In the following days, Yan Li ate, lived, and traveled with the Worship Sect members. He gradually learned that the four of them had not been waiting for him at Living Town, but just happened to meet here.
The Wei King's Territory and the Sea Sky Territory could be said to be in the south and the north. Even though transportation had increased the efficiency of travel, it still took them five days to reach Sea Yu City in the Sea Sky Territory.
Disembarking from the ship, the salty and wet smell of the sea rushed into their nostrils.
Yan Li frowned a little uncomfortably.
"Little Brother Yan doesn't like water." Although Dan looked lazy and drunk, his eyes were very sharp.
Yan Li shook his head. "Not really. It's my first time in the Sea Sky Territory, and I'm not used to the climate here."
"When I first came here, I was also very troubled by the omnipresent salty smell." Dan shrugged. "Then a local taught me a secret recipe, and I was cured."
"Oh?" Yan Li asked, "What secret recipe?"
Dan grinned, patted Yan Li's shoulder, and pointed to the surging sea outside the dock. "Take a bucket and drink it. Vomit for a day and a night, and you'll be cured."
"Sir, you really know how to joke," Yan Li said.
"He's not joking." Nest of All Wood Roots interjected. "I just told him it was wine."
Dan's expression changed slightly, as if recalling the scene where he had vomited bile. "Old man, you've made things difficult for me."
"Generally speaking, white lies should be forgiven," Nest said lightly.
At this time, they passed by the notice board at the port and saw a dozen portraits pasted on it. Among them, the words "Worship Sect" were written in cinnabar. It was very eye-catching.
As the most vicious villains in the Jambu Realm, the bounty on each of them was astronomical. It was a pity that no one had received it so far.
But the biggest breakthrough this time was not only the destruction of their altar, but also the appearance of some of the Worship Sect members. The next day, they were pasted all over the streets and alleys.
Therefore, the Beast King and the others were now wrapped in thick black robes. To avoid attracting attention, Yan Li was also forced to change.
"It's so ugly." Dan raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine. "I wish I could draw it myself."
"Milord also dabbles in painting?" Yan Li asked curiously.
Dan chuckled. "Do you know why people call me Dan?"
"Because Your Excellency is good at drawing?" Yan Li asked.
"Because when I drink a mouthful of wine, it turns into red cinnabar when I spit it out," Dan said with a smile.
"Cinnabar?" Yan Li asked.
"It's not ordinary cinnabar either. Using it to draw talismans has double the effect," Dan said, blinking his eyes.
Yan Li said, "What does that have to do with painting?"
"Generally speaking, a person who lies without blinking is usually not a good person, but a person who lies without blinking is definitely not a good person," Nest said lightly.
Dan laughed loudly and said proudly, "I once drank so much that I vomited blood and accidentally spat it on a piece of paper. It just so happened to form a portrait. That's me!"
"I admire you." What else could Yan Li say?
After leaving the harbor, the Beast King, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Which inn did he speak of?"
"Yunlai Inn," Nest said lightly.
Yan Li's eyes flickered. "Milord, where did I get the confidence to deal with the Golden Crow Queen?"
"Because our Fengtian Sect intervened." Xia Yin smiled greedily. "Bu Luo City has thousands of years of inheritance. It must have accumulated countless treasures."
At this time, they passed by a pancake stall.
Haiyu City's pancakes were also different from other places. They were filled with a fishy smell. Yan Li wanted to vomit when he smelled it.
The Beast King stood in front of the stall and stared blankly at the pancakes that could be bought with just a drop in the bucket.
"Milord, what's wrong?" Yan Li asked.
"Maybe he's remembering the past." Dan sighed and said in a frivolous tone, "You don't know, but our Hai had a hard time when he was young. There were seven children in the family, and he was the third. The eldest and second children were the pillars of the family. Unexpectedly, they were beaten to death by the soldiers when they came to watch the show. They only compensated with two straw mats. Since then, our Hai couldn't even afford a pancake. He drooled in front of other pancake stalls every day. As a result, he fell in love with pancakes. Every time he saw pancakes, he couldn't move. "
Yan Li thought to himself, "Are you kidding me?" He turned to look at the Beast King, who was furious but couldn't refute him. He secretly wiped his sweat. "This … happiness is similar, but misfortune has its own misfortune. The past is the past. Milord, please don't take it to heart."
"Happiness is similar, but misfortune has its own misfortune." Dan chewed on it and said in deep thought, "Well said."
"Generally speaking, what you think is misfortune is the real misfortune," Nest said lightly.
"Being poor is a crime," Xia Yin said with a strange smile. Xia Yin smiled strangely. "One must never be poor. Otherwise, one will end up with a strange disease like Hai."
"Shut up and go!" The Beast King's face darkened. He turned and left.
Yan Li looked at the backs of the four of them and suddenly realized that if they stripped off their "vicious and murderous" outer appearance, they were no different from the millions of people in the Jambu Realm.
The Clouds Inn was an ordinary inn. Even compared to the inns in the middle of nowhere, it didn't have many changes.
If one had to point out a difference, just by looking at the fat innkeeper and his rosy face, one would know that the inn must be very rich.
After dinner, Yan Li knocked on Dan's door and waved the black and white gemini in his hand. "Interested?"
Dan's eyes immediately lit up. His drunken eyes sobered up. "Come, come, come. This time, you have to give me three stones."
Yan Li closed the door and moved the low table to the couch. He used a cloth as a cushion and sat opposite Dan. "Your chess skills are improving every day. I can't give you three stones."
Over the past few days, he had been secretly testing the interest of the four of them in an attempt to find a breakthrough in his investigation. He accidentally discovered that Dan liked to play chess very much, but he was very bad at it. Even though he didn't know much about chess, he could beat Dan completely. Thus, he bought a set of chess pieces on the way. Under the pretext of killing time, he played chess and chatted at the same time.
Dan was very talkative and very knowledgeable. The way he talked inadvertently had the demeanor of a noble family disciple. It was just that it was rare. It was only when he didn't drink. But besides sleeping, there was almost no time when he didn't drink, unless he ran out of wine.
The two quickly started the game.
