On the deck, Ling Xian checked out the woman in white and his eyes flickered with shock.
This was because he couldn't tell how capable this woman was. But one thing was for sure, this woman's foundation was not weaker than his own.
This meant this woman was not an ordinary person.
"You are very capable. Not only did you tame the beast, but you are also very strong yourself."
The beautiful lady stared at Ling Xian for a long time. She could tell how extraordinary he was.
"Same here." Ling Xian smiled, "My name is Ling Xian. I wonder what your name is?"
"Mei Yan Rou." The beautiful woman smiled warmly.
"Good name." Ling Xian said politely and got straight to the point, "Have you heard of the Demon Defending City?"
"The four ancient cities are famous. Of course I have." Mei Yan Rou smiled. Her eyes flashed with shock.
"Can you give me the exact location?" Ling Xian's eyes brightened.
"Of course. But this place is too far away from the Demon Defending City. If we fly, it will take at least three to five years."
Mei Yan Rou said gently, "During this period of time, you may not be able to hold on."
"That's true. Ignoring the unknown risks, the pressure of the universe alone is difficult to handle."
Ling Xian frowned, feeling troubled.
Even though his physique had reached level-seven, it was still difficult for him to stay in space for three to five years. One wrong move and he would fall into an unrecoverable state.
"If you are willing, I can give you a ride."
Mei Yan Rou smiled warmly, "Though my destination is not the Demon Defending City, I will pass by."
"That would be for the best." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.
"Miss, I …" The middle-aged man hesitated.
"It's okay. I believe you are not a bad person." Mei Yan Rou smiled. Her smile was warm and beautiful.
"Thank you for your trust." Ling Xian paid his respect.
"It is fate that we met. You are being too polite." Mei Yan Rou brandished her hand, "Let me show you around."
"Okay." Ling Xian nodded, very interested in this ship.
For one, this ship was made of a special material. Even with his knowledge, he couldn't name it. Secondly, the ship was covered with rune arrays. For a dual array grandmaster like him, the attractiveness was naturally not small.
"Please." Soft Mist stretched out her jade-like hand and walked towards the cabin.
At this, Ling Xian marched forward and followed.
Then, the astonishment in his eyes intensified.
"It was actually refined from a star. How extravagant."
Ling Xian was in awe as he recognized the material of this ship.
"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight." Soft Mei smiled faintly, without any intention of showing off.
However, the material of the boat itself was a form of deterrence.
Using stars as materials, how could an ordinary person be able to do such a thing? It was enough to prove that Soft Mist had a very deep background.
"The rune array network is also quite extraordinary. It can attack, defend, speed, seal, and all sorts of arrays. It really is an incredible treasure."
Ling Xian exclaimed. The arrays on this ship were all godly. He could also tell that these arrays were created by a grandmaster.
It should be known that martial grandmasters were extremely rare existences. Even in the entire universe, there were only a few of them.
This was enough to prove that Soft Mist's background was very deep.
"You are flattering me." Soft Mist faintly smiled as shock flashed across her eyes.
The arrays on the ship were well hidden and normal people could not see through them. Yet Ling Xian saw through them right away. Naturally, she was surprised.
"It's not over the top. A grandmaster personally made this." Ling Xian shook his head and complimented sincerely.
This startled Soft Mist and made her even more surprised.
Seeing through the heavenly arrays was one thing. Anyone with a bit of knowledge could see that. But to be able to tell that it was a grandmaster … that was unbelievable.
"It seems like you are a master of ancient arrays, and not a low one at that." Mei Yan stared at Ling Xian.
"No, I only know a little." Ling Xian was humble.
If those who knew him heard this, they wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. If a grandmaster only knew a little, then nobody in the world would dare to call themselves knowledgeable in arrays.
"Soft Mist, who is this?" A handsome man suddenly appeared before them.
He was dressed in white and had a handsome face. He could be said to be like a jade tree in the wind, handsome and confident.
However, his eyes flickered with a cold light.
"This is Ling Xian, friend Ling."
Soft Mist briefly introduced and then said to Ling Xian, "He is Wen Longyuan, the most talented descendant of the Wen Clan."
Hearing this, Wen Longyuan smiled proudly and looked at Ling Xian with a hint of pride.
He didn't know that Ling Xian had never heard of the Wen Clan and didn't think much of Wen Longyuan.
He merely had five undefeatable realms. Although he was a genius, he wasn't worthy of his attention.
"Soft Mist, you rest. I will show you around," Wen Longyuan said with a smile.
"Let me do it." Soft Mei refused and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Ling, please."
Hearing this, Wen Longyuan's eyes flashed with jealousy. His smile turned cold as well.
This made Ling Xian laugh. He knew that Wen Longyuan was in love with Soft Mist. Therefore, seeing that she was traveling with him, he couldn't help but be jealous.
"What a small heart."
Ling Xian silently evaluated Wen Longyuan. Then, he marched forward and caught up to Mei Yan Yan.
This made Wen Longyuan's eyes turn cold and he followed as well.
After some time, the three of them arrived at the main hall of the ship. The place was very lively. Some were playing chess, others were playing dice.
Seeing Soft Mist, everyone stopped what they were doing and bowed to her.
"There is no need to be so polite." Soft Mist lifted her hand and shifted her gaze to Ling Xian, "The journey through the universe is boring. This is the place to kill time."
"Interesting." Ling Xian's interest was piqued.
"Friend Ling, are you interested in playing a game of chess with me?" Wen Longyuan suddenly asked.
"No, I don't understand chess." Ling Xian brandished his hand. He knew that Wen Longyuan was looking for trouble. Of course he wouldn't agree.
Plus, he really didn't know how to play chess.
"Friend Ling, you must be joking. The art of chess has a long history. How can you not know?" The corner of Wen Longyuan's lips curled up, "Are you afraid?"
"Perhaps." Ling Xian softly smiled and ignored Wen Longyuan's provocation.
All his attention was on the strange stones.
Based on his senses, he could sense that there was something strange inside the stones. But what exactly it was, he didn't know. Even if he opened his Inner Eyes, he wouldn't be able to find out.
"These are called strange stones. Inside, there may be some heavenly treasures, or there may be nothing."
"As for what you get out of them, that will depend on your luck and your eyesight."
Seeing that Ling Xian was staring at the stones, Soft Mist briefly introduced them.
"Interesting stuff." Ling Xian's interest was piqued.
"If you are interested, you can pick one. I will give it to you." Soft Mist smiled brightly.
Hearing this, Wen Longyuan became even more jealous. This was a treatment even he didn't get. Naturally, he wasn't happy.
Thus, he provoked, "Why don't we each pick one and make a bet? The loser will have to pay for two stones. How about that?"
