It was said that a woman's heart was the most vicious! Today, they finally learned their lesson.
The two who were called over immediately felt a chill run down their spines. However, they could only sigh. This woman was indeed not to be trifled with. She even punished the dragon steeds.
However, they felt that it was still alright. The engine room could only accommodate ten dragon steeds at a time. There were more than twenty people who were punished. Their mounts could be rotated, so it wasn't too much of a problem for the dragon steeds.
The three of them walked into the stables. Miao Yi had memorized the room numbers of the three major sects. The room numbers corresponded to the number of the stables. Ten of Su Jinggong's and the others' dragon steeds were driven out first. They were then driven into the engine room through the passageway.
Inside the engine room, ten dragon steeds were chained to a wheel, each running around it like a donkey pulling a mill. Their respective masters were sitting cross-legged at the side, taking turns steering the ship.
There were two hundred cultivators on the ship. For the sake of fairness, ten dragon steeds would be assigned to pull the wheel for a day. They would take turns to do it. Everyone would probably need to pull the wheel three times to reach the Sea of Constellations.
When they saw Miao Yi and the others driving their dragon steeds in, the ten people sitting cross-legged in the engine room opened their eyes and stood up. It wasn't time to change shifts yet. Why were they here? Naturally, they had to ask what was going on.
The two who were called over told them about how Su Jinggong and the others had offended Wu Menglan. The ten people in the engine room sighed, but they didn't have any objections. In the future, they wouldn't have to use their own mounts to do hard labor. Why not?
To prevent the ship from suddenly stopping, the ten people switched out their mounts one by one. They switched out Su Jinggong's and the others' mounts.
Naturally, Miao Yi had to explain everything in detail. He let this group of people take over from the next group and continue to switch out the mounts of the three major sects.
Before he left, Miao Yi reminded them again, "I am a colleague of the three major sects. We are good friends. You don't have to worry about feeding them. I will take care of it myself. When you change shifts, pass the message down."
Since he could save them some trouble, they didn't mind. At the same time, they felt that Miao Yi was quite a loyal person. Some of them thought that Miao Yi was just flattering the three major sects. Naturally, he was doing this so that he would have someone to rely on in the Sea of Constellations.
Miao Yi didn't care about what they thought.
By the time he returned to his room, the vast sea outside had already turned into a violent storm. He took out some iced fruits from the cold jade box and tasted them. While eating, she walked to the window. It was inconvenient to open the door on the balcony due to the storm outside. She could only open a gap in the window to let the wind and rain in.
Miao Yi peeked through the gap in the window and saw Su Jinggong and more than twenty people standing stiffly at the bow of the ship. They were all Blue Lotus cultivators, so they were still able to withstand the storm that could blow away an ordinary person. This was evident from the fact that they were standing still at the bow of the ship.
However, it was a tragic sight to behold in such a harsh environment. It was especially so when a huge wave crashed against the bow of the ship from time to time. It made Su Jinggong and the others even more resolute.
Miao Yi couldn't help but click his tongue as he watched as he ate. It was a pity that the storm couldn't last for three months. Otherwise, he would've been able to give these guys a taste of their own medicine.
The reason why he punished these people from the rooftop to the bow of the ship was because he was afraid that Wu Menglan would find it strange. If she found it strange, she would definitely go up and ask why. If she asked why, she would definitely be exposed. It was better to keep Wu Menglan out of sight and out of mind.
Miao Yi closed the window and sat cross-legged on the bed. He tossed an Orb of Will into his mouth and meditated to cultivate.
The storm on the sea came and went quickly. In less than half a day, the rain and clouds outside had already dispersed, revealing a pure and vast sky filled with stars. It was already late at night, and the sound of the waves that had calmed down from the storm was pleasant to the ears. Charcoal, who had already hidden inside the house, was swinging its tail and dozing off leisurely.
Miao Yi stopped cultivating and got out of bed. He opened the door and walked to the balcony. He lifted his head to look at the bright stars in the night sky. The moonless sea and sky were exceptionally pleasant. He looked at the bow of the ship and saw that the twenty people were still standing firm.
Miao Yi flew down and landed on the deck, then walked over. The twenty people at the bow of the ship, who were cultivating with their eyes closed, opened their eyes and turned to look at him.
"Thank you for your hard work." Miao Yi cupped his fists.
"Steward Miao, we were just looking for you," Wan Yanhua said.
Miao Yi swept a glance at the women. This was the disadvantage of being a cultivator. Even such a huge storm wasn't able to turn them into drowned chickens. Otherwise, he would have been able to see the difference between the figures of these beautiful women and ordinary women.
"What is it?" Miao Yi asked.
Li Yaoqi sighed, "Steward Miao, it's fine for us to keep standing here. However, when it's our dragon steeds' turn to be on duty, we can't go on stage. If we slow down the ship, I'm afraid we'll anger Hall Master Wu again. Steward Miao, can you make arrangements for us?"
Miao Yi chuckled, "Don't worry. I've already rearranged the order of duty in the engine room. Your dragon steeds won't have to go on stage. You can just rest in the stables. You're all being punished, so the others will understand. "
As expected of a life and death situation between them. He didn't even blush when he said these words. Their mounts were running around tiredly, and he actually said they were resting.
"Thank you, Steward Miao." Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, everyone still cupped their fists and thanked him.
Wan Yanhua then said, "Steward Miao, there's one more thing. We're being punished here, so I'm afraid we'll have some trouble feeding our mounts. I'd like to ask Steward Miao to help us."
"About that!" Miao Yi took the opportunity to raise his conditions, "Everyone knows that I'm alone. I wonder if the three major sects can take care of me when we reach the Sea of Constellations?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was initially a little worried that he'd take advantage of the situation to sabotage them. However, they were relieved now. It was obvious that he still wanted to curry favor with the three major sects to save his own life. He didn't dare to offend them too much. His reputation was obviously not as important as his own life.
Everyone laughed coldly in their hearts, but on the surface, they still politely nodded and said, "Of course."
Su Jinggong even promised, "When we reach the Sea of Constellations, you can follow any one of the three major sects if you want."
"Yes." Li Yaoqi and Wan Yanhua also promised. They had to calm Miao Yi down first.
Miao Yi immediately smiled and cupped his fists, "Everyone, don't worry. Leave the matter of your mounts to me. As long as you're all safe, you'll be a great help to me when we reach the Sea of Constellations."
After both parties completed their transaction, Miao Yi took his leave.
As soon as he left, Su Jinggong and the others exchanged glances with their backs to him. Each of them had a fierce look in their eyes as they sneered. 'You want us to help you when we reach the Sea of Constellations? We'll see how you die then! ' 'If it weren't for you, Miao Yi, telling Wu Menglan about this matter, would we have had to endure that torrential storm just now?'
The torrential storm just now had completely washed away the gratitude they had for Miao Yi's help. As they endured the torrential storm, their hearts were filled with hatred! Unfortunately, that bastard had formed a relationship with Wu Menglan. As long as they were still on this ship, they couldn't afford to offend him. They could only endure it for now and wait until they reached the Sea of Constellations to settle the score with that bastard.
Miao Yi also revealed a cold smile as he left. He came here to beg them to make a deal so that they could feel at ease. He didn't expect the three major sects to protect him when he reached the Sea of Constellations. He could only rely on himself to survive. It wasn't safe to entrust his life to others, especially his enemies.
'You want me to feed your mounts? Let's see how you can act so arrogantly in front of me when you get to the Sea of Constellations while riding on a bunch of weaklings! '
Of course, he would still feed them. However, he would control his actions and gradually hollow out the dragon steeds' bodies.
Even though it was a little cruel, he had no other choice. Regardless of whether he killed the other party's people or dragon steeds, his actions would be exposed if he reported it to Wu Menglan before he disembarked. He would treat Wu Menglan like a fool. There was no way Wu Menglan would forgive him.
Although it was good to take the opportunity to take revenge, there was no need to put himself in danger. There was no need to rush. He already had the initiative in his hands. He just had to take it slow.
He returned to his room, closed the door, and continued cultivating.
Early the next morning, the golden sun rose from the blue sea. Miao Yi stopped cultivating and jumped down from the balcony. He walked to the bow of the ship and said to Su Jinggong and the others, "Hall Master Wu told me to report on the situation on the ship every day. I'll go now and plead on your behalf. Let's see if Hall Master Wu will be magnanimous enough to let you go."
"Thank you." Everyone immediately cupped their fists and thanked him. In reality, the longer they stood there, the more they hated him.
"You're welcome. We're all on the same side. We still have to rely on each other when we reach the Sea of Constellations." Miao Yi politely said before leaving.
'On the same side? Who's on the same side as you? ' Everyone sneered at his words.
Flying up to the balcony, Miao Yi raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky, then back at the golden sun. The corner of his lips curled into a sly smile. 'The sun today is probably a little too big. Last night they were showered in water, and today they're exposed to the sun. These guys are really lucky.
Knock knock knock! ' Miao Yi returned to Wu Menglan's room and knocked on the door, then respectfully said, "Sister Meng!"
In short, no matter how displeased Wu Menglan was, he still didn't respect her as a Hall Master and refused to let her go by calling her 'Sister Meng'. It was more or less effective. At least it was more convenient for him to talk when he called her 'Sister'.
"Come in!" Wu Menglan's voice came from inside the room.
Miao Yi invoked his arts and unlocked the bolt behind the door. He pushed the door open and walked to the door of Wu Menglan's room. Seeing that Wu Menglan was still sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating, Miao Yi cupped his fists and said, "As per Sister Meng's instructions, I've come to report on the situation every day."
Wu Menglan didn't even bother to open her eyes. She calmly said, "Speak."
"Everything on the ship is normal. It's just that …" Miao Yi was a little hesitant.
Wu Menglan abruptly opened her eyes and asked, "But what?" She didn't want anything to happen on the ship either. Only by sending everyone to the Sea of Constellations would she be satisfied. Unless she had no other choice, she wouldn't go on a killing spree on the ship.
Miao Yi smiled and said, "Everything is normal on our ship. As for the other ships, I don't know. Why don't I help Sister Meng ask around?"
Wu Menglan's eyes flashed, and the corner of her lips curled into a sneer. "Are you that kind? Do you have some ulterior motives? "
