Ye Chen smiled lightly and put down the little girl in his embrace. He then finished the cup of wine brewed with flood dragon blood.
As soon as the flood dragon blood entered his throat, it turned into a bone-piercing chill that flowed through his limbs and finally into his stomach.
"Great wine!"
He could not help but nod in admiration.
Seeing that, the little girl picked up the empty cup and licked it with her tongue. Her eyes lit up immediately, "Daddy, I want to drink too …"
Before Ye Chen could say anything, the old man shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Not everyone can drink my wine."
The flood dragon blood wine was cold and strong. Although it had been diluted, even an ordinary martial king would not be able to tolerate the energy in a single drop.
Yet, the little girl wanted to drink it too.
"Grandpa, don't laugh …"
The little girl was a little unhappy. She glared at the old man and turned around to act coquettishly to Ye Chen, "Daddy, I want to drink too …"
Ye Chen then looked at the old man in the straw cape.
The latter hesitated for a moment and poured a cup for the little girl in the end. He could not help but say, "Fellow, this wine is extraordinary …"
Before he could finish, he noticed that the little girl had picked up the wine cup and gulped it down. After that, she even wiped her mouth and looked at the former in anticipation.
The old man's expression froze, but he still poured another cup for the little girl.
The little girl still gulped it down and burped. She raised her little face and looked at the former, "Grandpa, is there more?"
"N-No more …"
The old man in the straw cape hurriedly covered the ice pot. His face twitched, and he was shocked.
Even he could only drink five cups of this wine at once. Otherwise, he would not be able to resist the energy in the flood dragon blood.
He could completely understand that Ye Chen could drink one cup with his ability. However, the six-year-old girl drank two cups in a row. It shocked him.
He had no idea that the little girl had been eating Ye Chen's medicinal pills like candy since she was young. Coupled with a drop of Ye Chen's heart blood protecting her, her physique had been changed subtly.
Looking at the little girl's pitiful eyes, the old man hid the kettle well. He then looked at Ye Chen and coughed. "My disciple has no intention of offending you. I apologize to you."
From the moment Ye Chen came in, he had been observing Ye Chen. Although he could not sense any aura from Ye Chen at all, he could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
But the more it was like this, the more he feared it!
Ye Chen looked at him quietly and smiled lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the White Jade Capital's patriarch, right?"
The straw-caped old man poured him another cup of wine and pushed it over. "I'm Yu Jing Zi, the White Jade Capital's Grand Supreme Elder. May I know who you are?"
"Grandpa, didn't you say that you don't have any left? Liar, you're a liar! "The little fellow immediately rushed over angrily.
Yu Jingzi was speechless.
Ye Chen said calmly, "So it's Fellow Yu Jing. I'm Mad Southern Ye. I'm just passing by the Northern Region and have some connections with the Great Dynasty. Your disciple spoke rudely to me and even attacked me. That's why I killed him."
He could sense Yu Jing Zi's kindness, which caused the killing intent that he had accumulated to dissipate.
That was how he was. If you respect me, I'll respect you ten times!
"So it's Fellow Ye!"
Yu Jing Zi smiled and said, "Fellow Ye, I'm sure you're not from the Northern Region, right? May I know where you're from? "
He did not hide the probing tone in his words. After all, at his level, it would be easier for both parties to be suspicious if he was being secretive.
Moreover, Ye Chen's youth surprised him. He had never seen such a monstrous existence in the Northern Region.
"That's right!"
Ye Chen nodded lightly and did not say much. Instead, he went straight to the point and said, "I'll get straight to the point. I'm here to make sure that the White Jade Capital won't attack the Great Dynasty in the future.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind seeking your guidance today." At this point, the smile on his face gradually turned cold.
"Fellow Ye, you might not know this, but the founding emperor of the Great Dynasty was once a disciple of the White Jade Capital!"
He thought that Yu Jing Zi would not be able to reveal it, but the latter nodded in agreement, "Therefore, the Great Dynasty is also considered a part of the White Jade Capital. The reason for this misunderstanding is that my disciple didn't know about it."
"That's for the best!"
Ye Chen nodded and suddenly changed the topic, "Other than that, I have a question that I hope you can answer."
"Of course, I won't let you suffer a loss. Naturally, I'll compensate you!"
A purple medicinal pill appeared in his hand. The medicinal pill's fragrance spread everywhere, and there was a faint dragon and tiger phenomenon, "This pill is called the Spiritvoid Pill. It can increase your cultivation base."
As soon as that was said, Yu Jing Zi's expression changed, "May I know what you don't understand?"
Ye Chen said, "A year and a half ago, a netherworld ship appeared on the Northern Region's vast ocean. May I ask if you've seen it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Jing Zi's calm pupils constricted slightly.
Yu Jingzi's calm pupils constricted slightly. He then looked at Ye Chen steadily, "Fellow, are you from Zhongzhou?!"
"Why do you say that?"
Ye Chen was delighted and said, "I'm from the Tianfeng sea area, not Zhongzhou!"
Yu Jingzi took a deep look at him, then looked at the Spiritvoid Pill. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Since that's the case, I advise you not to ask about this matter, Fellow Daoist. Otherwise, it'll only bring disaster upon you."
He was the master of the White Jade Capital and the Northern Region's No. 1. His cultivation base had long reached the Martial Saint Stage. However, he still could not forget what happened a year and a half ago.
Ye Chen secretly frowned. His tone was slightly cold, "Fellow, I have to know about this. I hope you can help me."
Yu Jing Zi's reaction proved that he did know about the ghost ship.
How could Ye Chen miss this opportunity at a time like this? He had already done his etiquette. If Yu Jing Zi refused to tell him, he did not mind attacking.
As if sensing the coldness in his words, Yu Jing Zi sighed softly, "Fellow, can you swear that you won't implicate me if I tell you?"
He was unwilling to fight Ye Chen!
Firstly, he did not know Ye Chen's cultivation base. He vaguely felt that Ye Chen gave him a sense of danger. Secondly, he did not know Ye Chen's background.
Ye Chen's eyes focused when he heard that. He did not expect a Martial Saint to be so afraid.
He immediately said, "I can swear that I won't implicate you. Otherwise, I'll be destroyed by the heavens and abandoned by the gods …"
With that, he flicked his finger, and the Spiritvoid Pill landed in Yu Jing Zi's hand.
Yu Jing Zi waved his sleeve, and the scene before them changed. When they appeared again, they were already in a sealed cave abode.
"This is my place of closed-door cultivation. There's a formation around it that can avoid the detection of those existences …"
Yu Jing Zi took a deep breath in and said slowly, "Fellow Ye, I've indeed seen that netherworld ship …"
