Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Asking a Few Questions

On the gigantic cyan ship, Lih Fengxing and others were all meditating in a cross-legged position.

The gigantic cyan ship is a flying Sub-Saint Artifact; everyone merely needs to release their Primordial Power to drive it through the air.

Aside from that, they need do nothing else.

Traveling to the Central Region requires passing through a million great mountains and a hundred thousand dangerous lands; the journey is extremely long.

On such a long journey, martial artists with flying Sub-Saint Artifacts spend most of their time in cultivation instead of flying themselves.

Xiao Yi did not wake them, simply walking to the edge of the ship to quietly contemplate some matters.

However, just at that moment, a graceful figure slowly approached.

”Young Master little thief.”

The newcomer was none other than Chu Rou.

”Is Young Master little thief’s injury alright now?”

Though Chu Rou teased with a smile, her tone clearly held a trace of concern.

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and nodded, ”It’s alright.”

”Did Miss Chu Rou come looking for me for something?”

Chu Rou chuckled softly and shook her head, ”It’s just that Young Master little thief saved my life, so I came specifically to thank you.”

Xiao Yi smiled faintly and said, ”No need, it was just incidental.”

”After all, I was also trapped in the forest and couldn’t leave without killing those black-clothed Martial Artists.”

Chu Rou shook her head earnestly, ”A rescue is still a rescue; a thank you is necessary.”

Xiao Yi nodded and remained silent after that.

He didn’t have much interaction with Chu Rou and wasn’t familiar enough to have topics to discuss.

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward.

Xiao Yi paid no mind, intending to quietly ponder some matters.

After a while, Chu Rou was the first to speak, ”Young Master little thief...”

Xiao Yi interrupted with a faint smile, ”You don’t need to call me Young Master.”

”Oh,” Chu Rou paused and teased, ”Xiao Yi the little thief.”

Xiao Yi’s face was instantly covered in black lines, ”I meant, just call me by my name.”

Chu Rou covered her mouth and smiled.

At this point, a figure in simple garments slowly walked over from a distance.

Chu Rou glanced over and displayed an expression of realization.

”No wonder Young Master Xiao Yi avoids us to come to this edge of the ship.”

”And no wonder Young Master Xiao Yi seems uninterested in talking with me, remaining silent.”

”So, it’s to wait for his lady love here.”

”Tsk tsk, seems I’ve come at the wrong time,” Chu Rou chuckled softly, her tone full of teasing.

Xiao Yi’s head was filled with black lines, ”Miss Chu Rou, do you find teasing me extremely amusing?”

”Somewhat,” Chu Rou smiled.

At this time, Cheng Suyan had already approached, holding a set of wide robes.

Xiao Yi knew her intention and softly said, ”Awake?”

”Yes,” Cheng Suyan nodded slightly, ”I’ve been awake for a while, but I didn’t dare to disturb you while you were healing.”

”Returning your clothes.”

Cheng Suyan handed over the robes with a smile.

Xiao Yi took them and teased with a smile, ”I don’t sell clothes and don’t charge money, no need to hurry to return.”

This is because he and Cheng Suyan had interacted a few times, so they had some topics to discuss.

Cheng Suyan blushed; she naturally understood Xiao Yi was referring to her selling Elixirs and clothes at Boiling Volcano previously.

Beside them, Chu Rou looked at Cheng Suyan and smiled, ”Rumor has it that Miss Suyan from the Huoli Sect has always been low-key. I didn’t expect she would have such a deep friendship with Young Master Xiao Yi.”

”In the forest earlier, when Miss Suyan was injured and unconscious,”

”Young Master Xiao Yi carefully held her without letting go.”

”Uh.” Cheng Suyan glanced at Xiao Yi, her face turning crimson.

Xiao Yi’s face darkened as he glared at Chu Rou.

This woman seemed determined to oppose him with her words.

Cheng Suyan’s blush suddenly faded as she looked seriously at Xiao Yi, ”Young Master little thief, thank you for saving me this time.”

Xiao Yi wore a look of helplessness, ”Just call me by my name.”

He really didn’t know when the term ”little thief” became permanently attached to his name.

On the other side, Lih Fengxing suddenly awoke.

”Hmm? Deacon Xiao Yi, you’re awake? Are your injuries still serious?”

Lih Fengxing’s question immediately roused the others who were meditating.

”Xiao Yi, are your injuries still serious?”

Almost everyone asked the same question.

Only Qin Hongyi glanced at Cheng Suyan and Chu Rou beside Xiao Yi.

She blandly commented, ”A little thief is a little thief, waking up only to indulge in romance.”

”Being able to focus on these things indicates the injury is likely fine.”

Lih Fengxing laughed heartily, ”We are all Heavenly Talents of the Wind Saint Territory, journeying together.”

”Yet, in these vast million mountains, we meet Deacon Xiao Yi and are saved by him; it must be fate.”

”In any case, today calls for a celebration.”

”First, for surviving death; second, to celebrate meeting Deacon Xiao Yi again.”

Saying this, Lih Fengxing waved a hand, and numerous jars of fine wine appeared out of nowhere.

Lih Fengxing was unquestionably a forthright person.

At the edge of the ship, Cheng Suyan slightly chided and walked over.

Chu Rou smiled and glanced at Xiao Yi, teasing, ”I still vividly remember the punch Young Master Xiao Yi gave me at the Wind Silence Sacred Land.”

”Although I can’t defeat Young Master Xiao Yi, I can still talk nonsense.”

Saying this, Chu Rou walked away on her own.

Xiao Yi shook his head helplessly.

Women are petty creatures, something he had realized long ago.

He originally intended to think alone, but now there were some matters he needed to ask Lih Fengxing.

So he also left the ship’s edge and walked toward the center.

Picking up a jar of fine wine, he took a sip and laughed lightly, ”Good wine.”

”Haha,” Lih Fengxing laughed heartily, ”As long as Deacon Xiao Yi likes it.”

”This wine is brewed from Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, strong in nature but excellent in taste, non-intoxicating, with great cultivation benefits.”

Xiao Yi nodded; being an Alchemist, he naturally knew the wine’s benefits.

Also, every ingredient in this wine is a high-grade Heavenly Treasure.

”By the way, how did you also end up here?” Xiao Yi glanced at Yu Feng, the Kuanglan Sect Master, and others.

He had long wondered about Yu Feng and others’ presence but was preoccupied with dealing with Beiyin Palace martial artists before to ask.

Crossing the million great mountains and a hundred thousand dangerous lands is extremely perilous.

Lih Fengxing and the Eldest Prince are exceptions due to their strength.

Yet, Yu Feng, the Kuanglan Sect Master, including Cheng Suyan, Chu Rou, and others, evidently lacked the strength.

Traversing these vast and perilous lands posed great danger even to Xiao Yi.

Let alone that Yu Feng and others hadn’t reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm, making their journey to the Central Region extremely perilous.

Although there had been many conflicts at the Wind Silence Sacred Land, those were mere exchanges during the Wind Silence Conference, not real enmity.

Being fellow Heavenly Talents from the Wind Saint Territory, it was natural for Xiao Yi to inquire.
