Heading to Yao Zhou
Completely unaware that she was about to gain an older brother and a father by default, Sang Ying was currently preparing to travel to Yao Zhou.
After they had been holed up in the courtyard for several days, Jiang Zhuoxue finally spoke up and decided to go to Yao Zhou.
During this time, Sang Ying also focused on cultivation, and the rich Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Spirit Realm greatly benefited her. Now, Sang Ying is just one step away from the Middle Golden Core.
Now that we've decided to go to Yao Zhou, the first thing we need to do is book a boat to go Yao Zhou.
As a small world built on the sea, the most frequently used magical Law Artifact in the Immortal Spirit Realm is not a flying boat, but a spirit ship.
Thus, many shipping Lineage like Jiang Haisheng's family came into being, making a living by carrying passengers. They had specially made spirit ships that could sail safely on the sea without worrying about being attacked by sea Demon Beast.
If you wish to take a boat trip, you only need to pay a certain amount of Spirit Stone.
Although Sang Ying was new to the area, Jiang Haisheng had introduced her to several ship owners beforehand. They were all said to be reliable people, and each of them was quite capable.
Sang Ying went to the dock to find them and learned that one of them was going to Yao Zhou in a few days, so she booked a room on that person's boat.
The boat owner's surname was Wu; he was a burly man with a straightforward personality.
The price he asked for wasn't high, just one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone.
Sailing on such a treacherous sea, charging only one hundred mid-grade Spirit Stone is already a very reasonable price, so Sang Ying naturally had no reason to refuse.
"Alright, I'll set sail in three days. Just bring your ticket then." Despite being Nascent Soul Cultivator, Captain Wu showed no airs of a high-level cultivator, smiling as he handed Sang Ying a jade ticket and gave her his instructions.
The ticket even had the logo of Wu's ship specially engraved on it.
Having booked the boat, Sang Ying, seeing that it was still early, went to the All Under Heaven Pavilion again.
Seeing this, Gu Shu said sarcastically, "You seem to really like that All Under Heaven Pavilion, huh? Why do you keep going there?"
After saying that, he tapped the Floating River Sword with his bone sword again.
Floating River spun around and struck, nearly knocking him to the ground.
The two swords were made of vastly different materials, making them incomparable. Although Gu Shu was unwilling, he had to admit that Floating River was indeed a rare and excellent sword, which only made him angrier.
Sang Ying knew perfectly well that Gu Shu was prone to jealousy. She could only explain, "The Bone Sword is no longer suitable for you to live here. Before I leave, I want to go to the All Under Heaven Pavilion to find you a spiritual treasure so that you can live more comfortably there."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shu immediately perked up and boasted to the speechless Floating River, "Listen to this, Sang Ying is even going to get me a new house!"
Unlike you, who always has only one sword sheath.
Floating River, who can't speak:... Do you believe I'll chop you in half right now?!
The All Under Heaven Pavilion was filled with rare and precious treasures. After Sang Ying briefly made her request to the shop assistant, he found her a jade pendant carved into the shape of a small sword.
"I don't know what material this thing is made of, but it's filled with Spiritual Qi, yet no one can absorb it. So it's been left in the shop, and no cultivator has been willing to buy it." It was precisely because the jade pendant was so special that the shopkeeper had such a strong impression of it.
This was something useless to others, but it was exactly what Sang Ying needed.
Since the jade pendant had been gathering dust in the All Under Heaven Pavilion's warehouse for many years, the shopkeeper decided to lower the price for its sale.
Finally, Sang Ying spent fifty mid-grade Spirit Stone to buy the jade pendant.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one could see him, Gu Shu waited until Sang Ying put on the jade pendant before rushing inside.
As soon as he entered the jade pendant, the rich Spiritual Qi inside instantly filled his entire body, allowing his Sword Qi to expand freely. It was far more comfortable than being confined inside the bone sword.
"I've come today to bid farewell to the manager," Sang Ying said, adding that she was also heading to Yao Zhou.
The shopkeeper already knew about what happened at the auction, so he naturally knew what Sang Ying was going to do.
He recalled his master, who was prone to making decisions on a whim, and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, my master will be going to Yao Zhou soon. Perhaps the fairy will have a chance to meet him."
I wonder what kind of expression the girl in front of me will have when she hears that she has an older brother.
Sang Ying paused upon hearing this. "So the owner of your shop is also heading to Yao Zhou? What a coincidence!"
It seems the Gong Household sent more than just the invitation presented at the auction to the Jimo Household.
"Yes, our master is someone who loves to join in the fun. If you two meet, perhaps you could become friends." The shopkeeper had already begun to subtly speak well of his master to Sang Ying.
Although Sang Ying didn't understand the shopkeeper's intentions, she still politely replied, "It would be a wonderful opportunity to get to know the owner of your shop."
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, then warmly saw Sang Ying to the door once again.
After leaving All Under Heaven Pavilion, Sang Ying bought some spirit rice and spirit vegetables and put them in her Storage Bag for future use.
When she returned to the courtyard, Jiang Zhuoxue was nestled on a spirit fruit on the table, teasing Green Vine with her tail.
The vines, not much smarter than a three-year-old Human Race child, were foolishly being toyed with by their master, who seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.
As soon as Sang Ying returned, Jiang Zhuoxue immediately dropped her tail, her slender body striking a seductive pose as she looked at Sang Ying: "You're back. I've been waiting for you at home for so long."
Sang Ying nodded. "The ship will depart in three days. Let's use these few days to learn more about Yao Zhou and make some preparations."
Although it's unclear what Jiang Zhuoxue intends to do at the Dragon-Slaying Grand Assembly Slaying Gathering, it's certainly not something trivial, so it's best to be well-prepared.
As Sang Ying spoke, she headed towards the kitchen.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhuoxue disregarded the fact that she was from Yao Zhou immediately said, "I want to eat sweet and sour fish! The kind with extra sugar!"
"Oh right, I don't want spicy food!"
At the mention of spiciness, he wagged his tail in disgust, as if he really hated the taste.
Having fed the dragon and the vine for so long, Sang Ying had long since figured out Jiang Zhuoxue's preferences.
This person is cunning and ruthless, but surprisingly, he has a sweet tooth. These days, he has also inexplicably taken a liking to munching on spirit fruits, so Sang Ying would give him a few sweet spirit fruits to keep by his side every day.
Even when preparing for her outing today, she didn't forget to buy a bag of spirit fruits.
Hearing Jiang Zhuoxue's confident order, Sang Ying also loudly replied, "Okay!"
Hearing her agree, Jiang Zhuoxue, who was in the courtyard, instantly squinted her eyes in satisfaction and continued to lie lazily in the sun.
I'm finding it harder and harder to let her go...
Three days passed quickly, and the day of departure arrived. Sang Ying quickly packed her things and boarded the spirit ship with Jiang Zhuoxue and the others.
The enormous spirit ship raised its sails, and the small building-like vessel cut through layers of waves towards Yao Zhou. Sang Ying looked up and gazed into the distance. The sea surface was peaceful, but beneath the calm surface, there were turbulent undercurrents where countless sea beasts were tearing and struggling.
Just like Yao Zhou right now!
A note from the author:
The male protagonist uses all sorts of creative ways to seduce her every day, while the female protagonist is as upright as iron and rejects him in various ways.
This book is also known as "On How a Swordsman Can Reject Love".
Today, our beloved Bone Sword has also reached its end. This heartless swordsman, Sang Ying, has once again abandoned her "wife who shared hardship"!
Let's all ruthlessly condemn her!
