Chapter 311: Annoying Lan (1/2)

As the ship arrived next to the blood ship, it stopped, and the passengers could see a bunch of dangerous-looking people on the other ship were looking menacingly at them, greed flashing in their eyes.

They had seen that their own ship was incapable of catching up with this blood ship, was it not for the fact that they had a great expert on board their ship to fuel it with Qi.

Xue Wei was tentative as his eyes swept over the experts on the opposite deck. There were a lot of experts, but their strength was all equal to his, they were all a wide variety of Earth, Sky, Heavenly Knights.

None of the people present were capable of fueling the ship as they had seen so although he was not too worried about these experts, he could not let his heart relax, as he knew the real owner of the boat was not to be taken lightly.

They did not board their ship as the entire delegation had expected, but they gathered on the deck and observed them, all of them clearly restless as their eyes scanned the people aboard the ship.

It was as if they were looking for something or someone, but they had not explained who it was, neither did they know seem familiar to any of the people aboard the blood ship.

Suddenly the other ship trembled, and a magnificent person appeared from below the deck.

Looking at him, Xue Wei instantly had one word popping into his mind: Demon.

This man had grey skin, pointed ears, two long horns on top of his head, cat-like pupils, fangs, claws and tiger paws, and legs.

This was a race different from any other race Xue Wei had encountered so far, and the only name that would fit him would be a demon. Although Xue Wei was aware that he too was a descendant of the different unions between man and beast, he felt that this was a mutation that had changed drastically throughout the thousands of years that had passed.

When Xue Wei came across this man, he felt as if he was looking at a big black hole. There was simply no way to measure his strength, no way to determine how strong he actually was.

When he appeared, the greed that flashed in the eyes of the rest of the experts quickly vanished and they all respectfully made a path for him to walk through towards their blood ship.

Xue Wei noticed that this demon was looking at one person only. He was staring at the King, and the King was also frowning as she looked back at him. It seemed that she had recognized him.

At first, Xue Wei was worried that there was hostility between the two, however, after seeing how the demon was smiling brilliantly, and the frown on the King's face was more of a confused frown than a hostile one, he quickly relaxed his taut muscles.

A small smile flitted across his lips, and he leaned back against the mast. It was at this time the demon looked at him, their eyes clashed, and the demon instantly guessed his thoughts.

Xue Wei did nothing to hide his thoughts, and then he called out, ”Relax and make space for him, he is here to visit an old friend.”

Hearing Xue Wei's words, the sailors and two delegations suddenly felt much safer. They somehow wholly trusted in his words after experiencing the drama back at the Berserkers’ island.

Since they trusted him, all of them suddenly relaxed and retreated; they allowed the demon to jump across from one ship to another casually.

He went straight to the King, stood in front of her, two heads taller than her, and looked down upon her.

”I wonder if you could predict that we would meet again,” he said with a slight happy smile on his lips, and the King who had been frowning before had a helpless expression on her face as she shook her head.

”Let us go to the side to talk,” she said feeling slightly uncomfortable with everyone staring at her, especially the dangerous-looking experts on the other ship were staring at her as if they had seen the most wondrous scene.

Xue Wei had a good guess as to why. This man was a demon, it was evident that he would not be a friendly person, but right now, he was overly happy and gentle towards a woman.

Xue Wei did not know about their past together, but it was clear they knew each other somehow, and he slowly went back to cultivating.

After they had spoken together for some time, the King walked to the middle of the deck, the demon casually following behind her, towering above her as a gentle giant, protecting her and sheltering her from everything that might be dangerous.

”This is Tao Wu,” she introduced. ”He is known as the Fierce Demon, and he is a pirate leader here in the Sea of the Enchanted.”

She paused for a bit, wondering how to continue. ”I met him some years ago when he was injured and helped to nurse him back to health, so he feels obliged to assist us as well.”

She looked around, but no one pointed fingers or made fun of her, so she quickly continued, ”He has offered to take us to the closest island with a busy port town, a place where crouching tigers and hidden dragons lives.”

When hearing that there was another port, the crew was slightly nervous, but the King quickly soothed their worried nerves, ”although this place is dangerous, as it is the home for all pirates in the Sea of the Enchanted, it is also a good place to find treasures and stock up on necessities.”
