Chapter 203 - Asking for Permission (2/2)

While she had a lithe build, she was a tad bit shorter than Lu Xuan after all.

But then again, Lin Miaoyi simply tied a good-looking knot on the oversized shirt around her midsection, making her fair, supple abdomen somewhat visible. It was quite an alluring sight to behold.

Although she was just in normal clothing, she looked rather out-of-the-ordinary when she wore them.

“Thanks for being here, you two. I’d have probably ended up dead today if not for you.” Lin Miaoyi spoke of her predicament frankly, not bothering to hide anything.

“Just a piece of cake. Don’t mention it,” Lu Xuan replied.

“But then again, how did you two get into Penglai Island and end up having people on your tails, by the way?”

Lin Miaoyi frowned and replied, “We thought the place would be this dangerous. It looks like all the other cultivators from other countries have reached an agreement to take out all cultivators from Huaxia. So, we got ambushed as soon as we got in. It wasn’t just us. Every other Huaxian cultivator was ambushed as well.”

Lu Xuan continued, “Do you have any idea where the Dragon and Ming Yueyao are at the moment?”

Lin Miaoyi then answered, “Chief Dragon and Chief Ming? I’ve no idea myself, but I’ve heard Adam bring their names up. It looks like they had not even been able to find Chief Dragon and Chief Ming. But then again, their safety is not the most pressing problem at the moment.

“Adam and the others are heading towards the center of the island as we speak, intending to get their hands on that peach tree. From what I can tell, Adam is not alone. Even Saint Peter from the European Union and many others from a variety of countries are gathered over there. If both Chief Dragon and Chief Ming are alright, they would most probably head for the center as well. If we were to find them at the moment, our best shot is to get to the center as well.”

Lu Xuan pondered about it as he listened to her analysis. If what she said proved correct, then both the Dragon and Ming Yueyao had most probably shaken off their pursuers at the moment. They were either all patched up or were still healing their injuries at the moment.

One way or another, they were probably not in a dire state at the moment. Both of them were Invincible Vajras after all, and there was no way fighters of their level would have been so easily done for. So long as they were able to shake off their pursuers, their physicality was such that getting completely healed was but a matter of time.

If that were to be the case, then the trio should be heading to the center of the island at the moment. They were definitely unable to afford to have that peach tree fall into foreign hands.

“You’re right. In that case, we should join in the fun over there.”

Lu Xuan flashed a faint smile.

“The Peach Tree of Immortality is something that belongs to Huaxia. Those damned foreigners better ask for my permission if they wanna take the tree away.”

Lu Xuan knew that other than feuds and grudges of the past, it was also due to the fact that Huaxians had a natural claim to the emergence of a Huaxian treasure that time that the Huaxian cultivators were being ganged up on by cultivators from all over the world. It was simply imperative to first kick the natural claimant of the treasure out before the foreigners were able to divide the loot among themselves.

“Yeah, I wanna see just how capable those people are with my own eyes.”

Lu Shanshan looked very agitated. It was obvious that she was very eager to get to know those figures who were known throughout the world.

“Shanshan, you’re not telling me that…” Lin Miaoyi just discovered that something was different with Lu Shanshan. The latter was emanating very frightening aura all over here, which was so thick that it surprised the former.

She was shocked to find out that Lu Shanshan had already made a breakthrough into the Invincible Vajra Level. It was especially noteworthy, given how she had not been a Deity Level fighter for long.

However, she recalled the fact that Lu Shanshan was Lu Xuan’s sister, and everything no longer felt out of place. It was just natural for a biological sister of a monster to be a monster as well, after all.

“Oh, right, Sister Lin, I’m now an Invincible Vajra, and I’ve just killed an Invincible Vajra earlier. I’m really something, no?”

She boasted her achievements gleefully, apparently having forgotten all about the predicament she was in before. If it had not been for Lu Xuan appearing in the nick of time, she would have most probably died by the hands of those fighters from the Amaterasu-gumi.

Lin Miaoyi’s expression returned to normal before long and continued with a smile, “Congratulations. You’re now one of the best of the best, and your brother can no longer lock you up, I guess.”

Lu Xuan looked exasperated, feeling puzzled about the comment, as he had never forbidden Lu Shanshan from going out whatsoever.

“No time for chatter now. We need to go check things out at the center of the island.”
