282 Aya, Do You Value Your Lover over Your Friend (1/2)

The days on the sea were free and comfortable.

According to the scheduled voyage, Wang Lu and the others would be on the sea for about one month before arriving at the harbor on the Western Continent. This was already quite fast. If there was no navigation from Ayun of Sea-Tribe in order to ensure safety, the fleet would likely spend more time on the ocean to find a safe route.

Most of their time on the ocean was spent in leisure. After leaving Nine Regions, the surrounding spiritual energy gradually changed, which made it difficult to support the several people’s immortal cultivation need. Although it didn’t cause them to lose their cultivation base, it did make it difficult to meditate to improve their cultivation. Thus, in addition to the occasional simple practice of swordsmanship, they spent most of their time in leisure.

Life on the sea was very new for several of them. And considering that it was highly likely that they would face arduous tests after arriving at the Western Continent, they might as well take this opportunity to relax their body and mind. Among them, Liu Li was the happiest. Since childhood, she grew up on the Spirit Sword Mountain in the Blue River Region, thus has never seen the sea. And for her simple mind, not only the Endless Sea was not boring, but it also contained endless fun. Everyday, they would see her running around on the deck, and sometimes flying on her sword to brave the winds and waves not far away from the fleet. As for Bai Shixuan and Quan Zouhua, most of the time they spent their days sleeping in their respective room. Perhaps the body of immortal beast could not adapt to the change in the continent law as fast as a human, so it took some time for them to recuperate.

As for Aya, she has a strong interest in Ayun of Sea-Tribe. Oftentimes, she would take the initiative to strike up a conversation, inquiring about all kinds of stories and anecdotes about Sea-Tribe people. Unfortunately, Ayun’s reaction was very cold. Most of the time, she would just close herself inside her room. When occasionally she came out for fresh air, she remained cold and indifferent to the others.

After being rebuffed for several times, Aya tried to suppress her curiosity with her will, but eventually, it was unbearable to her, which made her particularly uncomfortable. From the side, Wang Lu looked at her with interest, shook his head and then said to her, ”You’re asking the wrong way, no wonder she doesn’t respond to your questions.”

Aya earnestly recalled, ”Did I ever ask in any impolite way? I’m sorry, I don’t know much about the Sea-Tribe.”

Wang Lu said, ”I will give you a demonstration so you will know the difference.”

Then, Wang Lu and Aya came to Ayun’s cabin and gently knocked on the door. After opening the door, the Sea-Tribe girl stood at the door while coldly looking at Wang Lu, with eyes asking what do you want.

Wang Lu said with a smile, ”I want to ask you some questions. One answer is worth one hundred spirit stones. Are you interested?”

Ayun thought for a moment, stood aside and invited them to the room, ”Please come in.”

Outside the room, Aya didn’t know whether to laugh or cry while inwardly asking herself whether she should feel depressed or be at awe.

Wang Lu threw a mustard seed bag filled with thousands of spirit stones to Aya. ”Now you can ask her whatever you want. I’m going to look for air on the deck.”

A few hours later, Aya brought back the completely empty mustard seed bag to the deck and approached Wang Lu.

”Thank you.”

”Your welcome.”

The two people stood silently on the deck for a while before Aya smiled and asked, ”Do you know a lot about Sea-Tribe people?”

Wang Lu shrugged. ”How could I? This is the first time I saw a living Sea-Tribe person.”

Aya asked, ”So, you are very good at judging a person?”

Wang Lu nodded. ”Judging a person? Not bad.” Then he looked at Aya and said, ”A cup, am I right?”

”…”

Were it not that her state was still unstable, Aya would’ve certainly fought it out with him.

Nevertheless, Aya was still furious. Her face was unusually gloomy, and hidden underneath, a storm was brewing. However, at this time, Aya suddenly seemed surprised. ”Huh!?”

While she was still puzzled, a barefooted girl ran towards the deck, panting, with confused and uncertain complexion.

Wang Lu reached out and greeted her, ”Ayun?”

However, Ayun completely ignored Wang Lu as she ran straight to the edge of the ship. Both of her hands were holding on the rail. Standing tiptoed to let her upper body as high as possible, she gazed at the faraway spot on the Endless Sea. From her expression, it was obvious that she was completely scared.

With his eyes, Wang Lu saw nothing out of the ordinary on the left side of the pilot vessel. Warm sunlight sprinkled on the sea as if they were a layer of gold.

”Is this… a strange urge to defecate?”

Aya took half a step forward and patted Wang Lu on the shoulder. She then said with a sinking voice, ”Be careful, something is coming.”

A moment later, even the fleet head Nie Yang also came up and anxiously asked, ”Ayun, what’s the matter? Is something happens?”

Ayun turned her head. With tears in his eyes, the young girl nodded, and then shook her head, but no one knew what it meant.

But then, even without her explanation, everyone realized that they were facing imminent disaster.

The calm sea rose without warning, as if a towering mountain had risen from a flat land. A shady black dome rose abruptly on one side of the ship’s rail. The next moment, the rising sea turned into a waterfall, falling along the edge of the surface of the dome, revealing a ferocious behemoth monster.

It was an incalculably large sea animal, with a round head, hard outer shell, and ash-black surface. Below the head was about ten tentacles, each was more than thirty meters long. Along with the appearance of the giant creature, its tentacles flapped on the surface of the sea and stirred up stormy waves, demonstrating its monstrous strength. One touch from one of its tentacles was enough to crash this pilot ship into pieces.

”My god… that’s one giant octopus!”

Seeing this amazing giant, Wang Lu was also shocked and involuntarily gulped down his saliva. Crisis could appear anywhere on the Endless Sea, was a sentence that he was already tired of hearing when he was still on the Nine Regions, but when he actually met with one, it was still a horrendous shock to him.

”Sea beast, it’s a sea beast!”

Before long, the whole fleet went into panic. Flustered, the sailors continued to scream out one after the other. The fleet quickly went out of control. The initially neatly arranged formation of ships quickly scattered.
