Chapter 654: Chapter 502: The Mystery of the Body

Feng Ming smiled at Lei Leian and shook her head, "You’re still too young, darling. Some things aren’t as simple as you think. Both sides fully understand each other, we just...we each take what we need. If we break this delicate balance, it won’t be good for anyone..." She hesitated a moment before continuing, "And there is one thing he was right about. In such a conflict they are indeed helpless. Lei Leian, remember, we are only using them. You should not think of them as family."

Lei Leian seemed to understand somewhat, but still felt a weight on her heart. However, recalling that even her father had to reconcile with the Ten Pillar Gods of the Maya Clan, she couldn’t help but infer that these forces were all seeking a kind of balance.

"Let’s go, Lei Leian. Let’s return to the ’Ocean Main City’ for now. Once the ’Sky Main City’ has been repaired, you will remain its master." As Feng Ming held Lei Leian’s hand, Lei Leian gave a bitter smile, remarking: "Master of the Sky Main City... Now I understand...I am actually nothing. Aunt, I also need to become stronger."

A smile finally appeared on Feng Ming’s face. "Lei Leian, I don’t see the recent events as entirely a bad thing. At least you have come to realize the importance of power."

It seemed that Lei Leian had made a resolution. She needed to become stronger. She bit her lip and looked at Su Yu, saying, "Su Yu, I have to go. Next time we meet, I’ll be an eighth stage Black Iron Warrior. You... make sure to eat well and grow up quickly."

As she spoke, she squatted down and then hugged Su Yu tightly, not caring about the eyes of the people around her. She gave Su Yu a kiss on the cheek.

Su Yu was dumbfounded. Even though his body was that of a child, his soul was still an adult’s. Everyone knew he was Su Yu, and Lei Leian had dared to kiss him in front of the public. That was extraordinarily daring. Lei Leian’s face turned slightly red. She then let go of Su Yu, waved goodbye to him, and Feng Ming was leading her away. She called out: "Su Yu, until we meet again," before turning into a ray of light with a strong glow emanating from her scepter. The two women quickly disappeared into Ice City, clearly returning to the ’Ocean Main City’.

Making eye contact with Lei Leian just as she kissed Su Yu in front of everyone, Ma Ziye seemed to intuitively understand that Lei Leian was subtly declaring Su Yu as her own in front of everyone.

The woman next to her, Su Yun, scoffed: "What a cunning woman. She’s foolish if she thinks this will work."

But something in Ma Ziye understood why Lei Leian and Su Yu’s relationship had progressed so quickly. It was because Lei Leian was courageous while Su Yu tended to be passive about his feelings. Unfortunately, Ma Ziye was just as passive, which was why there hadn’t been any progress between her and Su Yu.

Appreciating this, Ma Ziye nodded to herself. She began to understand that she could not afford to wait passively any longer.

After Lei Leian and Feng Ming left, Su Yu called the Crowned Woman over to prepare for their departure.

For Su Yu and the others, the Skeleton Ice City, where the Netherworld people loved to stay, was not a suitable place for them. The city was full of ice sculptures, and the climate was cold. They could bear it for a day or two, but not for an extended period of time.

The Crowned Woman was the ruler of the Skeleton Ice City, but she always believed that Su Yu was the modern God of Netherworld. Naturally, she obeyed Su Yu’s orders. She once again activated the Skeleton Ice City, which slowly rose into the sky, carrying everyone towards the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

"City Lord, with the Black Iron City destroyed, we might as well temporarily stay in Peach Blossom Town," said Jin Fuhua, remembering how Black Iron City had been nearly destroyed by the Five Holy Envoys. He suggested that they temporarily stay in Peach Blossom Town.

As a former leader of the town, Jin Fuhua still held deep affection for Peach Blossom Town. After Su Yu became the City Lord of Black Iron City, Jin Fuhua was invited to serve as the third deputy City Lord, and Peach Blossom Town was entrusted to Cai Hanbin and his wife.

Su Yu nodded his agreement. They were not accustomed to living in Skeleton Ice City and Black Iron City was in ruins. Staying in the Peach Blossom Town for the time being seemed like a good idea.

Skeleton Ice City slowly landed not far from Peach Blossom Town. The sight of the hovering city had already attracted the attention of many in Peach Blossom Town — some were curious, others shocked or frightened. Among them was Cai Hanbin and his wife, who received the news and became anxious as they had no knowledge of the origin of the Skeleton Ice City. They were filled with panic upon hearing that a gigantic ice city was descending from the sky.

Aside from the Crowned Woman and her subordinates, the residents of the Skeleton Ice City were Su Yu and the other Black Iron City warriors. After the battle with the Five Holy Envoys, they suffered catastrophic losses, and now only about a thousand Black Iron Warriors remained.

Su Yu, the Wooden Man, Ouyang Nuo, Jiang Hai, Jin Fuhua, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Zhao Shichang, Su Yun, Li Dong, Lei Rui, Gu Lingshuang, Ren Honglin, Fang Jiong, Kou Xiaowei, Cao Xiaoyu, Liu Zheng, and Doudou bid farewell to the Crowned Woman and left the Skeleton Ice City. The Crowned Woman, continuing to follow Su Yu’s orders, took the Skeleton Ice City and returned to the vast ocean in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. She had not only adapted to the environment there, but she still had the mission of observing the dormant Eskimos.

Su Yu and his team, leading a thousand warriors, watched as the "Skeleton Ice City" soared into the sky and gradually disappeared. The leaders of "Peach Blossom Town", Cai Hanbin and Zhao Xiaoya, had already come forward to welcome them. On recognizing them as people from "Black Iron City", they were both surprised and delighted.

The calamity that befell the "Black Iron City" was vaguely known to them, but of course, they were not clear about all the details behind the scene. However, seeing Su Yu leading more than a thousand warriors here, they instinctively felt overjoyed.

Cai Hanbin greets them with respectful salutations, "Lord Su..." but then he pauses, unable to spot Su Yu in the crowd. Instead, he sees a child being revered by the crowd like a star in the center, leaving him quite confused.

Jin Fuhua introduces with a smile, "Hanbin, this is Lord Su."

Cai Hanbin immediately understood that something must have happened to Su Yu. But having reached his level of understanding, he naturally did not wish to probe further. He immediately bowed in respect, Su Yu asked him to rise, waved off his formalities, and then pointed to the thousand warriors behind him, "The ’Black Iron City’ is temporarily destroyed and cannot house people. We intend to stay here for a few days. Can you arrange some accommodation for these people? Is it going to pose any problem?"

Cai Hanbin says with a smile, "Not at all!" He immediately turned to give orders to the people behind him. Then, accompanied by Su Yu and the most important members of the "Black Iron City", he grandly entered the "Peach Blossom Town" and went to his residence. Where to house the thousand warriors was, of course, a separate matter.

Accommodating a sudden influx of thousands of people was overwhelming even for Cai Hanbin. Fortunately, "Peach Blossom Town" has ample housing. Room for thousands wouldn’t pose a problem, let alone only a thousand.

Su Yu had strict orders. No one was to create any trouble while living in "Peach Blossom Town", because with the sudden appearance of a thousand people, without restraint, it would be easy for a conflict with the original residents of "Peach Blossom Town" to arise.

Those under Jin Fuhua, originally from "Peach Blossom Town", were especially excited and felt a sense of homecoming on their return.

Cai Hanbin wanted to hold a grand banquet to welcome Su Yu and the others, but Su Yu explicitly forbade it. Given the numerous deaths during the battle that day at "Black Iron City", neither the mood nor the situation felt right for celebration.

When Jin Fuhua returned to "Peach Blossom Town", he was visibly nostalgic. Accompanied by Cai Hanbin and others, he toured around the town, looking at its every nook and cranny. Much of his hard work had been dedicated to this place and he couldn’t help but feel sentimental.

With him was also the "Bat King" Yang Shenghua. Seeing the empty space that was previously filled by "Shield King" Wang Yiping left him somber.

"Shield King" Wang Yiping, who had always been one of Jin Fuhua’s right-hand men, had died in the last battle.

Su Yu, preferring peace and quiet, chose to live in a separate backyard in Cai Hanbin’s residence. Apart from Ada and the wooden man, no one else was allowed to disturb him.

Half a year was the time he had agreed upon with the Maya Clan. It was the time when he and the Maya Clan would decide their fates. But at the moment, his power was far from that of the Nine Pillars of the Maya Gods.

Su Yu sat cross-legged. His reasons for seeking out the wooden man were to understand his own body better. This body was incredibly peculiar. Su Yu could faintly perceive a will. Due to this will, he had grown rapidly when he wanted to, even evolving into a Zero-Level Black Iron Warrior when he wished.

Of course, this will seemed weak for now. At least, when he had wished to grow, he had expected to become an adult in an instant, but in reality, he had only grown into a small child of five or six years old.

Su Yu sought out the wooden man to understand the existence of the flesh cocoon and the world from where his reincarnation originated. Knowing more about these things would aid him in understanding his body better.

Even though he now possessed the Golden Blood, the Dark Heart, the Netherworld Skull, and the Giant Blue God, all these combined might still not be enough to overcome a single Maya God. So now, the only thing he could rely on was his body. (To be continued. If you wish to find out what happens next, please visit www.qidian.com.
