Chapter 1046 - 1046 1032 Xiyue Island

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1032: Xiyue Island Chapter 1046: Chapter 1032: Xiyue Island Hai Jingtian rushed in, moving as he spoke, “They’ve already left.”

“Back to Immortal Medicine Island?” Qiandu Xiang was still somewhat anxious, unsure whether they could find the Key Box after Si Nanyu’s death, especially since the map was still in his possession.

Hai Jingtian shook his head and said, “No, they are heading eastward.” Immortal Medicine Island lay to the north, while Xiyue Island was to the east.

Qiandu Xiang stood up, looking at Hai Jingtian with a hint of surprise, “That is to say, they haven’t lost track of the Key Box due to Si Nanyu’s death; they’ve found the Key Box.”

“That should be the case, but where could this girl have gotten the map from?” Hai Jingtian asked with some astonishment.

“It’s not difficult; my Junior Sister has always had a good memory. Even though I snatched the map away, she must have memorized it by heart long ago.” Qiandu Xiang was also worried that they might abandon the Key Box after Si Nanyu’s death.

“They are seeking Xiyue Island,” Hai Jingtian concluded.

“Without the Sacred Spirit Stone’s aid, they won’t be able to take their revenge; even if they join forces with Immortal Medicine Sect, they cannot succeed.” Everything was unfolding just as he had anticipated, following the second route he had predicted from the beginning.

“Then we’ll follow them to find Xiyue Island.”

“Of course, we’ll let them lead us to Xiyue Island first,” exclaimed Qiandu Xiang, his disappointment turning into joy.

“I’ll go ready the crew, preparing to set sail,” Hai Jingtian said.

“Mm, have Baili He stay behind.” Qiandu Xiang would not miss such a prime opportunity; he had long prepared the ship, ready to depart at any moment.

Hai Jingtian said, “The Sacred Spirit Stone cannot fall into their hands.”

“They certainly can’t have it. My Junior Sister has hated me for a long time now. If she gets the Sacred Spirit Stone, she will surely come after me for vengeance, but I won’t give them the chance,” Qiandu Xiang asserted confidently.

“Nangong Yao will help them. Should we go to Peach Blossom Manor to capture that girl?”

That would surely come at a great cost, possibly even provoking the ire of the Thirty-Six Islands. The master of Peach Blossom Manor, Ying Luoxue, had good relations with most of the Island Masters of the Thirty-Six Islands, and disturbing her might provoke widespread anger. Moreover, that girl might no longer be in the manor. Qiandu Xiang shook his head and said, “No need, the Sacred Spirit Stone is what’s most important right now.”

“Understood. I’ll call the others right away.”

“Alright, have that disgraceful brother of mine come as well.” Qiandu Ao, no matter how incompetent, was still his brother. When he was like a beggar on the streets, bullied by others, it was his brother who had taken care of him. Although his brother had fallen into decadence over the years, he was still his brother.

Hearing this, Hai Jingtian took his leave.

Soon Wan Liyun also learned of Qiandu Xiang’s intention to act and quickly found Shao Hengjiang. Shao Hengjiang was in his room, waiting, uncertain whether Si Nanyu’s death would affect the search for the Sacred Spirit Stone. Now, with Qiandu Xiang conducting a city-wide manhunt, he was worried they would come searching this way.

The message from Ban Hong had just arrived.

Wan Liyun said, “Senior Brother, it seems Ouyang Yue and the others have indeed found the Key Box. They are setting out to find the Sacred Spirit Stone.”

“Are you certain there’s no mistake?” Shao Hengjiang stood up, still somewhat disbelieving.

Wan Liyun replied, “Although there’s no confirmation, it’s been found out that Ouyang Yue and the people from Immortal Medicine Sect have gone eastward instead of heading north back to Immortal Medicine Island.”

“That means Nangong Yao has decided to help Ouyang Yue search for the Sacred Spirit Stone, to use it against Qiandu Xiang.”

After hearing this, Wan Liyun murmured, “If it hadn’t been for that masked youngster who intervened yesterday, they might not have been able to escape. Without the help of the Sacred Spirit Stone, they are no match for Qiandu Xiang.”

Shao Hengjiang smiled faintly and said, “Let’s prepare to set sail. Remember, keep an eye on Qiandu Xiang’s ships but don’t get too close.”

“Don’t worry, with Ban Hong’s help, we won’t let them escape,” Wan Liyun said confidently.

Seeing the opportunity, Shao Hengjiang couldn’t help feeling excited. This was a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

The crew below were throwing ropes.

Ye Chen gazed absent-mindedly at the sea’s surface, still standing at the entrance to the chicken and duck cabin. Li Mo ran in, saying, “The ship’s about to depart.”

Ye Chen noticed as well, taking the food given to him, his stomach already growling loudly.

“They must not be heading back to Iron Ten Thousand Island.”

The Black Demonic Spirit began to grumble again, “Just wait until we reach Iron Ten Thousand Island, and then you can spend your days with those men.”

“But I have you guys to accompany me, don’t I!” Ye Chen said.

Li Mo glanced below; the ship was indeed moving slowly, apparently really about to leave.

Ye Chen pondered in his heart, surely the heavens wouldn’t be so cruel to him.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, seemingly approaching. The Black Demonic Spirit grew nervous and quickly hid behind the stacks of straw.

Nangong Yan finally managed to sneak aboard, but the ship had already started moving, pulling away from the coast. She straightened her clothes, still disguised as a man. Luckily, she had worked on this ship before, or she would not have been able to board. However, she was concerned that she might have been seeing things; if that wasn’t Li Mo she had seen, she was on a pirate ship now with no chance of getting off.

She carefully crept in like a guilty little burglar.

Ye Chen hid in the straw, watching her.

Li Mo said, “It seems to be that girl from the Cangqiong.

Ye Chen, of course, recognized her. That girl was really obstinate. Why had she come to the Xiaoyao again? She couldn’t be here looking for him, could she?

“Ye Chen, are you there?”

“Ah, they really are looking for him.” Ye Chen grabbed a handful of grass and covered himself with it.

Nangong Yan thought it was some monster at first and was about to scream for her mother, but she quickly realized that it wasn’t a monster.

The two guys over there were laughing hilariously.

“What are you doing?” Nangong Yan shouted, her hair full of straw.

“I want to ask you, what do you want to do? Haven’t you gotten over your crush on me?” Ye Chen asked.

Li Mo walked out to see if there were any other people around.

“Nonsense, who would have a crush on you, don’t flatter yourself.”

“Then tell me, I finally got rid of you, so why did you come back to the Saunterer?” At this moment, the ship had set sail.

“Can’t I just want to follow them in search of Xiyue Island?”

Ye Chen was taken aback and asked, “Nonsense, how do you know they’re looking for Xiyue Island?”

Nangong Yan really didn’t know how to explain herself, the more she tried to explain, the less clear it became, so she said, “My dad and Ouyang Yue ditched me in search of Xiyue Island, I didn’t want to go back to Immortal Medicine Island. I just saw Li Mo, and I thought you might still be on the Saunterer, so I brought you some food, worried you would be lonely, and came to keep you company.” She handed over the food as she spoke.

“Heh, afraid I’d be lonely? You’re the one who’s lonely and need someone to keep you company!” Ye Chen shook his head and said, “You’re too bold, the last incident didn’t teach you a lesson.”

“It’s no big deal, I already told Qi Xue that I’m with you.”

“What, you didn’t tell them we eloped, did you? If you get into trouble later, they’ll all come looking for me.”

Nangong Yan was very happy inside. What if she had made a wrong guess? Smiling, she said, “Then don’t let me get into trouble.”

“Heh, I’m not your butler, you really think I’m a servant of yours.”

Nangong Yan changed the subject and said, “The way you saved Ouyang Yue, Junior Sister, was impressive. They said without you, Ouyang Yue and my dad might not have made it out.” As she spoke, she patted his shoulder and found a spot to sit down.

The Black Demonic Spirit and the Red Demonic Spirit smelled the food and flew out with a whoosh.

“I just thought it would be such a waste for someone so stunning to die like that, so I stepped in to save her,” said Ye Chen, lying on his side in the straw. “By the way, that girl must be really upset, right?”

Hungry herself, Nangong Yan tore off a chicken leg and said, “I haven’t seen her, but she should be very upset. Brother Si Nanyu is gone just like that, who wouldn’t be?”

“That means there’s a chance for me too.”

Nangong Yan glared at him and shouted, “Don’t gloat over a disaster, it’s extremely annoying.” She furiously gnawed on the roasted chicken leg.

“Hey, no one wanted this to happen, but since it did, what can you do? Now that it’s happened, she needs to quickly start a new relationship.”

“Didn’t you say you already had someone you liked?”

Ye Chen explained, “Right, back in the Central Plains, I indeed have someone I like. But here in the South Sea, I don’t have anyone I like.”

Surprised, Nangong Yan asked, “You’re from Central Plains?”

“Right.”

“Why did you get on the Saunterer again? Are you planning to follow Shao Hengjiang in search of the Sacred Spirit Stone?” She didn’t know if his previous statement was true or false, but she took it seriously nonetheless.

“Yeah, I really am planning to tag along with that old geezer.”

“Do you know where the Saunterer is heading?”

“I don’t know.”

“You boarded without knowing?”

“You boarded, too!”

Nangong Yan said, “Last night, my dad and Ouyang Yue left Sacred Spirit Island, saying they were going to find Xiyue Island. They wanted to send me back to Immortal Medicine Island, but I didn’t want to go back.”

Ye Chen asked, “Is the Sacred Spirit Stone on Xiyue Island?”

“Mhm.”

“Which direction is Xiyue Island?” asked Ye Chen offhandedly.

“To the east.”

Ye Chen glanced outside; this ship seemed to be heading east as well.

“Are you really going to find the Sacred Spirit Stone? You weren’t lying to me before, were you?”

The talkative Black Demonic Spirit said, “Who said he was lying to you? We’re indeed in search of the Sacred Spirit Stone, otherwise, we wouldn’t come to this godforsaken place.”
