Ch245 - Aboard the Cruise Ship

The Zhou family’s cruise ship was not traveling too fast. When their ship approached the broken boat, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu had already cleaned up all the Blood-striped Shellfishes on the deck, and Liu Mufeng had also put away all the blood pearls.

Seeing a ship coming, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were very happy. The two flew directly to the Zhou family’s ship. Jiang Xu waved and collected their wrecked boat.

“Is there something wrong with the two Fellow Daoists?” Walking out of the cabin, the Zhou Brothers looked at the plainly dressed Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu.

“Two Fellow Daoists, our boat has broken down and cannot be used. May I ask, where are you going? I wonder if it is convenient for the two Fellow Daoists to give us a ride?” Looking at the Brothers of the Zhou family, Liu Mufeng asked.

“Oh, we’re going to Jiang City. Are Fellow Daoists going to Jiang City too?” Zhou Qian asked.

“Yes, we are also planning to go to Jiang City. Then I would like to trouble the two Fellow Daoists to give us a ride. This is for the two Fellow Daoists.” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng took out two pills and handed them to Zhou Qian.

After receiving the pill bottle, Zhou Qian opened it and saw that it was actually two fifth-level Rejuvenation Pills. “Fellow Daoist, isn’t this gift too expensive for just a ride?” A low-grade fifth-level Rejuvenation Pill would cost 30,000 spirit stones. And what the other party gave were top-grade pills.

“As it should be. This Daoist’s name is Dong Feipeng and this is my Daoist Companion Song Mo. I don’t know what to call the two Fellow Daoists?” Liu Mufeng asked.

“Oh, my name is Zhou Qian, and this is my Third Younger Brother Zhou Kun. We are from Xiang City. My Elder Brother is the Lord of Xiang City—Zhou Zhen.” Looking at the two visitors on their ship, Zhou Qian introduced themselves.

“Oh, it turned out to be two Fellow Daoists Zhou. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you!”It turned out to be Zhou Xianglan’s two Uncles.

“Fellow Daoist Dong, you are welcome. My two Nieces on the boat are unmarried cultivators. They are staying in the cabin at the bow. If the two Fellow Daoists don’t mind, you can stay in the cabin at the stern.” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Zhou Qian explained.

“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou, don’t worry, we won’t wander around to disturb the two Nieces.” Liu Mufeng assured him.

“Okay then, let my Brother take you there.” Zhou Qian looked at Zhou Kun after saying that.

“Okay, thank you two Fellow Daoists!” Nodding, Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu followed Zhou Kun to the cabin at the stern.

The Zhou’s cruise ship was a fifth-level magic artifact, with a very gorgeous appearance and a very accommodating interior. Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were brought into a very spacious cabin.

“Two friends, you can stay here. If you need anything, you can find me and my Second Brother.” Zhou Kun said with a smile.

“Tch, that Zhou Qian is really too much. Are his Nieces some fairies? He seems to think that everyone will fall in love with his Nieces so he mentioned them specially.” Speaking of this, Jiang Xu curled his lips in disdain.

“It is good, they told us in advance, it’s for our own good. Knowing that there are female cultivators on board, we should avoid them more. After all, we are on their ship, we don’t want to offend them.” Liu Mufeng replied wryly. He andXiaoXu had been killing sea demon beasts and pirates at sea for thirty-five years, and the fifth-level magic artifact given toXiao Xu by the Elders of the sect accompanied them in the battle for thirty-five years, and finally exhausted of its power. If Xiaoyuan hadn’t brought the Golden Spirit Insects to repair the bottom of the boat more than a dozen times, the boat would have been ruined long ago and could not have made it through today.

“No, those pirate ships were too big for us to travel. Moreover, we are going to Jiang City. If we go there on a pirate ship, we would have been regarded as pirates.” Shaking his head, Liu Mufeng expressed his disapproval.

“En, that’s true.” Pirate ships had pirate logo totems on them, which was indeed a bit troublesome.

“When we get to Jiang City, we can find a craftsman and sell those six ships. They can be exchanged for spirit stones.” After thirty-five years of living at sea, both Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu were now strapped for cash, and there were not many spirit stones left.

“En,that’s fine.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed.

“Recently we’ve been floating on the sea, and we haven’t practiced or rested well. Are you tired?” Holding his lover’s hand, Liu Mufeng asked softly.

“En, a little bit.” Nodding, Jiang Xu replied.

“Do you want to take a hot bath?” As he spoke, Liu Mufeng took out an ugly bathtub. This bathtub was made by Liu Mufeng using the flame stones he found in Huorong City and the bones of some fire-type demon beasts, and he let Xiaoyuan and other Golden Spirit Insects work together to refine it. Just put water in it and it would automatically heat up, making it very convenient for travelers like them.

“Okay.” Nodding, Jiang Xu agreed. Taking a bath with spiritual water was already a very comfortable thing, but taking a bath with warm spiritual water was even more comfortable.

After putting half a bucket of spiritual water in the bathtub, Liu Mufeng took out some spiritual plants suitable for relieving fatigue and sprinkled them in the bathtub.

“Oh yeah!” Nodding, Jiang Xu waved his hand, and the clothes on his body flew directly onto the hanger, while his whole person also fell into the tub.

“You’re so fast! You won’t even give me a chance to peek.” Smiling, Liu Mufeng walked over and stood behind his lover, putting his hands on Jiang Xu’s shoulders and slowly kneading his muscles.

“We are already an old couple, what’s there to peek at?” Jiang Xu said helplessly as he glanced at his lover over his shoulders.

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng leaned over and kissed his dearest on the cheek. “I’ll never get tired of watching you.”

“Don’t make trouble, let’s be serious. Is that Mechanism Island going to appear soon? Shouldn’t we also get ready?” Jiang Xu asked.

“Don’t worry, there are still three months. With the speed of this boat, we can reach Jiang City in one month. After arriving in Jiang City, we can just buy a batch of magic talismans. As for magic weapons, Xiaoyuan has already prepared them for us.” There were a lot of them. “As for the medicinal pills, I have a lot stocked up with me, and besides for our own use, we can sell a lot of them in exchange for some spirit stones.” Liu Mufeng explained patiently to his wife.

“What about the array disks? Didn’t you say that the place on the island is very dangerous? Should we prepare some array disks?” Jiang Xu asked.

“En, we can prepare some fifth-level array disks.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng agreed.

“What about the other items? Don’t you need to prepare?”

Hearing this, Liu Mufeng thought about it. “It’s best to buy two low-level demon beasts and take them with you for exploring the way.”

“Exploring the way?” Hearing this, Jiang Xu couldn’t help blinking in confusion.

“Yes, the cultivators of the Tianyan Clan are best at traps. People also call this island the Island of Traps, therefore, there must be many traps on the Mechanism Island. If you want to avoid danger, the best way is to find the way around them.” In the original book, the hero and his team had used demon beasts to find their way.

“Then, what kind of demon beasts are more suitable?”

“Small animals such as second-level rabbits, cats, and dogs are fine. At that time, we can buy a few more, and we can use them as rations for Xiaoyuan when they die.” Liu Mufeng explained.

“Okay, when we get to Jiang City, we’ll go pick demon beasts.”

“In the past thirty-five years, your strength has accumulated very well, and it has become more and more refined. At this speed, when we leave the Mechanism Island, you will be ready to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm.” Liu Mufeng said happily.

Hearing this, Jiang Xu smiled wryly. “How can it be so easy to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm?”

“Don’t worry, isn’t there a Mechanism Island? We can look for opportunities, and if we find opportunities, we can naturally help you advance smoothly.” Liu Mufeng smiled.

As long as he helpedXiaoXu get the opportunities of the male protagonist, it would not be difficult for him to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm. The second heroine died before meeting the male protagonist. The first heroine and the third heroine were also dead. Now there was only the male protagonist left in the male protagonist’s team. Thinking about the situation now, the male protagonist would not be able to come to the Shengtian Continent, let alone go to the Mechanism Island.

The teleportation array had already been destroyed by him. Liu Mufeng thought that the possibility that the hero would come to the Shengtian Continent and enter the Mechanism Island was one in a thousand. The odds were very, very slim.

“I hope I can find an opportunity to advance to the Spiritual Profound Realm. If my strength is stronger, we won’t have to hide anymore and we can go back to our sect.” Saying that, Jiang Xu sighed softly.

Looking at his lover’s frowning face, Liu Mufeng smiled. “Why? Do you miss your Master?”

“En, I miss him. Although he always likes to call me a little bastard, Master is really kind to me, and he loves me very much. Without him, my swordsmanship would not have improved so fast.”Apart from Mufeng, Master was the only person who sincerely treated me well, just like my Father, who treated me wholeheartedly and never asked me to reciprocate.

“En, in fact, your Master is a good person. He is just a paper tiger. He looks fierce on the surface and always looks like he doesn’t like anyone, but he still has you in his heart. Every time we get into trouble, he silently helps us clean up the mess.” Liu Mufeng smiled.

“Hey, we got into trouble again this time, he must be very worried about us. And your Master, your Master is also very kind to you, he will worry about you too.” Jiang Xu sighed faintly.

“En, Master will definitely worry about me too.” Thinking of his Master, Liu Mufeng also had some concerns in his heart. In his previous life, he was an orphan, and in this life, he had no Father or Mother and was almost the same as an orphan. He had lived two lifetimes. It was really not easy to meet an Elder who loved him as much as Master.

“I hope your Master and my Master are safe and sound. When we go back to the Zunhuang Continent and return to the sect, I will honor Master well and stop scolding him as a stinky old man. Brew more wine for him and make him good food.” Thinking of that smelly old man, Jiang Xu was happy.

“You! This is not the first time you have said something like this.” Every time after quarreling with Xuanyuan Chen,XiaoXu would always say that he would not quarrel with Master in the future and that he should be filial to Master. And then the next time, the two would quarrel and fight again. As a result,XiaoXu would be injured by Xuanyuan Chen again, and thenXiaoXu would begin to regret again when he was healing. During those years in the sect, this had become an endless loop, it happened every time.

“I, I won’t quarrel with him in the future, I promise.” Looking at his man, Jiang Xu vowed.

“En, if you say so.” Nodding, Liu Mufeng smiled as he said in his heart:Maybe next time we meet your Master again you will quarrel and fight again.
