591: Zi Cheng and Ai Lin Arrive

Feng Wu didn’t what know Goffman was thinking. If she did, she would have had to seriously prove she was not a little girl who cried and screamed. Master said she was brave and brave people did not cry.

While Ming Xi and everyone else were exploring, a beautiful woman in purple stood at the bow of a boat looking toward the island. Her brows increasingly wrinkled as she watched black mist rise.

“Are you sure your arm is under that island?” Zi Cheng stood alone on the boat. Anyone who looked at her would think she was talking to herself.

The crew on board were used to the strange behavior of their beautiful employer. She would, from time to time, murmur strange words they didn’t understand, which would cause them to stop for a second to glance at her before going back to their work.

There was one boy who was different from everyone else. His eyes, which showed a glimmer of obsession, drifted to Zi Cheng often.

“Hey, what are you looking at? That lady is a magician. You had better put away any petty thoughts you have. Offending a magician is no joke.” An old crewman warned when he saw the look in the boy’s eyes. He could tell the boy was fascinated by the beautiful, noble magician that hired them.

“I have no foul intentions toward her. I just want to be Miss Zi Cheng’s follower.” The boy was in his early twenties. He was still very young but his lack of talent meant he could only be a crew member.

He had fallen in love instantly when he saw Zi Cheng for the first time three days ago. As long as he could stay by her side, if he could be her follower for the rest of his life, he would live happy without regrets.

“Hehe. . . ” The old crewman sneered. Another child who couldn’t see reality. “Be Miss Zi Cheng’s follower? Is your strength good? Is your talent high? You have nothing to give. Why would you want to be a follower of a great magician?”

The beautiful dream in the young man’s heart was ruthlessly extinguished by the old crewman. Yes, it was true. It wasn’t easy to be accepted as a magician’s follower. He was just an ordinary man with nothing. Why did he think that as long as he asked her, she would accept? Where did his confidence come from?

The young man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened them again, clarity showed through. “Thank you, I almost overstepped.”

The old crewman patted him on the shoulder and smiled a yellow, toothy smile. “It’s good that you figured it out.” He went back to work in the back cabin and ignored the young man after that.

Zi Cheng didn’t know there was a young man who was suppressing his admiration for her nearby. She was focused on discussing important matters with a demon.

The demon was an unknown creature she woke up when she was doing one of her tasks. Later on, the demon told her how he was being suppressed in the void inside the virtual world.

Zi Cheng was sympathetic to him. It turned out he was a supreme being in the demon world who was robbed of his position by a fallen demon god and forced to flee to the human world where he was beaten and killed by humans in the human world who said he was an invader. He didn’t even have a body anymore. His soul, the only part of him that survived, was sealed away in the virtual world.

After hearing his story, Zi Cheng promised to help him rebuild his physical body and let him return to the Demon realm.

She negotiated with her system for a container that could hold a soul. She explained the item to the demon ancestor and had him go inside. That was how she brought him out to the real world. The Demon Ancestor never expected a little girl, who didn’t even look that powerful, was able to bring him outside so easily.

He was probably another cheat the world consciousness gave to the heroine.

In the latter part of the story, the heroine became a goddess-like a figure admired by everyone on the continent, mostly because of the Demon Ancestor’s efforts.

If she hadn’t believed in the demon ancestor and released him into the world, he would never have been able to slaughter so many people in an effort to take over the human realm.

It was a pity that in the original story people didn’t know Zi Cheng was the cause of all the deaths and ended up idolizing and worshipping her as their savior.

This part of the story hadn’t happened yet though. As of right now, the Demon Ancestor had was in the real world but Zi Cheng was still in the process of rebuilding his body.

“I can feel it. One of my arms is under that island. I must have my arm back.” The voice was charmed with a trace of magic. One could just imagine the Demon Ancestor would be good looking.

There were many naturally ugly monsters in the demon clan, just as there were many naturally handsome and beautiful monsters.

As the first demon born in the world, the ancestor was naturally the latter. He would never have been able to rouse the heroine’s sympathy and have her promise to rebuild his body so he could return to the Demon realm if he was ugly.

“I understand. But how do we get it back? That small island is sealed off and outsiders can’t get in.”

“This king will go in person and get it back. This king’s arm. . . ”

On another boat, Ai Lin, our female villain, was also just arriving. She wasn’t there to keep the Demon Ancestor from getting his arm. With her abilities, she was perfectly aware she was not his opponent. It was guaranteed death.

She was there for Feng Wu’s brother, Juntian.

He had saved her from bleeding to death in the isolated mountain she landed on after she escaped from Blue Moon. He had been on a mission in the area when he found her.

Ai Lin recovered because of his treatments, so every time she saw him, she would feel guilty. She hadn’t tried to take Feng Wu with her when she escaped, which was tantamount to letting Feng Wu die.

Ironically, Ai Lin was rescued by Feng Wu’s brother. She couldn’t help but feel guilty every time she thought about it. She didn’t try to save his sister, but he had saved her. It was a debt she didn’t know how to resolve.

She didn’t dare tell Juntian about it. She couldn’t explain why she was able to escape but Feng Wu didn’t.

She couldn’t really face him anymore, and a few days ago she had decided to leave and go back to school, but as she was about to say goodbye, Juntian received an urgent mission from Star Marshall hall. They needed him to go to Coral Island and investigate the abnormality there.

Ai Lin couldn’t walk away after hearing about the mutations on Coral Island. She knew it was happening because the arm under the island detected its master was free, so it was sending out signals to let its master know where it was.
