Chapter 412: Gentleman Escort

Jiang Yi stayed in the large ship leisurely and would pig himself out every day. When he had nothing to do, he would comprehend the sorcery arts and cultivate. It was a rather satisfying trip.

The only thing that made him uneasy was Zhan Lin’er. After not seeing her for a period of time, the figure of this little sister of Zhan Wushuang had grown wonderfully. She looked at Jiang Yi with eyes that had even more yearning. However, Jiang Yi’s heart already belonged to someone else; hence, he had to pretend that he didn’t see it.

Qian Wanguan sent a message back and made this fake “Qian Daye” identity into a real identity. He then intentionally disseminated the information that one of the three experts that the Qian Clan secretly nurtured, Qian Daye, had severely injured several Xiao Clan’s peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts on this trip to look for the Black Wasp. It included other things like he had earned the glory for Qian Clan and others.

Majority of the people had quickly accepted this true-false information regarding Qian Daye. There were some who were still suspicious and especially sent a message back to investigate Qian Daye’s identity. In the end, the only thing they could find was the false information that Qian Wanguan asked his men to disseminate, which had completely confirmed the fact that Qian Daye was an actual person in the Qian Clan.

Due to the huge commotion of this banquet, the young masters and ladies no longer had the mood anymore. All those parties and banquets were all put on hold, which hastened the fleet to advance and scout out all the islands to look for the Black Wasps.

The fleet was moving rapidly, relying on both the sea wind and the Soul Travel Realm experts’ essence force attacks to propel themselves. As they constantly advanced, there were more sea demons that appeared as well. The Soul Travel Realm experts would take turns to dive into the sea and eliminate all the approaching sea demons. Their trip had become tenser, and there was no longer any more mood to host banquets.

With so many Soul Travel Realm experts—even if a peak-grade tier-three sea demon was to approach, they would be eliminated as well. Hence, this trip had been a daunting one but without any mishaps. On the fifth day, they had searched dozens of islands and found some peculiar spirit herbs; but no one found any Black Wasps.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, they had discovered two Black Wasps in the middle of the sea, which reinvigorated everyone. They were certain that the Black Wasps’ nest was definitely in the nearby vicinity.

The entire fleet advanced at their fastest speed, and they quickly spotted a giant island nearby. This island was probably half the size of Starfall Island, and there were definitely demonic beasts on it. There might even be sea demons which could go on land, making it highly possible for the Black Wasps to be on this island.

“Everyone, enter the island and search!”

All the ships approached the shore and dropped their anchors. Apart from leaving behind a few guards, all the young masters and ladies were eager for action as they brought their men into the island. If the Black Wasps were on this island, there might be a war to fight for the honey; and these young masters and ladies naturally didn’t want to wait for that news on the ship. If they weren’t present and there was a clash, their subordinates might not dare to declare war. If the honey had been snatched, then this trip would be in vain. If they were around, they would at least be able to get a share of it, right?

Hundreds of experts flocked into the island and upturned the entire island. There were only a few dozen demonic beasts on the island which were slain easily. Apart from finding some spirit herbs, the Black Wasps weren’t on this island.

After squandering some time, everyone returned to shore during dusk. The red sun was setting down on the western sea, shining upon the sea water and making it deep red. The sunset filled up the sky, making the island’s scenery very enchanting. Many of the young ladies were sick of the ships and decided not to return. They gathered up, and after some discussions, they were going to prepare a bonfire banquet.

The host this time was Divine Martial Kingdom’s Princess Xia Feiyu. All the young masters and young ladies had been bored on the ships for days. Since it was a rare opportunity to relax, they all gladly accepted the invitation.

Qian Wanguan and his group were naturally invited as well, but this time, no one came looking for trouble. Xiao Tianhu was very shrewd. Although he didn’t speak much during the banquet, his face didn’t have any hint of strange expression. Jiang Yi, who had attended the banquet along with Qian Wanguan, couldn’t help but shake his head silently.

Qian Wanguan was in the limelight previously and was much more bombastic this time as he toasted with plenty of young masters and ladies. His unyielding attitude had caused a change in the people’s opinion towards the wretched fatty. They didn’t mock or ridicule Qian Wanguan anymore and spoke with him in a much better tone, giving a great boost to Qian Wanguan’s mood.

“Please carry on eating; this subordinate will go relieve himself!”

Jiang Yi was annoyed by such banquets. He was uncomfortable seeing the flirtatious young ladies and boot-licking young masters. From the looks of the situation, this banquet was going to continue for another two hours. He couldn’t stand it and was preparing to slip away.

Qian Wanguan waved his hand and didn’t bother about Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi left the beach and was preparing to return and rest on the ship. If anything was to happen, he would still be able to instantly arrive in time.

When he was a distance away from the large ship, he had a headache when he saw Zhan Lin’er on the deck alone and getting blown by the breeze. It was obvious that Zhan Lin’er was waiting for him. He quickly looked around and used the dim light of the night to sneak to the side. He finally found a reef on a nearby beach and rested there.

As he sat on the reef, he could indistinctly hear the delicate laughter of the young ladies and the carefree laughter from the young masters. He could see the waves crashing on the reefs, and in the far distance, a bright moon was rising up from the horizon of the sea. Jiang Yi originally wanted to cultivate but seeing relaxing night scenery, he decided not to and just lazed on the reefs while staring blankly into the distance.

What exactly is on the other side of the reef? Where exactly is the East Imperial Continent? Where exactly are you, Mother?

His thoughts quickly drifted away as he imagined the continent on the other end of this sea region, thinking of that beautiful and comforting smile on Yi Piaopiao’s face.

“Sigh…”

After looking for a moment, he let out a sigh. He had to go look for Yi Piaopiao, but Su Ruoxue wasn’t going to abandon her citizens. If he was worried about leaving Su Ruoxue by herself on the Stellarsky Continent, how was he going to search for the East Imperial Continent? He was in a great dilemma for these two matters.

“Why is Young Master sighing by himself in this place?”

Right at this moment, there was a silky soft voice that came from behind the reefs, which pulled Jiang Yi back from his thoughts. His eyes had a flash of chilling light. How could he be this careless to not notice when someone approached him?

He turned around to look, and his eyes instantly lit up. There was a white-dressed lady that walked leisurely from the beach ahead. The bright moonlight illuminated this young lady’s face and made her look as beautiful as a fairy.

It was a titillating night with gentle breezes and lovely scenery. With the appearance of this beauty, Jiang Yi was intoxicated for a moment.

Of course…

He quickly snapped out of it. He didn’t stand up and just let out a nefarious grin. “Daye pays his respect to Princess Ling Yue. Daye is just a servant and isn’t worthy for the title of Young Master.”

“Pfff!”

Princess Ling Yue had a pretty face and had similar traits to Ling Xue, but she looked more delicate and soft. Her face had this goose-egg shape, and her legs were extremely long. She had curly eyelashes which were tempting and lovely.

After she scoffed, she spoke in a seemingly annoyed and laughing tone, “Do you look like a servant? You aren’t even getting up to bow after seeing this Princess? Doesn’t your Qian Clan know any rules and etiquette?”

“Hehe!”

Jiang Yi continued to smile nefariously and remained seated. Instead, he raised a leg and spoke in a sloppy manner, “Daye has been an orphan since young and was taken in by the Qian Clan at the age of ten. My temperament has always been strange, and I ask for Your Highness to forgive me.”

This Princess Ling Yue actually came here alone without any guards, and she seemed to be coming directly for him? Jiang Yi was able to understand it even if he used his butt to think. This Ling Yue was trying to recruit him on behalf of the Azure Dragon Empire. Since that was the case, why did he have to behave in a modest manner?

As expected!

Ling Yue glared at Jiang Yi with a displeased look, but it made her look even more charming. She didn’t get angry and just spoke in a leisure tone, “Qian Daye, this Princess wants to take a walk there. You are competently strong. I will give you the chance to be a gentleman escort for this time.”

“Gentleman escort?”

Jiang Yi brows lifted while his let out a faint smile. His body didn’t move, and he mocked instead, “In the dead of the night and having a man and a woman by themselves. Is Princess not afraid this gentleman escort would suddenly transform and become a lustful devil?”
