Chapter 859: Complexity

(Unedited)

…

Shin Jiao walks out of the forest and behind him floated Levi who shows complicated reactions and expression. There are multiple sharp needles poking out on his bald head and on other parts of his body.

When Shin Jiao was attacked by Levi, his psychokinesis has already detected the mental attack. But what his opponent did not notice are the floating needles that have been floating behind him all the time. In actual fact, Shin Jiao was a bit curious about how this person is able to preserve his life even after being bashed into a bloody pulp.

He knew that, if he could figure this out, then there is a way to circumvent mortality in this place. And that would make him less worried about his companions.

But of course, it's just an idea; hence he wanted to capture the man.

Everything went smoothly as the man attacked and was immediately pierced by the needles making his ability reflect back to himself.

That means, he has been torturing himself but he is unaware of it because his pain receptors are not functioning anymore.

When Shin Jiao saw his people's reaction, he was a bit surprised.

"You guys seem afraid?" Shin Jiao asked while looking at some of the mage guards.

They lowered their heads and then one of them who seems to be their captain showed a faint smile.

"Master Shin… We… we are just worried about the Blood Fiend, master… That thing is known throughout the history of the kingdom as an undying being. Even in the textbooks, they are considered as powerful beings that would wipe out any village or town." The mage guard captain explained.

Shin Jiao just showed a faint smile on his face. He knew that what the legends say about this being is somewhat vague. There are no they… because as he said a while ago, he is the only one in this world, and Shin Jiao believes it to be.

How could he not? If there are more of them in this land, then this land would not exist as it should be. It would be filled with corpses and ghouls and the so-called Blood Fiends would be ruling over the kingdom.

But of course, Shin Jiao is suspecting that this guy was sent here for a reason, what that reason is, he did not know and only those two saint rulers that created this place could tell.

Shin Jiao did not linger in this matter as he put Levi inside a container and left him in his laboratory. The container would freeze him until the time that Shin Jiao free to conduct his experiments. He did not store Levi in his dimension as he did not know the effect of having that Blood Fiend inside his space.

After finishing up, he decided to change and go to his office.

As he walks out, Hua Xiao is already in front with an excited expression on her beautiful face.

Although Shin Jiao has seen a lot of beautiful women, and his wife is someone according to his view as the most beautiful woman he had seen, he still could not deny that Hua Xiao is also a rare beauty. A slight smile appears on his face as he noticed her admirers inside the ship look at her with their love-struck expressions.

"How may I help you, Miss Xiao…" Shin Jiao politely greeted.

"Umm… Shin… I… Can I talk to you privately?" she said as if she has made the greatest decision in her life.

Shin Jiao frowns a bit and the men around them showed a hint of disappointment.

"Hey, will Miss Xiao become our mistress?" suddenly one of the mages whispered to his companion as they slowly walk on the corridor.

"Ssshh… Don't you know that Master Shin already has Miss Im Jae and Miss Nariz Gumal? But who knows, right?" his companion whispered in a much lower voice.

However, their words did not escape Shin Jiao's sharp ears, even Hua Xiao heard them which made her suddenly realized her blunder.

"We can talk to my office… After you Miss Xiao…" Shin Jiao gestured for her to walk ahead.

Hua Xiao is now blushing upon realizing what she has said. But she did not want to create a misunderstanding between her and Shin Jiao, so she just walks ahead.

Suddenly from a corner, Xiamen Gong appears and showed a wide smile upon seeing Hua Xiao. Then he nodded his head towards her in a greeting which she also replied and move on.

Shin Jiao also nodded his head towards Xiamen Gong who also greeted him.

However, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward as Xiamen Gong's gaze shifted from the two who are walking in the direction of Shin Jiao's office.

He knew that Hua Xiao has no favorable feelings towards Shin Jiao and only respected him for his abilities and what he did to save them. And other than that, there is nothing else…

But seeing the two walk to Shin Jiao's office, his heart could not help but feel weird. All of this time, while staying on the ship, Xiamen Gong has seen a lot of Hua Xiao's abilities and charm as an independent woman.

Though she is headstrong sometimes, she still has her womanly charms which seem to have attracted him for some unknown reasons. Seeing Shin Jiao following her from behind, made Xiamen Gong feels a bit of jealousy in his heart.

He knew that there is nothing between the two, but he could not help but feel somewhat this way.

He shook his head and then walks away trying to chase that awful feeling in his heart.

Meanwhile, in another corner stood Im Jae who is showing a complicated expression on her lovely face. She has already shown her feelings towards Shin Jiao many times, and he did not reciprocate. Now that she could see him following Hua Xiao, which is not normal, she felt a bit weird.

Well, the main reason for this misunderstanding is the visible blush on Hua Xiao's face. How could people not misunderstand this situation?

It's like Hua Xiao has just been confessed with and is blushing. And now, Shin Jiao, who confessed to her, is following her to his office to have a more… private conversation.

And this is what runs to the minds of all those who have seen the two. And this rumor has begun to spread throughout the ship.

Meanwhile, inside Shin Jiao's office, he sat opposite Hua Xiao as she began to give her proposal. Shin Jiao listens and showed a hint of interest. If they can exit this land and gain cooperation with the Xiao clan, that would be a great start for him in the Long clan in the Immortal Land.

Shin Jiao truly showed interest in this in his thought, and the two began to discuss the deal.

It took them about 2 hours to finish everything.

These two hours have made everyone who is standing outside of the office door feels anxious. This is true, especially to Im Jae.

As the door opens everyone craned their heads to see what happened.

However, what they saw is nothing special. Shin Jiao and Hua Xiao shook their hands and she left with a happy expression on her face.

Although many did not know what just happened, Im Jae is filled with jealousy in her heart upon seeing that lovely smile on Hua Xiao's beautiful face.

She wanted to run and ask Shin Jiao what they were discussing for a long time and her expression has already sunken. Traces of tears could even be seen in her eyes as she looks at the closed office door.

With a sad expression, Im Jae ran away and directly went to the laboratory. She needed someone to console her, and Nariz Gumal is the only one she could confide with.

At this time, Shin Jiao is unaware of the things that are happening as he is busy working on the blueprint for the bipedal mech. He named it Windfall.

He knew that if the laboratory can create Windfall, he could start a production line for the bipedal mech and start a revolution in the mechanical industry in this land.

With excitement in his eyes, Shin Jiao is already starting in making the blueprint for the four-legged mech which would replace steeds in the future.

…

While this is happening inside the ship, outside is not that peaceful. The reason for this is the growing number of small dots that could be found on the horizon. Those from Central Town knew what it was and they are all afraid of what it would bring them.

The town suddenly became ablaze with sounds of alarms as the citizens began to run towards their own homes and soldiers began to run towards their posts. They all knew that a battle is once again at hand, and since this has happened always, they are already aware of what to do next.

But of course, that did not say that they are not afraid.. In fact, everyone is afraid, everyone is truly terrified right at this moment.
