Xu Qiuling is clearly caring for me, but she didn’t say anything about it and neither did she ask for any credit. What she did was just contributing silently.
If you don’t pay attention, perhaps you will miss it and you will never know that she has contributed everything for you.
While looking at Xu Qiuling, a sense of familiarity suddenly rose within him. He just felt like he had seen her before somewhere.
Where was it…
With Ning Fan’s speed and the direction navigated by Xu Qiuling, they reached a calm sea domain very soon.
When they had just entered this sea domain, Ning Fan immediately felt an unusual qi. The atmosphere within this area did not have the slightest trace of spiritual qi. There was no way a cultivator could train at this place at all!
This heaven and earth which had no spiritual power was of course created by some cultivators using formations in order to simulate the same situation as other mortal kingdoms.
Ning Fan came to a halt and lowered his hand to look downwards. There were many sea boats docked below.
There were more than ten sea boats and each and every one of them had a boatman. These boatmen were unremarkable at first glance, but each of them was faintly emanating Nascent Soul Realm aura force.
Upon seeing Ning Fan and Xu Qiuling’s arrival, all of them stood up together at once and gave an unfriendly look at Ning Fan.
“Please stop! This is a place for the cultivators of the Endless Sea to cultivate their hearts and minds and experience a mortal’s life. Any cultivator that enters this place is not allowed to use their teleportation or flying technique and expose a single trace of their cultivation base. Otherwise, you will be pursued by five Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts once you let the mortals in this land realize the existence of cultivators in this world and disrupt their peaceful lives.!”
These boatmen’s reminders made Ning Fan feel stunned. He looked at Xu Qiuling in his arms and shook his head.
“What should we do now? With my personality, there are no places I can’t go. If anyone stops me, I will then kill my way in.”
“Pah! We can just enter the island by riding a boat!”
Xu Qiuling was totally speechless.
This Ning Fan is really a maniac in cultivation and also a madman who favors battle! I brought him here to comprehend the life of mortal people out of my kind intentions but he still wants to kill and cause a bloody conflict in this place. Is he an idiot!?
As if she had noticed an acquaintance, Xu Qiuling pointed in a certain direction. Ning Fan held her and landed on one of the boats at once.
The boatman on the boat was a middle-aged man with a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivation base. He was vigorously smoking a dry tobacco bag.
When he saw Xu Qiuling and Ning Fan, he first revealed a vigilant look and his body instinctively warned him that the young man in front of him was extremely dangerous!
However, when he noticed Xu Qiuling, the middle-aged man was greatly confused as if he recognized her.
“You are…”
“Uncle Wang! It’s me, I’m Qiuling!”
Xu Qiuling jumped out of Ning Fan’s arms and smiled faintly. Her elegant smile immediately made the simple middle-aged man feel embarrassed of himself, not knowing where to put his hands and feet.
“Qiuling, it’s you. You’ve grown so big! *Cough* *Cough* You’re a big lady now and you even have a husband! Now, even this fourth uncle of yours almost can’t recognize you.”
“Of course I will grow up. Do you know how long it has been since my last visit to ‘Gu Su’? It was already hundreds of years ago!”
“Aiya, it’s been so long… Hehe, I have grown used to living like a mortal person, not remembering the years.”
Her fourth uncle put down his tobacco bag and looked carefully at Ning Fan. At this moment, he seemed to be looking at his niece’s husband. The longer he looked, the more satisfied he felt.
“Not Bad, Qiuling! You have a good insight. This young man has an excellent foundation. He definitely is a talented person… So this time you came here to marry your lover in conjunction with the ‘Qi Xi Festival’[2]?”
“Marriage?” Xu Qiuling’s eyes turned bright. She turned her head and looked at Ning Fan as if she was asking for permission. She then asked lightly, “Shall we try?”
“Whatever…”
Ning Fan’s tone sounded indifferent, yet his eyes remained alert. He was still in a vigilant mode, secretly paying attention to the Nascent Soul Realm experts around them.
If someone wants to hurt Xu Qiuling, he could kill all of them here within just half a breath.
It was the instinct that was built within him through his experience after countless killings and massacres.
Xu Qiuling gently sighed seeing Ning Fan behave in such a careful manner.
It seems like it isn’t easy to let him be completely relaxed… Fine. I will just treat this as an outing with him. It won’t be a bad thing after all.
