After meeting Zhihe and the Old Devil, half of Zhihe’s personality and half of the Old Devil’s personality constituted the present Ning Fan’s personality!
“That… Brother Fan…” Zhihe’s eyes opened wide as if there was something she wanted to say.
“Yes?”
“Could you bring me a Bell Orchid when you’re back from the Endless Sea?” Zhihe requested.
“Bell Orchid? Doesn’t Yue Country have such an orchid?” asked Ning Fan surprisingly.
“It’s different… It is said that the orchid in the Endless Sea could let out a sound of a wind chime when the wind blows, extremely pleasant to hear… I will know that you’re back when I hear that sound…” Zhihe said sillily and fell asleep in the arms of Ning Fan.
Ning Fan silently etched into his mind the silly girl’s wish.
Bell Orchid was just an ordinary mortal plant in the Endless Sea… Zhihe’s wish was simple, simple enough to be taken a pity.
Zhihe could not go to the Endless Sea because of the endless dangers the place possessed. That was the origin of the name “Endless”.
As for the Ning City, it was Ning Fan’s home. He needed someone to look forward to the moment he returned home.
This trip to the Endless Sea might require ten years, or maybe decades or even a hundred years.
The wait maybe tormenting, yet this was the life of a cultivator. As for those Dao companions, the wife might not be able to see her husband for tens of years if the husband were to go into seclusion.
Cultivators had their own helplessness, even True Immortals could hardly be free and unfettered.
“A bell orchid… I shall bear it in mind.”
“…”
A dazzling ship was soon to set sail outside Seven Apricot city.
Under the ship, there was Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo and Ning Fan saying their goodbyes to their relatives, friends and cultivators of Yue Country.
Most of the cultivators were from the Fire Cloud and Sinister Sparrow Sect. People from other sects came to watch, but were not as enthusiastic as the two sects.
Nan Gong, Si Tu, Wei Chi, the four clans of Seven Apricot and the Four Armies of Ning City.
Gui Qiaozi, Xue Qing, Nan Wei, even Yan Zuiyun who once had a disagreement with Ning Fan, Bai Feiteng and Yan Bai who also had quite an animosity.
Only a few exchange of conventional greetings and exhorts was enough for these people.
However, the goodbyes with the girls like Lan Mei made Ning Fan slightly reluctant.
“Ning Fan, take these immortal jades with you… I requested it from father…” Lan Mei gave him a storage pouch that was filled to the brim with hidden bitterness.
Ning Fan’s divine sense swept through it and was instantly surprised… Thirty thousand immortal jades, this could be Gui Qiaozi’s entire asset. Lan Mei must have dug deep and searched the entire sect to get this amount.
“To cultivate within the Lost World Tower in the Endless Sea, it is not overrated to describe it as overly expensive… Do not be reluctant in spending when you’re away from home…” Lan Mei said. She was slightly bitter when Ning Fan decided not to bring her along, but she was also extremely worried about his safety.
Of course, she was also slightly worried of his playboy nature. Would he philander out there…
Lan Mei and Ning Fan had a marriage agreement. It was not a secret to the cultivators of Yue Country.
The farewell gift was already thirty thousand immortal jades… Even Jing Zhuo and the other old ancestors couldn’t help but envy Ning Fan’s luck in the opposite sex. It would be extremely difficult to find a 2nd wife in Yue Country that would give her husband thirty thousand immortal jades as allowance…
Bai Lu also came, but she did not speak a word to Ning Fan. She only saw him off from afar.
When Ning Fan saw her negligible figure within the crowd, he smiled towards her. Bai Lu’s eyebrows trembled immediately and turned her back. It was hard to identify her expression clearly.
“Be careful… on the journey…” She said in a message transmission.
“You too should cultivate diligently, maybe then you will have the chance to kill me the moment I return,” Ning Fan teasingly said.
“Hmmph! You think I couldn’t do it?! You just wait and see, my cultivation base will surely improve tremendously by the time you return and I will surely surprise you!” Bai Lu resentfully said.
“Very well, I shall wait.”
“…”
After the series of farewells was done, Ning Fan and Jing Zhou received quite a number of generous gifts from numerous old monsters before boarding the ship which was set to sail towards the north.
There were twenty pretty females that were given by the Corpse Seizing Sect Old Ancestor to Ning Fan as servants on the ship. It was originally given to Ning Fan as cauldrons. However, Ning Fan could not harm these Yue Country female cultivators even if he did not have enough cauldrons. Furthermore, these pretty cauldrons’ cultivation bases erre just between fourth to fifth level Vein Opening. The effect of plucking was only average…
It would be better for them to do servant work as the expression of Lan Mei and the other girls did not seem to be nice…
Also, Ning Fan recognized an acquaintance within the female servants, but have yet to expose her.
These female servants were tasked to do menial jobs like serving tea and drinks. Ning Fan did not order them to sleep with him, which made the girls silently sigh in relief.
Other than that, Ning Fan executed an unknown technique and magically conjured Bing Ling, Yue Ling, and the other fifteen female cultivators out of the air.
These female cultivators voluntarily proposed to sleep with Ning Fan, except for the two Gold Cores amongst them. As for whether Ning Fan had accepted their proposals or not, the servants didn’t know…
The ship had flown for several days and had reached the boundary of the north of Yue Country. At this moment, only then did Ning Fan gather the servants and spoke towards a particular servant,
“Suqiu Xian Zi left without a word the other day, I thought that I would never be able to meet Xian Zi forever. But surprisingly, the esteemed Suqiu Xian Zi came aboard my ship under the recommendation of the Corpse Seizing Sect’s old ancestor and became a servant…”
The acquaintance who Ning Fan immediately recognized was Suqiu Xian Zi. She had unexpectedly boarded the ship.
Suqiu immediately undid her disguise after her cover was blown and gently smiled.
“I have made a fool of myself, Revered Ning. Now that I don’t belong to any sect nor faction, I would like to rely on a friend’s sect in the Endless Sea… However, my immortal jades had been left at the Supreme Void Sect and I am now penniless. It would be hard for me to reach the Endless Sea with just my strength, hence I have come to rely on Revered Ning… What’s wrong? Could it be that you won’t allow me to accompany you? ”
“Not really, I just felt a bit flattered… Since Suqiu Xian Zi had already boarded my ‘pirate’ ship, it will not be easy to get off it,” Ning Fan smilingly said.
“Pirate ship…”
Suqiu who had a stern face laughed after hearing Ning Fan’s joke. Is there someone in this world who proclaimed themselves as a pirate?
