Chapter 701

~11 min read 2,070 words

The Captain's heart voice, Xu Qing couldn't hear.

But he noticed the light in the Captain's eyes; the last time there was such light in his memory was when the Jin Gang Sect was building the sect in Yinghuang State, and You Jing passed by in luxurious immortal clothes.

At that time, the Captain looked at You Jing's clothes, and the light in his eyes was as strong as now.

Obviously, anyone who dared to swagger in front of him would cause a strong attraction to the Captain.

Xu Qing shook his head, too lazy to persuade anything; he was already used to it.

And the things that happened to the Captain in the following days also confirmed Xu Qing's guess...

He indeed took a fancy to the hair cake.

Perhaps out of curiosity, or perhaps to make friends, the Captain left quietly, following the big hair cake in the sky, trying to get close and play with it many times.

"Big hair, wait a moment, I only have half a month; if I don't say hello and get to know you, I will definitely regret it later; there are so many hairs in the Wanggu Continent, but you are the most special."

But it might be because the words were not sincere or the eyes were not pure, so every time the Captain didn't wait to get too close, his whole body would shine, and the next moment he would lose his trace.

He was teleported away.

But the Captain's persistent spirit should be the root of his madness, so often very quickly, he would return again and continue to walk over sincerely.

Even while approaching, he would call out gently, making himself look like he had no malice; in order to look more realistic, he simply took out a peach to eat.

Because only when eating peaches would the specific tenderness in his heart be unconsciously expressed.

"Hello, I think you have a special temperament, so I want to come over and get to know you."

Swish!

The hair cake roared past, ignoring him, and by the way, gave the Captain a teleportation.

An hour later, the Captain's figure ran from the distance, waving his hand while running.

"Don't go, do you know, you are especially like an old friend of mine, that was my best friend..."

Swish!

Continued to disappear.

Just like that, seven days later, under the Captain's incomparable persistence, under his countless gentle words, the big hair cake, which had never experienced similar things, finally noticed Erniu.

There was doubt in its big eyes, and it was the first time it let the Captain get closer, arriving within a range of ten feet.

The Captain was excited when he saw this; he had a feeling of getting closer to Li Shitao little by little at the beginning, so he tried hard to make himself gentle, eating peaches while soothing softly, trying to get closer again.

But the hair cake's vigilance was very strong; the moment the Captain was about to get closer, its whole body flashed with light, and it was about to teleport the Captain.

The Captain was anxious and spoke quickly.

"Big hair, you dropped something, I helped you pick it up."

Saying that, the Captain endured the heartache and took out a tiny bit of Red Mother's flesh and blood, smaller than a fingernail, and walked over slowly.

As soon as this flesh and blood came out, the hair cake's eyes went straight, its vigilance loosened a bit, and with this fleeting opportunity, the Captain took the flesh and blood and finally arrived in front of the hair cake.

He fed the meat into the hair cake's mouth, and while the hair cake swallowed it, he used all his strength to raise his hand and grab hundreds of blue hairs on the hair cake's body, pulling with all his might.

With a snap, these hundreds of hairs broke directly, and the stimulation brought caused the hair cake to shake all over, and the strong dazzling light turned into a sea of light, erupting in all directions.

In an instant, the clouds and mist in the surroundings were all teleported away, and the Captain's figure also disappeared without a trace.

But this time it was different from the past; after emitting the teleportation light, the hair cake did not continue to play leisurely as usual; there was anger in its big eyes, as if it had been deceived, erupting with teleportation light continuously on the spot, making the sky bright.

Immediately after, its body rushed out suddenly, tracking the traces, locking onto a direction, and crossing the void.

Thus, in the following days, the people of Tai'an County often saw a shocking scene.

In the sky, the hair cake erupted with a sea of light, chasing a figure; every time it caught up, it would open its big mouth, swallow instantly, chew with all its might, but soon it seemed to notice it wasn't the main body.

So it continued to search with anger, continuing to swallow.

Repeating over and over, constantly cycling.

And the screams from the person being chased and tortured were also echoed in all directions many times.

This scene was also seen by the cultivators of Fenghai County, each with a strange expression; Xiang Ningyan and Wu Jianwu were full of emotion, and they were not surprised by this.

Immortal Zixuan ignored it.

Xu Qing sighed, in his temporary residence, looking at a blue worm in front of him, and shook his head.

"Big Senior Brother, is it worth it?"

This blue worm was the size of a finger, with a human head, and it was the Captain.

His expression was still proud at this moment.

"Of course it's worth it, it's fine, it's fine; I guess that hair is a female, it's normal to lose her temper, so I prepared several clones to play with her."

"But the harvest this time is absolutely worth it!"

"Little A-Qing, this teleportation array is not simple; it should have turned into a forbidden area under the Remnant Face's gaze, but it directly activated and became a life; this kind of mutation is rare, which is equal to the offspring of the Remnant Face."

"On it, it must possess some characteristics of the Remnant Face!"

"So don't look at me consuming a bit of Red Mother's flesh and blood, but the significance of those dozen or so hairs is greater than everything."

"As long as you are happy." Xu Qing didn't want to pay attention anymore; after speaking, he closed his eyes and meditated silently.

Seeing this, the worm the Captain turned into crawled to the side, lying there comfortably, pondering in his heart how to use those dozen or so hairs to maximize the benefits.

Just like that, the hair cake continued to tear and bite in the sky, time passed slowly, and soon another seven days passed; the hair cake's anger still hadn't dissipated, but its sleeping time had arrived.

Even if it was unwilling in its heart, it still had to return to Ningyang State, returned to the ground, retracted its hair, and turned back into an ancient array, motionless.

It was time for Xu Qing and the others to leave.

So amidst the vigilance of Tai'an County, Xu Qing and his group arrived at the array, and amidst the shining light, teleportation opened.

And the moment of teleportation, this array trembled a few times, as if the sleeping hair cake noticed the aura that made it persistent and wanted to wake up, but couldn't do it.

Finally, amidst the unwilling shining of the array light, everyone's figures disappeared from Tai'an County.

The subsequent journey crossed multiple major domains, teleported several times, occasionally with twists and turns, but overall it was smooth; finally, after three months, their figures appeared on the teleportation array of the last county.

This county was named Nanxin, the enclave closest to the Imperial Capital Domain, located in the Huihai Domain.

The sea of the Huihai Domain was different from the conventional sea, because the flying zero flowers similar to dandelions drifted here all year round, so for most of the year, the ground was covered by gray cotton, looking like a sea from afar, hence the name.

At first glance, it was similar to the white wind of the Kusheng Mountain Range, but the essence was obviously different.

When Xu Qing and his group appeared, it was the season when the flying zero flowers drifted; gray cotton sprinkled all over the sky, and when the wind blew, it formed a gray sea that connected heaven and earth.

It looked beautiful, but for the living beings living here, this was actually a miserable disaster.

The gray cotton all over the sky, if inhaled too much into the body, would make life wither faster, so the ten thousand races living here either had to form protection outside their bodies at any time, or needed to wear things to cover themselves.

It was precisely this characteristic of the major domain that made the living beings living here mostly silent.

When Xu Qing and the others appeared, what they saw and felt was just like this.

And unlike Tai'an County, their arrival did not cause the vigilance of this Nanxin County; the cultivators guarding the array in this county were mostly lazy.

This point did not only appear in Nanxin County; in fact, along the way, the further away from Fenghai County, the less vigilance there was; obviously, the matter of the Shenglan Domain, due to the distance, even if it spread, was very difficult to cause too much waves.

After all, it had nothing to do with oneself, and it was too far away.

And as the Nanxin County closest to the Imperial Capital Domain, their connection with the Imperial Capital was naturally closer than other counties, and there were even some powerful nobles who were marginalized by the Imperial Capital living within it.

Xu Qing and the others didn't care about this; after walking out of the teleportation array, they didn't plan to go out either, but prepared to arrange the teleportation array quickly like before, to carry out the final teleportation.

It only needed one teleportation to reach the Imperial Capital Domain from here.

"Imperial Capital Domain, it's about to arrive."

Xu Qing looked into the distance, through the falling gray cotton, gazing at the direction of the Imperial Capital Domain.

"And Huang Yan's sister is also in this county."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze; he didn't know how to find the other party, but according to Huang Yan's statement, his feather should be able to make her perceive it and come by herself.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing looked around, and finally his gaze fell on Xiang Ningyan.

Xiang Ningyan's expression was different from other counties; here he seemed very restrained, even a bit nervous; after noticing Xu Qing's gaze, he took a deep breath, barely calmed down, walked over quickly, and spoke in a low voice.

"Boss, I felt the blood aura of my Third Sister... She didn't hide it, so it's very clear; I think she also perceived me."

"Princess Anhai?" Xu Qing's mind recalled the Imperial Princess he met at the Seventh Prince's banquet back then.

"I roughly know why she would appear in this county, because in this Nanxin County, there is an elder, she is the wet nurse of the Third Princess and the Fifth Prince."

"Because of the excellence of the Third Princess and the Fifth Prince after they grew up, the Human Emperor specially allowed her to retire in this county; this place is also the hometown of that elder."

Xiang Ningyan was just saying this when a figure roared from the distant sky, shuttling through the gray sea, and appeared in front of Xu Qing and his group, turning into a maid.

This maid's gaze was sharp, her cultivation was not bad; the first thing she looked at after appearing was Li Yunshan and Immortal Zixuan, then looked at Xu Qing, her expression obviously restrained, and finally looked at Xiang Ningyan beside him.

Then she bowed her head slightly and spoke slowly.

"Seen the Twelfth Highness."

"Her Highness the Princess is accompanying Sun Nanny to set up a banquet, sensing the aura of the Twelfth Highness, so she ordered this servant to come and invite you."
