Chapter 1563: Insufficient Sincerity
"Fate is just like this, so don't blame heaven or others." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "You should also accept this reality."
"Let's reach an agreement. From now on, we won't interfere with each other. Wherever you are, I will step back. I absolutely will not interfere with your affairs. How about that?" Honghou lost her nerve. She raised her head and began to discuss matters with Chen Yu seriously.
She also saw the reality clearly. If she didn't step back, she would be sealed again in that coffin where she would never see the light of day. If she went in this time, she was afraid she would never be able to come out again.
"Not enough sincerity." Chen Yu laughed. "Are you talking to me in a tone of negotiation? Sorry, I don't accept it."
"Then what do you want? I have already been talking to you very seriously. I have sincerity." Honghou was anxious. Chen Yu gave her the feeling of someone who could not be swayed by either soft or hard tactics.
"First, you are not qualified to sit on equal footing with me, because right now, I can take your life in an instant." Chen Yu said, "You should have the attitude of someone begging for help. Besides, your tone of voice is very unpleasant. I think it would be better to put you back into the coffin."
"Don't, please don't..." Honghou wilted. She really didn't want to go into the coffin and live that life without seeing the light of day. She gritted her teeth: "I acknowledge you as my master and will only do what you want me to do. Do you think this will work?"
"If that's the case, it's not impossible. Rest assured, I won't control you for too long. I have some enemies who are too powerful, so I need some helpers by my side. Once the enemies are dealt with, I will let you go. By then, the sea and sky will be vast, and you can be as free as you like." Chen Yu said with a chuckle.
"Alright, I agree." Honghou struggled a little bit, but she still nodded, because she knew that it was impossible for her to resist in front of Chen Yu.
He took a bit of Soul Consciousness into his own hands; from now on, she was considered one of his own.
"Your Curse, lift it. I don't understand why people like you would come up with these inexplicable curses." Chen Yu said with some helplessness: "Is it fun? Is this the only way to vent the resentment in your hearts?"
"Yes, Master." Hong Hou nodded.
"Call me Boss. I'm not used to your way of addressing people." Chen Yu said.
"Yes, Boss." Hong Hou nodded. She formed seals with both hands, closed her eyes slightly, and then a series of long, tedious incantations came from her mouth.
Her speaking speed was very fast and urgent. Even though Chen Yu could communicate on a spiritual level, he didn't know what the incantations she was chanting actually meant.
As her incantation ended, Honghou slowly spread her hands. A gust of Qingfeng swept across the entire island. Qishu, who was to the side, couldn't help but feel his spirits lift. He looked at his arm, and that inexplicable mark had already disappeared.
"Mr. Chen, is the curse lifted just like that?" Qishu asked in both surprise and joy.
"Yes, it is considered lifted." Chen Yu said, "Including everyone on the island, the curse has been lifted."
"That's good, thank you, Mr. Chen." Qishu said gratefully.
To be honest, after going back this time, he was going to truly retire. In the future, even if there were better tombs and Secret Realms, he wouldn't be bored enough to jump in and explore them.
Because this time, he had nearly lost his own Life in there. He didn't want to experience these things ever again.
The cruise ship had finished resupplying and continued to sail forward along the loop. After passing Pirate Island, it headed toward Fusang from another direction.
"Mr. Chen, the sea area ahead is called Tianping Yu. It is the calmest sea area on the ocean, and this is also the last stop for our cruise ship." On the deck, Zhou Ran found Chen Yu and smiled.
"Oh, is this trip coming to an end?" Chen Yu had been staring at the sea in a daze, and Zhou Ran's words brought him back to reality.
"Yes, it's coming to an end. After we reach the port of Fusang, we will rest for three days and then return by ship. The return trip will be a straight line, and we will reach the country very quickly." Zhou Ran smiled: "The sea area ahead is also very nice. If you have time, you should have a good time exploring it."
"Why is it called Tianping Yu?" Chen Yu asked in confusion.
"This name was given by us. That place is actually international waters, but it is calm and never has any wind or waves." Zhou Ran said: "We will stay there for one night to hold a sea party and have a carnival."
"Let's skip it this time." Chen Yu said indifferently.
"Skip it? You mean we won't stop there?" Zhou Ran was slightly stunned, and she blurted out: "Why?"
"Do you trust your intuition?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"I do, my intuition has always been very accurate." Zhou Ran nodded without hesitation.
"Then do you think your cruise ship's route this time has been smooth?" Chen Yu asked.
"It hasn't been smooth." Zhou Ran's expression was complex. This voyage was the one where she had encountered the most problems in her life. She hadn't expected that so many situations would occur, and many things were beyond her expectations.
Especially the trip to Pirate Island; everyone on the whole ship had nearly been lost there.
"Since it hasn't been smooth, some parts that can be omitted should be omitted. I know the Tianping Yu you mentioned." Chen Yu took out a map and pointed to a sea area: "It's here, right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Zhou Ran nodded.
"That sea area does not exist." Chen Yu spat out a sentence indifferently.
"Impossible, we have been to that sea area many times, how could it not exist?" Zhou Ran was shocked. Chen Yu's words made her feel somewhat incredulous.
"Every time you went, it was at night, right?" Chen Yu asked.
"Yes, we always went at night, but we go to that sea area often, even during the day. There is a small island there, and the residents on the island are very hospitable." Zhou Ran said.
"Night, indigenous people." Chen Yu smiled and said: "I don't know how to explain these things to you either. Listen to me, take a detour."
Zhou Ran was silent for a moment, then nodded and said: "Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll notify the crew immediately. Some passengers came specifically for this Tianping Yu. Now that it's canceled, I have to soothe their emotions."
"Fine, go ahead." Chen Yu nodded.
After Zhou Ran left, a figure flashed, and Hong Hou walked over.
"After not coming out for several hundred years, has this world already become like this?" Honghou enjoyed this kind of life very much. To be honest, the era she lived in was the feudal period, where Theocracy was greater than everything.
And she was also from a poor background. She had witnessed the tragic death of her own family with her own eyes. It was only after exhausting all her efforts that she climbed from the bottom to the top.
But in today's society, there is no hunger, everyone is equal, people are able to live and work in peace, and there are no charlatans wildly exploiting the world in the name of gods.
