Chapter 456: Chapter 455: Taste Me, I’m Definitely Sweet

The Sea of Seven Emotions

The Sea of Seven Emotions wasn’t an island, but an inland sea region.

An uncharted area not shown on any map.

The Sea of Seven Emotions was also called the Seven-Colored Sea. Throughout the seasons, its shores would display seven different colors. What was baffling was that these colors appeared without any discernible pattern.

It might be red in January this year, but purple next year. The red might last for a month this year, but only three days the next.

The colors were ever-changing and unpredictable, yet they were unexpectedly brilliant, stirring the heart.

It was called the Sea of Seven Emotions because it was fleeting, because it was romantic, because it stirred the heart, because it evoked loneliness, and because it was so much like love itself.

The most common sight here was couples.

Couples were rare in the Cultivation Realm, and most of them could be found here.

Of course, some people came here hoping to become a couple, so a bit of wooing was still necessary.

And this was the easiest place to do it.

As for whether they would end up as official Daoist partners, that was hard to say.

But Su Qi and Jiang Zuo were a bona fide Daoist couple.

They never had to worry about seeing public displays of affection when they came here.

Before nightfall, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi got off the plane.

The moment they disembarked, Su Qi said cheerfully, "Let’s go to the shore! I heard we can see the Purple Sea tonight."

Jiang Zuo had never been here to see the sea, but one thing made him curious. "What do you think the red sea here is like? Is it like a sea of blood?

If you stand on a sea like that, don’t you get the feeling of being in a Bloody Wave?"

Su Qi: "... Say one more word."

Jiang Zuo: "..."

’I was just being practical,’ he thought. ’A red sea... isn’t that just a sea of blood?’

’How could a sea like that be romantic?’

The shore of the Sea of Seven Emotions didn’t have much of a beach. Instead, there were many independent boardwalks extending out over the water.

These boardwalks were transparent, and only a Cultivator could perceive their location.

Each couple had their own path, and they would rarely encounter others head-on or at close range.

This gave them enough private space.

But while that was the intended design, few actually abided by it. They were all Cultivators; who needed to walk on a boardwalk?

They all just zipped straight out over the sea’s surface.

Su Qi was no different. She pulled Jiang Zuo into the air above the sea, then landed on its surface.

The moment she landed on the water, it began to freeze rapidly around her.

The ice was also transparent, making it easy to see the sea below.

"Haha, I heard the sea here only starts to change after dark. I wonder what it’ll be like. I’m so excited!" Su Qi sat on the edge of the ice, took off her shoes, and dangled her feet in the water.

Jiang Zuo asked curiously, "You’ve never been here before?"

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo. "What’s the point of coming here if it’s not with you?"

Jiang Zuo sat down beside Su Qi and said lightly, "Is that so."

Su Qi leaned against Jiang Zuo. "This is so nice, being able to come here openly together. I used to think about tricking you into coming with me."

"Why were you so set on coming here?" Jiang Zuo asked.

"Because I heard that Daoist partners who see the Sea of Seven Emotions together will love and stay with each other for a lifetime," Su Qi said.

Jiang Zuo said, "Didn’t we already make a pinky promise?"

Su Qi smiled. "You can never have too many of these assurances. Anyway, I can’t live without you. I’m very strong, you know, so you’d better not get any funny ideas."

Was Su Qi very strong?

Well, she was indeed quite strong. But Jiang Zuo felt that he was the strongest. It’s just that the strongest him couldn’t beat Su Qi.

Suddenly, Jiang Zuo spoke up. "My eyes are like the sea, and you are like the water."

Su Qi blinked, looking at Jiang Zuo. "???"

Jiang Zuo asked, "Do you know what the sea is made of?"

Su Qi ventured a guess. "All water?"

Jiang Zuo nodded. "Exactly. So my eyes are all you."

Su Qi’s watery eyes stared unblinkingly at Jiang Zuo. Finally, she said, "Are you saying I’m salty?

Shouldn’t I be sweet?"

Jiang Zuo’s face darkened. "..."

’Just pretend I didn’t say anything,’ he thought.

Seeing Jiang Zuo was speechless, Su Qi snuggled into his arms and said, "Why don’t you have a taste and see if I’m sweet?"

Jiang Zuo: "..."

BOOM! BOOM!

The sudden roaring sound startled Jiang Zuo and Su Qi.

Jiang Zuo, who had been just about to taste Su Qi, looked up.

Su Qi immediately sat up. ’Seriously, what a way to interrupt someone,’ she grumbled internally.

But it was a fight between people, after all, so they still had to pay attention.

Yes, someone was fighting, and they were headed in their direction.

Jiang Zuo, however, was calm. The ones fighting were a young man and woman. It wasn’t a life-or-death battle; more like a spar where they were holding back.

However, the man clearly had the upper hand.

They leaped between the various boardwalks on the sea’s surface before finally landing on Su Qi’s sheet of ice. Fortunately, the ice was large enough that they weren’t too close.

At this point, they stopped. Jiang Zuo saw that the woman was a beautiful Fairy. As for the male Cultivator, he seemed less impressive by comparison.

Not that he was ugly, just not the type that girls usually found appealing.

A bit more on the rugged side, perhaps.

In Jiang Zuo’s opinion, the male Cultivator was quite stylish.

The male Cultivator then said to the Fairy, "Fairy, what is the meaning of this?"

The Fairy replied, "My master has a decree: my face beneath my veil cannot be glimpsed by any man. If it is, I must either marry him or take his life.

I have now tested myself and found that I am not your match, fellow Daoist. Therefore, I intend to refuse my master’s order and abolish it."

The Cultivator was utterly speechless. "..."

Even Jiang Zuo and Su Qi were speechless.

’Abolish the rule if you don’t like the guy, but declare the master’s orders inviolable if you do?’

The Cultivator sighed. "Whatever the Fairy says, goes."

In truth, he knew about this rule, and he was the one who had invited her here. But seeing her face this time had been a complete accident.

The moment he saw it, he thought his luck had turned, but who knew it would nearly turn into a disaster out of nowhere.

What could he say at a time like this?

After that, the woman left, but not before giving a slight, apologetic bow in Jiang Zuo and Su Qi’s direction.

Once she was gone, the male Cultivator also apologized. "My apologies for disturbing you two."

Jiang Zuo had no desire to speak. If Su Qi hadn’t pinched his waist, he would have just sat right back down.

Helpless, Jiang Zuo could only say, "It’s fine. My condolences."

The Cultivator: "..."

’What in the world is my husband saying?’ Su Qi was also at a loss for words.

However, the Cultivator didn’t say anything more and simply left.

The moment he was gone, Su Qi immediately piped up, "Can’t you speak properly? You think everyone is as easygoing as your wife?"

"I know," Jiang Zuo said.

’Next time I definitely won’t say anything,’ he thought. ’There’s nothing to say, anyway.’

Su Qi glanced around, then leaned close to Jiang Zuo again. "Have a taste. C’mon, I’m definitely sweet."

Jiang Zuo naturally had no reason to refuse. But just as he was about to take a taste, two more people came whistling through the air.

This time it was two men, and they had come via Sword Control.

"Were you the ones fighting here just now? The Sea of Seven Emotions is managed by a Sect, and everything here is maintained by someone. This is private property. Didn’t you read the handbook?

Now, please come with us. You will need to pay compensation, at the very least," one of the men said.

Jiang Zuo: "..."

Su Qi: "..."
