Chapter 400 - 341: Star Sea Domain, The Might of a Calamity

By the pool, a young girl in a long, emerald-green dress stood with a delicate and pretty face. It was impossible to tell what her true nature was.

Xu Chang’an’s eyes lit up.

“Greetings!”

Xu Chang’an stood behind the young girl, keeping a respectful distance as he greeted her with considerable excitement.

Hearing his greeting, the young girl turned her head and looked at him, a confused expression on her face.

“Gr… Greetings!”

“What are you doing here?”

Xu Chang’an was just making small talk, asking the question casually.

“Look at that!”

A hint of excitement crept onto the young girl’s face as she spoke.

She pointed to the pool before them, where a school of fish swam about freely and cheerfully.

The fish were entirely emerald green with perfectly uniform scales. They looked to be filled with Spirituality.

“When I first boarded the Spiritual Ship, they were just a school of fry. But now… look, they’re all so big!”

Xu Chang’an took a good look at the emerald fish in the pool.

They were brimming with energy and full of vitality.

“This is life itself!”

“Life!?”

The young girl was taken aback by Xu Chang’an’s answer.

“Yes! The greatness of life is difficult to fathom, even for those of us who have cultivated for many years! It can grow from immaturity to maturity, from weakness to strength!”

“I see!”

The young girl looked as though she’d had a realization.

“Oh, by the way, fellow cultivator. My name is Lü Yi. What’s your name?”

“Greetings, Lü Yi. I’m Grey Rat!”

“Greetings, Grey Rat!”

Having not interacted with anyone for a long time, Xu Chang’an was eager to talk, a far cry from his usual cold and aloof demeanor.

The two Demons exchanged pleasantries, gradually growing more comfortable with each other.

Eventually, their conversation drifted to the Demon Fiends on the Spiritual Ship.

For instance, the two Qinyuan Level Demon Fiends on the Spiritual Ship: Elder Changsun and Elder Ha Li.

Both elders had become famous countless years ago, possessing extraordinary combat prowess.

Not long ago, Elder Ha Li had slain over a thousand members of the Tribulation Cultivating Demon Race with a single strike—a truly brilliant achievement.

Elder Changsun, similarly, had a formidable record of his own.

His, however, wasn’t from this mission. Over three thousand years ago, Elder Changsun single-handedly fought more than twenty members of the Harmonization Demon Race.

In the end, Elder Changsun emerged completely unscathed, while all twenty-plus members of the Harmonization Demon Race were slain.

Besides the two Qinyuan Level Demon Fiends, the Spiritual Ship housed many other powerhouses.

Such as the Five Brothers of the Snow-Patterned Cyan Gang Demon Slaughter and Guardian Yama Ghost.

In their exchange, besides discussing such powerhouses, the two Demons also touched upon matters concerning the Blood Corpse Commerce.

“The Blood Corpse Commerce is divided into three major factions? What do you mean by that?”

Xu Chang’an, who had been in seclusion for years with no access to news, asked with curiosity.

“Mhm. The two vice-presidents and the Young Master Blood Corpse form the cores of the three groups. Each has rallied a faction of the commerce’s forces to their side.”

“I see!”

Xu Chang’an nodded to himself.

‘If even Demon Fiends like us know about this, it seems the three factions are practically at each other’s throats.’

According to Lü Yi, the struggle between the commerce’s three factions was gradually becoming more open.

For now, things hadn’t escalated.

But only because the dangers of the journey forced all three sides to exercise restraint.

“Be careful on the Spiritual Ship, Grey Rat. You don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.”

“Right. Thanks for the heads-up.”

Xu Chang’an nodded.

‘Logically, the internal strife of the Blood Corpse Commerce shouldn’t affect them.’

‘But anything was possible, so it was hard to say for sure.’

The two Demons talked for a long time, and Xu Chang’an learned a great deal.

It also did much to alleviate the loneliness he felt after years of silence.

“Lü Yi, I have some other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.”

Xu Chang’an said with a smile, giving a slight bow.

“Oh, okay. Farewell then!”

Lü Yi nodded repeatedly.

‘She had a rather good impression of the young man before her; he had an exceptional air about him.’

“Until we meet again!”

With that, Xu Chang’an turned and left.

Lü Yi watched Xu Chang’an depart, then squatted down once more to observe the Spirit Fish in the pool.

But after watching for a moment, she found they weren’t as interesting as before.

‘This is boring. I’m leaving.’

With a sigh, Lü Yi also left.

She wound her way through the ship until she arrived at a pavilion.

Inside the pavilion stood an exquisitely beautiful woman in a palace-style gown.

From the surrounding pavilions, numerous Demon Fiends were secretly watching them.

“Xianyi, I just met a very interesting cultivator over by the pool.”

Lü Yi said with a smile, walking to the side of the woman in the palace gown.

“He was so gentle and well-spoken, with such a nice air about him!”

Lü Yi chattered on.

It was simply her nature to be optimistic and cheerful.

The woman in the palace gown remained silent, simply listening quietly as Lü Yi spoke.

Lü Yi didn’t mind.

She had met this friend by chance here on the Spiritual Ship.

They had interacted enough for her to have a good sense of her friend’s personality.

Cool and aloof, with a cold and stunning beauty; a woman of few words.

“Quick, look!”

“What?”

“It’s Fairy Xianyi!”

“Where? Where?!”

“Right there!”

“Her aura really is otherworldly, and her cold beauty is unmatched! What a stunning Fairy!”

“…”

The faint murmur of discussion drifted over from the surrounding pavilions.

Lü Yi stole a glance at the woman in the palace gown beside her and playfully stuck out her tongue.

‘This friend of hers really is completely unfazed by it all.’

Chu Xianyi!

In recent years, she had gradually gained a reputation as the number one Fairy on the Spiritual Ship.

Even Honglan Fairy, Fairy Yu Jia, and Xiao Rong Fairy could hardly compare to her.

But she had never seemed to care.

She was like a Celestial Snow Lotus, standing aloof from the mortal world—noble and coldly beautiful, an object of desire for Demons that was forever out of reach.

Her beauty was enough to stir the hearts of even the most renowned Ji Meng Level Demon Fiends.

Knowing Lü Yi was on good terms with Chu Xianyi, one Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend had even approached her directly.

He wanted her to play matchmaker!
