God of Slaughter

Chapter 124 - Here, On This Ship, You Are My Girl!

The next morning.

Shi Yan slowly opened his eyes. He felt full of energy and his eyes shone with light.

After cultivating for an entire night, Shi Yan felt refreshed. It seemed that, after all the disasters he went through lately, his state of mind had somehow changed.

His mind’s power erupted and wandered around the lowest deck of the iron ship…

His mind moved through the air and touched many flower pots. He estimated that there were roughly a hundred flower pots on this level, with the smaller ones only being palm-sized, but the bigger ones being basin-sized.

His mind slowly spread to the middle deck.

Suddenly, waves of different mental energies seeped through and hurtled towards Shi Yan’s mind.

Shi Yan’s face changed, and he quickly withdrew his power as he immediately realized that there were many Disaster realm warriors on the upper decks.

Many of these warriors had very forceful mind powers. They were like powerful giant waves, with fierce strength behind them.

Earth realm!

Shi Yan gasped. He quickly realized those strong responses were from the minds of Earth realm warriors. There were a couple dozens of these warriors on the middle deck, which put a bit of fear in Shi Yan’s heart.

“The Disaster realm is different than the realms that go before it. When cultivating, you need to gain experience. Only if you experience different dangers and live through all kinds of different challenges, gaining insight from them, can you breakthrough to the next stage.”

Apparently Xia Xinyan was already awake. She glanced at him and spoke indifferently, “In the Disaster realm, just having the most vigorous Profound Qi itself is no use. Even if you go back to the Yang family and take some elixirs, without the support of a strong mind, it would be hard for you to breakthrough quickly.”

Shi Yan also noticed the difference in this realm as he nodded and said, “Hmm, it seems that sometimes danger isn’t always a bad thing.”

“I have a feeling that, once my body recovers, I should be able to step into the Earth realm. Lately, I’ve experienced many things, and these experiences are enough for me to take a whole step forward.” Xia Xinyan’s eyes were glistening with light.

“The Earth realm?” Shi Yan grinned, and he chuckled, “Doesn’t that mean it will be a lot harder for me to catch up to you?”

Xia Xinyan didn’t bother to pay attention to him, she quietly snorted and slowly got down from the bed.

“You two, get up and start working.” A crisp voice came from the stairs that lead up to the higher decks. Soon a seventeen to eighteen year old girl, with bristling eyebrows, appeared at the door and pointed to Shi Yan, saying, “You, go carry these flower pots up to the deck. The woman will be responsible for cleaning this level. There will be no food or water for you if you don’t finish these duties.”

Then with a “kata-kata” sound, the girl went upstairs. She spent as little time down here as possible.

“Let’s go work.” Shi Yan smiled, “There’s no such thing as a free feast in this world. It seems that it won’t be easy for us along the way. Xinyan, if you can’t handle it, I can help you a little after I’m finished with my work..”

“There’s no need.” Xia Xinyan coldly replied, “You should be careful yourself. Don’t get caught by the gay guys.”

Shi Yan’s expression darkened, and he spoke angrily, “Are you intending to piss me off?”

Xia Xinyan rolled her eyes, and as if she felt delighted, she said dismissively, “I’m just reminding you to be careful, which is for your own good. You’re so ungrateful.”

Shi Yan snorted, stopped arguing with her, and started carrying the flower pots.

Time passed quickly.

With the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

In these ten days, every morning, after he got up, Shi Yan would carry the flower pots from this level to the deck. Then, after the sun set, he would carry the flower pots back. He repeated this every day.

Xia Xinyan was the same, she worked downstairs during the day, clumsily cleaning the dust on this level.

During these ten days, whenever Shi Yan finished his work, he would go down and help her clean the dust and the filthy objects.

Slowly, Xia Xinyan stopped being cold to Shi Yan. Sometimes when she talked to him, she would even give him a rare smile. It made Shi Yan feel warmth in his heart, and he wouldn’t feel dull in these days at all.

Everyday, after the two finished their work, that girl named Xiao Feng would bring food and water to them.
