Chapter 665: Chapter 589B – Madame Sea

Chao Yunshan’s complexion changed. A severe light flashed beneath his veneer of respect, “Senior’s cultivation is profound, so I dare not offend you. But, the matter you ask about involves secrets of the Demonic Path. If we were to reveal anything, we would find it difficult to escape a grim penalty! If senior wishes for us to die, then we will just risk our lives!”

Qin Yu coldly snorted. With a thought, armor appeared around him and the aura of the Demon Body shot into the skies.

The complexions of Chao Yunshan and the others immediately changed. Their bodies shivered as they knelt down in the air. “I greet the great lord from the Holy Land!” Whether it was the demon armor or Demon Body, neither of these things could be faked. Their faces were pale as sweat streamed down their foreheads.

Who would have thought that slaughtering a group of native cultivators would have drawn out an unexpected great figure from the Holy Land. Moreover, they had never seen him before…and from his previous question, it seemed he didn’t know anything…

Although they couldn’t figure it out, there was absolutely no mistaking Qin Yu’s high status. As Chao Yunshan thought about how he had almost offended this person, his body nearly shook like a screen.

Luckily this lord had only warned them. Otherwise, if they really did try to kill him, even if they died their deaths would only have been in vain.

“Speak.”

Chao Yunshan didn’t dare to hesitate. He completely revealed everything he knew.

Qin Yu asked several questions, his face unchanging. He already had some thoughts in his heart. It seemed that the reason he was able to escape from the Sea of Purgatory was because of this divine stone that fell from the skies.

To incite every influence within the Land of Divinity and Demons to search for it, although Chao Yunshan didn’t know what it was, it had to be extremely important.

Qin Yu fell into thought for a moment. The people that fell to their knees dared to stand up. Their complexions paled even further.

In their eyes, it seemed that Chao Yunshan had threatened this great figure. If so, was this person prepared to follow up on his actions and ‘finish’ all of them? As they thought about this, the fear in their hearts only rose. Their eyes fell on Chao Yunshan and they wished they could tear him to shreds!

You bastard, if you want to die then don’t drag us down with you?

As the minds of these people were about to collapse, Qin Yu finally collected his thoughts. Just by glancing at these people he could immediately tell what they were thinking. Without bothering to argue with them, he coldly said, “Get out!”

At this moment, these people from the Ecstasy Union Sect finally realized what it meant to be ‘saved from death’. They nearly sobbed with joy.

Chao Yunshan bowed again and again. Seeing the impatient expression on Qin Yu’s face, he quickly crawled up from the ground and led the group of cultivators to run away, soon vanishing from sight.

Qin Yu shook his head, no longer bothering with these scoundrels. He took a breath and his armor disappeared. Then, he turned and looked at Madame Sea.

Compared to the past, she appeared even more gentle and beautiful. She had changed into the clothes of a grown woman and there was a charming look in her appearance.

After several breaths of time, Qin Yu said, “It looks like you’ve already found someone you like, Little Sea.”

Madame Sea fiercely looked up. Her wide eyes were full of shock. Besides her dead husband, no one knew this name of hers.

Qin Yu smiled, “What? We haven’t seen each other for some years and you’ve already forgotten about me? Could it be that you forgot about that dark and stormy night and how you tried to give yourself to me?”

After he finished speaking he felt a bit of regret. She was already a grown woman now, so this joke seemed a little inappropriate.

Madame Sea looked at this strangely familiar face. Then, the familiar feeling began to grow. “Qin Yu…you are Qin Yu…”

Seeing Qin Yu nodded, Little Sea’s eyes quickly turned red and large tears dripped down her cheeks. She threw herself forward, hugging Qin Yu and crying in great sobbing heaves.

Although Qin Yu didn’t know what Little Sea had experienced since he left, when he heard her weeping he still felt a bitterness in his heart.

This was the little girl who had saved his life in the past!

When they left, she was still smiling happily, bringing with her a hopeful yearning for the future. But now…

He reached out and held her, patting her back. He said in a low and comforting voice, “Cry, it will feel better after you cry.”

Only when one reached the extreme of sorrow could one cry like this. Any form of comfort seemed weak and pale at this moment.

It lasted much shorter than Qin Yu imagined it would. Little Sea came out from his arms and wiped her face, her eyes a bit uneasy.

These two people had already changed. She had fallen into the mud and he hovered above the highest heavens.

Qin Yu lowered his head and looked down at his clothes that were moistened with tears. He smiled and said, “You should help me clean this up.”

Little Sea revealed a smile, but she found it hard to conceal the bitterness on her face. Then, a little girl’s crying voice emerged on the ship deck. “Mama…mama…where are you…”

Little Sea quickly turned around and picked up a little girl who had run onto the deck. She seemed about seven or eight years old and her appearance was similar to her mother’s. It was just that her skin was even more pale, making her appear more delicate.

“Hai Ya’er, why are you being disobedient? I told you not to casually come out of your room!”

The little girl grabbed onto her mother’s neck, her dark eyes full of fear. “Mama, there’s blood…so much blood…I’m scared…”

Little Sea only then noticed that the deck was drenched in blood. Her face froze and she hugged her daughter tighter.

“There’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s only a little blood. Our little Hai Ya’er is the strongest girl.”

Qin Yu took a step forward. With a flick of his sleeves, all of the corpses and blood on the deck were swept away into the sea.

He looked at the pale little girl and asked, “Little Sea, is she your daughter?”

Little Sea wiped the corners of her eyes. She turned around and said, “That’s right. Hai Ya’er, come out and greet…I actually have no idea how to address you.”

Qin Yu smiled. “Just call me Uncle Qin Yu.” He flipped his hand and a light flashed. A seven-colored jade butterfly appeared, its surface shimmering with brilliance beneath the sun. “Since this is our first time seeing each other, let me give you a meeting gift.”

Little Sea quickly shook her head. “It’s too precious, we cannot take it!”

Qin Yu shook his head. “It’s not related to you. I like this little girl. Don’t you hope that she recognizes me as her uncle?”

Faintly sensing the meaning in Qin Yu’s words, Little Sea’s eyes brightened. She hesitated for a bit and nodded, “Hai Ya’er, hurry and thank Uncle Qin Yu.”

Ha Ya’er received the jade butterfly with both hands and shakily bowed, “Ya’er thanks Uncle Qin Yu.” She blinked her eyes, a hazy look on her face. “Mama, is he really Uncle Qin Yu? How come he seems different from the picture you showed me?”

Little Sea revealed a flustered look. “Hai Ya’er, don’t be so impolite to uncle…picture…well, too much time has passed so your mother doesn’t remember too clearly.”

Qin Yu lightly sighed. He faintly smiled and said, “Hai Ya’er, the reason your uncle is so handsome now is because of my cultivation. You need to remember that if you want to become even more beautiful in the future, you must diligently cultivate, okay?”

Hai Ya’er seemed to understand and also not understand. Still, she nodded and said, “Thank you for telling me uncle…” But then her eyes darkened, “But mama said that I cannot cultivate. She just wants me to be ordinary.”

Qin Yu looked at the uneasy Little Sea. He thought for a moment and said, “Your mother’s words also make sense. Hai Ya’er is right in listening to her.” He reached out and ruffled her hair. “She really is a smart girl.”

Two maids gingerly walked out from below deck. They fell to the ground, trembling.

Little Sea coldly said, “The reason I gave her to you was so that you could look after her. Today’s events had better not occur a second time!”

“Thank you madam, thank you madam!” The two maids were excited to hear this.

Qin Yu glanced at them, his eyes faint.

Little Sea spoke some words to Hai Ya’er. The little girl bid her farewells to Qin Yu before following the two maids back below deck.

Little Sea turned around said in a relaxed voice, “This is what it is like to live adrift on the sea. If I didn’t have some methods I would have long since been eaten up by others.”

Qin Yu didn’t show approval or disapproval. He glanced around at the ship and said, “You finally returned to land after so much difficulty, so why did you decide to come back to the sea?”

Little Sea thought for a moment. She let out a breath and said, “Not everything in this world proceeds the way one wishes it to. It seems that I was mistaken in the past. Living on the sea and dying on the sea, perhaps this is my true destiny.”

She lifted a hand and brushed away her hair. She looked at the horizon and smiled once more. “I’m very happy to be able to see you again. You must stay around so I can entertain you for a couple of days.”

Qin Yu shook his head. “I can’t stay here for much longer.” When Little Sea’s face slowly darkened, he continued to say, “But I can stay for dinner. It’s been so many years but I often think back to the fish soup you made.”

Little Sea’s face lit up with brilliance. “Of course! My skills are passed down from my mother’s mother. This ship has the best fish; you will definitely like it.”

Those that lived upon the sea were used to life and death. While nearly half the sailors had been killed off, the survivors soon regained their bearings.

After raising the anchors, the ship continued to sail forward. But occasionally, people would glance up at the highest deck atop the ship and their eyes would be filled with awe.

Those that had a brush with death would easily worship powerhouses. In the eyes of the cultivators on the ship, Qin Yu was someone that stood amidst the highest heavens.

And what was even more surprising was that Madame Sea seemed to have some extraordinary connection with this formidable cultivator.

Although all sorts of ideas were percolating in their imaginations, they didn’t dare to reveal any of this at all. Rather, a feeling of awe rose in their hearts.

If it was said that they only had a superficial respect towards Madame Sea, then after today, none of them dared to even think of betraying her.

What nonsense. With this level of powerhouse as her backer, who dared to make things hard for Madame Sea!
