Chapter 627 - The Leader of Ink Feather

The moment Nangong Yi walked out, someone came over and said to him respectfully, “Young Master, the leader wants you to see him immediately.”

Nangong Yi curled his fingers by his side and nodded without changing his expression. He followed this person forward. The leader lived in a large semicircular building. The building was filled with high-tech decorations that weren’t available in this world.

Nangong Yi followed the person who led the way into the hall.

In the living room sat an unusually strong middle-aged man with scales on his forehead.

This man was the leader of Ink Feather.

“Father,” Nangong Yi greeted respectfully. The leader looked at Nangong Yi with a displeased expression. “I heard that you took that woman away?”.

“Yes.” Nangong Yi looked up at the leader with a calm expression.

The leader’s expression darkened.

In the next second, he pointed at Nangong Yi. His phone quickly turned into a weapon and a laser-like thing shot towards Nangong Yi’s chest.

“Ooh…”

Nangong Yi’s body shook and pain flashed across his face. He instinctively wanted to cover the spot where he had been shot, but in the end, he restrained himself.

The leader asked, “Do you know what you did wrong?”

“Father, I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“How dare you refute me!”

The leader wanted to teach him a lesson again.

Nangong Yi stood there tall and straight. He stared at the leader and said, “Didn’t Father want the child in her stomach to be experimented on? She’s awake now. If we still lock her there, she might use her abilities to do something. When the time comes, the child will be the one who gets injured.

“I brought her to my place to calm her down because at least she was familiar with me.

“This way, after the fetus in her stomach grows for a few months, Father will be able to get someone to remove the fetus.”

The leader thought about what he said and felt that it made sense. He said, “The fetus in her stomach will be taken out as soon as it takes shape. Kill her yourself when the time comes.”

Nangong Yi lowered his eyes and replied respectfully, “Yes.”

Chu Luo waited for the door to be closed before standing up from her chair.

She didn’t take a bath immediately. Instead, she searched her body.

Not only did she not find her Heaven-and-Earth pouch, but she also didn’t find Snowball.

Chu Luo tried her best to control her increasingly heavy mood. She raised her hand and glanced at her arm. The phoenix mark on it finally made her heave a sigh of relief. She called out in her mind, “Phoenix.”

After a few seconds, the phoenix mark on her arm flashed.

Phoenix’s voice sounded in her mind. “Mistress.” Chu Luo was delighted and quickly asked, “Can you feel where Yan is and if he’s okay?” Phoenix sensed it and said, “Sorry, Mistress. There is a very powerful magnetic field here. I can only sense things within ten meters.” When Chu Luo heard this, her heart sank and her body shook. Phoenix quickly said, “Mistress, your emotions will be transmitted to Little Mistress or Master.”

Chu Luo looked down at her flat stomach and bit her lips.

Phoenix added, “But the Phoenix power I left in the king’s body hasn’t disappeared.”

Chu Luo was delighted to hear that, for it meant Li Yan was still alive.

Only then did she walk towards the bathtub. No matter what, she couldn’t let anything happen to their child. No matter if Li Yan and the others were on this island or if anything had happened to them, she had to find a way to find them.

After Chu Luo took a bath, there was a knock on the door.

She walked over to open the door.

Nangong Yi, who was standing outside the door, was holding a tray with some fruits that Chu Luo had never seen before.

Nangong Yi smiled and said to her, “Junior, these fruits are unique to this island. They’re very nourishing to the body, and they’re especially good for the baby’s growth. I got someone to pluck some. Try them.”

Chu Luo looked at him warily.

Nangong Yi didn’t seem to notice the vigilance in her eyes and walked in.

“Stop right there.” Chu Luo stopped him with a cold expression.

Nangong Yi looked at Chu Luo’s tense face and compromised. “Alright, I won’t go in. But you have to eat more fruit since you’re pregnant. This is good for the baby.”

After saying that, he handed her the tray.

Chu Luo didn’t take it.

“Are you worried that these fruits are poisonous?” Nangong Yi chuckled and said, “You have such good medical skills. You should be able to distinguish all the poisons. If you’re still worried, I can eat one first.”

Chu Luo stared at Nangong Yi and said, “Previously, Earl Adrian said that your leader isn’t an Earthling. Moreover, there are poisons that Earthlings can’t cure. I’ve seen that kind of poison before. Do you think I will believe

you?”

When Nangong Yi heard this, he fell silent.

Chu Luo subconsciously gathered some power in her hand and prepared to knock him out before leaving

Nangong Yi stared at her hand and suddenly replied, “Junior is right. My father is indeed not from Earth. I reminded you on the wine bottle previously.”

Chu Luo frowned.

Nangong Yi continued, “You shouldn’t have gone to France. If you had stayed in the empire, my father wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you.”

Actually, what Nangong Yi said was the truth, but since the people around her had been injured one by one, Chu Luo couldn’t ignore it.

Chu Luo looked at him. “Why are you telling me this?”

Nangong Yi smiled at her. “Because I’m your senior.”

Chu Luo pulled a long face and said coldly, “Do you think I’ll still believe you after knowing that you’re in Ink Feather?”

“No.” Nangong Yi knew his limits. “But you can only believe me now.”

“You…” When Chu Luo heard this, she was especially angry. She raised her hand and slapped his chest.

Clang!

Pfft!

Nangong Yi took a few steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, intense pain flashed across his face.

These expressions only appeared on his face for a few seconds. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corners of his lips and put away the pain. He said, “Junior, you feel it too. After coming here, you can’t use those abilities. There are many high-tech technologies here that you don’t know. These high-tech technologies can block special abilities. You’d better not walk around, or you’ll be injured.”

After saying that, he picked up the tray and fruits on the ground and said, “Rest first. I’ll get you some more fruit later.” He left after picking up the fruits.

Chu Luo looked at his departing back and turned to enter the room.

After Nangong Yi walked for a while, he said to the side, “Watch her carefully. Don’t let her walk out of here.” With that, he left.

The day passed quickly. As soon as the sky darkened, a kind of floating lamp lit up the island.

There was only one such lamp that illuminated all places.

If it weren’t for the fact that she could see the stars in the sky when she looked up, Chu Luo would really think that there was no day or night here.

She had originally planned to go out and scout after dark. In this situation, there was no need to wait for the sky to darken. Chu Luo asked Phoenix to sense if anyone was ten meters away before walking out from the back.

The buildings inside were like Mongolian yurts[1], but the building materials here were different from Mongolian yurts.

There was a distance of about half a kilometer between each building. There were many palm trees planted in the middle. Under the palm trees, there was a pillar at a certain distance. The pillars were silver-white.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When Chu Luo saw the pillars, she was still wondering what they were used for.

She found out when she saw them turn into robots.

“Discovered non-native humans. Capture them and throw them into jail.”

At the mention of jail, an idea came to Chu Luo. She wanted to go there to take a look. Li Yan and the others might be locked up there.

With this thought, she didn’t resist and waited for these robots to take her away.

However, at that moment, an order came from behind her. “Everyone, retreat.”

The robot received the order and returned to its original place, where it became a pillar again.

Chu Luo turned to look at Nangong Yi, who was standing there with a helpless expression.

Nangong Yi walked up to Chu Luo and sized her up before saying, “Junior, I said that you can’t leave the vicinity of your residence, or it will be dangerous.”

After saying that, he gestured for her to go back.

Although Chu Luo was a little indignant, she still followed him back to where she stayed. Nangong Yi sent her to the door and said, “Junior, it’s late. Rest early.” With that, he turned to leave.

“Senior,” Chu Luo stopped him.

Nangong Yi stopped and turned around. “What is it, Junior?”

“Is Yan still alive?”

Nangong Yi stared into her big eyes and didn’t say anything Chu Luo looked at him and asked again, unwilling to give up, “Are Third Master Sun, Sun Tianhao and Taozi still alive?”

Nangong Yi was silent for a while before saying, “Junior, the most important thing for you now is to recuperate.”

With that, he left.

Chu Luo clenched her fists indignantly. Did he think that if he didn’t tell her, she really wouldn’t be able to find it herself?

At the thought of this, she looked at the silver pillars in the distance and a glint flashed across her eyes.

The next day, when Chu Luo saw Nangong Yi, she said, “I want some tools?”

Nangong Yi looked at her as if he had read her mind.

Chu Luo told him about the tools she wanted.

Nangong Yi didn’t agree to her request and left. However, at lunch, when he sent her lunch, he also sent her the tools she wanted.

The leader quickly found out about this and fired at him as soon as he called him over.

Pfft!

“Ooh…” Nangong Yi staggered and retreated a few steps before stabilizing himself.

The leader looked at him in displeasure. “Are you too fond of that woman? Who asked you to give her those tools?”
