325 The Fox Race’s Saintess
Hu Yiyi was very nervous.
It had been many, many years since such major incidents had occurred, but it seems that trouble came in twos.
A year earlier, two uninvited guests arrived at the Ancient God Sea, and now, a giant flying ship full of people had shown up. From what they could tell, there were many powerful cultivators on the flying ship.
“I’ve got to do my best to buy time. As long as the ancestor arrives, everything will be solved.”
She was accompanied by a group of guards. As they got closer, they could see the flying ship in more detail. It seemed even more immense, and the sense of pressure and dread they felt intensified.
“How did we end up running into such a powerful race while hiding here?”
“Without the ancestor, we’re doomed.”
Hu Yiyi was extremely worried.
Then, she saw something unexpected.
There was a small boat floating on the surface of the Ancient God Sea.
A man was sitting on the bow of the boat. Next to him was one of the members of the powerful race from the flying ship.
What was going on?
“Who is he and what is he doing?”
More so than the powerful cultivator, Hu Yiyi was more curious about Yuchi’s identity.
She turned to look at the guards behind her.
The guards also shook their heads, indicating that they did not know who he was or what was going on.
Everyone was extremely nervous.
“I can only bite the bullet and engage them.”
Hu Yiyi took a deep breath and steeled herself.
When Hu Yiyi and her entourage arrived, the man from the dragon-phoenix race finally shrugged his shoulders helplessly at Yuchi.
“Didn’t I say that you didn’t have to hide anything from us. Just look, even though you refused to tell me what I wanted to know, your people have already arrived. Doesn’t this whole debacle make you feel awkward?”
“You should stop pretending already. End this farce. Any more and you’ll be disrespecting our race. I’ll have you know that we’ll go to great lengths to protect our dignity.”
Why was this boatman still pretending?
His people had already arrived.
Was there a need?
While this man was talking to Yuchi, one of the guards recognized Yuchi, and whispered to Hu Yiyi, “I seem to recall that he was the one who came to our race’s territory a year ago.”
Hu Yiyi clenched her fists slightly.
She thought to herself, ‘That makes sense, since there aren’t many people who would come by this area. What is he doing in the Ancient God Sea? Is he looking for something? Is that a fishing rod in his hand?’
Heavens!
What was going through this man’s mind?
Could he not read the situation?
