NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1392: The Holy Daughter Enters the Territory!
Hearing this, Si Lanyue's expression froze.
She was certainly aware of the risks Zhou Yu would face if he decided to help her.
Yet she couldn't offer anything that would appeal to Zhou Yu at the moment.
Si Lanyue bit her lip lightly, as if making some kind of decision, and then said:
"Zhou Yu, if you are willing to help me, I am willing... to give myself to you!"
"I... I am still... a virgin!"
After speaking, a blush instantly spread across Si Lanyue's face.
A usually cold woman speaking such words in earnest was an incredibly tempting scene.
"Ahem, ahem..."
Zhou Yu gave an embarrassed cough.
"Uh, that was just a joke."
"I'll help you, no need for that..."
Si Lanyue's expression paused.
"Is what you said true?"
Zhou Yu's expression returned to normal, and he said:
"Of course."
"However, there is something I need your help with!"
"Tell me." Si Lanyue quickly replied.
"I'm looking for a decent sword, could you keep an eye out for me?"
At these words, Si Lanyue paused.
"Sword?"
"You also use a sword?"
Si Lanyue recalled that the information about Zhou Yu didn't indicate he was a Sword Cultivator.
Zhou Yu smiled slightly and said:
"The old man once told me that all weapons in the world share the same essence."
"Using a knife or a sword is essentially the same, one shouldn't be too fixated on the weapon itself."
"Besides, I've recently gained some insights into Sword Dao, so I want to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, Si Lanyue had a peculiar look.
What did it mean to share the same essence? Her mentor never spoke of such things.
Her mentor taught her from a young age that Sword Dao is different from other Martial Arts; one needs a sincere heart, to live a lifetime alongside the sword, transforming it into part of one's body, even part of one's soul...
She'd heard such words countless times.
In her mind, Sword Dao is Sword Dao, Martial Arts is Martial Arts, they are completely different things.
Such ideas were deeply rooted.
Besides, can one just switch paths in Martial Arts at any time?
Even though Si Lanyue was quite puzzled, Zhou Yu's request wasn't difficult for her.
Si Lanyue immediately agreed to help.
After discussing things with Zhou Yu, Si Lanyue noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, Zhou Yu, I'll head back first; I need to inform my mentor about this."
"Alright."
After sending Si Lanyue off, Zhou Yu returned to the hotel himself.
...
Meanwhile.
On the eastern seas of Dragon Country.
In the dark of night, a ship was sailing towards the sea boundary of Dragon Country.
A woman dressed in white samurai attire stood at the bow of the ship, the fierce sea breeze tugging at her garments.
Yet she remained steadfast.
Behind her stood three elderly men.
Despite each of these three elderly men being less than 1.7 meters tall, the aura around them was intensely strong, imposing a tremendous pressure.
All three were Emperor Realm Martial Artists.
Suddenly, a chilling voice came from above the dark sea.
"Emperor Realm Martial Artists are prohibited from entering Dragon Country waters."
"Retreat, or die!"
Upon hearing this voice, the woman and the three Emperor Realm elders all looked upward in unison.
A middle-aged man dressed in armor stood in the air above, his expression cold.
The appearance of this middle-aged man seemed expected by the three Emperor Realm elders.
One of them immediately stepped forward and said:
"We represent the Royal Family of the Red Sun Empire, particularly escorting the Holy Daughter into Dragon Country for training."
"This is the entry permit."
After speaking, the elder retrieved a scroll from his robes and tossed it up.
In the sky, the middle-aged man caught the scroll, glanced at it, then slightly squinted his eyes, directing his gaze towards the Holy Daughter at the bow.
"So you are the Red Sun Saintess, Qianye Hui?"
The woman at the bow graciously bowed and said:
"I am."
The middle-aged man nodded, then put away the scroll and said:
"The Holy Daughter may enter, the others must return."
Upon hearing this, the three Emperor Realm elders immediately said:
"Thank you, sir."
Then, the three looked at the Holy Daughter Qianye Hui and said:
"Holy Daughter, we can only escort you this far."
"We hope everything goes smoothly for you in Dragon Country."
Qianye Hui bowed slightly.
Then, with a swift motion, she stepped into the air and headed straight for Dragon Country.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man guarding the sea in the sky had a deep look in his eyes.
"Unexpectedly, such a genius emerged from that tiny country."
"The Martial Arts World of Dragon Country is likely to be in turmoil once again."
...
Capital City, Heavenly King Sea!
Inside a simply-furnished office.
An elderly man with a cold demeanor was sipping tea in the office.
Then, a young man in his thirties walked in quickly.
"Sir, we've just received word from the eastern sea border; the new generation Holy Daughter of the Red Sun Empire has crossed the sea boundary and entered Dragon Country for trial."
"According to the border guard, her cultivation has reached the Fifth Grade King Realm."
The elder's expression remained indifferent, only showing a slight smile in his eyes.
"Oh?"
"After so many years, the Red Sun Empire finally has a genius again."
"Sir, do you also think this girl's talent is extraordinary?"
"If that's the case, I'd like to give it a try."
Upon hearing this, the elder chuckled softly.
"This girl practices Sword Dao; Wang Sui will naturally seek her out."
"Yun, you don't need to go; there may be more important matters requiring your attention."
The young man was Xia Houyun.
Upon hearing the elder's words, Xia Houyun felt a flutter in his heart.
"Sir, are you referring to Zhou Yu?"
The elder's eyes slightly narrowed, and a cold gleam appeared.
Xia Houyun trembled slightly, immediately bowed, and said:
"Sir, I... will excuse myself now."
"Yes."
The elder responded flatly.
"You'll be informed when it's time to act, no need to rush."
Xia Houyun quickly bowed and exited the room.
