Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 614: Chapter 274: A Great Harvest

Are there any more enemies?!

Having faced so many dangers in the past few days, Ji Yuan instinctively thought this upon seeing the newcomer.

It wasn’t until the figure got closer and he sensed the unmistakably familiar aura that he was completely relieved, even sitting down on the spot.

“Mas… Master.”

Ji Yuan sat on the Flying Boat, looking at the tall woman who finally hovered in front of him, a slight smile forced on his lips.

Nothing else; on this journey, Ji Yuan had been constantly tense in his mind, especially during the battle of wits and courage with the old sea demon, which consumed far more energy than his earlier tangle with the Three-eyed Dark Beast.

Not to mention that Ji Yuan had also operated the Spiritual Energy Cannon to fire a gigantic firecracker.

At this moment, seeing Hua Yaoyue arrive, the tense string in Ji Yuan’s mind naturally snapped; after all, even if the sky fell, his master would help prop it up.

“Did you enter the Fallen Immortal Gully?”

Hua Yaoyue took a step forward, steadily landing on Ji Yuan’s Wind Willow Flying Boat, standing before him, steering the boat slowly westward.

Since she had already picked him up and there were no issues, there was no hurry to rush back.

“Yes, the old sea demon forcibly abducted me.”

“And where is he now?”

Hua Yaoyue stopped, and the Wind Willow Flying Boat stopped as well.

“He accidentally fell into the Fallen Immortal Gully and was blown to death by the astral winds.”

After Ji Yuan spoke, Hua Yaoyue turned and looked at him with a teasing smile.

Ji Yuan winked at her.

“Good.”

Hua Yaoyue smiled and nodded.

Suddenly, Ji Yuan seemed to remember something and quickly said, “Oh yes, Master, I discovered something major this time!”

“Oh? What’s the big news?”

Hua Yaoyue wasn’t particularly concerned. In her view, Ji Yuan’s capture was the big news; everything else was minor.

“The people in Shangxi, or rather, those from the Shang Court in Shangxi, they’ve connected with the Jiyuan Continent.”

“They plan to ally with those from Jiyuan Continent to attack Shang Dong from both the front and back!”

Ji Yuan blurted out without any hesitation.

“Jiyuan Continent?”

Hua Yaoyue’s voice finally held a trace of surprise.

“Yes!”

Ji Yuan nodded vigorously. “We talked about this before, that Situ Feng from our sect, he defected to Shangxi. This time, he was the one who came to Black Dragon Island to find the old sea demon.”

“Then he had the old sea demon go to Jiyuan Continent to make contact and bring people over quickly to act.”

After hearing this, Hua Yaoyue chuckled, “No wonder. I was wondering why the people from Shangxi mastered such strong tactics but kept feinting attacks; they were waiting for this.”

“Given her abilities, it makes sense. She can indeed make the people from Jiyuan Continent trust her.”

“And since the Shang Court contacted Jiyuan Continent, Mei Manor probably knows as well… but the Shang Dong Six Immortal Sects have no reaction at all. That’s interesting.”

Hua Yaoyue seemed intrigued.

“Let’s go, we should head back quickly.”

Hua Yaoyue finished speaking and suddenly accelerated, causing Ji Yuan’s Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact Level Spirit Boat to fly at a top-grade spiritual artifact level speed, cutting through the wind and waves toward Black Dragon Island.

“It seems you indeed have quite a connection with the Shang Court. The previous affair with the Spirit Vein was discovered by you, and now you’ve identified the connection to Jiyuan Continent… And with the old sea demon’s death, it might even buy Shang Dong a few more years of time.”

Hua Yaoyue’s voice was filled with interest.

“I can only say it was luck,” Ji Yuan laughed a bit helplessly.

“Such huge credit, you can’t take it; let your master handle it.”

“That’s how it should be.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan quickly stood up and bowed to Hua Yaoyue.

He could already imagine that if the Shangxi demons and the Shang Court people knew that he killed the old sea demon and disrupted their plans…

He would have a tough time in the future.

Just having one day of peace would be a great fortune.

Now that Hua Yaoyue was willing to bear the responsibility, it was fine.

“Don’t worry, I will secure more benefits for you.”

Ji Yuan nodded repeatedly, “Yes, I feel something is missing, like a Fixed-point Teleportation Order.”

Hua Yaoyue chuckled,

“Alright, alright, I know.”

Ji Yuan: “Hehe.”

“Once we return and this issue is exposed, the people of Shangxi will likely tear off the mask. That’s when the real demon path will attack. Make sure you’re well prepared.”

Hua Yaoyue advised.

Ji Yuan put away his smile, “Yes, Master, I will.”

“Yes, it’s dangerous, but it’s also an opportunity…” Hua Yaoyue stood at the front of the flying boat, hands clasped behind her, looking up slightly at the sky, “Ji Yuan.”

“I’m here.”

Ji Yuan could feel that Hua Yaoyue seemed to have something to say but, after a moment, couldn’t bring herself to say it.

So Ji Yuan thought for a moment and added,

“I will always be by Master’s side.”

“Hehe.”

Hua Yaoyue laughed upon hearing this.

“Your skills aren’t enough.”

A single sentence poured a bucket of cold water over Ji Yuan.

But then Hua Yaoyue continued, whether it was genuine or just comforting, she said, “I’m waiting for the day when you can help me.”

Ji Yuan replied solemnly, “Alright.”

Hua Yaoyue’s handling of the flying boat was even faster than the old sea demon’s speed.

Before long, the enormous Black Dragon Island appeared in Ji Yuan’s sight; he blinked again and was already ashore.

“Junior Brother!”
