withered prosperity

Although the sun was shining where they stood, the dark clouds hung low in the sky, and the waves above the sea were rough.

The big ship is still far away on the sea, the small boat used to connect is also docked on the coast, and the tents and boxes are still there.

It's just that no matter whether it is on the shore or at sea, half of the people are gone.

Although there are winds and waves between heaven and earth, it is strangely lifeless.

Yue Liuyi threw Ah Ying aside, and grabbed Yin Yutang who was rushing towards the boat.

"What are you doing?" She pinched Yin Yutang's veins.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Yin Yutang's eyes turned red.

"You can't even row a boat, look at the waves, isn't this going to seek death? What's more..." Yue Liuyi turned her head and looked forward. "Isn't Pavilion Master Yun here, and you still need to rush ahead?"

Yun Ji stood on the shore, looking at the ships from afar as they tossed and rolled with the waves.

Among the waves, it seemed that someone was whispering in his ear, calling his name softly... When he listened carefully, there was no more.

For some reason, I suddenly became irritable.

He took a deep breath, threw away these unreasonable anxieties, and strode out.

The sea was originally not calm, but a scene of a stormy future.

But miraculously, after Yun Ji set foot on the sea, the sky became slightly brighter, and the wind and waves softened a lot.

A beam of sunlight cast down from the broken cloud, just covering his body.

With his long hair flying, he stood out of nowhere on the seawater, his clothes fluttering in the wind, like a fairy flying away on the clouds.

Yue Liuyi couldn't help sighing, thinking that it was Yun Ji, who was so charming, that made Yue Cuiwei so infatuated all these years.

"He, he, he..." Yin Yutang, who also saw this scene, couldn't finish his sentence.

"Yin Twelve, you have to remember clearly, he is no longer a 'mortal' like you and me." Yue Liuyi deliberately emphasized the word mortal: "Next, we must..."

She made the words "extremely careful" with lip shapes.

Yun Ji took a single step and the distance was tens of feet, and within a few steps, he had already boarded the largest sea boat.

Yin Yutang was flustered, and when he saw Wei Heng pushing the boat into the sea, he hurried to help.

Wei Heng and Yin Twelve worked together to push the boat into the sea. Before he boarded the boat, he glanced back at Yue Liuyi, who pursed his lips, mentioned Ah Ying and followed.

Because the wind and waves became weaker, they arrived at the side of the big ship smoothly.

"I'll go up and have a look first." Yue Liuyi threw Ah Ying on Wei Heng.

The hull of the boat is extremely high, and there is no vertical rope ladder to get down, so it is difficult to climb up without martial arts.

Wei Heng didn't stop her, but silently took out something wrapped in an oilcloth from his arms and gave it to her.

Yue Liuyi took it and opened it, only to find a bottle containing pills inside.

She recognized it at a glance. It took Wei Heng several months to prepare the medicine before he left home. It used very precious materials, and it could be saved even if he was seriously injured and dying.

"You eat first." Wei Heng lowered his head, avoiding her sight. "Your hands...have to be rebandaged."

Yue Liuyi nodded, poured out a grain and ate it with his head up, returned the rest including the bottle, turned around and jumped onto the boat by stepping on the protruding wedge.

When Yueliu hung her clothes on the side of the boat and poked her head out, she happened to see Yun Ji confronting someone she had never seen before on the deck.

They were two women, about seventeen or eighteen years old, not only had the same appearance, but they were wearing the same clothes, but one was smiling and the other was icy cold. They were twin sisters.

"So Pavilion Master Yun, have you already killed my cousin?" The smiling woman opened her mouth first, with a delicate voice: "If the elders ask me back, we sisters will not be able to explain it!"

"You..." Yun Ji paused for a moment, as if listening attentively, with an increasingly impatient expression on his face, and then asked: "There is an ancestral hall on the mountain behind the old house in Xiangzhou, what is enshrined in it? "

The woman's smile froze for a moment, but she continued to smile again in a blink of an eye.

"Master Yun, Chaomu Pavilion and our family have always lived in peace, why are you so tense when you meet us now? All the sisters in our family admire the Pavilion Master very much in private, especially me and my younger sister Mu Ying." She said. Deliberately looked at the expressionless and glamorous beauty beside him: "We have special admiration for the pavilion master, if we can kiss Fangze..."

"Mu Jing, I just want to fight swords with him, don't make it sound like I want to sleep with him." Mu Ying with a stern expression interrupted her.

"I thought about it!" Mu Jing lowered her head and smiled shyly: "Master Yun is such a peerless beauty, if I can kiss Fangze, I will die in peace."

"Sleep after the competition, otherwise the comparison will fail."

"Okay then, be gentle, don't break him..."

Yue Liuyi felt that let alone Yun Ji, even she couldn't listen anymore.

"You two shameless little sluts, I don't know where you came from." She turned over and sat on the side of the boat: "Why don't you understand any shame, talk nonsense in front of Master Yun, this little life is Don't want it!"

"Hey! Mu Ying, look quickly, this one-handed old woman is so fierce!" Mu Jing giggled: "She scolded us! You go and cut off her tongue."

"She is right, you are a shameless little bitch." Mu Ying ignored her and walked towards Yunji: "I heard that you are the best swordsman in the world, I want to fight with you Don't worry, it's just an ordinary sword competition, I will be merciful."

She beckoned, and someone threw two swords to her immediately behind her, and she caught them and threw one to Yunji.

Yun Ji stretched out his hand, but instead of catching it, he bent his fingertips and tapped it lightly, and the sword was struck into several sections in mid-air with the sheath attached.

"Okay!" Mu Ying's eyes lit up: "Among mortals who have this level of skill, it is indeed worth fighting."

Then she threw away the sword in her hand, pointed it into a sword, and drew a sword energy, heading straight for Yun Ji...

"Hmph! What a sickness! What kind of sword is it?" Mu Jing rolled her eyes, and asked Yue Liuyi, "I said ugly, did you bring anything from the island..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly turned her head away vigilantly.

I only saw that Mu Ying was held in the air by Yun Ji's neck at this very moment.

"Mu Ying!" A long whip appeared in her hand at some point, evoking countless afterimages and pulling towards Yunji.

Yue Liuyi weighed in on the side, thinking that he might not be able to handle it, but he was glad he didn't fight her.

But now...

Yun Ji stretched out his hand to grab the whip, and he caught the whip in his hand.

"I'm not in the mood to play with you." He said to Mu Ying, "Go back and tell Mu Wanli that I will definitely conquer Lingyun Mansion someday and let him wait for me in Xiangzhou!

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and threw Mu Ying out.

Mu Ying turned somersaults in mid-air, but stopped when she landed, but her face was full of surprise and uncertainty.

"Master Yun Pavilion, you are amazing." Mu Jing licked his lips: "I want to sleep with you even more..."

"Mu Jing, he's weird!" Mu Ying hastily reminded her.

"Isn't that just right, let me take a closer look, what's so weird?" Mu Jing pretended to look him up carefully, and then said with a smile: "Master Yun, you look so good-looking, I've seen it before. The most beautiful person! Listen to it, your heart is beating all the time!"

But unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to touch Yun Ji's back scale.

He was just a little impatient at first, but after hearing this sentence, his face suddenly changed.

Become cold and frightening.

Mu Jing stared at him, and shivered uncontrollably.

She finally realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously put away her smile.

"I heard it." Yun Ji suddenly said in a low voice.

"Mu Jing!" Mu Ying suddenly stomped her foot.

When Mu Jing turned his wrist, the whip wrapped around Yun Ji's palm suddenly extended, trying to bind his arms and even his whole body.

At the same time, the deck behind Yunji suddenly cracked, and several thick vines shot out from the middle, swarming towards Yunji.

Yun Ji didn't even look back.

The moment those vines were about to touch him, a group of silver-white flames suddenly appeared behind him.

The flame spread out like wings and then retracted, swallowing those vines violently.

Mu Ying let out a scream and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Mu Jing hastily let go of the whip, and saw that the whip quickly turned into ashes.

A gust of wind blows, the ashes are scattered everywhere, and suddenly nothing exists anymore.

The silver-white flame gathered into a ball, hovering over Yun Ji's shoulder.

The two sisters exchanged a look, and fled to the left and right, as if they wanted to separate and escape.

Just as Mu Jing stepped onto the side of the ship, she found Yun Ji appearing in the mid-air ahead.

Terrified, she hurriedly put her fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly.

Countless thorns emerged from the sea water, quickly climbing up along the hull, forming a solid barrier between her and Yun Ji.

"You're not Yunji! You're not a mortal...you!" She calmed down a little, and asked forward, "What kind of monster are you?"

But there is no shadow of Yun Ji in front of him.

She felt a chill in her back, turned her head, but saw her heart.

Own, beating heart.

She looked down at her chest and saw a large hole there.

"you……"

The heart in Yun Ji's hand was still beating, he lifted it up slightly, and the silver-white flame rushed over quickly, burning up the heart with blood in an instant.

His hands were clean and dry in an instant, leaving no marks at all.

He put his fingers together, and said to Mu Jing: "I don't like to hear others praise me for being good-looking, only..."

Only... who?

Yun Ji was stunned because of what he subconsciously wanted to say.

Taking advantage of his dazed effort, those thorns wrapped Mu Jing up, dragged him into the bottom of the sea, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Yun Ji stood on the side of the boat in a daze, while Yue Liuyi had already put down the rope ladder on the other side, allowing Wei Heng and Yin Yutang who stayed below to climb up.

As soon as Yin Yutang boarded the boat, he ran to the cabin.

Yue Liuyi took Ah Ying and went to pull Weiheng.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Yun Ji's foot slipped, if it wasn't for the flames stretching out to support him from behind, he would almost fall on his back.

"What's the matter?" She was startled, pulled Wei Heng up and ran over in a hurry. "Did you get hurt by those two little sluts?"

She could see clearly that the methods used by the two girls of the Mu family were obviously very unusual.

"Maybe I'm a little tired." Yun Ji pressed his forehead: "The people on the boat should be fine, they just fell asleep."

"That's good!" Yue Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Then you go back to your room to rest, let's go and see those people, and if there is nothing wrong, we will return immediately."

"Doctor Wei, come and have a look." Yin Yutang ran out from the cabin and called out.

"Definitely call us to see Qiu Lanyu." Yue Liuyi pulled Wei Heng away: "Let's go see him first."

Yun Ji, who was left alone on the deck, stood for a while, and then slowly walked back to his cabin following his memory.

Pushing open the door, he was stunned for a while before stepping in.

There is still a very faint smell in the air... it is this smell.

Following the smell, he walked to the bedside.

On the head of the bed, there was a neatly folded... red...

He stretched out his hand and took the top piece of red veil in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then slowly lowered his head and approached it.

So fragrant...
