Chapter 1688: Chapter 1688: Here, I Call the Shots
“What is… that?”
Su Tang was stunned for a good while before he regained his senses and asked Zhan Beiye.
What was that gigantic Stone Palm? He had followed Zhan Beiye and An Jiuyue here, encountering countless dangers along the way, yet he had never seen such a colossal palm before.
“Don’t ask me, I don’t know either,” Zhan Beiye shook his head.
How would he know what that was? Besides, what did it matter? It wasn’t an enemy, and it had even saved Qian Jiyun and his wife, hadn’t it?
“You stay here, I’ll go and fetch… them.”
The words came out hesitantly, and then he saw Qian Jiyun’s figure, drifting toward them like a breeze, not far away.
An Jiuyue was in his arms, and both of them were safe and sound.
“It’s good that you’re alright; you scared me to death!”
He exhaled deeply. When the two had fallen from the peak of Jade Cloud Mountain, he had nearly had a heart attack, so much danger!
“Prince Qian, the Cold Soul Flower Core…”
What Su Tang was most concerned about was the Cold Soul Flower Core. Seeing that the two were unharmed, he started to inquire.
“We got it.”
Qian Jiyun replied as he set An Jiuyue down.
“Hoo!”
Su Tang let out a deep breath in relief.
As long as the Cold Soul Flower Core was secured, all was well. With that, their journey to the Zhedu Sea Area concluded successfully.
“So, do we head back first? Or…”
He turned his head to glance at Xiang Qiyan, who was still unconscious in bed and guarded by the servants and Paper Person, then turned back to ask them.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue exchanged glances. An Jiuyue spoke up.
“There are too many demonic beasts here; we should leave first.”
Qian Jiyun nodded.
Thus, everyone began to pack up, preparing to leave.
Brother Zhen, seeing that Qian Jiyun and the others were leaving, also hurried to instruct his junior brothers and sisters to pack up and prepare to go with them.
As for Gu Qingyu, she was still unconscious. They could simply carry her; when she woke up, she could walk on her own. If she didn’t want to, they could just leave her behind.
Brother Zhen had lost all patience with such a junior sister.
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The group was still in the Zhedu Sea Area, but now, they had reached the seaside.
“What do you mean, stay here for a few days? Why?”
Gu Qingyu had woken up from her unconscious state a while ago, but these past two days, she barely dared to speak.
The psychological shadow of being chased by the giant python was still there, and she was extremely frightened of Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue. To her, they were like devils, people she must avoid at all costs.
She had planned to leave the Zhedu Sea Area first and then settle their accounts later.
Who knew that before they could even board the ship, An Jiuyue told everyone that they should stay here a few more days and rest? Why should they stay put and do nothing?
“Why?”
An Jiuyue, hearing her question, looked at her with a light chuckle.
“Because the ship is with me, and I make the rules,” she said.
“You—”
Gu Qingyu felt a surge of frustration caught in her throat, yet she was powerless to do anything to An Jiuyue.
“Brother Zhen, look at her…”
She could only turn her head to Brother Zhen for help, hoping that people from her side would come forth and scold An Jiuyue, so she could save face.
However, Brother Zhen and the others were already fed up with her and didn’t even acknowledge her at all.
