âIf there are treasures, then Iâm definitely interested. However, arenât you afraid of me killing you and taking the treasures all for myself when the time comes?â asked Long Chen.
At first, this girl had intentionally acted big toward Long Chen. However, later on, her hostility had faded.
Although Long Chen wasnât afraid of her, he couldnât go somewhere unknown without making things clear first. Who wouldnât want a free meal? He didnât want to be devoured by this girl.
âHehe, you wouldnât. You have the spiritual mark of the Butterfly Spirit race on your hand. That means youâre a good person and wouldnât kill me. Furthermore, you shouldnât look down on me. Iâm not so easy to kill.â The woman pointed to the back of Long Chenâs hand. âIf it werenât for the mark of the Butterfly Spirit race, then do you think Iâd work with you considering your fierce face?â
So that was the case. However, did he really have such a fierce face? Long Chen touched his face. He had never felt himself to look so fierce. He thought his looks actually werenât bad.
âDonât think you can cover up your heart so easily. Youâve killed many people, and you canât conceal it. Back in the day, I was also a very handsome dragon, but after killing so many creatures⌠ah, fuck, whatever,â said the Evilmoon.
âKilling too much results in your appearance changing? I donât believe you,â said Long Chen.
âI also didnât believe it, but reality proves it. Those who kill too many people start looking fierce. Youâve killed so many people from the Corrupt path. Donât they all look that way?â said Evilmoon.
That couldnât be right. The people they killed were all innocent, and so they accumulated resentment. However, when Long Chen killed people, he always kept his conscience clean. It was definitely because he had been under too much pressure these days. Yes, that had to be why his appearance looked so fierce.
âLittle sisterâŚâ Long Chen put on a smile and did his best to speak warmly.
The woman jumped in shock and hastily retreated. âYour smile is so sinister. Can you not smile like that? Iâm afraid.â
Long Chenâs smile stiffened, while Evilmoonâs heartless laughter rang out in his mind, making him want to slap it.
Seeing Long Chenâs expression sink, the woman laughed. âIâm just teasing you. Who asked you to con me at the start? Now weâre even.â
So he had actually fallen for the teasing of a girl. Long Chen didnât know whether to laugh or cry.
After that joke, she became even friendlier with Long Chen. She introduced herself as Xie Qianqian. She came from a region called the Alldevil star-field.
âThe Alldevil star-field? Have you heard of the Alldevil race?â asked Long Chen, surprised.
âYou know about the Alldevil race?â asked Xie Qianqian, just as surprised as Long Chen.
Long Chen immediately said that he had encountered one of them in a minor world. He described its appearance.
âThat truly is one of the bastards of the Alldevil race. The majority of the Alldevil star-field has been taken over by them, which is of course where it gets its name. Those despicable bastards slaughtered countless people. Weâre their enemies, and my parents, they⌠they were killed by them.â Tears dripped down her cheek without her knowing it.
Long Chen didnât know how to console her. He could only silently listen. Xie Qianqian wiped away her tears and continued.
âThat happened three years ago. My parents died in battle. While they were still alive, all the relatives did their best to curry favor with them, but after they died, they immediately showed me their true selves. They were doing their best to win favor with me in order to get my parentâs wealth. Hmph, I knew what kind of people they were from the start, so I sold off all my parentsâ assets and left my household. Iâm going to become strong and become a grand warrior capable of avenging my parents. Thatâs why I want to study at my star-fieldâs strongest academy. However, I canât afford their tuition, so I bet everything on renting this special flying boat in hopes of getting a high return when I attacked the Life and Death realm. Oh, that would be your Netherpassage realm. Long Chen, I really need to thank you. This life spirit water should be enough for my tuition. Even if itâs not enough, I should be able to make up the difference through other means.â
Long Chen nodded. He really had misjudged her. He had thought that this woman had come out to play since she belonged to some powerful family with amazing treasures.
Just like he had his own difficulties, she had hers as well.
Long Chen gave her a thumbs-up along with some sincere praise.
A confused girl who had come out of nowhere was actually someone who relied only on herself to charge her way forward, betting her life in the Netherworld. Such a person was worthy of respect.
âLong Chen, Iâve told you my experiences. Can you tell me yours? Otherwise, Iâll have lost out,â said the woman. For her to still be able to joke with Long Chen showed that her heart was still full of sunshine.
âMe?â Long Chen was startled and shook his head. âI donât have any good stories. I have a father, a mother, and a little sister, all living very well. When I was little, I had a carefree life. When I got older⌠I had to bear more responsibility, so I was busier. A few âfriendsâ like to mess around with me, so we scuffle all day. Some hills form, some little streams flow. But I have to say, itâs very lively.â
Long Chen put it very lightly. The mountains of corpses and rivers of blood that flowed from his battles had been turned into tiny scuffles. Xie Qianqian didnât manage to hear that aspect of his words and thought that he really did live happily, making her a bit envious.
âQianqian, what is the Butterfly Spirit race?â asked Long Chen.
âThe Butterfly Spirit race is a kind race but also a very powerful one. They have immense power, and their illusion arts are especially terrifying. Within the same realm, practically no one can resist them. However, they have a fatal weakness, which is fire. Thatâs why they reside in water spirit worlds, as thereâs no fire element that can threaten them there. However, this information is just things that Iâve heard. Iâve never encountered anyone from the Butterfly Spirit race. However, I know theyâre pure-hearted. They practically never mark others, and those they do are all good people. Thatâs why Iâm willing to work together with you. You might not even realize that when you circulate your energy, a butterfly mark flashes on your hand.â
With that advice, Long Chen looked down to see an almost imperceptible mark on his hand. It was a butterfly that was slowly flapping its wings.
Hopefully, it didnât stay once he returned. There was no way for him to explain this.
âWhere are those treasures you mentioned? Donât worry, no matter how many there are, Iâll split them evenly with you,â promised Long Chen.
âI guarantee there are treasures. When I was collecting the life spirit water, I got curious and went deeper to see where the nine springs gather. There are countless precious stones there with frightening fluctuations. The suction there is also very powerful, so I didnât dare to go. Iâm just wondering if you have any method of handling it,â said Xie Qianqian.
âAs long as the treasures are good enough, even if thereâs no way to obtain them, I have to think of some way to do so. Letâs go have a look.â Long Chenâs eyes began to shine.
The whirlpool of the nine lakes flowed down in a waterfall and then flowed back up. That was where the nine springs gathered. The only possibilities were that there would be no treasures, or whatever treasures there were had to be stunningly precious.
Xie Qianqian controlled the flying boat, having it descend in the white lake. As it descended, countless runes lit up on the flying boat, blocking the white water.
Long Chenâs World Trees had already grown to their limit, so he didnât need to gather more of it.
If he continued gathering it, then based on his experience, it would transform into the divine life elixir.
However, he didnât dare to gather more. The final few times he had collected the life spirit water and death spirit water, he hadnât been able to get much at all before the world had started shuddering. That meant that he had already reached a kind of limit. Taking any more would very likely cause trouble.
The two of them were descending deeper and deeper. Long Chen estimated that this place might be even deeper than the Martial Heaven Sea-Ring. However, despite the immense pressure, the flying boat was fine.
âIt really is worth spending all your savings on renting. This flying boat is a priceless treasure,â sighed Long Chen.
Xie Qianqian shook her head. âIn truth, this flying boat isnât that amazing. Itâs not a fighting flying boat. However, it is made of special Nether Iron and isnât rejected in the Netherworld, which is what allows it to enter and what makes it so precious.â
Xie Qianqian was a bit vexed. The flying boat clearly hadnât been as amazing as she had thought when she had rented it.
If she hadnât encountered Long Chen, then who knew how long it would have taken her to fill up those bottles of hers? Furthermore, something had happened to her bottles and that had caused the space inside them to shrink. They had lost effect once she had come to the Netherworld. Once she returned, she would definitely have to settle the bill with the person who had rented them to her.
Long Chen sighed inside. As expected, the outer world was truly mysterious. Such an amazing flying boat was viewed as rubbish by Xie Qianqian. He truly felt like a frog at the bottom of a well.
The flying boat was still descending. A general image appeared in Long Chenâs head. The nine springs formed a circular sea, with the whirlpool at the center and the Gates of Hell at the bottom.
However, despite the Gates of Hell being located not far from the bottom of the nine springs, they werenât actually the bottom of the nine springs. That was completely incomprehensible.
Everything was white as they descended. However, after a while, intense fluctuations came from below, and the flying boat began to shake.
âLook! Thatâs the core of the nine springs!â Xie Qianqian carefully controlled the flying boat as she pointed in a certain direction.
