Chapter 273: I don't know where to eat
Wilderness danger zone, high altitude.
The weather today is clear and cloudless, which is suitable for traveling.
The magnificent alchemical airship was flying high in the sky as if it was swimming in the sea. Its figure was invisible, but it was emitting invisible spiritual fluctuations, which made the surrounding flying phantom demons fly away as if they had encountered something disgusting.
In the Ark, at this time, Su Ming and his group had already separated and no longer gathered together.
With an alchemical airship like the Ark as a means of transportation, Su Ming and his party no longer need to travel long distances. However, it will still take several days and nights to reach Tianfeng City.
Therefore, after Su Ming and his party passed the initial stage of curiosity, they found rooms in the Ark and began to rest under Xu Xiayan's arrangement.
Su Ming was also in his room.
Of course, he is not alone.
"Mi Ling!"
The beautiful mermaid girl waved her pretty tail, creating a wave of water, and swam to the window of the airship. She lay there, looking at the scenery outside, her big blue eyes full of curiosity about the unknown world.
"This girl, isn't she afraid of the spiritual fluctuations on the Ark?"
Su Ming looked at this scene and was happy that Xiao Haier was playing by herself like this, but he was a little worried whether the spiritual fluctuations on the Ark would affect her.
The spiritual fluctuations released by the Ark are indeed a bit magical. They can make the phantom demon instinctively reject it and stay away from the area where the spiritual fluctuations are located.
Even a high-level phantom demon would probably subconsciously feel disgusted by this spiritual fluctuation and would not want to approach this area.
This made Su Ming a little worried whether Xiao Haier would be affected by this spiritual fluctuation.
When Xu Xiayan was with Su Ming, the girl was always cautious. She didn't dare to breathe too much and tried her best to hide herself for fear of being discovered. If she couldn't relax after arriving on the Ark, it would be really difficult for her.
Fortunately, Xiao Hai'er doesn't seem to be affected by spiritual fluctuations. He is swimming freely here and doesn't look like a phantom demon at all.
"Is this because of Xiao Hai'er's own peculiarity? Or is it that a phantom demon with a certain level of strength can ignore the influence of this spiritual fluctuation?"
Su Ming scratched his head, unable to figure out the problem.
But he did not dwell on it and soon stopped thinking about this issue. He let Xiao Haier lie on the window alone to enjoy the scenery, while he stood up.
"I'm going to go get some food. You stay in the room and don't run around. Got it?"
Su Ming just gave Xiao Haier some instructions.
"Mi Ling!"
Xiao Haier responded with a pleasant moan, but did not look back at Su Ming. She continued to look at the scenery outside the window, as if she had been attracted by the beautiful scenery outside.
Su Ming laughed and shook his head. He ignored Xiao Haier and left the room alone to go to the restaurant.
According to Xu Xiayan, there is a lot of food stored in the big refrigerator in the restaurant. If Su Ming and others need it, they can get it themselves without being too polite.
Since others have said so, Su Ming will naturally not be polite.
So Su Ming went straight to the restaurant to find food.
However, it seemed that he was not the only one here.
"Bad guy!"
Su Ming had just entered the restaurant when the girl's familiar voice rang out, causing his face to fall.
Resisting the urge to turn around and leave, Su Ming squinted his eyes and looked towards a corner of the restaurant.
There, three people were sitting opposite each other and having a meal.
Surprisingly, they were Wang Yihan, Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan.
"Hello."
Bai Ruxiang nodded towards Su Ming as a greeting.
Bai Xiaoyan also quickly lowered her head and pretended to greet him, but did not say anything, as if she was a little shy.
Su Ming didn't really want to go over, but seeing that Bai Ruxiang had noticed him, it would not be good to just turn around and leave.
For the time being, Bai Ruxiang's attitude towards him was still very good. She did not reject him just because he was a man of unknown origin, nor did she look down on him because he had a sister who was a senior professional. In addition, the other party gave him a good impression that time at the ruins, so Su Ming would not pretend that he did not see the other party.
At this moment, Su Ming could only move closer.
"Are you having your meal, my beautiful ladies?"
Su Ming forced himself to smile and tried to remain polite.
Unfortunately, Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan didn't mind, but Wang Yihan didn't buy it at all.
"Please don't talk like that, bad guy. You make me uncomfortable."
Miss Wang rubbed her arms and ruthlessly exposed Su Ming's plan, almost making Su Ming lose the smile on his face.
This silly girl, I really want to drag her out and give her fifty lashes until her butt is bruised.
"You two seem to be very familiar with each other. Have you known each other before?"
Bai Ruxiang looked at Su Ming and Wang Yihan quietly, and asked tentatively after a while.
"It was just a one-time encounter."
Su Ming naturally would not let others think that he and Wang Yihan were very familiar with each other, so he denied it without saying a word.
It is true that the two of them had only met once.
Apart from the incident at the ruins, Su Ming and Wang Yihan had never met each other before, until today when they were entangled again.
"Humph!" Wang Yihan seemed a little dissatisfied with Su Ming's words. After a light snort, he said to Bai Ruxiang: "Sister Ruxiang, you have to be careful of this man. He is very bad!"
"Really?" Bai Ruxiang smiled noncommittally and said, "I think Mr. Su is quite polite, and for some reason, he gives me a sense of familiarity. He shouldn't be a bad person."
Bai Ruxiang's words made Bai Xiaoyan next to her raise her head. She looked at Su Ming cautiously, then quickly lowered her head and remained silent.
Su Ming's eyes twitched without showing any expression, and he began to wonder in his heart.
"Will I be recognized even if I look like this?"
Is this a woman's intuition? How terrible. "Since you are here, why not have dinner with us, Mr. Su."
Bai Ruxiang had no idea what Su Ming was thinking and invited him.
She did have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Su Ming, as if it was not the first time she had met Su Ming, which made her feel no aversion to Su Ming.
You know, as a member of the Bai family, Bai Ruxiang, who has lived in an environment where women are respected since childhood, even if she is not as blatant as Bai Xuefei in not wanting to approach the opposite sex, she will not take the initiative to invite the opposite sex to dine together.
But this time, Bai Ruxiang made a rare exception. Even Bai Xiaoyan, who was a little shy next to her, didn't seem to have any objections, which made Wang Yihan puff up his cheeks and stand there annoyed.
"Then I'll be welcome."
Su Ming couldn't refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
However, as he sat down, Su Ming still said something.
"You can just call me by my first name without any honorifics."
If we don't take into account the factor of strength, Bai Ruxiang is undoubtedly of higher seniority than Su Ming.
Bai Xuefei is twenty-eight years old this year, and Bai Ruxiang is one year older than her sister, in other words, twenty-nine years old, almost thirty years old.
And what about Su Ming?
He was still a tender and innocent boy of eighteen.
Under such circumstances, it would not be a good idea to ask Bai Rushang to call him "sir" all the time.
On this alchemical airship, Su Ming, Wang Yihan, and Bai Xiaoyan are of one age group, while Xu Xiayan, Bai Ruxiang, and Bai Xuefei are of another age group.
Among these three people, Xu Xiayan should be the oldest one (whispering), she is in her early thirties this year, Bai Ruxiang is twenty-nine years old, and Bai Xuefei is twenty-eight years old. The three are similar in age, but their strengths are very different.
This resulted in Bai Ruxiang only being able to hang out with a group of juniors. If she didn't give her some face, she would probably be very embarrassed.
Therefore, it was neither reasonable nor moral for Su Ming to ask Bai Ruxiang to address him respectfully.
"All right."
Bai Ruxiang thought about it and agreed.
However, she did not call Su Ming's name directly.
"I'll just call you Master Su."
Bai Ruxiang actually said this.
"Isn't this more of a respectful title?"
Su Ming twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to complain.
Bai Ruxiang was also a little embarrassed, but she did not change her mind.
"You are familiar with Miss Wang. According to Lady Xia Yan, Miss Xu Qianqian of the Xu family and Miss Yun Langyue of the Yun family are also very close to you. In this case, it would be impolite for me to call you by your name. It is just right to call you Master Su."

This is what Bai Ruxiang said.
It seems that she already knows Su Ming's general background and identity.
"You know this too?"
Su Ming couldn't help but be a little stunned.
Seeing this, Bai Ruxiang explained.
"Ordinary people may not know of your existence, but among some big families, your existence is no longer a secret. After all, Miss Xu Qianqian and Miss Yun Langyue are both influential figures in various senses. If you can be on good terms with them, then you must have been noticed a long time ago."
That's how it is.
Today, the relationship between Su Ming, Xu Qianqian and Yun Langyue is no longer a secret.
Even though Su Ming hid his strength very deeply and never exposed it openly, he could interact with Xu Qianqian and Yun Langyue freely and seemed to be highly valued. Based on this point alone, it was impossible for people from big families and big forces not to notice him.
"Especially the fact that you asked Miss Yun Langyue for help for Miss Xu Qianqian's safety and asked Miss Yun Langyue to send strong men to protect Miss Xu Qianqian. This matter spread very quickly among the major families."
When Bai Ruxiang mentioned this matter, her expression was obviously a little strange.
Even Bai Xiaoyan next to her seemed to be hesitant to speak, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about something.
Su Ming felt a little unwell.
How come all these so-called big families can spread all kinds of rumors? It makes me look like a licker and a heartless person. Could there be people who are imagining this?
Would anyone feel that Yun Langyue treated him/her well, but he/she ignored her feelings and asked her to send someone to protect another woman?
Thinking about it, Su Ming felt a bit of a headache.
As for the strangeness of Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan, Su Ming also noticed it.
His mind became active, and then he smiled and said something.
"You want to ask me about King Ming, right?"
When Su Ming said this, Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan immediately reacted excessively.
Especially Bai Xiaoyan.
"Do you know the whereabouts of Lord Ming Wang?"
Bai Xiaoyan broke the silence and asked Su Ming with courage.
This is also a very normal thing.
In the eyes of those who know the situation, King Ming was the person specially sent by Yun Langyue after Su Ming went to Yun Langyue for help.
In other words, Su Ming can barely be linked to King Ming.
Su Ming thought of this and pointed it out deliberately.
But. "You are putting me in a difficult position." Su Ming spread his hands and said, "I just asked Yun Langyue for help, and Yun Langyue happened to send that person. I don't know that Ming Wang myself, and I don't know that the strong man I asked Yun Langyue to send to help Xu Qianqian actually did such a big thing."
Su Ming then completely cut off his relationship with King Ming.
"is that so?"
Bai Xiaoyan immediately showed a look of disappointment that was visibly revealed.
Bai Ruxiang's expression also darkened and she sighed.
Fortunately, she actually knew that she would most likely not get any news related to King Ming from Su Ming, so she prepared herself mentally in advance.
"We were abrupt. Sorry."
Bai Ruxiang apologized to Su Ming.
"Don't say that." Su Ming shook his head, but stared at Bai Ruxiang and said, "Excuse me, but why are you looking for the Ming King like this?"
If it were someone else, Su Ming would definitely not ask this question.
Because he knew that people all over the world now had their reasons for looking for the Ming Wang, and there was no need to go through the trouble of asking.
For the sake of the Demon Emperor Sword, not only Longyao City, but also the major forces and families in other base cities are searching for the whereabouts of Ming Wang, making this matter a sensation.
In view of this, it is not surprising even if Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan want to find King Ming.
However, Su Ming felt that the reason why Bai Ruxiang and Bai Xiaoyan wanted to find King Ming was not for the Demon Emperor Sword.
If it was really for the Demon Emperor Sword, these two people would not have resolutely rejected the temptation of the Demon Emperor Sword and spoke for Su Ming at that time in the ruins.
They had already resisted the temptation brought by the Demon Emperor's Sword, so naturally they would not be suddenly attracted to it again.
So, what else do they want to do with Ming Wang?
The answer is actually very simple.
"We just want to know if he's okay."
Bai Ruxiang said this with a wry smile.
"Uh-huh!"
Bai Xiaoyan also nodded repeatedly.
“.”
Su Ming remained silent.
Bai Ruxiang looked at Su Ming like this and said seriously: "He is our savior. Without him, we would not be here long ago."
For this, Bai Rushang and Bai Xiaoyan were both grateful to King Ming.
Almost all the female hunters of the Bai family admired and even had a faint respect for Ming Wang's strength that could easily kill a being of the same star level, his courage to face a six-star underground professional, and his charm in being chosen by the Demon Emperor Sword.
Now, the fact that Ming Wang is carrying the Demon Emperor Sword has been exposed, and he is being hunted by people all over the world. His whereabouts and condition are unknown. No one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing now. Bai Rushang, Bai Xiaoyan and others are naturally a little worried.
Only Wang Yihan looked at Su Ming frequently, as if blaming him for hiding the truth.
Su Ming ignored Wang Yihan's gaze, glanced at Bai Xiaoyan, then glanced at Bai Ruxiang, and then smiled.
"Don't worry, good luck will come to those who are lucky. He is quite capable, so he should be fine. He may even have a place to eat right now."
Su Ming's not-so-serious remarks left Bai Xiaoyan speechless and also made Bai Ruxiang smile.
"I hope so."
Bai Ruxiang seemed to be hoping for that as well.
