This time we went out to sea and caught a lot of fish.
Although they don’t know how many days have passed, everything that happened along the way makes these mortals feel a chill all over their bodies every time they think of it.
That is the fear of being just one step away from death.
That is the awe of the unknown monsters in the sea.
And the fear and shock of knowing that there are immortals in this world.
All of this often made them lose their minds and fall into deep thought as they were on their way back to Jinlin City.
Among the crowd, only Pan Mo was resolute. Although he was also shocked by the power of the immortals, he had developed an extraordinary character due to his long years of assassination career.
It only took a few hours to return to normal.
He secretly peeked at Ruyi on the deck, and a deep greed flashed in his dark eyes.
"How can a weakling like me be qualified to enjoy the rewards given by the immortals?" Pan Mo said to himself.
"The immortal that Yang Li invited is dead. Now, whether it's Golden Scale City or this ship, I am the most powerful person. I must get the immortal's things!"
"A pill that can increase my lifespan will definitely improve my skills. Then I will be the number one in the martial arts world."
"Even worse..." Pan Mo's expression suddenly became excited. "That immortal only said that this woman was not qualified to practice cultivation, but did not mention me. If I were qualified to practice cultivation, I might not be without a chance."
"Become an immortal... ride on clouds and mist, and live for eternity!"
Thinking of this, Pan Mo's body was shaking with excitement, but in order to avoid alerting the enemy, he quickly suppressed his excitement and hid it well.
Immortality is what many monks dream of, let alone mortals.
The temptation to them is greater than anything in the world.
Greed made Pan Mo decide to give it a try. Even if it meant completely falling out with Yang Li, he was determined to snatch the pill from Ruyi.
However, when his eyes fell on Xue Kong who was beside Ruyi, the greed in him quickly felt threatened. He became cautious and did not dare to act rashly.
"This person's strength is unclear. He looks like a useless brat, but he was able to defeat the monster's tentacles and even grabbed the seed in the monster's body..."
"I don't know his background, so I can't act rashly." Pan Mo's eyes showed a thoughtful look.
Ranked third on the Jianghu killer list.
Caution is an essential trait for them.
He was very wary of Xue Kong and did not dare to turn against him or use force easily.
Soon, a sneer appeared on Pan Mo's face. He turned around and looked at the strong young men from Jinlin City on the fishing boat. A conspiracy gradually took shape in his mind.
The other end of the deck.
Xue Kong said to Ruyi with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Ruyi. Actually, this seed means nothing to me. You don't have to take the risk of asking the immortals for it for me."
Ruyi nodded: "What belongs to you is yours, don't give it to others easily."
"Since this is the transformation of the true form of a demon beast, even though it is useless in the eyes of the immortals, it is not completely useless to us mortals."
"At worst, if you sell it to Shopkeeper Yang, it will be a lucrative business, enough to provide you with a lifetime of wealth and comfort."
"Sister Ruyi, you are so considerate." Xue Kong grinned and started to chat. The tense atmosphere that had been caused by the appearance of the woman in yellow robe disappeared instantly.
Seeing these two people of similar age getting along so harmoniously, Mr. Zhong was so happy that he could hardly stop smiling.
He looked at Ruyi, and a wave of memories flooded his heart.
Ruyi is not Mr. Zhong’s biological daughter.
Mr. Zhong has been a lonely man all his life and has never been in love. One hot day eight or nine years ago, when he was returning from the sea, he picked up Ruyi on the beach.
Ruyi was only about ten years old at that time.
When the two met for the first time, Mr. Zhong saw that Ruyi's eyes were full of confusion, and she was alone and numb. He felt pity for her and took her home.
After Ruyi had eaten and drunk her fill, the two of them had a detailed conversation. Only then did Mr. Zhong learn that Ruyi had no parents and had fled here, becoming a homeless person.
At this point, the kind-hearted Mr. Zhong kept Ruyi by his side.
Treat her as his own flesh and blood.
The two of them are together.
In Ruyi, Mr. Zhong felt the warmth of having a family.
Although Ruyi is not Mr. Zhong’s biological daughter, she is better than his.
As Ruyi grew older, she gradually reached the age of marriage.
She has a stunning appearance and seems to be born with a heroic air. Looking across the entire Jinlin City, Ruyi is among the top three in terms of beauty.
But if you add in her heroic spirit, her whole person is filled with a temperament and charm that is far beyond the reach of other women.
Such a beauty naturally has many admirers.
There was no need for Mr. Zhong to act as a matchmaker. During that period, there were countless talented men surrounding his family, including many handsome and wealthy young men.
Mr. Zhong thought he could find a good husband for Ruyi, but Ruyi ignored all the suitors and even drove them away with a broom.
Those men were all proud and arrogant, so naturally they didn't want to keep trying to please someone who was not very nice to them.
Gradually, Ruyi had fewer and fewer suitors, and today, no one dares to come to her house to express their love.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhong smiled bitterly: "What kind of man does this child like?"
He once asked Ruyi this question.
Why do she have so many suitors? There are also so many talented and eligible men of marriageable age, but why does Ruyi not even look at those people and drives them all away?
To this, Ruyi also gave her answer: "Being tempted by beauty is like picking plum blossoms on a snowy mountain. Only when you see me can you always be by the candlelight."
