About half an hour later, the door reopened and a cook came out carrying a food box. She stopped in front of the door of one of the cabins and knocked. After a while, a beautiful maid opened the door.
She looked at the food box in the cook's hand, tears welling up in her eyes: "I..."
"Go quickly, the master is still hungry!"
The maid took the food box and walked out, looking back every few steps, urged by the cook.
Sheng He did not follow her. The maid should have gone to Jiang Xuanli's room.
She stared at the cook and watched her enter the door again. After a while, two servants came out carrying sacks.
The moment they came out, a strong smell of blood came. Sheng He looked at the blood dripping from the sack from time to time, and an incredible thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
The two servants carefully observed their surroundings. While wiping the blood dripping on the ground, they carried the sack to the deck. Seeing that there was no one around, they immediately threw the sack into the sea.
With a "bang", the sack fell into the water, making a huge noise in the silent night. Logically speaking, such a noise would never be hidden from the geniuses on the ship.
But the cabin was quiet and there was nothing unusual.
The two servants left, talking and laughing, as if they had completed their mission. Sheng He raised his head, his cold eyes fixed on a candlelight that was lit somewhere in the cabin.
"Today's tea is a little weak."
Jiang Xuanli took a sip and put down the teacup. He picked up the map beside him and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"How many days will it take to get to Dragon Island?"
Wang Tong knelt on the ground. He quietly raised his eyes to glance at the bloody red body in front of Jiang Xuanli and immediately retracted his gaze. He answered carefully:
"It will take another twenty days to get back to the Young Master's house at the current rate."
"Twenty days..." Jiang Xuanli raised his head and murmured softly, "It's still too long."
"How are the people on the boat?"
"As you expected, with the instigation of Fairy Zhao, they soon quarreled with Miss Sheng. It is said that Shen Ci threatened to kill Sheng He."
"Where's the ghost?"
"I'm back and I'm on the boat now. Does the young master need me?"
"No need, you go out first."
"yes."
Wang Tong stood up and slowly left the room.
Jiang Xuanli took a look at the food on the table, then stood up and walked to the bronze mirror.
“Ganoderma lucidum, oh Ganoderma lucidum, I have spent so much effort, but you…” Jiang Xuanli picked up a white hair and pulled it off fiercely.
"Don't let me down!"
Sheng He returned to the cabin as if nothing had happened.
The next day, at the same time, Sheng He watched the two servants throw the sacks off the boat and leave, then he immediately jumped over.
The water in the sea was very cold. Sheng He held the water-repellent beads in his mouth and swam all the way to the deep sea. After picking up the heavy sack, Sheng He sat on the sword and untied the sack.
Inside was a female corpse with a hollow heart and a deep scar on her wrist.
This was the maid she had seen in the lowest cabin yesterday.
Just as she thought, Jiang Xuanli...is a cannibal.
"Girl, don't blame me, I am just following orders. Don't worry, I will take good care of your family, just go with peace of mind!"
With a "splash", a silver ingot fell into the water in front of Sheng He.
Sheng He raised his head and saw Wang Tong kneeling on the deck with his eyes closed, worshiping towards the sea.
Sheng He narrowed his eyes, put down the sack, and flew onto the deck.
"Lord Wang, long time no see."
Wang Tong was startled and turned around in panic. Seeing that it was Sheng He, his face was full of horror.
"Miss Sheng, why...why...are you here?"
Sheng He looked up at the starry sky and said with a smile, "The night is very beautiful tonight. I am bored and came out to look at the stars."
"How about you, Lord Wang? I didn't seem to see you when I boarded the ship a few days ago. Are you here to see the stars as well?"
"Yes, yes, I came here to see the stars, too. There are so many stars tonight."
Wang Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead. He glanced at Sheng He, rolled his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Miss Sheng, did you hear any noise just now?"
Sheng He looked at Wang Tong with a half-smile: "What's that noise?"
"Ah, nothing. I just slipped and accidentally dropped a silver coin."
"In this case, Lord Wang, please be careful."
Wang Tong laughed it off and tried to leave with an excuse. Sheng He looked at Wang Tong's back and suddenly said, "I remember that Lord Wang has a daughter, right?"
Wang Tong's body stiffened, but soon returned to normal: "Miss Sheng, you are wrong. Wang is a lonely man, how can he have a daughter?"
After Wang Tong finished speaking, he did not dare to stay and quickly walked into the cabin.
Sheng He smiled gently. She originally just thought it was a bit strange that Wang Tong suddenly appeared here late at night, so she deliberately startled him. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the right thing.
Since Wang Tong had something to hide, she didn't have to worry at all that Wang Tong would tell Jiang Xuanli what happened tonight.
After all... maybe this Lord Wang has a lot of secrets!
The ship was sailing calmly on the sea. For the next few days, Sheng He stayed in the cabin, occasionally going to the deck to bask in the sun.
With the lesson learned from Shen Ci's previous experience, the disciples of various sects kept their distance from Sheng He when they saw her. No one took the initiative to provoke her anymore, so she was able to be at ease.
Twenty days later, the boundless sea finally showed some changes, and a small island appeared faintly in the distance.
After realizing that it was the legendary Dragon Island, the disciples on the ship became excited.
As they were getting closer to Dragon Island, Jiang Xuanli also walked out of the cabin.
Jiang Xuanli has never shown up since the day he boarded the ship.
But only twenty days had passed, and Jiang Xuanli looked like an old man. He was bent over, his hair was gray, and he could only walk steadily with the help of a servant.
Immortal cultivators have long lifespans. As long as they successfully build their foundation, they can live for more than 300 years. Even if their lifespan is about to end, they will not suddenly age as severely as Jiang Xuanli.
Everyone on the boat looked at each other, and no one spoke for a while.
Instead, Jiang Xuanli cheerfully explained to everyone that this was their family's special martial art. Every time they advanced to a higher level, they would suddenly age for several months, but would be fine after a while.
There are all kinds of strange things in the world of cultivating immortals, and there are also very strange skills, so people no longer doubt anything.
Jiang Xuanli took the map of Dragon Island from the servant and presented it to everyone with a smile.
"This is a map of Dragon Island that I got by chance. Since everyone is here to look for treasure, I can't hide it, so I'll take it out and share it with everyone."
"This... How can this be so embarrassing?"
Everyone said this, but their bodies still leaned forward honestly.
Sheng He stood aside, looking at the smiling Jiang Xuanli.
The way he looked at this group of people was like a person who had been hungry for a long time seeing fat meat, he was extremely hungry and thirsty.
