“Oh? So you’ve suddenly changed your mind about Professor Zhang Wen?”
“Oh? So, you’ve suddenly changed your opinion about that Teacher Zhang Wen?”
Just as Zhang Wen and the Kentucky trio stepped into the elevator, and the young man with a gentle smile waved away the traces of three Saint-level powerhouses, in the examiners’ room on the fourth floor of the Starlight, Ge Luo was making a phone call with a tone full of sarcasm.
“No, of course, I haven’t changed my opinion. He’s a significant threat. Bigger than anyone else on this ship.”
On the other end of the psychic communicator was Luo Fulei, who had led Zhang Wen and his group to the airship but had to stay behind at the Infinite Coliseum due to the limit on the number of people.
“Hey! Then why is he back alive? Didn’t you say you were going to kill him before you left? Are you trying to tell me you suddenly had a change of heart and decided to let them go?” Ge Luo’s sarcasm grew even thicker.
“Ge Luo, if you keep talking to me in that tone, do you believe that when you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll find yourself missing a few crucial parts?” Luo Fulei laughed coquettishly, but the chill in her voice made Ge Luo shiver involuntarily.
“Tch! You failed in your mission and still act so arrogantly… It’s fine if you’re tough with me now, but I’m afraid the teacher won’t be as lenient as I am.”
“My mission didn’t fail.”
“Haha! Luo Fulei, you didn’t forget the teacher’s order, did he? He said, no matter what method, to get that Zhang Wen out of this competition. But now? He’s back on the airship with those three Kentucky idiots, and you’re stuck on a small island in the Infinite Coliseum, needing me to come and get you…”
“Enough nonsense, Ge Luo! I have my own plans. Zhang Wen will stay on the Starlight for at least seven more days. During this time, I have plenty of time to fulfill the teacher’s orders.” Luo Fulei impatiently cut off Ge Luo’s mockery.
“Hey! Suit yourself. Anyway, I’ll find a way to get someone to pick you up. But, since you failed this time, the teacher will probably be very unhappy. You’d better be prepared, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Ge Luo laughed heartily, casually tossing the psychic communicator aside.
“Ge Luo.” Marian, the first examiner to appear in the selection competition, pushed the door open and walked in.
“Hmm?” Ge Luo looked up.
“Zhang Wen is back.”
“I know. I just got a call; Luo Fulei failed. She’s now trapped on a small island to the south, and we need to figure out a way to get an airship to rescue her.” Ge Luo laughed with schadenfreude.
“Of course.” Marian nodded, then suddenly showed an incredulous expression, “Ge Luo, how can you still laugh? What exactly is the background of that Zhang Wen? Dealing with a mere tenth-level martial artist, even Luo Fulei failed…”
“Hmph! No matter what his background is, he must leave this ship within three days.” Ge Luo suddenly punched out fiercely, smashing the luxurious wooden table in front of him to pieces.
“You’ve seen the teacher’s determination this time. If we can’t fulfill the teacher’s requirements before he personally boards the ship, even we… might not be able to withstand the teacher’s wrath!”
“Hmm.” Marian sighed softly.
A few minutes later, an airship that had previously returned to the Starlight departed again, heading south.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wen returned to his room on the Starlight. However…
“…I say, why are you following me? And why are those two big guys guarding outside my room?”
Looking at Yinier, who had followed him into his private room as if it were the most natural thing in the world, sitting on his bed without a hint of embarrassment, Zhang Wen couldn’t help but let his face fall.
Originally, Zhang Wen had planned to sneak out to look for Lailiya while the Starlight was resting at sea. After all, most of the sailors and bodyguards on the Starlight were gathered on the deck, and many of the participating martial artists hadn’t returned yet, making it the perfect time to search.
But with Si and Kai blocking the door to Zhang Wen’s room, how was he supposed to get out?
“Our previous agreement was that our cooperation would only last until we left Pico Island. So, our cooperation has ended. Miss Yinier, you’re supposed to be the wise one of the Kentucky clan, don’t act like a jilted lover, okay?” Yinier remained silent for a long time, and Zhang Wen steeled himself, almost bluntly telling her to leave.
“Teacher Zhang Wen, it’s no use. No matter what you say, I won’t leave. Unless you agree to my request.” Although Yinier was an extremely sexy beauty, and although she was sitting on the only large bed in the room, her stubborn expression left Zhang Wen with no room for any romantic thoughts, only a sense of helplessness.
Honestly, Zhang Wen was starting to regret it now. If he had known things would turn out this way, he might as well have set off with Xiu Luo and Fujiwara from the start! After all, he would still encounter Luo Fulei’s attack later. With Luo Fulei, he could still gather four people to fly the airship back to the Starlight. And he wouldn’t have to deal with these “Kentucky plasters” in front of him.
“I’ve told you, your request is absurd! I’m just a martial arts instructor at the Almis Academy! How could I possibly help you revive the Kentucky clan? Moreover, you want me to help you reclaim the original territory of the Kentucky clan? Are you out of your mind? That’s an entire continent, Miss Wise One!” Zhang Wen pleaded earnestly with Yinier, hoping she would leave quickly.
“No! You have the ability to revive the Kentucky clan!” Yinier remained unmoved, looking at Zhang Wen and speaking in an unyielding tone, “This is the guidance given to me by the wise ones of the Kentucky clan through the ages. You are the one mentioned in the oldest legends of our clan.”
“No, you’re mistaken.” Zhang Wen quickly waved his hands in denial.
What a joke! He already had enough troubles on his plate! He didn’t want to shoulder the heavy burden of “reviving the Kentucky clan”! And, as far as Zhang Wen knew, the conditions Yinier demanded for reviving the Kentucky clan were simply impossible to fulfill!
The so-called Kentucky clan were actually the indigenous people living on the planet Kentucky. Later, when the empire expanded its territory to Kentucky, they quickly integrated with the Kentuckians and turned Kentucky into one of the most prosperous administrative colonial planets in the southern frontier of the empire.
The original Kentucky clan accepted this change. They signed an agreement with the empire. In the agreement, the Kentucky clan received one of the three continents of Kentucky, the “Pilgrimage Continent,” as their reserved territory.
However, not long after, the empire’s pioneers discovered a large number of valuable mineral veins on the Pilgrimage Continent! This discovery quickly turned the Kentucky clan’s reserved territory into a juicy piece of meat in the eyes of the empire’s nobility.
Through a series of conspiracies, betrayals, and sellouts, the Kentucky clan’s reserved territory gradually shrank from an entire continent to a province, then from a province to a city…
Now, the population of the Kentucky clan, which was 7,600 two hundred years ago, has dwindled to less than 200. And the remaining reserved territory of the Kentucky clan is now just a small village, at most one-tenth the size of Casares City. The rest has mostly fallen into the hands of various noble families of the empire.
And the one with the largest share among them is the Orleans family, currently known as the “most unapproachable” among the empire’s noble families.
Although Zhang Wen now had some strength, whether it was dealing with super-tier powerhouses like Iron Face or influential figures like General William, he could manage some connections. But compared to the Orleans family, a behemoth that had lasted for over a thousand years in the empire, Zhang Wen was still just an insignificant ant!
Not to mention, Yinier’s request was for Zhang Wen to help the Kentucky clan reclaim the entire Pilgrimage Continent. That would mean going against all the noble families of the empire!
Even a fool would know that’s an impossible task!
“No, I’m not mistaken.” No matter how earnestly Zhang Wen spoke, Yinier remained just as firm.
“You’re wrong!” Zhang Wen felt like he wanted to take apart the head of this Kentucky wise one and see how her brain was wired!
“I’m not wrong!” Yinier ignored Zhang Wen’s troubled expression, stubbornly insisting.
“You… Hmph! Fine! You won’t leave, will you? Then don’t blame me for being rude!” Seeing that reasoning with Yinier was impossible, Zhang Wen decided to take a tougher approach.
He sneered as he walked towards Yinier.
“You… What are you doing?” As Zhang Wen approached, Yinier couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered.
“What am I doing? Of course, being rude to you!” With lightning speed, Zhang Wen pushed Yinier down onto the bed. Zhang Wen’s arms pressed against Yinier’s slender neck, and his head came within less than ten centimeters of her face.
“Heh heh!” Zhang Wen laughed triumphantly. He could clearly feel the body of the elf beauty beneath him stiffen instantly.
Zhang Wen was almost certain that Yinier would either scream in panic or slap him hard. Whichever the elf beauty chose, Zhang Wen would have plenty of words to throw her out of the room.
However, far beyond Zhang Wen’s expectations…
Although Yinier did indeed look very panicked, and the blush on her face showed just how shy she was, the elf-like beauty didn’t make any of the moves Zhang Wen had imagined.
On the contrary, under Zhang Wen’s gaze, the blushing Yinier tightly closed her eyes and assumed a posture of complete surrender!
A wild, sexy beauty, full of the desire to be conquered, had yielded right before his eyes. Even a saint would probably be tempted. Zhang Wen was no exception.
However, Zhang Wen knew very well that the beauty before him was actually a hot potato he couldn’t touch. If he got involved with Yinier, wouldn’t he really have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Kentucky clan?!
Get up! Hurry up and get up! Zhang Wen’s subconscious screamed at him to get off Yinier immediately. But another part of his will made the exact opposite judgment!
Yinier’s scorching body, her expression of extreme shyness yet forced persistence, all made Zhang Wen’s heart feel like it was on fire.
The battle energy of the Spring Water Technique uncontrollably surged through Zhang Wen’s body. That indescribable feeling made Zhang Wen realize that this time, he might be the one to lift a stone and drop it on his own foot!
“What are you waiting for?” Yinier’s unbearably shy words gave Zhang Wen the final push!
“Damn… it!” Zhang Wen only managed to utter two words before the battle energy of the Spring Water Technique exploded within him.
Zhang Wen’s lips crossed the final ten centimeters and forcefully pressed against Yinier’s lips. The wonderful sensation made both their bodies burn as if on fire!
“Don’t! Si and Kai are still outside… Mmm! There… Mmm…” Yinier’s voice, sometimes shy, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes tearful, kept ringing out.
She tried her best to lower her voice, not wanting her two subordinates outside to hear. But the unprecedented experience, the irresistible pleasure coming from her body, made Yinier almost go mad with contradiction.
Yinier tightly hugged Zhang Wen, using all her strength to hold onto her last shred of rationality. But Zhang Wen’s roving hands easily shattered Yinier’s final defenses.
“Mmm…” The unbearably shy elf beauty bit hard on Zhang Wen’s shoulder, completely letting go.
…
“Ah…! Haven’t they settled it yet? It’s already so late.” Drowsiness gradually set in, and Si, guarding the door, couldn’t help but yawn.
“Of course, it’s not that easy. No one understands the difficulty of reviving the Kentucky clan better than the wise one. That Zhang Wen isn’t a member of our Kentucky clan, so getting him to agree to help us probably won’t be that simple.”
“Ah…! I know it’s not simple, but… Isn’t agreeing or not just a matter of a single sentence? Does it need to take this long? Ah…! Are they going to discuss all night?” The drowsy Si kept yawning.
Click!
The door to Zhang Wen’s room suddenly opened, and Yinier walked out.
“Let’s go.” Yinier simply said a few words to the two Kentucky warriors and hurried towards her room.
“Eh? Leaving already? Yinier, how did your talk with that guy go? Did he agree?” The clueless Si quickly followed Yinier’s steps while asking.
“I don’t know. Anyway, he hasn’t agreed yet. Let’s go back, we’ll talk about everything tomorrow!” Yinier said without turning her head, quickly turning into another corridor.
“Hey! Yinier?” Si and Kai, whose rooms were in the other direction, could only exchange a helpless glance and head back to their respective rooms.
“No, of course I haven’t changed my mind. He’s a huge threat. Bigger than anyone else on this ship,” replied the other end of the psychic communicator, none other than Lofray, who had led Zhang Wen and his group to the airship but had to stay behind at the Infinite Arena due to the limit on numbers.
“Hey! Then why is he back alive? Didn’t you say you were going to eliminate him before you left? Or are you going to tell me you suddenly had a change of heart and decided to spare them?”
“Ge Luo, if you keep speaking to me like that, do you really think you’ll wake up tomorrow morning with all your most vital parts still intact?” Lofray laughed sweetly, her voice sending a chill down Ge Luo’s spine.
“Tch! Failed in your mission and still so arrogant… You can be as bold as you like with me now, but I doubt the teacher will be as easygoing as I am.”
“My mission hasn’t failed.”
“Ha! Lofray, have you forgotten the teacher’s orders? He said no matter what methods you use, you must make sure that man called Zhang Wen leaves this competition. But now? He and those three Kentucky idiots came back on the airship, while you’re stuck on the Infinite Arena island, and now you’re asking me to come pick you up…”
“Cut the nonsense, Ge Luo! I have my own plans. Zhang Wen will remain on the Star Moon for at least seven more days. I have plenty of time to fulfill the teacher’s instructions,” Lofray impatiently cut off Ge Luo’s mockery.
“Hey! Suit yourself. Anyway, I’ll try to find someone to pick you up. But this failure of yours might make the teacher very unhappy. You’d better be prepared and don’t blame me for not warning you,” Ge Luo laughed heartily and tossed the psychic communicator aside.
“Ge Luo.” Marian, the first examiner of the selection match, walked in through the door.
“Hmm?” Ge Luo looked up.
“Zhang Wen is back.”
“I know. I just received a call, Lofray failed. She’s now stranded on a small island to the south, and we need to figure out a way to send an airship to rescue her.” Ge Luo laughed with schadenfreude.
“Of course.” Marian nodded, suddenly showing an expression of disbelief. “Ge Luo, how can you still be laughing? Who exactly is this Zhang Wen? To have even Lofray fail against a mere tenth-tier martial artist…”
“Hmph! No matter who he is, he must leave this ship within three days.” Ge Luo suddenly slammed his fist onto the luxurious wooden table, shattering it into pieces. “You’ve seen the determination of the teacher this time. Before the teacher boards the ship himself, if we can’t fulfill his request, even we… might not be able to withstand the teacher’s wrath!”
“Hmm.” Marian sighed softly.
A dozen minutes later, an airship that had previously returned to the Star Moon took off again, heading south.
Meanwhile, Zhang Wen had returned to his room on the Star Moon. However…
“…I mean, why are you following me? And why did you make those two big guys stand guard outside my room?”
Looking at Iniel, who had followed him into his private room as if it were the most natural thing in the world, sitting on his bed without the slightest hint of embarrassment, Zhang Wen couldn’t help but frown.
Originally, Zhang Wen had planned to sneak out during the Star Moon’s brief stop at sea to search for the whereabouts of Liliya. After all, most of the sailors and bodyguards on the Star Moon were gathered on the deck at this time, and quite a few of the competing martial artists hadn’t returned yet, making it the perfect time to look for someone.
However, Si and Kai were blocking the door to Zhang Wen’s room on either side, making it impossible for Zhang Wen to go anywhere.
“Our previous agreement was that our cooperation would end once we left Pico Island. So, our cooperation has ended. Miss Iniel, you’re at least a wise woman of the Kentucky clan, so please don’t act like a scorned wife who’s been dumped by her boyfriend, okay?” When Iniel remained silent for a long time, Zhang Wen hardened his heart and almost bluntly asked her to leave.
“Teacher Zhang Wen, it’s useless. No matter what you say, I won’t leave unless you agree to my request.” Although Iniel was an extremely attractive beauty and was sitting on the only large bed in the room, her stubborn expression left Zhang Wen with no lewd thoughts, only helplessness.
To be honest, Zhang Wen was already somewhat regretful now. If he had known things would turn out like this, he might as well have left with Xie Luo and Teng Ping from the start! After all, he would still encounter Lofray’s attack later. With Lofray, he could still gather four people to fly the airship back to the Star Moon. And he wouldn’t have encountered these “Kentucky plasters” in front of him.
“I’ve already said, your request is too absurd! I’m just a martial arts instructor at Almises Academy! How can I possibly help you revive the Kentucky clan? Besides, you even want me to help you regain the original territory of the Kentucky clan? Are you kidding me? That’s a whole continent, wise lady!” Zhang Wen tried to persuade Iniel, hoping she would leave quickly.
“No! You have the ability to revive the Kentucky clan!” Iniel was unmoved. She looked at Zhang Wen and spoke loudly with an unchanging stubborn tone, “This is the guidance given to me by the wise men of the Kentucky clan throughout history. You are the person mentioned in the oldest legend of our Kentucky clan.”
“No, you’re mistaken.” Zhang Wen quickly waved his hands.
Are you kidding me! He already had enough troubles on his shoulders! He definitely didn’t want to take on another big burden called “reviving the Kentucky clan”! Moreover, from what Zhang Wen knew, the conditions Iniel requested for reviving the Kentucky clan were simply impossible to fulfill!
The so-called Kentucky clan was actually the indigenous people living on the Kentucky planet. Later, after the Empire expanded its territory to the Kentucky planet, they quickly integrated with the Kentuckians and turned the Kentucky planet into one of the most prosperous administrative colonies on the southern border of the Empire.

However, not long after, the Empire’s pioneers discovered a large number of expensive ore veins on the Pilgrimage Continent! This discovery quickly made the reserved territory of the Kentucky clan a coveted prize in the eyes of the Empire’s aristocrats.
Through a series of conspiracies, betrayals, and betrayals, the Kentucky clan’s reserved territory gradually shrank from the entire continent to a province, then from a province to a city…
Now, the population of the Kentucky clan had dropped from 7,600 two hundred years ago to less than 200 today. And the remaining reserved territory of the Kentucky clan had shrunk to just a small village, no more than a tenth the size of the city of Casares. The rest had mostly fallen into the hands of the Empire’s various noble families.
Among them, the family with the largest share was currently the Orleans family, known as the “most formidable” among the Empire’s noble families.
“Oh? So you’ve suddenly changed your opinion about that teacher Zhang Wen?”
Just as Zhang Wen and the Kentucky trio stepped into the floating elevator, and the young man with a gentle smile waved away the traces of three Saint-level powerhouses, in the examiner’s room on the fourth floor of the Starlight, Ge Luo was making a phone call with a sarcastic tone.
“No, of course, I haven’t changed my opinion. He’s a significant threat. Bigger than anyone else on this ship.”
On the other end of the psychic communicator was Luo Fulei, who had led Zhang Wen’s group to the airship but had to stay behind at the Infinite Coliseum due to the limit on the number of participants.
“Hey! Then why is he still alive? Didn’t you say you were going to kill him before you left? Are you trying to tell me you suddenly had a change of heart and decided to let them go?” Ge Luo’s sarcasm grew thicker.
“Ge Luo, if you keep talking to me in that tone, do you believe that by tomorrow morning, you’ll find yourself missing a few crucial parts?” Luo Fulei laughed coquettishly, but the chill in her voice made Ge Luo shiver involuntarily.
“Tch! You failed in your mission and still act so arrogant… It’s fine if you’re tough with me now, but I’m afraid the teacher won’t be as lenient as I am.”
“My mission didn’t fail.”
“Haha! Luo Fulei, you haven’t forgotten the teacher’s order, have you? He said, no matter the method, that guy named Zhang Wen must be removed from this competition. But now? He’s back on the airship with those three Kentucky fools, while you’re stuck on a small island in the Infinite Coliseum, waiting for me to come and pick you up…”
“Enough nonsense, Ge Luo! I have my own plans. Zhang Wen will stay on the Starlight for at least seven more days. During that time, I have plenty of opportunities to fulfill the teacher’s orders.” Luo Fulei impatiently cut off Ge Luo’s mockery.
“Hey! Say whatever you want. Anyway, I’ll find someone to pick you up. But since you failed this time, the teacher will probably be very unhappy. You’d better be mentally prepared, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Ge Luo laughed heartily and casually tossed the psychic communicator aside.
“Ge Luo.” Marian, the first examiner to appear in the selection competition, pushed the door open and walked in.
“Hmm?” Ge Luo looked up.

After all, most of the sailors and bodyguards on the Starlight were gathered on the deck, and many of the participating martial artists hadn’t returned yet, making it the perfect time to search.
But with Si and Kai blocking the door to Zhang Wen’s room, how could he possibly leave?
“Our previous agreement was that our cooperation would only last until we left Pico Island. So, our cooperation has ended.

After all, he would still encounter Luo Fulei’s attack later. With Luo Fulei, he could still gather four people to pilot the airship back to the Starlight. And he wouldn’t have to deal with these “Kentucky plasters” in front of him.
“I’ve told you, your request is absurd! I’m just a martial arts instructor at the Almitus Academy! How could I possibly help you revive the Kentucky clan? Moreover, you want me to help you reclaim the Kentucky clan’s original territory? Are you out of your mind? That’s an entire continent, Miss Wise One!” Zhang Wen pleaded with Yinier, hoping she would leave quickly.
“No! You have the ability to revive the Kentucky clan!” Yinier remained unmoved, looking at Zhang Wen with unwavering determination. “This is the guidance given to me by the wise ones of the Kentucky clan throughout the generations. You are the person mentioned in the oldest legends of our clan.”

Even a fool would know that this was an impossible task!
“No, I’m not mistaken.” No matter how earnestly Zhang Wen spoke, Yinier remained just as determined.
“You’re wrong!” Zhang Wen felt like he wanted to take apart the head of this Kentucky wise one and see how her brain was wired!
“I’m not wrong!” Yinier, completely ignoring Zhang Wen’s conflicted expression, stubbornly insisted.
“You… Hmph! Fine! You won’t leave, will you? Then don’t blame me for being impolite!” Seeing that reasoning with Yinier was futile, Zhang Wen decided to take a tougher approach.
He sneered as he walked towards Yinier.
“You… What are you going to do?” As Zhang Wen approached, Yinier couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered.
“What am I going to do? Of course, I’m going to be impolite!” With lightning speed, Zhang Wen pushed Yinier down onto the bed. Zhang Wen’s arms were on either side of Yinier’s slender neck, and his face was less than ten centimeters away from hers.
“Heh heh!” Zhang Wen laughed triumphantly. He could clearly feel the body of the elf beauty beneath him stiffen instantly.
Zhang Wen was almost certain that Yinier would either scream in panic or slap him hard. Whichever the elf beauty chose, Zhang Wen would have plenty of words to throw her out of the room.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Zhang Wen’s expectations…
Although Yinier did indeed look very panicked, and the blush on her face showed just how shy she was, the elf-like beauty didn’t make any of the moves Zhang Wen had imagined.
On the contrary, under Zhang Wen’s gaze, the blushing Yinier tightly closed her eyes and presented herself as if she were ready to be taken!
A wild, sexy beauty full of the desire to conquer had yielded right before his eyes. Even a saint would probably be tempted. Zhang Wen was no exception.
However, Zhang Wen knew very well that the beauty before him was actually a hot potato that he couldn’t touch. If he were to have a relationship with Yinier, wouldn’t he really have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Kentucky clan?!
Get up! Get up now! Zhang Wen’s subconscious was screaming at him to get off Yinier. But the other half of his will made a completely opposite judgment!
Yinier’s scorching body, her expression of extreme shyness yet forced to endure, all made Zhang Wen’s heart feel like it was on fire.
The combat energy of the Spring Water Technique uncontrollably surged through Zhang Wen’s body. That indescribable feeling made Zhang Wen realize that this time, he might have shot himself in the foot!
“What are you waiting for?” Yinier’s unbearably shy words gave Zhang Wen the final push!
“Damn… it!” Zhang Wen only managed to utter two words before the combat energy of the Spring Water Technique exploded within him.
Zhang Wen’s lips crossed the final ten centimeters and forcefully pressed against Yinier’s lips. The wonderful sensation made both their bodies burn as if on fire!
“Don’t! Si and Kai are still outside… Mmm! There… Mmm…” Yinier’s voice, sometimes shy, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes tearful, kept ringing out.
She tried her best to lower her voice, not wanting her two subordinates outside to hear. But the unprecedented experience, the irresistible pleasure coming from her body, made Yinier almost go mad with contradiction.
Yinier tightly hugged Zhang Wen, using all her strength to hold onto her last shred of rationality. But Zhang Wen’s roaming hands easily shattered Yinier’s last line of defense.
“Mmm…” The unbearably shy elf beauty bit hard on Zhang Wen’s shoulder, completely letting herself go.
…
“Ah…! Haven’t they reached an agreement yet? It’s already so late.” Drowsiness gradually set in, and Si, who was guarding the door, couldn’t help but yawn.
“Of course, it’s not that easy. No one understands the difficulty of reviving the Kentucky clan better than the wise one. That Zhang Wen isn’t a member of our Kentucky clan, so getting him to agree to help us probably won’t be that simple.”
“Ah…! I know it’s not simple, but… isn’t agreeing or not just a matter of a single sentence? Does it need to take this long? Ah…! Are they going to discuss all night?” The sleepy Si kept yawning.
Click!
The door to Zhang Wen’s room suddenly opened, and Yinier walked out.
“Let’s go.” Yinier simply said a few words to the two Kentucky warriors and hurried towards her room.
“Huh? That’s it? Yinier, how did your talk with that guy go? Did he agree?” Si, who didn’t understand what was going on, quickly followed Yinier while asking.
“I don’t know. Anyway, he hasn’t agreed yet. Let’s go back, we’ll talk about everything tomorrow!” Yinier said without turning her head, quickly turning into the corridor on the other side.
“Hey! Yinier?” Si and Kai, whose rooms were on the other side, could only look at each other helplessly and head back to their respective rooms.
Not to mention, Iniel’s request was for Zhang Wen to help the Kentucky clan reclaim the entire Pilgrimage Continent. That was practically declaring war on all the noble families in the Empire!
Even a fool would know this was an impossible task!
“No, I won’t be mistaken.” No matter how earnestly Zhang Wen spoke, Iniel remained so firm.
“You’re wrong!” Zhang Wen was almost ready to take apart the head of this Kentucky wise woman and see how her brain was structured!
“I’m not wrong!” Iniel stubbornly persisted, ignoring Zhang Wen’s troubled expression.
“You… Hmph! Fine! You won’t leave, right? Then I won’t be polite anymore!” When reasoning failed to communicate with Iniel, Zhang Wen decided to take a harsh approach.
He smirked and walked toward Iniel.
“What… What are you going to do?” Cornered by Zhang Wen, Iniel couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered.
“What am I going to do? Of course, I won’t be polite to you!” With lightning speed, Zhang Wen pushed Iniel onto the bed. His arms were braced on either side of Iniel’s long neck, and his head was pressed down to within less than ten centimeters of her face.
“Oh? So, you’ve suddenly changed your opinion about that Teacher Zhang Wen?”
Just as Zhang Wen and the Kentucky trio stepped into the floating elevator, and the young man with a gentle smile wiped away the traces of the three Saint-level powerhouses with a wave of his hand, in the examiner’s room on the fourth floor of the Stellar Moon, Ge Luo was making a phone call with a tone full of sarcasm.
“No, of course, I haven’t changed my opinion. He’s a huge threat. Bigger than anyone else on this ship.”
On the other end of the psychic communicator was Luo Fulei, who had led Zhang Wen and his group to the airship but had to stay behind at the Infinite Arena due to the limit on the number of people.
“Hey! Then why is he still alive? Didn’t you say you were going to kill him before you left? Are you trying to tell me you suddenly had a change of heart and decided to let them go?” Ge Luo’s sarcasm grew thicker.
“Ge Luo, if you keep talking to me in that tone, do you believe that when you wake up tomorrow morning, you’ll find yourself missing a few crucial parts?” Luo Fulei laughed coquettishly, but her tone carried a chill that made Ge Luo shiver involuntarily.
“Tch! You failed your mission and still act so arrogantly… It’s fine if you want to be tough with me, but I’m afraid the teacher won’t be as lenient as I am.”
“My mission didn’t fail.”
“Haha! Luo Fulei, you didn’t forget the teacher’s order, did you? He said, no matter what method you use, you must get that Zhang Wen out of this competition. But now? He’s back on the airship with those three Kentucky fools, while you’re stuck on a small island in the Infinite Arena, and I have to go pick you up…”
“Enough nonsense, Ge Luo! I have my own plans. Zhang Wen will stay on the Stellar Moon for at least seven more days. During that time, I have plenty of time to fulfill the teacher’s orders.” Luo Fulei impatiently cut off Ge Luo’s mockery.
“Hey! Say whatever you want. Anyway, I’ll find someone to pick you up. But since you failed this time, the teacher will probably be very unhappy. You’d better be mentally prepared, don’t say I didn’t warn you.” Ge Luo laughed heartily and casually tossed the psychic communicator aside.
“Ge Luo.” The first examiner to appear in the selection, Marian, pushed the door open and walked in.
“Hmm?” Ge Luo looked up.
“Zhang Wen is back.”
“I know. I just got a call. Luo Fulei failed. She’s stuck on a small island to the south, and we need to figure out a way to get an airship to rescue her.” Ge Luo laughed with schadenfreude.
“Of course.” Marian nodded, then suddenly showed an incredulous expression. “Ge Luo, how can you still laugh? What on earth is Zhang Wen’s background? Dealing with a mere tenth-level martial artist, even Luo Fulei failed…”
“Hmph! No matter what his background is, he must leave this ship within three days.” Ge Luo suddenly punched out fiercely, smashing the luxurious wooden table in front of him to pieces.
“You’ve seen the teacher’s determination this time. If we can’t fulfill the teacher’s request before he personally boards the ship, even we… might not be able to withstand his anger!”
“Hmm.” Marian sighed softly.
A dozen minutes later, an airship that had previously returned to the Stellar Moon departed again, heading south.
At this time, Zhang Wen had returned to his room on the Stellar Moon. However…
“…I say, why are you following me? And why are those two big guys guarding outside my room?”
Looking at Yinier, who had followed him into his private room as if it were the most natural thing in the world, sitting on his bed without a hint of embarrassment, Zhang Wen couldn’t help but grimace.
Originally, Zhang Wen had planned to sneak out and search for Lailiya’s whereabouts while the Stellar Moon was resting at sea. After all, most of the sailors and bodyguards on the ship were gathered on the deck, and many of the competing martial artists hadn’t returned yet, making it the perfect time to look for someone.
But with Si and Kai blocking the door to Zhang Wen’s room, how was he supposed to get out?
“Our previous agreement was that our cooperation would only last until we left Pico Island. So, our cooperation has ended. Miss Yinier, you’re supposed to be the wise one of the Kentucky clan, don’t act like a jilted lover, okay?” Yinier remained silent for a long time, so Zhang Wen steeled himself and almost bluntly told her to leave.
“Teacher Zhang Wen, it’s no use. No matter what you say, I won’t leave. Unless you agree to my request.” Although Yinier was an extremely sexy beauty, and although she was sitting on the only large bed in the room, her stubborn expression left Zhang Wen with no room for any romantic thoughts, only a sense of helplessness.
To be honest, Zhang Wen was already starting to regret it. If he had known things would turn out like this, he might as well have set out with Shura and Fujiwara in the first place! After all, he would still encounter Luo Fulei’s attack later. With Luo Fulei, he could still gather four people to pilot the airship back to the Stellar Moon. And he wouldn’t have to deal with these “Kentucky plasters” in front of him.
“I’ve told you, your request is absurd! I’m just a martial arts instructor at the Almisius Academy! How could I possibly help you revive the Kentucky clan? Moreover, you want me to help you reclaim the Kentucky clan’s original territory? Are you out of your mind? That’s an entire continent, Miss Wise One!” Zhang Wen pleaded earnestly with Yinier, hoping she would leave quickly.
“No! You have the ability to revive the Kentucky clan!” Yinier remained unmoved. She looked at Zhang Wen and said loudly with unwavering determination, “This is the guidance given to me by the wise ones of the Kentucky clan throughout the ages. You are the person mentioned in the oldest legends of our Kentucky clan.”
“No, you’re mistaken.” Zhang Wen quickly waved his hands.
What a joke! He already had enough troubles on his plate! He didn’t want to shoulder a huge burden called “Reviving the Kentucky Clan”! Moreover, as far as Zhang Wen knew, the conditions Yinier demanded for reviving the Kentucky clan were simply impossible to fulfill!
The so-called Kentucky clan was actually the indigenous people living on the planet Kentucky. Later, when the empire expanded its territory to Kentucky, they quickly integrated with the Kentuckians and turned Kentucky into one of the most prosperous administrative colonial planets in the southern border of the empire.
The original Kentucky clan accepted this change. They signed an agreement with the empire. In the agreement, the Kentucky clan received one of the three continents on Kentucky, the “Pilgrimage Continent,” as the reserved territory of the Kentucky clan.
However, not long after, the empire’s pioneers discovered a large number of valuable mineral veins on the Pilgrimage Continent! This discovery quickly turned the Kentucky clan’s reserved territory into a fat piece of meat in the eyes of the empire’s nobility.
After a series of conspiracies, betrayals, and sellouts, the Kentucky clan’s reserved territory gradually shrank from an entire continent to a province, then from a province to a city…
Now, the population of the Kentucky clan, which was 7,600 two hundred years ago, has dwindled to less than 200. And the remaining reserved territory of the Kentucky clan is now just a small village, no larger than one-tenth of the size of Casares City. The rest has mostly fallen into the hands of the empire’s various noble families.
Among them, the one with the largest share is the Orleans family, currently known as the “most difficult to deal with” among the empire’s noble families.
Although Zhang Wen now had some strength, whether it was dealing with super-level powerhouses like Iron Mask or high-ranking officials like General William, he could manage to establish some connections. But compared to the Orleans family, a behemoth that had existed in the empire for over a thousand years, Zhang Wen was still just an insignificant little ant!
Not to mention, Yinier’s request was for Zhang Wen to help the Kentucky clan reclaim the entire Pilgrimage Continent. That would mean going against all the noble families in the empire!
Even a fool would know that this was an impossible task!
“No, I’m not mistaken.” No matter how earnestly Zhang Wen tried to persuade her, Yinier remained steadfast.
“You’re wrong!” Zhang Wen felt like he wanted to open up the head of this Kentucky wise one and see what was going on inside!
“I’m not wrong!” Yinier ignored Zhang Wen’s conflicted expression and stubbornly insisted.
“You… Hmph! Fine! If you won’t leave, then don’t blame me for being rude!” Seeing that reasoning with Yinier was futile, Zhang Wen decided to take a tougher approach.
He sneered as he walked towards Yinier.
“You… What are you doing?” As Zhang Wen approached, Yinier couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered.
“What am I doing? Of course, I’m going to be rude to you!” With lightning speed, Zhang Wen pushed Yinier down onto the bed. Zhang Wen’s arms were on either side of Yinier’s slender neck, and his face was less than ten centimeters away from hers.
“Heh heh!” Zhang Wen laughed triumphantly. He could clearly feel the body of the beautiful elf beneath him stiffen instantly.
Zhang Wen was almost certain that Yinier would either let out a panicked scream or slap him hard across the face. Whichever the elf beauty chose, Zhang Wen would have plenty of excuses to kick her out of the room.
However, far beyond Zhang Wen’s expectations…
Although Yinier did indeed look very panicked, and the blush on her face showed just how shy she was, the elf-like beauty didn’t make any of the moves Zhang Wen had imagined.
On the contrary, under Zhang Wen’s gaze, the blushing Yinier tightly closed her eyes and assumed a posture of complete surrender!
A wild, sexy beauty, full of the desire to be conquered, had yielded right before his eyes. Even a saint would probably be tempted. Zhang Wen was no exception.
However, Zhang Wen knew very well that the beauty before him was actually a hot potato that he couldn’t touch. If he got involved with Yinier, wouldn’t he really have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Kentucky clan?!
Get up! Get up now! Zhang Wen’s subconscious mind desperately warned him to get off Yinier immediately. But the other half of his will made a completely opposite judgment!
Yinier’s scorching body, her expression of extreme shyness yet forced endurance, all made Zhang Wen’s heart feel like it was on fire.
The combat energy of the Spring Water Technique uncontrollably surged through Zhang Wen’s body. That indescribable feeling made Zhang Wen realize that this time, he might be the one to lift a stone and drop it on his own foot!
“What are you waiting for?” Yinier’s unbearably shy words gave Zhang Wen the final push!
“Damn… it!” Zhang Wen only managed to utter two words before the combat energy of the Spring Water Technique exploded within his body.
Zhang Wen’s lips crossed the final ten centimeters and forcefully pressed against Yinier’s lips. The wonderful sensation made both their bodies feel as if they were on fire!
“Don’t! Si and Kai are still outside… Mmm! There… Mmm…” Yinier’s voice, sometimes shy, sometimes high-pitched, and sometimes tearful, kept ringing out.
She tried her best to lower her voice, not wanting her two subordinates outside to hear. But the unprecedented experience and the irresistible pleasure coming from her body made Yinier feel almost insane with conflict.
Yinier tightly hugged Zhang Wen, using all her strength to hold onto her last shred of rationality. But Zhang Wen’s roving hands easily shattered Yinier’s final defenses.
“Mmm…” The unbearably shy elf beauty bit down hard on Zhang Wen’s shoulder, completely letting herself go.
…
“Ah…! Haven’t they settled it yet? It’s already so late.” Drowsiness gradually set in, and Si, who was guarding the door, couldn’t help but yawn.
“Of course, it’s not that easy. No one understands the difficulty of reviving the Kentucky clan better than the wise one. That Zhang Wen isn’t a member of our Kentucky clan, so getting him to agree to help us probably won’t be that simple.”
“Ah…! I know it’s not that simple, but… Isn’t agreeing or not just a matter of saying yes or no? Does it really take this long? Ah…! Are they going to discuss it all night?” The sleepy Si kept yawning.
Click!
The door to Zhang Wen’s room suddenly opened, and Yinier walked out.
“Let’s go.” Yinier simply said a few words to the two Kentucky warriors and hurried towards her own room.
“Huh? That’s it? Yinier, how did your talk with that guy go? Did he agree?” The clueless Si quickly followed Yinier’s steps while asking.
“I don’t know. Anyway, he hasn’t agreed yet. Let’s go back, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow!” Yinier said without looking back, quickly turning into the corridor on the other side.
“Hey! Yinier?” Si and Kai, whose rooms were on the other side, could only look at each other helplessly and head back to their respective rooms.
Zhang Wen was almost certain that Iniel would either scream in panic or slap him hard. No matter which action this elven beauty chose, Zhang Wen would have plenty of excuses to drive her out of the room.
However, to Zhang Wen’s great surprise…
Although Iniel indeed looked very panicked, and the blush on her face indicated how shy she was. However, this elven beauty did not make any of the actions Zhang Wen had imagined.
On the contrary, under Zhang Wen’s gaze, the blushing Iniel actually closed her eyes tightly and assumed a posture of surrender, as if waiting to be plucked!
A wild and seductive beauty, so tempting and conquerable, was yielding before him. Even a saint would probably be moved. Zhang Wen was no exception.
However, Zhang Wen was very clear in his heart that this beauty in front of him was actually a scalding hot potato that he couldn’t touch. If he had a relationship with Iniel, wouldn’t he really have to take on the heavy responsibility of reviving the Kentucky clan?!
Get up! Get up quickly! Zhang Wen subconsciously kept reminding himself to get off Iniel immediately. However, the other half of his will made a completely opposite judgment!
Iniel’s scorching body, clearly so shy, yet insisted on enduring the expression, all made Zhang Wen’s heart feel like it was burning with fire.
The battle energy of Spring Water Technique uncontrollably surged through Zhang Wen’s body. That indescribable feeling made Zhang Wen realize that this time, he was probably going to end up hurting himself with his own stone!
“What are you waiting for?” Iniel’s shy words gave Zhang Wen the final blow!
“Damn…!” Zhang Wen only had time to say two words before the battle energy of the Spring Water Technique exploded in his body.
Zhang Wen’s lips crossed the final ten centimeters and forcefully pressed against Iniel’s lips. The wonderful sensation made both of their bodies feel as if they were burning with heat!
“Don’t! Si and Kai are still outside… Mmm! There… Mm…!” Iniel’s voice, sometimes coy, sometimes passionate, and sometimes tearful, kept rising and falling.
She tried her best to keep her voice low, not wanting her two subordinates outside to hear. However, the unprecedented experience and the irresistible pleasure coming from her body made Iniel feel almost mad with contradiction.
Iniel tightly hugged Zhang Wen, doing everything she could to hold onto the last bit of her reason. However, Zhang Wen’s pair of magical hands roaming over her body easily shattered Iniel’s final defenses.
“Mm…” The shy elven beauty bit hard on Zhang Wen’s shoulder, completely letting herself go.
…
“Ahhh! Haven’t they finished yet? It’s already so late.” Si, who was guarding outside the door, couldn’t help yawning as sleepiness gradually crept in.
“Of course it’s not that easy. No one knows better than the wise one how difficult the path to reviving the Kentucky clan is. That Zhang Wen isn’t even a member of our Kentucky clan. Getting him to agree to help us probably won’t be simple.”
“Yeah, I know it’s not that simple, but… isn’t agreeing or refusing just a matter of one sentence? Why does it take so long? Aaaah…! Don’t tell me they’re going to negotiate all night?” The sleepy Si kept yawning.
Click!
The door to Zhang Wen’s room suddenly opened, and Iniel walked out.
“Let’s go.” Iniel simply said a few words to the two Kentucky warriors and hurriedly walked toward her own room.
“Eh? That’s it? Iniel, how did your talk with that guy go? Did he agree?” The confused Si quickly asked while following Iniel’s footsteps.
“I don’t know either. Anyway, he hasn’t agreed yet. Let’s go back first. We’ll talk more tomorrow!” Without turning her head, Iniel said and quickly turned to the other side of the corridor.
“Hey! Iniel?” Si and Kai, whose rooms were on the other side, could only helplessly exchange glances before turning back to their respective rooms.
As a result, neither of the two Kentuckians, both far from being particularly perceptive, noticed that after turning the corridor, Iniel’s gait suddenly became extremely odd, and her face flushed as if it would bleed. The moment she dashed into her room at top speed, she leaned against the door, cupped her chest with her hands, and slowly slid down to sit on the floor, whispering softly to herself.
“Hey hey!… This definitely wasn’t part of the plan!” Zhang Wen blinked blankly at the bloodstain on the bedsheet in his room.
Everything had happened so suddenly and ended just as abruptly. Right after it was over, Iniel had suddenly broken free from Zhang Wen’s arms. She hadn’t even given him a chance to speak before hastily picking up her clothes, dressing quickly, and rushing out.
“No matter how I look at it, things shouldn’t have turned out like this,” Zhang Wen suddenly hit his own head hard.
A moment later, Zhang Wen also got off the bed, dressed himself, and pushed open the door.
It hadn’t been long since Iniel and the two Kentuckians left. Following the faint scent in the air, Zhang Wen soon arrived outside Iniel’s room.
Knock knock knock!
Zhang Wen knocked on Iniel’s door.
“Just a minute!” Soon after, the door opened slightly, revealing Iniel’s pretty face peeking out.
However, the moment she saw that it was Zhang Wen at the door, Iniel’s face flushed deeply red, and she tried hard to push the door shut again.
“Hey! What are you doing?” Fortunately, thanks to his cultivation of the Spring Water Technique, Zhang Wen’s reflexes were much faster than an average person’s. He quickly pressed his hand against the door before it could close completely.
After trying twice more and failing to shut the door, Iniel finally gave up on trying to shut Zhang Wen out. Yet she still didn’t open the door fully, instead keeping it slightly ajar and asking Zhang Wen with a stern expression.
“What do you want?”
“Uh…” Honestly speaking, Iniel’s question really caught Zhang Wen off guard. He hadn’t even thought about why he had come to find her.
Taking advantage of Zhang Wen’s hesitation, Iniel pushed the door again, attempting to shut him out.
“Don’t… wait!” Just as the door was about to close completely, Zhang Wen finally snapped back to his senses, frantically pressing his hand against the door again, leaving just a small gap.
“Just go back! I don’t want to see you again!” Iniel’s voice came from behind the crack.
“Hey! A few minutes ago, you were still in my room telling me I was the legendary figure destined to revive the Kentucky clan. How come now you won’t even let me see your face?”
“That was a mistake on my part!” Iniel’s stubborn voice came again.
“You didn’t make a mistake.”
“Yes! I did make a mistake!”
“Ah… you’re really a stubborn woman.” Zhang Wen sighed deeply and suddenly pushed the door open slightly.
“Do you understand what I’m saying? I said, you didn’t make a mistake!” Zhang Wen stared at Iniel’s face and said loudly, enunciating every word.
“No! It’s not like that!” Iniel shook her head violently.
“Why? Just now you were so eager for me to agree to help you revive Kentucky, so why are you refusing me now?”
“That was then, and this is now!”
“Come on! What’s the difference between then and now?”
“Of course there’s a difference! We… we did that!” Iniel shouted, her face flushed crimson.
“So what?”
“I know you don’t really want to agree to help me! Now that we’ve done that, if you agree, it will seem like I… I seduced you into agreeing! The legendary one definitely wouldn’t be like this!”
Zhang Wen shouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
“Iniel, so this is what’s been bothering you…” Zhang Wen couldn’t help but smile slightly, “What you said is indeed correct. At first, I really didn’t want to agree. I understand just as well as you how difficult it would be to revive the Kentucky clan. To be honest, I really didn’t want to get involved in such a complicated dream. In fact, I hadn’t even decided whether I should agree when I came here just now. Just like you said, if I were to recklessly throw myself into an almost impossible task just because something happened between me and a woman, wouldn’t that be ridiculous?”
“Then why are you still here?” Tears were about to spill from Iniel’s eyes.
“I’m still here because everything has changed!” Zhang Wen gazed into Iniel’s eyes. “Now I’m sure! Iniel, I like you!!! I’m agreeing not because of what happened between us, nor because of some stupid legend! Because I like you, I will help you achieve the dream you want! Iniel, you just said I’m not the legendary one, but who cares? Let the legendary guy appear whenever he wants! Now it’s me who wants to help you! Don’t you want that?”
“I…” The Kentucky sage had never felt so flustered before. After Zhang Wen finished speaking, Iniel felt as if her heart would leap out of her chest, pounding rapidly. Although tears streamed down her face, what welled up in her heart wasn’t sadness, but a strange, bewildering happiness.
“Don’t cry. It makes me sad too.”
In the moment Iniel was dazed, Zhang Wen took the opportunity to kiss the sensual lips of the elven beauty.
“Un!” Caught off guard by the “ambush,” Iniel instinctively gasped and pushed the door shut forcefully.
This time, even with his cultivation of the Spring Water Technique, Zhang Wen couldn’t dodge the door from such close proximity, facing the full force of Iniel’s “attack” as a Saint-ranked psychokineticist.
Bang! Zhang Wen’s head slammed heavily against the door.
“Ah?! Are you okay? Are you okay?” Realizing what she had done, Iniel hurriedly opened the door.
“Umm… seems fine. But you first tried to shut me out, then made me say so many embarrassing things. Finally, you hit me like that. I’ve paid quite a price,” Zhang Wen rubbed his head, his mouth twitching upward into a smile.
“You… what do you want?” Iniel immediately understood what Zhang Wen meant. That annoying guy was asking for “compensation” again.
“Didn’t we just… just let me do that… in your room earlier?”
Poor Elven beauty Iniel had already blushed countless times in front of Zhang Wen. As she spoke these words, she felt like she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. She couldn’t believe she had actually said such an embarrassing thing! But Iniel knew that if she didn’t say it, she might end up doing something even more embarrassing.
“Just like you said earlier, that was then, and this is now. How can what happened back then count for what’s happening now?” Zhang Wen wasn’t ready to let Iniel off the hook. He kept pressing forward, and in the blink of an eye, Iniel had retreated deep into the room. Her long legs hit the edge of the bed, and she gasped as she fell onto it.
Escape… was impossible!
Flustered and confused, Iniel tightly closed her eyes again. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, making her look incredibly adorable.
However, after a few seconds passed, Iniel didn’t receive the kiss she had imagined, nor did Zhang Wen do anything else to her.
“Huh?” Iniel secretly opened her eyes and saw Zhang Wen smiling at her. “You… you’re just teasing me on purpose, aren’t you?” Blushing furiously, Iniel was about to confront Zhang Wen, when she was surprised to see him extend his finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture.
“What’s wrong?” Iniel silently asked with her eyes.
“There’s someone outside the door,” Zhang Wen whispered softly into Iniel’s ear, his voice low enough so only the two of them could hear.
“Is it Kai and Si?” Iniel asked in a hushed tone. The thought of her current state being seen by her two clansmen made Iniel so embarrassed that she nearly wanted to die.
“No,” Zhang Wen’s reply made Iniel’s eyes widen in shock.
