BXBX NOVEL Chapter 690 - One Thought
Chapter 690: One Thought
‘A psychic!’
When that thought flashed in Happy’s mind, the gentlemanly-looking psychic vanished from his sight. Happy quickly spread out his spiritual senses, but he was too late. He could no longer find the immortal-looking person with his spiritual sense, and the only thing he left behind was the silver on the ground.
When Happy saw that astonishing sight, he immediately understood that he had run into an amazing person.
Even though he did not know his identity, that person should be in charge of providing him guidance in the quest.
After all, that quest was not something that a normal person could receive and complete. Whoever did it required a lot of courage, strength, and charm.
Even though Happy had played the game for a few years, when he faced a quest of such a grand scale and with so many Myth Realm martial artists, he had to admit that he was a little shaken and uneasy.
But now...
“Your fate with fortune entirely depends on your thoughts... My thoughts...”
Happy sucked in a deep breath and repeated the words he had heard while thinking about them. Suddenly, he felt his thoughts become clear.
No matter what quest he faced and what he had to face in the future, all of them were more or less the same.
When he was at Blessed Realm, he could face Mystical Realm and Life and Death Realm martial artists. When he was in Mystical Realm, he could kill the Moksha Realm Ninja King.
Right now, he was already in Moksha Realm, and he had five ultimate techniques with him. He had equipment that other players longed for, so there was really no need for him to be hesitant.
‘This is just a game.’
Happy had grown too serious and began to care about his losses and gains too much. He also treated his experiences and feelings from his previous life too seriously.
The threat and pressure from Myth Realm martial artists like Zhu Yuyan and Shi Zhixuan had been brought over from his old life into the new, and they restricted his movements when he dealt with the quest. They also made him really troubled.
‘At most, I’ll just die once.’
When he thought about the unshakeable position Mu Clan had in the Chinese server and how he occupied the top spot on Dragon Rank and Famous People Rank, he exhaled long and hard. While facing the setting sun across the river, he suddenly felt that he was no longer as melancholic as before.
*****
When night fell and lamps were lit, the riverbank of Yangzhou City became the best gathering spot for nightlife. Many pleasure boats had classic and beautiful lamps hanging from them, and they lit up the boats, revealing their incredibly exquisite and delicate designs. They also gave them a graceful atmosphere.
On that day, a huge pleasure boat sailed around the river while surrounded by other pleasure boats like stars surrounding a moon. The sight was incredibly grand.
‘This is...’
When Happy logged in, he saw the sight on the river, and puzzlement appeared in his eyes.
Many martial artists stood by the riverbank with their breaths held. They could vaguely hear the sound of the flute coming toward them from the river.
“Brother, stay on steady feet. Don’t fall into the river now.”
Someone beside Happy kindly tugged at his arm.
It was only at that moment that he noticed that he was incredibly close to the river. The tips of his feet even touched the water. After all, there were simply too many people at the riverbank.
“Thank you.”
“Haha, you’re welcome.”
That person did not know who he had just grabbed. It was night time, and everything was dark. But as Happy listened to his accent, he knew that the person was from the north.
“What are you watching?” Happy was unable to hold himself back from asking.
“Shi Qingxuan is playing the flute on the boat. The most popular girls from the brothels nearby and the people who are rather famous are there. I heard Shi Feixuan, Xu Zhiling, Li Shimin, and many elites inside as well.”
Happy said nothing.
Since it was dark and he could not see the other person, the man seemed just like a player who liked to gossip. While they stared at the boat on the river, the man continued to speak.
“During the day, someone saw that the key to Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse had appeared, which is why many people guessed that in at most twenty-four hours, Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse will show up. Look, the people who heard about it and came over have nearly congested Yangzhou.”
“Is that so?”
Happy finally understood why there were so many people around.
Such a major event might really be the sign that Eunuch Yang’s Warehouse was about to appear!
However, he was a little interested in the fact that Xu Zhiling and Shi Qingxuan had both appeared in the pleasure boat.
Xu Zhiling’s strength at the end of the story was at the peak of Inaction Realm, and he could practically fight against those in Myth Realm.
It was the same for Kou Zhong!
But Shi Qingxuan—Shi Zhixuan’s daughter—rarely displayed her strength. Her relevance to the plot right now was also vastly different from what it was in Happy’s previous life.
He had the urge to go to the pleasure boat and see just what was going on.
“Why aren’t you going in?”
“How can we? The area around the pleasure boat is surrounded by Inaction Realm evil cult elites and elites from other sects. There are also people from the imperial court. The entire area is surrounded, and plenty of people have already fallen into the river.”
Happy cast a glance at the surface of the river, which was not too far away from him, and he could not help but laugh.
He had spoken unnecessarily.
The pleasure boat was not big, and it could not carry many people. If the people on the riverboats had gone up there, the boat would have sunken a long time ago. By the looks of it, no one would be able to get up there unless they were skilled.
Splash...
A black shadow rose from the river and jumped over people’s heads in an incredibly pathetic manner. It landed on the street not too far away.
“What’s going on over there? Did you manage to see what’s going on clearly?”
Some people on the riverbank went over to check it out.
Happy’s hearing was pretty good, so he heard their conversation clearly.
One of the people panted while answering impatiently, “Damn it! Forget it, I didn’t manage to get anywhere near the big pleasure boat. I couldn’t even get past the small pleasure boats. Each of them has an elite guarding it, and there are also pirates in the water.
“Thank goodness I’m good with water and managed to avoid the disaster, but the other guys weren’t so lucky. Their stomachs were full of water when they went over, and now, they’re probably at Guanlin Temple.”
The speaker sounded a little smug about the last point.
The martial artists at the riverbank sucked in sharp breaths.
The pleasure boats were very far away from the riverbank, and if they flew there, they would use up a lot of qi. Yet it was too dangerous to fight at the surface of the river.
Based on what the speaker said, there were people lying in ambush in the water as well. There were only a few people who could reach the pleasure boat in the world of martial artists.
“Class One Hall and Towering Palace seem to have some thoughts.”
At that moment, Happy suddenly heard a conversation from the crowd that caught his attention.
He frowned and quickly spread out his spiritual senses to lock down on the person who had spoken. He traced the direction of their gaze and found two groups of people.
Men and women with Bamboo Hats stood in the crowd, but their outstanding presences made them incredibly eye-catching.
However, Happy could not be certain whether Blood Robes was among the people from Class One Hall.
As for Towering Palace, since they were in their own territory, they were in a favorable position and could move as they pleased. They did not need to hide like the people from Class One Hall and could occupy the spot they wanted with ease.
The people leading them were Musical Note and Clear Music. By their sides were Vice Palace Master Vast Heaven, Grim Green, elders Shangguan Lian and Hai Dongqing, along with other elites.
Their lineup was very impressive.
