Chapter 343: Chapter 45: Yan Wanfei’s Innate Divine Ability
“You want to meet with me, surely not to have me deliver that Array Plate to Li Yan Island?”
Lin Jing said, looking toward Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers.
If that was indeed the case, he wouldn’t say a second word but would turn around and leave.
Joking aside, a Fifth-Rank Trap-Killing Formation, plus a Golden Core Peak expert in residence.
Even with ten guts, Lin Jing wouldn’t dare to go in on a delivery job.
“Lin Daoyou, you misunderstand…” Holaw Three Rivers said.
“What we actually want you to do is to sell Niu San to Li Yan Island.”
As they spoke, Holaw Three Rivers and Lu Youjiu both glanced over at Yan Wanfei, who was eating merrily.
After listening to their words, Lin Jing was also baffled.
He couldn’t help but look towards Yan Wanfei.
……
At the moment, Yan Wanfei was happily engrossed in eating…
While Lin Jing and the others had been talking, didn’t all the food on the table belong to him?
In the span of their conversation, Yan Wanfei had already demolished almost half of the delicacies on the table.
It was then that Yan Wanfei suddenly felt something was off.
He hurriedly raised his head, noticing that Lin Jing and the other two were all looking at him.
He was instantly puzzled.
Having been so focused on eating, he hadn’t paid attention to their conversation and had no idea what was going on.
Yan Wanfei touched his face, found no food remnants, looked at his clothes and saw nothing amiss. He then spoke up, asking the others:
“Why are you all staring at me?”
Lin Jing spoke to Yan Wanfei:
“Lu Daoyou and Holaw Daoyou plan to sell you. Did you know that?”
“Ah…”
“Sell me?”
“Why?”
Yan Wanfei looked baffled, turning his gaze toward Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers.
Holaw Three Rivers looked at Yan Wanfei with a smile that was not quite a smile, then said:
“Your brother Lu wants to eat beef.”
Yan Wanfei was immediately alarmed:
“Don’t, brother Lu…”
“I’m a Green illusion Demon Ox, my meat doesn’t taste good.”
Lu Youjiu, however, glared at Yan Wanfei and said:
“Eat your food, it’s none of your concern.”
“Oh…” Yan Wanfei murmured like one who had been wronged and then bowed his head again.
However, this time.
Although he lowered his head to continue enjoying the food, his ears perked up, listening carefully to their conversation.
……
“Why sell Yan Wanfei to Li Yan Island? Could it be that Dai Mao has some sort of connection with the Green illusion Demon Ox clan?” Lin Jing asked after a while.
“Not exactly…” Holaw Three Rivers replied.
“That Dai Mao has a certain penchant for cute and pretty little girls.”
“Especially those who are young and look very pitiable, particularly young demon girls, he’s extremely fond of them.”
“Whenever he encounters one, he tries every means to take her for himself.”
As Holaw Three Rivers said this, Lin Jing also immediately understood the situation.
Holaw Three Rivers continued:
“As for the fate of those girls, I think you can guess without me saying.”
Lin Jing nodded.
Given that Dai Mao was a Demon Cultivator, his actions hardly needed elaboration; anyone who fell into his hands would undoubtedly face a tragic end.
“What’s your plan?” Lin Jing asked Holaw Three Rivers again.
“Everything depends on Niu San…” Holaw Three Rivers looked toward Yan Wanfei as he spoke.
“You can forget about me sneaking into Li Yan Island, don’t even think about it. With my cultivation, I’ll probably be killed and turned into beef the moment I set foot there.”
Yan Wanfei had been listening carefully to their conversation ever since the talk began.
Now, he understood what selling him off meant.
He quickly shook his head like a rattle drum to show his disagreement.
It was then that Lu Youjiu spoke up to Yan Wanfei:
“Niu San, reveal your true form for Lin Daoyou to see.”
Yan Wanfei paused for a moment, then nodded and replied:
“Oh, alright.”
“Lin brother, take a good look.”
After saying that, the aura around Yan Wanfei began to change, and a misty green light started to burst forth. With time, the green light grew stronger, eventually enveloping Yan Wanfei entirely.
A moment later, the green light faded away.
Then, Yan Wanfei was completely transformed.
His head took on the form of a green ox with two curving horns jutting forward, intricately patterned.
His ox eyes were small, and not fierce-looking, which, coupled with his wide, abyss-like mouth, actually made him somewhat comical.
But his body remained human.
Though it was a human form, Lin Jing could sense an incredibly strong demonic aura emanating from it.
Yan Wanfei turned his ox head, staring with those small eyes, and with a grin he said to Lin Jing:
“Lin brother, this is what I really look like. Didn’t scare you, did I?”
“No, not at all…” Lin Jing quickly replied.
“Alright, change back. Otherwise, this whole table’s worth of food won’t even last you two bites.”
Lu Youjiu said this to Yan Wanfei.
“Cough… cough…”
Lu Youjiu’s words were indeed too sharp, Lin Jing almost laughed out loud but managed just to clear his throat twice to mask his embarrassment.
Holaw Three Rivers had no such reaction,
as he seemed to be used to their company.
“Brother Lu, you’re the ones who asked me to transform,” Yan Wanfei complained softly.
Following that, a mist of green light enveloped him again, and Yan Wanfei transformed back into his rugged manly appearance.
Then.
Holaw Three Rivers opened his mouth and spoke to Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, can you use your Divine Sense to check Niu San to see if you can find anything out of the ordinary?”
After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded, then extended his Divine Sense towards Yan Wanfei.
However.
After some investigation, he didn’t find any abnormalities.
He seemed like a typical Human Cultivator.
Even the demon aura on his body had disappeared without a trace.
“This…” Lin Jing was immediately incredibly surprised.
You must know that Lin Jing’s Divine Sense was by now equivalent to that of a Golden Core Late Stage.
Yet even so, he still couldn’t see through Yan Wanfei’s disguise.
“My true form is a Green Illusion Demon Ox, and our race’s innate magical ability is disguise. Even though my current Cultivation is only at the early stage of Golden Core, even Nascent Soul Cultivators would have difficulty detecting my disguise,” said Yan Wanfei.
“Lin Brother, you needn’t bother any further,” he added.
After hearing this, Lin Jing pondered.
Then, he asked Yan Wanfei:
“Your kind of disguise, can it become someone else?”
Yan Wanfei, looking proud, replied:
“Of course.”
“Our Green Illusion Demon Ox race’s innate magical ability is not that simple.”
“It can disguise as anything at all, even imitating the aura of one’s Cultivation.”
As he spoke, Yan Wanfei’s body once more burst forth with a hazy green light.
A moment later, as the green light dispersed.
Another ‘Holaw Three Rivers’ appeared.
Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense again to investigate this Holaw Three Rivers.
This time, he still didn’t find any abnormalities.
Afterward, Yan Wanfei changed back to his original appearance.
One must say, Yan Wanfei’s racial innate ability was indeed powerful.
By this time, Lin Jing also understood what Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers meant by ‘selling Niu San’.
“You want Yan Daoyou to disguise himself as a young girl, and then have me sell him to Li Yan Island, is that it?” asked Lin Jing.
Upon hearing this, the two nodded, then turned to look at Yan Wanfei and said with a smile:
“Exactly, that’s what we mean.”
Meanwhile, Yan Wanfei, now understanding, quickly howled in protest:
“No… ”
“Youjiu, San He, you two can’t cheat me like this.”
“You never discussed this with me before.”
Lu Youjiu directly said:
“No problem, we don’t need to discuss with you, just know what you have to do when the time comes.”
“Come on, even if I’m just an honest ox, you can’t bully me like this, Youjiu.”
Lu Youjiu ignored Yan Wanfei’s howls.
And turned to ask Lin Jing directly:
“Lin Daoyou, what do you think?”
Lin Jing asked with curiosity:
“If someone needs to cooperate to sell Yan Daoyou to Li Yan Island, couldn’t just anyone do it?”
Holaw Three Rivers shook his head and said to Lin Jing:
“You are wrong about that, the task of selling Niu San isn’t one just anyone can do.”
Then Holaw Three Rivers began to explain:
“For this task, we need to first go to Black Xing Island, which is under the Black Shark Gang’s control.”
“Black Xing Island specializes in various kinds of human trafficking and slave trade markets.”
“Because we often do missions, Youjiu and I have a bit of fame in this sea area.”
“Showing up there rashly would certainly attract the attention of those with intent.”
“Even if we wanted to disguise ourselves, with the variety of Cultivators mingling in Black Xing Island, there might be some who can see through disguises.”
“Especially those Demon Cultivators born with innate magical abilities who can penetrate most disguises, we can’t guarantee that we won’t be exposed.”
“Therefore, we need a stranger to go to Black Xing Island to sell Niu San.”
After saying this, Holaw Three Rivers looked Lin Jing up and down:
“And you, both in appearance and in demeanor, quite resemble those unreasonably aggressive Demon Cultivators.”
“Therefore, it would be most appropriate for you to go.”
Lin Jing was speechless for a moment; his appearance was entirely due to practicing the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique and it had resulted in this.
And the aura he exuded was due to practicing the Overlord Divine Physique, something he couldn’t control.
Now, the final layer of the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique wasn’t easy to cultivate, and changing back to his original appearance would likely be impossible in the short term.
Continuing.
Holaw Three Rivers asked Lin Jing again:
“What do you think?”
Lin Jing then pondered for a while.
“If that’s the case, it really might work. After all, I’d only be going to Black Xing Island to sell Yan Wanfei, and I wouldn’t encounter any danger.”
After thinking it over, Lin Jing asked again:
“Have you discussed the specifics? What exactly do I need to do?”
Holaw Three Rivers nodded and said:
“Youjiu and I have already planned everything.”
“Our idea is to first have Niu San transform into a young girl.”
“Then have you take her to Black Xing Island, set a price, and attempt to sell her.”
“With Black Xing Island being a den of mixed fish and dragons, during this time, many people will surely inquire, and you just need to set an exceedingly high price that deters others.”
“That Dai Mao, although he always stays on Flame Island and never leaves, still often sends his subordinates to pick out young girls to send to Flame Island.”
“Once Dai Mao’s subordinates go to Black Xing Island, we will find a way to let you know.”
“And all you have to do is, after negotiating back and forth, reluctantly sell Niu San to Dai Mao’s subordinates.”
“Once you have sold Niu San to the people of Flame Island, your mission will be complete.”
“Then come out and meet with us, and we will go to Flame Island together. All you need to do is follow us and watch us as we ascend the island and kill, no need for any other concerns.”
“It’s that simple?” Lin Jing asked, looking at Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers.
“It’s that simple!” The two replied.
