Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1159B – Nether Island

Chapter 1159B – Nether Island

The Nether Royal Bloodline fled from the world. There were no more than a handful of people who knew their whereabouts in the abyss.

If King Mystery brought Qin Yu back to Nether Island without hesitation, this alone showed how highly regarded he was.

Not to mention the joyous performances of the four people from the ship after they successfully competed for Qin Yu. That made the people who flew up from the island further confirm that Qin Yu’s identity was no trifling matter.

“We cannot violate King Mystery’s will. Why must you four make things hard for us?”

“Humph! His Excellency King Mystery has already ordered us to look after Qin Yu!”

Both sides refused to back down and neither could convince the other. Seeing that Qin Yu had no intention of meddling, they could only take a step back and join forces.

So next, Qin Yu solidly enjoyed the super VIP level treatment of the Nether Royal Bloodline. Everything was meticulously arranged for him.

Mian Ya had already woken up. She followed behind Qin Yu. Even though she was dizzy, she felt as if she discovered some great truth – young master Qin Yu really wasn’t an ordinary person. Even the Nether Royal Bloodline had to flatter him so much.

Thick thigh…super thick thigh…super thick golden thigh!

After confirming that he didn’t need anything several times, it was only then that Qin Yu managed to send away the enthusiastic juniors of the Nether Royal Bloodline.

He turned and sat on a seat. With a sigh, he rubbed his eyebrows. The flattery from those fellows came like a tide, so much so that it left him exhausted just listening to them.

Before he could rub his eyebrows a few more times, small and soft hands landed on his scalp from behind and started to vigorously rub.

“If young master is tired, please rest.”

It could only be said that Mian Ya’s skills were wonderful. Qin Yu subconsciously leaned back into the chair as she kneaded his scalp.

He never imagined that after leaning back, he would bump into two soft and round masses. He coughed and said nothing.

Mian Ya blushed red and drew back a little. Then, she felt a little regret. It was rare that the young master took the initiative to approach her, but she had unexpectedly retreated.

What are you doing? You must still be dizzy! If I push myself back forward, will the young master dislike it?

Mian Ya hesitated. Then, she took a deep breath. Just as she was preparing to do something, Qin Yu opened his eyes and waved his hand.

“That’s enough. I want to be alone for a while. Go and rest.”

Mian Ya’s eyes flashed with disappointment but she didn’t dare to object. She obediently turned and went to her own room.

Shua –

A sharp light flashed in his eyes. His lips curved up in a smile as he slowly glanced around. Originally, he thought his chances of finding the channel deep within the Cold Sea were 50-60% at most.

But now, after seeing the hiding place of the Nether Royal Bloodline, he believed he had at least an 80% chance of finding the way to return to the bright world.

This caused Qin Yu to feel impatient!

But no matter how anxious he was, he had to take his time. King Mystery was very clear when he said that the depths of the Cold Sea were extremely terrifying and they had to be fully prepared.

Disregarding all else, purely on this matter alone, Qin Yu didn’t think that King Mystery had any reason to deceive him.

He just didn’t know how much time that old fellow needed to arrange everything.

Even if people from the Royal Nether Bloodline couldn’t see through his story, they certainly wouldn’t choose to believe everything he said.

For something so important, it was unknown how much effort they had spent to arrange everything. Yet after all of that, they obtained nothing in the end. There were bound to be some sharp words and arguments.

Facts proved that Qin Yu was right. For the next three days, he didn’t see King Mystery.

Fortunately, the care of the Nether Royal Bloodline remained perfect and meticulous. There didn’t seem to be any major problems.

This was good. As long as King Mystery could stand firm, this would just cost him some more time.

Qin Yu was anxious, but this was only several days. It couldn’t be considered anything at all.

As he calmed down, he began to continue his previous pastime from when he was coming here – looking at the skies, looking at the air, looking all around.

The island where the Nether Royal Bloodline was hiding away certainly wasn’t ordinary. It had its own unique flavor. The more Qin Yu saw, the more fascinated he was. Like this, it wasn’t difficult to pass time.

On the tenth day after reaching Nether Island, a weary King Mystery finally appeared in front of him. When he saw Qin Yu’s fully vigorous appearance, he secretly gnashed his teeth.

These past days, he had been so busy that he almost fell over himself. Not only had he needed to deal with all sorts of questions and doubts from the tribe, he also had to make various arrangements.

If he wanted to explore the depths of the Cold Sea, he certainly needed a reason. The reason that King Mystery gave was that he wanted to find the missing True King from their bloodline.

It was a tall announcement that was impossible to refuse from any angle. But it also meant that everyone could see it was an obvious pretense.

It wasn’t that King Mystery didn’t want to find a better reason, but there simply wasn’t a good one to be found.

As for Qin Yu’s status and why he was brought back to Nether Island? King Mystery simply said something about an old friend and changed the subject.

There was no need for further explanation. And with his True King boundary cultivation, he indeed had the qualifications to bring people to the island.

You asked me a question and I gave an answer. But this is it. As for whether or not the answer satisfies you…sorry, but I don’t care about that.

Sensing King Mystery’s dissatisfaction, Qin Yu smiled and poured him a cup of tea. “This tea is great. Senior, please take a sip before speaking.”

King Mystery humphed out loud. Did he really need Qin Yu to appraise the quality of their Nether Royal Bloodline’s tea? He took a sip and said, “The arrangements have been completed. We will leave within two days.”

He looked at Qin Yu and said, “Do you really wish to go into the depths of the Cold Sea?”

Qin Yu nodded.

“And you can’t tell me your goal?”

Qin Yu nodded.

King Mystery’s teeth itched with anger. Why was this bastard pretending to be all deep and mysterious? Just you wait…wait until…when he realized that there was still a hundred years of this left, all of his threatening thoughts broke apart as soon as they appeared.

He threw out a demon crystal. What was recorded within was information about the Cold Sea that the Nether Royal Bloodline had compiled over the years. King Mystery left with a glum look.

Qin Yu probed it with his divine sense. It was naturally impossible for this to be a complete record, but some pieces of information were still valuable.

After he finished reading through everything, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again his gaze was several degrees brighter.

The extreme depths of the Cold Sea…he hoped it wouldn’t disappoint him.

King Mystery’s words were still worth trusting. Two days later, a well-prepared giant ship sailed out from the island.

That’s right, it was a giant ship. It was even larger than the ship that left Black City.

But on this ship, including Qin Yu and Mian Ya, there were only seven people.

King Mystery and the previous four royal bloodline juniors were the other passengers onboard.

In comparison to King Mystery’s dignified expression, the other four royal bloodline juniors were all excited.

They didn’t know the real reason why King Mystery was exploring the extreme depths of the Cold Sea, but this was undoubtedly an opportunity.

There were certainly dangers, and not just ordinary dangers at that. But with King Mystery here, they believed there was a minimum level of safety guaranteed.

As long as the trip went well and they put on a good display of their skills, they would enter King Mystery’s eyes and their futures would be limitless!

This alone was worth fighting for.

Of course, there was also another important reason for why the four royal bloodline juniors felt relieved.

Qin Yu and Mian Yu were also on the ship.

Hehe, this was simple logic. Qin Yu’s aura wasn’t much and he likely wasn’t stronger than them.

If he wasn’t afraid, then they definitely didn’t need to be afraid!

Yes, Qin Yu’s status was different so he might have some kind of hidden card, but Mian Ya was just a beautiful maid. Could her life-maintaining methods compare to theirs?

Since even Mian Ya was brought here, that meant there was a certain degree of safety assurance.

If King Mystery were to learn the thoughts of these four, he likely would have scolded them for being a bunch of idiots.

Can the likes of you compare to Qin Yu? You can’t even compare to his maid!

Don’t be dissatisfied, this is the truth. Believe it or not, even I might not be able to survive longer than these two.

Qin Yu held Mian Ya’s hand. His eyes were calm and his heart was even calmer.

At this moment, he didn’t have any particular idea in mind. He just felt that doing things like this would give Mian Ya a bigger chance of surviving.

Because she was a chess piece left behind to counter his avatar.

Strictly speaking, an avatar wouldn’t betray the main body. But a betrayer had appeared even amongst the shadows of the abyss, so what else was impossible in this world?

In short, it was never wrong to be discreet.

Black Astral was the first chess piece that Qin Yu had placed in the open. Mian Ya was the second chess piece he placed in the shadows.

The hidden chess piece was certainly more important. Moreover, his avatar would likely never expect that he would put something so important in Mian Ya’s hands.

He looked out at the black Cold Sea, his complexion serene. In this serenity, there was a confidence to face anything.

Qin Yu was truly prepared to accept any consequence.

The giant ship left the vortex and sailed deeper into the Cold Sea. The red lanterns released their light, but the light wasn’t able to travel too far before it was cleanly swallowed up.

In the darkness, the cold grew increasingly heavy!
