77: Are we going to fight?

Jia Gu Yi Yan going up to deliver the finishing blow was naturally not simply due to anger.

Realizing that this woman had killed someone, he understood that things might not be so simple.

To be safe, it was best to knock all these guys unconscious.

It could also prevent further spread of information.

As for this woman killing someone…

Jia Gu Yi Yan had also been in fights, treating Hoodlums to black coffee and the like.

He didn't feel he had done anything wrong.

He only felt he was too hospitable.

One must first understand the reason why the other party made a mistake, and then judge their character.

The fact that she could admit to him that she had killed someone, not deceive him, and let him take her away,

Showed that her nature was not bad, and there must have been a reason for her to do such a thing.

“Come with me, and tell me clearly what happened.”

At this moment, there wasn't much time left until the ferry departed.

With Jia Gu Yi Yan's identity, getting an extra ticket and faking a new identity was naturally not difficult.

So he took Li Cuiling onto the ship.

Not long after the two left, two tall men arrived at the battle scene.

Looking at the Hoodlums scattered on the ground, the two men crawled on the ground, sniffing back and forth over the Hoodlums' bodies like beasts.

“The smell of fire.”

“It's the Fire Finch's Summoner.”

“Delicious.”

The two tall figures exchanged words while drooling.

Then, they actually lowered their heads and began to gnaw on the unconscious Hoodlums on the ground.

Until one of the men stopped gnawing and looked at the other man who had removed his mask, revealing a terrifying and ferocious mouthpart.

“The ship is about to leave, stop eating.”

“Okay!”

The man bit off the entire face of a Hoodlum on the ground before getting up and leaving together.

At this time, all the Hoodlums on the ground were, without exception,

Their faces had been gnawed clean.

Moreover, they seemed to be completely unaware of the pain, and were not dead, still remaining in a coma.

As if they didn't even know their faces had been eaten clean.

The ferry was very large; after checking tickets, one would take a bus to the port where the ferry was docked.

Then, enter the ferry's interior via a gangway.

Although it was Jia Gu Yi Yan's first time on a ferry, because it was a luxury private room, he enjoyed VIP service.

He was guided to the private room throughout, so even for his first time, it didn't feel troublesome.

Through the private room's window, the sea could be clearly seen.

Closing the private room door, Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at Li Cuiling, who was also surveying her surroundings.

“Tell me what happened.”

Looking at Jia Gu Yi Yan, Li Cuiling began to recount the events.

After so long, it was her first time finding someone she could confide in.

Midway through, her body couldn't help but tremble, and tears streamed down her face.

“Alright, you don’t need to say anymore.”

“It’s not your fault; those people deserved to die.”

“You did nothing wrong; those scumbags deserved to die.”

“Don’t bear too heavy a burden; just treat it as a nightmare that never happened.”

“Everything is fine now; no one will ever try to catch you and take you back again.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan got up and said, patting Li Cuiling's head.

And Li Cuiling seemed to be releasing the pain of this period.

She embraced Jia Gu Yi Yan and burst into tears.

Once she calmed down again, Jia Gu Yi Yan spoke once more.

“What are your plans now?”

“Don’t keep dwelling on this matter; you need to learn to look forward.”

“And don’t think about going back for revenge; just leave this matter to me.”

“I don’t know.”

Li Cuiling shook her head blankly.

Her previous composure seemed to have triggered her body's instinctive protective ability.

Now, after a good cry, she returned to normal.

But she didn't know what to do next.

She had killed someone, and those experiences made it impossible for her to continue living in society.

Her parents' expectations would now only see their daughter become a wanted murderer.

“I will find a way to eliminate the impact of this matter, so your identity can be restored.”

“And then you can return to your previous life.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan repeated White Feather's words from his earpiece.

After all, White Feather was much more reliable than her for these matters.

And what he could do was probably, after the volcano trip, go back and kick the balls of everyone in Yixuan Hall.

“…Thank you.”

Li Cuiling had many words of gratitude she wanted to say.

But when the words reached her lips, they turned into a simple three words.

She felt her gratitude was somewhat powerless and insincere.

Wanting to say more, she realized she seemed to have reverted to that inarticulate country girl.

Unable to speak more words of thanks.

“You’re welcome…”

Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at Li Cuiling's gratitude, but felt a bit guilty and uneasy inside.

He had long been aware of Yixuan Hall's existence but had never dealt with it.

His focus had been entirely on fighting monsters and cultivating.

The power of the armor was meant to protect all humans.

If he had realized this sooner, would these things not have happened?

Having no time or anything else was just an excuse.

He could shorten his sleep time even further to do these things.

As long as he adapted for a few days, his current physique should be able to handle it.

Jia Gu Yi Yan looked at the sea outside the window and sighed.

As for Li Cuiling, perhaps she was exhausted to her limit, lying on the bed and falling asleep.

Jia Gu Yi Yan sat cross-legged, took out Torrential Rain E, and continued to circulate the Mian Yu Technique.

Seize the time, strive not to waste a single moment!

Jia Gu Yi Yan did not feel that such a life was tiring.

Or rather, when the First Generation passed the power to him, when he bestowed the Light Armor upon him,

He felt that he was no longer striving alone.

Bearing the First Generation's expectations, he had to work even harder, even harder.

All time must be utilized in honing combat techniques and cultivating combat methods.

The sun had completely risen, and the sea reflected a shimmering expanse.

Bang!

The ship suddenly swayed violently.

Jia Gu Yi Yan opened his eyes, quickly got out of bed, reached into his embrace with his right hand, and tightly gripped the Summoner.

Although he was cultivating the Mian Yu Technique, he never forgot to remain vigilant of his surroundings.

What happened on the plane has been exposed.

Mu Men on the other side clearly knew that the Fire Finch and its Summoner had already arrived in Haizhou City.

And then they were going to Wanzhou Island.

There must be monsters ambushing on this ferry.

He had to be ready for battle at all times.

“Stay here, don’t wander around.”

Jia Gu Yi Yan woke Li Cuiling and instructed her, then pushed open the door and quickly went to the deck.

The moment he passed through the corridor, two tall men walked towards him.

Their height and build were almost identical to Jia Gu Yi Yan's, making Jia Gu Yi Yan unable to help but take another look.

And the two men also cast their gaze towards Jia Gu Yi Yan.

Just as the three of them brushed past each other,

One of them's nose suddenly twitched, then he stopped.

“Stop.”

In the not-so-spacious corridor, three tall men stood still simultaneously, separated by a distance, back to back.

The air also fell silent.

The doors on both sides of the corridor suddenly opened, but seeing the three burly men confronting each other in the corridor, the people inside wisely closed them again.

A slight sweat broke out on Jia Gu Yi Yan's forehead.

The two monsters also had their backs to Jia Gu Yi Yan, exchanging glances.

Jia Gu Yi Yan's physical body was weak without transforming.

How could the monsters not be the same…

“The smell of fire, so hungry!”

Finally, the man wearing the mask was the first to attack, turning around and tearing off his mask at the same time.

Beneath the mask, spiral-shaped fangs were hidden, resembling the mouthparts of a lamprey.

In the center of the mouthpart, a barbed tongue twisted and wriggled, biting towards Jia Gu Yi Yan.

Jia Gu Yi Yan circulated the Basic Breathing Technique, his body instantly breaking through its limits, retreating towards the deck behind him.
