Chapter 56: Netherworld Sea

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“What happened?” Yang Dingtian was shocked and asked quickly.

However, Ximen Ningning cried out in fear when she saw Yang Dingtian’s body covered in fresh blood. “How did you get hurt like this?”

Then, she reached out towards Yang Dingtian’s wounds with a trembling hand.

“I’m fine. It’s barely a flesh wound,” Yang Dingtian dismissed her concerns. “Tell me quickly. What’s happening in Cloud Sky City?”

“It’s about Yanyan,” Ximen Ningning answered.

Yang Dingtian was scared. “What happened to Yanyan? Did that bastard Yang Yan do anything?”

“No, Yanyan is fine,” Ximen Ningning said. “But someone from the Netherworld Sea has come to see her.”

Yang Dingtian was a bit confused. It shouldn’t have been a big deal for someone from the Netherworld Sea to come see Yanyan. Ningning didn’t have to ride the Floating Ray here just to deliver this message.

Ningning explained, “Besides that, although I gave you some pills and the Deep Sea Xuan clothes this morning, I forgot to give you the most important thing: a good weapon. I was horrified when I suddenly realized that I let you wander off with a steel sword to kill Demonic beasts. Thus, I immediately hopped on Ray Ray to find you.”

If he had a good weapon, he believed that killing the two Demonic beasts wouldn’t have been that hard. Yang Dingtian didn’t have much Xuan energy so it was impossible for him to pierce through a beasts’ skin whether it was the Fiery Demon Wolf or the Wind Shadow Demon Snake.

“See? I’m still okay, aren’t I?” Yang Dingtian smiled.

“Luckily, you’re still fine. Otherwise, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life.” Ximen Ningning said. She then attempted to pull Yang Dingtian aboard the Floating Ray.

“It’s okay. I’m not that weak.” Yang Dingtian laughed and jumped on the Floating Ray.

“Ray Ray, I’m sorry for troubling you again.” Yang Dingtian gently stroked the Floating Ray’s neck.

Ray Ray then let out a soft voice and used its neck to rub against Yang Dingtian’s palm.

Ningning gently jumped aboard the Floating Ray’s back and sat behind Yang Dingtian.

“By the way, have you gotten a demon nucleus?” Ximen Ningning only now recalled this important matter.

“Yes, I got it.” Yang Dingtian said. “I killed one Fiery Demon Wolf and one Wind Shadow Demon Snake. I already have the fire-type and wind-type demon nuclei.”

“Ahhh...” Ximen Ningning was shocked. Incredulous, she asked, “How did you do it? You killed a Fiery Demon Wolf and a Wind Shadow Demon Snake with only an ordinary steel sword? Wind Shadow Demon Snakes are so powerful that even five Five Star Novice Martial Artists wouldn’t be able to kill one. They might be killed instead!”

“Yea, that’s true. That bastard was really strong,” Yang Dingtian said. He then recounted his entire encounter with the Wind Shadow Demon Snake.

Ximen Ningning’s delicate face turned pale after hearing his story. “You’re really amazing. You even knew how to kill the Wind Shadow Demon Snake by using an Enchanted Orchid.”

Yang Dingtian was a little embarrassed by her praise. He quickly changed the topic and asked, “By the way, what’s going on? Why is someone from the Netherworld Sea here to see Yanyan?”

“This is going to be a long story. Let’s head back first, I’ll heal you and tell you the story along the way,” Ningning said. She then patted the Floating Ray’s back and said, “Ray Ray, let’s go home.”

Floating Ray let out a cry. It spread its wings and flew up towards Cloud Sky City. Despite the fact that it was carrying both of them, it was still fast and steady as it smoothly flew through the sky.

Back in the small cabin, Yang Dingtian was lying in a wooden barrel filled with medicinal soup. His naked upper body was exposed. There were many wounds, some of which had penetrated deeply to the bone.

“Why’re haven’t you taken the pills I gave you?” Ximen Ningning admonished him in a neutral tone. She then poured the milky-white liquid on her hand and gently applied it to Yang Dingtian’s wounds.

Yang Dingtian wasn’t a tough guy. He immediately convulsed a bit from the pain, “Initially, I thought it was such a waste for me to take the pills. But then, I ended up not having time to take them. I told you not to give me the high-grade pills.”

“How can you think like this?” Ximen NIngning again admonished him using a neutral tone. Even if she was lecturing him, her voice still remained soft.

After her soft hand slathered the medicine over his wounds, they began to heat up as the medicine permeated his skin. The originally bloody red wounds immediately stitched themselves together and left only deep red scars. The medicine really was amazing!

“Oh, I have a gift for you.” Yang Dingtian recalled the Enchanted Orchid and suddenly stood up in the barrel.

“No, don’t stand up,” Ximen Ningning said.

But, it was too late. When Yang Dingtian stood up and lifted up his leg to step out, he suddenly realized that he was completely naked from the waist down. What was worse, his thing currently looked like it had a powerful fighting spirit. He immediately sat back down in the milky-white medicine and splashed a little bit onto Ningning’s delicate face.

“I’m, I’m sorry.” Yang Dingtian instinctively reached out to Ningning’s face to wipe it off. “What happened to my pants?”

Ximen Ningning’s face immediately turned red. “They were dissolved by the medicine.”

Then, she went outside and brought back a new pair of pants and a towel. She passed them to Yang Dingtian, turned around, and said, ” Ok, you can come out now.”

Yang Dingtian stepped out of the wooden barrel looking embarrassed. He took the towel and wiped off his body. The entire room’s atmosphere was very awkward with Ximen Ningning standing not far away from him.

After putting on the pants, Yang Dingtian stared at his indecent crotch, wondering why it looked so vulgar even though he didn’t have any wicked thoughts. Furthermore, most of his body was naked. He couldn’t help but ask, “Do you have bathrobes?”

“No, you just soaked in medicine and can’t wear any clothes,” Ningning answered.

It was way too rude for him to stay in his current state. Yang Dingtian quickly sat down on a chair and took out the parcel containing the Enchanted Orchid. ” Take it. I found it in the Red Wilderness today.”

“Enchanted Orchid!” Ximen Ningning was very surprised. “This orchid is so rare and you managed to find it.”

“It’s just a flower. Compared to what you gave me, it’s nothing.”

After hearing Yang Dingtian’s words, Ximen Ningning expression suddenly became dull. She accepted the Enchanted Orchid and said gently, “Thank you.”

Yang Dingtian could sense her unhappiness.

He asked, “Did I say something wrong?”

Ximen Ningning then replied, “This was very dangerous. Please don’t do it again. Also, I don’t feel you owe me anything, okay?”

Yang Dingtian was slightly stunned but still nodded. Then, the two of them felt awkward again.

He really wanted to ask why Ximen Ningning was so good to him. There was really no reason for her to treat him this well. He thought for a moment and ended up not asking.

“Sister Ningning, why were you so anxiously trying to get me back to Cloud Sky City? What’s going on with the person from the Netherworld Sea here to see Yanyan? What’s happening? It’s Yanyan’s right to see whoever she wants, right?”

“Of course it’s fine for Yanyan to see the person from the Netherworld Sea. However, she wants to go with that person to the Netherworld Sea. I really can’t persuade her to stay, so I can only ask you to talk to her.”

“What?” Yang Dingtian asked nervously. “Why would Yanyan follow that person back to the Netherworld Sea? Who is he? Why would she want to go with him?”

“His name is Song Yu, a disciple of Netherworld Sea. Yanyan wants to go with him to treat her Xuan veins,” Ximen Ningning explained. “This matter is very complicated so listen to me carefully.”

The Netherworld Sea is one of the most mysterious places in the world. It’s good and evil at the same time. Everyone has only one opinion of the place, which is that Netherworld Sea is almost omnipotent.”

Perhaps some people may dare offend the Three Sects and the Nine Factions, but there is absolutely nobody who wants to offend people from the Netherworld Sea. Because it is omnipotent, even dead people could be saved. Also, it is possible to kill an incomparably powerful person and leave no traces.

Five years ago, Yanyan was involved in a huge incident. Her cultivation had been regressing ever since. In two to three years, she would have no more Xuan energy and would be as weak as an ordinary person.

If there is any force in the world that could heal Yanyan’s destroyed Xuan veins, it would be the Netherworld Sea.

Therefore, although there might be someone who dared offend the Three Sects and the Nine Factions, no one would want to mess with the Netherworld Sea.

Since the Netherworld Sea was so powerful, there must be many people begging for their help to save someone’s life.

The problem was that no one in the world knew where the Netherworld Sea was.

Furthermore, the Netherworld Sea was absolutely ruthless and wouldn’t save just anyone. Unless you offered them precious treasures, they wouldn’t give you any help.

Thus, Song Yu from the Netherworld Sea appearing in Cloud Sky City was something really difficult to fathom.

Yang Dingtian was silent for a moment. “If the Netherworld can heal Yanyan’s Xuan veins, that’s definitely the best thing. Thus, it’s actually good news for Yanyan to be able to follow Song Yu to the Netherworld Sea.”

“Little Tian, there is one sentence that is very famous. It states that you can never clear a debt to the Netherworld Sea even if you spent ten lifetimes. I don’t know why Song Yu took the initiative to come to Cloud Sky City to see Yanyan. But, what I do know is that if the Netherworld Sea wants to heal Yanyan, we have to pay a huge price for them to do so.”

Yang Dingtian thought for a while. “If Yanyan can be healed, then it is worth paying the huge price.”

Ningning shook her head. “You don’t understand. The price they would request will be unacceptable to almost anyone, Moreover, I’m a Pill Refiner. I’m very clear about the state of Yanyan’s Xuan veins. There’s absolutely no hope for her to recover her previous cultivation. In short, I don’t trust their ability to heal her.”

“Is that Song Yu still in Cloud Sky City? Where is he staying?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“He’s staying at the VIP Pavilion,” Ningning answered.

“Sister Ningning, can you provide me one set of clothes? I need to see him right now. I need to know if he can really heal Yanyan. If he can, I need to know the price,” Yang Dingtian said.

Then, Yang Dingtian stood up and found that his crotch was still erect. He immediately got annoyed. “How can this be?”

“It’s because of the medicine.” Ningning’s face turned red. “I’ll fetch you your clothes.”

Then, she walked to the cabinet and procured a set of clothes for Yang Dingtian. It was obvious that the clothes had been sewn by Ningning herself.

“Sister Ningning ...” Suddenly, a soft voice came in from the outside.

Yang Dingtian and Ximen Ningning were both a little shocked because it was Ximen Yanyan’s voice.

Ximen Ningning’s delicate face immediately turned pale. She whispered to Yang Dingtian, “Little Tian, quickly go hide. Don’t let Yanyan know that you are here, especially looking like this ...”

Yang Dingtian looked down. He was almost naked. Furthermore, his crotch was still high-spirited.

If his appearance were seen by others, it would be difficult for them to not misunderstand. If he was really discovered, there would be nothing he could do to clear his name.

Out there, Ximen Yanyan’s footsteps got closer and closer. Ximen Ningning was anxiously looking for somewhere to stow Yang Dingtian away. However, her room was so simple. There was no place to hide.

“Oh, right here.” Ningning opened a cabinet door and got Yang Dingtian to hide inside.

Ximen Yanyan entered the room before Ningning was able to close the cabinet door.

“Sister, what are you doing? I’ve been yelling for you but you didn’t respond.” Yanyan looked curiously at Ximen Ningning.
