Chapter 61 On the Flying Boat
The wind blew from afar across the plains, pushing the withered yellow grass waves back and forth, the rustling sound sounding particularly lazy in the afternoon sun.
The hundred-foot-long flying boat hovered silently, its pale golden hull gleaming warmly in the sun, the patterns on its surface flickering like breathing.
Lu Yang turned his head to look at Xiao Changli, who was still somewhat dazed, and smiled slightly: "It wasn't convenient to take out the flying boat while we were in the Golden Sun Mountains. Elder Xiao, Uncle Mu, if you two are going the same way, why don't you hitch a ride with me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changli finally snapped out of his shock at the sight of the hundred-foot flying boat.
He gave Lu Yang a deep look, a subtle change appearing in his eyes.
He lived for over four hundred years, and although he spent most of his time in seclusion, he still met quite a few people and experienced quite a lot.
By connecting the dots, he quickly understood the key points.
It's likely that this Junior Brother Lu knew beforehand that the younger generation of the Li family would be waiting for him outside.
The reason he didn't take out the flying boat was probably to deliberately give the younger member of the Li family an opportunity to make a move, so that he could eliminate that younger member of the Li family in a legitimate way.
This little guy looks gentle and refined, ethereal and otherworldly, but I never expected him to be so ruthless...
However, Xiao Changli not only did not dislike it, but also appreciated it more.
After all, within the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, the sect provides protection and has strict rules. Although there is competition among fellow disciples, there is a certain degree of restraint among them.
However, the outside world is different. Without the protection of the sect, if the sect disciples are too naive and innocent, they may not even know how they died.
Lu Yang's approach of eliminating hidden dangers without making a sound was ruthless, but it was indeed efficient and effective.
The path to immortality is long and arduous; first and foremost, one must survive.
He composed himself and turned to look at Mu Yunxue beside him.
The girl in the white dress stood against the wind, her face as cold and aloof as the moon, her eyes, calm and still, revealing no emotion.
"Junior Nephew Mu, what do you think?" Xiao Changli asked in a low voice.
He was Mu Yunxue's protector, so naturally he had to listen to her in this matter.
Lu Yang also looked at the girl in the white dress.
Mu Yunxue's mind had returned to its usual calm.
Those clear, cool eyes looked at Lu Yang, devoid of any extra emotion, and calmly asked, "My home is in Yun Kingdom. Is it on my way?"
Lu Yang mentally flipped through the map of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect's territory.
The Golden Rainbow Sword Sect is located in the Golden Sun Mountain Range, which is in the center. The Yue Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom are located to the southeast, while the Yun Kingdom is located to the west.
To be honest, it's quite far.
Lu Yang smiled with some regret: "We're going to Yue and Yuan, which isn't exactly on the way."
Xiao Changli sighed inwardly, feeling a pang of regret.
To be honest, he really wanted to go inside the airship.
A hundred-foot flying boat... In the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, there is only one.
That was a treasured possession that the sect would only bring out to save face when something big happened in Qinzhou.
Mu Yunxue nodded slightly, her expression calm: "Since it's not on the way, then forget it."
"Then I'd like to wish Uncle Mu and Elder Xiao a happy and healthy New Year in advance." Lu Yang smiled and cupped his hands in greeting.
Mu Yunxue nodded gently: "Happy New Year."
Xiao Changli suppressed his regret and put on a kind smile: "Happy New Year, Junior Nephew Lu. See you at the sect after the New Year."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mu Yunxue and Xiao Changli decided not to linger and took off on their swords.
Two sword lights leaped into the sky one after the other, piercing through the clouds and disappearing into the depths of the azure sky in the blink of an eye, leaving only two white trails that were slowly fading away.
Lu Yang withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the two people beside him.
Lin Ying was looking up at him, the afternoon light falling on her fair cheeks, giving them a very faint blush.
In those usually gentle and tender eyes, there was now admiration, attachment, and a hint of lingering nervousness.
The wind ruffled the stray hairs at her temples, and a few strands clung to her slightly flushed cheeks, but she forgot to brush them away.
Wang Siyuan's face turned bright red, his eyes were shining so brightly they almost sparkled, and his lips moved several times but he couldn't utter a single word.
He looked like he had just taken some kind of magic pill, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Looking at the two of them, Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, let's get on the flying boat, we'll head back now."
Wang Da immediately channeled his spiritual energy, and a gentle yet powerful force lifted the three of them, along with the three still somewhat restless black-scaled horses, and steadily lifted them into the air, landing them on the deck of the flying boat.
The moment his feet touched the deck, Lu Yang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
This was also the first time he had ever actually stood on this airship.
Previously, the flying boat had been kept in the system inventory, and could only be viewed through that light blue light screen.
Now that he has stepped onto it in person, he truly feels the awe-inspiring presence of this hundred-foot-tall ship.
The deck was wide enough for a horse to run on, and the pale gold Spirit Wood floor shimmered with a warm glow in the sunlight, every grain of which looked as if it had been drawn with gold thread.
The seven-story pavilion in the center of the deck is towering and majestic, with upturned eaves and a row of small copper bells hanging under the eaves. When the wind blows from above, they ring incessantly, as crisp as a mountain spring knocking on stones.
There is also a slightly shorter building on each side of the pavilion, arranged in a staggered and orderly manner.
The entire airship hovered silently among the clouds, surrounded by a vast sea of white clouds, with the peaks of several distant mountains appearing and disappearing in the clouds.
Lu Yang flipped his hand and took out the flying boat array plate, handing it to Wang San beside him: "Wang San, you control the array plate and go to Yuan Kingdom first."
Wang San took the array plate expressionlessly, responded, and then lightly tapped it a few times with his fingertips.
A stream of light rose from the array plate, and fine patterns of light intertwined and took shape in the air. The previously hovering flying boat trembled slightly, then transformed into a pale golden streak, silently cleaving through the sea of clouds and soaring into the southeast.
Lu Yang leaned on the railing and looked down.
The plains below were stretched into blurry lines by the speed of the flying boat, with the withered yellow grass appearing as thin, indistinct lines. Occasionally, one or two small hills would flash past the edge of the field of vision, too fast to make out their outlines.
But standing on the deck, you can't feel the slightest jolt; it's as smooth as standing on the ground.
This is the ultimate flying boat magic weapon.
The ship's hull is covered with layers of arrays, including defensive and offensive arrays, as well as various arrays to enhance comfort, taking into account factors such as temperature, humidity, and stability.
Wang Siyuan, standing to the side, was trembling with excitement.
He wished he could return to Sanlidunfang City of the Yuan Dynasty right now.
Being able to return to the market in such a flying boat is a triumphant homecoming for him!
Even the major families in the market would probably have to show him some respect!
Will his parents and younger sister be proud of him then?
It definitely will, right?
Lu Yang noticed Wang Siyuan's excitement and smiled knowingly to himself.
Isn't he the same?
Returning home in glory!
This is the dream of so many people.
He was also looking forward to the moment when the flying boat would appear over the Lu family of Yue.
"Junior Brother Wang," he said, "there's a spirit beast pen on the second basement level of the palace. Take these three black-scaled horses there and settle them in. After that, feel free to wander around. There are guest rooms on the second and third floors; if you get tired, just find a place to rest. Don't go up to the fourth floor or above."
Wang Siyuan turned his head abruptly, his eyes wide with disbelief, and stammered, "Senior Brother Lu, I... I can really shop around?"
Lu Yang nodded: "Go ahead."
Wang Siyuan took a deep breath and quickly bowed, "Alright, thank you, Senior Brother Lu! If you need anything, please call me anytime!"
He took the reins of three black-scaled horses and ran lightly and quickly towards the palace, his back view filled with the excitement of a young boy.
The deck fell silent.
The wind was kept out by the flying boat's barrier, and the sunlight shone quietly, leaving only Lu Yang, Lin Ying, and two silent puppets like stone statues.
Lu Yang turned around to face Lin Ying beside him.
She stood quietly to the side the whole time, her gaze never leaving his face from the moment she left.
Sunlight fell into her gentle eyes, shattering a pool of spring water.
Lu Yang reached out and gently touched her cheek with the back of his fingers.
Her skin was slightly warm, as delicate as a freshly peeled egg, and once you touched it, you couldn't bear to remove it.
"What happened with Li Yao just now must have been a bit of a shock, right?" he asked gently in a soft voice.
Lin Ying was slightly taken aback, then gently shook her head.
She didn't dodge his hand; instead, she rubbed her face against his palm, a gentle and dependent gesture, like a kitten that had finally found its nest.
Her voice was filled with unwavering trust: "No. You told me to relax, so I knew nothing would happen."
Lu Yang felt his heart burning with desire at Lin Ying's infatuated gaze.
He wished he could take Lin Ying back to her palace room right now and bully her properly.
Having tasted forbidden fruit for the first time, and with such a strong physique and abundant energy, he was full of vitality.
Lin Ying noticed Lu Yang's intense gaze, and her cheeks flushed instantly.
She took Lu Yang's hand, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry: "Junior Brother Lu, can you take me for a walk? I've never ridden such a big flying boat before."
Lu Yang took a deep breath, suppressed the fire in his heart, and nodded with a smile: "Okay."
The two held hands and started from the bottom deck, walking up floor by floor.
The soil in the Lingtian Nursery is soft and fertile, but unfortunately, no spiritual herbs or medicines have been planted there yet.
The spirit beast pen was empty and clean, with thick, soft hay spread out in the corner, where Wang Siyuan was settling three black-scaled horses.
Seeing Lu Yang and Lin Ying approaching, he wisely refrained from disturbing them.
The alchemy room and the weapon-refining room are located in two separate side buildings.
The arena was covered with dark blue diamond slabs, and stepping on them, one could feel the slight coolness emanating from the array beneath one's feet.
Lin Ying was a little reserved at first, and unconsciously tightened her grip on Lu Yang's fingers.
However, under Lu Yang's gentle introduction, she gradually relaxed from her initial nervousness, and would occasionally let out a gasp of surprise.
When she pushed open the door to the alchemy room and saw the alchemy fire array, which was much larger than her alchemy room in the sect, and the neatly arranged shelves of spiritual herbs, she even screamed with excitement.
Seeing Lin Ying's cheerful and lively demeanor, which resembled that of a young girl, Lu Yang smiled.
He could tell that Lin Ying was somewhat frightened outside the airship earlier.
Perhaps it was the combination of the two Golden Core puppets and the hundred-foot flying boat that was far beyond her comprehension, making her feel that an invisible chasm had suddenly appeared between her and him.
He certainly didn't want that.
He cherished this gentle and kind senior sister from the bottom of his heart.
So he accompanied her as they strolled around, explaining each item to her one by one, until the unease in her eyes completely melted away.
Eventually, the two of them wandered to the master bedroom on the top floor.
The room was luxuriously furnished, with a large spirit wood bed in the center that was several feet long and wide, covered with a pure white brocade quilt. It could easily accommodate more than a dozen people, let alone two.
Pale gold gauze curtains hung by the window, and the afternoon light filtered through them, turning into a soft, warm hue that enveloped the entire room in a hazy, enchanting glow.
The door closed gently behind me.
Lu Yang reached out and put his arm around Lin Ying's waist, pulling her into his embrace.
She trembled slightly, tilted her head back, and the blush on her pretty face spread from her cheeks to her ears. Her eyes were shimmering with tenderness.
Their eyes met, and the air grew hot.
They kissed each other almost simultaneously, their breathing becoming disordered and rapid in an instant.
Gradually, Lu Yang's lips slid from the corner of her mouth to her chin, and then from her chin down her snow-white neck, his voice low and husky: "Senior Sister, it will take about twenty hours to reach Yuan Kingdom..."
Lin Ying trembled, bit her lower lip, and nodded gently with a flushed face: "Um...but...you have to be gentle, I haven't fully recovered yet..."
"it is good."
In the warm light, two shadows fell on the wall and slowly merged into one.
