XIAO SHUXIANG'S

377 - Port of the Northern Continent

The ports in the White Snow Empire that existed in the Northern Continent were so crowded. This is indeed the busiest time for residents, especially those who have a profession as traders.

In addition to large ships carrying goods, in this port there are also fishing boats that have different sizes. The noise in this port never seems to decrease.

"おじさん..！おじさんがやっと来ました!"

["Touching.. ! Ojisan ga yatto kimashita!"]

["Uncle..! My uncle has finally arrived!"]

A girl in faded green clothes exclaimed, she was excited to see a medium-sized ship starting to dock. He waved at the ship, and the people beside him did the same.

"ただいま。。!"

["Accept.!"]

["I'm back.!"]

Many sayings were called by the fishermen on the ship, but the word sort of, 'I'm back..!' and 'We're home..!' which can be heard clearly.

Every time there are fishing boats anchored, surely the noise in this port is increasing. The view is always there in the daily life of this place.

The 19-year-old girl, whose hair was wrapped in cloth, started boarding the boat and helped bring down the wooden crates containing sea animals caught by the fishermen.

"おじさん、一番大きな魚が欲しい..!"

["Ojisan, ichiban okina sakana ga hoshi. !"]

["Uncle, I want the biggest fish.!"]

"おじさん、 私 も!"

["Braff, watashi mo!"]

["Uncle, me too!"]

Despite being mobbed, in fact the fishermen do not mind. They look happy when many children of different ages are scrambling for fresh fish.

Busyness occurred on board, even they did not realize there was a dot of water that appeared, compacted and then formed a mirror as tall as an adult.

Tap

A young purple-clothed woman came out from behind the mirror. His clothes and hair were wet, he was holding a sword that had not been sheathed.

There was some shaking in his clothes, but it did not make him look pathetic. The woman looked like a warrior who had just finished fighting.

Tap

Tap

This woman was none other than Xiao WeiWei, the mother of Xiao Shuxiang. He walked calmly and then was followed by another cultivator who also came out from inside the mirror.

At first no one is aware of their presence, but as people step out of the mirror more and more - some children and fishermen start to wake up.

!!

The fishermen of various ages, as well as the young girl who had looked surprised. They were involuntarily stunned with an eye gaze pointing at the people coming out from within the mirror, an unknown object appearing out of nowhere.

"彼らは誰なの..？"

["Darea wa darena no. ?"]

["Who are they.?"]

Clearly the fishermen including the young girl dressed in faded green were wondering. How could there be so many people waiting in line out of a mirror, and it was really a mirror!

"これ わ うそだろ？"

["Kore wa usodaro?"]

["It's a lie, right?"]

One of the children rubbed his eyes, he even deliberately pinched and slapped his cheek slowly to make him realize that what he saw was not a dream.

"ああ！それは痛い!"

["A! Afternoon wa itai!"]

["Ah! It's sick!"]

Many children also pinch their cheeks, but what they see does not disappear at all. The children kept watching how people started coming out of the mirror.

"Mother..."

"Calm down, kid. We've survived..."

"We actually reached the Northern Continent... I remember this harbor,"

Many of the ship's passengers had previously almost drowned because of the Demonic Beast in the form of an octopus. Thank goodness they all survived.

"Ohok! Huh... Huh... I thought I was dead,"

"Hold a minute, I'll take you to the doctor..."

There was also a swordsman who was in a state of heavy injuries, he had to be swept up by his colleague while walking. At first he thought he would die swallowed by a large octopus, but it was fortunate that the sky still let him live.

Yang Hao, Yang Shu and Yang Fu also came out from the mirror, behind them were several crew members and also the Moon Tiger that had been sized like a kitten.

Nyawn~

Lan Guan Zhi himself walked behind the Moon Tiger, followed by Xiao Qing Yan and a few passengers who were just ordinary humans.

The ones who came out the very back were the Mad Beggar Boy and Xiao Shuxiang. The two young men seemed to be shouldering the limbs of the Demonic Beast that they had defeated.

"I'll burn it, I'll make you some grilled eel soup..." Xiao Shuxiang was already impatient, he shouldered the right side of the body of the electric eel that was deliberately cut to size according to his height.

"You can make good food with this octopus leg? You have to do it! It's so delicious, I can even feel my saliva dripping..."

Crazy Beggar Boy did not want to lose, he carried an octopus tentacle that was also at his height. The tentacles are still moving, but no longer dangerous.

"of course. I can even process it now..." Xiao Shuxiang smiled widely, he saw the octopus tentacles that the Crazy Beggar Boy was carrying seemed to be writhing.

"... He's so energetic, do you need any help?"

"No need, I'm still capable. For food...! For food...!"

Xiao Qing Yan heard the excited cry of the Mad Beggar Boy, he turned his head and stared for a moment at the black-clothed youth mixed in red. He also stared at Xiao Shuxiang, the Alchemist Chef whose clothes were all black.

"Heah... They look like twins. One is crazy and the other is insane. Somehow the heavens could bring together those two shameless people..." Xiao Qing Yan exhaled softly and then followed the crew who started to disembark from the ship.

Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy seemed to have their own world, they discussed something trivial and insignificant, yet still took it seriously.

The two argue about the way octopuses breed. Xiao Shuxiang said the animal did so by splitting, while the Crazy Beggar Boy said Octopuses breed by laying eggs. They have their own alibis.

Crazy Beggar Boy, "You can see chickens and birds, they are born from eggs. Just like humans and other animals, they are all born from eggs. So this Demonic Beast is the same, too,"

Xiao Shuxiang snorted in disbelief, "Where is a human laying eggs, it is absolutely impossible..!"

"Did? But you have eggs,"

!

"A...!"

BLAAAR...!!

!!

The thunderous sound that seemed to split the sky shocked everyone including Xiao Shuxiang himself. The atmosphere in the harbor that was originally full of boisterous sounds, was now suddenly silent. They all looked up and looked up at the sky.

There are no dark clouds, even the sky looks bright with the sun shining beautifully. Where did that deafening sound come from? It was obvious that they had not misheard, the ground they were on even as it shook.

"Child sucks! I told you not to mention my name, did you forget?! You can kill me if you do...!" The Mad Beggar Boy could only scold Xiao Shuxiang, he could not hit much less kick this young man's butt even if he wanted to.

"... If only I had not brought this delicious matter, I would have sent you into your Grandfather's stomach. You're totally outrageous...!"

Xiao Shuxiang, "It is precisely me who should say that, you said very shamelessly...!"

This Alchemist Chef was not a newborn youth yesterday, he clearly knew which direction the Mad Beggar Boy had said just now. That was why Xiao Shuxiang was annoyed that his thoughts that he considered pure saint had been stained for some time.

Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy started to pounce on each other, both ignoring the attention of the fishermen and other merchants.

The second thing was of course the thing that the two handsome young men were carrying. They were sure one of the objects was an octopus tentacle, and had a really large size.

Yang Fu and Yang Shu were completely indifferent to the views of the people. The look on their faces was hard to interpret, both of them were happy to the point of almost crying.

"Sister..."

"Mm, right Fu'Er... We're finally home..."

Yang Shu tried to hold back her tears. For a long time he had not set foot in his homeland. The place where he had life as a prince was at once the reason for his departure.

"Fu 'Er... I'm sorry..." Yang Shu suddenly made a soft voice, but his sister was still able to hear him clearly.

"Sister..."

"I've been troubling you for so long. Because you followed me away... You become separated from the mother who gave birth to you and must pass the danger with me. At present... Maybe a lot of people are gone..."

Yang Shu knew and was well aware, the Northern Continent had changed a lot, including its people. He could tell many people close to him were now gone, let alone those who had opposed him becoming 'Emperor'. If anyone had survived, they would have learned cultivation.

"Sister, you don't have to apologize at all. I never regret following you and leaving this place..." Yang Fu looked up at the sky before making a sound again.

"... You know, Brother. I'm the worst kid. Honestly-When I decided to follow you away, I didn't think about my father at all, let alone my mother. Time has passed and we have grown older, even by a day... I never thought about how worried they were... I'm bad, aren't I?"

"Then I am the same. I don't think my escape took years, but the reality is very different..." Yang Shu patted his sister's shoulder and returned to making a sound.

"... We're both the worst, Fu'Er... But still everything is different now. We're finally home and don't let regrets cloud this heart, my sister..."

"Sister..."

Yang Fu had always been amazed by her brother, both past and present. I don't know why, but he never did not admire this Brother of his. To him, Yang Shu was a person who was not bound by past memories, always looking forward, the figure of the owner of a solid heart.

"Sister, you're a figure I admire - as well as one who makes me jealous. You never seem to have regrets, very different from me..."

Yang Shu did not turn her head towards her sister, she just focused on walking beside Yang Fu while rubbing her mustache and beard. His eyes occasionally glanced at the merchant who was so eager to call the buyer.

"Compared to you, I'm the worst Fu'Er... One would be sad to leave his home and family, but what I feel is 'Freedom'. Life in the palace is assured, whatever I want is always there, including the love of a mother...

I was not familiar with my father, he was too busy taking care of things and I was too focused on playing outside the palace. Dad never forbade his kids from leaving, he didn't apply strict rules to us-but I was the one who felt constrained,"

Yang Shu smiled and then rubbed the back of her sister whose eyes looked sad. "Don't cry, Fu'Er. This is not a sad story. Your wibaw... Watch your wife..."

"I'm not crying, my eyes are just a little watery..." Yang Fu fixed his clothes and then rubbed his creepy thick mustache. He made his brother shake his head.

Yang Fu was like a ferocious person, but it turned out that he was an overly gentle hearted figure. Even his heart's firmness was still the same as his age got older. Yang Shu felt his sister was a very good person.

Actually, before Yang Shu left the Northern Continent long ago-he had thought about giving the throne to his younger brother, Yang Fu. He felt his brother was the best prince and never had any ambition to get the throne.

However, the decision he did not make was because what was needed in becoming 'Emperor' was not just kindness. Yang Fu was too lenient, his weakness was that he was extremely loving.

"I'm-!!"

"I don't care if the human was born from an egg or not, but what is clear is that Xiao Shuxiang will eat well today...!"

"Then admit your defeat...! You can't argue with me, though,"

Xiao Shuxiang, "Who would argue against a madman like you..."

Yang Shu and Yang Fu blinked as Xiao Shuxiang suddenly walked ahead of them, looking as the young man was licking each other with the Mad Beggar Boy.

Yang Fu remembered the fate of the captain and the crew on board. He then turned around and found Yang Hao with Xiao WeiWei talking to the captain of the ship.

"Fu'Er, I'll be there for a minute. You go and find the nearest inn, I'll catch up with you later,"

Yang Fu nodded, he then walked following Xiao Shuxiang and the Mad Beggar Boy. The two young men continued to talk about many things and sometimes mocked each other, Yang Fu could only exhale after seeing their behavior.

On the other hand, Yang Shu talked to the captain of the ship and then decided to replace the damaged ship and provide treatment to the injured crew and passengers, including the warriors.

His two disciples, Hai Feng and Zhi Shu were the most money holders in the Butterfly Sect. A ship that is the largest in size and made of quality wood they can buy easily. Yang Shu just had to give the order.

If you wanted to be asked about how Hai Feng and Zhi Shu had that kind of money-then the answer was in their business with the Peacock Stork Association and the Flower Dew Town Mayor. The sale of pills really sold well, let alone on Yang Shu's unknown wine business.

The old Bangka only knew that his disciple was in the pill business with the Association, but that was even enough to be boasted about. Two or three large ships with cabins over 50 they could even buy.

No need to ask, the money was obviously the result of Xiao Shuxiang's labor of concocting pills and wine. The Alchemist Chef did not even keep a dime of money from selling his pills, he already had such abundant treasures.

Even so, if Xiao Shuxiang heard the Grandfather buy someone else a new ship-it was likely that he would be very surprised. This Alchemist Chef was not a person who liked to donate his money just like that.

"Feng'Er, how many pills did you take?" Yang Shu was intending to give pills to injured cultivators and ordinary humans.

"Not many teachers, but the pills I brought... That's..." Hai Feng hesitantly replied, he then whispered to Yang Shu that he was carrying the Dragon Breath Pill. It was the most precious pill and his Brother Xiao must have been very forbidding.

Yang Shu understood, "Then let Xiao'Er treat them all later. Let's get them to find an inn,"

"Good Master...!" Hai Feng looked spirited, he was given a strange look by Zhi Shu.

"I'm not sure Brother Xiao will treat them for free.."

"I Don't Want to...!" xiao Shuxiang's exclamation made the Mad Beggar Boy choke on his teacher's tentacle soup. He slapped the young man's arm beside him.

Right now, the Mad Beggar Boy, Yang Shu, Lan Guan Zhi, the warriors as well as other ordinary humans were in the famous largest inn in the harbor. This inn is called 'The Moon's Turn'.

This huge place was able to accommodate all of them and the cost of staying here had been borne by Yang Shu using the money Hai Feng and Zhi Shu had brought.

"Xiao'Er, what's wrong with doing good. They need help and Grandpa doesn't doubt your Alchemist talent, you don't make your Beloved Grandpa keep asking for it, My Granddaughter..."

"I don't doubt my talent either, but giving help without pay isn't it a waste? My pill-making ingredients don't just come from the sky, Grandpa..." Xiao Shuxiang ate the eel he had already processed himself without being able to enjoy it well.

"Xiao'Er, don't you feel sorry for them?"

"You asked the wrong person..." Xiao Shuxiang would obviously not care about warriors or even ordinary mortals being injured. He couldn't possibly give a precious pill to them without reward.

Yang Shu let out a slow breath as his Beloved Grandson did not respond. He was then assisted by Yang Hao and Xiao WeiWei.

The Mad Beggar Boy also did so, he persuaded Xiao Shuxiang to help the warriors. After all, there was no harm, after all, Xiao Shuxiang's name would be increasingly known.

Nyawn~

Long enough to be persuaded, Xiao Shuxiang finally wanted to do it. The dazzling young man treated many people and his actions provoked the attention of other visitors.

The news of a young healer being able to concoct pills that not only cultivators could consume, but also warriors and ordinary humans spread quickly in this harbor. In a short period of time, the Semilir Moon Inn became increasingly crowded.

Lan Guan Zhi sat quietly as he watched his good friend inspect one by one the injured swordsman, he smiled faintly as he saw that there were warriors who did not take part in the voyage, but waiting in line to get Xiao Shuxiang's pills.

"Is it just my feeling or is the queue getting longer..." Xiao Shuxiang blinked and then refocusedly examined the middle-aged man in front of him.

This man was a swordsman, but in a fight he had to lose one part of his body.

"... I can't use my sword and my arm hurts sometimes. I have taken a lot of medicine. It was good at first, but the pain became even more when I was about to go to sleep. Can you give me a pill that can ease this pain...?"

Xiao Shuxiang felt strange, the customers were not only from the passengers of the ship. He wanted to nag, but it didn't.

He then took out a Dragon Breath Pill that had previously been changed slightly. The effect still remains the same, but the time for the results to be visible is about ten minutes.

As Xiao Shuxiang was busy in the Northern Continent, Yi Wen was also busy looking for trouble in the Black-Central Continent Minor Sect. The beautiful girl simply sat on the roof while watching how the sect disciples fought with the undead she raised.

The setting sun looked so red, Yi Wen was stunned to see it. He smiled and looked back at the students' fight.

!!

Yi Wen flinched and immediately jumped away when an attack pointed at him. Fortunately, he was able to escape in time.

The attack made the roof that Yi Wen had previously occupied collapse. A man dressed as red as blood and looking 48 was standing with a sword in his right hand.

["Finding trouble in my party.. I won't forgive you.!"] the man looked extremely angry, his voice was so thin and clearly contained hatred towards Yi Wen.

["I don't need it either. You don't need to forgive me because I'm more waiting for your request to stay let live,"] Yi Wen made a slightly hoarse voice and the next second she disappeared.

!!

The beautiful girl suddenly appeared to the right of the opponent with an unsheathed weapon. The clash of the swords both made anyone who saw it would feel uncomfortable.
