"Since you're here, why don't we rent a small boat and take you boating on the lake to enjoy a moment of peace and tranquility?"
Thinking of this, Li Wanghao couldn't help but smile slightly and quickened his pace to go upstairs.
This trip is not merely about collecting so-called "power of destiny."
More importantly, we hope to enhance our emotional connection with each other.
In the past, his relationships with Luo Yuheng and Mu Nanzhi were more like a "get on the bus first, buy the ticket later" arrangement.
But it's clearly not enough now; we still need to invest time and effort to cultivate them properly!
Chapter 138 The Gongsun Family Arrives!
Yangbai Lake, its shimmering surface reflecting the cool sunlight in late autumn.
The lakeside was planted with lush willow trees, but it was late autumn and early winter, and the branches were bare, no longer bearing the tender green leaves of spring.
A lake breeze blew by, bringing a chill that made people involuntarily hunch their shoulders.
A medium-sized ship drifted quietly in the clear lake water, its hull swaying gently with the current.
The cabin was warm and cozy, a stark contrast to the cold wind outside.
Wei Changxuan, draped in a thick fox fur cloak, sat comfortably at a delicate little table by the window.
On the table sat a rustic little mud stove, inside which a pot of fragrant yellow wine was being gently warmed over a low flame.
It can warm your heart and dispel the cold from your body.
In the center of the table were several dishes of various side dishes, surrounded by a pile of freshly caught, plump river crabs, and a small bowl of fragrant and sour aged vinegar.
This combination is truly mouthwatering, making you want to take a bite right away.
"This vinegar tastes really good, but it would be even more perfect with a little more dipping sauce."
Wei Changxuan took a small bite of the plump and chewy crab roe and nodded in satisfaction.
"Fortunately, this way we can better appreciate the natural freshness of the river crab."
Having said that, he slightly raised his finger, and an invisible spiritual force acted upon the food in front of him.
The carefully selected crab shells and meat separated instantly and were neatly arranged on the plate.
This was an extremely rare and special way of demonstrating ability, and everyone present was full of praise for it.
Afterwards, Wei Changxuan turned his attention to the charming scenery outside the window, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
Just then, Mu Nanzhi, who was sitting next to him, stretched out her slender, fair hands.
Carefully from the table laden with delicious food.
I selected a river crab that had already been prepared.
"Although these crabs tasted delicious, I think they could be a little saltier."
That might taste better.
She offered her insights in a soft, gentle voice, a sweet smile playing on her lips.
Seeing this, Wei Changxuan shook his head and sighed dramatically:
"Sigh, you're still being picky with such a sumptuous lunch! You're really picky!" But her tone was full of affection.
In response, Mu Nanzhi gave a haughty snort.
He picked up a piece of crab roe and waved it at the other person to show off.
"I don't care about all that. I just speak my mind, is there a problem with that?"
Seeing this, Luo Yuheng, who was sitting not far away, couldn't help but chuckle.
She secretly marveled at how successful the trip seemed, because even her usually aloof best friend was doing well.
Even now, she is behaving so lively and adorable.
"Fine, fine, say what you want. You're just naturally good with words!"
As Wei Changxuan spoke, he poured himself another cup of hot yellow wine.
"Me too!" Upon seeing this, Mu Nanzhi quickly handed over the cup, her eyes revealing a hint of anticipation.
"Okay, but don't drink too much."
If you get drunk and pass out, don't blame me for not warning you to be careful not to turn into a big pervert!
Wei Changxuan said half-jokingly, then gently poured Mu Nanzhi a full glass of wine.
At this moment, Mu Nanzhi took a small sip and immediately felt a faint blush rise to her cheeks.
My whole body felt unusually warm and comfortable.
Without realizing it, her gaze drifted into the distance.
"Look over there, it looks like an even bigger warship is approaching!"
She suddenly spoke, her voice filled with surprise and curiosity.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan and the women all turned around.
Looking in the direction Mu Nanzhi pointed—and sure enough,
On the lake not far away, a boat larger than the one they were currently in appeared.
A significantly more magnificent double-decker luxury ship,
A flag embroidered with the character "Gongsun" was hung high above the deck.
As the ship cut through the waves, it rustled in the breeze.
Chapter 139 Gongsun Xiu!
The gentle sunlight, like delicate golden threads, intertwined to form a curtain of light.
It gently covered the vast and boundless lake surface.
As a gentle breeze swept by, ripples spread across the lake, like silver scales dancing in the night.
Slowly gliding across the tranquil water was a magnificently decorated and imposing multi-storied warship.
It was adorned with a flag that symbolized the glory and power of the Gongsun family.
Upon entering the specially designated banquet area on the second deck, one is greeted by a large round table made of mahogany.
The table was neatly arranged with various delicacies—steamed fish, roast goose, roast duck…the aroma was irresistible.
Mouthwatering;
Beside it were several jars of brightly colored fine wine, whose rich and mellow aroma was truly delightful.
At this very moment, a group of martial arts masters with extraordinary skills have gathered here, some conversing in hushed tones, others raising their glasses in toasts with boundless enthusiasm, their laughter and chatter mingling together.
Not far away, another ship, somewhat understated yet undeniably imposing, was moored.
Wei Changxuan stood at the bow of the ship, quietly watching the Gongsun clan's warship approaching from the front.
He was tall and slender, with a straight back as steadfast and unyielding as a pine tree standing proudly in the snow.
A cold, sharp light gleamed in those bright, deep eyes.
Even from a distance of hundreds of meters, one can clearly capture every detail of the changes happening on the opposite ship.
Under the powerful aura emanating from him, no obstacle could block his gaze.
This has made places that were originally far apart...
It felt as if the distance had been instantly shortened many times over, so close that we were practically touching.
Then, the young man gently closed his eyes, and his whole being entered a mysterious and unfathomable state:
A powerful mental force began to expand rapidly outwards, silently extending like invisible tentacles.
Ultimately, they reached the scene inside the target vessel. Through this method,
Wei Changxuan successfully "saw" the scene unfolding on the other ship...
Inside the luxurious and magnificent painted boat of the Gongsun family sat a woman with a beautiful face and a touch of heroism.
She was wearing a simple yet exquisitely tailored moon-white long dress with a front opening.
Asking for flowers
The lower body is paired with a light, flowing, wide-legged skirt, which perfectly showcases her noble and elegant status.
Her long, smooth, black hair was carefully styled into a classic cloud-like bun.
At this moment, the woman named Gongsun Xiu was holding a delicate little wine cup.
A sweet and gentle smile graced her lips as she greeted those in front of her.
Several exceptionally skilled fighters recently joined his ranks.
However, those who truly understand her know that beneath this gentle exterior lies a formidable and powerful ability.
—It is said that he only reached the Transformation Realm, one of the five ranks of masters, last year.
And he became the most powerful being after the clan leader.
The six people that Gongsun Xiu entertained were all formidable in terms of cultivation.
Two of them were at the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm, equivalent to the peak of the seventh rank of martial artist, and only a step away from the sixth rank of copper skin and iron bones.
Such strength, within the entire Yongzhou region, and especially within the Gongsun family,
He was a master, worthy of being treated as an honored guest by the Gongsun family for a long time.
Chapter 140 Gongsun Xiu's Awareness!
Looking at the bustling crowd in the distant boatyard, Wei Changxuan couldn't help but smile slightly and chuckle.
These people were dressed in all sorts of ways, and each of them had a different expression in their eyes.
But in his eyes, these emotions were nothing more than the expressions of ants.
Most of them probably wouldn't even have the chance to enter that mysterious underground palace, let alone obtain the legendary treasure.
Those precious items will only fall into the hands of those with greater power, and most of these people will probably end up as nourishment for mummies.
Tonight, Wei Changxuan also plans to go to the underground palace.
