On the deck.
"Wow! Is this Divine Ability?"
"Master, Master, teach us!"
Looking at the table filled with food, both in terms of variety and exquisite presentation, even the utensils were meticulously chosen, it left one dumbfounded and their heart racing with excitement.
In fact, Ye Kai was not much older than Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, perhaps just a decade at most. Yet for some reason, he felt a strong affinity towards these two clever youngsters.
So much so that he forgot the rule he had set for himself: whenever he entered a new world, he must collect the genes of the protagonists.
However, as he amusingly watched the two of them gazing at the Crystal Platter with sparkling eyes, thinking they were simply fascinated by the crystal utensils, he was soon taken aback by their exclamations.
It turned out they were not only admiring the Crystal Platter, but were also intrigued by the means that could produce such an array of food.
"Ouch!"
Seeing the two of them clutching their heads with silly expressions, Ye Kai said irritably, "You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you want to run? You’re asking for trouble!"
The others nearby dared not be so reckless; they merely smiled at the three of them as they played around.
Moreover, they were quite shocked; even their demeanor became somewhat cautious. After all, witnessing such a celestial technique that could conjure countless delicacies with a mere flip of a hand truly astonished them.
Just then, a deep voice came from the right bank: "I do not know which esteemed person from the Song faction is presiding over this fleet. Please dock and allow Yuwen Huaji to board and pay respects."
Inside the cabin, Fu Junruo suddenly stood up, her face filled with concern as she glanced at Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. She never expected Yuwen Huaji would catch up so quickly; what should they do now?
Song Lu observed that the senior from the Star God Sect did not offer any hints, so he stood up with a smile and said, "Is it Lord Yuwen from the Yuwen Clan? Song Lu pays his respects. It has been quite some time; I hope you have been well."
Yuwen Huaji, riding along the shore in pursuit of the ship, replied with a laugh, "Ah, so it's Brother Song, who wields a silver beard and a Silver Dragon staff. That makes things easier. Please have your fleet dock first so I can explain the details."
"Yuwen Huaji?"
Ye Kai feigned great interest and asked, "Is this Yuwen fellow really that impressive? You all seem a bit wary of him."
Song Lu's expression faltered, unsure whether to respond or remain silent.
However, Song Shidao was completely absorbed in watching Fu Junruo, his deep affection evident enough for even a blind person to sense.
In contrast, Liu Qing and Kou Xu quickly reacted; one was quite enchanting and maintained a close demeanor with Song Lu, her expressions and posture undeniably alluring, giving off a somewhat unorthodox vibe.
The other two were sharp-witted, and all three excitedly turned their attention to Ye Kai.
"Eh?"
When Ye Kai saw Yuwen Huaji actually leap over thirty meters in distance, he became genuinely intrigued. Just as Yuwen Huaji was about to pounce from mid-air, Ye Kai suddenly unleashed his Psychokinesis, wrapping him up and pulling him forcefully closer.
"Ah..."
Seeing Yuwen Huaji's face turn crimson with shock and anger left everyone stunned. But soon after, they heard Ye Kai softly say, "You have decent skills, but unfortunately, you're on the wrong path."
Upon hearing this, Fu Junruo felt an inexplicable sense of relief. The others couldn't help but chuckle; with such a formidable senior around them, what was there to fear?
"Who are you..."
Just as Yuwen Huaji's face darkened and he was about to speak up, Galastad's character—a master of swordsmanship—glanced at him lightly, causing him to swallow his words immediately.
“Garrast Ammer, look,” Ye Kai said with a calm smile.
“Yes, young master.”
Galastad bowed and said in a deep voice, “This person is surrounded by an aura of cold ice. It seems he practices an ice-type technique, but he has indeed strayed from the path. His life will end here.”
Upon hearing such disrespectful words, Yuwen Huaji immediately retorted with anger masked as laughter, “Your tone is rather presumptuous, isn’t it?”
To them, his family’s secret ice technique was reduced to merely being told he had ‘strayed from the path’? This was truly intolerable!
“What does it matter how presumptuous? You can’t even withstand three moves from Alice; it’s boring,” Galastad replied dismissively, ignoring Yuwen Huaji entirely.
Seeing the expressionless figure who had only glanced at him once since the beginning, Yuwen Huaji was infuriated. A ball of ice energy appeared in his palm, and he struck out fiercely.
“Hey, you’re really annoying!”
Galastad didn’t move at all. In fact, when the crowd gasped in shock, he even closed his eyes as if he couldn’t be bothered. Instead, Alice beside Ye Kai rolled her eyes and impatiently struck out with her hand.
“Boom!”
With the sound of an explosive impact, Yuwen Huaji, who had been standing on the deck, let out a scream as he was blasted away and fell straight into the water, creating a huge splash.
“This person is so annoying! Doesn’t he understand any manners? Coming to bother us while we’re eating,” Alice grumbled with a displeased expression.
It should be noted that right now, Alice was far superior to Ye Kai in terms of Psychokinesis. After all, she had been given an extraordinary boost that made her powers seem almost godlike. One person was nothing; even this ship would shatter under her wrath!
He knew this, but the key was that others did not.
They could only look at Alice's obviously impatient and disgusted expression, feeling both amused and shocked, unsure whether to speak up for fear of crossing a line.
But Yuwen Huaji was supposed to be a powerful master of the first realm, right?
Damn it, how could such a master be casually slapped away by a girl?
Who would believe that?
The crowd was speechless.
"Fortunately, fortunately, she didn't go all out; otherwise, that guy would have exploded into a shower of blood."
"Exactly. Last time, she tore apart a Tyrannosaurus Rex. I was honestly a bit scared just watching."
Ye Yi and Ye Er spoke the truth; if Alice went full throttle now, they would genuinely feel intimidated.
"You two idiots, shut up! When have I ever been that violent?"
Alice glanced at the smirking Ye Kai with a hint of guilt before mumbling, "Well, it's not my fault. That stupid dinosaur stole my grilled fish, so of course I had to hit it."
Stupid dinosaur?
Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Stole grilled fish?
Tore it apart?
!!!
"Is there anything more shocking?"
"Alright, alright, let's eat and chat."
Ye Kai lightly tapped Alice on the forehead before smiling and saying, "To be honest, I'm quite interested in your world. Can anyone tell me what interesting things or people there are these days?"
Song Lu and Song Shidao had somewhat figured out Ye Kai's temperament, who was suspected to be a Celestial Exile, and immediately poured him another glass of fine wine with great enthusiasm.
Although his statement of 'I'm quite interested in your world' made their hearts race once again, after so many shocks, they managed to maintain their composure this time.
Meanwhile, two burly men standing nearby stepped forward to refill everyone's glasses.
"Senior, you may not be aware, but something significant has happened in the martial world..."
Song Lu suddenly remembered something and quickly corrected himself, "Please forgive my impudence; may I ask if you have heard about the legend of He Shi Bi?"
He was indeed a cunning old fox; he had cleverly turned the conversation to test Ye Kai. After all, it was said in the martial world that He Shi Bi was a miraculous stone carved from the celestial realm. Perhaps this suspected Celestial Exile, the leader of the Star God Sect, would have heard of it!
