Chapter 154: The Immortal Kingdom (2)
PS: Translated by yymm51734
Although the sea was rough, there was no violent storm.
They even met two merchant fleets at sea, each of the large ships in the fleet far surpassing their small rickety ship.
Both of those merchant fleets were a little surprised that this small sea boat was out on its own.
After all, the legend of the Two Eight Godmen was now circulating on the sea, and wherever that Two Eight Godmen went, evil demons gathered and sea monsters ravaged the sea. Ordinary mortals simply did not dare to go out to sea at this time.
Most of the encounters at sea were far apart, and even when they met, neither side had any intention of coming closer, and eventually watched each other disappear between the sea and the sky from afar.
Lu Heng's boat was still alone on the sea.
Finally, in the noise of Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi, the boat docked and arrived at the first country they had visited since they left the sea.
The Immortal Kingdom, where everyone from the lord down to the commoners lives forever ……
"Hoo…… finally arrived at the Immortal Kingdom."
Standing on the deck, looking at the land that was still far away, Huo Feng revealed a smile, "Once we reach the Immortal Kingdom, Senior Caiyi won't have to suffer on this small rickety ship of ours."
As he said this, he looked back at Lian Caiyi who was not far away, and said with a smile, "There are many caravans to and from the Immortal Kingdom, and they can take senior anywhere."
However, Huo Feng's meaningful comment failed to embarrass Lian Caiyi.
The woman, who had long since changed back into a white dress, paled slightly and whispered sadly, "You are so eager to drive me away…… You hate me so much?"
Her soft and sad appearance made people pity her.
Only such an expression could no longer sway Huo Feng.
At the beginning, when Huo Feng saw the woman's soft and pitiful appearance, even though he knew she was acting, he could not help but feel a sliver of guilt that he had done something wrong.
However, after a few days together, Huo Feng had already become accustomed to such charm.
Lian Caiyi's mournful, sad, joyful and smiling words of charm were unable to shake his mind.
The only thing he felt now was trouble.
It was good that beside the wolf god was still a clean place.
As long as he stayed by the wolf god's side, this woman would be not too unrestrained.
While Huo Feng stopped speaking, Lu Heng looked at Lian Caiyi and said with a smile, "Does Miss Lian not want to go to the Immortal Country?"
Lian Caiyi said with a soft face, "I don't have any friends or relatives in the Immortal Country, so I have no one to visit when I get off the ship…… I want to ask wolf god to take me to the Siren Kingdom, I have a friend in the Siren Kingdom, so I can ask her for help."
Lian Caiyi's soft whispers made Huo Feng roll his eyes.
An old evil woman who knew the Lord of the Bliss Palace needed to find someone to help?
He couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Senior Caiyi is really soft."
With such words, it was almost as if he was explicitly tearing down the stage.
It was just that Lian Caiyi was not embarrassed to hear this, but smiled and looked towards Lu Heng, waiting for Lu Heng's response.
Lu Heng looked at Lian Caiyi’s expectant face, and then looked at Huo Feng at the side, and he was a bit amused.
Could it be that this beautiful woman who had achieved success in cultivation really fell in love with Huo Feng?
This kind of drama of being pursued by a beautiful woman is really very protagonist-like.
With a kind of interest in watching the drama, Lu Heng also smiled and said, "Go and discuss with brother Huo. This boat was hired by brother Huo, if you want to stay, you have to have brother Huo's permission to do so."
Laughing lightly, he kicked the ball back to Huo Feng, and Lu Heng left with a smile, leaving the place to the two of them.
Soon, the small boat approached the port of the Immortal Kingdom.
Under the slightly overcast sky, the harbour was surprisingly quiet.
There were many ships at anchor, but not many people in sight. The city gates at the back of the harbour were also closed and not open.
Lu Heng was a little curious, "Why is it so quiet here?"
Huo Feng explained, "The people of the Immortal Kingdom are different from normal people. Although they are all immortal, they are pale and afraid of the sun."
"During the day, they hide in their homes to rest and sleep, and would not go out until after the sun had set and night had fallen, moving only at night."
"Therefore, the gates of the city are tightly closed during the daytime. Merchants who come and go and want to enter the city to make purchases have to wait until after nightfall."
"And the night market in the Immortal Kingdom is notoriously bustling and lively. The night time passes quickly when you hang around the place."
"So the merchants who come and go choose to rest during the day and enter the city at night in order to have the energy to go to the night market to sell their goods or make purchases."
"It's midday now, but everyone has gone to bed, that's why we don't see many people."
Huo Feng's explanation made Lu Heng a little surprised.
Long life, pale complexion, fear of sunlight ……
"These undead people, do they still like to suck blood?" Lu Heng jokingly said.
These few characteristics that Huo Feng mentioned were simply exactly the same as vampires.
After Lu Heng finished speaking, he saw Huo Feng nodding seriously and said, "That's right, just as the wolf god said, all the citizens of the Immortal Kingdom like to drink blood."
"From the lord of the country down to the commoners, the entire nation loves to suck blood. They are not interested in normal meals."
"Therefore, although the night market in the Immortal Kingdom is bustling, there is almost no food for outsiders in the country's restaurants, only freshly killed food."
"When you enter the Immortal Kingdom, you have to prepare your own food, or go to the market and buy some ingredients to bring back to the ship to cook for yourself, otherwise you will go hungry."
Huo Feng's serious account made Lu Heng a little speechless.
They're really vampires?
He tentatively asked again, "Then these undead citizens, do they bite people? If they bite, will people also turn into their kind?"
Lu Heng's enquiry caused Huo Feng to be stunned and shook his head, "I have not heard of such things……"
Huo Feng said, "Although the Immortal Kingdom is an important sea port, it has always been mysterious and outsiders are only allowed to appear near the bazaar and are not allowed to enter the city."
"So although there are many merchants coming and going from the south to the north here, few people have been able to explore the real situation within the Immortal Kingdom. Many things are only rumors on the surface."
"The real conditions within the Immortal Kingdom, such as their population, why they can live forever, and who their ancestors were…… the outsiders have no way of knowing."
Huo Feng's narration made Lu Heng frown slightly.
While not far away, Lian Caiyi pondered and began to think about that question Lu Heng had just asked.
Will undead citizens bite people…… Will normal people turn into undead citizens after being bitten……
She silently lowered her head, and a guess came to her mind.
Could it be that…… this mysterious Immortal Kingdom existed back in the Wolf God's time?
Or perhaps …… the wolf god knew their ancestors?
