Chapter 6 Arrival at the Nameless Island
"Young Master Xiao, Young Master Xiao."
As noon approached, a knock came from outside Xiao Xuan's cabin door.
Xiao Xuan was seizing every moment to cultivate his internal strength. Upon hearing the sound, he immediately picked up his cold steel sword and cautiously walked to the door.
"It's you."
Upon opening the door, only the crew member from Qianlang Village who had been taking care of Xiao Xuan's daily life was there, and he was carrying a wooden tray.
"It's me, it's me. Young Master Xiao, would you like some food?"
"Just leave it there."
After placing the tray down, the crew member immediately left.
Xiao Xuan locked the door again and went to the tray, on which was a bowl of simple fish soup boiled in water, with two coarse grain cakes on the side.
Practicing martial arts is not like cultivating immortality; having enough to eat is still very important.
"but..."
Xiao Ding stared intently at the fish soup and flatbread, and slowly words appeared on them; they were just simple food items.
"The ship will arrive in a few hours. There is really no need to poison it anymore. The more we do, the more flaws we will reveal."
But from another perspective, this also shows that Lei Long and Su Qing have absolute confidence in this Heart-Eating Gu.
"Since things have come to this, let's eat first."
Xiao Xuan first tasted the fish in the bowl, and his brows immediately furrowed.
The sea bass was indeed of good quality, but it was cooked terribly.
"What a waste!"
Xiao Xuan sighed. If this fish were in his hands, it would definitely become a delicacy.
The reason for such confidence is that Xiao Xuan is indeed a professional.
In his previous life, Xiao Xuan came from a poor family. He didn't go to university and wasn't a typical office worker. He started working hard at the age of 16. Through hard work and opportunities, he is now a well-known Michelin-starred chef in the Western food industry. He is proficient in Western dishes and desserts and has even appeared on chef-related variety shows.
But now...
Xiao Xuan swallowed some food hastily, then sat back on the bed and began circulating his qi.
Half a day has passed since Xiao Xuan met Riko Furukawa and Mai Shuangji on the deck. He has been cultivating, but his progress in Baiyun Jin has not increased.
This is not surprising. The original owner of this body cultivated for nearly ten years and only reached 96% of the progress. It's impossible for me to break through to perfection in less than a day after transmigrating.
If such an invincible cheat code really existed, then why would I need to constantly be on guard against these people? I could just sweep through their defenses.
"I'm already quite content to have the cheat code to get hints and to fight for a chance of survival in this dead end."
Xiao Xuan is such a person. Whether it was the original owner of the body or himself, he always firmly believed that although one's birth and talent are predetermined, as long as one perseveres and takes a chance, there will always be a different path.
After a day of familiarization, Xiao Xuan is now becoming more and more adept at manipulating the true energy within his body.
During cultivation, one can not only feel the breathing of acupoints throughout the body, but also sense changes in the surrounding environment.
"Huh? The ship has stopped?"
After some time, Xiao Xuan felt the change in the degree of swaying of the ship, so he adjusted his breathing, packed his belongings, picked up the cold steel sword, and went up to the deck.
"Brother Xiao has arrived as well, so everyone is here."
On the deck, Lei Long and the others were already standing at the bow, gazing at the island that was gradually getting bigger ahead.
Standing beside him were two men dressed differently from the people of the Central Plains; they were probably the natives of the nameless island.
Xiao Xuan smiled slightly at Lei Long, then looked around. All eight people had arrived last night.
Wei Ziheng and Sha Peng stared intently at the nameless island, while Su Qing leaned against Lei Long, whispering something to each other.
Mai Shuangji, disguised as Zhang Qianyou, watched their every move, while Gu Chuan Lizi avoided everyone's gaze.
As for Wang Hong, he naturally locked his gaze on Xiao Xuan the moment Xiao Xuan walked up.
Seeing his reaction, Xiao Xuan glared back coldly, silently gripping the cold steel sword, his thumb resting on the guard, ready to draw his sword at any moment.
"Look! Why are there so many people?"
When they were still two or three hundred meters away from the nameless island, Sha Peng suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
On the shore of the nameless island, hundreds of people had gathered, holding sticks and spears, and were arranged in a square formation facing the approaching ship.
"What's going on?"
Lei Long frowned and immediately asked the locals next to him.
"Although our island is sparsely populated, it is occasionally attacked by pirates or Japanese pirates. The villagers probably saw this ship from afar and mistook you for pirates or Japanese pirates."
Upon hearing this, Lei Long's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. The others beside him exchanged glances, secretly chuckling to themselves.
Xiao Xuan was also paying attention to Lei Long and Furukawa Riko's reactions, after all, one of them was a pirate leader and the other was a Japanese spy.
"You still know about the Japanese pirates?"
"Of course. Our village was originally isolated from the world and we didn't even know about the change of dynasties in the Central Plains until the immortal came and told us a lot about the importance of paying attention to current events. Now we go to the ferry in the Central Plains every two months to trade goods and inquire about current events."
While the locals were talking, the boat slowly approached the island.
Another local immediately squeezed to the bow of the boat and shouted to the crowd on the island, "Hey! It's us!"
"Grandma! It's Shiwa! Fourth Brother and Shiwa are back!"
On the shore of the nameless island, a man recognized the people on the ship and came to the center of the formation to report to an old woman.
The old woman squinted at them and said calmly, "Don't rush, let's see who they are first. Shiwa and Xiao Sizi don't often leave the island, they're easily fooled."
"Yes, Mother-in-law."
As Lei Long's ship approached the island, the people on the island slowly moved closer. However, they did not make a move immediately, but instead left room for everyone to disembark.
"Place the springboard."
At Lei Long's command, the crew lowered the gangplank for disembarking.
"Please go first, you two."
Seeing the islanders' posture, Lei Long and his men naturally prepared for a fierce battle, tempted by the immense wealth.
Xiao Xuan stood behind the crowd, starting to make plans in his mind.
If a fight really breaks out, can I kill Wang Hong first and then take advantage of the chaos to attack Su Qing and seize the mother insect?
It might not be easy. Wang Hongxian didn't care, but Su Qing's cultivation level was far above his own. If he failed in one strike and she activated the Gu poison in her body, he would probably only have one way out: death.
But what if they team up with Mak Shuang-chi?
Xiao Xuan's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the disguised Golden Arches constable, but the man was standing right next to Lei Long, his short sword already drawn.
"Still performing, right?"
Although Xiao Xuan knew that Mai Shuangji might have bigger plans, he was still somewhat displeased.
If sacrifice is truly unavoidable, Xiao Xuan will only willingly sacrifice himself for the greater goal in his heart, rather than becoming a sacrificed part of someone else's plan.
Just as tensions were running high, an old woman stepped forward from among the islanders.
"My two grandsons just told me that you are a merchant ship, here to buy supplies for this island. But your appearance doesn't look like that of a merchant."
