Chapter 1149 Two Young Ladies

In the gray-white mist, three figures flew backward from the twisted space.

“Boss!?”

An Qingyu stabilized his form and looked up again at the three twisted spaces, but they were already empty.

Covered in blood, Lin Qiye frowned deeply, instantly extending his mental perception to its maximum range. Besides the surging sea and endless mist, there was nothing else.

Even the waters they were in now were no longer the same ones where they had entered Heaven. This was a completely unfamiliar place.

“Heaven and Hell are indeed moving,” Lin Qiye murmured.

Under the contamination of ashes, those two connected divine realms had completely merged into one, transforming into some mysterious K-system creature wandering the world. It had just expelled the three of them here, and now it might have moved to who knows where.

“Qiye, what happened to Boss?” An Qingyu, who had been pinned down by the meat mountain and hadn’t seen the final situation, asked.

“…I don’t know,” Lin Qiye remained silent for a long time, his lips curling with bitterness. “He actively absorbed the Hell Origin. I don’t know if that jade pendant can protect his life under the power of the Origin.

Even if he ultimately survives, I don’t know if he’ll still be the Boss we’re familiar with.”

Everyone fell silent.

“Regardless, our immediate priority is to return to Great Xia and bring back news of the K-system divine realm to see if the Heavenly Court has any countermeasures,” Lin Qiye slowly said.

“That’s all we can do for now,” An Qingyu nodded.

Jiang Er hesitated for a moment before asking, “But we don’t have a ship now, and we don’t know which direction Great Xia is. How do we get back?”

After a brief silence, her gaze and An Qingyu’s fell simultaneously on Lin Qiye.

“…Miracles don’t necessarily appear every time,” Lin Qiye sighed. “Let me try.”

Lin Qiye took off [Zhan Bai], waved it casually in the sky, and with a flash of golden light, the blade pointed toward a certain direction in the mist.

Endless clouds churned beneath his feet, carrying the three of them swiftly through the sky, speeding away.

…

Between the rolling mist, a luxury cruise ship cut through the deep water, like a giant beast in the night, silently advancing in the darkness.

Dots of light illuminated from the ship’s cabin, brightening a corner of the night. On the side of this dreamlike pixel cruise ship, sharp black strokes like blade edges were engraved with two large characters:

—Shangye.

Ship’s cabin.

Leather shoes stepped on the pixel-style floor, making creaking sounds. The knight stopped in front of a wooden door.

He reached out and knocked gently.

“Come in,” a silver bell-like female voice came from behind the door.

The knight pushed open the door to reveal a workshop filled with diesel smell and metallic taste. In the center of the workshop, a half-modified “Dodge Tomahawk” motorcycle was quietly suspended in the air.

Beside this silver motorcycle full of explosive power, a silver-haired girl wearing a black leather jacket and boots slowly emerged from beneath the motorcycle.

She held a wrench thicker than her arm in her left hand, and casually wiped her oil-stained right hand on a cloth. Her waterfall-like silver hair fluttered slightly in the sea breeze from outside the door.

“President,” the knight respectfully said, “we found a girl around the ship. She says she wants to see you.”

“A girl?” Ji Nian raised an eyebrow. “How old?”

“She looks about your age.”

“Any distinguishing features?”

“Features… not really, except she’s from Great Xia.” The knight gestured with his hand. “Black hair, about half a head shorter than you, covered in injuries, and not particularly striking in appearance – one of those rather ordinary girls.”

Ji Nian lowered her head in thought for a moment, tossed the cloth onto the Tomahawk motorcycle, and strode directly toward the door in her boots.

“Let’s take a look.”

Ji Nian traversed half the cruise ship and finally met the ordinary girl the knight had mentioned at the bow. Several Shangye members saw Ji Nian arrive, immediately bowed, and quickly withdrew.

“It’s you?” Ji Nian said with surprise upon seeing the familiar face.

“…It’s me.” Si Xiaonan, soaking wet, leaned against the ship’s railing and sighed deeply. “Finding you was not easy.”

“You came from Great Xia? What happened to cause those injuries?”

“Had some trouble on the Pamir Plateau…”

Si Xiaonan explained the whole story with a bitter smile. Ji Nian, hands in her leather jacket pockets and silver hair blowing in the sea breeze, frowned deeper and deeper.

“Immortality and Imperishability Pills?”

Ji Nian narrowed her eyes. “Loki wants to use these to reach the supreme?”

“Exactly.” Si Xiaonan took out two pill bottles from her bosom and tossed them to Ji Nian. “The Immortality bottle contains the real Immortality Pills, while the Imperishability bottle contains poison from the Queen Mother and a Soul-Consuming Pill.”

Ji Nian caught both bottles and opened each to look inside.

“So, what do you plan to do?”

Si Xiaonan took a deep breath, turned her head, and her gaze penetrated the hazy mist, shining with profound light.

“I have a plan,” Si Xiaonan said calmly. “But I need you to help me with one more thing.”

“Tell me.”

“I hope…”

The salty sea breeze swept across the bow of the ship. Amid the humming sound of waves, Si Xiaonan finished explaining her plan, earnestly gazing into Ji Nian’s eyes.

“That’s not difficult,” Ji Nian nodded thoughtfully. “However, I need three days… After three days, I’ll have someone deliver it to you.”

Hearing Ji Nian’s answer, Si Xiaonan sighed slightly with relief.

“Thank you.”

“No need to thank me. Back when I infiltrated Asgard’s ‘inner circle,’ if it weren’t for you, I couldn’t have escaped the Norse gods’ encirclement unscathed.” Ji Nian smiled slightly. “We’re friends, aren’t we?”

Si Xiaonan was momentarily stunned. A rare smile appeared on her haggard face, but it was quickly overshadowed by deep sadness.

“What’s wrong?” Ji Nian asked.

“Nothing… I just miss the old days.” Si Xiaonan gazed at the distant sea, lost in thought. “Back then, I had many friends around me. With them, everything seemed much easier…”

Ji Nian opened her mouth as if wanting to offer some comfort, but seeing Si Xiaonan’s dejected expression, she said nothing.

“By the way, there’s one more thing. Leng Xuan was taken back to Great Xia and imprisoned by the Night Watchers. I’m worried the higher-ups might trouble him because of me and Loki, so…”

“I understand,” Ji Nian nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll personally return to Great Xia and get him out.”

“Mm… I’ll be going now.”

Si Xiaonan turned around and dragged her injured body toward the sea at the bow.

“What about your injuries? With wounds this severe, simple bandaging won’t be enough – they’ll worsen in the sea.” Ji Nian grabbed her hand. “Wait a moment, I’ll call someone to treat you. I have a very capable person under me who can heal all your injuries in minutes…”

“No need,” Si Xiaonan shook her head. “Loki knows I’m injured. If I return with fully healed wounds, he’ll be suspicious… Looking like this will actually lower his guard.”

Si Xiaonan released Ji Nian’s hand and smiled slightly. “Goodbye.”

Splash—!

She leaped lightly, plunging into the sea that resembled an abyss.
