The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 727: Catching up is luck, not catching up is fate

The boatman was very happy because he had received so much silver, so he generously announced that the melon seeds would be free during the voyage.

Fortunately, the rooms assigned to Ye Wenyan and his party were indeed upper rooms, and they were spacious enough. There was also a tea table in each room, but unfortunately there were no snacks. The boatman said, "Except for melon seeds, everything else will be charged separately. Just tell us what you need."

Feng Zhaolian was so angry that she almost hit the man, but luckily the boatman ran fast enough and was only kicked in the butt.

When the rooms were divided, Feng Zhaolian was naughty and insisted on sharing a room with Quan Qinghua, but Ji Rong dragged her away. She was unwilling to accept this and asked, "Then why can Ah Yan share a room with her man? Why can't I share a room with Quan Qinghua?"

Ji Rong said, "Grandfather, please keep your voice down. This is on the ship, not our home. If you shout out the Fourth Prince's name like that, what if there are ears on the other side of the wall? Wouldn't we be in danger? Besides, the master is engaged to the Emperor, and they have a legal status. You and the Fourth Prince are at most in love with each other. Besides, the Fourth Prince didn't clearly say that he liked you. How could you offer yourself up so voluntarily? A girl's innocence is so important!"

Feng Zhaolian said, "I don't plan to sacrifice myself! I just live in a room, what does it have to do with my innocence? If I sleep in his room for a night, will my innocence be lost? Quan Qinghua wouldn't be so beastly, right? We are on a boat."

Ji Rong wanted to cover her mouth. "No matter what, you have to stay with me tonight."

Finally, the two of them returned to the house. Quan Qinghua rubbed his nose and felt that he had to find an opportunity to thank Ji Rong. Feng Zhaolian was a crazy girl. If she really insisted on staying in the same room with him, he might not be able to refuse.

The four rooms were reasonably allocated, Quan Qinghua and Tianya shared one, Ji Duo and Yun Xiao shared one, Ji Rong took Feng Zhaolian away, and Shi Liyuan took Ye Wenyan away. However, Yun Xiao had to choose the room next to Feng Zhaolian, saying that it would be easier to protect him.

Ji Duo said: "With my sister following the princess, nothing will happen." But Yun Xiao was still worried.

At 15:00, the boat finally set sail. The sky outside was even darker than at noon, and it was already as dark as night at this hour.

Not long after the boat started sailing, a boatman came over and asked if we wanted to order dinner. If we did, it would cost one or two taels of silver per person.

Many people thought it was too expensive. The food on the boat was just simple. They saw it when they boarded the boat. The food the boatman brought on board was not rare. He even brought a lot of steamed buns. He only wanted one or two taels of silver? The boatman was too ruthless!

People opened their doors to express their dissatisfaction and denounced the boatman. Feng Zhaolian also opened his door, but said to the outside: "Now you know that the boatman is black-hearted? Why didn't you think that this is a black-hearted boatman when you boarded the boat? Otherwise, they wouldn't charge twice as much to take more of you. And they said that the boat was not booked by us. Who of you has ever heard of paying 3,000 taels of silver to take a boat and allowing the boatman to take others? Okay, if you want to eat, pay the silver quickly. If you don't want to eat, go back to your room. You asked for it!"

After saying that, he threw a handful of silver over and said, "For our four rooms!"

The boatman happily took the silver and left, saying as he walked, "Hurry up and eat. There is only so much food. If you don't order it early, it will be gone. It will take three days before we can get supplies at the next dock."

Although people were reluctant, they had no choice but to pay. Some people who didn't have much money would share one portion for two people and only pay one tael.

But besides those who could stay in the guest rooms, there were some people who didn't have enough money to stay in the guest rooms, so they sat on the floor in the cabin. A meal with one or two taels of silver was too luxurious for them, so they asked the boatman if they could get a cheaper price. Unfortunately, the boatman didn't give them a discount, so they had to pool three or five people to make sure they didn't starve to death.

Ye Wenyan came into the house and started to untie his hair. He spent a long time untie it but still couldn't figure it out. He got so angry that he said, "Your place is really troublesome. You have to comb your hair in such a complicated way. In the past, we just tied it up casually, and even let it down to look good. Now, it takes half an hour every day to comb my hair."

Shi Liyuan hurried over to smooth his wife's hair, "Don't move, I'll do it." He personally smoothed his wife's hair, his slender fingers running through her long hair, and soon he had smoothed out the tangled hair.

The wife was very satisfied: "Since Lord Emperor has this skill, I will leave this work to you in the next few days."

He said, "You don't have to do this these days. I can comb your hair in the future." As he spoke, he tried to use magic to dry her hair that was wet from the rain, but he tried several times without success and had to give up.

"It still doesn't work?" Ye Wenyan was also a little worried, "Have you ever encountered this situation before?"

Shi Liyuan shook his head, "It still doesn't work, and it has never been like this before. Even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, it made no difference to me. I once wondered why those spiritual practitioners chose to commit suicide, but now I understand. The spiritual power that you are used to can no longer be used. You can obviously breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but suddenly you can only breathe air. It's better to die."

"Let's see when this rain will pass!" Ye Wenyan got up and sat by the window. It was very dark outside and the wind was very strong. As soon as the window was opened a little, the wind rushed in. Shi Liyuan quickly closed the window.

"Don't look at it, be careful not to get cold. Right now we don't have spiritual power to protect us, so we are not much different from ordinary people. At most, we are ordinary people with good martial arts skills, so we must be careful about everything."

"Why do you think the weather has suddenly turned cold?" Ye Wenyan couldn't figure it out. "We are clearly heading south, and it should be getting warmer as we go, but now it's as cold as late autumn outside. If we walk for a few more days, it won't turn into winter, right? People can understand rainy days, but for them, summer turning into winter is a big deal. The situation in the court has finally stabilized a little, and the regent has finally sworn to protect the emperor wholeheartedly until he can rule the country. But if the people are uneasy, the efforts of the court will be in vain." "If it's really in vain, that's his fate." Shi Liyuan said, "No one wants to face natural disasters, but if he has to, I hope he can show the momentum of an emperor. Natural disasters are not scary, but losing courage in the face of natural disasters is the scariest thing. If he is really as vulnerable as you think, then I would have accepted this disciple in vain."

Ye Wenyan laughed, "It's true that a strict teacher produces a good disciple. To be your disciple, one must be strong in heart, otherwise the master will be disappointed. Master Liyuan, did your previous master teach you the same way? So you are imitating him to teach Qingcheng?"

"No." Shi Liyuan shook his head. "My master treated me much more harshly. Even after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth disappeared, he didn't care whether I lived or died. Instead, he ran to the edge of the sky alone and shattered my heart meridian with a palm. When I found his body, he still had a smile on his face, and I didn't know why he was smiling. But I think he definitely didn't run to the edge of the sky without a purpose. According to his personality, he must have run to the edge of the sky, pointed at the sky and cursed it, and then died. He is the kind of person who can't die in vain. He must take someone with him. Even if the sky can't be pulled down to take the blame for him, he will run to the place closest to the sky and curse to his heart's content. After cursing, his life will be over. Otherwise, even if he dies, he will fight with the sky to the end."

"He is really an interesting person." Ye Wenyan thought about what Guan Bao said, and then thought about what Shi Liyuan said, and felt that the senior named Yan Budu was a very interesting person. "It's a pity that he left early and I came too late, so we didn't meet. Otherwise, I must meet him, maybe my life would be more exciting."

She yearned for a while, but she dispelled her worries about Quan Qingcheng. Thinking about it again, she felt that Shi Liyuan was right. She couldn't always help Quan Qingcheng walk. The boy would grow up to be an emperor sooner or later. If she continued to help him, she would delay him.

"What do you think the situation is like in the shoreless sea now?" She asked Shi Liyuan, and at the same time she made some guesses, "Will there be another tsunami? This time, neither you nor I can make it in time. If there is a tsunami, won't the people of Scarlet Cloud City be in trouble?"

Shi Liyuan thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely to cause a tsunami. Rather than this guess, I'm more inclined to believe that the shoreless sea is frozen." "Frozen? How is that possible!" She immediately shook her head, "It's impossible. The sea is so vast, how could it be frozen?"

"It's just a guess." He said, "No one of us knows the situation over there right now, and we can't use our own spiritual power, so we can only use mortal methods to rush south day by day. If we can catch up, it's luck. If we can't, it's fate."

He paused here and continued, "In fact, even if we make it, it depends on whether our spiritual power can be restored. If the weather over there is also like this, the spiritual power will most likely not be able to be used. Then what difference does it make whether we make it or not? Ah Yan, perhaps the only thing you can look forward to on this trip to the south is to see your friend."

"You mean... we are helpless in the face of the shoreless sea?" She smiled bitterly. "If we are helpless like this, how can we face the catastrophe of heaven and earth in the future? Shi Liyuan, do you think God is playing tricks on us? There is a catastrophe in heaven and earth, but he took away our abilities in such a disaster. Don't we have to face the catastrophe like mortals? We have no way out, so mortals can only wait to die? Then all the things we thought about before, such as coping with catastrophes and restoring life, have become empty words?"

She was a little excited, and stood up while talking. Shi Liyuan wanted to say don't worry, there will be a way out, everything is just speculation. But before he could finish his words, there was a knock on the door: "You two, I'm a boatman, I'm here to bring you some melon seeds..."
