Creation of the Universe

"Please, both of you."

This middle-aged man is serious and his every move reveals his majesty.

At this time, he invited Shen Zhan and Shen Jingjuan into the cabin, but his tone sounded more like an order.

Fortunately, Shen Zhan and Shen Jingjuan were not easy to deal with. As princes and princesses of the Jinning Palace, they had seen many different kinds of people, so they did not feel nervous.

Shen Zhan was just curious. The man in front of him was already very arrogant. Wasn't he the owner of this big ship?

But the woman who was talking in the cabin just now was obviously of a higher status than him.

No matter what, since we are already on their boat, we should naturally meet the owner and see what his intentions are.

In the dim cabin, an old lady who looked to be in her eighties greeted the two with a warm smile. The atmosphere seemed harmonious and there didn't seem to be anything wrong.

"When I heard you talking just now, I guessed you must be a perfect match, and it turned out to be true!"

Shen Zhan and Shen Jingjuan were born into royal families, and both of them had outstanding looks, so the old lady's praise was not really a deliberate compliment.

"Old lady, do you have any instructions for us?"

Shen Zhan lowered his posture and asked.

"I heard that you were from the Jinning Palace. Now I see that you are really young and promising. It makes people happy to see you.

Now that you have left the palace, what are your plans for the future?"

Shen Zhan replied calmly, "To be honest, we haven't thought about it carefully. We can only take it one step at a time. If we can successfully shake off the pursuers right now, it would be great."

"Well, that's a honest answer. I believe what you say."

After the old lady finished speaking, she inadvertently glanced at the middle-aged man at the door. Although this detail was not easy to detect, it did not escape Shen Zhan's attention.

So, let’s get to the point, right?

Shen Zhan speculated in his mind.

The old lady asked Shen Zhan and Shen Jingjuan to take a seat, and then a servant brought them tea. There was nothing wrong with the host's hospitality, but there was a faint discomfort in the claustrophobic cabin.

Shen Jingjuan didn't think twice and just picked up the tea and started drinking. She had been running for such a long time that her mouth was already dry.

"If you two don't have a place to go for the time being, why not stay on our ship? To be honest, we are from the Wu family of Weihai State. We have been doing business abroad for many years and have been to all corners of the world. Right now, this large ship is heading south along the river. We will be doing a big business there, and we are in urgent need of manpower."

Having said that, the old lady looked at Shen Zhan with admiration and said, "Especially young people like you two, if you are willing to join us, I believe this will be an immediate success."

Shen Zhan asked: "What exactly does the old lady mean by business..."

"Of course it's a good deal worth the risk. If you succeed once, it will be enough for you two, brother and sister, to live a life of luxury for the rest of your lives."

That being said, the old lady still didn't explain what kind of deal it was.

But from what he said, it is obvious that buying and selling is not that easy, and it requires taking risks.

Shen Zhan said tactfully, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but we brothers and sisters don't know anything. I'm afraid we'll be clumsy and fail to handle the matter. If we end up delaying Madam's big deal, that would be troublesome."

Normally, when things have come to this point, one would not continue to force others, but the old lady did not let Shen Zhan and Shen Jingjuan go easily.

Although the old lady had a smile on her face, her tone had become firm. She insisted, "To be honest, our business requires those with cultivation. Meeting you two here is fate. Why don't you come with us? It won't be too late to make a decision once we reach our destination."

"Is this okay?"

Shen Zhan heard the threat in the old lady's words. At this time and place, they were living under someone else's roof and had no idea of ​​the other party's true strength, so he could only pretend to agree for the time being and make plans after figuring out the situation.

"Okay, we brothers and sisters will follow the old lady's arrangements."

After receiving Shen Zhan's positive response, the old lady's smile became kind and gentle again, but her previous look did make people feel a little nervous.

The middle-aged man who had been standing at the door had put away the sword in his hand at some point. Shen Zhan knew that if he rejected the old lady in person, the scene that followed would probably not be so harmonious.

After Shen Zhan and Shen Jingjuan temporarily gained the old lady's trust, a maid on the ship took them to the clean guest room in the cabin.

"You two can rest here. If you need anything, you can find me at the place we just passed by."

Only after the outsiders left did Shen Zhan feel a little more relaxed. They had indeed shaken off the pursuers by jumping onto the boat, but it also seemed as if they had stepped onto a pirate ship at the same time.

Even Shen Jingjuan knew something was wrong and asked Shen Zhan, "Almost everyone on this ship has cultivation, even that maid just now. Didn't you notice?"

Shen Zhan replied: "Of course I know. Since we are already on the boat, let's just make the best of it."

At this time, in the old lady's cabin, the middle-aged man said to her respectfully, "Three more people have died under the cabin. If this continues, one-third of them will die before they reach the destination."

"This is your negligence. If the news hadn't spread, would it have turned out like this?"

The man lowered his head, his expression showing a hint of pain.

The old lady continued, "This new couple has great talents. We must make good use of them. We must treat them well until they reach their destination. When it's time for them to repay their debts, they must be obedient and work hard for us!"

"Yes, I remember."

"Also, we need to bring back as many Earth Spirit Fruits as possible this time. The warrior selection will begin soon, and you will know the value of an Earth Spirit Fruit by then."

When this matter was mentioned, the old lady's eyes suddenly flashed with light. She was so excited because their Wu family would take advantage of this warrior selection to become one of the top families in Weihai State.

In order to achieve this goal, this trip must be a great success without any mistakes. However, the manpower originally brought from Weihai State suffered heavy losses along the way.

The man said in a low voice, "We've already lost a lot of manpower trying to get the Earth Spirit Fruit out of the cave. This isn't going to work. It's going to have a significant impact on the family's strength."

"That can't be helped. The Earth Dragon Turtle is a fourth-grade, mid-level spirit beast. Taking the Earth Spirit Fruit from under its nose is inherently risky. But don't worry, there will always be people around. Besides, the casualties are always those with the most shallow cultivation base."

The old lady sneered coldly, "These people are born to be our stepping stones."
