Chapter 189: Sai Yue and Qing Xiao on the Magic Continent 1
“Alright, in that case, let’s head to the nearest Level 2 city first. The night cold attack shouldn’t appear again, so let’s hurry on our way.”
Xi Rui looked at Sang Chu, not understanding where she got her conclusion: “Master, why wouldn’t there be a cold attack?”
“We’ll know when we check tonight. By the way, you should all go and rest. I’ll stand guard tonight.”
Grandma Yun Xiang and Yun Na had originally wanted to stay, but seeing Sang Chu insist they rest, they didn’t say much more and went back to their rooms.
In the spacious carriage, only Sang Chu remained, leaning back with her eyes closed, resting.
Flower Town
When Sai Yue and Qing Xiao snuck in, they were still a bit nervous. After all, this town was different from a fishing village; the magic formations in towns were more advanced.
But after the two successfully entered the city, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qing Xiao: “What do we do now?”
Sai Yue: “Let’s go to the Witch Hospital first.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
Both of them harbored doubts about Sang Chu’s claim that the City Lord of Feng Xin City was the BOSS, so they went straight to the point.
Although they knew the Witch Hospital was already in ruins, seeing it with their own eyes was still quite shocking.
“Look!”
Following Qing Xiao’s pointing finger, a sizable building was already under construction not far away, looking somewhat like the previous Witch Hospital.
Qing Xiao glanced at Sai Yue, and after seeing her nod, he stepped towards the hospital.
A tall, expressionless man blocked him: “Your Excellency, please stop.”
Qing Xiao looked at the man with a fawning smile, handing him a few crystal shards: “Big Brother, my sister and I traveled a thousand miles from the Lu Xia Sea Area to return. With the Witch Hospital in this state, do you still… accept things?”
The expressionless man coldly eyed him: “How much cargo do you have?”
Qing Xiao sneakily glanced down and slowly held up two fingers: “Do you accept it?”
“Yes, follow me.”
The expressionless man led Qing Xiao and Sai Yue through many twists and turns into a small villa. Looking at the hyacinth wind chimes on top, Sai Yue and Qing Xiao exchanged a subtle glance and became vigilant.
After entering the villa, the expressionless man stopped in front of a large door: “Wait for me here.”
With that, he pushed open the door and went inside. After a long time, the door opened again, and the expressionless man extended his hand to them: “Give me the items first. I need to inspect the goods.”
Qing Xiao and Sai Yue were not unprepared. They took out a small drop of mermaid blood: “Big Brother, we traveled a thousand miles to return and only heard about the Witch Hospital. So, we didn’t dare to carry the goods on us. This mermaid blood should prove that we have the goods, right?”
“Let them in!”
A deep voice came from inside the room. Qing Xiao and Sai Yue trembled upon hearing it, seeing terror in each other’s eyes. Then, they forced themselves to remain calm and walked in after the expressionless man moved aside.
The man sitting on the chair was wearing black, a wizard robe embroidered with hyacinths. With a wave of his hand, the large door closed, and the expressionless man was shut outside.
“When I first heard your voices, I thought I was mistaken. I didn’t expect you to be able to hide your identities as well, Qing Xiao, Sai Yue.”
Sai Yue and Qing Xiao quickly knelt and bowed: “Master.”
The City Lord looked at the two kneeling on the ground, stroking a ceramic rose accessory on the table: “What are you doing here?”
Sai Yue: “Master, we previously accepted a mission from Wu Qi and saw a group that appeared to be Sang Chu in the Dark Weasel Forest. However, Ka Er and everyone else were killed. I escaped using the Hell Gate, so…”
The City Lord chuckled: “Are you planning to kill Wu Qi to avenge Ka Er and the others?”
“Yes, but later we heard that Wu Qi was dead, so we came together with Qing Xiao to investigate.”
City Lord: “Are you afraid Wu Qi was killed by an explosion?”
Qing Xiao: “It’s not impossible. This person is insidious and cunning; what wouldn’t he do? Fortunately, we intercepted a group in the Dark Weasel Forest. They had such a miraculous medicine that not only changed their appearance but also their magic attributes. To prevent anyone from knowing about it, we killed them to silence them and then rushed to Flower Town.”
The City Lord was very curious about the medicine Qing Xiao mentioned and asked: “Where is the medicine?”
Sai Yue: “With your subordinate.”
“Bring it here.”
“Yes.”
Sai Yue walked while keeping her head down, her posture humble, showing no difference from her usual self. But just as the City Lord took the pill Sang Chu had given them from Sai Yue’s hand, Qing Xiao flicked his wrist, and the Hellhound flew out instantaneously. Like a gust of wind, the City Lord had no time to react before being swallowed whole.
Sai Yue watched the Hellhound chew on the sofa, as if everything before her was a dream, her mind in a daze.
The BOSS, who had been like a mountain pressing down on their hearts, had disappeared!
Qing Xiao walked over in a daze and looked at the Hellhound: “Was, was he really eaten?”
Sai Yue: “He, he should have eaten him…”
The Hellhound looked at their dazed expressions, full of doubt, and couldn’t help but roll its eyes, then spat out a bone that flew towards the two of them.
Seeing the bone flying towards him, Qing Xiao instinctively caught it with his hand. It indeed carried the BOSS’s aura. Was he really dead?
“He, he’s really dead!”
Smiles finally appeared on their faces, as if they had finally accepted that this person had died so easily.
“Master?”
The expressionless man outside the door suddenly knocked. Sai Yue glanced at Qing Xiao, a sly smile curving her lips: “Since Master （ Sang Chu ） doesn’t like this place, let’s destroy it again!”
Qing Xiao: “Yeah, consider it a gift for the true Master.”
The dead City Lord liked to be superior, so he demanded that everyone call him Master.
Sai Yue: “Go ahead, make a big scene and destroy this new hospital!”
Both Hellhounds were released.
‘Roar~’
The Hellhounds were extremely excited and broke through the door. The expressionless man was the first to be eaten. Before long, the entire new hospital was in panic. Sai Yue and Qing Xiao found the newly constructed laboratory.
Inside, they saw many unfinished experimental subjects, as well as many half-human, half-fish monsters, which looked more like mermaids than the fish monsters they knew.
“These, don’t look like fish monsters?”
Qing Xiao slowly approached the magic array, looking at the monsters with fish tails, no pustules on their bodies, scales that didn’t pierce the skin, no bleeding, and even smooth, delicate skin. The half-human, half-fish monsters made him frown slightly: “These, are so strange?”
Sai Yue pointed to an experimental bed beside them: “Look over here!”
Next to the experimental bed was a pool of blood, likely from someone bitten to death by the Hellhound. And on the bed lay a person, their chest cut open and legs sawed off.
In the magic array beside them, there were severed fish tails, fins, and other fish parts.
“This, this is directly putting parts from a mermaid onto a person?”
