Chapter 326 Chu You Becomes an Auction Item (Edited)
"Brother! Wait!"
Chu You immediately called out, and hurriedly comforted the big guy:
"I didn't mean to stay out, but I was so exhausted from the blow that I couldn't jump out at all."
The Blue-Eyed Demon Whale had the intelligence of a three-year-old child and didn't doubt Chu You at all:
"What should I do? I don't have the strength to spit you out."
As it spoke, it began to cry again:
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have responded to that inexplicable dream of the gods."
"What do you mean by 'god pointing to dreams'?"
"My parents ascended to the immortal realm two years ago, but they were worried about me, whose mind was only one year old, so they often appeared in my dreams, teaching me how to practice in the deep sea.
But a thousand years ago, they appeared to me in my dreams less and less frequently, and later on, they almost never appeared.
Every time, a strange-looking middle-aged male demon fairy with blue hair would guide me in my cultivation in my dreams."
The Blue-Eyed Demon Whale sobbed.
Chu You became more and more confused as he listened: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It was that blue-haired demon fairy who told me that if I devoured this mechanical ship on the ocean voyage, my cultivation would be close to ascending to immortality, and I would soon be able to visit my parents in the fairyland."
"So, you came to attack us?"
"That's right! Because according to the normal cultivation speed, we, the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale, will need to cultivate for at least ten thousand years before we can ascend.
If I don't devour you, I will have to practice for another seven thousand years before I can go to the fairyland to find my parents.
But I miss them so much, woooo..."
Chu You's expression was slightly stern, and he became even more wary of the Immortal Realm. As he heard the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale crying more and more sadly, he came up with a plan:
"If you don't want to die, it's actually very simple.
If you want to go to the fairyland, you don't necessarily have to practice for seven thousand years.
I have a more convenient method, it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate."
"Is this true?"
The Blue-Eyed Demon Whale was so shocked that he stopped crying and urged:
"Hurry up and tell me! Hurry up and tell me!"
"If I say yes, I'm afraid you won't agree or believe it."
Chu You silently brainwashed himself, saying, "Saving a whale's life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." Under the urging of the other party, he slowly said:
"If you acknowledge me as your master, you can enter my spirit pet space to avoid the thunder tribulation, and the pain in your body will gradually be healed.
After I survived the thunder tribulation, I reached the tribulation realm and was only one step away from the ascension stage.
Even if it takes you one hundred or eighty years to ascend, it is still faster than practicing for seven thousand years to ascend.
Then, I can take you to the fairyland to find your parents, what do you think?"
The Blue-Eyed Demon Whale pondered for a long time before saying:
"Do you really have the ability to ascend?"
"I'm only in my early twenties, but I've already reached the Tribulation Realm. I'm one of the most talented people in the world of cultivation. Don't underestimate me!"
What Chu You said was true.
Seeing that she was so righteous and confident, and that he himself had been struck hard and could not bear it for much longer, the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale simply gritted his teeth, sacrificed his own contracted spirit, and directly imprinted it in Chu You's consciousness.
It's the "master-servant contract" again.
Chu You smiled secretly and said quickly:
"Go, go, go, quickly hide in the spirit pet space!"
The Blue-Eyed Demon Whale did not dare to delay and "whoosh" into Chu You's spirit pet space.
What it didn't know was that just as it entered, the disaster clouds in the sky slowly dissipated the next second.
I really don’t know whether this thunder tribulation is aimed at Chu You or it.
Just when Chu You breathed a sigh of relief, a greater turbulence than before was heard from the depths of the sea.
It turned out that the noises from the thunderstorms and the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale's dying struggles in the past few days were so loud that they triggered an underwater tsunami.
It's like a tidal wave, an endless ripple, and it's impossible to control it.
Chu You had just completed the tribulation and was at his weakest time for recuperation. He was simply unable to resist the powerful force of nature.
Before drifting away, she could only take out a water-repellent bead from the mustard seed bag and put it in her mouth, and then she completely lost consciousness.
The dozen or so people on the mechanical ship did not know that Chu You had contracted the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale. After seeing the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale disappear, they were completely panicked.
Now a tsunami has been triggered, making them even more panicked. They all swallowed the water-repellent beads and prepared to jump into the sea to look for Chu You.
Shangguan Ziqian stopped them and gave each of them a "locator":
"The jade slip signal tower at sea has not yet been built, so the jade slip cannot be used. We can only rely on this 'locator' to sense the other party's position.
You are all orange dots, and I am the red dot.
I am looking for my little sister on the mechanical boat, you go look for her in the sea.
If you find it, come to me according to the location of the red dot.
If you don't know where she is for the time being, but you are sure that she is safe, just press the green button above, and the "locator" of all of us will show it, so you can feel at ease.
If you encounter a crisis that you cannot handle, just press and hold the red dot. I will be able to sense your call for help and will rush to rescue you as quickly as possible.
Is this arrangement okay?"
Everyone nodded quickly, and Ning Suyan also chose to stay in the mechanical ship:
"Your presence in the sea is small, and powerful spirit beasts like the Blue-Eyed Demon Whale are very rare, but you can still encounter them.
Shangguan and I will guard the mechanical ship together. If you are really in danger, we can rush over to rescue you in time."
Everyone also had no objection and jumped into the sea to search separately.
Although Situ Yuner has the lowest cultivation level and has not yet recovered to her mermaid state, she was born to live in the sea and is still the fastest. She does not need to take water-repellent beads at all and can breathe freely in the sea.
In just a moment, he swam nearly a hundred kilometers to the deepest part of the seabed in the east, but still could not sense any trace of Chu You.
In a desperate situation, his potential as a member of the mermaid royal family seemed to be naturally stimulated. He used secret words to call on thousands of marine creatures ruled by the mermaid royal family to come and quickly surround him.
Among them was the little shrimp that had informed him of the news two years ago, and was extremely excited:
"Seventh Prince, is it really you?
You actually came back to the South China Sea. After you left, the Mermaid King and the Mermaid Queen have been missing you, but the jurisdiction of the sea and freshwater areas is different. In addition, there have been more and more open and secret struggles in different sea areas in the past two years. We dare not cross the border at will, so we did not go to the cultivation world to inform you.
I didn't expect you to come back on your own. Come with us back to the Mermaid Palace."
"and many more!"
Situ Yuner also misses his family, but he has more important things to do now:
"You help find someone first. Once you find her, I'll go back to the Mermaid Palace with you."
After saying that, Situ Yuner took out the long black hair that she had secretly hidden from Chu You and released the aura to these sea creatures:
"Remember this smell, and be sure to find her as quickly as possible!"
"Reporting to the Seventh Prince, I just smelled this scent!"
One of the little sea snakes said excitedly that Situ Yuner didn't expect to get news about Chu You so soon. But before a smile could form on the corner of his mouth, the next sentence of the little sea snake made his face change drastically!
"What?! She went to the sea area under the jurisdiction of the Rakshasa tribe?!"
This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Situ Yuner:
"You will lead the way for this prince immediately."
"No! Seventh Prince!"
Xiao Haixia immediately stopped Situ Yuner and said, "The eldest princess of the Rakshasa tribe has already known that you have transformed into a man. The Mermaid King and the Mermaid Queen have told others that you have been instructed by a master and have gone on a journey of self-cultivation, with no known return date.
But they, the Rakshasas, have never stopped looking for you.
The eldest princess of the Rakshasa tribe is still waiting to marry you, but she has never stopped keeping male favorites in the yard.
If you go to the Rakshasa tribe alone, wouldn't that be like walking into a tiger's mouth?"
"I'll be careful and try not to be discovered by them."
Situ Yuner couldn't care less:
"Besides, I'm only engaged to her and we haven't gotten married yet. Even if she finds out about me, she can't do anything to me.
Little sea snake, lead the way!"
Although the little sea snake knew that leading the way would bring danger to its own Seventh Prince, the pressure from the Seventh Prince was so overwhelming that it had no way to resist and could only lead the way obediently.
The little shrimp was extremely anxious and swam towards the Mermaid Palace as fast as he could to report this matter to the Mermaid King and the Mermaid Queen.
······
Compared with other disciples who are still looking for a needle in a haystack, Situ Yuner at least found the right direction.
However, in addition to Situ Yuner, Ning Luo's senses seemed to be several times more sensitive after entering the water than on land. However, he still couldn't find Chu You, so he took out the rarely used "Ethereal Ring", injected spiritual power into it, and tried to call Chu You with his spiritual sense:
"Junior sister? Can you hear me? Junior sister..."
Chu You had consumed too much energy, and on top of that he had contracted with a severely injured Blue-Eyed Demon Whale, he couldn't wake up for a while.
But in his hazy state, he seemed to hear a familiar voice and replied subconsciously:
"Is it... Senior Brother?"
The other party was obviously stunned for a while, and then said with a little excitement:
"Junior sister, it's me!
Where are you now? I will come to find you right away!"
Chu You was surprised and felt it was incredible:
"Big Brother, if I say I don't know where I am right now, would you believe me?"
After a pause, she continued:
"I am still unconscious, and my consciousness heard your call, so I responded to you.
Did you... use the 'Ethereal Ring'?"
She remembered that in addition to its extremely strong attack and defense capabilities, the "Ethereal Ring" could also receive any sound its owner wanted to hear.
It can also secretly transmit the master's voice, including the voice of spiritual consciousness, to anyone you want.
The range of transmission and reception can continue to expand as the master's cultivation level increases. In the later stages, it can even ignore any barriers and cross time and space planes.
This was the first time Ning Luo had used this function of the "Ethereal Ring". Although he still didn't know Chu You's whereabouts, he was relieved to know that Chu You was still alive.
"Then can you try to sense your surroundings?"
“Uh… I feel like I’m floating in the sea…”
Fortunately, it was Ning Luo who contacted Chu You. If it were her four husbands, they would be talking about her in a low and low voice right now.
Ning Luo just smiled helplessly and dotingly, and pressed the green button of the "locator", which at least made everyone feel at ease.
Then, he himself didn't know which direction to swim, so he simply stopped by a coral reef and sat down to chat with her:
"Besides feeling like you're still floating, do you have any other feelings?"
Chu You tried very hard to sense it, and after a long while, he replied weakly:
"The sea water here seems to be a little bit warmer than the sea water we were in before.
Then, the breath didn’t seem so pure.
It has a sticky feeling that's not very comfortable.
If you don’t feel it carefully, you won’t feel the difference.”
Is it hotter and more viscous?
Ning Luo lowered his eyes, his consciousness spreading to a distance of a thousand miles, and he discovered something unusual in the east:
"Junior Sister, I will try to find you in the east. Please communicate with me via your spiritual sense at any time.
If you wake up, tell me about the rest of the situation."
"it is good!"
Fortunately, Ning Luo used the "Ethereal Ring" to contact Chu You, because she was in a coma this time and had been in a coma for three days and three nights!
Ning Luo couldn't determine the exact direction and had a hard time finding it.
Finally, on the third day, Chu You suddenly exclaimed:
"Big Brother, I'm caught in a net!"
"What? Can you try to wake up and break free?"
Ning Luo was extremely anxious.
Chu You was also anxious:
“I can’t move, and I can’t mobilize the three guys in the spirit pet space.
I feel like they are closing in?
Uh...they have closed the net, but I am still in the sea. Why are they still using a net?
Big Brother, I think I can hear them talking!"
"What are they saying? Repeat it back to me and I'll see if I can get my bearings."
"it is good!"
Chu You played several roles and began to repeat the story one by one:
"Huh? Why did the net catch such a big thing today? Why does it look like a mermaid?"
"Why is this mermaid's tail so short? Could it have been bitten off by a sea beast?"
"No! That's not a tail, it's two legs! Oh my god! It's a human!"
"Humans have been soaking in water for so long, they must have died a long time ago, right? What bad luck! Hunting for something like this! Ugh!"
"I heard that human flesh is sour and not tasty at all. Let's just throw her away!"
"Wait! This human seems to be breathing? Still alive!"
"Really? What should we do with her?"
"I heard that many auction houses in our central city love to sell rare and precious treasures. Does a human who can breathe the sea count?"
"Yes! Of course! We brothers are going to be rich! This human is much more beautiful than the princesses of our royal family. Do we want to..."
"No! Take your stinky hands away! Those royals and nobles are extremely possessive and have quirks. If they sense that we've touched the auction items first, even if we get a good price, they'll definitely make trouble for us in the end.
By then, even if we make money, we might not be alive to enjoy it, so you better be patient."
"Right, right, right! With money, there will be so many females waiting for my favor, and I can also obtain cultivation resources. I have to hold back!"
"So, big brother, with so many auction houses, which one should we send this human female to?"
"Just - the Night Royal Auction House!"
After saying this, Chu You felt himself being carried onto something, and then moving steadily in a certain direction.
Ning Luo's expression had long been colder than the peak of ice and snow:
"Little Junior Sister, don't worry, I'll find the Night Royal Auction House right away to rescue you!"
