Chapter 1085
bySeeing Wu Yi sitting there with a straight face, waiting for him to ask, Yang Kai sighed and said reluctantly, “Who provoked you?”
“Those stinky men! How come their IQs are so low? They still have the nerve to take credit for themselves. Yang Kai, are people outside like this too?”
Yang Kai thought for a while and said, “I don’t know about others, but I know that men will become very stupid in one situation.”
“What situation?”
“When facing the woman they like, they often pretend to be stupid and dull in order to attract the woman’s attention.”
Wu Yi thought about it for a while, then suddenly giggled and nodded, saying, “What you said makes sense. Actually, they are not stupid usually. They are smarter than anyone else. But every time I go there, it seems that they are showing the lower limit of their IQ.”
“If they don’t do this, how can they highlight your shrewdness and ability?”
“You mean that actually I’m stupid? It’s just with their help that I seem smart?” Wu Yi immediately became unhappy.
“That’s not what I meant. You’re overthinking. If you weren’t smart enough, no one would dare to let you take charge of this battleship, and those people of theirs wouldn’t hand their lives over to you either.”
“That’s more like it.” Wu Yi snorted, very satisfied with Yang Kai’s answer. Suddenly, she said again, “Do you know that just now when we were fighting outside, I thought we were surely going to die. There were so many Black Rock Beasts, and I’ve never encountered so many before. If they really destroyed the battleship, less than 30% of us could survive. But suddenly a golden long spear appeared and helped us resolve the crisis. Yang Kai, what kind of person do you think the owner of that golden glow is? You were also watching the battle all the time. Didn’t you notice any suspicious people coming and going?”
“No.” Yang Kai shook his head.
Wu Yi stared at him deeply, seemingly deliberately or not, and said, “If that person is willing to reveal his identity, I will definitely thank him well.”
Yang Kai sat upright in his original position, with his eyes looking at his nose and his nose looking at his heart, like an old monk in meditation, with a calm expression on his face.
After a long while, Wu Yi sighed and said, “There’s only one more month until we can return to You’an Star. You have a good rest. I see that you haven’t fully recovered during this period of time. Did you hurt your foundation? Later, I’ll ask someone to send you some pills and Saint Crystals.”
Yang Kai nodded. He didn’t decline either.
Shortly after Wu Yi left, a martial artist brought ten high-grade Saint Crystals and several high-grade Saint Pills over, saying that the young miss wanted to send them over and asked Yang Kai to recover well before returning to You’an Star.
Yang Kai thanked him and took them.
Looking at the ten Saint Crystals and several high-grade Saint Pills that he usually didn’t take a fancy to, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
Last time, Wu Yi robbed him of five hundred high-grade Saint Crystals. But as far as Yang Kai knew, those high-grade Saint Crystals weren’t swallowed by Wu Yi alone. Instead, she took them out and distributed all the Saint Crystals to her subordinates.
Although each person didn’t get much, they were all beaming with joy.
Yang Kai immediately knew that the lives of these people were actually not rich.
Now that Wu Yi had someone send ten Saint Crystals over, it was enough to show her kindness.
The days passed uneventfully. Yang Kai had been recovering in the room, storing his Saint Yuan, and would also come out for a walk from time to time. Although this small battleship was not of high grade and it was obvious that it was something with some age, it was well maintained by Wu Yi’s subordinates. The floor inside the battleship was cleaned spotless, and those windows were wiped by someone every day. The degree to which they cherished this battleship was far greater than their own lives.
Yang Kai was not one of Wu Yi’s people, so he couldn’t go to some confidential locations on the battleship such as the power room. Besides these places, he could move around freely. The warriors also gradually got familiar with Yang Kai, this outsider. Some curious ones even inquired about the outside situation with him, and everyone got along happily.
As time passed, the battleship was getting closer and closer to You’an Star, and the moods of dozens of warriors became inexplicably high.
They risked their lives, went to the mining star to mine, and went through hardships along the way. Now that they were about to return with a full load, they were naturally beaming with joy.
Even Wu Yi was infected by this festivity and didn’t come to Yang Kai’s place for a few days.
Finally, the huge You’an Star appeared in everyone’s field of vision. In the battleship, there was suddenly a sound of shouting and yelling.
Yang Kai, who was meditating and recovering in the room, was alerted and also walked outside, looking out through the window of the corridor.
In his field of vision appeared an unimaginably huge star. Yang Kai was slightly moved and said, “So big?”
You’an Star was incredibly huge. Yang Kai had also wandered in the star field for a few years and seen many cultivation stars, but none of them could be as magnificent as You’an Star. It was more than ten times larger than the Shuiyue Star of the Hengluo Chamber of Commerce, like a huge monster lying across the starry sky.
At a distant position, there is an even larger sun star, emitting scorching light and enveloping the Dark Star.
And near the Dark Star, there are even seven or eight moon stars constantly rotating around it, each moon star being the size of Rainfall Star.
“I heard that the Dark Star is the largest cultivation star in the star field. Is it true?” Wu Yi didn’t know when she stood beside Yang Kai and was very satisfied with his surprised expression.
No matter how much she wanted to leave the Dark Star and go outside to broaden her horizons, this cultivation star was her homeland after all, and she felt proud of the vastness of her homeland.
“I don’t know if it’s true, but I’m afraid it’s very difficult to find another cultivation star that can compare with the Dark Star.” Yang Kai replied seriously.
“Actually, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on the Dark Star is not bad, but it’s just too big, so compared with other cultivation stars, it seems a little thin.” Wu Yi said youyou, “And I heard that a long time ago there were also many cultivation stars in our area. At that time, we hadn’t lost contact with the outside world yet. But for some reason, some changes occurred in this starry sky. Some smaller cultivation stars all disappeared, leaving only the largest Dark Star. The various crises in the star road, the shortage of supplies, especially the lack of Saint Crystals, make it impossible for us to recreate the glory of the past. Even the communication with the outside world has been cut off. Unless people from the outside come here, few people on the Dark Star will go outside.”
She chattered on and on, and Yang Kai didn’t interrupt, just listened quietly.
Suddenly, Wu Yi changed the subject, and a confident smile filled her face: “My wish is to reconnect You’an Star with the outside world, so that our people can go outside whenever they want and never worry about the lack of Saint Crystals again.”
Yang Kai turned his head and looked at her, and gave a thumbs up.
People with ideals are all worthy of respect. Compared with Wu Yi, he didn’t seem to have any great ideas at the moment, only thinking about getting stronger quickly.
“My family is not strong, and I have no way to make my family support these. Yang Kai, help me.”
Yang Kai, who was looking at Wu Yi approvingly, was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: “The last sentence is your purpose, right?”
Wu Yi stuck out her pink tongue, which was a tacit admission.
Yang Kai couldn’t help but laugh, thinking to himself that no wonder Wu Yi seemed a bit sentimental today. It turned out that she was eyeing him. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, “I’m just a Martial Artist at the Third-Order Saint Realm. What can I do to help you?”
“I don’t know what you can do to help me, but at the very least, you came from the outside. You know about the outside world. You know which force we can cooperate with. These are all things I don’t understand. I lack someone like you by my side. It doesn’t matter if your strength is a little lower.” She looked at Yang Kai with a sincere gaze.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows. He had a good impression of this woman. She looked gentle and weak on the outside, but in fact, she was very strong inside and had the belief to pursue her ideals. However, he really didn’t want to get involved in other people’s affairs. For the Dark Star, he was just a passerby, and maybe he would leave soon.
Blindly agreeing to others was an irresponsible manifestation, but looking at her clear eyes, Yang Kai couldn’t bear to disappoint her.
After pondering for a long time, he said, “I heard you say before that your family is an outer family attached to a force called the Shadow Moon Palace, right?”
“Yes, the Shadow Moon Palace is one of the largest forces on the Dark Star. Our Heike Family is attached to the Shadow Moon Palace. There are many, many families like ours on the Dark Star. Without attaching to a big force, it is simply impossible to survive.
“I understand.” Yang Kai nodded slightly. Such a thing was also common on the Tongxuan Continent. However, the Heike Family where Wu Yi was located was an outer family. Presumably, their status was very low and the family should not be powerful either.
“Who is the strongest in your family?” Yang Kai asked again.
Although she didn’t understand what he wanted to do, Wu Yi still pointed to the side and said, “The offering Chang Qi is one of the strongest.”
Yang Kai was stunned: “There isn’t even a Void Return Stage?”
Wu Yi couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him and said, “Do you think there are a lot of Void Return Stages? Are you going to help me or not?”
Yang Kai gave a wry smile: “Your wish seems very distant. It’s impossible to achieve such an ideal without powerful subordinates by your side. Well, you should first become the head of your own family, and then I’ll think about it.”
“Think about it?” Wu Yi was so angry that her body trembled like a flower branch. She had sincerely invited him, but I never expected that Yang Kai was actually so perfunctory. Grinding her silver teeth, she would rather bite off a piece of flesh from his back.
“Alright, when you truly take control of your family, and if you still have such great ambitions at that time, I’ll help you!” Yang Kai looked at her with burning eyes.
“It’s a deal!” Wu Yi immediately broke into a smile and extended a fair little hand towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai helplessly shook his head and lightly clapped hands with her three times as an agreement.
“You wait. It won’t take more than two or three years for me to become the person in charge of the clan.” Wu Yi was full of confidence.
Seeing her like this, Yang Kai really couldn’t bear to tell her that when she became the person in charge of a family and considered issues from that height, she would find that her thoughts at that time would be somewhat different from her current thoughts.
Currently, she is simply pursuing her own dream without any fear or scruples. But in the future, she will have to consider the livelihood of the entire family, and all kinds of restrictions will further tighten her wings.
Time will wear down a person’s sharpness well and make a passionate person become sophisticated and worldly.
