#429 - I will go to Wuguo to find you

Ao Yin'er blinked her eyes as she looked at Xu Ming.

This was the first time Ao Yin'er had heard that she was some kind of Sea Spirit Body.

Her brother and father had never mentioned it to her before.

If it were anyone else, Ao Yin'er would have thought they were just talking nonsense.

But the person was Xu Ming.

If it weren't for Xu Ming, not to mention her brother, even she would have died in the North Sea.

Moreover, there was no need for him to lie to her; what good would it do him to deceive her?

At this moment, Ao Yin'er finally understood why she couldn't go to the mainland; it turned out it was for this reason.

"Did my brother tell you about this, Xu Ming?" Ao Yin'er asked again.

Xu Ming nodded: "Yes, your brother told me.

Originally, your father and brother wanted you to cultivate diligently, and after you seized the Dragon King Throne, you could even enter the Ascension Realm.

At that time, you would be able to stand up to the North Sea Dragon Queen.

But now, there is no need for that.

Your brother told me that it would be best to break your Sea Spirit Body.

Your Sea Spirit Body will definitely be coveted by others, and the East Sea is now in such chaos.

Without the protection of the East Sea, I'm afraid many people will take the risk."

“. . . ”

Ao Yin'er lowered her head and fell into silence.

"Of course, whether you need this Sea Spirit Body or not, it all depends on your own thoughts," Xu Ming added finally, then stopped talking and waited for Ao Yin'er's answer.

Xu Ming would not forcibly take Ao Yin'er to the mainland and break her Sea Spirit Body.

This kind of thing concerns her own Great Dao and should be decided by herself.

No one, not even her father and brother, can make the decision for her.

After considering for a long time, Ao Yin'er raised her head and looked at Xu Ming somewhat nervously: "Xu Ming, what is your opinion?

Should I keep this Sea Spirit Body?"

Xu Ming shook his head: "I have no opinion.

I also have no way to make a decision for you, but I can give you some advice.

If Miss Ao wants to live a carefree life and has no pursuit of the Great Dao, then I advise you to go to the mainland with me.

In this way, your Sea Spirit Body will be broken, and others will not come looking for trouble.

If you come to the Wu Kingdom with me, then you should not be in any danger.

Although our strength is a little weaker than the North Sea, it is definitely no problem to protect you.

But if Miss Ao has a need for the Sea Spirit Body and wants to ascend to a higher Great Dao, then stay in the North Sea.

It all depends on Miss Ao's choice.

The Dragon Queen will protect Miss Ao, but not all the time, especially after Miss Ao leaves the North Sea, you will have to rely entirely on yourself.

No one will be able to help Miss Ao."

"I understand…"

Ao Yin'er nodded, her eyes looking much firmer than before.

"Xu Ming, I have decided to continue staying here.

I want to cultivate diligently.

I want to avenge my father and help my brother.

I have always been protected by others, and I can only hide behind when something happens.

I don't want to be like this anymore.

Moreover, I owe you a great favor.

You saved my brother's and my lives.

With my current realm, I cannot repay this favor, and I don't want to continue like this."

Xu Ming nodded: "Since you have made a decision, then I will say nothing more."

Xu Ming stepped forward and handed Ao Yin'er a jade pendant symbolizing his identity: "Miss Ao, whenever you want to come to the mainland, you can always come to the Wu Kingdom to find me."

Ao Yin'er stretched out her white and tender hand to receive it: "Xu Ming, are you leaving too?"

"Yes, I was originally an envoy.

After the Four Seas Ceremony, I should have returned to the Wu Kingdom to report back long ago.

Now I have delayed for many days, and it is time to go back," Xu Ming replied.

"I will leave here later."

Ao Yin'er: “…”

"Miss Ao, please take care of yourself in the North Sea.

If you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask the Dragon Queen.

In fact, I feel that Your Majesty likes Miss Ao very much.

Even if I didn't plead with Your Majesty, I guess Your Majesty wouldn't have killed you in the end."

Ao Yin'er looked at the man in front of her and nodded: "You too, take care and be careful on the road."

"Thank you for your concern," Xu Ming cupped his fist in salute.

"Farewell."

Xu Ming walked out of the courtyard, and Ao Yin'er watched Xu Ming's gradually receding figure.

After Xu Ming left, there would really be no one she knew in this North Sea.

"Xu Ming…"

Just as Xu Ming was about to disappear from Ao Yin'er's sight, Ao Yin'er called out.

Xu Ming turned around and looked at the graceful girl in the courtyard.

The girl gently bit her thin lips: "Xu Ming, I will definitely go to the Wu Kingdom to find you."

Xu Ming smiled and nodded: "If the lady comes, Ming will definitely treat the lady well."

Xu Ming gradually walked away, and Ao Yin'er took a step forward, seemingly wanting to follow, but finally stopped.

The girl's hand tightly held the warm jade pendant.

After Xu Ming left Ao Yin'er's courtyard, he went straight outside the imperial capital.

Xu Ming didn't tell the Dragon Queen about his departure.

He planned to leave directly, which was to say goodbye without saying goodbye.

Actually, it's not really a farewell without saying goodbye.

Because Xu Ming believed that his every word and deed were under the Dragon Queen's surveillance.

If the Dragon Queen didn't want him to leave, the Dragon Queen wouldn't let him out of the imperial capital.

Even his conversation with Ao Yin'er was probably heard clearly by the Dragon Queen.

Sure enough, Xu Ming smoothly left the imperial capital without anyone stopping him.

This also meant that the Dragon Queen had acquiesced to his departure.

However, at the city gate, a woman in palace attire stood with her hands folded in front of her, looking at Xu Ming with a smile.

"Greetings, Miss Xiazhu," Xu Ming cupped his fist in salute.

Xu Ming knew this woman.

This woman was also one of the Dragon Queen's personal maids, and her realm was higher than Xiao Lan's.

Such an immortal realm woman willingly serving as the Dragon Queen's personal maid showed how great the Dragon Queen's charm was.

"You are too polite, Young Master."

Xiazhu bowed in return, then took out a pot of wine and a cup from her storage bag.

"The Young Master is leaving, and Her Majesty specially asked this servant to come here to see the Young Master off, and also to have this servant convey a message to the Young Master."

[I have just discovered something, that is, Chapter 423 has been censored.

I only rode a bicycle for a while, but I didn't expect it to be checked.

Alas.

It's too troublesome to modify, let's wait until the weekend, and then modify Chapter 423 to see if it can be released.]
