CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 314: STRANGE RELATIONSHIP

Duan Yiren’s corpse quickly fell lifelessly to the ground, eyes wide open to the sky, her pretty face still carrying a look of bewilderment before death.

Toy soldiers rushed in to carry her body away, cleaning the bloodstains on the ground.

"Having the Dream Maker’s help is truly convenient, at least there’s no shortage of free labor."

Baiyu remarked.

"The castle has the Magic Elixir Recipes from Painter Sequence Nine to Sequence Four. If your dream is to become a great artist, you can gather materials and mix them yourself."

Cai spoke without the courtesy she had earlier, lifting her little skirt and sitting unceremoniously in her seat.

Completely disregarding the image of a lady.

"You know I’m already an Extraordinary."

Baiyu waved his hand helplessly.

"That’s a real pity. But this woman dying like this, it’s a real bargain for her. She even thought of making me risk my life for her.

I had said to just kill her directly before, but you insisted on observing her first.

Old Bai.

It’s not me saying this.

A man should be a bit ruthless."

Cai acted in an old-fashioned manner, swinging her golden ponytail, looking somewhat mismatched.

Of course.

Duan Yiren did not know the relationship between these two, nor Cai’s thoughts.

Originally, Baiyu and the little girl had no relation.

After all.

The two were not from the same era, naturally making any intersection impossible.

But many things in this world cannot be judged by common sense.

Previously.

Every time Baiyu overlapped with the little girl’s silhouette, it was like experiencing her life as a bystander, though those silhouettes were actually the manifestation of her spirit.

So Baiyu, to be precise, left his mark in each segment of the girl’s spiritual memories.

Of course.

Those manifested silhouettes were just a part of the little girl’s memories, extremely profound moments.

But later, when blood activated the Crystal Stone.

Baiyu almost watched a silent movie, viewing the girl’s entire life, leaving an indelible deep mark in her memories.

During this process, the little girl also felt Baiyu’s thoughts and spirit.

The two instantly transitioned from strangers to lifelong close friends.

Knowing each other inside out.

Even the closest family could not have such a level of mutual understanding.

This story sounds quite ludicrous.

However.

If slightly embellished.

A poor, helpless girl, rescued in her direst moment, forming a strange bond with her savior, sounds entirely normal.

After all, childhood companions growing up together forming peculiar bonds is a common thing.

And now.

This is assuredly a divine childhood attachment descending from heaven.

Cai didn’t want others to know about the situation within the Ancient Castle, hence proposing to silence people, but Baiyu thought Duan Yiren should be given a chance.

After all, she was someone handed over by the Third Prince himself.

Her death would inevitably cause trouble.

But judging by her last words, even Jesus couldn’t save her...

"What do you plan to do next?"

Looking at the bloodstains wiped clean from the ground, Baiyu asked.

Revived, yet family and friends have long vanished, appearing as though she abruptly materialized in the world, without any goals.

Unable to leave the Legendary Ship.

Wishing to go elsewhere, she must move with the colorful Cai together.

"I don’t know, my father is already dead. A normal Extraordinary, if not ascending, would at most live a few hundred years. He was nearly three hundred when performing the spirit division surgery on me..."

Cai stated without any emotion.

Three hundred years old... truly an old father, Baiyu mused silently.

"Now, I think I would like to visit the Spirit Realm. The Spirit Realm is immensely vast, and no one has ever glimpsed its entirety. Having become the Ship Spirit of the Legendary Ship, I’ll never be able to stray far from the ship.

Navigating the Spirit Realm aboard the Legendary Ship, it’s a life I could never have dreamed of."

Cai smiled.

Baiyu perceived her inner confusion.

But having a plan was good; it was not his place to interfere anyway.

"The Spirit Realm has many dangers and is teeming with different races, you better be careful."

Baiyu pondered, "If there is anything you need help with, you can reach out to me. Though, you probably won’t need help."

"Haha, that can’t be taken for granted.

Despite seeming powerful now, away from the Legendary Ship, I’m nothing...

Oh right.

Does human society still uphold the Seven Gods now?"

The reference was to the Seven Gods Church.

Baiyu nodded, "It’s like that, in my East Prosperity Imperial, there are only the Steam and Mechanical Church and the Holy Light Church, these two are the belief of most ordinary people in East Prosperity."

"I see, then I still advise you not to believe in any deity."

"Why?"

"It makes it hard for people to reach the end, that’s my father’s original words. He was a follower of the Goddess of Harvest, and it greatly affected his later ascension."

Cai’s eyes sparkled with recollection.

Baiyu was taken aback.

His Extraordinary Sequence is Prayer Technique Apprentice, not relying on any church to obtain subsequent Extraordinary Magic Elixirs.

Because he still doesn’t know what Sequence Eight in his sequence is exactly.

As for relying on the abilities of a Prayer Technique Apprentice to deceive false believers in a Divine Spirit, that shouldn’t count as belief, right?

He’s a staunch non-believer.

Thinking of this, Baiyu asked naturally, "Do you know which sequence ’Prayer Technique Apprentice’ belongs to?"

"Prayer Technique Apprentice? Is it a new Magic Elixir Sequence?"

"Alright, forget I said anything."

Baiyu resignedly.

It seems the Prayer Technique Apprentice can only be obtained via academic space, with no alternative methods.

"I gave you the Longevity Pill, it’s an item where after consuming one, there is one less. It can extend your lifespan by at most a hundred years."

Cai waved out, releasing nine large bottles of Medicinal Pills.

Baiyu naturally accepted without hesitation.

"By the way, don’t you really want the Dream Maker’s recipe?

Though it’s only from Sequence Nine to Sequence Four, it’s still quite valuable.

If you truly find the subsequent Magic Elixir Recipe, its value would multiply many times over in the future."

Cai curiously asked.

"Can it be sold?"

"Dispose of it as you like, just handle it carefully, because Magic Elixir Recipes are not things to be trifled with."

Cai stretched, her white silk-clad feet swinging on the bench: "Give me a way to contact you, and I’ll get in touch if I have the time."

The moment of farewell had arrived.

Cai thought for a while, then said to Baiyu, "Also, be cautious of your mutation condition. If you have time, study the issues within your body. You might be the only one who can control the mutation."

"Far from controlled, it simply hasn’t worsened further." Baiyu looked at his palms.

"Alright then, we share this plight. Just that I’m forced into this form by mutation, I hope you can control it."

Cai’s face showed a smile, "Now I’ll see you out, meet again if fate allows."
