After Su Er left, Su Ze walked back to the woman and grinned viciously. “You heard everything just now, didn’t you?”
“Compared to the Xia family, you should count yourself lucky!”
“At least you and your husband are still alive and well, aren’t you?”
“So you’d better behave and serve this young master properly. If you keep me happy and comfortable, there’ll be plenty of rewards for you later!”
His words left the woman silent. She lay on the floor, not daring to move.
“Come to think of it, this young master really ought to thank you properly. If it weren’t for you easing my boredom, I’d have died of tedium on this vast ocean!”
As he spoke, Su Ze crouched down and reached straight for the woman’s robe.
The woman panicked and instinctively shuffled backwards, but the next moment her snow-white ankle was seized by Su Ze.
“Get over here!”
Su Ze laughed loudly and yanked hard. The woman was dragged straight beneath him.
Just as Su Ze was laughing and about to strip off her clothes, a grey-robed youth hurried over.
“Young Master, we spotted a small boat on the sea!”
“A small boat?”
Su Ze paused slightly, then ripped off the woman’s skirt beneath him and grinned. “Who’s in it?”
“Venerate Su scanned it with his divine sense. He says there are three ordinary people, two men and one woman. They look as though they lost their way at sea,” the youth replied.
“You’re bothering me with something this trivial?”
“I thought it might be that Xia An bitch!”
Su Ze frowned in annoyance. The youth immediately looked terrified and explained, “The small boat is heading straight for us, so I wanted to ask how Young Master wishes to handle it.”
“Do I need to teach you how to handle something like this?”
“Get lost and don’t ruin my fun!”
Su Ze cursed, but then something seemed to occur to him. He suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
“You said there’s a woman on that boat?”
“Er… yes, Young Master!”
“Is she good-looking?”
Su Ze gave a sleazy chuckle and stopped what his hands were doing.
“We haven’t seen clearly yet. I’ll bring them aboard and take a look. If the woman is attractive, I’ll send her straight to you!” The grey-robed youth instantly understood.
“You’re quick on the uptake. Once this mission is over, I’ll ask the family to reward you with a high-grade magical artefact!”
Su Ze smiled in satisfaction, then waved his hand. “Go! Bring those three to me right away.”
“Yes, sir!”
The grey-robed youth bowed and left. Moments later, the woman’s screams rang out behind him.
The youth paid no attention, as though he were long accustomed to such scenes.
The three people in the small boat were, of course, Mo Fan and his companions.
Both Mo Fan and Xiao Huang had concealed their cultivation with breath-restraint arts, so there was no fear of being discovered.
The reason they were deliberately approaching the large ship was that Mo Fan wanted to question the humans on board about this area.
According to the sea chart given by the Golden-Winged Demon King, they had not yet reached the Divine Domain but were near the waters around the Three Saints Island. That was why Mo Fan planned to gather information about the island.
Mo Fan held no fondness for Three Saints Island. Both the Wang family and the Su family counted as his enemies, even if they were not enemies now, they would be in future.
If he could learn something about these two families in advance, that would naturally be ideal.
However, before they fully approached the large ship, a powerful divine sense swept over them. Mo Fan’s eyes narrowed.
A Core Formation cultivator!
Once the divine sense passed, Xiao Huang’s expression also grew serious. He looked at Mo Fan. “Great King, there are human cultivators on that ship.”
“No matter. Cultivators are even better. That will save this king a lot of effort.”
Mo Fan smiled. He had come precisely to gather information. The presence of cultivators was perfect.
After all, cultivators would know far more than ordinary mortals.
Soon afterwards, the small boat reached the side of the large ship.
“Who are you people?”
At that moment, two grey-robed men appeared at the rail, staring indifferently down at the three in the boat.
“Brothers, we’re sea merchants. Our ship was wrecked in a storm. The three of us barely escaped on this little boat. I don’t even know how many days we’ve been drifting,” Mo Fan said with a wry smile.
The two men exchanged a glance. One of them spoke. “So that’s how it is. Come aboard, then! Meeting us makes you very lucky.”
“Thank you, brothers!”
“But do you have a rope?”
“Your ship is so tall. Without a rope we can’t climb up.”
Mo Fan put on a troubled look and gestured anxiously from below.
The youth’s eyes flickered. His expression visibly relaxed. He smacked his forehead and laughed. “Look at me, telling you to come up and forgetting you’re just mortals.”
“No need for a rope. I’ll bring you aboard!”
With that, he formed a hand seal. Immense spiritual power surged out and directly wrapped around Mo Fan and the others, easily lifting them onto the deck.
The three let out startled cries. Once they were steady, they looked shocked and exclaimed, “You’re immortals?”
“Immortals?”
The two youths showed a trace of pride at the words, but the other one waved a hand and sneered. “What kind of immortals are we? We’re merely cultivators who have learned the arts of cultivation.”
“Come with me.”
“Our Young Master wishes to see you.”
With that, the cultivator turned and led the way.
Mo Fan’s eyes flashed. He asked, “May I ask who your Young Master is? And why does he want to see us?”
“Our Young Master is the young lord of the Su family. As for why he wants to see you…”
The cultivator paused, turned back, and swept his gaze over the three of them. His eyes finally settled on Yu Nian with a flash of amazement. He grinned widely. “You’ll find out very soon!”
“Thank you for the trouble.”
Mo Fan nodded and followed.
Xiao Huang and Yu Nian silently brought up the rear.
They both knew Mo Fan’s true power. He was a real great demon, so there was nothing to worry about…
