The Night King: The Asura
Ch-172's chat. Towards the South
Her night.
About a hundred men had gathered in Qiao Chen's courtyard, and all of them were the crew members who had once accompanied Lin Feng to the Land of the Five Continents.
Although their task had been completed and Lin Feng had never again come there, but the fraternity formed by Lin Feng still persisted until now, even they referred to themselves as the Lin fraternity group.
"Friends all, today we gather to greet Mr. Lin's son, and just as we respect Mr. Lin, we must also honor his son!" qiao Chen.
"Sincerely, Young Master!"
Again, Xie Long felt very awkward faced with the situation as it is now, it is not wrong if they respect him, but he felt he did not deserve it.
"Everyone, please don't be like this, I really don't deserve your respect yet" said Xie Long.
"What do you say, Young Master? We have already devoted ourselves to Mr. Lin, so there is no reason for us to disrespect the Young Master" said one of them.
"I know it, but..."
"It's Long'er, let us show you our respect, because you deserve it!" qiao Chen.
"Hah" Xie Long let out a long sigh, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore."
After that, the welcoming party for Xie Long's arrival began, even though it was just a meal and drink together, but Xie Long felt very happy to get such a welcome.
"Long'er, what brings you to this small town?" ask Qiao Chen.
"Actually, I didn't think there was a city here, because my true destination was the Southern region" Xie Long replied.
"South, huh? To get there, you need a ship" said Qiao Chen.
"But you take it easy, because we'll take you there" he continued, then stood up from his seat.
"Friends, Young Master wants to go to the South, that is, it is our duty to bring him there, are you ready?!"
"Of course, captain!" answer everyone in unison.
Xie Long then stood up from his seat, "Thank you, everyone and sorry for bothering you" he said.
"Here you go, don't think too much" said Qiao Chen, "So when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow, can it?"
"Of course you can, Young Master!" says everyone.
***
Tomorrow.
Xie Long who had been getting ready then set off towards the harbor with Qiao Chen, but upon arriving at the same time, Xie Long was made to be amazed to see the large ship that he would use to go to the South.
Not only is the ship huge and looks incredible, it is also the strongest ship ever built in the city of Yumin, even today, no one has been able to defeat the toughness and resilience of the ship.
There were three reasons that made the ship invincible, firstly because the wood used to make it was the best wood, secondly because what made it was the highly trusted experts, and lastly, the last one, because the ship had an impenetrable defensive shield.
Originally it was just an ordinary ship, but after Lin Feng put up a defensive shield while on his way to the Land of the Five Continents, it became the greatest ship ever, because the shield created by Lin Feng was still active to this day.
"Long'er, let's go up, everyone is already waiting for us there" Qiao Chen asked.
Xie Long nodded, then followed Qiao Chen up onto the ship. Then, the two of them headed to where the rudder of the ship was.
At the same time, the people who saw it flocked to the port, because after a long time anchored, the extraordinary ship was finally sailing too.
"Uncle, why are they looking here?"
"Haha! This ship is the most famous ship in the city of Yumin, so it is only natural that they all want to watch it sail" Qiao Chen replied.
"Okay, captain!" said the entire crew, then run the orders of Qiao Chen who is the captain of the ship.
Xie Long began to feel the wind as the ship began to move away from the harbor, he then jumped up and climbed onto the highest mast of the sail.
"This is so awesome!" he said while stretching out his hands.
The vast expanse of the sea, the blue sky that stretched along the eye of the gaze, the sound of the roar of the waves accompanied by the exposure of the cool breeze, made Xie Long feel a sensation that he had never felt before.
"Sometimes, I have to bring them here" he murmured as he recalled his two younger siblings.
***
Time passed so quickly, it did not feel the sun was almost sinking and Xie Long was still faithful at the top of the sail pole, the atmosphere that began to calm and orange color that appeared in the sky and sea made him feel a different feeling.
Incredibly, those were the only two words that Xie Long could say to describe the beautiful scenery that he was witnessing right now. He also felt a calmness that made him able to forget all the problems that had happened to him.
"Long'er, down! Aren't you hungry?"
Qiao Chen's voice resuscitated Xie Long who was busy admiring the beauty before his eyes, "Okay, uncle!" he said, then jumped down.
"Look, we've prepared a special dish for you, and I'm sure you've never tasted it."
"Uncle's right! I have never tasted fish caught directly from the sea" said Xie Long.
Then, Qiao Chen gathered the entire crew to eat together. After the meal together was over, they then continued by drinking wine together.
But unfortunately, Xie Long still can not taste the drink, because in addition to his very young age, he was also afraid of being scolded by his mother if caught tasting the drink, he was also afraid of being scolded by his mother if he was caught, his grandfather strictly forbade him to drink the drink.
"Long'er, wait until you reach adulthood, after that, uncle will give you the best wine ever" said Qiao Chen.
Xie Long simply shook his head while smiling gently, "It seems like I will never be able to taste it, uncle."
"Why? Did Mr Lin forbid you?"
Xie Long nodded, "It's not really dad, but it's mom and grandpa who forbid me to touch this drink" he replied.
"really so? But good, because drinking too much wine is also not good for cultivators like you" said Qiao Chen.
"But, do you know that your father was a very good person at drinking wine?"
"I mean uncle?"
Qiao Chen then told the story as they were on their way to the Land of the Five Continents, back then, Lin Feng looked extremely sad at the thought of his young children.
Having no heart, Qiao Chen and the crew tried to comfort him by inviting him to drink wine, so that Lin Feng could forget his sadness.
However, none of them thought that Lin Feng was not drunk in the least, even though the wine he drank was so much, even Qiao Chen and the crew were unable to accompany him to drink, because they were all so drunk.
"So, if one day your father gets angry because you drink too much, you can use this story as a shield" said Qiao Chen.
"Uncle, you better stop drinking" said Xie Long.
"Why?"
"Because uncle is drunk."
"Hahahaha, drunk? W-what are you saying, I-I'm still not drunk" Qiao Chen said.
Xie Long could only shake his head, when it was obvious that his uncle had started to get drunk from drinking too much, but he denied it.
As with Qiao Chen, the crew had also started to get drunk, and many had even collapsed unconscious, but those who are still conscious still drink wine in the cup in his hand.
"Maybe this is the reason why my mother and grandfather forbid me to drink wine" Xie Long murmured.
