Free Web NovelChapter 2060: Chapter 2060: Wang Qingxue’s Identity and Invitation! Still Refused! The Central Domain Arrives!
After finishing his conversation with Ming, Mu Jinyu thought about how he had slept for a day and had spent another two days repairing the God Slaying Cannon.
Remembering that Wang Qingxue had mentioned earlier how fast the Underworld Ghost Ship was, he estimated it would only take three to four more days to reach the Central Domain.
So, are they about to arrive at the Central Domain?
With this thought, Mu Jinyu couldn’t help but feel excited and then got up to put away the God Slaying Cannon, walking out of the dark cabin.
He walked onto the deck.
Mu Jinyu saw Wang Qingxue sitting on a deck chair, slightly closing her eyes, seemingly sunbathing and taking a nap.
However, in the Forbidden Dead Sea, there wasn’t much sunlight, so she couldn’t really sunbathe.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Qingxue, who had her eyes closed, enjoying the leisure and relaxation, suddenly reacted and opened her eyes.
She saw that it was indeed Mu Jinyu.
This made her face freeze, feeling slightly sheepish.
Luckily, she hadn’t just put on a swimsuit, or she would feel even more embarrassed.
"Jinyu, you’re awake?"
Not knowing how to greet him, Wang Qingxue said awkwardly.
Mu Jinyu nodded slightly, not criticizing her, and asked, "How much longer until we reach the Central Domain now?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingxue’s expression relaxed immediately, and she smiled, "Hmm, about two hours left, I think? Just wait a little longer, and we’ll be there!"
"Okay!" Mu Jinyu nodded gently upon hearing that, but did not return to the cabin to rest.
Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back on the deck, watching their Underworld Ghost Ship speeding through the Forbidden Dead Sea.
Seeing this, Wang Qingxue began trying to converse with him, asking, "Jinyu, you...what are you going to do in the Central Domain?"
Mu Jinyu glanced at her and casually replied, "Just going to explore, what else could I do?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Qingxue felt at a loss for words.
Her expression was somewhat awkward.
Then she thought for a moment, her brows furrowed and then relaxed before she spoke, "Actually, I’m not going to the Central Domain just for no reason..."
"Hmm?" Mu Jinyu listened to her words, feeling surprised, and looked at her a few times.
Wang Qingxue continued, "My mother was a pampered daughter of the Royal clan, and my father was a true genius of the Divine Race, so I can actually be considered part of the first generation of the Royal clan!"
"This time I’m going to the Central Domain, but it’s not really going; it’s more like returning to the Central Domain. I’ve always lived there, and I only left because I felt bored, moving to the Eastern Region!"
"But recently, I felt that the Eastern Region was dull as well, so I left there too and came back to the Central Domain, and then I ran into you and all this Underworld Ghost Sea stuff!"
After hearing Wang Qingxue’s brief explanation, Mu Jinyu understood her meaning.
She’s a rebellious girl who felt bored living in the Central Domain due to her special identity.
So she sneaked away from the Central Domain and went to the Eastern Region.
But in the Eastern Region, due to her not having high cultivation, she was often bullied, and thus she didn’t want to wander in the Eastern Region and decided to return to the Central Domain.
I remember when they were on that sea ship; Wang Qingxue co-organized a dinner with him, and that Chrono Light Realm elder didn’t let her sit at the table, at which point she expressed extreme anger.
From this, some insight can be gleaned.
Also, she easily produced many good things, even a Divine Crystal, of which she could take out nearly a pound.
The generosity of her actions had previously made Mu Jinyu speculate about her true identity.
Unexpectedly, she turned out to be a descendant of the Divine Race.
This answer was both within expectations and unexpected.
After all, logically speaking, the Divine Race doesn’t care much about offspring born from unions with the Human Race, seeing the humans merely as maids used for venting.
Otherwise, why do almost none of the Royal clan have relations with the Foreign Race? They can only bully by relying on their Foreign Race Bloodline.
But Wang Qingxue’s father was quite strange; he truly raised her as a daughter, letting her enjoy the treatment of a Divine Race Princess.
Mu Jinyu pondered for a moment, then asked Wang Qingxue, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"
Wang Qingxue replied earnestly, "I hope to earn your trust, so I have to be a bit more honest!"
"I don’t know if you have any plans in the Central Domain, but if you’re merely curious and want to take a look, I think you should come along with me!"
"With me guiding you, it would be safer here!"
Upon hearing Wang Qingxue’s words, Mu Jinyu felt that these words sounded familiar?
He then recalled the dinner, where those people had their eyes on his Source Stone and invited him to serve a powerful figure of the Immortal Clan in their Cave residence.
They also mentioned how rare the opportunity was, and if he could provide some Source Stone, they’d go through the back door to make him Herb Collecting Servant...
These words are nearly identical to those said by Wang Qingxue, aren’t they?
Could it be that this woman is also eyeing his God Slaying Cannon and Underworld Ghost Ship?
Mu Jinyu pondered this and directly asked, "Is it so good? If you want to do me this favor, surely it must come at some cost. Should I give you some compensation?"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Wang Qingxue, not detecting his sarcastic tone, shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, no, you’ve cared for me a lot along the way, and saved my life several times; why would I need compensation from you?"
"Consider this a bit of repayment for you..."
Listening to Wang Qingxue’s words, Mu Jinyu was taken aback, wondering if he had guessed wrongly?
Could it be that this girl really wasn’t like those people, with no intentions against him?
Or, she might not care for the compensation of the Source Stone, knowing he didn’t have any Source Stone left.
Besides, she backed by a powerful Divine Race member, even if she planned to seize his God Slaying Cannon and Underworld Ghost Ship, she wouldn’t say it outright.
Instead, she would claim not to need it and, once they arrived, force him to give it up—or risk losing even his life!
Mu Jinyu’s thoughts were spinning wildly.
Rationally, he didn’t consider Wang Qingxue as someone who’d repay kindness with betrayal.
But realistically, he knew sometimes events unfold uncontrollably.
He couldn’t take that risk.
If his strength were overwhelming enough to overlook the entire Canglan Realm, of course, he could act without fear.
But his power was far from reaching that level; caution was necessary.
Mu Jinyu shook his head, saying, "Forget it, I’m used to going wherever I please, better not accompany you..."
"Alright then..."
Seeing Mu Jinyu’s repeated refusals, Wang Qingxue, albeit slow to catch on, vaguely understood that Mu Jinyu had concerns.
She considered assuring him it would be alright but decided it wasn’t necessary.
"Ahh..."
Instantly, the atmosphere between them became cold and awkward.
Suddenly, Mu Jinyu gave a light hum and said, "It seems we’ve arrived?"
Wang Qingxue, upon hearing his words, quickly turned and lifted her gaze, seeing the horizon, faintly revealing a coastline.
Next came lush forests and green meadows...
The Central Domain was almost within reach.
