251: Yuan Tianyin's Request

“She’s missing?”

She murmured.

How strange!

Shen Mo and the others should have returned to the ship, but now they’ve suddenly disappeared?

Yuan Tianyin had originally thought that since Chief Steward Lute and his group were preparing to capture the people on the Black Sea, Shen Mo and the others were still on the Black Sea.

She could talk to Chief Steward Lute and his group, and they likely wouldn’t harm them.

However, before she could even speak to Chief Steward Lute and the others, Shen Mo had already vanished?

Is this person really that peculiar?

Yuan Tianyin’s heart was filled with doubt and strangeness.

It wasn’t that she valued Shen Mo, but his actions had always given her a very unique and peculiar feeling.

This feeling… was very novel.

He was just a Wood Slave, yet in front of her and her uncle, he didn’t seem to show much fear.

Moreover, his act of delivering a message to Yuan Tianyin this time greatly exceeded her expectations.

She hadn’t even thought… that Shen Mo would be able to save her in such a unique and perfect way.

Thinking of him calling Yuan Feng “Uncle” repeatedly, Yuan Tianyin felt even more speechless.

For some reason, there was also a peculiar feeling in her heart.

“Then, thank you, Chief Steward Lute.”

Yuan Tianyin politely thanked Lute for his answer: “On the Black Sea, there is a friend I once met who helped me a great deal. If Chief Steward Lute sees him, please take care of him for me and don’t make things difficult for him.”

Yuan Tianyin didn’t mention that Shen Mo had saved her; he was just a Wood Slave, and drawing too much attention from Chief Steward Lute and his group wouldn’t be good.

Among the Ten Thousand Clans Starry Sky, the weaker races often find themselves in difficult situations.

It wasn't that Yuan Tianyin didn't want to improve Shen Mo’s status and situation.

However, given her status, if she were to reveal that Shen Mo was her savior, his identity as a Wood Slave would inevitably attract more attention.

Many people would want to approach her through his identity, which she was unwilling to allow.

Moreover, it would also bring trouble to Shen Mo.

The status of a Wood Slave… was simply too low.

Alas, only those extremely weak people who are completely unable to ensure the safety of their own race would become slaves to others.

And for Shen Mo to be a slave to that Wanmu Clan member and still be able to use the other party's power to break through his own realm.

This was already one of the better types of slavery.

The two sides grew together.

Generally speaking, people of the Wanmu Clan rarely cultivate Wood Slaves.

Because cultivating Wood Slaves requires consuming their own source power.

The blade of grass on Shen Mo’s head is proof.

It was cultivated by the Wanmu Clan; as long as that blade of grass is there, Shen Mo can use a portion of the Wanmu Clan's abilities, and at the same time, his power will be shared with the Wanmu Clan.

Yuan Tianyin heard Yuan Feng say that he originally wanted to release Shen Mo from that Ten Thousand Wood contract, but it seemed Shen Mo was unwilling, still cherishing the old affection with that Wanmu Clan member.

And when the latter fled, he also took Shen Mo with him, clearly showing that the bond between master and servant was very deep.

Yuan Feng also found out that the Wanmu Clan member was very likely Yin Wood, who had “died” within the Wanmu Clan.

This news greatly startled Yuan Tianyin.

Because the internal movements of the Wanmu Clan, as well as the actions of the Frenzied Shark Clan and the Water Crocodile Clan, were very frequent, and the surrounding races were all aware of them.

The Yin Feng Clan also knew some things.

However, considering the intentions of the Wanmu Clan, the Frenzied Shark Clan, and the Water Crocodile Clan, there wasn't much appeal, at least not for the Yin Feng Clan.

Therefore, not many people went looking for trouble with them.

But if Shen Mo’s master was “Yin Wood,” then it would be somewhat troublesome.

Recently, the Wanmu Clan has been causing a stir, and their relationship with the Frenzied Shark Clan and the Water Crocodile Clan has become very strained.

If at this time, it were known that Yin Wood was still alive and not dead, it would likely cause no small amount of trouble.

Thinking this, the moment Yuan Tianyin learned of the matter, she had already instructed Yuan Feng to seal and erase this information.

And when Yuan Tianyin’s words rang out, Lute nodded slightly and said, “Miss Tianyin, rest assured, we will take good care of your friend.”

“What is its name?”

“We will pay attention to his presence.”

As he spoke, Yuan Tianyin nodded and said, “His name is Shen Mo, and he is a Wood Slave of a Wanmu Clan member.”

“He helped me a lot on the Black Sea before.”

“He and his master were also captured by the Black Sea.”

“When I was on the Black Sea, I relied on his care.”

“Thank you, Chief Steward Lute.”

Yuan Tianyin did not directly state Shen Mo’s involvement, but Chief Steward Lute and the others could guess and fill in the blanks themselves.

Thinking that Yuan Tianyin, this favored daughter of heaven, was captured and brought onto the ship, the Star Sea pirates certainly wouldn’t know how to properly care for them.

Perhaps she suffered a lot of grievances inside, and that Wood Slave named Shen Mo must have done many things for them, such as serving tea and water, and providing thorough care.

As everyone thought this, Lute immediately nodded in agreement.

This was just a small matter.

As for whether a small Wood Slave was worth such treatment…

This was Yuan Tianyin’s request, so it was worth it.

At this moment, Shen Mo was no longer just a small Wood Slave, but Yuan Tianyin’s friend, their guest!

— — — —

While the group was talking, on the other side, the Black Sea, where Shen Mo and the others were, was rapidly heading towards the Meteor Crater.

That was a no-man’s-land in a chaotic Starfield.

In fact, in this Ten Thousand Clans Starry Sky, most Starfields, except for the very center where there are rulers and powerful races, are basically no-man’s-lands.

Because those races of the Ten Thousand Clans roam everywhere.

They don’t care who governs this place; as long as no one gets caught causing trouble, they act without restraint.

It can be said that the order of the Ten Thousand Clans Starry Sky is still in a primitive state, which is also why Yuan Tianyin was kidnapped by the Black Sea Star Pirate Group.

Those desperadoes don't care about a favored daughter of heaven; as long as they can increase their strength, they dare to take risks.

And the place Yuan Tianyin had passed through before was not a central city of the Xing Hong Domain, thus giving the other party an opportunity.

Of course, there were naturally other reasons involved.

Otherwise, how could Yuan Tianyin, a top princess of the Yin Feng Clan, go to that small city?

And as Shen Mo’s ship sped towards the Meteor Crater.

On the other side, in a city in the central region of the Xing Hong Domain, Feng Linghuang appeared at its edge.

She flashed into this Starfield City, covered in dust, clearly having just completed a long journey through the starry sky.

Feng Linghuang was different from Shen Mo; she hadn’t encountered a giant starship like the Black Sea, and in fact, even if she had, she wouldn’t have boarded it.

Feng Linghuang was very cautious in the starry sky.

She knew the dangers of the Ten Thousand Clans Starry Sky, so she was very careful when traveling through space.

And the moment her figure entered this Starfield City, someone immediately noticed her.
