48: Chapter 48 Wanhua Island
A flying vessel streaked across the vast ocean.
Because there were too many people, Yuan Ji brought out a flying Spiritual Artifact.
The flying vessel was quite massive.
It had at least twenty or thirty rooms.
Standing in the cabin, Yuan Chen thought that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely have to get one himself.
And it would have to be dozens of times larger than this one.
Beside him, Luo Xinyi also came out, with a Little Purple Sable perched on her shoulder.
The Little Purple Sable was now over eight months old.
Given its intelligence, it was almost ready to take human form.
But for some unknown reason, it had always followed Luo Xinyi in the appearance of a small pet.
Initially, Yuan Chen had some thoughts of raising it.
At the very least, when it was a Little Purple Sable, its fur was soft and bright, glowing with a purple luster.
It should be a beauty after taking human form.
But later, being out and about, he had forgotten about it.
Gradually, this idea had faded.
Let nature take its course, let her be!
Whether she could obtain her own physical body would depend on the Little Purple Sable's own fortune!
He pondered for a moment, then cast a strange look at the Little Purple Sable.
Was it possible that he had previously displayed some ill intentions that the Little Purple Sable had noticed, which was why it didn't want to take human form?
But this thought only flashed through his mind.
That definitely wasn't it.
His body was so magnificent that it must be craving it.
"Hey, Mother, whose territory is this below?"
Just then, Yuan Chen noticed a small island covered in flowers and plants below.
A group of strange plants on it were running around on their little feet.
Yuan Chen couldn't help but ask Luo Li.
Before Luo Li could answer, Bai Ning interjected.
"Husband, this is the territory of the Peony King. Everything on the island is a monster formed from flowers and plants."
They had just left the jurisdiction of the Xuandu Sect.
Bai Ning and her mother had always been active in this area in the past.
They were more familiar with the situation here than Luo Li.
After all, Luo Li hadn't returned for several hundred years, so she wasn't very clear about what changes had occurred here.
Yuan Chen's eyes lit up.
"Peony King? Is it a man or a woman?"
"Husband, the Peony King is a woman!"
"Is she pretty?"
"I don't know, but flower-type monsters are generally quite pretty."
"Mother, since we're already here, why don't we go down and take a look around?"
Hearing Bai Ning's response, Yuan Chen turned to Luo Li without hesitation.
Luo Li: "..."
Do you think I don't know what you want to do?
"Mother still has things to do at the Dragon Palace, so we had better return early," Luo Li said, shaking her head.
"Then Mother, you and Father go back first!"
"Hmm... leave the flying vessel behind. Don't worry, we have the power to protect ourselves."
Yuan Ji and Luo Li: "???"
Is that what we meant?
Yuan Ji's mouth twitched, and he then said to his wife,
"Since we happened to run into it, and the scenery here is quite nice, why don't we go down and take a look?"
"Father, so you are also a fellow enthusiast, hehe, then let's go together."
Yuan Ji's face darkened.
Who is a fellow enthusiast with you? Isn't this because I'm worried that it wouldn't be safe for you to stay here alone?
"We all like to see beautiful scenery."
Fortunately, Yuan Chen had a follow-up sentence.
"Stop spouting nonsense, let's go!"
Luo Li rolled her eyes.
"We'll only stay for a day or two, okay?"
"Fine!"
The group flew down toward Wanhua Island below.
But just as they landed, a team of vine guards surrounded them.
Yuan Ji immediately released his aura.
They had not yet entered the range of the Turbulent Star Sea.
The surrounding forces were all Alliances composed of minor monsters, without even a single Divine Beast.
The vine soldiers were immediately trembling with fear.
"Don't be afraid. We just think the environment here is beautiful and want to stay for two days to look around," Luo Li said kindly.
However, the vine soldiers dared not delay.
They left a few to guide the group around, while others were sent back to report to the Queen.
Yuan Chen and the others followed the soldiers and began to stroll around the island.
From time to time, exclamations of surprise from his wives could be heard.
Yuan Chen had to admit.
This small island was truly beautiful; every place was a little scenic spot.
The surrounding trees were a vibrant, shining green.
Even the stones by the roadside were spotlessly clean.
By the small stream, a few strangely shaped flower monsters were bowing their heads to drink water.
The minor monsters here had already reached the level where they could take human form.
But throughout the walk, Yuan Chen hadn't seen a single one that had taken human form.
Perhaps it was more suitable to Cultivate in their original forms on this island? Yuan Chen guessed.
In the Cultivation World, the human body structure is the state most suitable for Cultivation.
But there are exceptions for some special locations.
For example, for fire-type monsters, it is certainly easier to Cultivate in their original bodies in places like volcanoes.
"Ouch!"
While Yuan Chen was pondering, a child's voice came from the side.
Yuan Chen was taken aback.
This wasn't his son's voice!
He turned his head and saw Lu Mingming casually throwing an apple away, clearly also startled.
"So painful!"
The childish cry of pain sounded again.
Yuan Chen looked closely.
The apple that had fallen to the ground bounced up.
It had two little eyes on the front.
If you didn't pay attention, you would think they were wormholes.
Lu Mingming patted her chest.
"You scared me to death!"
She had seen a fruit tree by the roadside and casually picked one to stuff into her mouth.
Who knew she would hear a scream before she even took a bite.
She probably wouldn't dare to eat things by the roadside randomly for a short while; she was truly traumatized.
Yuan Chen hurriedly offered a few words of comfort.
After Lu Mingming calmed down, he saw a peony flower bouncing its way over from the distance.
It even had a proper-looking crown on its head.
It was woven from vines, with a red plum set in the center.
This must be the so-called Peony King, right?
Yuan Chen stared intently.
He paid no attention to the little imp that had just landed.
The voice sounded like a boy, so it was useless to him.
Luo Li and Yuan Ji also looked at the Peony King along with Yuan Chen.
As for the other wives, except for Shui Monong, they were all gathered around playing with the little apple.
Even Xue Lin stood by the side watching Seventh Princess Huo Yanyan and the others play, clearly unable to set aside her pride.
The Peony King got closer and closer.
When she reached a distance of about ten paces from Yuan Chen and the others, her body spun, and a woman in white appeared.
There was a small red mark between her brows.
She was charming and moving.
Besides that, even from more than ten paces away, Yuan Chen could smell a faint fragrance on her.
It was refreshing!
"For the arrival of the Seniors, please forgive Island Master Mu for failing to welcome you properly."
"I heard that the Seniors wish to view the scenery for two days, so I have already arranged for people to go and prepare rooms."
"Then many thanks to Miss Mu!"
Luo Li expressed her gratitude.
Island Master Mu sighed inwardly.
According to her wishes, she did not want any outsiders to disturb the tranquility of Wanhua Island.
But there were too many experts in this world.
She had absolutely no chance to refuse.
Besides, Luo Li and the others looked quite easy to talk to.
If she had encountered some evil fiends, she might have lost her life.
The previous few Island Masters of Wanhua Island were forcibly taken away by those big shots just for the sake of the island's peace.
Of course, it wasn't that they hadn't thought about letting male flowers be the Island Master.
But the beauty of the flowers was too strong.
When the male leader was also taken away, and by several men at that, they gave up completely.
And every subsequent Island Master became a hero ready to sacrifice themselves for Wanhua Island at any time.
Looking at the group of women on the scene who were full of love and were playing with the little apple, Island Master Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, she should be able to escape a calamity.
Probably...
