The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 644 - 0: The Devil’s Territory
Chapter 644: Chapter 0644: The Devil’s Territory
The captain of the Dongying vessel stared at Long Fei and Chu Feng, a bit surprised by their reactions.
Puffing out his chest, he said proudly, "What, you know of the Anpei family?"
Long Fei chuckled, "Not only have I heard of them, but they’re also my sworn enemy!"
Chu Feng took out a cigarette, lit it up, and stuffed it into the mouth of the captain of the Dongying vessel, then asked him seriously, "Tell me, is the Pirate King your family’s doing?"
Long Fei spat blood, pushed this guy away, and thought to himself what kind of question that was, leaving the captain of the Dongying vessel utterly confused.
He began to reason with the captain of the Dongying vessel, "Don’t be in such a hurry to die. Dying sooner or later is still dying. You might as well follow us. Once we’re done, we’ll take you back to the Anpei family. You can meet your relatives, then we’ll kill you. At that time, you can die loyal to the Emperor."
The captain of the Dongying vessel found it a bit of a tongue-twister but felt that what Long Fei said made quite some sense.
He had been wandering in the time tunnel for God knows how long; to say he didn’t miss home would be a lie.
When he left home, his beloved Mei Huizi had just become pregnant, and he didn’t know if his son had been born yet.
After smoking a Zhonghua cigarette, the captain of the Dongying vessel finally calmed down.
He looked at Long Fei with disdain and said, "The Anpei family is the most powerful Yin Yang Master Family in Dongying Country. When the time comes, it won’t be so easy for you to kill me."
Long Fei laughed and said, "We’ll talk about future things in the future. Let’s discuss your matters first. We read your sailing log, which mentioned that you entered a time tunnel. What is that place like, can you describe it simply?"
The captain of the Dongying vessel seemed to remember something terrifying and shuddered involuntarily.
It seemed he had been holding in a lot for a long time and wanted to have a good talk with someone.
Without much thought, he began to explain, "That place seems to be an inverted world, with the sky below and the sea overhead. Our ship sailed upon the sky, surrounded by clouds; it felt like flying through the heavens."
Li Zhenni had finished arranging things with the captain below and now came up to sit beside Long Fei and Chu Feng.
Fat Wang and a few others squeezed over, and when they saw that the unyieldingly resolute captain of the Dongying vessel had actually defected, they all found it odd; they had thought he’d resist to the end!
With his explanation, everyone looked at each other, feeling like they were listening to some kind of science fiction novel.
Long Fei pressed on, "All the other people on the fleet were decomposed and deteriorated, why haven’t you?"
The captain of the Dongying vessel said proudly, "I am a descendant of the Anpei family; naturally, I know a bit of the Cultivation Technique of inhaling and exhaling energy. That place was rich in Spiritual Energy, and with nothing else to do, I practiced my breathing. Unknowingly, my body became like this."
Long Fei and Chu Feng exchanged looks, and for a moment, they fell into contemplative silence.
Could it be that place is the boundary between two worlds?
It’s like a mirror, with this world on one side and another world on the reverse?
At the junction, the Laws of Time and Space are chaotic and unordered; that makes sense.
Wang Xiaoya’s mother once left a message saying that a long time ago, Daoist Sect masters joined forces to fold the Earth’s space in half.
One half is now Earth, and the other half is the Cultivation world.
Perhaps the Japanese accidentally blundered into the crevice between the two worlds.
The group fell silent. The captain of the Dongying vessel, unable to hold back, took the initiative to speak, "Could you give me something to eat?"
Long Fei frowned and asked him, "Didn’t you say you don’t need to eat?"
The captain of the Dongying vessel rubbed his stomach and said, "Others don’t, but I can eat once I return to this world."
"Fat Wang, go get him some canned meat!"
Long Fei instructed Fat Wang, knowing that among this group of ghosts, only he survived because he knew the breathing techniques.
The bodies of the others who returned had started to decompose entirely.
Even without encountering Long Fei and his party, they would have slowly turned to ash and dispersed.
Although people can live for a long time in the time tunnel, once they leave, the effects of time immediately start acting upon their bodies.
Unless one is a cultivator, it’s difficult for ordinary people to resist the invasion of the Time Laws.
The Captain of the Dongying Vessel not only survived but also, due to the effects of Spiritual Energy, tempered his flesh to be extraordinary, extremely tough and resilient.
Fat Wang was quite straightforward, bringing up a case of canned beef.
Upon seeing it, the Captain of the Dongying Vessel’s eyes shone brightly, and, without any shame, he hugged a can and exclaimed in collapse, "Beef, it’s canned beef, I haven’t eaten this for such a long time."
The group chuckled together, finding the speech of this dried corpse quite amusing.
He opened the can and, without saying a second word, grabbed a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
This was truly the hunger of someone who hadn’t eaten in a long time, finishing one box after another.
A case of canned beef, weighing over ten pounds, was devoured by him in one go.
His skin inflated slowly like a balloon, and finally became smooth and tight, returning to the appearance of a normal person.
By the looks of it, he didn’t appear old at all but still maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
Long Fei contemplated whether the latter-day admirals of Dongying had become worthless.
How did he, so young, climb to that rank?
The Captain of the Dongying Vessel patted his belly and let out a satisfied burp, then bowed to everyone, "Thank you all for your hospitality, it’s been so long since I’ve tasted something so delicious."
Long Fei had Fat Wang clean up the cans and then asked him, "Introduce yourself! What’s your status within the Anpei Family?"
The Captain of the Dongying Vessel, with a somewhat flushed face, answered, "My name is Anpei Hirakawa, a descendant from a collateral branch of the Anpei family."
Long Fei nodded and said with a smile, "I can see that."
If he was from the direct line, Anpei Hirakawa’s Yin Yang Technique wouldn’t be so poor.
He was silent for a moment before asking in a breath, "What year is it now? Why are you all dressed like that? What’s the current state of Dongying? Has America withdrawn its troops from Dongying?"
Li Zhenni said, "More than seventy years have passed since your time. America has not withdrawn its troops; they are still stationed there! Dongying is doing okay now, but they tend to court death and still seem quite deserving of a beating."
The others laughed, making Anpei Hirakawa feel quite embarrassed.
The scholar corrected, "Miss, the place where the American troops are stationed originally belonged to the Ryukyu Kingdom. Dongying Country shamelessly occupied it. To be precise, it’s not part of Dongying Country."
Li Zhenni gave him an exasperated glance, "Alright, you’re educated, we get it."
The scholar chuckled, intending to enlighten them further on Ryukyu history.
A sailor responsible for lookout excitedly shouted from the mast, "My God, I see our destination! A ring of reefs, it’s spectacular, majestic, and beautiful!"
His shouting from above caused everyone to stand up one after another.
The fog in front of them finally dispersed, and having passed through the layers of mist barriers, they finally saw the place described by their grandfather.
A hundred miles of coral reefs, with calm seas all around, one could even see the reefs exposed above the water.
Flocks of seagulls rested atop them while the water and sky merged in one color, making for a breathtaking scene.
Anpei Hirakawa glanced at it but then anxiously yelled, "Don’t go any closer, don’t go closer. This is the devil’s territory; we entered the time tunnel from here—quick, go back!"
His face was filled with horror, recalling the living hell he had experienced, and his whole body trembled.
