Pirates didn't go after them anymore. The next few days went by in peace.
Lu Li asked Yu Huashen and Ming Yu to move the Iron-armored Ship closer to the coastline. They were practically flying along the beach now.
It might expose them but it was safer. Lu Li didn't worry about exposing themselves too much because if the Lu Family really wanted him dead, they would go to the Northern Desert sooner or later. Hiding wouldn't make a difference.
Two days later, a cabin suddenly was opened. Lu Li was sitting outside the door. He glanced into the cabin at once. Seeing that Lu Feixue was glowing with happiness, Lu Li's eyes kindled as he said, "Aunt, you have made it?"
"Yes!"
Lu Feixue was smiling in her eyes. She was a beautiful lady and her smile dazzled Ming Yu and Yu Huashen. She said, "I have so many Mystical Materials and the Rising Dragon Grass. I was not too shabby and I am lucky."
"Aunt, congratulations!"
Lu Li stood up, took Lu Feixue's hands and said, "Aunt, you have the King Kong Bloodline and I think not even warriors of the Noble Lord Realm can hurt you now."
"About right!"
Lu Feixue nodded and replied, "My Mystic Armor is at the sixth level. It cannot be broken unless my opponent has a very powerful Profound Meaning for attacks and is at the peak of the Noble Lord Realm."
Almost all the disciples of the immediate Lu Family could awaken King Kong Bloodline. Lu Feixue's Mystic Armor at the sixth level was very powerful in defense. Lu Li was relaxed. Nobody could hurt Lu Feixue now unless they ran into Human Sovereign Realm warriors.
"I have just made the breakthrough so it's not quite stable yet. I need to cultivate more."
Lu Feixue didn't say much. She patted Lu
Li on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to protect me now. Thank you very much."
"It's nothing!"
Lu Li grinned and watched Lu Feixue as she went back. He stood outside the cabin for a moment before he went back to his own. He could finally get some nice sleep after so many sleepless days.
…
Since Lu Li's ship was flying close to the coastline, they didn't encounter any more pirates for the rest of the trip. But there were other Iron-armored Ships out at sea.
Those were from different families, but Lu Li avoided them so no conflict happened.
Lu Li had been in closed-door cultivation and Ming Yu and Yu Huashen took turns to cultivate. Lu Feixue never came out from her cabin. She had just made the breakthrough so she was desperate to stabilize it and try to sense the wonders of the Bead of Life.
One and a half month passed. They didn't even know how many miles they have covered now. But according to the marks on the map, they should be able to arrive at the Flowing Clouds region in 10 days at most.
Lu Li came out from his cultivation!
He had cultivated for a long time. His spirit sea had abundant Xuan Energy, and his Soul Pond was larger. There was no more Blood Essence in his body since he had consumed it all.
"Slow down!"
Lu Li told Yu Huashen. He released his Fate Wheel and dashed forward. Ming Yu walked out. He and Yu Huashen were shocked by what they saw.
They had realized that something was unusual with Lu Li's Fate Wheel. It just moved so fast that it could compare with Fate Wheels of several layers.
"Whoosh—"
Lu Li controlled his Fate Wheel to circle around and move in all kinds of
of strange trajectory in the sky. He came back after he was pleased with the flying after an hour.
Looking at the glistening dragon pattern on Lu Li's Fate Wheel, Yu Huashen and Ming Yu seemed to be getting worried.
Did Lu Li's Fate Wheel mutate? Could he make other Fate Wheels? Could the Fate Wheels be integrated together?
Yet Lu Li was in such a good mood so they didn't ask. Lu Li found an island in the distance. He thought about it and said, "We have been on the road for such a long time now. How about we get down there, take a rest, and have some cooked food?"
"Okay!"
Ming Yu and Yu Huashen had forgotten how cooked food tasted like after eating prepared rations and cooping up on the ship for more than a month. Lu Li knocked Lu Feixue's door and she was happy to hear the idea. The four of them flew to an unoccupied island and put away the Iron-armored Ship. Yu Huashen and Ming Yu put up fire and went to hunt for beasts respectively.
Lu Li did the cooking in person. He gutted a deer and several fish from the sea that Yu Huashen brought back and started roasting.
Lu Feixue went away by herself to find a corner to take a bath. When she came back with clean robes, Lu Li's roasted venison and fish were ready.
It was almost dusk by the time they finished eating. Yet the weather was not beautiful. Instead, it was cloudy. It looked like it was going to rain.
Lu Li and the others didn't care if it was going to rain or not. They could get back on the ship and resume their journey. They just ate to their hearts' content so they sat on the grassland to have a rest.
It was getting windy. Their clothes were
clothes were whooshing, and their hair danced in the wind. Lu Feixue frowned. She was about to tell Lu Li to go on with their journey.
"Tornado!"
Ming Yu gazed into the east and yelled. The others looked over and saw a huge tornado was wreaking havoc in the horizon. The waters were tumbling over and over, and tides were raging on.
"Someone is over there."
Yu Huashen's eyesight was so good that he spotted some boats in the distance. The boats were drifting about in the wind and they could capsize at any minute now.
"Go and save them!"
Without any deliberation, Lu Li said and waved his hand. Ming Yu took out the Iron-armored Ship to which they boarded. Those boats clearly were fishing boats. Those must be fishers that had come out to fish. Their boats would soon be destroyed, and they might die in such a tornado.
There were natural calamities and man-made misfortunes everywhere. Since they were here, Lu Li couldn't go without doing anything.
They flew towards the boats and saw there were more than a score of fishers on board.
Lu Li stood on the deck while Ming Yu flew down. Lu Li didn't pay attention to what Ming Yu did. After all, it was an easy matter for Ming Yu. Lu Li squinted and gazed into the tornado. He seemed to have been touched by something.
The tornado had a height of dozens of feet and it imposed impact on an area with a radius of more than 300 yards. The waters near the tornado were spinning along with it, and waves reached up to nearly 400 yards. If the fishers got sucked in, they would surely be smashed into pieces.
"This is the true power of nature!"
A gale was blowing, and waves were smashing at the sky. Tornado was raging on. Reefs were on. Reefs were sucked into the tornado and then smashed down…
Lu Li felt he sensed something. He gazed into the distance and went into a trance.
Ming Yu was moving very fast. He could bring several people up with him every time he flew down, and in just a short while, he had saved all the fishers.
Those fishers were terrified. They became a little relaxed after they boarded on the Iron-armored Ship. They all knelt down and expressed their gratitude.
Ming Yu maintained a stern face while saying said nothing. He told the fishers to sit on the deck while Yu Huashen flew the Iron-armored Ship towards the land.
It was very windy so Lu Feixue went back to her cabin. Ming Yu noticed Lu Li was still standing quietly on the deck by himself. Ming Yu frowned and walked over only to see that Lu Li's mind was absent as if he was deliberating about something.
Ming Yu dared not to interrupt. He stayed beside him and protected him. The Iron-armored Ship was flying away in a fast speed but Lu Li hadn't noticed it. He was still standing there, absent-minded.
They were not far away from the land. They arrived after the time for just several incense sticks to burn. Ming Yu brought the fisher down one by one and went back to Lu Li's side after all the fishers were on the land.
"Boom~"
Right at that time, a thunder came off in the sky. A strike of lighting pierced through the sky like a white dragon and shot down into the sea.
Lu Li woke up with a start. He opened his confused eyes and gazed into the distance, but the tornado was gone.
He said annoyed, "The lightning came at such a bad time. Yu Huashen, fly the Iron-armored Ship towards the tornado. I think… I felt something!"
