The journey from there to the Divine Sonar Region was going to take half a year. The Divine Sonar Region was also north of the Yin Clan’s four regions. On the other hand, the Crippled Heaven Region was east of the Yin Clan’s four regions. The distance was not that great. Hence, it would also take half a year to reach the Crippled Heaven Region. Jiang Yi was actually not so much in a hurry. After discussions with Tang Ming, Jiang Yi decided to seclude himself and cultivate for a period of time first. When they got closer, they could talk about their plans again.
It had been decided what the plan to save Tang Xue and Tang Yan was. The Tang Clan prized its reputation; hence, the two ladies could not disappear while still in the custody of the Tang Clan. Jiang Yi could only s.n.a.t.c.h the two when they were in the hands of the Li Clan. With Tang Ming’s cooperation, this matter became easier. As the Li Clan did not have any DemiG.o.ds, there wasn’t too much stress on Jiang Yi regarding this plan.
The only problem was that this plan could not attract too much attention. Furthermore, Jiang Yi had to intervene with a legitimate enough reason and capacity. After all, the Li Clan’s status was unique; no ordinary person would dare to provoke the almighty. If not handled properly, this matter might attract the attention of outsiders. If the Yin Clan started to investigate, it was highly likely they would be able to guess Jiang Yi’s true ident.i.ty. The Nine Thearch Clans were too powerful; if they were to investigate quietly, Jiang Yi would never be able to discover that. Hence, Jiang Yi had to act carefully, like treading on thin ice, to guarantee complete success.
Tang Ming heard Jiang Yi’s plan and knew that the latter’s mind was set. Tang Ming did not say much, only mentioning that he would continue thinking about this over the next six months. Tang Ming wanted to see if there was a better way that would avoid the need for bloodshed.
After the plan was thrashed out, Tang Ming personally brought Jiang Yi to the second s.h.i.+p cabin. Upon entering, Jiang Yi saw the two absolute beauties, with their faces swollen with tears.
Over the past two-odd years, Tang Xue and Tang Yan had become even more beautiful. Previously, they were like flowers that were still budding; now, they have blossomed. They were perfectly proportioned and looked very good. The two were wearing white dresses and looked exactly the same. No one could tell who was who.
Tang Ming looked at the two sisters and growled, “The two of you, listen. This period of time, you will serve Young Master Yi!”
“Uh?”
A middle-aged housekeeper in the cabin was stunned. Tang Xue and Tang Yan were also astonished as they looked up at Jiang Yi. They were perplexed, with their bodies shuddering at the same time. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
Since the two had already been given to the Li Clan Third Elder, why is Tang Ming asking them to serve this Young Master? Could it be that the Tang Clan had changed its mind? Were they not going to be given to that old s.e.x fiend?
Housekeeper He became anxious. The Li Clan’s Third Elder had specified that he wanted virgins. To have Tang Xue and Tang Yan serve Jiang Yi for a period of time? If Tang Xue and Tang Yan lost their virginities, the Tang Clan’s reputation would be ruined. Hence, he gritted his teeth and said, “Consecrator, this is not ideal…”
“What is there to fuss about?”
Tang Ming waved his hand and said resolutely, ‘This is an order. Also, this matter cannot be divulged to any outsider. Anyone who disobeys will be killed! The two of you, hurry up and thank Young Master Yi!”
Tang Xue and Tang Yan came to their senses, hurriedly kowtowed to Jiang Yi, and conveyed their thanks. “Many thanks to Young Master for your great kindness.”
“Consecrator Tang, I will go and cultivate now. I will find you again later!”
Jiang Yi nodded satisfactorily and brought Tang Xue and Tang Yan to his cabin. The two frail ladies had suffered much over the past few days. Although their looks were unvarnished, their bodies were full of internal wounds. Hence, they could only support each other as they walked.
After they entered the s.h.i.+p cabin, the two ladies looked as if they were dreaming and looked shyly at Jiang Yi. They didn’t know if they should stand or sit. Jiang Yi leisurely sat in the host’s seat and poured himself a cup of tea. He then took out two pills of recuperation medicine from his Ancient Divine Essence Ring and pa.s.sed it to the two. Jiang Yi said, “Eat these first. I do not want you two to have any internal injuries. This is the highest-grade of recuperation medicine. The wounds on your bodies will heal in two days.”
“Many thanks to Young Master!”
The two were terrified and were just about to kneel down when Jiang Yi stopped them with a gesture. “Alright, listen to me. I do not have many rules. Do not kneel down for no reason. You two can live here peacefully. With me here… you two will definitely be safe from now on.”
The two ladies exchanged glances, and one of them asked shyly, “So… from now on, we can follow Young Master forever?”
“No!”
Jiang Yi said lightly. The two young ladies’ faces suddenly became pale. However, the next sentence Jiang Yi said made the two overjoyed. “From today onward, you two will no longer have any relations.h.i.+p with the Tang Clan. However, you two cannot follow me everywhere. I have many things to attend to. I will arrange for the two of you to go somewhere; from then on, you two will be free to do whatever you want. If you meet a compatible guy, you can even choose to marry that person.”
Plop!
The two sisters paused and then knelt heavily. One of the two looked at Jiang Yi with tears in her eyes, saying, “Young Master’s great kindness and great heart, the two of us can never repay. We will be slaves to Young Master in life and Young Master’s ghosts in death. Young Master does not need to mention the topic of marrying someone else anymore.”
“To be my ghosts?”
Jiang Yi scratched his nose, embarra.s.sed. Why was it so uncomfortable listening to what they had said? He waved his hand and said, “Alright! I have just told you two to not kneel at every small thing. It is fate that I managed to meet the two of you. You two can stay here peacefully. You do not need to do anything.”
The two sisters stood up and looked at Jiang Yi with grat.i.tude. One of them wiped her tears and said, “Young Master is really nice. You must really be Bodhisattva incarnate.”
“Hahaha!”
Jiang Yi laughed out loud. His both hands were stained with fresh blood; countless men had died at his hand. Yet, there was someone who thought he was Bodhisattva incarnate? He stared at the two and looked at them intently. He was slightly curious and asked, “The two of you look exactly alike. How do I know who is Tang Yan and who is Tang Xue? Do the two of you have anything unique to each of you?”
“Uh…”
Jiang Yi’s question made the two sisters blush. The two of them exchanged glances as one of them, with her face flushed, said, “To answer Young Master, there is no way to tell us apart from our appearances. However, on my tummy, there is a slightly faint birthmark. I am the older sister Tang Xue while she is my younger sister Tang Yan. My sister’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s are slightly bigger; besides that, there are no other differences.”
Jiang Yi was dazed for a second and recovered himself as his face too turned red. However, his eyes moved instinctively to look at the chests of the two sisters. Indeed, there was a slight difference there; Tang Yan’s b.r.e.a.s.t.s were slightly bigger.
Jiang Yi noticed that Tang Xue was looking at him furtively, hurriedly averted his gaze, and pretended to drink tea. However, he drank too hurriedly and choked, coughing a few times instead.
The two sisters also lowered their heads, embarra.s.sed and with their bodies burning hot. After a while, Jiang Yi recovered from his coughing fit and had a slight headache. The two sisters really looked identical. How was he going to tell them apart next time? He couldn’t possibly stare at their chests every time he wanted to distinguish between the two, could he?
“Oh, right!”
Jiang Yi slapped his thigh and said, ‘Tang Xue, Tang Yan, both of you should wear different hairpins next time! That way, I will be able to tell who is who.”
Buzz!
Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan his Ancient Divine Essence Ring. He had killed many people and had obtained numerous treasures. He had not bothered to sort out the treasures one by one, and many a time just dumped them inside his ring. His divine senses scanned a few times and found some hair accessories in the ring. He took out two different hairpins and gave one each to the two sisters. “Tang Xue, you will wear this plum flower hairpin from now on. Tang Yan, you will wear this pear flower hairpin. I will then be able to tell you two apart.”
“Heehee. Many thanks to Young Master. Young Master is really nice.” Tang Xue smiled sweetly while Tang Yan smiled slightly bashfully. Jiang Yi then realized something else. Tang Xue was livelier while Tang Yan was slightly shyer.
“Alright. I am going to cultivate. Stay here and rest.”
After settling the two, Jiang Yi did not want to waste any time. He was about to enter the secret cultivation room. However, before he had even stepped out of the room, the two ladies panicked. Tang Xue asked, “Young Master…”
Jiang Yi was curious and stopped walking. “What is it? Is there something else?”
Tang Xue bit her lip and said, “We want to follow Young Master. If you are not around, we are afraid the Tang Clan would catch us again and give us away to the Li Old Fiend.”
“Alright. I will put you two into a spatial divine item. You two will definitely be safe there.”
Jiang Yi thought for a moment and gave the two an Ancient Divine Essence Ring. There were food supplies, water, energy elixirs, and everyday supplies in it. He then took out the Thearch Palace and placed the two in it. Although from the looks of it, the Tang Clan would not betray him, it was better to play it safe. Furthermore, if anything happened unexpectedly, he could escape immediately with the two safe in the Thearch Palace.
“Before reaching Crippled Heaven Region, we will be pa.s.sing by the Divine Sonar Region. If the Sonar Thearch was willing to help, then there would be no need to s.n.a.t.c.h the girls by force. I wonder what type of person the Sonar Thearch is. Will he be willing to help?”
Jiang Yi sighed, turned, walked into the secret cultivation room, and restarted his dull cultivation again.
