Chapter 126: Rampage to the Second Heaven!

Xiao Feng led Shi Yan and Xia Xinyan to the door of a private room on the third floor of the iron ship. Standing at the door, Xiao Feng knocked respectfully and said, “Protector Sui, I have brought the person.”

“Let him in,” came a lazy female voice from inside the room.

“Protector Sui, the young lady has also arrived,” Xiao Feng glanced back at Xia Xinyan and whispered.

“Hmph, have the young lady wait outside,” the woman inside replied indifferently.

Xiao Feng nodded, gently pushed the door open, and gestured for Shi Yan to enter.

Shi Yan finally released Xia Xinyan’s tightly clasped hand, frowned, and stepped inside.

With a creak, the door closed behind him. Xiao Feng stood coldly by the side, watching Xia Xinyan warily.

The room was spacious, about fifty square meters, with a soft carpet covering the floor. The walls were adorned with vivid erotic paintings. On a sandalwood table sat an array of bright red fruits and a pot of wine.

On a large bed draped with red silk curtains lay a provocatively dressed beautiful woman. Her skin was snow-white, her eyes moist and alluring, brimming with untold charm. A tiny black mole the size of a grain of rice at the corner of her mouth added an extra touch of seduction.

The beauty reclined lazily, a faint smile playing on her lips as she glanced at Shi Yan. “Are you the one who injured Li Wei?”

Shi Yan nodded but remained silent.

Protector Sui appeared to be only in her thirties, her appearance exquisite and her figure graceful. Had Xia Xinyan not spoken earlier, Shi Yan might have been tempted to indulge in some intimacy with this enchanting woman.

However, recalling her notorious reputation as a woman who entertained countless men, Shi Yan felt a wave of disgust, his interest evaporating completely.

He was somewhat particular. Unless absolutely necessary, he avoided mingling in brothels. His indulgence in the Smoky Rain Pavilion was only due to the mysterious martial soul absorbing negative energy—a reluctant necessity.

“You’re quite handsome,” the beauty chuckled softly, her bright eyes lingering on Shi Yan before she smiled and said, “Since you hurt Li Wei, it would be difficult for you to establish yourself on this ship without my favor. Hmm, your realm isn’t low—you’re already at the Hundred Tribulations stage. If you cultivate the secret techniques of my Yin-Yang Celestial Cave, your progress will be much faster. I wish to take you as my disciple; what do you say?”

Just as he thought.

Shi Yan’s heart chilled, though his face remained expressionless as he shook his head. “Thank you for your kindness, but I’m used to going it alone. Once I see land, I will leave. I don’t want to trouble you further, madam.”

“Oh?” The beauty raised an eyebrow, her smile fading into a cool expression. “In my Yin-Yang Celestial Cave, beauties abound—from twelve or thirteen-year-olds to women in their thirties and forties. All kinds of blossoms, truly everything one could desire. In the Endless Sea, countless talented youths long to join us and enjoy the pleasures of the world. Are you sure you won’t reconsider?”

Shi Yan shook his head indifferently.

“Very well. I dislike forcing others,” she said thoughtfully, waving her hand. “You may leave now. Watch out for Li Wei. If you change your mind, you’re welcome to come find me anytime. I’m very enthusiastic about nurturing young talent. Join my sect, and I guarantee you endless beauties.”

Suppressing his stirring emotions, Shi Yan bowed deeply, stepped back decisively, opened the door, and left.

“Let’s go,” Shi Yan naturally took Xia Xinyan’s hand again. Under Xiao Feng’s puzzled gaze, they hurried down the stairs to the bottom floor.

“Ungrateful,” Xiao Feng muttered, then entered the room and asked the beauty, “Protector Sui, will you deal with them? Please tell Li Zhuang not to harm these two. When we reach the destination, consider them a gift for friends. Hmm, they can be traded for something. Living corpses are worth far more than dead ones; they must not be wasted.”

The beauty’s expression was indifferent, unconcerned. Xiao Feng’s face flickered with shock but nodded lightly. “Understood.”

“Alright, you may go,” the beauty waved her hand. “If that boy changes his mind, remember to bring him to me. I’ve given him a chance. Before we reach the destination, I’m still willing to accept him.”

“Yes, madam,” Xiao Feng bowed and withdrew, brows furrowed as she sighed softly.

Shi Yan remained vigilant all the way down, returning safely with Xia Xinyan to the cramped room at the bottom floor. Once seated, both quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Was that woman not beautiful?” Xia Xinyan, sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly glanced over curiously.

“Beautiful—like a ripe honey peach, making one want to take a fierce bite,” Shi Yan answered honestly.

“Then why did you refuse? You know, by rejecting her, we’ll likely face Li Wei’s revenge all the way,” Xia Xinyan said.

“I’m picky,” Shi Yan snorted, cursing under his breath, “You paint these women so poorly, how could I be interested? Do I look like someone who’s desperate?”

“You do!” Xia Xinyan snapped back.

Shi Yan grit his teeth, standing up fiercely and staring at her. “You’ve been picking fights with me lately, haven’t you? Do you really want me to teach you a lesson?”

“You dare!”

“What don’t I dare?” Shi Yan smiled faintly, suddenly leapt onto the small bed, and in a flash, grabbed Xia Xinyan, planting a fierce kiss on her neck. Then, just as quickly, he jumped down, chuckling, “Consider that a little punishment.”

“Shi Yan! You—scoundrel! I won’t let you off!” Xia Xinyan’s eyes blazed with fury, her fierce glare like a little tiger baring its claws.

“Before you recover, I’ll leave first and won’t give you a chance,” Shi Yan said coolly. “You’ve been under my ban for some time. If you keep provoking me, I’ll keep teaching you lessons so you’ll know how to be a proper woman!”

“I’ll remember you!” Xia Xinyan’s chest heaved rapidly with anger, teeth clenched.

“I’m honored to be remembered. In this vast Endless Sea, there can’t be many young men who’ve made such an impression on you, right? Heh heh!” Shi Yan continued teasing recklessly.

Xia Xinyan’s eyes grew cold; she bit her lip and stopped responding.

Shi Yan felt quietly triumphant.

At the martial competition, Xia Xinyan had floated gracefully in the void, a goddess towering above all rivals.

At that moment, Shi Yan’s heart stirred with impure thoughts, feeling unworthy before this lofty woman. After witnessing her peerless beauty at Blue Moon Lake, his desire only deepened.

If not for Xia Xinyan’s serious injury, he might never have had the chance to approach her intimately. Missing this opportunity would mean losing the perfect moment forever. Thinking of this stunning beauty, her breathtaking charm, and her miraculous reincarnation martial soul, he found himself hard to control.

Xia Xinyan was the first woman on this unfamiliar continent to truly captivate his heart.

Xia Xinyan said nothing, and Shi Yan ceased his chatter, knowing that excessive noise only breeds annoyance in a lady’s heart.

Closing his eyes, Shi Yan prepared to continue his arduous cultivation.

Suddenly, he recalled the Blood Pattern Ring on his finger.

A spark ignited within him. Shi Yan secretly began to channel his essence, gathering all his strength as if a flood rushing into the ring.

Streams of essence poured like rivers into his arm, surging into his palm, forcefully striking the Blood Pattern Ring.

Brilliant rainbow light suddenly exploded from the ring.

Shi Yan’s heart leapt with joy. He focused all his attention, regardless of Xia Xinyan’s possible surprise, immersing himself completely.

Essence flowed like sharp blades, crazily infusing the Blood Pattern Ring.

The ring glowed brighter and brighter; red beams burst forth. Under the fierce essence onslaught, a barrier within the ring suddenly cracked open!

Strange symbols flew out of the ring, swirling into Shi Yan’s mind, etched deeply into his memory.

“Rampage Second Heaven!”

These mysterious symbols were the cultivation method for the Rampage Second Heaven, now becoming part of Shi Yan’s indelible memory.

The method required integrating negative energy into one’s blood!

By using blood to activate negative energy, one could double the strength of negative energy beyond the Rampage First Heaven!

Shi Yan’s eyes snapped open in shock.

Xia Xinyan’s gaze shimmered with strange light as she fixed her eyes on the Blood Pattern Ring. Seeing him awake, she immediately asked, “Your ring seems unusual. Just now, a very ancient, wild aura flowed from it. What happened?”

“Nothing,” Shi Yan replied lightly, unwilling to delve deeper. “This ring is a kind of secret treasure. I’m exploring its mysteries.”

“Any discoveries?” Xia Xinyan grew interested.

“No real gains,” Shi Yan shook his head. A gleam flashed in his eyes as he suddenly said, “There’s a strong death aura in the boxes on this floor. I sensed something just now. Let’s go take a look.”

Having obtained the Rampage Second Heaven technique, Shi Yan’s senses became extraordinarily sharp. Sure enough, he detected a faint death aura emanating from the boxes.

“Alright,” Xia Xinyan nodded, stepping down from the bed to follow Shi Yan to the center of the floor, where large boxes stood.

These boxes were rectangular, sealed with steel nails, appearing heavy and sturdy.

Shi Yan approached one box, hesitated briefly, then silently employed his Finger Gun Technique. His five fingers, like iron hooks, pried out the steel nails and flung open the thick wooden lid.

A chilling death aura suddenly poured out. Shi Yan leaned forward, his expression darkening as he shouted, “Corpses!”

Inside the box lay the corpse of a man about fifty years old, covered with strange ice blocks that filled the space with a bone-chilling cold.

The body was intact but gaunt, with a long face. In the dim ship’s hold, the sight was grim and terrifying.

Shi Yan frowned deeply and, using the same method, opened another box nearby.

Inside was another male corpse, about thirty years old, also intact and covered with solid ice.

“There are thirty-two boxes in total. Could each box contain a corpse?” Shi Yan’s face grew increasingly grim as he realized why Xiao Feng didn’t want to linger here—she must have known what was inside the boxes and was eager to leave as soon as possible.

“Corpses enslaved by the Corpse God Cult!” Xia Xinyan’s eyes filled with disgust, her lips twitching with anger. “The Yin-Yang Celestial Cave people actually put us here. Sooner or later, they will pay the price!”
