Chapter 189: Sailing Ship

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Verdant Wood Tribe was located on the border of the Fire Field and the Wood Field. According to the waiter Jiang Chen asked, it would take the fastest horse half a year to arrive in the Xia Dynasty.

Jiang Chen didn’t have the fastest horse, but he had Whitty, and that was fast enough.

Besides, it wouldn’t be as dangerous outside the Realm of Beasts, only a normal journey for Jiang Chen and Whitty.

At the same time, since they were back in the normal world, Jiang Chen told Whitty to abide by the law. It couldn’t be as naughty as it had been in the Realm of Beasts.

He felt lucky that Whitty had been raised as a mount. If it were a wild monster, once it had awakened its fierce beast blood, he wouldn’t have had the nerve to take it back to human society.

As Whitty’s intelligence developed day by day, it was like a naughty kid, but always obedient to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen went back to the Fire Field in half a month.

The interesting part was that he passed by the Vermilion Bird City, where he had gone on an adventure, and saw the mine where he had almost died.

What could have happened to those stone coffins?

It had been a long time ago. It seemed there was a news blackout regarding the underground mausoleum. Outsiders had no way of knowing what had happened there.

The Intelligence Pavilion even sold such information at a high price, not any cheaper than the information for Jiang Chen’s spiritual herbs.

Jiang Chen went into the Vermilion Bird City first and found it less crowded than before.

Soon, he noticed he didn’t see any youngsters there.

The people in the city were surprised to see him. Someone asked him, “Kid, why are you here? Don’t you want to watch the competition of the Sacred Institute?”

“But it hasn’t started yet.”

Jiang Chen estimated there was still more than half a month to go, so he wasn’t in a hurry, but the date was set after he was trapped in the Realm of Beasts, so he didn’t know precisely when it was.

“I don’t know when you think it is, but the primary election has already started. It’ll last for three days. Today is the second day.”

“What?!”

Jiang Chen couldn’t sit still anymore. He took Whitty out of the city immediately and flew at full speed.

This news disrupted his plan. He had planned to go back to the Hundred Thousand Mountains to visit his family, then return to the Natural Law School and leave with his sibling disciples to participate in the competition together.

There’s still time.

Jiang Chen thought about how long it had taken him last time to travel by airship from the Vermilion Bird City to the Natural Law School. It had taken several days, but at that moment, he and Whitty were flying much faster.

He tried his best and managed to enter the territory of the Xia Dynasty before nightfall.

“Let’s take a rest.”

Jiang Chen was pretty satisfied with his progress. He still had the whole night, and he was sure he could arrive in time.

An anxious voice came from behind when he was looking for a place to land.

“Make way! Make way!”

Whitty pushed him aside when he was about to look back.

In the meantime, a sailing ship, flying at its highest speed, flew by where he had been standing.

When he found his balance again, the sailing ship had stopped at the end of his sight.

Jiang Chen soon realized if Whitty hadn’t reacted in time, he would have been knocked over by the sailing ship.

Sailing ships couldn’t stop immediately when they were at their fullest speed.

He knew sailing ships well. Besides, the crew had also warned him, so he didn’t have too many complaints, but Whitty was quite angry. It wanted to destroy the sailing ship.

Jiang Chen comforted it a little and praised it for what it had done. He promised that when they reached the destination, he would buy it honey-glazed ham.

After hearing this, Whitty finally calmed down.

“Let’s take a look.”

The sailing ship had stopped right where Jiang Chen was going, so he flew over, but he put on a mask so that no one would recognize him.

While everyone still thought he was dead, he really wanted to play a prank.

At the same time, some youngsters were in a heated discussion on the deck of the sailing ship.

“Did we hit him or not?”

“I’m not sure, but I didn’t hear any screams, he could have dodged.”

“The ship’s bow isn’t damaged. I’m sure no one was hit.”

“But he must have been given a good scare. We should compensate him.”

Although many people were discussing the matter, it was the man and the woman in the center who had the final word.

The woman had mentioned the compensation. She had a big and round face, but delicate features.

She was a full-figured woman in a close-fitting black robe.

Her clothes and hair style were so different from the others’ that it seemed like they were from two different countries.

“Princess Fragrance, you’re too naïve.” The handsome youngster next to her said, “Human beings are sinister. That guy will blackmail us if we’re too nice.”

“Ah?” Princess Fragrance didn’t understand what he meant. She looked confused.

“Princess, I agree with Apprentice Brother Yun.”

“We should act tough before compensating him. Otherwise, if we pay him the compensation directly, he’ll demand an exorbitant price.”

“Okay.” Princess Fragrance didn’t argue. She agreed since others had reached a consensus.

“Princess, here he is.” A maid ran over.

“Princess, leave him to us.”

Apprentice Brother Yun and the others immediately looked towards the stern. Jiang Chen soon came into sight on Whitty’s back.

“A flying tiger?”

They hadn’t seen clearly how Jiang Chen was flying because it was too dark. They thought he had a device to fly on, but to their surprise, it was a tiger with wings.

After the shock of seeing the tiger, they didn’t forget the plan they had made. One of them came forward to shout at Jiang Chen.

“What’s wrong with you? Why didn’t you watch where you were going? Do you know what a loss we’ve suffered by braking?”

Jiang Chen frowned. Hadn’t they stopped the ship to apologize?

He shook his head. He didn’t have the time to argue with them, so he left in silence.

Those on the ship didn’t expect his reaction.

Princess Fragrance looked at those people, puzzled. She became more and more confused.

“He’s wearing a mask at night. He might have done evil things and doesn’t want to expose himself,” Apprentice Brother Yun explained to her embarrassedly.

Princess Fragrance was dubious about his explanation. The sailing ship started again.

Since the sailing ship was fast enough, they soon saw Jiang Chen on Whitty’s back again.

Without waiting for the others’ reactions, Princess Fragrance said to him out of guilt, “My friend, we didn’t see you just now and almost hit you. I’m really sorry. It looks like you’re also heading for the capital of the Xia Dynasty. Why don’t you come with us and travel by airship?”

Jiang Chen was persuaded by her.

He would save a lot of time with the fast speed of the sailing ship.

“Okay.” Jiang Chen wasn’t a drama queen. He jumped onto the deck directly with Whitty.

Whitty closed its wings since it didn’t need to fly anymore. That is to say, the wings disappeared. If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, the people on the ship wouldn’t believe tigers like this existed.

“My friend, what kind of mount is this? It’s so amazing!” Princess Fragrance was interested in Whitty too, but Whitty didn’t appreciate her interest at all. It was breathing hard when she approached it.

“It doesn’t like strangers,” Jiang Chen explained to her, but he knew Whitty bore a grudge against them, since the ship had almost hit them.
