Chapter 410: Chapter 167: Charm Ancestor and Buddha Master

Seeing how ruthless Xu Lei’s subordinate was, and how arrogant and domineering Xu Lei himself acted, everyone on the boat was stunned, their faces filled with fear.

“Sir, sir, what are you doing?”

Just then, the old fisherman hurried over. “My apprentice… he just has a bit of a wandering eye. He can’t help but stare when he sees a pretty woman. But he would never dare try anything.

And I’m a man of my word; I won’t allow anything untoward to happen! If that boy has any crooked ideas, I’ll be the first one to break his legs!”

“Of course I believe you, old sir.”

Xu Lei smiled and had the Human Puppet release the young man, whose neck was red and swollen. “I’m just getting the ugly part out of the way first. I’d hate for some young man to let desire cloud his judgment and do something foolish. At that point, things would have to get bloody, and that would be… awkward.

If I say it plainly now, everyone will know where the line is, and our business can proceed more pleasantly.

Of course, since we’re already on the subject, let me add one more thing. For everyone on this boat, no matter who it is, if anyone gets any crooked ideas or tries anything funny, I will hold you all accountable! I’ll kill every last one of you!

So, you should all keep an eye on each other. If you find someone with improper intentions, it’s best you deal with it amongst yourselves first. And don’t worry, I’m not a bloodthirsty person. As long as you hold up your end of our deal—take my money and do your job—I have no reason to harm any of you.”

That’s right. Xu Lei decided to show some of his power directly rather than feigning weakness.

After all, there was no point in pretending to be weak. If these mortals were truly courting death, Xu Lei could certainly kill them all, but it would be a hassle.

The money he’d spent would go to waste, he’d lose his ride on the boat, and he’d have to fly on his own using his Magical Power.

Hearing Xu Lei’s hardline tone and seeing the way he looked at them as if they were ants, the crewmen’s expressions all turned grim.

Though they didn’t know what the source of Xu Lei’s confidence was, their expressions grew much more deferential.

Not a single one of them dared to steal another glance at Bai Ling.

“Master, you’re so possessive.”

Bai Ling laughed. “They only stole a few glances at me, and you’re already acting like this, even threatening to kill them all? How twisted! I love it! Those two Enchantresses are still swimming out in the sea, and they haven’t changed course. It’s hard for us to make a move while they’re in the water! Why don’t we go rest in the cabin for a bit? I’m longing for you to perform one of your twisted ‘Charitable Givings’ on me again!”

“Alright.”

Xu Lei nodded with a smile. “Then let’s go to the cabin and I’ll give you a proper Charitable Giving. But you can’t be too loud this time. The soundproofing in here doesn’t seem to be very good.”

With the two Enchantresses in the water, it was difficult for Xu Lei to use his explosives effectively. Although his Magical Power could envelop an Explosive Package, he could only shield an amount equivalent to a few backpacks in size.

But that amount wasn’t nearly enough to kill a Charm Ancestor.

Besides, detonating them this way would be a relative waste of Magical Power.

After all, the enveloping Magical Power would still be dispersed by the explosion.

‘I should just see where those two Enchantresses are headed first. Then I can figure out a way to plant a large amount of explosives somewhere, lure them to the location, and then detonate everything.’

That approach would consume the least amount of Magical Power.

So this time, Xu Lei and Bai Ling hadn’t come out to sea with the intention of killing the two Enchantresses in the water. They just wanted to follow and observe. While keeping an eye on them, they also wanted to see what the creatures were up to.

After that, Xu Lei and Bai Ling turned and went back into the cabin, while the two Human Puppets stood guard outside.

Bai Ling’s clothes fell away, piece by piece, revealing her delicate skin. Then, Xu Lei shed his own clothes, embraced her, and began the Charitable Giving.

「Seven days later.」

They had been at sea for a full seven days.

The two Enchantresses were still traveling, and Xu Lei followed them all the way by boat.

While on the boat, Xu Lei and Bai Ling only ate and drank provisions from Bai Ling’s Qiankun Cloth Bag.

They didn’t eat with the mortal crew members.

After all, their Magical Power was similar to Telekinesis; it offered no resistance to toxins.

To avoid being poisoned by the mortals, they ate only their own food.

Although Xu Lei’s Phoenix True Flame could incinerate toxins, it was still better to avoid ingesting poison in the first place.

Ingesting poison only to burn it away internally was still slightly detrimental to the body.

“Sir, we can’t go any further! That area ahead is the roiling Ghost Realm!”

On this day, the old fisherman ran over to report. “There are too many reefs over there. If the boat gets close, it’ll be smashed to pieces, and we’ll all die! Even if we don’t hit a reef, the sea there is so turbulent the boat could easily capsize!”

“Alright, then you can just drop us off here.”

Xu Lei nodded. “Find a place to stop the boat. Just wait for us nearby. After we’ve finished our business, we’ll return, and then we can all head back together!”

Hearing this, the old fisherman and the other mortal crewmen were all bewildered.

‘What did he mean by that? Leave? And then come back? Out here on the open sea, who could possibly leave the boat?’

“Sir, surely you don’t intend to go into the sea?”

The old fisherman quickly said, “You mustn’t! We’re far from the coastal regions now. The sea here is full of giant, ferocious fish. An ordinary person would become their next meal!”

In response, Xu Lei just smiled. He then took Bai Ling’s hand, stepped onto his Lotus Treasure Fragments, and flew up into the air. They soared off the boat and vanished into the white mist over the sea.
