Out of fear of death, Invest Everything into Health-Chapter 437 - 195: Jiang Sha (Part 3)

Half a month later, the pressure from the collapse of the small world on the large world has fully subsided, and all sorts of energies and the grand paths have resumed their operation.

An exploration ship sailed from afar.

This is a passenger ship meant for sightseeing and leisure, not for adventure or treasure hunting. Thus, it is large in size, sails at a slow pace, and is very stable. Various viewing platforms are built on the ship, making it resemble a small city being carried along.

Witnessing the wonders of the Sea of Eternal Life is a rare opportunity, so the business of sightseeing passenger ships has always been good.

The flag of the seafaring power, Moon-piercing Hall, flaps proudly at the ship’s prow. In the cockpit, the pilot constantly uses various magical items and Divine Techniques to observe the surroundings, ensuring the journey is peaceful and smooth.

Various Cultivators are enjoying the different services on the ship.

On the viewing platform attached to a standalone, high-quality guest room, an elderly caretaker with a kindly face and tranquil gaze holds her long, dark hair with one hand, and with the other hand, she uses a bone comb to gently groom a young girl.

Both are very patient.

Combing hair, fixing it, applying light makeup, straightening clothes.

After dressing the girl beautifully and elegantly, the elderly caretaker pushes her wheelchair, taking the girl out to the viewing platform.

Sunlight falls upon them, and a gentle breeze comes along.

Jiang Sha gently squints her eyes. Sitting gracefully in the wheelchair, she appears serene and gentle, perhaps a young lady of refinement who plays the lute, tends to flowers, teases birds, and reads in her boudoir.

Her eyebrows are like misty smoke, her bright eyes are kind, her nose is like a peak, her upper lip gently curls, and her lower lip is smoothly curved like a pressed string. Yet her lip color is light, making her look a bit lifeless.

"Cough cough cough—"

Suddenly, she starts coughing, and a blush quickly appears on her face, as if she’s intoxicated.

The elderly caretaker, Liu Qingqing, quickly asks, "Why is the Hall Master coughing like this?"

Jiang Sha looks into the distance, her eyes reflecting a strange light.

She chuckles softly, "There is no need to ask every time I cough. It’s just the intense vitality here that’s too much for me."

"Serving the Hall Master closely for over a thousand years, how could I not ask?"

Jiang Sha’s voice is light and ethereal, as if whispering, "Not every question has an answer. Qingqing, you’re aging too fast. You should stay farther away from me..."

Due to old age, Liu Qingqing’s eye sockets have already sunk deeply. Though her eyes still hold some spirit, it is clear they have slowed.

"I’m not afraid of aging, only of dying of old age before seeing the Hall Master stand again."

"You know it won’t happen."

Liu Qingqing laughs, "Who can say for sure? Hall Master, enjoy the breeze. It’s quite gentle at the moment."

Suddenly, Jiang Sha’s eyes light up, "That may not be the case."

After speaking, she raises her left hand, like picking a flower, gently picking a wisp of energy to examine with interest.

Liu Qingqing asks, "Is this... Demonic Qi?" Her pupils contract, "So pure! Has a Demon Lord passed by?"

Jiang Sha’s eyebrows arch, "That child was a bit careless."

"Who?"

"Remember how Ke You Demon Lord died?"

"Killed by a Little Nascent Soul..." Liu Qingqing stops, "Is this wisp of Demonic Qi left by that Little Nascent Soul?"

Jiang Sha softly crushes the Demonic Qi at her fingertips, as if crushing a petal, "If the righteous ones were to find out, it would be quite troublesome." Her smile becomes even more pronounced.

Liu Qingqing asks, "Is the Hall Master helping him?"

Jiang Sha laughs, "He helped me kill Ke You; it’s nothing to help him once in return."

"By rights, he should be considered our enemy."

"All the world is our enemy."

After a while, Liu Qingqing says, "Hall Master, you’ve changed."

"How have I changed?"

"Become wistful and sentimental; before, you didn’t care about these little things at all."

"Perhaps." Jiang Sha begins to cough violently again. Then she softly says, "An old acquaintance has arrived."

Liu Qingqing looks towards the horizon.
