Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 592 - 591 Gallbladder Snakeheart Grass

Xiao Yi looked at the towering figure before him in astonishment, "I never expected to meet you here?"

The towering figure was startled.

The robust man pointed at himself, his thick eyebrows and large eyes widening with both curiosity and confusion, "You know me?"

Xiao Yi nodded with a bright smile, "To be precise, I have seen you, but you have not seen me." He paused, then continued, "Do you remember, on one day last year, you were practicing your knife skills in the middle of the Beast Emperor Sea..."

"Beast Emperor Sea? Practicing with a knife?"

The towering figure froze, furrowing his brows slightly, his expression filled with some puzzlement.

He did recall that he had spent some time in the Beast Emperor Sea last year and had gained some insights after a skirmish with a pirate, which led him to hone his knife skills on the surface of the sea.

But he did not remember seeing Xiao Yi at that time.

Xiao Yi continued, "That day, while you were practicing, you deeply moved me, allowing my Martial Tao Realm to advance significantly. At that time, I thought you were from the Beast Emperor City, so I wanted to find you and thank you in person, but I never saw you again..."

This man was the mysterious strong knife-wielder Xiao Yi had seen on his first journey to Beast Emperor City on the way there.

At that time, the man was holding a war knife, standing between the void of heaven and earth.

With his feet on the vast sea and the boundless void above his head,

Wind and thunder interlaced, and thunder roared.

He stood alone with his knife, like a War God battling the heavens.

His knife cleaved through the lightning, his feet stepping on the Azure Sea.

What a spirited and bold sight!

It was also while observing his practice that Xiao Yi gained insights, elevating his Sword Intent, allowing him to wreak havoc in Beast Emperor City.

However, Xiao Yi had never been able to find any news of him.

To think that upon arriving in the chaotic seas, he would encounter him, Xiao Yi bore a radiant smile, stepped back, and cupped his hands, "Xiao Yi of the Great Qian Dynasty has met your excellency. It's a fateful day to meet again, and I would like to present a meeting gift to express my gratitude for the guidance you provided that day!"

As he spoke,

He took out a brocade box.

"..."

The burly man raised his eyebrows, chuckling with a muffled voice, "You are an interesting fellow. I was not aware of you on that day when I practiced with my knife. Moreover, many could see me practicing on the sea. But it was only you who gained insight, which is due to your own fortune and talent, nothing to do with me. There's no need for any thank-you gift!"

"Yeah, our boss doesn't care about that little thing of yours!"

"You should take it back!"

The people around them also let down their guard and spoke up one after another.

Xiao Yi uttered a sound of frustration, helplessly saying, "Please accept this gift, your excellency. It should be as important as life itself to you!"

"As important as life?"

"What item is so precious?"

"A seventh-grade elemental weapon?"

"Or a seventh-grade elixir?"

The warriors on the ship all showed mocking smiles as they spoke.

The burly man frowned, but seeing that Xiao Yi was just steadily watching him, he finally said, "Fine, I want to see what this thing is that is equivalent to my own life!"

Click!

The burly man immediately took the brocade box, and before anyone could get a clear look, he snapped it shut.

"Boss, what exactly is inside this?"

"Let us have a look..." the people around him clamored.

"Shut up!"

The burly man glared fiercely at the crowd, took a deep breath, and fixed his gaze on Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, right? I'll accept this gift, and you don't need to dwell on what happened before. From now on, you are a brother to me, Yue Shanchuan. Just say the word, and I won't hesitate to go through fire and water for you!"

"Then I owe you one, Brother Yue!" Xiao Yi said with a smile, then continued, "Brother Yue, you should go use my gift now! There's no time to delay!"

"Right, right, right..."

Yue Shanchuan nodded repeatedly, then turned to a one-eyed man in the crowd, "Du Long, take good care of my brother Xiao while I'm away. I'll be right back!"

"Don't worry, Boss!"

With a beaming smile, Du Long responded, and only after Yue Shanchuan had left did he drop the smile from his face, sizing up Xiao Yi with his single eye, "Xiao Yi, right? You're from the Great Qian Dynasty?"

Xiao Yi nodded, his expression a mix of a smile and a non-smile, "What advice do you have?"

Licking his lips with a blood-red tongue, Du Long sinisterly said, "I've heard that the Great Qian Dynasty is very wealthy, and with your abilities, your status there must not be low, right? You've given our boss such a valuable gift without even letting us take a look. Don't you think our hands feel a little empty?"

"Haven't you prepared some gifts for us?"

"Prepared what? With so much wealth and generosity, surely you'd hand over your storage ring and let us choose for ourselves!"

"Brothers, shouldn't we thank Lord Xiao for his magnanimity in giving us gifts?"

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, for the gifts…"

The crowd shouted in unison.

They were a group of pirates who had come across Yue Shanchuan by chance; their former leader had been slain by Yue Shanchuan with a single stroke. Under the leadership of their second-in-command, Du Long, they had since pledged allegiance to Yue Shanchuan.

However...

Yue Shanchuan was not at all willing to engage in looting and plundering, and instead was a warrior fanatic, leading them to challenge island after island.

Du Long and his men only pretended to submit.

Furthermore, they were accustomed to unrestrained behavior with no bindings.

How could they endure under Yue Shanchuan's constraints? Hence, from a month ago, they had begun poisoning Yue Shanchuan in secret, expecting the poison to take effect within a few days, but Xiao Yi had unexpectedly appeared.

This forced them to be on guard, fearing that Xiao Yi would disrupt their plans.

In addition,

they were aware that Yue Shanchuan's time was running out, so they no longer felt as constrained. Not wanting to miss the chance with Xiao Yi, who came from the wealthy Great Qian Dynasty, how could they let this fat sheep slip away?

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes at Du Long and the others, grinning, "Aren't you curious what gift I gave to Brother Yue?"

"Heh, what's there to be curious about? Since you so casually gave it away, you must have even more valuable things on you. Kid, stop the nonsense. If you hand over the storage ring willingly, we might spare your life out of respect for the boss; otherwise..." Du Long sneered, producing a silver hook in his hand that lightly caught the railing, scraping it and producing a grating sound.

The others looked fierce, rubbing their hands together in anticipation.

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "What I gave him wasn't some treasure, but simply an antidote for the Gallbladder Snakeheart Grass poison. Why? Have you been poisoned too?"

Gallbladder Snakeheart Grass?

Faces of Du Long and the others changed, looking incredulously at Xiao Yi, "You, you, how could you know about Gallbladder Snakeheart Grass?"

"Not good, it must be that our secret's been discovered!"

"This damned curse must be help that Yue Shanchuan brought in!"

"Brothers, attack, kill him..."

With a ferocious snarl on his face, Du Long roared, and thousands of pirates from several boats swarmed together. Like piranhas smelling blood, they moved towards Xiao Yi in an aggressive throng...
