Having eaten and drunk his fill, Gu Qingfeng felt somewhat weary again.
"Alright, wine and food are done. You all keep drinking. This master needs to go back and sleep some more."
He stood up, stretched lazily, and prepared to return for another nap.
"Kid, we're just getting started! You're not drinking anymore?"
Seeing Gu Qingfeng about to leave, the Old Daoist looked displeased. "This old Daoist finally found someone he can chat with. How can you just leave? Come, come! Sit back down and keep drinking. Such fine weather—what a waste to sleep! Since we two hit it off so well, we should chat more."
"You're not a woman. What's there for this master to drink with you?" Gu Qingfeng glanced at the Old Daoist disdainfully. "You might feel we hit it off, but this master doesn't. In this master's life, I only hit it off with beauties."
"Hey! Your words are so unpleasant! You're not a woman either, yet this old Daoist still drinks with you! Besides, isn't there a little lady sitting right beside you? What? One isn't enough, you want two? I heard there are quite a few courtesans on this ship. Want this old Daoist to call a couple over for you?"
"The courtesans on this ship can't compare to Sister Yunyan."
Gu Qingfeng couldn't be bothered to banter with this Old Daoist. He raised his hand and hooked Yunyan Fairy's chin, smiling. "Big sister, want to accompany this master to sleep for a bit, and maybe have a little fun on the side?"
Yunyan Fairy simply let Gu Qingfeng hook her chin. Her cold, beautiful face showed no emotional expression from start to finish, and her lovely eyes were silent and still as she gazed at Gu Qingfeng. After a moment, she softly replied with one word: "Alright."
"Then let's go."
Gu Qingfeng extended his hand with a gentlemanly demeanor, and Yunyan Fairy also placed her slender, jade-like hand in his.
However.
Just as Yunyan Fairy reached out her hand, Gu Qingfeng suddenly exerted force, pulling her into his embrace. Supporting her slender waist, he lifted Yunyan Fairy into his arms.
"Everyone, enjoy your drinks slowly. This master will take his leave now, hahaha!"
Amidst the crowd's incredulous stares, Gu Qingfeng carried Yunyan Fairy and left the deck.
Witnessing this scene.
Everyone could hardly believe their eyes.
They even wondered if this was an illusion.
Watching Gu Qingfeng carry Yunyan Fairy away right before everyone's eyes, all their hearts were screaming inwardly.
Screaming about whether Yunyan Fairy had been bewitched or if this guy had fed her some kind of love potion.
The cold Yunyan Fairy had rejected Mo Baiyu, who bore the Immortal Path Edict Fate, yet accepted an invitation from this guy whose status as a Superior Man was unknown—this alone was beyond their comprehension.
And this guy not only openly flirted with Yunyan Fairy but also got handsy with her, utterly shameless.
Now it was even worse.
He actually asked Yunyan Fairy, in front of everyone, to accompany him to sleep, and even to...
Even to have a little fun?
What made everyone even more shocked was that Yunyan Fairy had just agreed.
What did this mean?
Yunyan Fairy would not only drink with him but also sleep with him?
And engage in that kind of fun with him?
Heavens!
What had happened to Yunyan Fairy?!
Not to mention the others on the deck who couldn't understand, even the Old Daoist present was stunned speechless by this scene.
Others might not know Yunyan Fairy's identity, but he knew she was a genuine Demon Monarch.
And not just any Demon Monarch, but one with extremely formidable strength and fearless demeanor.
Truly formidable and fearless.
Because the Old Daoist wasn't meeting Yunyan Fairy for the first time. Not only was it not the first time, but the two had also clashed before. Moreover, he had personally witnessed Yunyan Fairy slaughtering Immortals from an Immortal Realm and had seen her severely injure an Immortal King. It was precisely for this reason that he had been following Yunyan Fairy.
He also couldn't understand why someone so powerful, fearless, and daring enough to kill an Immortal King would be so obedient to this guy?
And.
Just what kind of person was this guy anyway?
Why was he so bizarre?
He seemed no different from a mortal from the mundane world, yet he always gave off a mysterious, strange, and unfathomable feeling?
Was he really one of those legendary Superior Men?
Unclear.
The Old Daoist had lived most of his life and had never seen a Superior Man.
Actually.
He had originally wanted to test Gu Qingfeng, but seeing a Demon Monarch like Yunyan Fairy obey him so readily, the Old Daoist thought it over and ultimately didn't dare make a move.
He was afraid too.
Afraid that Gu Qingfeng might be some ancient powerhouse who had revived and returned.
After all, even the Ruins had collapsed.
Even those great Demon Lords of the Dao like Chi You and Xing Tian, who once swept across heaven and earth, had emerged. What if this damn kid was also someone who came out of the Ruins? That would be a real mess.
Originally, the Old Daoist had wanted to use Immortals like Mo Baiyu to test Gu Qingfeng, but who knew these Immortals would be so timid, one more cowardly than the last. In the end, he could only let it go.
"The Great Old Master truly lives up to his title. His tone is grand enough, his face is grand enough, and his abilities are absolutely grand enough."
Beside him, Yi Shangxing sighed as he watched Gu Qingfeng depart.
"Little guy, are you very familiar with this fellow?"
"Who? You mean the Great Old Master?"
"Yes, him."
"Not familiar. We just met."
"Damn it!" The Old Daoist cursed angrily. "Just now, hearing you call him 'Great Old Master' so affectionately, this old Daoist thought he really was your grandpa! Turns out you didn't even know him before!"
"I never said I knew the Great Old Master."
"Then why were you calling him 'Great Old Master' so affectionately? He's not your grandpa. Why call him that so fondly!"
"Didn't the Great Old Master say it himself? He said his name is Great Old Master—the 'great' as in 'heaven and earth, I am the greatest,' the 'old' as in 'ancestral,' the 'master' as in 'lord of heaven.'"
"He says his name is Great Old Master, so you call him Great Old Master? If he damn well said he was the Emperor of Heaven, what then? Would you call him 'Emperor'?"
"Why not?"
"Shame on you, damn Demon-Monster Child! Your Demon-Monster Child ancestors back in the day were so arrogantly domineering, they didn't even put heaven and earth in their eyes. How come, being Demon-Monster Children, the gap is so huge? You're too damn cowardly!"
"I say, Old Daoist, at best, we're two of a kind. Don't mock me for fleeing fifty steps when you fled a hundred."
"What's wrong with this old Daoist? This old Daoist isn't as cowardly as you, calling him 'Great Old Master'!"
"You're not cowardly? If you're not cowardly, why didn't you make a move earlier? Fine if you didn't dare, but you actually instigated those Immortals to do it. And you still call yourself a senior? What 'exorcising demons and capturing monsters'? May I ask, esteemed senior, if the Great Old Master were a demon or monster, would you dare exorcise him? Would you dare capture him?"
Yi Shangxing's words made the Old Daoist's old face flush with embarrassment, but he still brazenly blustered, "What wouldn't I dare? This old Daoist isn't like you soft, cowardly eggs!"
