Chapter 972 - 383: Corpse Hiding Palace, Special Grade Corpse Storage
"Big Tadpole, how do you summon vehicles?"
"We shouldn’t just be waiting, right? If we’re late, we might miss out..."
GuaGua, like a little child out on a field trip, chirped a flurry of questions.
Suddenly, it discovered a hidden tombstone at the edge of the coral stone.
The epitaph was written in the language of the ancient Fish People.
GuaGua could only recognize most of it and quickly urged Big Tadpole to translate it in full.
"West Sea Waiting Station, one vehicle on average per month..."
"Boarding requires a payment of several Spiritual Treasures, the direction cannot be specified, and one can apply to disembark at other waiting stations..."
"Of course, if the guest holds a prestigious status, they may touch their token to this stone, directly summoning a luxurious sedan. Within three days, a dedicated person and beast will look after you, with no extra charges, to assist your pleasant journey..."
After Ye Hanjun translated, he pondered for a moment, took out a secret talisman, and slapped it onto the tombstone.
An odd ripple emanated, and the entire piece of coral stone started buzzing and vibrating, as the calm surrounding seawater began to churn wildly.
Not too far away, fish were playing freely.
Sensing the peculiar disturbance, they all fled far away, no longer daring to approach.
"Let’s wait patiently."
Ye Hanjun pinched GuaGua’s chin, then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and rested.
Ye Liuying followed his lead, sitting beside him and taking a brief rest as well.
GuaGua nodded its head, croaked once, and abruptly transformed into a palm-sized stone, imitating the others in their motionlessness.
...
...
"Woo——toot toot toot——"
The blast of a horn broke the silence; from afar, a beam of light descended, accurately targeting the coral stone.
Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying immediately opened their eyes.
Following the light, they saw a giant seahorse, at least over 150 meters tall, adorned with bells all over its body.
It moved at an impressive Speed, and with a gentle flick of its curled tail, it quickly enlarged from a blue dot in their view to the size of a fist.
With another flick, the blue filled most of their eyesight, arriving in front of them and halting to a stop.
"A sightseeing seahorse? Of the Shining World rank?"
Surprise colored Ye Liuying’s features.
In her understanding, this species was exceedingly rare, struggling even to reach the level of Unlimited Foetus—let alone Shining World Fetus, which was somewhat unbelievable.
"Distinguished guests, I am fully responsible for this journey,"
"You may call me ’Ocean Knight’; that’s my Authority, and I am delighted to serve you."
At the position of the sightseeing seahorse’s belly button, an opening formed, from which a fleshly staircase extended downwards.
A middle-aged man, looking every bit the part of a steward with a tie and neatly groomed hair, stood with one hand behind his back and the other on his chest, impeccable in his manners.
"We’re headed to ’Corpse Burrow’; how long will it take to get there?"
"Corpse Burrow... Is that where the Dragon Lady is holding the ’Peculiar Corpse Appreciation Meeting’?"
"Exactly," Ye Hanjun nodded in confirmation.
The B-rank Ocean Knight, having cultivated to the 8th rank, thought seriously before answering in an orderly manner:
"At the earliest, about half a month."
"Should there be any mishaps, it will be no longer than a month, at most."
"Then we shall trouble you, sir."
Ye Hanjun displayed the West Sea secret talisman, and the pupil of the Ocean Knight tightened slightly, his attitude becoming even more respectful:
"It’s actually the highest grade of token..."
"In nearly a thousand years of service, the number of times I’ve been summoned to transport Saints can be counted on one hand..."
Ye Hanjun smiled without correcting the other’s address.
With Dual Authority in his possession, and one of his Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits being a Supreme Saint Embryo, it was inevitable for him to exude a trace of the aura of those of higher status.
If, on the contrary, he did not emit an aura and deliberately reined it in,
Even if he himself was only of the 8th Rank, in the eyes of others, he would appear enigmatically profound and unfathomably deep, easily leading to an underestimation of his level.
"Please, senior," the Ocean Knight gestured for them to proceed into the belly pathway, with Mu Shoucong entering first.
No sooner had the front foot stepped in, with GuaGua reverting to its original shape, than it excitedly stirred.
The sightseeing seahorse—strictly speaking, wasn’t skilled in combat!
Not only did it look fancy and beautiful externally, its abdominal space could also accommodate numerous creatures.
Especially after being decked out with three or five paintings, six or seven strands of jewelry, and nine or ten bottles of flowers, it became filled to the brim with a cozy charm!
What’s more, from the outside looking in, the seahorse appeared fleshy.
From the inside looking out, the skin seemed transparent, ensuring that not a single underwater scene was missed.
"This is awesome!"
"It’s really awesome!"
GuaGua, pressing its small hands against the transparent wall, wore a face full of amazement.
Of course, it was mostly thrilled for another reason.
It possessed "Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations", allowing it to remember and mimic any creature it had seen and to explore their physiological structure.
Although the sightseeing seahorse was of the Shining World Great Completion rank, one level higher than it,
After discerning the core essence, the most it would have was slight flaws when transforming; not a significant issue.
"Then, I will focus on driving the mount; please make yourselves comfortable," the Ocean Knight said with a faint smile, then suddenly turned into a puddle of water and merged into the interior of the sightseeing seahorse.
With a "whoosh," the seahorse shot forth.
Under the protection of its Ability, it exhibited a Speed that could rival agile attack-type Fond Spirits.
Inside, however, Ye Hanjun, Ye Liuying, and Mu Shoucong did not experience any jolting, as if they were firmly rooted like a rock, as solid as a fortress.
"No wonder it’s VIP treatment; doesn’t this deserve a five-star rating?"
Collapsing comfortably onto a sofa, Mu Shoucong stretched languidly.
Then, exhaling deeply, it kicked up its leek-like legs and began plucking the sprouts growing on them.
Being in the water, this was the one inconvenience.
Previously, it wasn’t an issue if it didn’t tend to them for half a month, but now, if left for a day, shoots would cover its body, and the itchy sensation was unbearable.
