Chapter 599: A Beautiful, Unforgettable Woman

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Faced with the unreasonable fees imposed by The End of All Things, many people had no choice but to pay.

If they decided to leave, there was no way to get a refund for their tickets.

Moreover, many of them were representing their respective territories on their way to the Chaos Stone Island for trade.

They had their own goals and also had the backing of their respective factions, so paying a bit extra in spirit stones was not a big concern.

It was precisely because of this that the members of The End of All Things felt that they had the upper hand.

Jiang Hao stood in line and observed as people ahead paid spirit stones. He didn’t pay too much attention to it.

Most of these people were carrying simple storage treasures. After some inspection, they were allowed to board the ship.

Jiang Hao saw a figure in a black robe. He felt that the woman in the robe looked familiar. From the familiar aura, he guessed it must be Mi Lingyue.

‘Why would someone like her go to Chaos Stone Island?’ Jiang Hao couldn’t help but wonder. However, he didn’t think too much of it.

Meeting her was actually a good thing since he had a question that he wanted to ask. But it wasn’t urgent at the moment.

He turned his attention to the two attendants collecting money. Their auras didn’t seem particularly powerful. They were only at the Golden Core Realm.

In the eyes of these people, Golden Core Realm cultivators might not be considered strong, but they had the power to control everyone because they were members of The End of All Things.

That meant that The End of All Things wasn’t easy to deal with. At least, this ship proved that.

This ship represented that organization’s trade vessel, and it was reasonable for them to be cautious.

Furthermore, most people had their own motives for going to Chaos Stone Island and didn’t want any unnecessary complications.

Soon, it was Jiang Hao’s turn. The man in front of him seemed to be in a difficult situation.

“Um, I only have 3,800 spirit stones. Can you make an exception, fellow disciple?” the man asked in a low voice.

“Not enough spirit stones? Why are you boarding the ship then?” said the sharp-nosed attendant coldly.

“Two hundred? Does being short by two hundred mean you want us to let you in for free? Where do you get the nerve to ask us that?” the sharp-nosed attendant said.

“No. I didn’t mean that.”

“If you didn’t mean that, then pay the complete amount or get off the ship.”

“I’ll cover for him,” Jiang Hao said suddenly. He handed over two hundred spirit stones. “We’re in a hurry. We don’t want just two hundred spirit stones delaying us further.”

“Thank you very much, fellow disciple,” the middle-aged man said in gratitude.

With the issue resolved, the man boarded the ship, and it was Jiang Hao’s turn to come forward.

The two attendants collecting the fees didn’t see any problem. They instinctively reached out their hands to collect the spirit stones.

However, instead of handing over the spirit stones, Jiang Hao snatched two bags of spirit stones from their hands. He kept one bag for himself and handed the other to Hong Yuye.

Then, he walked inside with his group.

The two attendants were astonished and quickly confronted Jiang Hao.

“Stop! What are you doing?” the sharp-nosed attendant asked angrily.

“Accepting your fees. I know that you two are going to suffer a bloody disaster. I’m accepting eight thousand spirit stones in exchange for saving your lives,” said Jiang Hao calmly.

Hong Yuye counted the spirit stones in her hand.

“Are you playing a joke on us?” the sharp-nosed attendant asked in a low voice. Others looked over and found that someone was asking for money in return from these attendants.

Even if they did give the money, they would still have to disembark.

It wasn’t worth it.

“Do you think I took your spirit stones for nothing?” Jiang Hao smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s a fair exchange. I took the spirit stones, and I will naturally do my part.”

“This ship is ours. Here, we are the ones collecting money. Who gave you the authority to collect money from us? Who even are you?” the sharp-nosed attendant asked.

“Return the spirit stones, or you’ll have to kneel and apologize. Otherwise, we won’t let this slide,” he said threateningly.

Jiang Hao returned the spirit stones.

Just as the attendant took the pouches back, a blade flashed and struck the attendant.

This startled everyone, except Jiang Hao, who just shrugged. “I told you I was protecting you from a disaster.”

The crowd was speechless.

Suddenly, Jiang Hao turned to the other attendant. “Would you also like my protection?”

The attendant was dumbfounded. He knew these people were not weak, but no one dared to act so brazenly here. Didn’t he want to go to Chaos Stone Island?

The incident quickly caught the attention of the ones inside the ship, and an elderly man appeared before Jiang Hao.

“Sir, you’re quite bold,” the elderly man said.

“Not as bold as you,” Jiang Hao said.

“I wonder which faction you belong to?” the old man asked.

Jiang Hao opened his fan and revealed the words there: “Smiling San Sheng.”

“Smiling San Sheng?” The old man was surprised, but his face darkened. “If I’m not mistaken, you’re acting recklessly even as a member of The End of All Things.”

“What?” Jiang Hao was puzzled. “Since when did The End of All Things unite?

We only share a common goal. We don’t have to chummy up with each other.”

“Even so, you killed someone under our jurisdiction. Don’t you think you need to explain?” the old man said coldly.

“Do I need to?” Jiang Hao retorted with a smile.

The old man frowned. He was considering whether to take action.

Eventually, he chose not to. “I can overlook it because you are a member of The End of All Things. However, this woman must pay the required amount of spirit stones. I hope you won’t make things difficult.”

Jiang Hao stood there and looked like he was deep in thought. “It’s not impossible, but I’ve recently suffered an illness.”

“What does your illness have to do with me?” the old man asked.

“My illness is related to this woman. After I saw her once, I was unable to forget her. If I don’t see her even for a day, I go mad,” Jiang Hao said and smiled at the old man. “If my sickness surfaces, how many spirit stones would you offer in compensation?”

The old man met his gaze.

Jiang Hao smiled as though he was highly amused.

The surrounding crowd was wary. They felt that these two people might end up fighting.

In the end, the old man gave in. He snorted and turned away. “Arrange accommodation for them. I hope you won’t cause any trouble during this period. Otherwise, even if you’re capable, you’ll end up dead by my hands.” Jiang Hao smiled. However, he quickly noticed the sidelong glances of others.

For a moment, his heart sank.

He had lost himself a bit in the previous encounter.

Now that they had successfully boarded the ship, all that was left was to wait quietly for the journey to Chaos Stone Island.

He wondered if they would encounter trouble along the way.

After all, there were many strong individuals here, and even with his current abilities, he couldn’t handle them all.

Fortunately, Hong Yuye was with him. In case of a major mishap, she would also take action.

He needed to talk with Mi Lingyue.

He wanted to ask about something Xing had told him before.

By doing so, he might exchange the information he might get from her with Chi Tian’s whereabouts from Liu.

If he had some time to himself later, he would pay her a visit..
