Luo Kai returned to his cabin. He closed his eyes, lowered his heartbeat, and entered a state of meditation.
After an unknown amount of time, a weak voice came from the door. "Hello, can … can you do me a favor?"
Luo Kai opened his eyes. The girl surnamed Zhang was standing at the door. Her big eyes were filled with awe as she looked at him.
"What is it?"
The girl shyly raised her hand that was still bound. "This rope is made from a kind of dragon's tendon. Ordinary weapons can't cut it. Can you help me cut it?"
"Can't you untie it?"
The girl shook her head. "The people of the Xi family used a method called the Hundred Knot Method. If you don't know the method, you won't be able to untie it.
Luo Kai stood up and looked at her. The black rope on her hand was a bit like a fried dough twist. It looked tangled and complicated. If he wanted to untie it, he would need to spend a lot of effort.
Staring at the black rope, his mind began to calculate like a computer. Compared to the frequency password from before, the so-called Hundred Knots Method couldn't be simpler. In a moment, he figured out the way to untie the rope and reached out to untie it for her.
The girl twisted her wrist and looked at him in surprise. "How do you know the White Hair Method?"
Luo Kai didn't have any intention to speak. He turned around and prepared to go back.
The girl's small face reddened. "I haven't untied the one on my foot."
Luo Kai lowered his head and looked. The young girl was wearing a pair of small leather boots, which made her legs look very slender. He bent down and touched her ankle. It felt very soft, and he couldn't help but gently hold it.
The girl's face reddened even more. Her body trembled.
Luo Kai gently undid it for her. He felt that there seemed to be a slight ripple in his tranquil mind. He returned to the corner and closed his eyes again to calm his somewhat agitated Qi and blood.
"Thank you."
The girl hesitated. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Luo Kai's cold appearance, she couldn't open her mouth. She bent down and picked up the rope on the ground.
On the deck, people were washing the blood. Several sailors were killed. The passenger ship couldn't start. They could only wait here for rescue.
The tall man who attacked first was called Bao Bin, a citizen of Nanzhao. He was a physical warrior who was going to Shang Jing University to study. At this moment, he was talking to the one-armed man.
"Brother, may I know why the Xi Clan wants to capture you?"
The one-armed man hesitated for a moment before sighing, "To tell you the truth, I am the president of the Common Source Association's Thousand Islands Sea Branch, Fu Hong. Those aristocratic families can't tolerate us, so they're going around capturing our members."
Bao Bin was shocked. "Is it the Same Origin Society that represents the common people against the aristocratic families?"
The one-armed man nodded and said, "Yes, our Eastern Continent's Human Race has been oppressed by those farm owners, large merchant groups, and aristocrats for generations. Now, the aristocratic families have monopolized all levels of society. They occupy a huge amount of resources, but they only know how to indulge in luxury and pleasure all day long. If this continues, not only will we, the lower class, be unable to rise up, the entire Human Race will become food for the Ferocious Beasts.
Then, he said in a deep voice, "The purpose of the establishment of the Common Origin Association is to break the monopoly of the aristocratic families and let the human race regain its vitality!"
There were many people on the side. After hearing his words, they all stepped forward and said hatefully, "That's right, if we don't resist, we'll be oppressed for generations to come."
Bao Bin was also furious. "Today's matter proves that those aristocratic families don't care about our lives. In their eyes, we're worse than pigs."
… …
The young girl walked onto the deck. Seeing this, she frowned and shouted, "Big Brother Fu, the injury on your arm hasn't healed yet. You should go rest."
Fu Hong waved his hand and pushed aside the people around him. He walked over and asked in a low voice, "Is that person below?"
"Yes, he is." The young girl's face suddenly turned red for some reason. She stared blankly for a moment before replying.
Fu Hong was extremely good at reading people. All women had a heart that worshipped heroes. The young girl in front of him was still of great use to him, so he couldn't let her be deceived by others. He lowered his voice and said, "This person isn't a good person. He has a body full of skills, but he just watched the Xi family slaughter without doing anything. It's best if we don't have any dealings with him."
The young girl frowned. She wanted to explain but didn't know what to say. She lowered her head and softly said, "Yes." Although she had only interacted with that person for a short while, a strange feeling arose in her heart. That person's expression was cold, but it also seemed to contain a trace of sadness. More importantly, it was a kind of independence from the world, as if he didn't eat the food of the common populace. Our mortal world's struggles probably couldn't enter his eyes at all.
If Luo Kai knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be amazed. A woman's mind was just too sensitive.
… …
When Luo Kai heard the words of the people above him, he silently sighed in his heart. Since ancient times, human civilization had never stopped oppressing and resisting. However, if you fought with an evil dragon for too long, you would also become an evil dragon. If you stared into the abyss for too long, the abyss would stare back.
It was hard for him to calm down today. He stood up, left the cabin, and walked to the back of the ship. He silently looked at the calm sea around him. With a thought, specks of light gathered towards him.
"Young friend Luo, would you mind coming over for a chat?" Su Chengbo's voice rang in his ears as an exquisite yacht sailed over from the distant sea.
Luo Kai opened his eyes. He didn't think that they would meet again so soon. After a slight hesitation, he stood up and jumped into the sea. Waves quickly gathered under his feet and surrounded him as he walked towards the yacht. He had accidentally seen the Seafolk use the technique of treading on waves. Now, with a thought, he directly used it.
On the passenger ship, everyone saw this incredible scene. The girl thought of something and said in surprise, "He … he is also a Water Elementalist!"
On the other side of the yacht, Xi Jinghui was also shocked. He felt that the surrounding water elements had obviously become more active. This was a phenomenon that would only happen when there was a Water Elementalist nearby. Although they were Physique Masters who had been injected with water energy, they could also control the water flow. However, they couldn't be as graceful as the kid in the sea. He asked Tuoba Ye, who was beside him, "This kid is also a Water Elementalist?"
Tuoba Ye said with envy, "Yes, he is so f * cking handsome."
Luo Kai jumped onto the yacht and looked at the three Physique Masters on the deck. He cupped his hands and said, "Hello everyone."
Su Chengbo smiled and greeted, "Haha, little friend Luo, please take a seat. The day before yesterday, I said that we would meet again if fate brought us together. I didn't think that fate would come so quickly."
Tuoba Ye sat in front of Luo Kai and casually poured a glass of wine for him. He said, "Haha, we didn't know each other until we fought. Kid, you should at least introduce yourself."
Luo Kai hadn't drunk for a long time. He couldn't stand the smell of wine. He didn't have any desire for food that could satisfy his appetite. However, he missed alcohol and cigarettes very much. He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp. He smacked his lips and said, "My name is Luo Kai. I don't have anything else to say. I am just an idler in the wilderness."
Tuoba Ye said with dissatisfaction, "You should at least tell us which generation of Luo Guangyuan's descendant you are."
Luo Kai asked curiously, "Who is Luo Guangyuan?
What does he have to do with me? "
The other three couldn't help but be shocked. Aristocratic families like them were extremely respectful to the first generation of ancestors. Normally, they wouldn't dare to call out their names.
Xi Jinghui said doubtfully, "Are you really not a descendant of North Garrison Prince Luo's family?"
Luo Kai came to his senses and said with a smile, "I am really not a member of the Luo family. My surname is only Luo."
"Then where did your Fearless Body come from?" Tuoba Ye continued to ask.
"What Fearless Body?"
"It's the technique you used to transform into a giant."
Luo Kai said helplessly, "I don't know why I can transform into a giant. Maybe it's because my body changed when I pushed my strength to the maximum."
