Upon boarding the Apple Tree, Yi Shuihan was assigned a luxurious room of 100 square meters. Even in the Apple Tree fleet, such a room was exceptional.
The Tree is considered the best, with about 10 people on board. Those who can live there are either very rich or very powerful. The tickets are designed so that ordinary people from Maple Leaf Star can work for ten years.
However, for Yi Shuihan, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem, so it is normal for him to be able to stay in the most luxurious room.
If Yi Shuihan hadn't been unaware of the way to the Demon Star, he probably wouldn't have even been able to build a spaceship. The Galo Star Region strictly controls planetary coordinates, and only semi-official spaceships like the Apple Tree possess the coordinates of the Demon Star.
Besides the amenities in the deluxe rooms, the other services are also excellent. For example, there are girls from various ethnic groups who can accompany guests while they sleep, free food, the option to request one stopover on the spaceship, and even a small spaceship specially arranged outside the deluxe room area so that these distinguished guests can be arranged to escape immediately in case of an accident.
Declining the decision that others on the ship considered a great beauty, Yi Shuihan sat quietly by the window and enjoyed her meal.
The reason it was his own food and not the food on the spaceship was because the food on the spaceship was really not good. It might be very nutritious and the presentation might not be bad, but the taste was not flattering. It was at most the level of a small restaurant on Earth, which made it impossible for Yi Shuihan, whose taste had long been very picky, to swallow.
Yi Shuihan's room was the best among rooms of the same level, because you could see the universe and starry sky from the window.
"In terms of food and entertainment, this world is really not that great. It's not as good as the Saint Seiya world. At least that world had some comics and movies. But maybe it's because the place I live in is relatively backward. Other places might have real high technology."
Aside from enjoying delicious food, Yi Shuihan couldn't find any other form of entertainment. There was a casino on the spaceship, but for Yi Shuihan...
He said that thing was too simple, and that he shouldn't bully the weak.
Besides the first place, another popular spot on the spaceship is the training ground. Here, training doesn't refer to practicing internal energy or cultivating magic, but rather to the simple and brutal tempering of the physical body.
Even the strongest among them weren't at the Bronze level, so Yi Shuihan felt there was absolutely no need to go to this training ground.
So, Yi Shuihan really had nothing to do. Fortunately, his portable world was truly portable. Yi Shuihan casually set up a barrier so that he could know when someone came and then enter his portable world. He closed his eyes and sat on the sofa as if he were sleeping.
If you don't fully enter, you'll come out back in the same spot. Yi Shuihan would never enter with only a distraction.
"What's wrong, my husband?"
Cai Yan, who was whispering sweet nothings to Yi Shuihan, noticed that Yi Shuihan suddenly paused and asked gently.
"Something happened outside, I'll go out and take a look."
After a farewell kiss, Yi Shuihan's spirit returned to its original form. As for why a spirit could kiss, that's not something I'll explain further.
"So what happened?"
When Yi Shuihan opened her eyes, she found that there was a loud knocking on her room door, and the person outside seemed very impatient.
Just as Yi Shuihan was about to open the door, before she could even get there, the door was slammed open, and a group of people rushed in.
These people all looked at Yi Shuihan with surprise, then scrutinized him.
Chapter 899, Anxi? Then let her rest in peace!
Anxi? Then rest in peace!
Anyone would feel annoyed if their room was broken into and a group of unrelated people walked in, especially if these people looked at the room's owner with complete indifference.
Yi Shuihan's face darkened instantly. He made a decision: if these people didn't give him a satisfactory reason, he would have to pay with his life.
"Young Master Anzai, I already told you there are already people here, you see..."
A chubby man with a round face stepped out from the crowd. He first gave Yi Shuihan an apologetic look, and then spoke to the young master who was leading the group, his tone somewhat humble.
Yi Shuihan, the fat man, was the captain of the Apple Tree. He was the highest-ranking person on the ship, second only to the legion member who was specifically assigned to guard it. Yet, he was bowing and scraping before this young master. Clearly, this young master was either a real strongman or had a powerful backer.
Yi Shuihan saw through the young master's true nature at a glance, knowing that although he looked respectable, he was not strong at all, and was even weaker than the fat captain. Clearly, he had a powerful backer.
"So what if someone's there? Tell him to get lost. I've got my eye on this place."
Anxi sized up Yi Shuihan and, realizing that Yi Shuihan was not the unapproachable character he remembered, immediately spoke arrogantly.
"But…"
The fat captain was in a dilemma. After all, doing so would completely destroy the Apple Tree's reputation. People had already bought tickets, and it wouldn't be right to kick them out halfway through the trip. Most importantly, the fat captain also secretly didn't want to offend Yi Shuihan. This feeling came inexplicably, but he chose to believe him.
"But what but? If you say another word, you're no longer the captain. You're a dog. If I don't give you a hard time, you'll really think you're someone important."
Anzai looked impatient, feeling that he had been provoked.
The fat captain was in a dilemma. He didn't want to offend Yi Shuihan, but he also couldn't afford to offend the man in front of him. This young master Anxi had quite an extraordinary background. His father, An Nan, was a captain in the combat legion, holding a very high position. There were only a dozen or so people in the entire Galo Starfield who could make An Nan bow down, and he was clearly not among them.
"You guys wait a minute."
At this point, Yi Shuihan roughly understood the reason for the matter based on their conversation and felt that he could make his presence known.
"What are you waiting for? Can't you see that I've taken a liking to this place? Hurry up and get out of here. You really don't know what's good for you. Throw him out."
Anzai waved his hand and gave orders to his subordinates around him.
"Yes."
Several oddly-looking aliens, who were not exactly handsome, took action towards Yi Shuihan.
The fat captain's expression changed upon seeing this, but he ultimately stepped in front of Yi Shuihan.
"Young Master Anxi, could you please give me some time? I will definitely make this guest vacate the room."
The fat captain was surprisingly assertive this time.
Anxi frowned slightly, glanced at the fat captain with displeasure, but did not continue to speak. His men knew the young master's temper, so they did not continue to attack Yi Shuihan and stopped there.
The fat captain breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, then turned to Yi Shuihan and said...
"This young master Anxi's father is Annan, the captain of the legion. He's a big shot. Offending him won't be good for any of us. Why don't you give up this room first, and I'll arrange another room for you. Although it's not as good as this one, it's still definitely a luxury room. Plus, I'll refund your ship ticket. What do you think?"
The fat captain was quite generous, pointing out Anxi's powerful connections and offering compensation for the lost tickets. Most people would have agreed.
However, Yi Shuihan shook his head slightly and said in an extremely calm tone.
"I don't know who Annan is. Even if Luo Mo came, he wouldn't let me leave this room. He ruined my good mood. Only death can atone for my sins. Do you choose to commit suicide or should I do it?"
"... "
A brief silence fell over the room. The fat captain stared in shock at Yi Shuihan, who was completely stunned by his words.
Who is Luo Mo? He is the true ruler of this star field, possessing the power of life and death. It can be said that his word carries more weight in this star field than that of ancient emperors. Ancient emperors had to be careful when killing someone; they couldn't kill without cause, otherwise they would face backlash from their subordinates.
There was turmoil, but Luo Mo was different. His powerful strength made him fearless. Even if he slaughtered a planet, no one dared to say anything. He alone could suppress the entire star field.
"Hahaha, what did I just hear? He actually said that even Lord Luo Mo couldn't let him leave this room. Turns out he's a crazy madman who doesn't know his place. Kill him immediately! Disrespecting Lord Luo Mo is a capital offense. Killing him would be a meritorious deed."
Anxi laughed loudly.
This time, even the fat captain didn't dare to speak up for Yi Shuihan anymore, and silently moved a few steps to the side.
"Looks like you've chosen to let me do it! Fine, consider it as swatting a few flies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Anxi's entire body burst into flames, starting from his feet and slowly burning upwards. What was even more terrifying was that he was completely unaware of it.
“Young Master Anxi…you…”
Someone pointed at Anxi, trembling, with a look of terror on their face.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Anxi was completely baffled, but when he looked down, he realized that half of his body was gone, and he finally understood why.
"Ah! What's wrong with me? Help me, please! No, I don't want to die, my father is Annan..."
A bloodcurdling scream erupted, and Anzai spoke incoherently.
"Anxi, rest in peace!"
Yi Shuihan's voice rang out, and only then did the others realize that Yi Shuihan was behind it all, their eyes filled with...
It was filled with terror.
“You…you actually killed Young Master Anxi! Lord Annan will not let you off! You also disrespected Lord Luo Mo! You…you are doomed!”
"Whether I live or die, you won't be able to see it anyway."
The same thing happened to the remaining people; after a few moments, only Yi Shuihan and the fat captain remained in the room; not a speck of dust remained among the others.
Chapter 900, Annam Arrives
Annan's arrival
"You can go now. Tell someone to fix the door while you're at it, or maybe I should just do it myself!"
With a simple spell, the damaged part of the door was completely restored to its original state, and at that moment, our fat captain walked out in a daze.
"boom!"
The sound of the door closing startled the fat captain, who finally regained some of his senses.
Turning back to look at the tightly closed door with complicated emotions, the fat captain desperately hoped that everything before was an illusion and that Young Master Anxi had not died inside.
“Young Master Anxi is dead. Lord Annan will definitely not let me off the hook. Even the people on this ship will die because of this. I must make arrangements for his funeral immediately.”
The fat captain took out his communicator and dialed his home phone number.
After a few beeps, a soft, gentle voice came through the communicator.
"Is that your husband?"
"Yes, it's me. Don't say anything now, just listen to me. There's money I've hidden in the closet at home. Take it quickly, then take your daughter and go to your brother's place. I probably won't be coming back. If you find life difficult, you can find another man."
"What exactly happened to my husband...?"
After hanging up the communication, the fat captain felt completely exhausted. He stood there for a while before he felt his strength return. He walked blankly to his captain's cabin and reported the whole story. Only after receiving his superior's assurance that his wife and children would not be implicated did he feel relieved and quietly await his death.
Compared to the fat captain, Yi Shuihan was much calmer. Killing Anxi was nothing to him, and he almost forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
The spaceship sailed slowly through the universe, and the next few days were peaceful until the sixth day.
"Huh? Someone's here."
Yi Shuihan, who was eating, suddenly looked up. He sensed that about a hundred people were approaching not far from the spaceship. Even the weakest of these people was stronger than the legionary warrior on the Apple Tree.
"They've come with ill intentions!"
The malice emanating from it could be clearly felt from a great distance.
Under Yi Shuihan's watchful gaze, a spaceship much smaller than the Apple Tree gradually approached, and the Apple Tree stopped after spotting the spaceship.
"What happened? Why did it stop?"
Is there a malfunction?
"Could it be that space pirates have appeared?"
The passengers in the apple tree noticed the situation with the spaceship and began to speculate and shout, a sense of panic spreading throughout the ship.
If the spacecraft company doesn't offer any explanation, it will only make people more anxious.
A few minutes later, the small spaceship finally made contact with the Apple Tree.
A group of minotaurs dressed in red combat suits brutally stormed into the Apple Tree. Without saying a word, they immediately began a massacre.
"You...you are Captain Annan's men, why are you killing us? We haven't done anything to offend Captain Annan!"
Someone recognized these people and shouted wildly, but what awaited him was an energy wave that caused his body to explode into a rain of blood.
Knowing who killed them, the passengers were filled with despair. Some who had initially wanted to fight back became numb and waited to be killed, no longer able to muster any will to resist.
While the fighting raged outside, Yi Shuihan's room was broken into once again. A man who looked about 8% like Anxi, but was much larger, glared at him with fierce eyes.
"It was you who killed my son Anxi?"
"Who are you? You wouldn't happen to be Anxi's idiot father, would you?"
The murderous aura was like a howling wind, and the entire room grew several degrees colder.
"Ah!" Anan roared, his voice turning into sound waves that shattered everything in the room. "I'm going to kill you in the most cruel way possible."
The huge axe came crashing down, aiming at Yi Shuihan's shoulder.
"How is that possible? He actually took the axe from the Annan captain!"
Exclamations rang out as the soldiers brought by Annan stared in astonishment at Yi Shuihan before them.
"A Bronze 5-star level strength. It seems he held back some strength in that axe blow. Was he trying to kill me too quickly?"
Annan's strength was laid bare in Yi Shuihan's eyes.
"Click."
The axe, which was countless times harder than an alloy, was crushed by Yi Shuihan.
"No wonder he dared to kill; he's got some skills."
Seeing that the axe had been shattered, Annan strangely calmed down. However, Yi Shuihan could feel that the power in his body was constantly gathering, like a volcano about to erupt.
With a whooshing sound, Annan's supernatural power was enveloped in white flames, much to Yi Shuihan's astonishment.
