A great river, flowing from west to east.

On the river, which is so wide that it can not be seen, countless ships of all sizes come and go, including large and bulky transport cargo ships, ferries full of monks, and speedboats produced by the Linglong Treasure Pavilion that can be large, small, flying, and swimming. But most of them are the various ferries to the various piers.

Time has changed, the Yunshan Continent has long evolved from an ancient society to a bizarre modern society, and the monks' clothing, food, housing, transportation, and even communication and entertainment have made great progress, but there is still one thing that will not change: the society is a huge pyramid structure, and most of the monks are still used to running for a living.

Among the shadows of the ship, a huge luxury cruise ship is particularly eye-catching.

Among the monks who traveled to and from the banks of the river on the ferry, there were also observant people, and they had long since discovered that the cruise ship had been slowly anchored on the river for two days, but it had no intention of leaving.

How did the low-ranking monk, who was worried about his livelihood, know that the main family of the cruise ship was holding a three-day and three-night carnival for the coming-of-age ceremony of his young master. And the best part of the carnival duì will be staged on the third night.

The sun sets and the moon rises, and the shadows of boats on the river gradually become scarce. The banquet hall of the luxury cruise ship is neon and fragrant. The male and female monks all untied the magic weapons and magic weapons that they never left on weekdays, changed into beautiful clothes and gorgeous clothes that were only worn on formal occasions, danced the double ballroom dance that swept the entire Yunshan Continent, tasted the elixir and jade liquid brewed with the immortal fruit abundant in Shuomo Lianying and the ice spring water produced by Kunlun Wonderland, and enjoyed the cigar smoke made from the tobacco of the Dangui Toad Palace.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's invite diva-level singer Mei Pianran to sing a song "Joy is Tonight" for us!" The host, dressed in shiny clothes, spoke on the large stage in the center of the ballroom, his gentle and magnetic voice reaching everyone through the array of musical notes.

There was a commotion in the crowd in the ballroom. Mei Pianran, a diva-level singer, has swept the major entertainment charts all year round. But other than that, her identity as a core disciple of the Dangui Toad Palace was even more brilliant and dazzling. There are also many critics who boldly predict that after the end of this Yunshan Dao Conference, some of the twelve immortal masters of the Dangui Toad Palace should go into hiding, and at that time, Mei Pianran is very likely to be promoted to the twelve immortal masters and become another immortal master-level master who is good at music and rhythm attacks.

As a diva-level singer and a master of cultivation, Mei Pianran's appearance is naturally a national color and fragrance. However, there was a sensation in the banquet hall, and the host of this banquet, Ye Zhuoqing, the son of the eighteen-year-old New Breath Realm Lord, did not have the slightest sense of joy. The young man held a cigar cigarette between his slender and white fingers, and in the smoke, his mocking gaze and the corners of his mouth that seemed to be smiling but not smiling loomed. His face was originally very handsome, but for some reason, it looked ...... Even a little irritable.

A girl wearing a palace dress and a light veil was sitting next to Ye Zhuoqing, looking at Ye Zhuoqing with a smile: "Ye Shao, today is your eighteenth birthday, don't you even want to dance?" ”

The girl has a beautiful face, a pair of charming dimples, and her smile is like a spring breeze blowing a hundred flowers, and no one is willing to refuse. But although Ye Zhuoqing knew her intentions, he didn't mean to give her face and invite her to dance. There is an unwritten saying in Yunshan Continent that the first dance a man dances at a coming-of-age ceremony is usually danced with the woman he loves.

Ye Zhuoqing glanced at the girl obliquely: "I used to like to read, and I once read a story about a prince of a small country who went to sea on a steamer and saw a beautiful mermaid princess on the sparkling sea. Then they fell hopelessly in love. Although the prince is a human cultivator, he still bravely crossed the race and fell in love with a mermaid demon at first sight. I love the story. ”

The girl is inexplicably wonderful: what does this have to do with the question she asks?

"Now, you should know the reason why I chose to hold a coming-of-age ceremony on the Tongtian River?" Ye Zhuoqing preached half mockingly, half seriously, "I hope to see my most beloved girl on the water surface of the Tongtian River." Whether she is a human, a demon, or a demon, I will invite her to dance with me for the first time, and I will love her for the rest of my life. ”

The girl was stunned for a moment. She naturally approached Ye Zhuoqing because she was greedy for the power and wealth of the Ye family. But after listening to Ye Zhuoqing's words, she began to deeply doubt Ye Zhuoqing's IQ: Ye Shao shouldn't be a fool, right? He looked so smart, how could he say such childish things?

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's invite the popular little king - Yan Yufei to play a song "Love in the Moonlight" for us!" The host clapped his hands and announced again.

The sensation this time was even more exaggerated than the last time, and even the people on the dance floor who were dancing stopped and screamed in an exaggerated way and looked up at the high platform.

Women are naturally visual animals, so with the development of the times, the Yunshan Continent has already entered the era of male sex. Yan Yufei does not have the background of the core disciples of the Dangui Toad Palace like Mei Pianran, his artistic attainments and immortal cultivation are much lower than Mei Pianran, but his extremely neutral and beautiful appearance makes up for it. Some people in the entertainment industry once sighed and said that if it weren't for the fact that the Qionglin list only included male cultivators above the Yuan Infant stage, Yan Yufei would definitely have a place on it, and the ranking should be quite high. As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar, and many well-known commentators commented that cultivation is a sacred and great thing, how can it be confused with entertainment. But despite this, Yan Yufei's appearance appeal can be seen.

Even Ye Zhuoqing keenly noticed that even the girl who was sitting opposite him and trying to please him was a little obsessed when she heard Yan Yufei's name.

Ye Zhuoqing took a long puff of cigar and sprayed it directly into the girl's face. The girl came to her senses. "Ye Shao, I ......"

"What you're thinking, it has nothing to do with me." Ye Zhuoqing said coldly, "I'm going to go out for a walk and see if the girl I was destined to have arrived." As he spoke, he pushed the chair away.

"Fewer leaves, fewer leaves." The host found Ye Zhuoqing's departure very carefully, and hurriedly chased after him. He hadn't forgotten that this was a coming-of-age ceremony, and the main goal was to please this Young Master Ye.

And the host is a smart person, and he sensitively discovered the reason for Ye Zhuoqing's displeasure: Ye Zhuoqing, who is also a young man and has always had the reputation of a beautiful boy, was actually compared to others! Even if the other party is a popular little king, Ye Zhuoqing, who has always been arrogant, can't tolerate it!

"Ye Shao, it's my fault, I shouldn't have agreed with the words of the third housekeeper and invited Yan Yufei." The host hurriedly said.

Ye Zhuoqing narrowed his eyes slightly, even more displeased. The host self-righteously said the reason why he was unhappy, which made him feel even more embarrassed.

"Come here with your ears." Ye Zhuoqing confessed.

After a while, Yan Yufei finished playing a piano song, and the audience was intoxicated by Yan Yufei's face and piano sound. At this time, the host used the most vivid and sensational words to tell the story about the mermaid demon that Ye Zhuoqing made up, and then greeted loudly: "Friends, let's walk up to the bow of the boat together to witness the love at first sight between Ye Shao and his true daughter!" ”

A huge mirage recorder and several small recording instruments were pushed to the bow of the boat, and all the male and female monks in the audience hugged Ye Zhuoqing and walked onto the bow of the boat. No one listened to Yan Yufei's performance anymore.

This is of course a very rude thing, but the Yunshan Continent has always regarded cultivation as its status, and Yan Yufei's cultivation is too low, and he has no qualifications to care. What's more, at this time, the clever host had already run over, and said a lot of apologies and apologies with an extremely humble expression, and promised to double the reward.

Yan Yufei smiled faintly, said that he didn't care, looked around, packed up the long qin, and walked to the bow of the boat with the host.

The mirage recorder and small recording instrument shone on Ye Zhuoqing's face from all angles, advancing like a close-up, while the surface of the Tongtian River behind him was sparkling and empty, except for the occasional nocturnal boat.

This is all expected by Ye Zhuoqing. He just made up a story and made an excuse. After this lasted for a quarter of an hour, the night view of the Tongtian River was almost visible, and Ye Zhuoqing's heart gradually calmed down. He was actually a person with a sense of proportion, and knew that it was almost time to stop it at this point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you've been waiting for a long time. Looks like my true daughter won't show up tonight. He said to the camera, shrugging.

However, no one paid attention to the steps he had given him. People's eyes widened and widened, looking at somewhere in the river.

"Look, Ye Shao's true destiny has appeared!" Someone shouted.

"Yes, there's a man on the river! Like a woman! She's floating over! Someone pointed into the distance.

Ye Zhuoqing was stunned, and then he also turned around and looked at the river.

The Mirage Recorder empathetically follows his gaze into the camera.

And then everyone was stunned by such a coincidence for a moment.

The Mirage Recorder shows a shimmering image of a man soaking in water slowly drifting upstream, getting closer and closer to the shimmering waves of the wide Tongtian River. People could clearly see that the man's cloth was no longer of its original color, and it was all stained red with blood. The man drifted closer, revealing a head full of messy white hair and goosebumpy skin.

"Ah, it's an old woman." Someone said so.

Everyone could see very clearly that this thing, which I don't know if it was a living person or a corpse, was actually very old. But at the same time, people can see very clearly that judging from the style of the cloth clothes and the physical characteristics of all aspects, she is undoubtedly a woman.
