Chapter 291 - 288 Heavenly Cloud Island
"Who are you, and how did you end up half-dead, drifting in this Storm Sea?" In the cabin’s room, a beautiful woman clad in a white robe stared at the man before her, Ye Xuan, and inquired.
After being woken up, Ye Xuan swallowed several Healing Pills, and his internal injuries finally recovered somewhat. However, he had only regained about thirty to forty percent of his strength; he would need a considerable amount of time to fully recover.
After all, his injuries were not mild. Previously, he had been injured by an Octopus Monster, and before he had time to heal, he was swept into the storm vortex, which severely battered him. Drifting for five long days, his injuries had worsened continuously.
"I am a stray demon from the Human Clan territory, wishing to cross the Storm Sea, but unexpectedly, I was attacked by a Sea Beast. My ship was destroyed, and I ended up thrown into the sea, drifting to this place. I am eternally grateful for the lady’s life-saving grace," Ye Xuan quickly came up with a response.
"Human Clan territory?"
The woman in the white robe’s beautiful eyes flickered but she didn’t say much. It wasn’t unusual for powerful demons from the Human Clan territory to exist. Stray demons were those who didn’t belong to any forces or tribes and cultivated alone.
"Don’t thank me so soon. I didn’t save you for nothing," the woman in the white robe said with a glint in her eye, her gaze sharp as she stared at Ye Xuan, "Since you are a stray demon, consider it repayment for saving your life. From now on, you will be a guard by my side, how about that?"
"Guard?"
Ye Xuan was taken aback, then his brows furrowed slightly. He had to admit, the woman in the white robe was clever, seemingly recognizing his potential and trying to enlist him as a guard to win him over. If it were him, he might do the same.
"Yes, I am the daughter of the Island Master of Heavenly Cloud Island. Our Heavenly Cloud Island is also one of the major Third Grade forces in the surrounding seas. If you become my guard and perform well, naturally, you’ll have great potential for development," the woman in the white robe nodded.
"I’m sorry, but I can’t be your guard," Ye Xuan replied without hesitation, rejecting her offer. If he were just an ordinary stray demon, he might have accepted her recruitment, but he wasn’t. His goal was Sky Demon Mountain, and he didn’t have spare time to waste elsewhere.
