Star Odyssey

No matter the place, there would never be a lack of people who admired beauty.

In the hearts of countless women in the Spirit Nidus, Yu Shan was the epitof admiration. He treated every woman with gentle kindness, embodying his name: Yu Shan, peerless in the world.[1]

"Are you Yu Shan?" Lu Yin asked. He stood at the bow of the battleship to face Yu Shan directly.

Yu Shan looked at Lu Yin. "And you are…?"

"The Third Boss of the Grandverse Manor. You can callSeventh Bro."

Yu Shan stared at Lu Yin. "And what is your relationship to Senior Yuan Qi?"

Lu Yin smirked. "It seems that you chere without knowing anything at all. Did the High Seraph not tell you?"

Yu Shan loudly proclaimed, "Since ancient times, courtesy is something that should not be ignored. I ask that you to show the proper respect and refer to the High Seraph as 'Lord.'"

Lu Yin chuckled. "He doesn’t deserve it."

Yu Shan shook his head. "Regardless of how Senior Yuan Qi may perceive the current Spirit Nidus, even if he opposes my master, there should be slevel of mutual respect. Your rudeness suggests a lack of upbringing. Arrogance always requires a price to be paid."

Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "A price will be paid, but neither you nor your master are qualified to makepay."

"The Grandverse Manor is protecting criminals. That seems to match your character. I have nothing more to say. I ask that Senior Yuan Qi cout and meet me," Yu Shan called out.

Lu Yin ignored the man and calmly looked around the Hundred Grasses Domain.

Many women appeared behind Yu Shan. Swere able to move through the void on their own, while others were carried along by experts. Their eyes sparkled whenever they looked at Yu Shan, betraying their excitement.

Lu Yin noticed the crowd of followers and was reminded of Ling Que. Could Yu Shang be like Ling Que? That did not seem very likely. Ling Que had hired his cheerleaders, while at least sof the women following Yu Shang possessed an impressive cultivation. It was clear that they were exceptional even among the elites of their generation.

Yu Shan ranked second on the White Spirit List and was the High Seraph’s disciple. On top of that, he had a perfectly chiseled face and was extremely charismatic. He certainly deserved to be admired.

There was no reaction from the battleship as it continued along.

Lu Yin was still staring straight ahead.

Yu Shan persisted. "Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

…

More than ten days passed in this manner. Yu Shan showed no signs of giving up. His attitude and tone of voice never changed, and he never revealed any hint of anger.

Both publicly and privately, members of various factions praised the man. "As expected of Yu Shan. He truly is unmatched in the world. His demeanor is absolutely admirable. Compared to him, Yuan Qi looks quite petty."

"Exactly. He doesn’t even dare to meet with a junior."

"He’s no longer a Seraph. Lord High Seraph is in seclusion, but as soon as he emerges, Yuan Qi will undoubtedly be stripped of his title."

"But the Grandverse Manor is incredibly powerful. Even without Yuan Qi having the title of Seraph, there is no one in the Spirit Nidus who can deal with them unless Lord High Seraph himself takes action."

…

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

"Junior Yu Shan requests to meet Senior Yuan Qi."

…

Old Tao felt his headache getting worse. More and more important individuals were starting to appear, and this went against his preferred lifestyle of being low-profile.

Cai Keqing glanced to the right, at Yu Shan. The Cai family had once done everything possible to betroth her to Yu Shan. Was this the man? He certainly was impressive and elegant.

Lu Yin’s attention turned to the old woman beside the young lady. The old woman was a Spirit Ancestor, which meant that the young woman had impressive backing.

"Xiao Yin, go back," Yu Shan said.

The young woman gritted her teeth. "Brother Yu Shan, they’re being too rude to you! I’m going to teach them a lesson!"

"Yuan Qi, listen up! Today, you will meet Brother Yu Shan! If not, we won’t let this go!"

"Exactly, do you know how many domains all of us here represent?"

"Even Seraph Yi needed to treat us politely. Yuan Qi is about to lose his title as Seraph, so what gives him the right?"

"Cout!"

"Cout!"

Yu Shan repeatedly urged the women to leave, but the more he pressed the matter, the more determined they becto remain in place.

Lu Yin gestured with a hand, and Astral Anura reluctantly stepped forward.

"Go on, Toady."

Astral Anura forced a grin. He wanted to emphasize that he was Astral Anura, not Toady, but the cold glint in Lu Yin's eyes made the toad hold back. If he could not vent his frustrations on Lu Yin, he would vent them elsewhere instead.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out as a woman turned pale and fled in horror.

"A toad! There's a toad!"

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Grandma, getaway from here!"

"Brother Yu Shan, there's a toad! A toad!"

"Ah!"

Rarely was there a woman who would be unafraid of the toad. Regardless of whether one was an ordinary human and a cultivator, the more that they admired beautiful things—like Yu Shan—the more they were intimidated by grotesque creatures, like a toad.

Although the women's reactions had been expected, Astral Anura was still offended. Was he really that disgusting? His pride was hurt. After all, his great-grandmother had always told him that he was adorable.

The people watching were speechless.

Everyone who had witnessed what had happened had no idea how to react.

"Is this really how they’re going to handle things?"

Cai Keqing's expression shifted slightly. Even she had felt slightly nauseated. Just imagining a toad landing on her had been enough for her to immediately retreat into seclusion.

Still, the Grandverse Manor had not been as ruthless as she had expected.

In order to deal with someone like Yu Shan, it was important to stay grounded. The more down to earth a person was, the more helpless Yu Shan would feel.

The incident with the women had been nothing more than a farce, but Yu Shan had been left in an awkward position. After all, those women had stood up for him, and they had all just been scared off. If he did nothing, the magnanimous reputation that he had built would collapse.

Yu Shan met his gaze. "Enter on my own?"

"I’m standing right here. If you’re able, then enter on your own. This is the rule of cultivators. If you have the strength, then you can enter."

The people watching fell silent. There were countless rumors regarding this Third Boss. Sclaimed that he was Yuan Qi’s disciple, while others claimed that he was a direct descendant. There were more who believed that he was actually an ancient, legendary powerhouse from a forgotten past, someone whose cultivation was close to that of the High Seraph himself. These various rumors had already made Lu Yin famous in the Spirit Nidus.

In fact, there were times when there were more discussions about him than even Yuan Qi.

In contrast, no one spoke about Old Tao, the Second Boss, at all. He was regarded as quite average. While his cultivation was decent, he seemed completely unremarkable.

Additionally, Old Tao’s connection to the incident in Beacon City had been intentionally or unintentionally suppressed by the Daquan Domain.

Lu Yin said, "I have a question for you."

"I also have a question for you."

"Do you regret the fall of the Hundred Grasses Domain?"

Lu Yin answered with a smile, "If I die, there will be no answer to give."

Yu Shan’s eyes suddenly flared. "Fine! If that’s the case, then even if it costsmy life, I will put an end to this matter. The Spirit Nidus is surrounded by threats from outside. It cannot fall into chaos."

1. Yu Shan (御善) translates to "Master of Kindness" or "Lord of Virtue," reflecting his gentle and admirable nature. ☜
