Bab 505: Chapter 501: Target: Poseissi on Sea God's Island! The Boat-Rental Storm!!_1
The next morning, the sky began to turn pale.
Luo Yu stealthily slipped out of Xiaowu's room, leaving behind the slumbering mother and daughter.
This affair couldn't be discovered; otherwise, he would have to prepare to face the wrath… the sanctions of the other women.
When breakfast time came, Luo Yu and the ladies gathered together to share a meal.
Luo Yu was also ready to set off for Sea God's Island.
At the time of farewell, there was no undue sentimentality.
The women only told Luo Yu to take care of his safety and didn't say much else.
Because they all understood that expressing their reluctance at such a time would only make his departure less bearable.
Bi Bidong was well aware that a woman should not be a man's shackle.
All they needed to do was to hold down the fort while he ventured out.
Outside Tiandou City.
Under the watchful eyes of a host of beautiful women, Luo Yu spread his wings and, following the map given to him by Qian Renxue, flew towards the Western Coast.
...
Hanhai City, the largest coastal city.
The shipbuilding industry was thriving, the city was bustling, and there were countless seafood stalls and restaurants.
Here, one could enjoy delicacies unavailable in the inland areas.
Luo Yu's first stop upon arrival wasn't to purchase a ship, but to dine at a luxury seafood restaurant.
He ordered a special serving of inkfish roe, tuna sashimi, and a seafood hot pot that was the talk of the town.
The restaurant service was very attentive.
Alone in a booth imbued with an oceanic atmosphere, Luo Yu sat as a row of cheongsam-clad beauties with silk stockings stood by with serving plates,
ready to wait on Luo Yu's every command.
There were beauties to pour his wine, others peeled shrimp for him, and even some slicing crab meat, arranging it on his plate.
"Hsss…"
This was Luo Yu's first time indulging in the purest seafood of Soul Land.
The tuna sashimi was cool, tender, and refreshing on the palate.
The inkfish roe was dark and plump; biting into it released a burst of juice, the sweet and fresh taste exploding across the taste buds, flooding them with satisfaction.
The soft shrimp meat, with its slight fragrance, struck straight to the soul.
He nodded silently to himself.
For foodies, Hanhai City was truly a seafood paradise.
It definitely could offer the ultimate taste bud ecstasy.
However…
The prerequisite was having money.
The feast of sumptuous seafood before him and the service of the row of pretty women in cheongsam and silk stockings would cost enough golden soul coins to support an ordinary family for three years.
Luo Yu wiped the leftover traces from the corner of his mouth with a napkin and called over the cheongsam-clad beauty.
"Pack up another ten of the same set meals for me."
"Ah?" The waitress was surprised, having never seen anyone order like this before.
"Go ahead," said Luo Yu, succinctly.
"Oh… okay," she hurriedly responded, heading to the kitchen to relay the order.
The other silk stocking-clad beauties lined up there were all stealing glances at Luo Yu, their hearts fluttering.
They had seldom seen a young man so wealthy and yet so handsome, elegant, and suave.
They couldn't help but sneak peeks at him,
fantasizing about some possible encounters.
But then, they were all just fantasies.
Luo Yu, with the ten packed set meals stored away in his Storage Space and having paid the bill, promptly departed without giving them another glance.
He arrived at the coastline and his eyes lit up.
Countless large ships and small boats were everywhere, with people bustling about.
The salty air from the vast blue sea hit him, seagulls soared in the sky, and the scene thrived with prosperity.
"Hiring crew, room and board included, one Silver soul coin for seven days at sea."
"Tourists looking to go out to sea, twenty Copper soul coins per trip!"
Passing through the noisy crowd, Luo Yu spotted a middle-aged Great Han with a bird's nest of tangled hair shouting out loud.
He approached and inquired.
"Friend, how much is it to rent a ship for going out to sea?"
"Renting a ship to go out to sea? Twenty Copper soul coins per person, we have special routes," the Great Han replied quickly.
Luo Yu shook his head.
"I might not have been clear."
"What I meant was, how much to charter your ship to go out to sea."
"Huh?"
The middle-aged Great Han was startled.
"Did I hear that wrong?"
"You want to charter the whole ship?"
"Yeah, is that strange?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow.
"Do you realize how many people my ship can carry at once? Chartering the whole thing, that's an exorbitant price." The Great Han's expression was exaggerated.
Luo Yu replied crisply, "Just give me a number."
"This..." The Great Han swallowed hard, sizing up Luo Yu, "Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Luo Yu, understanding the man's reaction, directly took out a purple money bag from his Storage Space and handed it to the Great Han.
"Is this enough?"
The Great Han jangled the money bag, which was brimming full.
He laughed bitterly,
"Brother... To tell you the truth, this many Copper soul coins are barely enough to pay the crew's wages. I wouldn't make a cent."
Luo Yu smiled.
"Open it and take a look."
"Huh? It's not Copper soul coins?"
"Sss—"
"It couldn't be a bag full of Silver soul coins, could it?"
The Great Han took a deep breath and immediately opened the money bag.
The dazzling golden soul coins reflected the sunlight's brilliance, piled up together, giving the Great Han a strong visual shock.
"My— Oh..."
The Great Han suddenly looked up, his eyes bulging in disbelief as he looked at Luo Yu.
He kept looking back at the money bag in his hand.
He then realized that poverty had limited his imagination; this bag of golden soul coins could buy several ships with plenty to spare.
Who the hell is this God of Wealth?
"Chartering a ship for the sea, is it enough?" said Luo Yu.
"Enough, sir, more than enough!" The Great Han displayed a flattering attitude, bending at the waist a tad.
"When can we set sail?" Luo Yu asked.
"Whenever you want to leave, that's when we'll leave! Wherever you want to go, that's where we'll go!!!" The Great Han responded promptly.
This bag of golden soul coins made his face flush with excitement; it was more than he could earn in three years of hard labor.
Now he had the money to buy medicinal ingredients for his son's Soul Power training.
"Sea God's Island, do you know it?" Luo Yu asked.
"What?" The Great Han stood frozen, "Sea God's Island???"
"What's the matter?" Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, "Afraid to go?"
"This..." The Great Han shook his head with a wry smile, "Do you know about Sea God's Island?"
"If we go there recklessly, both you and I are done for."
The Great Han didn't want to hand back the money bag, yet he dared not head to Sea God's Island, the place all sailors feared like a plague.
There came a somewhat sharp and sinister voice from the side.
"If he doesn't dare to go, I do. Give me the money."
Luo Yu turned his head and saw a man with a hooked nose approaching, his eyes slightly squinted, gleaming with shrewdness.
Once the Great Han noticed this person, his pupils contracted, and his hand holding the money bag started to tremble.
"You dare to go?" Luo Yu asked.
"Of course. My Sea Demon is the largest ship in Hanhai City. Trust in me, Captain Haidel, and you won't be wrong."
"If you don't believe me, ask this gentleman here."
Luo Yu turned his head to look at the Great Han.
The Great Han quickly nodded, "It's true, it really is."
Heidel crooked his finger.
"Hand it over."
"Okay, alright!" The Great Han hastily passed the money bag over without any hesitation.
"All right, then I'll go with you," Luo Yu said with a smile.
Heidel quickly led Luo Yu away.
The Great Han stood there stunned as his peers gathered around, whispering quietly.
"This young man must be on his first trip out. Can't he tell that something's wrong with that Haidel?"
"It's over for that young man. Once he's in Haidel's hands, he won't even know how he died."
"He won't make it to Sea God's Island, but he might just descend to hell..."
"What a pity... that's the bully from the Purple Pearl Pirate Group."
