Outside Of Time

As the rain connected the world with the curtain, he slowly lifted his head and looked at the flying ship that had left.

Under the bamboo hat, his eyes emitted a faint golden light.

That was a manifestation of divinity.

An intense killing intent churned in this person's heart. However, just like his aura, it wasn't revealed at all. There were no energy fluctuations from his body at all.

He stood there as though he had fused with his surroundings and couldn't be sensed.

"Yun'er, it won't be long before I can help you achieve your wish of killing that person."

The person in the straw rain cape lowered his head and looked at the lone grave in front of him. He then spoke softly in a hoarse voice.

The words on the gravestone in front of him were a little blurry in the wind and rain, but upon closer inspection, one could still faintly see a line of words on it.

The grave of beloved son, Shengyun.

There was no corpse in the grave. This was a cenotaph.

After a long time, the person in the straw rain cape walked in the direction the flying ship had left in…

Time slowly passed just like that.

The flying ship Xu Qing and the others were on flew past the Immortal Enrichment River and the northern ice plain. It crossed the border of the Yinghuang Province and stepped into the territory of the Quzhao Province.

Unlike the Yinghuang Province, Quzhao Province didn't have a sea, so regardless of the weather or temperature, it didn't contain humidity. Cultivators who lived in the Yinghuang Province all year round would feel a little dry here.

However, after a simple adaptation, this feeling would quickly disappear.

There were many mountains in Quzhao Province. At the same time, there were many more nonhuman races here than in the Yinghuang Province.

On the way, just as Lord Fifth had said earlier, Xu Qing indeed saw many cultures and customs. These peculiar races and their customs allowed him to have a better understanding of the myriad races.

For example, at this moment, the flying ship they were on was flying on a colorful plain.

The plains below seemed to have a very special geology, so the colors were mixed.

Looking down, the plains seemed to be pieced together by different colors. At the same time, a green patch of the plains that was about 100,000 feet vast suddenly blurred.

Xu Qing noticed this scene and his eyes narrowed as he observed carefully.

Very soon, a scene that shocked him appeared.

That blurry green area actually sat up from the ground!

This wasn't a plain but a green robe. It was too big and spread out on the ground.

If someone who didn't know its true body passed by, they would think that this greenery was a part of the plains.

However, in reality, this was a huge piece of clothing.

Almost at the same time it sat up, the other colors on the plains also sat up one by one. Some even rose into the air and approached the flying ship.

They were all clothes. There were robes, pants, hats, and gloves.

There were all sizes of clothes on the huge plain, and probably no less than a million.

Right now, only a small portion floated out. They surrounded the flying ship and continued to circle it as it moved forward.

These clothes seemed to have ranks. Some were luxurious, some were solemn, and some were like commoners or guards. However, there were no bodies wearing them.

They were just clothes.

Xu Qing's expression was solemn. The captain also ran out of the cabin and arrived beside him. He looked at those clothes with a surprised expression.

"Could it be that there's a Nether Fairy here too?"

When the others on the flying ship saw this scene, they were all vigilant.

Purple Mystic Fairy also walked out of the cabin. Looking at those clothes, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile as she greeted a princess dress in front of the flying ship.

The two sleeves of the princess dress flicked and it bowed like a human. After that, it ignored the flying ship's barrier and floated in.

When it arrived in front of Zi Xuan, it actually hugged her.

After that, a divine sense spread out, as though it was exchanging pleasantries with Zi Xuan. They seemed to know each other.

Outsiders couldn't hear the details and Xu Qing's mind was also filled with wonder. When he continued to pay attention, it was unknown what Zi Xuan said to the princess-dress but the princess-dress actually turned around and seemed to be looking at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing lowered his head and cupped his fists.

Very soon, more clothes flew over from the ground below.

Among them, some of the maids' clothes even carried some spirit fruits. They ignored the flying ship's protective barrier and floated in. After they put the spirit fruits on the flying ship, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they curiously flew around everyone.

From their previous actions and auras, one could sense that they didn't have any ill intentions.

Some gloves flew in front of Xu Qing. They were of various styles and most of them were slender. After circling around him and realizing that he didn't pay attention to them, they flew toward the captain.

The captain curiously sized them up and even poked them.

Not long later, Zi Xuan and the princess dress finished exchanging pleasantries. The princess dress flicked her sleeve and the clothes on the flying ship instantly flew outside and surrounded the flying ship.

They escorted the flying ship out of this plain, and made a gesture of cupping their fists to bid farewell.

It was only when they couldn't see any traces of the clothes that everyone on the flying ship heaved a sigh of relief.

"The Cloth Race is one of the large factions in the Quzhao province. I didn't expect Fairy to know them." The old woman from the Fifth Peak sighed with emotion.

Purple Mystic Fairy smiled lightly.

"I'm old friends with the eldest princess of their race. When I was young, we went out to travel together. Back then, she always wanted me to wear her but I rejected her."

"Senior, um… what will happen if you wear it?" The captain's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He placed his right hand behind his back and couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qing blinked. He saw the captain's right hand behind him wearing a black glove made of gauze material.

It was one of the gauze gloves that had surrounded him earlier. At some point in time, the captain had worn it.

Zi Xuan cast a meaningful glance at the captain and calmly spoke.

"After wearing it, you will forcefully form an ancient contract with them. The flesh covered by them will belong to them from then on."

The captain heaved a sigh of relief and lifted his right hand to look at the glove on it.

"I see. That's nothing much. Since it's your friend's race, Purple Mystic Fairy, let this be a gift to them." As the captain spoke, he bit his wrist.

Under the strange gazes of everyone on the flying ship, the captain bit off his wrist.

Throughout the entire process, his expression didn't change at all. Clearly, he was used to it. After biting his wrist off, he took the gloved broken hand and threw it out of the flying ship. He even smiled and waved his left hand.

"Goodbye. I'll come and play with you when I have time in the future."

The gloved broken hand floated outside the flying ship and actually waved goodbye to the captain. With some reluctance, it slowly left.

"Can you imagine that my right hand is bidding farewell to me?" The captain looked at Xu Qing with a rueful expression.

Xu Qing tacitly agreed. The surrounding people didn't know what to say either.

This scene caused Wu Jianwu's eyes to widen, revealing a strange glint as he felt an urge to recite poetry.

"In ancient times, a large snake broke its tail and ran home after eating it."

"Today, Erniu bit off his hand and got Miss Five-Finger as a friend.
