Chapter 365: Charter the Boat

Xu Sheng retracted his gaze and then walked towards the boatman he had previously decided on in his mind…

However, the moment they saw him, these men with vicious expressions all revealed impatient looks...

"Kid, scram to the side, can't you see we're doing business?"

"Exactly, exactly, hold us up and you won't be able to walk away unscathed!"

"Whose child is this really, what is he doing in a place like this??"

These men were not interested in children; their targets were those with considerable wealth, the "big bosses."

After all, once at sea, anything that happens would go unnoticed by anyone!!

This was also why there were so many people, yet the price was so cheap!!

Seeing this, Xu Sheng patiently explained, "Gentlemen, you misunderstand, I'm here to take the boat!"

On hearing that, one of the men with scarred faces turned to the man beside him wearing a hat, whose face couldn't be seen clearly, and said, "Boss, this kid says he's here to take a boat, should we take him on?"

The latter didn't answer but gently lifted his hat, allowing his eyes to clearly see Xu Sheng through the gap...

Then, with a hint of interest, he said, "Oh?? You actually want to take a boat? Our minimum is five golden soul coins per person, can you afford it?"

If there were no big fish today, then taking on this one deal wouldn't be a problem!

Xu Sheng pretended to be somewhat proud and took out a hefty bag...

He shook it a few times, making a crisp sound...

"Of course, money is no object to me!!"

In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Xu Sheng changed...

From initial disdain to greed...

Such a young child, yet able to casually produce so many golden soul coins, must come from no ordinary background!

Who knows what other valuables he might have on him!!

"Ahem… Boss, since the kid said so, and he can afford the boat fare, why don't we just take him!"

"Yeah boss, we haven't had a single customer until now, if we don't start doing business soon, we'll starve!"

"Boss, why hesitate, let's take the deal if it's offered!!"

The leading man hesitated for a moment, but decided not to pass up the opportunity and said with a sneer, "As long as you can afford the boat fare, we naturally have no reason to refuse!"

However, Xu Sheng unexpectedly interrupted, "Before that, I have a request!"

The other party did not get angry but inquired, "What request?"

After all, whatever the other had would end up in their own hands, so there was no harm in listening!

Xu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, "Simply put, I want to charter your boat, of course, I'll bear the corresponding costs!"

Since these people were desperate rogues, it was better not to involve innocent Soul Masters and civilians!!

The man's brows furrowed deeply, "Charter the whole boat?? That price won't be low…"

If possible, of course they wanted to bring more Soul Masters and civilians!

That way they could make a huge profit!!

Before the words were finished, Xu Sheng threw a bag of golden soul coins...

The other hastily caught it, weighed it carefully, and immediately made up his mind...

This fat sheep must be kept!!

"No problem, as long as there are enough golden soul coins, chartering the entire boat is not impossible!!"

Xu Sheng said no more and walked onto the boat with Gui Mei, "In that case, let's set sail now!"

The somewhat dull man beside him bulged his eyes out and exclaimed, "Hah? Setting sail now, shouldn't we set a specific time..."

Under normal circumstances, a deposit is paid first, followed by setting an exact time...

And then setting sail when the time draws near...

However, the man in charge punched the dull man in the head and scolded sharply, "Shut up, and hurry up to prepare a resting room for our honored guests, then everyone get to your positions, ready to set sail!!"

Such a fat sheep, what if we miss out because of some accident??

The former immediately got the message, "Yes, boss!!"

"Please follow me, honored guests!"

Xu Sheng pursed his lips, "Wait, aren't you going to ask us our destination?"

These fools, blinded by the sight of golden soul coins, truly lost their senses, even making such a rookie mistake!

The lead man also realized his oversight and hastily asked, "Oh... right, right, right, may I know the destination of your journey?"

"Sea God's Island!"

Getting the answer, the man was initially startled, then had a moment of realization, saying, "Sea God's Island? No problem, we're very familiar with that place, we can definitely get there safely!!"

Tsk, these two really are crazy, actually wanting to go to Sea God's Island!

That place, even Soul Masters stronger than the Soul Emperor can't reach it safely!!

If ordinary people and Soul Masters insist on going, they're likely to meet their demise along the way!!

But it's all the same in death, and their belongings can be considered our inheritance!!

Xu Sheng didn't say any more, "That's good then, I'll leave the rest to you!"

...

After coming up to the room on the ship!

Gui Mei first released his Soul Power to isolate the outside world, then said with a cold voice, "Xu Sheng, those fellows seemed a bit flustered when they heard about Sea God's Island, they probably haven't successfully made it there!"

"Why did you choose them to lead the way??"

Getting lost at sea is extremely dangerous!!

Xu Sheng glanced at him and didn't hide his thoughts, replying truthfully, "Elder Gui, although they may not have reached Sea God's Island, they must have a navigational map to it!"

Gui Mei's pupils suddenly narrowed, "You mean..."

It seemed the kid had already seen through those men's plans, just looking for a reason to get rid of them before taking the helm of the ship himself!!

Such cunning, truly frightening!

Xu Sheng did not argue but nodded in agreement, "Exactly, if they don't make a move and we arrive at Sea God's Island safely, all the better, otherwise, we'll have to treat them with their own medicine."

Gui Mei let out a cold laugh, picked up the teacup, and took a light sip, "Well then, those who kill must be prepared to be killed!!"

"Whether they survive or not is up to their own fate!!"

After a pause, he asked again, "By the way, Xu Sheng, that Boundless Universe Shield you obtained at the auction, could I take a look at it?"

Without any hesitation, Xu Sheng passed over the Boundless Universe Shield...

The moment the other man received it, he was first surprised, then infused Soul Power into it...

However, it only emitted a faint glow, and no special changes occurred...

He couldn't help expressing his skepticism, "Is this thing really okay?? After injecting Soul Power, it just flickered a few times, it's probably no different from a rock!!!"
