Chapter 20 Enemies Bound to Meet on a Narrow Road

  Along the way, due to the attentive instructions of the small-eyed captain, no one dared to stop Chen Yue. Instead, quite a number of crew members and servants looked at him with respectful eyes, with humble attitudes. When answering questions, they tried to be as detailed as possible, which made it very easy for him to find out where to have a meal.

  These crew members and servants were ordinary people. They had also been told by the captain not to neglect Chen Yue and Venia. Moreover, they had witnessed with their own eyes that Chen Yue had only come out once in two days after boarding the ship and hadn't eaten anything but was still full of energy. In their opinion, this was almost unimaginable and was synonymous with being powerful. Under such a mentality, a sense of awe naturally arose, and they didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.

  “Two days...” Hearing the whispers of the crew members and realizing that two days had passed during his cultivation, Chen Yue paused and immediately smiled wryly. No wonder he felt so hungry.

  In that clear and empty state, he couldn't feel the passage of time. Originally, he thought that at most only half a day had passed. Who would have thought that it was a full two days? However, compared with what he had gained, this loss was insignificant. If he could enter that state again, even if the price was to go hungry for ten days, Chen Yue would be willing.

  In the dining room, Chen Yue randomly found a seat and sat down. After he called the waiter and ordered the dishes, the small-eyed captain, who had just received a report from his subordinates, rushed over.

  The first thing he saw was that the waiter was looking at Chen Yue very impolitely. Judging from the expression, it seemed that he still wanted to argue for a while.

  Cold sweat immediately flowed down his head. Glancing at the waiter viciously, the small-eyed captain quickened his pace, walked over, snatched the menu from the waiter's hand, and reprimanded, “Why are you still standing here? Hurry up and prepare dinner.”

  The waiter meekly and quickly replied, “Yes, sir.”

  “It's our honor that you can come to have a meal, sir. Please don't be polite at all.” The small-eyed captain said respectfully. For him, whether it was Chen Yue and Venia, who boarded the ship first, or the several apostles who boarded later, none of them were people he could afford to offend. Given the opportunity, he naturally had to flatter them even more.

  “Don't worry.” Facing the sincerity of the small-eyed captain, Chen Yue smiled, but this smile was actually mixed with a bit of embarrassment.

  “Go and bring another plate of braised snowfish...” Just as he was about to tell the waiter to add a few more signature dishes, the small-eyed captain casually glanced at the menu. With this glance, his smile immediately froze.

  He finally understood why the waiter's expression was still so impolite even though he had already given instructions.

  In his opinion, as a guest minister of a big family like Blood Thorn, Chen Yue would naturally look down on the food on the ship. However, what he saw on the menu was not the two or three simple dishes that he had imagined for someone with few desires, but a dense list that almost dazzled his eyes.

  “Fried steak, stir-fried shredded vegetables...” The more he looked down, the paler the small-eyed captain's face became. And what shocked him the most was that the quantity marked behind was: two servings.

  Such a terrifying appetite... Was he a magical beast?

  Laughing dryly a few times, the small-eyed captain complimented, “Your appetite can rival that of a dragon.”

  Coughing lightly, a few blushes appeared on Chen Yue's face. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would still feel embarrassed in this situation. But there was no way. Since practicing the “Health Preservation Formula”, in order to make up for the loss of his body, his appetite had become bigger and bigger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed Ling Yue'er to help him out at the beginning.

  Not to mention that he had suddenly broken through to the ninth posture all at once, and his appetite was much larger than before. Coupled with not having eaten for two days, now even if there was a whole roasted camel in front of him, he could eat it all without leaving a bit of residue.

  After a while, the dishes were served one after another and filled the whole table. Ignoring the strange looks of the other guests in the dining room, Chen Yue ate calmly. At this time, the small-eyed captain, who knew the atmosphere was awkward, had already taken the opportunity to excuse himself and leave.

  “Haha, is this guy a pig beast? He can eat so much.” Suddenly, a sneer came from the entrance of the dining room.

  Glancing casually at the entrance, Chen Yue quickly withdrew his gaze. It turned out to be two apostles. No wonder they were so arrogant and dared to directly mock others.

  You should know that the guests on this ocean liner were all either rich or noble. No one would easily offend others. This could be seen from the fact that although many people in the dining room had also seen Chen Yue's big appetite, no one had mocked him.

  They were just two first-order apostles. Was there any need to pay more attention to them?

  Ignoring them, Chen Yue continued eating.

  The two apostles sat down not far away. After calling the waiter and ordering the dishes, they began to chat. Chen Yue didn't pay attention to their sarcasm, which made them feel rather bored.

  The two of them started talking loudly and pointing at the diners in the dining room without any scruples in their words. The people around were angry but dared not say anything. Apostles represented the most noble group of people on the continent. Although these two guys had no manners in their speech, no one was willing to offend them easily.

  One of the apostles who talked less said, “Forget it. Don't talk about that kid anymore. Don't cause trouble.”

  Facing his companion's caution, the apostle with the foulest mouth sneered, “What are you afraid of, Parr? You still haven't fully adapted to the identity of an apostle. Even if magicians and fighters were here, they would have to give us some face. It's his honor to be criticized by us.”

  “Hmm, hmm.” Nodding in agreement, Parr said with some worry, “Kina, do you think the training base on Crescent Island can really improve my strength? Up to now, I'm still struggling to command my familiar spirit.”

  “Don't worry. The training there is top-notch. If it weren't for West, we wouldn't have this opportunity.”

  ...

  Soon, eighty to ninety percent of the food on the dining table had entered Chen Yue's stomach. I don't know how this body digested it. It seemed that it had already undergone an essential change. After eating so much, his stomach didn't bulge much.

  Taking a sip of the fragrant and mellow sweet wine, Chen Yue wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. He was full.

  What a coincidence. The destination of these two guys was also the training base on Crescent Island. From what Venia had said, Chen Yue knew that these overseas bases directly under the three deacons were not open to all apostles. Only those who were extremely outstanding or had the consent of the deacons could go there. And these two guys didn't seem to have that kind of talent. So, it should be because of that apostle named West.

  Going through this name in his mind, Chen Yue got up and was about to leave. He didn't take the sarcasm of these two apostles to heart. If a dog bites you, do you bite it back? Since their destination was the training base on Crescent Island, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

  “West, you're here.” Suddenly, the two apostles hurriedly stood up and greeted in the direction of the entrance of the dining room.

  With a thought in his mind, Chen Yue also looked towards the entrance.

  Six men and women were walking towards the two apostles. At the first glance, Chen Yue recognized the gentle young man named West. The people around him were like the moon surrounded by stars, highlighting his status.

  A second-order apostle. Chen Yue's eyes narrowed, and the doubts in his heart were immediately dispelled. The promotion of apostles was much more difficult than that of other professionals. Judging from his age, he was not old but could already reach the second rank, which showed his excellent aptitude.

  Wondering how long it would take him to break through to the second rank, a competitive thought arose in Chen Yue's heart.

  It seemed that West felt Chen Yue's gaze. He turned his head and looked over. The first thing he saw was the mountain of plates on Chen Yue's table. A flash of astonishment passed through his eyes, and then a look of disdain appeared. He didn't bother to look at Chen Yue again and turned his head back.

  Chen Yue's brows furrowed slightly, and his evaluation of him dropped a few points.

  “It's you.” A shrill scream suddenly rang out from among the six people, attracting everyone's attention. West couldn't help but show a displeased look.

  In the next moment, a figure rushed in front of Chen Yue. The fiery red hair stood on end because of anger. “Thunder War Eagle” Will stared at Chen Yue with eyes spitting fire.

  Looking at him in some astonishment, Chen Yue thought for a while before remembering who this person was. His eyes swept across the crowd, and sure enough, he saw the other two people. At this time, they were also looking at him with astonishment on their faces.

  His eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared on Chen Yue's lips.

  Heh, heh. Enemies bound to meet on a narrow road?
