Chapter 685 - Stairway To Heavens Third Trial (1/2)

After killing the Flying Leviathan, Yuan returned to the ship, but it was completely silent upon his arrival.

There was no celebration, and everybody there merely stared at him with dazed looks. Some of them even had a hint of fear within their gaze.

In their eyes, someone who could defeat the Flying Leviathan that they find terrifying is obviously even more terrifying, and their minds could not help but transfer their fear for the Flying Leviathan to Yuan.

”Thank you for letting me protect you all.” Yuan removed the array that confined the Huang Family and the bodyguards.

He knew very well that Huang Chen could've broken the array very easily, but Huang Chen didn't do that and instead allowed him to protect them.

Huang Chen casually snorted, ”You're not done protecting us just yet. We still have to arrive at the Giant's Continent.”

Huang Xiao Li suddenly stepped forward and swung her arm, giving Yuan a loud and crisp slap on the face.

”I can't believe you left me behind like that.”

However, before Yuan could even react, she opened her arms and gave him a tight embrace.

”I'm a little tired so I will return to the room now.” She then said.

Yuan nodded, ”I will protect you while you rest.”

Everyone there eventually returned to their rooms with nobody really leaving their rooms afterward.

Sea Demons still attacked the ship, but that wasn't a problem for the ship since most of the guards had survived the Flying Leviathan's attack, allowing them to continue protecting the ship.

The Raging Serpent encountered three more large-size Sea Demons before they arrived at the Giant's Continent two days later, but compared to the Flying Leviathan, they were easily taken care of.

”We have arrived at the Giant's Continent! The Raging Serpent will remain docked here for 14 days before we must return home. Please finish your business and return here by then, or you will have to wait for the next ship.”

As the ship approached the land of Giant's Continent, Yuan received a notification.

<You have successfully escorted the Huang Family to the Giant's Continent without any casualties>

After the notification disappeared, the door behind Yuan opened, and the Huang Family came out of their room.

”Yuan, here is your reward for your contributions— for protecting my family.” Huang Xiao Li extended her hands that were holding an opened box to him.

Sitting inside this box was a glowing orb of light that gave Yuan a nostalgic feeling.

'It's my memories…' He thought to himself.

And without needing him to move a muscle, the glowing orb of light flew out of the box and into Yuan's forehead.

Memories immediately began flowing inside his head, but he didn't have the time to see them.

”Thank you.” He said to them afterward.

The Huang Family didn't say anything and merely smiled at him.

When Yuan blinked his eyes a second later, the Huang Family and the ship had disappeared.

He looked around, and sure enough, he had returned to the Stairway to Heaven.
