Chapter 9699

"I'm here to find something, are you hungry? Go in and eat something."

Ye Chen smiled and invited Xin Xingya into the castle.

"Um!"

Xin Xingya readily agreed, and took Ye Chen's arm and entered the castle.

Ye Chen made her something to eat, it was definitely not as good as outside, but in this sand sea area, at least it was better than eating dry food.

After the two of them finished eating, night fell, and the sandy sea under the night looked even more eerie and terrifying. There were bursts of monster whining sounds from afar, which was creepy.

boom!

Suddenly, a huge collision sounded from outside the castle, as if something huge had hit the ship, followed by a fierce monster roar.

Apparently, there are trolls attacking the ship.

Xin Xingya showed a panicked look, Ye Chen waved his hand to signal her not to panic, and said:

"Don't be afraid, my men will handle it."

On the ship, a rune ghost puppet began to execute Ye Chen's will, and began to surround and kill the monsters attacking the ship. He didn't make a sound during the whole process, because they were all puppets, pure killing machines. He will coldly carry out Ye Chen's will without making any noise.

Soon, the sound of fierce fighting was transmitted to the castle, but Ye Chen still maintained a confident and calm appearance, and did not panic at all.

Seeing Ye Chen's calm appearance, Xin Xingya felt a lot more at ease, and said, "Ye Chen, you are really powerful. The monsters in this place even scare me, but you don't panic at all."

Ye Chen sensed Xin Xingya's breath, but was surprised to find that her breath was weaker than before, and said strangely:

"Miss Xingya, your cultivation...hasn't broken through to the Tianyuan realm yet?"

"Could it be that you haven't taken that Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill yet?"

In the previous auction, Xin Xingya had already won the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill. Logically speaking, after she took that heaven-level pill, it was enough to make her cultivation breakthrough instantly.

But the strange thing is, compared with the past, her cultivation has not only failed to break through, but has become weaker.

Ye Chen thought she hadn't taken the elixir yet, but after carefully capturing it, he clearly caught the medicinal energy of the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill from her body, and she had already taken that elixir.

When Xin Xingya heard Ye Chen's words, she showed a sad and haggard look, and said, "I have taken it, but, my mother...she passed away two days ago, and before she died, I spent a lot of spiritual energy. To save her."

"My cultivation base, relying on the Heavenly Soul Blood Bone Pill, has been promoted to the middle god, but in order to save my mother, I spent too much money, and fell back again, even weaker than before."

"Also, I couldn't save her..."

Ye Chen's heart was shocked, and he said, "I'm sorry..."

He asked again, "What the hell is going on?"

In the dark, Ye Chen felt that the death of Xin Xingya's mother seemed not that simple, and there seemed to be a major cause and effect involved behind it, and it might even be related to his future.

Xin Xingya said sadly: "My mother...may have died because of the ugly god."

Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Ugly God?"

Xin Xingya said: "Remember what I told you? I want to investigate the cause and effect of the God of Beauty, but I can't find any specific clues to the secrets of heaven. It seems that all traces have been artificially erased, and only the God of Ugly was found in the end."

"After I got home, I told my mother about the ugly god and asked her to help us investigate."

"The result... the result
