Chapter 976 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" starts revealing surprises: Jiang Wuyou didn’t spend the night on Eternal Winter Island at all, she left on... Read on!

Jiang Wuyou didn’t spend the night on Eternal Winter Island at all, she left on her own after having drinks.This was a responsible attitude.

Neither Chongxuan Sheng, Li Longchuan, nor Yan Fu were suited to have too close an association with Jiang Wuyou.

Not unless one was bound to Jiang Wuqi like the Lei Family where Lei Zhanqian resides, impossible to sever the ties.

It was better for everyone that Jiang Wuyou took the initiative to leave.

Before she left, Jiang Wang returned the thumb ring to her.

She didn’t bring up the promise with Jiang Wang, which indeed needed no further mentioning.

Jiang Wang would surely remember.

In the future, should Jiang Wuyou need anything, Jiang Wang would certainly do all he could to help.

Even if… it were to help her contend for the dragon!

The journey to the Mystical Realm was now settled, and unlike Xu Xiangqian, who had a tougher skin, Jiang Wang started preparing to repay his debts one by one.

Jiang Wang had already figured out how to repay the debt he owed to Yan Fu, a box of talisman seals.

While hunting the Sea Clan, he had acquired several bone spurs capable of inhibiting the Yuan Forces of the five elements, extremely exquisite in nature.

He would later ask Lian Que to craft them into a set of magic artifacts, basically providing limitless use of seals that could inhibit water, fire… and inhibit all kinds of Vitality, which should equate to the value of those hundred talisman seals.

The next debt was the thumb ring made of ice, which he could return in its original form.

But for that, he needed to make a trip to Binghuang Island to return it in person to Li Fengyao.

Even though Li Longchuan was nearby, it made no sense to let Li Longchuan do it for him—it wasn’t how such matters were done.

He should express his gratitude in person and keep this favor in his heart.

There was also the pearl of the mirage dragon lent to him by Li Longchuan, which he lost on the Battlefield of Mystical Realm, the current holder unknown.

The worth of this item was hard to precisely estimate, for it was a rare treasure of illusion.

However, Jiang Wang had also accumulated some fine items, and after sorting through them, he found he did have something of equivalent value to offer.

“Longchuan, brother,” Jiang Wang said somewhat sheepishly, “the pearl of the mirage dragon you lent me was lost on the Mystical Realm battlefield.

What if I make it up to you with this Body-Binding Chain I obtained from Hai Zongming?”

Borrowing and owing could easily strain friendships.

Often, the difficulty lay in managing the nuances between “borrowing” and “repaying.”

The best way to deal with it was for both parties to be open and direct, avoiding any circumlocution.

Do as one should without suspicion, and no grudges would form.

The Body-Binding Chain looked unremarkable—a drab section of rope, but upon closer inspection, its extraordinary nature was evident.

The faint shadows of dragons and the intricate patterns all spoke of its worth.

The chain’s claim of binding anything it touches came with significant limitations.

The real difficulty was in managing to actually “touch” the opponent.

In a true battle, no one would recklessly test your magic artifact.

Despite these limitations, its value still surpassed that of the pearl of the mirage dragon.

After all, its effects were truly strong, and it could easily subdue cultivators of the Outer Building level.

Once touched by the chain, one had no choice but to be captured.

Back in the Mystical Realm, with Jiang Wang nearly out of strength, the pre-arranged Body-Binding Chain still left him with an adversary in a panicked flight.

And as for treasures like the pearl of the mirage dragon, they only reached their greatest potential in the hands of masters of illusion, having even greater limitations.

Moreover, truly powerful illusions often had offensive capabilities, but the illusions created by the pearl of the mirage dragon were just that—illusions.

This further reduced its value.

The fact that the master called “Hard-To-Say” used it to swindle people also reflected a novel approach.

Li Longchuan didn’t refuse Jiang Wang’s attempt to repay the debt but said seriously, “Its value exceeds what is owed.

Moreover, I was able to obtain the pearl of the mirage dragon in part because of your contribution…”

“If we start talking about these things, there’ll be no end to it,” Jiang Wang said, waving his hand and jokingly added, “In any case, I lost your pearl of the mirage dragon, and I must offer compensation.

I learned the skill of the Body-Binding Chain from the divine capturer, and with diligent cultivation, it might not be inferior to the Body-Binding Chain.

Therefore, this item is not so important to me.

If you feel like you are getting the better end of the deal, just compensate me with a few hundred Prime Stones!”

This was clearly said in jest—the value of the Body-Binding Chain in Prime Stones was itself debatable.

The main point was that, among friends, some things should be clear-cut, but not everything needed to be too clear.

If they really started calculating, even though the thumb ring hadn’t been lost, perhaps there should be a rental fee?

Li Longchuan hesitated no longer and promptly took the Body-Binding Chain, saying crisply, “Alright.

Wei Gao’er owes me Prime Stones, no less than eight hundred if not a thousand.

I’ll transfer the debt to you now!”

Jiang Wang rolled his eyes, “Who could possibly get Xu Xiangqian to pay his debts!”

Both laughed.

His friends were not all idle—aside from Xu Xiangqian, one could say that each one had their own matters to attend to.

They had only stayed on Crescent Island previously because of his issues.

Chongxuan Sheng hadn’t shown up all day, busy managing foreign affairs.

Rarely venturing out to sea, the chubby man wouldn’t pass up the chance to consolidate his influence.

Yan Fu had already hurried back to Bei County, probably related to the daughter of an Imperial Court Adviser.

Thus, when it came time to head to Binghuang Island, only Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan were left.

Taking advantage of the pretext of celebrating Jiang Wang’s achievements, after inviting Zhao Wuyan and Zi Shu over for a drink, Xu Xiangqian turned around and began to find their presence annoying, wishing he could kick them away; of course, he wasn’t going to follow them.

Li Longchuan was quite displeased.

After all, Xu Xiangqian had tricked him into leaving the sea by playing the victim and had clung to him every day, not letting him leave.

Now that Xu Xiangqian’s relationship with Zhao Wuyan had progressed, he suddenly became unrecognizable…

What a son of a turtle!

Zi Shu, however, seemed to be quite interested in Binghuang Island, and her words were full of longing, but in the end, she could only follow her senior sister—Zhao Wuyan would never allow Zi Shu to follow them to Binghuang Island.

Coming to Eternal Winter Island might still be considered making friends, but what would it mean for a young girl to run around with someone like that?

Boarding a dragon bone ship, apart from the boatman, there were no other people.

Jiang Wang stood on the deck, facing the sea breeze, feeling a sense of freedom he hadn’t felt in a long time.

Li Longchuan laughed and said, “Having returned the Icesink Thumb Ring and waiting for that friend from Lian’s family to finish that set of Magic Artifacts… Once the debts are repaid, we’ll be unburdened, right?”

“Yeah.

At last, I can get a good night’s sleep!” Jiang Wang also chuckled in response.

But for some reason, he always felt as though he had forgotten something…

Almost as soon as the dragon bone ship carrying Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan had departed, a figure emerged from the shadow of a large tree.

“This kid’s reputation has really grown now.” The figure looked over a map in his hands, examining it carefully: “Eternal Winter Island… Is this the place?”

“Who’s there?”

The security of Eternal Winter Island was almost immediately alerted, and a squad of guards quickly approached.

Of course, this was also because the newcomer didn’t bother to conceal himself.

“I am Fu Yanqing from Yang Valley.”

The newcomer said with a smile, “I’m here to collect a debt from Jiang Wang.

This is his territory, right?

Eh, he wouldn’t, to default on the debt, resort to killing and silencing someone, would he?”

It was quite clear that after leaving a place like the Battlefield of Mystical Realm, even a person like Fu Yanqing had become a lot more relaxed.

He even started to joke around.

Although it wasn’t very funny.

The guards were skeptical but seeing the visitor’s distinguished air, they didn’t treat him as a swindler.

“Please wait here; I’ll go and report this immediately.”

Fu Yanqing smiled, “Please do.”

He thoroughly enjoyed the air of the present world, its freedom, peace, and tranquility…

Everything about the present world!

Soon, having received the news, Zhongxuan Xin hurried over, beating his chest from a distance, “Jiang Wang’s matters are my matters!

Tell me, how much does my brother Jiang owe you?

I’ll pay it back for him!”

His voice was extremely loud, as if he were afraid that someone wouldn’t know about his friendship with Jiang Wang.

People of Qi Kingdom really are wealthy, to have someone come out so generously…

Thinking this, Fu Yanqing said with a smile, “Ten Myst Crystals, which is equal to a thousand Prime Stones.

A Sunblaze Flying Boat, which can be exchanged for a Thorn Boat, or three thousand Prime Stones will also do.”

Son of Zhongxuan waved his hand grandly, commanding his subordinate, “Give it to him!

It’s just four thousand…”

“Wait a minute!”

He came to his senses, his eyes widening in horror, “Prime Stones?”
