《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Not too long after, the attendant came back, following behind another human...well, not actually a human. The guy had scales all over his body and sharp eyes. If Gulan was here, he would immediately recognize this man. He was none other than Xaon, one of the Divine Demon Beasts, the Basilisk. Of course, even without Gulan, Kentucky could at least tell that the guy's bloodline was at the same level as his own.
'Rean, Roan, it's a Divine Demon Beast. From the scales on his body, he should be that Basilisk that Phex mentioned when we talked to him,' Kentucky told them through a Spiritual Sense message.
Rean and Roan immediately became more serious as they bowed to the man as Rean said, "It's an honor to see one of the Divine Demon Beasts of our world."
Xaon couldn't help but faintly smile as he looked at Kentucky. Obviously, he noticed that Kentucky was a Divine Demon Beast as well. "Seems like Phex has mentioned me before. In any case, I'm the one responsible for the exchanging of merit points in the entire Demon Beast Alliance. When I heard that a pair of humans wanted to buy the airship, I've become quite intrigued, so I decided to take a look at you."
Of course, the man didn't mention that Kentucky was also a Divine Demon Beast. That was a piece of information that only the other Divine Demon Beasts in the Demon Beast Alliance knew. One could never know who would be listening in a place like this, after all.
The attendant didn't find it strange that the two knew about it. Everyone involved in the merit point system knew that Xaon was responsible for it. Since this city was the closest one to the center of the continent, Xaon administered everything from here. Well, there were only five cities in total, so it wasn't as demanding as one would imagine. Demon beasts always preferred to keep things as simple as possible.

"So you're Kentucky, huh?" Right after, he looked at the twins before continuing, "And you should be his friends."
Rean, Roan, and Kentucky nodded in response. "Yes, senior."
Xaon then looked at Rean's request before asking, "Are you sure you want the airship? That's a lot of merit points you'll be wasting here. We did put them up for trade since we don't really have much to do with them, but I didn't really expect anyone to buy even one."
Rean immediately nodded, saying, "Yes. My brother and I live in a human tribe, and we would like to relocate them. An airship of this level would be extremely convenient for us."
Xaon didn't find it weird. Rean and Roan were humans. He does know that their Demon Beast Continent has a few isolated human tribes. For the twins to live in one was already to be expected. "Well, I've received the reports about the merit points you won. Not only did you complete the missions, but you also got rid of many Zasfins at your level and even those at a higher level than your current realms. In that case, I'll make an exception and take all your merit points in exchange for the airship."
Of course, Xaon was doing that because of Kentucky. He didn't care too much about the twins. It's because he could also feel that link between Kentucky, Rean, and Roan, just as Phex mentioned to him. With that being said, he didn't want to do anything to them either.
Rean's group immediately thanked Xaon, saying, "Thank you, Senior Xaon."
Xaon nodded before looking at the attendant that told him about this exchange. "Remove all their merit points from the jade slip. The airship they want is quite far, so I'll bring them there myself. Give it back to them once they stop by."

"Yes, senior." The human attendant quickly took the jade slip and left right after.
Following that, Xaon enveloped Rean's group with his Spiritual Energy before they disappeared from the building. Once again, all the twins and Kentucky could see was a blur. They couldn't distinguish anything due to Xaon's speed. Eventually, they stopped in front of a grassland.
"This..." Rean's group was quite surprised by what they saw. "Just how many airships do you have here?" The place was filled with them, much to their surprise.
"Who knows? I've never paid attention to it. In any case, most of them are only Earth-level ones, so they've been forgotten here. The Heaven High-Level airship you want is in the middle." Xaon then pointed at one of the biggest airships in the distance.
Rean couldn't help but sigh in disappointment when he looked at it. Anyone could tell that the airship had been abandoned in this place for a long, long time. Mold was present everywhere. The insides were full of insects and other small creatures. Not to mention that it was really dirty. However, as Rean examined it with his Spiritual Sense, his mood began to improve. The important parts, like the formations, were completely intact. The materials used to make the airship were also pristine behind the dirt and mold. 'As expected of a Heaven High-level airship. Even after being abandoned for this long, it's still 100% ready for use...if you ignore all the cleaning necessary.'
Suddenly, a few demon beasts appeared in the surroundings before one of them came to pay his respect to Xaon, saying, "Senior Basilisk, I didn't expect your visit."
They were the group in charge of protecting this place. After all, even if the demon beasts didn't use the airships, they were still worth a lot.
"Don't mind me. I'm just showing this Demon Bird the airship it has just bought. They will be taking this Heaven High-level airship away, so there's no need to stop them, understood?" the Basilisk said without even batting an eyelid.
The leader of the group immediately nodded, responding, "Yes, senior. We will take our leave, then." As fast as they appeared, they hastily left.
Xaon then turned around to leave as he left a warning to Rean's group, telling them, "This ship can fly at the speed of a Saint Realm cultivator, but it'll expend a lot of Spirit Stones. Also, don't use it to flee since it takes a long time to reach that speed. Understood?"
Rean told Roan and Kentucky about it, so the three of them only nodded in response. "Yes, senior."
And just like that, Rean's group lost all their merit points and got an airship in exchange.
