Chapter 552: Chapter 593, Going to the Island (10th Update)

"Do you know?" Fang Yi looked slightly surprised and suddenly thought of a question. Elder Liu had just been injured, but Da Gang clearly wasn’t on this ship. So where did he go?

Da Gang nodded and said, "Brother Xiaotian, if you want to go there, I can lead the way. I’ve secretly visited there a few times and am quite familiar with the area."

Fang Yi asked, "So you weren’t on this ship just now because you were scouting ahead?"

Da Gang hesitated, looked at Zhao Guosheng for approval, and upon seeing Zhao Guosheng nod slightly, Da Gang then said, "Yes, I was scouting the area. It’s about ten miles from here to that small island. We can get there quickly, but..."

"But what?"

"But I found a private yacht near the island, a huge one. I’m afraid that apart from Earth Snake and his people, there might be others on the island too. It could be very dangerous to go there just like that."

Da Gang spoke very seriously and carefully.

Fang Yi’s gaze immediately turned to Zhao Guosheng, "Old Zhao, what else are you hiding from me?"

Zhao Guosheng smiled and replied, "What do you think?"

Fang Yi responded, "Seems like you’re sure I’ll go. Okay then, since that’s the case, I’ll go take a look as you wish." He spoke lightly, as if he were merely going for a walk on the island.

Da Gang wanted to advise him otherwise, but Zhao Guosheng stopped him with a raised hand.

Fang Yi left the cabin and as soon as he stepped outside, he saw Nangong Lengxue standing not far away.

Fang Yi immediately squeezed out a smile on his face and said cheekily, "Director Nangong, you’re out here in the cold air on such a late night. It’s not good if you catch a cold. Come, let me take off my clothes for you to wear."

"Do you have anything to take off?" Nangong Lengxue glanced at his bare upper body, her cheeks slightly heating up for some reason.

The scene from earlier replayed clearly in Nangong Lengxue’s mind when she had been surrounded by dozens of pirates, those pirates drooling over her, desiring everything she had. Although Nangong Lengxue maintained a cold exterior, she was, after all, a woman.

When Nangong Lengxue saw Fang Yi shirtless, her heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.

Her heart skipped a beat, something unusual for Nangong Lengxue, but it had happened just at that moment, leaving her with mixed feelings.

"I don’t have any clothes, shall I take off my pants?" Fang Yi joked.

"Shameless!" Nangong Lengxue spat and said, "Fang Xiaotian, don’t think that just because you saved me once, you can strut around in front of me. Let me tell you, Nangong Lengxue is not an easy one!"

Fang Yi nodded and said, "Hmm, that’s right, you probably aren’t a vegetarian."

"..."

"Stop slick-talking with me here! Tell me, who are you really?"

"What?"

"Hmph! With your skills, you couldn’t possibly be just a nobody. Even in Dragon Team, you’d definitely qualify as a Yinglong Guard," Nangong Lengxue said, her implication was to probe the real identity of Fang Yi, as she didn’t believe he was just a nobody.

"Director Nangong thinks too much, I’m just Fang Xiaotian, but I have a passionate and chivalrous heart, happy to help others, and I am an utterly romantic good man," Fang Yi replied, thinking to himself that if he told her the truth, she’d probably be jumping mad.

"Helping as a chivalrous act?" Nangong Leng Xue clearly didn’t believe it, and she gave a cold snort, saying, "If you don’t wish to talk, then forget it." With that, she didn’t wait for Fang Yi to respond and turned to leave first.

Watching Nangong Leng Xue walk away, Fang Yi started to speak, then stopped. He soon muttered softly in annoyance, "Crazy," then took a breath outside the cabin before returning inside where Da Gang was waiting for him.

"Brother Xiaotian, when do you plan to go to that island?" Da Gang asked.

"What’s your opinion?" Fang Yi felt that, at sea, it was better to listen to the professionals.

"I think now is the best time. There’s no wind tonight, so there won’t be any big waves. I still remember the way; we can get there fastest if we go now," Da Gang thought aloud.

"Good, no time like the present, let’s go now!" Fang Yi decided firmly, understanding that it was not good to delay.

Zhao Guosheng stayed behind to take care of Elder Liu. Fang Yi followed Da Gang to the back of the fishing boat, where Da Gang lowered an inflatable boat attached to the side of the fishing boat into the water, and then jumped in, followed by Fang Yi.

"Brother Xiaotian, make sure you’re seated securely," Da Gang said as he took hold of a wooden oar in each hand and began to row.

Before long, they saw the inflatable boat slowly distancing from the fishing boat.

But just as the inflatable had left only a short while ago, a noise splashed through the water as another inflatable boat hit the sea surface. Shortly afterward, a gracefully poised figure fell into this boat and then she started the installed car engine on the boat.

She then followed, the gracefully poised woman looking at the tiny shadow in the night sky not far ahead, and murmured to herself, "Do they really think Nangong Leng Xue is so easily fooled? Fang Xiaotian, let’s see what you’re truly hiding."

...

In the vastness of the night, an oil lamp was used for illumination, while Da Gang held an oar in each hand and rowed, their boat now far from the fishing boat.

Fang Yi took out a cigarette, lit one, then looked at Da Gang rowing and asked, "Da Gang, are you also a member of the Dragon Team?"

Rowing, Da Gang’s expression slightly froze, then he awkwardly apologized, "Sorry, Brother Xiaotian, I deceived you."

Fang Yi shook his head, "It’s alright. I know it was Zhao Guosheng’s orders; I don’t blame you."

Da Gang’s expression became a bit peculiar. After thinking for a bit, he said, "Brother Xiaotian, it’s just the two of us going over, don’t you think we should make some more preparations? I’ve observed that there are about forty people on that island, and there are also heavy machine guns and snipers..." He went on to describe the situation on the island in detail.

Fang Yi replied indifferently, "Let’s just go over like this. I can handle it alone when the time comes."

Da Gang was shocked and said, "How can that be, Brother Xiaotian? Two fists are no match for four hands, and with so many people on the island, just you alone..."

"You are only at Human Level Three, coming with me, you’d only be a burden," Fang Yi said.

Hearing this, Da Gang looked ashamed.

Unconsciously, they were nearing the island. From a distance, scattered lights on the island were very noticeable against the backdrop of the night sky. Da Gang stopped to free his hands and blew out the lamp, then in the darkness, quietly maneuvered the boat.

It was clear Da Gang had been there a few times before. He anchored the boat on a rugged part of the island, an area filled with reefs that wasn’t suitable for landing, but under the cover of darkness, Da Gang took out a rope, threw a loop, and caught it on a rock by the shore, then slowly moved closer.

Fang Yi jumped onto the shore, Da Gang also wanted to come over, but Fang Yi stopped him and gave him a curious look, saying, "You stay here and back me up."
