Chapter 1021 - 1021 1007 Sacred Spirit Island

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1007: Sacred Spirit Island Chapter 1021: Chapter 1007: Sacred Spirit Island The result was a slap coming his way, Ye Chen quickly dodged aside, and still said, “What I’m saying is the truth, otherwise how could she let us go and capture two fake thieves to deceive everyone? Even if she assumed we escaped by jumping into the sea, she should have at least pretended to search, but she didn’t. How should that be explained?”

“After causing a commotion all night, I’m not playing with you all anymore. I need to get a roast chicken to eat,” Black Demonic Spirit also breathed a sigh of relief.

The room quieted down, almost everyone had left, leaving only Shao Hengjiang and Wan Liyun.

Shao Hengjiang had captured two fakes to stabilize the crew’s morale, which Wan Liyun found hard to understand. He said, “Big brother, that girl wanted to poison you to death, and you just let her go so easily. It’s very dangerous. Who knows when she might bring you another pot of poisoned wine.”

“Heh, don’t worry, it’s not so easy to poison me to death,” Shao Hengjiang held a piece of jade in his hand, swinging it. It was a piece of jade engraved with the word “river”; it was something he and Fu Qiulan had exchanged years ago. Although more than a decade had passed, he had always carried it with him.

“Who exactly is that girl that you let her go just like that?”

“Ah, she’s just a young girl, a bit mischievous, that’s all.”

“Mischievous, but not the kind of mischief she’s doing.”

“She knows we destroyed the Cang Qiong ship; she was seeking revenge for the people of the Cang Qiong.”

“What, people of the Cang Qiong, when did they get on our ship?” Wan Liyun was extremely puzzled.

“I am as curious about this as you are. However, it’s understandable; she wants to avenge those people!”

“If that’s the case, keeping her on the ship is too dangerous. It would be better to get rid of her as soon as possible.” Wan Liyun was still somewhat worried about letting the murderer go, fearing she might strike again.

“I will be careful, don’t worry. That young girl isn’t very skilled in martial arts,” Shao Hengjiang reassured him.

“Then the security around here needs to be tightened, especially for food and drinks. They must be tested by others before you can consume them.” Wan Liyun carried on, “I heard that her accomplice is very skilled in martial arts. More than a dozen men were scattered by a mythical dragon he released.”

“Mmm, a formidable fellow. I never expected, here in the South Sea, to find such a young person with such ability. What’s more, to think that there’s someone in the South Sea who knows the martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual.”

Wan Liyun, almost in disbelief upon hearing this, said, “The martial arts of the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, you can’t be serious, that’s the martial arts exclusive to Dragon Slayer Island in the East Sea.”

“Yes, it’s been many years since I’ve encountered anyone proficient in the martial arts of Dragon Slayer Island,” Shao Hengjiang stood up.

However, Wan Liyun knew that the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits could do without anyone but not without his big brother. Within the tumultuous South Sea, he knew his place; if anything happened to Shao Hengjiang, he would not be able to carry on the leadership. He said, “Big brother, you also need to be more cautious. We cannot afford another incident like this, otherwise, our efforts will have been in vain.”

“Rest assured, I’m fine. It’s just two kids who like to play. Go back to sleep, we’re docking tomorrow.”

Wan Liyun nodded slightly and replied, “Then I won’t disturb you any further, big brother.” He quickly withdrew.

After getting the roast chicken and finishing it, the night was deep. Ye Chen and Nangong Yan returned to the communal dormitory.

Without any abnormalities.

Nangong Yan kept thinking about Shao Hengjiang, what exactly was his relationship with her mother, how could her mother be involved with such a person? She will have to go back and ask father, perhaps father knows.

The two quickly entered the dormitory.

At that moment, inside it was very quiet, only the sound of snoring could be heard.

The sea breeze was blowing strongly, as if singing a song.

“Stop looking, you can’t escape even if they come for you,” Ye Chen pushed her inside with one hand.

Vanishing into the night, Shao Hengjiang and the others really did let her go.

Ye Chen laid his leg on Nangong Yan’s body.

Waking up Nangong Yan, she pushed Ye Chen away with a palm, clamoring, “You try that again, and I’ll kick you under the bed.”

“I was worried you might get cold.”

Nangong Yan sat up, and then from outside came the announcement, “We’ve arrived at Sacred Spirit Island.”

Nangong Yan still couldn’t believe it, she pushed off the blanket and ran out, and indeed saw Sacred Spirit Island. It had been a long while since she last came to Sacred Spirit Island; the last time was last year because, over the past year, the seas had not been very peaceful and with many incidents occurring, many people chose to travel across the sea as little as possible unless necessary.

Ye Chen also followed outside, warily glancing around, indeed somewhat astonished that Shao Hengjiang had let them go.

People on the ship began to bustle about; after staying on this vessel for four whole days, nearly suffocating with cabin fever, they were desperate to go ashore, so of course, they were excited.

Nangong Yan said resentfully, “It’s a pity I didn’t manage to poison Iron Chains to death last night.”

“I think you should feel fortunate, fortunate that Iron Chains didn’t capture you for the purpose of continuing his lineage,” Ye Chen said beside Nangong Yan.

There were many excited people on the ship, some jumping and bouncing as if they were about to go home and see their wives.

“I can’t follow you anymore; If I stick with you, sooner or later, I’ll end up in trouble, too. You are nothing but a trouble magnet,” mumbled Ye Chen, basking in the sun.

“You, last night, if you had helped me at the beginning, Shao Hengjiang probably wouldn’t be alive.”

“Hehe, you really are stubborn. I’m speechless.” Ye Chen stretched and yawned.

The boat slowly approached the dock.

Ye Chen went with Nangong Yan to collect their wages. Speaking of which, the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits were quite courteous—the silver they gave was indeed substantial.

Having collected their pay, they disembarked. One really couldn’t tell this was an island.

Nangong Yan followed Ye Chen and asked, “Where do you plan to go now?”

“To find a beauty and squander some money,” Ye Chen played with the silver taels in his hand, already having given a share to Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan was genuinely grateful to him. Although this fellow liked to blather nonsense, last night, he truly saved her. Without him, she would have died twice—once at sea, and once last night. She said, “We should at least have a farewell meal.”

Ye Chen looked over at her and glanced back, saying, “Alright then, who knows if we’ll have a chance to see each other again in the future. We’re friends, after all; maybe this is farewell.”

The two walked through the city streets where so many people bustled about—no different from the big cities in the Central Plains—except that here, there was an even greater variety of goods being traded.

The sun emerged quickly, scorching the earth and giving a suffocating sensation, like drinking a hot cup of tea.

They entered an inn.

Nangong Yan ordered dishes, getting quite a few delicacies. Ye Chen was afraid he wouldn’t have enough money, for all his silver was with Li Mo, and now he didn’t even know if Li Mo was alive or dead. He said, “You’ll have to pay for this meal.”

“Don’t worry, consider it my way of thanking you for saving me.”

“Of course. The fact that I haven’t asked you to repay me with your body is already letting you off easy.” Ye Chen poured himself a cup of tea and gulped it down, finally feeling much better.

“Where do you plan to go?”

“I’ve told you, to find a couple of beauties to knead my bones.”

“You really are a big lecher.” Nangong Yan said.

“Hehe, if you like calling me a big lecher, go ahead. I don’t care. I just want to live a carefree life.”

“Your martial arts are so advanced, and there must be a reason for you to come to Sacred Spirit Island at this time.”

“Don’t think about my business.”

“Oh right, last night, I heard Red Demonic Spirit mention you have some sort of madness affliction. What exactly is it?” Nangong Yan was, after all, the daughter of the Immortal Medicine Island Master, a skilled healer. She continued, “Maybe my father could take a look. He might be able to cure you.”

“This illness of mine isn’t something ordinary people can cure. But I still want to thank you. The fact that you’re offering to help shows you’re pretty conscientious.” Ye Chen looked outside the inn, and not long after, he saw a group of people coming. It was Shao Hengjiang disguised as Qian Manor Master, afraid to be recognized.

Nangong Yan also turned her face aside, murmuring, “This guy really isn’t afraid of ghosts.”

“What’s there to be afraid of ghosts during the day?” Ye Chen said.

“He’s just lucky. Next time, he won’t be so fortunate.”

“I advise you not to mess with them anymore. Whatever the reason, they spared you, and you ought to be thankful for that.”

“They are pirates, and I should thank them? What a joke.” Nangong Yan let out a cold laugh as the group of people quickly passed by.

“I don’t think they’re as bad as you say they are.”

The waiter quickly brought up the remaining dishes.

“After holding back for so many days, I can finally have a good meal.” Ye Chen didn’t stand on ceremony and picked up his chopsticks, then asked, “What about you? Where will you go after eating?”

“I need to wait for my father,” Nangong Yan said. She still had to find her father to clarify some matters.

“Good, don’t always think of being an assassin. It’s not good; you might get killed by someone else. Even if you aren’t killed, if you get one or two scars on your face, a scarred face won’t be pretty, no matter where you go. Do you still want to get married?”

“What about giving your face one or two scars?” It seemed that the fellow across from her wasn’t going to tell her why he came here, and she didn’t feel like asking any further.

Ye Chen was pondering in his heart. He had arrived at Sacred Spirit Island, but he needed to do something; he couldn’t afford to waste time.

“If I want to find you in the future, where should I look for you?”

“You want to find me? What for? You’re not falling for me, are you? I’m telling you, I’ve already got someone I like, and I won’t fall for you.”

“You’re so full of yourself—who said I liked you? I’m worried you’re falling for me.” Nangong Yan continued with flared nostrils, “We’ve been through life and death, and been in trouble together. I just want to make a friend.”

“Ah, perhaps we will meet again. I don’t know where I might end up dead next.” Ye Chen squinted and took a sip of wine.
