Super God Grandmaster
Chapter 1054 - 1054 1040 Birthdate and Time

Chapter 1054: Chapter 1040: Birthdate and Time Chapter 1054: Chapter 1040: Birthdate and Time Ye Chen was also somewhat baffled and whispered to Nangong Yan, “I think the old guy really took a fancy to you. Now he’s asking for your birth details; it looks like you might have a shot.”

Nangong Yan glared back at him and exclaimed, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Nonsense? You almost poisoned the man to death, released the Water Dragon, caused such a mess, and he’s not even angry. Instead, he’s ogling you, asking about your birthday. Unless his head’s filled with water, he must be smitten with you.”

Nangong Yan felt there was some truth to that. Indeed, this was the time one would typically take action and kill someone, yet the other party had not. This made no sense. She quickly said, “I already have someone I like. I won’t marry you, so get that thought out of your head.”

“Someone you like, eh? This young man here?” Shao Hengjiang looked over at Ye Chen as he spoke.

“Yes, I’ve fallen for him. So you can forget about it,” she retorted.

Shao Hengjiang was still skeptical but found these two youngsters amusing. Just now, they admitted that everything had nothing to do with the other, all to protect one another. Although he believed that it was indeed the girl’s doing, he was quite entertained.

Ye Chen hastily said, “No, how could I like her? She’s so dumb, completely brainless. I wouldn’t take her even if she were given to me. If you, senior, are fond of her, I’ll officiate the wedding. I guarantee it’ll be a ceremony to remember.” He couldn’t provoke this old man. Although the laughter was gentle, it carried a hint of deadly intent.

Shao Hengjiang chuckled.

Nangong Yan stared at Ye Chen and whispered fiercely, “You worthless jerk, what are you doing?”

Seeing an opportunity, Ye Chen quickly whispered to Nangong Yan, “Hey, since you like playing the hero so much, I’ll let you have this moment. Agree to it, even if it’s for my sake. Marry the old man, serve him well, and he might just let me go.”

“You…” Nangong Yan was lost for words, on the brink of collapsing.

Ye Chen moved closer to Shao Hengjiang and said eagerly, “Don’t worry, she won’t fall for me. Just give me some time, and I’m sure I can persuade her to marry you sincerely. I guarantee you’ll have lots of children.”

Shao Hengjiang stood to the side, chin in hand, chuckling at the spectacle.

Nangong Yan pinched Ye Chen fiercely with a tiger claw grip. This heartless man, how could he speak such words? She was furious.

Ye Chen dodged and continued, “She’s really afraid of death and pain, so don’t worry, I know her well. She wouldn’t dare to bite her own tongue, and I know she doesn’t have anyone she likes.”

But then, taking him by surprise, Nangong Yan gave him a quick kiss, startling even Shao Hengjiang.

Nangong Yan said, “See? Do I need to explain further? I don’t fancy you, old man, so you can forget about that thought.”

Shao Hengjiang stood up, walked outside, and whispered something to the guard before leaving promptly.

“What are you doing, going around kissing people just like that?” Ye Chen exclaimed.

The girl’s face turned red, yet she remained defiant. She couldn’t believe this guy actually wanted her to marry the old man. Utterly despicable.

“It’s all over now, we’re really doomed. Look, you’ve driven the old senior away,” Ye Chen said anxiously, adding, “Hey, it’s not just for my sake, but also for yours. Marrying him, serving him well, that’s a small matter. What’s most important is your protection. You’ll get to live.”

Nangong Yan glared at him with her nostrils flaring.

Ye Chen went on, “Why are you so foolish? Although the old man could be your dad, he is still Shao Hengjiang, the Island Master of the Iron Ten Thousand Bandits. Even if he’s just a pirate, he’s still the boss. There are plenty who’d want to be his woman. Marrying him, you’re sure to be well looked after, with no worries about food or clothing for the rest of your life. Even if you break a leg, it won’t matter. I’m setting you up with a good match that could save us.”

“Should I thank you for that, maybe buy you a pig’s head to show my gratitude for your matchmaking?”

“No need for that. As long as you’re happy and living well in the future, I’ll be happy for you,” Ye Chen said, shaking his head. “Senior, come back, she was just joking with you. Don’t take it to heart. We can discuss this properly.”

Nangong Yan slapped him hard and shouted, “Discuss it with your head! Thinking you can just pass me off to the old man to save yourself from here, in your dreams. It won’t be that easy.”

Turning back, Ye Chen said, “Hey, what are you talking about? It’s not just about saving me; it’s about saving yourself. Do you really want to spend your life in this dark, sunless cage? Your father doesn’t even know you’ve been captured, and even if he finds out, it’s not certain he can rescue you. You could take pity on me; I’m in here because of you. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. Besides, you’d be marrying an Island Master.”

“A lot of people would kill for the opportunity, which might not come again. Although he’s a bit old, I reckon he could still live another thirty or forty years. Actually, dying early might be a good thing. By then, you’ll be the Mistress of Iron Ten Thousand Island; everything will be up to you. Though you’d be a widow, I believe there are plenty of men on the island. If you fancy it, having two of them serve you wouldn’t be out of the question.”

“I had no idea your mouth could run like this, just like farting,” she retorted.

“Don’t worry about whether it’s nonsense or not, just tell me if I’m right. It’s all for everyone’s sake. You could pity me a bit, couldn’t you? You risked your life to help those on the Jue Long Ship, and I’ve saved you twice. Consider it repaying a favor. Once I get rescued, I’ll serve you like Guanyin Bodhisattva, offering you incense every day.”

“Are you cursing me to die or what?”

Just then, two people came in with food. A skinny one asked, “Tired, aren’t you? If you’re tired, have something to eat first.”

Only then did Ye Chen stop to notice that the food was quite plentiful, there was even roasted chicken. Panic set in as he said, “It’s over, this is the last meal before execution.”

Nangong Yan pushed him and said, “Don’t act like a scared little girl, will you!”

“You’re tough. Though my life isn’t going to be long, I’d still like to live a few more days.”

Li Mo woke up. He had been knocked out with a club and couldn’t remember what happened afterward. Only when he opened his eyes did he realize he was locked in an iron cell.

Ye Chen picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

“Death row meal, and you can eat?” Nangong Yan asked scornfully.

“Heh, if you don’t eat, does that mean you won’t be executed?”

Ye Chen continued, “Listen up, just be a little obedient for a while, more ladylike, a bit charming, and negotiate nicely. I believe that old guy won’t give you a hard time. Right now, he hasn’t killed you, so you should seize the opportunity. So what if you have to become someone’s wife and bear children? It’s better than dying, it’s always better to be alive.”

“You’re so full of crap,” Nangong Yan said with disdain.

Who knows how much time had passed, and Li Mo was still utterly confused by their conversation.

Suddenly two people came in and shouted, “Bring that girl out.”

Ye Chen guessed that they were definitely going to bring her to that old guy. He hurriedly said, “Girl, be obedient, take good care of him. Don’t be angry. For my sake, be gentle. I, on behalf of the Ye Family’s ancestors, thank you in advance. Don’t get mad, whatever you do.”

Nangong Yan really wanted to kick him to death.

Soon, Nangong Yan was taken away. She had a long walk, and she couldn’t believe that the ship had not been sunk, its resilience was beyond her expectations.

She was brought into a dazzlingly opulent room and saw that old bastard sitting calmly, drinking tea. She was arranged to sit on a chair a full ten feet away from the old bastard.

The fellows who brought her in were about to tie her up when Shao Hengjiang waved them away.

The old man, smiling at her, sent chills down her spine. Nangong Yan found him strange, maybe due to the words Ye Chen had spoken. She had believed what Ye Chen said; she had even poisoned him. On the way here, she heard some fellows saying the Breeze Ship was taking on water. With such a big incident, the old bastard hadn’t laid a hand on her, which didn’t seem right.

Could it be that he really liked her? The thought made her skin crawl.

“Old man, kill or mutilate me if you wish, but don’t expect me to bear your children. If you dare to touch me, tonight I will turn you into a eunuch.”

Shao Hengjiang almost spat out the tea he was drinking from shock.

No way, is this guy really going to force himself on her? Nangong Yan’s martial arts were not great; what should she do? Her mind was filled with Ye Chen’s words.

“You really like that young man.”

Nangong Yan looked over, unsure of what he meant. Was he angry because she had kissed Ye Chen earlier? She quickly said, “Yes, I’ve fallen for him, so give up on that idea. I’m never going to be into you.”

Shao Hengjiang pondered; he and that young man had fought thrice, and indeed, the young man’s martial arts were impressive. He was someone who could achieve great things. Moreover, this girl had been in danger on the ship twice, and both times the young man had come to her rescue. That was enough to put him at ease regarding the young man’s character.

Nangong Yan, knowing her life was in others’ hands and could be taken in a blink, said, “Poisoning you and releasing the Water Dragon were all my doing alone. He didn’t know about it. That coward is afraid of death, so I didn’t dare tell him. I knew if I did, he would never let me do it. His later arrival was just to save me. None of this has anything to do with him. If you’re a real man, come at me with whatever you’ve got. Kill or mutilate, it’s your choice. If I beg for mercy even once, then I’ll take your surname.”

She’s indeed got some nerve.
