Chapter 1056 - 1056 1042 Getting Married

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1042: Getting Married Chapter 1056: Chapter 1042: Getting Married Nangong Yan looked at Ye Chen, who was spouting nonsense.

“Did I say something wrong?” Ye Chen asked.

“How can your mouth be so good at spouting nonsense.” Nangong Yan was also confused, unable to figure out what Shao Hengjiang was up to.

“Hurry up and eat, fill yourself up so you’ll have the strength later. Don’t leave any regrets in your life,” he ensured Nangong Yan had plenty of food.

Nangong Yan would’ve been surprised if she hadn’t been baffled. She had done so many things, and Shao Hengjiang actually let her off. Although she didn’t take their marriage seriously, why would he do such a thing? Was it really just so they could have company on the road after death? Impossible. Unless this guy got kicked in the head by a donkey, why would he do these things?

Because she said those words, he actually took them seriously? That wasn’t right either. He should be gritting his teeth with hate. He was a ruthless pirate after all. What was his reason?

Ye Chen, drinking fine wine as if it were his last supper, said, “Ah, dying like this would be worth it.”

“Aren’t you afraid that today really might be your last day?” Nangong Yan questioned.

“We’ve consummated the marriage. Life’s pretty much over. What’s there to be afraid of? Fear won’t help now; I’m in someone else’s hands.” Ye Chen continued eating.

Nangong Yan shook her head, unable to believe that any of this was real. It couldn’t be real, there was no reason for it. She racked her brain but couldn’t figure out why Shao Hengjiang would do this.

After gobbling down a filling meal, Ye Chen called out, “Come on, let’s celebrate a complete life.”

“You rascal.”

“What about it? Shouldn’t we start with a bit of romantic atmosphere?”

Hearing this, Nangong Yan got off her chair and moved past. Ye Chen dodged and muttered, “Still daring to claim you have someone you like. I don’t see any loyalty in you.”

“What’s there to be loyal about? We’re going to die in a couple of days. I believe you haven’t fully lived your life either.”

“Go live out your life. Don’t disturb me.” Nangong Yan wanted to think things through and figure out what the damned Shao Hengjiang was up to.

Ye Chen lay on the bed, picking his teeth with a toothpick, equally puzzled. There must be something he didn’t know. The plot was unfolding so strangely—fine food and drink, and even helping him marry. He guessed even his mother, back when she was alive, would’ve done the same.

“Where are your Black Demonic Spirit and Red Demonic Spirit?” Nangong Yan inquired. She wanted to send the Red and Black Demonic Spirits out to scout the situation and see if Shao Hengjiang was indeed mentally deranged.

“They were taken a long time ago.”

“By Shao Hengjiang?”

“Who else but him!”

Ye Chen hadn’t slept well the previous night and was drowsy. He asked, “You really didn’t tell that old man anything?”

“What could I have said? I just told him to lose hope because I would never marry him.”

“And then you said the person you liked was me, right?”

Nangong Yan didn’t respond, which was as good as an admission.

Ye Chen found this odd and murmured, “This guy is really interesting. It makes no sense.”

“What makes no sense?”

“All of this makes no sense. It doesn’t explain why he’s been so good to us!” Ye Chen was filled with doubts.

Nangong Yan, shaking her head, said, “How should I know? Maybe the guy really is a psychopath. Who knows what he’s thinking.”

“The Breeze Ship is leaking, yet he doesn’t punish us. Instead, he provides us with food and drink and even arranges for us to get married. If he’s not putting on an act, then I must be the one who’s gone mad,” Ye Chen continued rambling, glancing at Nangong Yan as he spoke, “What a pity.”

“A pity about what?”

“It’s a pity it wasn’t with the person I like,” Ye Chen explained.

“I’m the one who feels it’s a pity. How did I end up marrying you?” Nangong Yan snorted.

“Heh, you have the nerve to say that. You kissed me, and I haven’t even settled the score with you yet,” Ye Chen rolled his eyes disdainfully.

“I definitely will not take it seriously,” Nangong Yan declared.

“It’s best if you don’t. Nothing would please me more.”

“Let’s just try to find a way to escape.”

“How can we escape? We’re on this broken ship, surrounded by the sea. We’re eating and drinking well here, why run?”

“Didn’t you say they might kill us?”

Ye Chen found it incomprehensible. That day, other than someone knocking on their door on time to bring them food, no one else came in. When Ye Chen asked them, they didn’t respond.

As night fell, Nangong Yan asked, “Are you sure I’m not dreaming?” She had asked this more than once that day.

“I was about to ask you the same thing,” Ye Chen was ready to just sleep after eating.

“Get lost, you’ve already been lying on the bed all day. It’s my turn to rest up there.”

“Go on, then. We’re already married; what’s there to be shy about?” Ye Chen said.

“Get lost. Go sleep on the ground,” Nangong Yan squeezed her way onto the bed.

“Why should I sleep on the ground while you take the bed?”

“Because I’m a girl.”

“Do girls matter more than the heavens?!”

“Please, have some pity on me, I’m really tired.”

“If you’re tired, let’s sleep together.”

“No, I’ve never slept with a boy before.” Nangong Yan was afraid something might happen.

“There’s always a first time.”

A kick came flying, and Ye Chen was kicked out, with the blanket thrown at him.

“It’s so unreasonable, rejecting my goodwill like that, you’ll regret it sooner or later.”

Ye Chen could only hug the blanket and sleep on the wooden planks.

It got quiet outside, and it was very dark, with only the sound of the waves hitting the hull, and two red candlelights flickering to the left and right.

“You resemble her.”

“Who?”

Nangong Yan continued to ask, “The girl you saved when you went up Sky Mountain to retrieve the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus?”

Ye Chen fell silent.

“Then in your heart, you must like her sister more.”

“You’re so annoying,” Ye Chen turned over, his back facing the other person.

“I see, you’re very conflicted inside, you don’t even know what you want yourself.”

Ye Chen closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Shao Hengjiang was playing with a piece of jade in his hand.

Wan Liyun had heard some things that didn’t make sense to him, and at this moment, someone rushed in with a carrier pigeon message. He took a note, which was about Ye Chen’s identity after the first time they’d crossed hands; he had sent people out to investigate Ye Chen’s identity, and this was precisely the information he’d been waiting for.

“Big brother, I really don’t know what you’re doing,” Wan Liyun said, clearly puzzled.

Shao Hengjiang looked over and said, “Like you, I can’t believe all this is true either.”

“Is she really your…”

Today, Shao Hengjiang had asked the girl her age and horoscope, becoming even more certain of his suspicion. He said, “Nangong Yan, there should be no mistake.”

Wan Liyun could hardly believe it.

“When I found out, I couldn’t believe it either. But now I think it must be true.”

“What the hell is going on?” Wan Liyun was surprised; he had never heard of this matter before.

“It’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you in detail some other time,” Shao Hengjiang continued to ask, “Have you found Qiandu Xiang and the others yet?” They’d already destroyed one ship, and now they were still searching for Qiandu Xiang’s Shark Ship.

“We are still looking; they can’t have gone far, we will definitely find them.”

Shao Hengjiang nodded and said, “The Breeze Ship obviously can’t keep up anymore, now we only have this ship, so we have to be extra careful.”

“Understood, I’ll be careful,” Wan Liyun left.

Ye Chen thought all night, and when day broke, the girl slept quite comfortably, as if nothing had happened, cooing like a dove.

In the morning, just like yesterday, someone delivered delicious food on time, as if they were waiting on a young master.

Not long after breakfast, someone came for Ye Chen, saying, “Kid, the Island Master requests your presence.” It was clearly more polite than the previous two days, not like he was a captive, but rather a guest.

“Shouldn’t this girl come with me?” Ye Chen asked curiously.

“No need, just you by yourself is fine.”

Ye Chen glanced back at the girl, then followed the two men, who weren’t as serious as they had been at first.

He was led into a room, where only Shao Hengjiang was present, the man who had defeated him. After enduring the night, he was eager to understand what was going on, saying, “Alright, whatever game you’re playing, spit it out.” He was attracted by a piece of jade on the tea table next to Shao Hengjiang; it seemed familiar.

“Let’s cooperate.”

“Cooperate?” Ye Chen didn’t understand what he meant.

Shao Hengjiang said, “Ye Chen, Sect Leader of the New City Sect.”

Ye Chen was stunned; he had no idea how this guy knew.

Although Shao Hengjiang claimed no supernatural abilities, being one of the major pirates, it was not very hard for him to learn about things in the Central Plains, especially something like verifying Ye Chen’s identity, which was even easier. He said, “At first, I thought you were from the Dragon Slayer Island because you used martial arts from the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual. But since you have the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit, and I know the Red Demonic Spirit is held by the Sect Leader of the New City Sect, that ring around your neck, if I’m not wrong, should be the Wolf King’s Ring.”

Ye Chen was alarmed by his accuracy. He hadn’t expected Shao Hengjiang to have such detailed knowledge, just short of knowing the color of his underwear. But it quickly made sense to him; after all, he was a major pirate and gathering this information wouldn’t be very difficult.

Shao Hengjiang continued, “I think you want to use the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone to destroy the ring you are wearing and break the curse on you. But alone, you have no chance. If we could cooperate, it would be different.”

Ye Chen poured himself a cup of tea, drank it down, and stared intently at him. He had indeed hit the nail on the head.

“The Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit also want the power of the Sacred Spirit Stone to restore their bodies. They would be very willing to cooperate with me. It’s just a matter of what you think,” Shao Hengjiang said, playing with a jade piece in his hand that clearly bore the character ‘江’.

These two sorry excuses for Demonic Spirits would probably confess everything once threatened with torture. With Black Demonic Spirit’s big mouth, there would be nothing left secret, he thought. “I help you get the Sacred Spirit Stone, but after all, you’re a pirate.”

Shao Hengjiang knew what he was worried about; after all, Ye Chen was the Sect Leader of the New City Sect, a man who had sided with the heavens and the Demon Domain and defeated the Dragon Slaying Clan twice. He was concerned with justice and worried that if the Sacred Spirit Stone fell into the wrong hands, it could lead to even greater disasters.
