Chapter 1125 - 1125 1111 Challenge to a Duel

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1111: Challenge to a Duel Chapter 1125: Chapter 1111: Challenge to a Duel Nangong Yan followed Ouyang Yue, while Ye Chen had run off somewhere unknown again. That monkey was always so secretive; one moment he was right there, the next, vanished into thin air.

Nangong Yan was really curious about what had happened last night and said, “Are you sure you weren’t slept with by that big pervert?”

Ouyang Yue retorted, “You little wench, you’d really love it if someone slept with me, wouldn’t you.”

“Of course not, I know you’re too embarrassed to say.”

“Crazy girl, if I had been slept with, wouldn’t I know it myself!”

Nangong Yan chuckled and said, “I’m afraid you’re bottling it up inside, too afraid to tell anyone.”

“Don’t worry, how could I let that big pervert take advantage of me? But last night was indeed a stroke of luck. In the middle of the night, that big lug was trying to take me away, but he didn’t succeed. Right when I was about to be taken away, Ye Chen appeared,” recalled Ouyang Yue.

“That’s very timely.”

“Yeah, if it wasn’t for that big lug showing up, we wouldn’t have caught him. If we hadn’t caught him, we couldn’t have threatened him, and it would have been very difficult to get through the main gate. It was precisely because we captured the big lug that those people let us go, and we were able to get through the main gate.”

Shocked by the story, Nangong Yan said, “That was extremely dangerous.”

“Indeed extremely dangerous, an absolute disaster. I really do need to thank Ye Chen properly.”

“Did he barge into the dragon’s den alone? How did he find you?”

“He really did break in. There weren’t many people around in the middle of the night. I didn’t even expect him to come in. I was scared to death at the time, but he showed up, and the Black Demonic Spirit found me.”

“You must have been terrified of being molested.”

“You really are naughty. Ah, I was just one step away, he subdued Silver Fox, and we also released a whole bunch of people from the dungeon, including Shangguan Wudi. With Shangguan Wudi’s help, we managed to escape and then got to the cliff top.”

“Sounds pretty perilous.”

Ouyang Yue smiled and said, “Too bad you weren’t the main character.”

“Indeed, what a pity I missed such a great opportunity,” Nangong Yan remarked.

Ouyang Yue giggled and said, “We really should thank that guy properly.”

With a humorous tone, Nangong Yan said, “Hey, I’m just glad you’re alright. I was so worried all night, thinking you’d end up bearing that big lug’s child, which is kind of disgusting.”

Ouyang Yue’s hand flew up in a slap, and Nangong Yan quickly dodged, still a bit shocked, “Who would have thought they’d try to snatch me? I was too careless. But we really need to thank the Black Demonic Spirit. If he hadn’t quietly switched out the Key Box, and it had fallen into Pan Jianglong’s hands, it would be too late for anything now.”

“Yeah, lucky.”

“By the way, where’s the Key Box now?”

Nangong Yan replied, “It’s in my father’s possession.”

“Ah, it’s probably better for him to keep it safe,” Ouyang Yue said.

“I’m just relieved you’re safe. You scared me.”

“It seems I’m quite lucky. The heavens obviously don’t want me to have children yet.”

The Black Demonic Spirit, perched on a tree, had been listening to their conversation without uttering a word, until he couldn’t hold back and said, “You should be thanking me. If I hadn’t held onto the monkey, compelling him not to give up, he would have left long ago.”

Only then did Ouyang Yue notice the Black Demonic Spirit coiled on a tree branch, “How could that be? I think you’re the one who’s most afraid of dying. You must have persuaded Ye Chen to leave quickly.”

The Red Demonic Spirit burst into laughter upon hearing that.

Ouyang Yue said, “I knew I was right.”

“Rubbish, you got it totally wrong,” the Black Demonic Spirit continued, “It was I who found you. Since you’re not learning to be grateful, you even accuse me of being afraid to die.”

Ouyang Yue snorted disdainfully.

“Ah, no sense of gratitude at all, I know you all too well,” said the Black Demonic Spirit.

Nangong Yan started laughing.

“Just be careful, or you might get caught again and be molested on the spot next time,” warned the Black Demonic Spirit.

“You damn thing, you’d probably relish my misfortune,” Ouyang Yue complained.

The Black Demonic Spirit chuckled, “I wouldn’t wish misfortune on you. I’m just advising you to be cautious; luck won’t favor you every time.”

Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Yue said, “We absolutely can’t let those scoundrels like Pan Jianglong get away with their crimes. If we let them go, they won’t let us off. They must be wiped out.”

“You don’t have to worry about these things,” said Nangong Yan. “I’m sure our plan will be successful. We can deal with that bunch tomorrow. They won’t be able to run away. By then, we’ll avenge you.”

The plan was set. Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao discussed further, and Shao Hengjiang said, “For the sake of caution, I’ll have the other two ships’ people land on the island. There’s no need for your men to wait for them anymore.” He wanted to keep a backup ship’s crew just in case something unexpected happened, ensuring there would be a safety net.

“You want to hedge our bets,” Nangong Yao stated.

“Right, we need to be cautious. We can certainly trust Shangguan Wudi’s word for now, but we can’t fully believe him either. Keeping some safeguard is wise. Once my two ships’ people land and join forces with those already here, we’ll have enough to deal with Pan Jianglong’s men.” Shao Hengjiang had seriously considered this to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say,” Nangong Yao replied.

“Yes, hopefully we’ll thoroughly defeat Pan Jianglong tomorrow, settle matters swiftly. We’ve already spent a lot of time here, and I bet news of Xiyue Island’s reappearance has already been leaked. Before long, many Island Masters will arrive, and we could be looking at centuries of strife all over again.”

Nangong Yao couldn’t help but become vigilant, “You’re right in your thinking. We have all been on this island for quite a while; it’s only a matter of time before the news spreads.”

“Exactly, so we can’t delay any further. Once we defeat Pan Jianglong, let’s head straight to Sacred Spirit Mountain, without any more waste of time.”

“Fine, we’ll see the real deal tomorrow.”

Soon they finished discussing how they would coordinate with the people landing on the island the next day.

When Ye Chen returned, it was already dusk.

Two patches of afterglow lingered in the sky, seemingly reluctant to fade away.

Walking over, Nangong Yan gave him a thumbs up, “Not bad.”

“Meaning what?”

“Hero saves the beauty,” she teased.

“Hah, if it were you, I wouldn’t have bothered going,” he quipped.

Ouyang Yue chuckled while Nangong Yan glared at him with pursed lips.

Ouyang Yue said, “It’s settled. Tomorrow, we’ll challenge Pan Jianglong. They will surely be careless.”

Ye Chen quietly ate, speaking little, almost as if he had once again become part of the background. He often liked this way of being, zoning out now and then.

Nangong Yan nudged Ye Chen, “Can’t you be a little less gloomy?”

“I’m not being gloomy,” Ye Chen answered.

“After the battle tomorrow, we can go to Sacred Spirit Mountain. You should be happy,” she said.

“I am happy,” he claimed.

“Then why the long face?”

“I was pondering how to get rid of you at that time, to make sure you don’t cling to me indefinitely. If this continues, things might really become murky.” Ye Chen leaned against a tree.

“Do I annoy you that much?”

“No, you’re not annoying; it’s just that I myself am particularly annoying,” Ye Chen replied.

Nangong Yan sniffed, the sunshine illuminating her face as she gradually became quiet.

When Pan Jianglong received the battle letter from Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao, he was momentarily stunned. But whether or not to accept the challenge was a big question. Refusing would mean admitting cowardice, which would greatly undermine their morale.

This was Xiyue Island, after all. If they dared not accept the challenge, how would others view them?

Silver Fox spoke furiously, “Boss, let’s fight them. If we don’t accept the challenge, they’ll think we’re afraid, which is very bad for our morale. It’s just about a thousand men; we’re not afraid of them.”

Pan Jianglong looked at Yin Qi, asking, “Third brother, what do you think?”

After some thought, Yin Qi said, “Second brother is right. It’s just around a thousand more people. It’s not as if we are afraid of them. Besides, the battle location is not far from our camp. If we don’t fight, they will proceed to attack our camp next.

It’s better to face them in battle. If anything happens, we can always retreat. Since it has come to this, there’s no need for us to be so frightened that we cower.”

Heartened by these words, Silver Fox said, “Exactly! Who’s afraid of whom? Let them come boldly; first, we’ll dampen their spirits, then think of a way to wipe them out. We still have many plans.”

Yin Qi added, “This can also be a chance to thoroughly test them. It’s gotten to this point; there’s nothing more to say. They won’t let us off the hook, and we won’t let them off either. Since that’s the case, the only option left is battle.”

Pan Jianglong nodded slightly.

Silver Fox continued, “We’ll break their momentum first. Once they lose their edge, we can counterattack. They are no match for us; that’s a fact.

Honestly, I can’t sit still. They thought they had won. I think they must be daydreaming in broad daylight, or perhaps they’ve eaten too many sweet potatoes.”

Hearing his men’s resolve, Pan Jianglong decided, “Alright, since both of you are determined to fight, then there’s nothing else to say, let’s battle them.”

Silver Fox had been feeling suffocated for quite some time. Lately, their opponents had been evasive, prioritizing defense, which was not at all satisfying. It was tedious and irritating. He longed for a proper fight, and now the opportunity had come. He was eager to make a statement.
