Chapter 1137 - 1137 1123 Leaving Xiyue Island

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1123: Leaving Xiyue Island Chapter 1137: Chapter 1123: Leaving Xiyue Island “Of course, I believe in the strength of both your fathers,” Ye Chen continued, “but I also have a responsibility for the release of the Moon Beast and the Evil Spirit. I failed to stop Qiandu Xiang and gave him the opportunity.”

“How could you be to blame?” Nangong Yan was surprised.

“Let’s not talk about it,” Ye Chen said, eating the barbecued meat.

Nangong Yan continued, “Tomorrow, two ships will set sail ahead of time to draw away the ships from the thirty-six islands. We will find a way around and on board, my fathers will work out a way to help the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit regain their bodies, and then help you destroy the ring.”

Ye Chen nodded slightly.

“You must have been looking forward to it for a long time.”

Ye Chen was remarkably composed, truly feeling neither overjoyed by gain nor saddened by loss.

“That girl, she won’t get married so quickly,” Nangong Yan said jokingly.

Ye Chen also smiled and said, “I have never worried about that.”

“How could you not worry? In these few days, your worries have all been written on your face. I’ve also heard that the girl’s mother is very formidable, very likely to force her to marry,” Nangong Yan said.

“Heh, you’re really overthinking it.”

“If I’m overthinking, then tell me, why have you been so preoccupied these days?”

After a moment of silence, Ye Chen said, “I don’t know, maybe after experiencing a lot, one gradually becomes more sensitive.”

“You’re only eighteen, and you dare say you’ve experienced a lot.”

“Experience can’t be measured by age. Some people may live to a hundred without really understanding the world, while others, young as they are, may have witnessed the vicissitudes of life.”

“Do you dare to say that you understand the world, that you’ve seen the changes of the sea into mulberry fields?” Nangong Yan asked offhandedly.

Ye Chen replied, “Who dares to claim they understand the world? Maybe we never will. It’s just that the more we experience, the clearer we see.”

“So, what have you seen?”

Ye Chen thought for a while and said, “I’ve seen that people are truly very insignificant. Don’t think that you’re so remarkable for doing a few big things; in reality, you’re still just a mortal. Look at me, after wearing the Wolf King’s Ring, I realized how helpless human beings are. Guo Yuyun nearly died—if it hadn’t been for the luck of finding the Sky Mountain Snow Lotus, she really would’ve passed away.”

“Was it this incident that shocked you?”

“Not entirely, but it had some influence. All we can do is our best, there’s no need to think too much about the rest,” he said.

Nangong Yan took a sip of water and asked, not understanding, “I don’t get it.”

“Like this Sacred Spirit Stone, and the ring in my hand, everyone is scrambling to get them. For what purpose?” Ye Chen asked.

After giving it some thought, Nangong Yan said, “Obviously, to control everything, to make everyone obey them.”

“And then?” Ye Chen prodded.

“They themselves become the ruler,” she said.

“What’s that got to do with happiness or joy?” he asked.

“Of course, it’s related. If you control everything and become the ruler, aren’t you happy?” she replied.

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, “Not necessarily. Many times, happiness only exists in your mind. If you think you’re happy, you are happy, and often it has little to do with the outside.”

Nangong Yan was even more confused and said, “You’re speaking too abstractly; it doesn’t sound like something a person would say.”

“I just want to say that happiness is an attitude, not something to be compared. Many people just want what others can’t have, believing that is happiness,” Ye Chen explained.

Nangong Yan gnawed on the barbecued meat and asked, “Are you happy now?”

“I think I should be considered happy because I don’t want too much,” he replied.

“In that case, do we still need to destroy the ring?” she queried.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Of course. Destroying the ring, I can live a longer life; why wouldn’t I want to live longer? Only a fool wouldn’t want that.”

Nangong Yan laughed heartily.

Suddenly, Ye Chen said, “Sometimes, I feel that girl, many times she is right, some of her ideas surpass mine.”

“What do you mean?” Nangong Yan, aware that he was referring to Guo Yuyun, inquired.

Ye Chen continued, “She’s brave, knows what she wants, and then strives for what she wants in her heart without giving up, living freely.”

“Does that mean I should learn from her, do the same?” Nangong Yan asked.

Ye Chen startled, indeed shocked, said, “You must be joking with me!”

Only then did Nangong Yan giggle and say, “Don’t worry, I’m not that deep in my feelings for you.”

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

“Am I really that frightening?”

Ye Chen thought seriously and said, “No, it’s not that you’re frightening, you’re exceptionally frightening.”

Nangong Yan understood. Ye Chen had told her from the beginning that he already had someone he liked, clearly intending to keep her at bay. She couldn’t help asking, “If there was no Guo Yuyun, would you consider me?”

“I haven’t even thought about that question.”

“Then let’s consider it now.”

If Ye Chen didn’t give her an answer that made her happy, she wouldn’t let it go, saying, “Maybe.”

Yu Yun smiled.

Ye Chen continued, “You’re not going to try to kill her just because I said that, right?”

“It’s possible, yo,” Yu Yun said jokingly.

“You’re no match for her; she’s more ruthless than you and stops at nothing.”

“I think, maybe only such a person could subdue you.”

“Maybe,” Ye Chen took a couple of drinks of water. The stars were still pretty plentiful tonight, and the sea breeze kept blowing incessantly.

Hearing Ye Chen say that he would consider her if Guo Yuyun weren’t in the picture, Yu Yun was still very happy, even if those words were just casually said to appease her.

“I also feel like this journey has had more experiences than all of my seventeen years combined.”

“That profound?”

Yu Yun thought for a moment and said, “I never expected to meet you, and meeting you was one thing, but also finding my own father was beyond my imagination.”

“You don’t reject him that much anymore, do you?”

“Ah, like you said, I was bound to accept him sooner or later. But the things he has done recently, they’re quite impressive. I’ll forgive him,” Yu Yun stated as she looked into the distance.

“Yeah, you should. Why make yourself suffer and be miserable? Life is just a few decades long, why torment yourself over it?” Ye Chen sighed deeply.

Before long, Ouyang Yue came running up, calling out, “I’m not interrupting you two having a secret affair, am I?”

Ye Chen replied, “Definitely, we were just getting to the hands-on part, and you showed up. Such a buzzkill.”

Yu Yun blushed and quickly stood up.

Ouyang Yue walked around the area and said, “I didn’t expect the scenery here to be that beautiful.” The sea wind lifted her hair, making it flutter like willow leaves.

“Don’t fall off; no one will save you,” Ye Chen called out.

Yu Yun also ran over.

The next day.

Ye Chen boarded the “Flying Ship.” Early this morning, two ships set sail first. Those two were, of course, meant to draw attention and deviate the people of the thirty-six islands.

Aside from those two girls, Shao Hengjiang and Nangong Yao also came aboard the Flying Ship. They were there to help, so they definitely needed to be on board.

Watching the two ships leave, Li Mo murmured, “I hope they won’t get into trouble!”

Ouyang Yue answered, “No, they won’t. The Sacred Spirit Stone isn’t in their hands; the people of the thirty-six islands won’t trouble them, as there’d be no point.”

Many other items were carried onto the ship. Ye Chen found the room allotted to him. The room was small, good for two people—one being him and the other, Li Mo.

Yu Yun and Ouyang Yue were arranged in another room directly across from theirs.

Yu Yun followed Ye Chen, bouncing along. Ye Chen turned around and asked, “Are you regretting not having the bridal room last time and want to switch to my room now?”

With a snort, Yu Yun said, “Keep dreaming.”

“Then why are you following me?”

“Who said I’m following you? I’m looking for my own room.” Yu Yun dashed ahead, continuing to walk on as Ouyang Yue called out from the front, “Girl, it’s this way.”

“How close they are, what a setup.” Ye Chen was somewhat impressed with Shao Hengjiang, surely it was Shao Hengjiang who had arranged it.

Entering the cabin, although it was small and couldn’t compare with the room from the last time they got married, having a ship to leave Xiyue Island on and a place to rest at night was already much better. He dared not ask for more.

The ship made its final preparations.

Ye Chen found his spot and opened the window, letting a breeze blow in.

The Red Demonic Spirit appeared, and Yu Yun took the Black Demonic Spirit away.

Ye Chen looked as the ship slowly pulled away from the coast, feeling quite sentimental.

Li Mo said, “I’m going to get some good food and drinks.”

“That’s not necessary, surely someone will bring them over, don’t worry,” Ye Chen replied.

“Sect Leader, I feel it’s improper to share a room with you.”

Ye Chen joked, “Then you go and swap with that girl, she’d definitely agree right away.”

Li Mo gave a chuckle and said, “Nah, I won’t disturb you. I’ll go ask Shao Hengjiang how to destroy the ring later and how to help the Red Demonic Spirit and Black Demonic Spirit regain their forms.”

“Don’t disturb them. If they’ve agreed to help, they’ll do it. We just boarded the ship, and the Island Master of the thirty-six islands is nearing. We still don’t know where Qiandu Xiang’s people are, so it’s best not to bother them,” said Ye Chen.

“Alright, then I’ll go out for some fresh air.” Li Mo left first.

Ye Chen stayed in the room alone, feeling utterly bored and opened the Sacred Heavenly Technique to read again.
