Chapter 1164 - 1164 1150 Acknowledging a Younger Sister

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1150: Acknowledging a Younger Sister Chapter 1164: Chapter 1150: Acknowledging a Younger Sister Ye Chen arrived at Ouyang Yue’s room and still felt a bit embarrassed since it was just the two of them. Nangong Yan definitely wouldn’t be involved in this, and since she and the others weren’t around, it was only the two of them, the young people.

“I’m not sure it’s appropriate for me to come to your room like this,” Ye Chen said.

“Wow, that’s really rare, for you to get shy,” Ouyang Yue said as everything was ready and she motioned the waiter to bring up the hot pot.

“I’m not shy, it’s just that you’re a girl and I really don’t mind, but you’ll need to get married in the future, and it might not be a good influence on you.”

Ouyang Yue laughed and did not expect him to be so pretentious. “Relax, I don’t care about it, so why are you scared? Are you afraid I’ll cling to you?”

“A little, to tell the truth.”

Ouyang Yue giggled. It seemed that the guy was quite sensitive. She was affected by what he said earlier while fishing, “Don’t worry, our personalities don’t match, and I wouldn’t fall for someone like you.”

“That’s debatable.” Ye Chen sat down and noticed there was a bottle of wine. “Aren’t you afraid you’ll lose yourself?”

“I’m good at holding my liquor.”

“I only know that it’s the good swimmers who drown.”

Ouyang Yue put all the tasty ingredients into the pot and then said with a sigh, “I don’t know why, but maybe it’s because of what you said tonight, it feels like you’re family to me, and it makes me really want to have a brother.”

“What, a brother? Don’t you need a lover more?”

Ouyang Yue replied, “You’ve made yourself so clear. Nangong Yan likes you, how dare I harbor inappropriate thoughts? This lifetime, it’s just impossible. Would you be willing to acknowledge me as your sister?”

Ye Chen was quite surprised and asked, “You want to make me your brother? Seriously? I only look like I could be your brother.”

“Being my brother? A lot of people wish they could be my brother but never had the chance.” She added some spices to the pot, and soon the entire room was filled with the scent of star anise.

“I thought you were going to throw yourself at me.”

“I don’t know why, the things you said today, they just made me feel like you were talking to me like a brother to a sister. Suddenly, I had the urge to acknowledge a brother. I don’t have family anymore. The other two are my elders, and Nangong Yan can only be a sister. Sometimes I really want someone to talk to.”

“So you’re looking for somebody to confide in. But I know that many lovers start out by acknowledging each other as siblings, and things slowly get out of hand.” Ye Chen relaxed a bit.

“Let’s say we’re comrades in misfortune. Having me for a sister, you should be content.”

“I say, having me for a brother, you’re the one who should be content.”

“I know you’re a Sect Leader, but I’m not bad either. If you help me take back the Sacred Spirit Sect, although I won’t become the Sect Leader, I might be able to help you.”

“It looks like you really can’t wait to acknowledge a brother.”

Ouyang Yue continued, “We get along pretty well, even though you are often unreliable. Having a brother is still better than not having one. I’m just asking you this one question, will you or won’t you?”

“What’s there to dislike? Having a sworn sister could come in handy someday.”

“You open your mouth and nonsense comes out.” Ouyang Yue added more spices into the pot, and soon the water started to boil. She felt incredibly lonely without anyone to rely on. Jiu Hu was Si Nanyu’s man and would help her wholeheartedly, but Jiu Hu had limited abilities. The other two elders had long left the Sacred Spirit Sect; she couldn’t always expect others to help her. If this “monkey” could help her, that would be great, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“So you really think I can be your brother? Who knows, maybe someday, if I see an opportunity for money, I’ll force you to get married,” Ye Chen hadn’t really thought about acknowledging a sister, but it felt fun. What’s wrong with having such a pretty sworn sister?

“It’s not too bad, passable.”

“You’ve got some nerve. Just ‘passable’ for me to be your brother? That’s what you say.”

“With your current situation, it’s really hard to say what will happen in the future. You can’t return to the Central Plains until things get better, and you can’t always follow Nangong Yan. I believe you wouldn’t want to. On these thirty-six islands, having me as a sworn sister means having a home. As long as I have a bite to eat, I won’t let you end up on the streets.”

Ye Chen laughed and said, “Even without you as a sworn sister, I don’t have to worry about ending up on the streets.”

“Hey, it’s better than nothing, right? Sacred Spirit Sect can be a place for you to stay. After I get rid of Qiandu Xiang, you’re my brother. How could I let you just die like that?”

“That’s true; it’s really worth considering.”

“Consider my ass; no need to think about it.” Ouyang Yue said quite impatiently.

“I still prefer being the younger brother.”

“I’m younger than you are. You want me to be your elder sister?”

“I meant, as the younger brother, I could occasionally act spoiled. As the elder brother, there’s no such right for me. It’s all pressure. Then you’d have the prerogative to act spoiled.”

Ouyang thought it was quite funny and said, “Do I look like a person who acts spoiled?”

“So this power should be left to me,”

“What would Nangong Yan think if she knew that I recognize you as my brother?”

“How would I know? She might be especially angry that you took the initiative and be stunned by it.”

Ouyang Yue raised her cup and said, “After drinking this cup, we will be recognized as brother and sister.”

“Just like this, without any ceremony or something? Shouldn’t this sister give her brother something?”

“It does seem a bit too simple.”

“Of course it’s too simple. Whatever you say, you should at least give me a set of courtyards.”

“Here, how can I give you courtyards? If you want courtyards, you have to help me reclaim the Sacred Spirit Sect first.”

Ouyang Yue continued, “If you help me get rid of Qiandu Xiang in the future, I won’t feel like I owe you anything.”

Ye Chen looked at her in surprise and said, “So that’s what you’re thinking. As your brother, it’s only right that I help you, so you won’t have any burden in your heart, and there’s no need to offer yourself in return, right?”

“Of course, why should a brother and sister bicker over such things?”

“Why do I feel like I’ve fallen into a trap?”

“What trap? Drink up, and you’ll be my brother, and I’ll be your sister. Hurry up and drink.”

Ye Chen was stunned and didn’t know what else to say.

The local influencer came to see Qiandu Xiang, who was somewhat polite to him, as he needed something from another—knowing all too well that the local influencer was not a clean-handed person, looked down upon by most.

He could empathize with that feeling, having also come up from the dregs.

Of course, the local influencer was thrilled. How high he could climb in his lifetime depended on whether he could grab onto this big opportunity by hosting Qiandu Xiang and his entourage at the top inn on Freedom Island.

Qiandu Ao thoroughly enjoyed the limelight for once.

The local influencer met with Qiandu Xiang.

Qiandu Xiang knew that the local influencer, Liu An, really wanted to take over as the Island Master of Freedom Island, but he had not been able to achieve his ambition due to lack of support. So, he said, “I’ve heard about your situation. You want to be the lord of the city. Rest assured, once I get the Sacred Spirit Stone and eliminate those traitors, I will help you right away, and then Freedom Island will be yours.”

Inside, Liu An was elated, but years of restraint prevented him from getting carried away, and he quickly responded, “As long as I can offer my humble help, I’m willing to assist.”

“Don’t mention helping, after this, we’re practically family,” Qiandu Xiang entered the hall where a large table of delightful food had been prepared, clearly arranged with great care.

Unnecessary people were asked to leave, as Qiandu Xiang had requested, because Nangong Yao and his group were set to arrive on the island the next day, and their plan was scheduled for the following evening. At this time, they couldn’t risk exposure; he didn’t want Nangong Yao to become wary beforehand.

Liu An waved his hand, and the waiter continued to bring dishes.

“How’s the situation? No abnormalities detected, right?” Qiandu Xiang asked.

Liu An replied respectfully as if he were a subordinate, “After receiving the Sect Leader’s message, I followed your idea and started closely monitoring the ships that dock on the island and stayed alert to the situation within the island. Up to now, I haven’t detected anything unusual.”

Qiandu Xiang was quite happy to be called Sect Leader, even knowing that Liu An’s respect stemmed from seeking favors. What mattered to him was that he needed help, especially on the unfamiliar grounds of Freedom Island. The saying went well: even a mighty dragon cannot pressure the local snake. Having local influence on his side would, of course, increase the chances of success.

He didn’t care about what benefits the other party wanted; the most important thing was to help him seize the Sacred Spirit Stone.

“Hmm, not bad. If this plan succeeds, you’ll be accredited with the highest merit,” Qiandu Xiang said.

“I will do everything in my power to assist the Sect Leader and eliminate those traitors as soon as possible.”

“Hmm. Nangong Yao will set foot on the island tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, they will restock and spend one night on the island before departing the next day.”

Liu An kept nodding.

“At that time, we will act together. But before we move, we’ll destroy their ship first.”

Qiandu Ao was beside himself with joy, saying, “Then they’ll be like fish in a barrel, and the Sacred Spirit Stone will definitely be ours.” He was already envisioning the moment he obtained the Sacred Spirit Stone, when everyone would respect them, and they could eradicate all rebels in one fell swoop.

Qiandu Xiang said, “Don’t get too happy too soon. Although no abnormalities have been discovered yet, who can guarantee that Shao Hengjiang won’t come by then?”

Yang Zuotai said, “As long as we keep an eye on the seaside, if they do come over, we won’t let them land. We’ll try to snatch the Sacred Spirit Stone before they can set foot on the island.”

This fell perfectly in line with Qiandu Xiang’s own thoughts.
