Chapter 1329 - 1329 1315 Entanglement
Chapter 1329: Chapter 1315: Entanglement Chapter 1329: Chapter 1315: Entanglement “I really think Song Xizhi is quite good, he’s absolutely devoted to you,” Ye Chen changed the topic back again, although he thought it was pointless, but aside from continuously brainwashing her, he couldn’t think of any other clever tactics. He discovered that the girl was more stubborn than ever.
“If you think he’s so good, why don’t you marry him?” Guo Yuyun said offhandedly.
“Of course, if I were a woman, and he liked me that much, I would definitely marry him, otherwise, I’d be a fool.”
“You’re the fool.”
“Do you know, on Lotus Leaf Island, the night you were drinking, Song Xizhi drank too.”
How could Guo Yuyun not know about this.
“You really hurt him too much,” Ye Chen said with a hint of blame.
Guo Yuyun retorted, “And did you hurt me less?”
Caught off guard by her question, Ye Chen stuttered for a moment before responding, “That’s because you’re not reasonable. If you were, I wouldn’t need to provoke you.”
“Then keep provoking me if you think it helps.”
It was clear that the girl intended to be stubborn to the end; otherwise, she wouldn’t have made such a remark. Ye Chen murmured, “You’re too unreasonable. That Su Zhanze is really bad, how could he do such a thing.”
Guo Yuyun glared at Ye Chen and said, “I bet you wish I only found out you were alive after I got married, right?”
“If that were the case, things would be much simpler now.”
A bone flew out of Yun’er’s hand, striking him squarely in the head. If it had been true, she would have been incredibly upset. This guy was actually saying that would have been better, which was infuriating.
“Think about it, I’m in such a state, where I could go mad and bite people at any moment, just like a rabid dog, so inhumane. Aren’t you afraid to be around me?”
Guo Yuyun scoffed coldly, “No worries, I can cure rabies. I’ve shown that during my beast taming.”
“So you really plan to treat me like a wild beast you can control?” Ye Chen shook his head, continuing to eat, taking a few sips, but sadly, not of wine.
“I’m telling you, stop trying. You can’t outdo me,” she said.
Looking over at her, Ye Chen was surprised by her confidence and said, “You’ve stolen my line, I should be the one saying that to you.”
“Then go ahead and try,” she challenged.
“No need to try; you must be out of your mind to talk like that without knowing the situation,” he replied.
“Why do you have to be like this?”
“Like what?”
“So stubborn, always needing to challenge me.”
“It’s not that I’m stubborn, it’s you who’s stubborn, you just don’t understand my good intentions.”
“What you think is good, might not seem good to me,” she countered.
“That’s because you’re unreasonable.”
“I think you’re not much better, just self-righteous,” she argued.
Who knows how long had passed, but eventually, the two keeping watch were changed, and the day slowly turned to night.
Meng Xiuluo had fortuitously captured Ye Chen, an unexpected windfall. Going to Lotus Leaf Island was just for resupplying, after which she had planned to return to the Island of the Wicked. She hadn’t anticipated such a fortuitous gain.
However, at that time, a continual stream of messages from the Island of the Wicked instructed her not to return, mentioning that Longhun might have left. Yet at this moment, she had no idea where Longhun would go after leaving the Island of the Wicked, causing her some concern.
The night was pitch black, and lanterns were lit all over the ship. Meng Xiuluo was still pondering whether she should hand over the Wolf King’s Ring to Longhun. For some reason, she hesitated, something she would never have done before, likely because she knew what giving the Wolf King’s Ring to Longhun would entail.
With the Sacred Spirit Stone already in Longhun’s possession, if the Wolf King’s Ring also fell into his hands, the blockheads in the Immortal and Demon Realms would definitely not match for Longhun.
But she found that she was becoming like Shi Xueqin, who knew Su Zhanze was the enemy who killed her father, but because she loved him, she would rather save him. Meng Xiuluo, too, knew of Longhun’s ruthlessness, but she didn’t want him to be in danger.
She tried every possible way to help him, as if it was predestined, she just couldn’t stand by and watch.
Footsteps approached, and the one coming was Xiang Yi, her assistant and her maid.
Seeing Meng Xiuluo lost in thought, knowing she was worried about Longhun, Xiang Yi said, “Don’t worry, that guy Su Zhanze won’t be a match for Longhun.”
Meng Xiuluo looked up at her and asked, “Do you think I should give the Wolf King’s Ring to Longhun?”
Xiang Yi knew just how much Meng Xiuluo liked Longhun, that she would do anything unconditionally for him, and that she had hesitated before. She responded, “It depends on what you think.”
“Alas, do you know? I promised Shi Xueqin I wouldn’t help Longhun do evil things anymore.”
“But you know that once Longhun is saved, he won’t settle down and will definitely come out to cause trouble,”
Meng Xiuluo countered, “It’s Su Zhanze forcing him. If Su Zhanze does not let the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan go, Longhun must do so.”
“Really? Maybe you are the only one who would believe that reason.”
At a loss for words, Meng Xiuluo said, “But that group from the Immortal and Demon Domains are indeed no good. Shouldn’t we seek revenge?”
After a moment of silence, Xiang Yi spoke, “This has long since stopped being about revenge,” as she poured her a cup of tea.
“But I really don’t want to see anything happen to him.”
“I understand.” Xiang Yi had been with Meng Xiuluo the longest and knew her best.
“So do you think I should give him the ring?”
Xiang Yi replied, “I don’t know.” She didn’t want to influence Meng Xiuluo’s decision, and she truly didn’t know.
A subordinate rushed in, holding a piece of news they had just received, and quickly handed it over to Meng Xiuluo upon entering.
The message was brief, stating that Longhun had just left the Island of the Wicked but hadn’t shaken off Su Zhanze.
This somewhat surprised Meng Xiuluo.
Xiang Yi said, “The people from the Thirty-Six Islands now know we are on the Island of the Wicked and are hurrying here. If Longhun and the others cannot escape from Su Zhanze, I’m afraid there will be danger.”
Meng Xiuluo thought the same and said, “Hurry up, we need to get there fast.” Perhaps they could still help; Meng Xiuluo was a bit anxious.
The subordinate quickly retreated.
Longhun fought with Su Zhanze and his men that night, but the Zun Yu group didn’t cooperate at all, as if they were afraid someone else would snatch the Dragon Slayer Sword before them.
Su Zhanze seized the opportunity and actually withstood the joint attack, delivering a heavy blow to Zun Yu and his men.
Longhun called off the joint attack. Mo Ku’s analysis wasn’t wrong—if they dragged it on and the people from the Thirty-Six Islands arrived, it would be dangerous. Those from the Thirty-Six Islands were after him not just for the Sacred Spirit Stone, but also to avenge those who had died, especially Iron Ten Thousand Island, whose leader he had killed.
And there was Nangong Yao’s group, who, despite limited abilities, would complicate matters if they interfered, making it hard to predict the outcome. Hence, they couldn’t take that risk; it wasn’t worth it especially with Zun Yu’s group being so uncooperative, as they might turn their guns on them at any moment.
Considering this, Longhun decided it was best to play it safe and, after some thought, he felt that the best strategy was to make a retreat.
He also knew that two ships from the Sacred Spirit Sect were heading this way—a message sent back by messenger pigeon from Meng Xiuluo. By now, his presence on the Island of the Wicked was common knowledge, and there was no point in staying on the island any longer. It was best to leave right away.
Engaging in a battle to the death with the Immortal City Sect at this point would be a fool’s errand. He wasn’t hot-headed and wondered why not wait until he fully understood the Sacred Spirit Stone and then devise a way to deal with them. That would give him a better chance of winning, and then he wouldn’t need to fear the Dragon Slayer Sword.
Using the involvement of Zun Yu’s group and the anger of the people on the Island of the Wicked, they began to evacuate from the island in batches.
What he hadn’t expected was that Su Zhanze had actually followed them out. Despite all that effort, they hadn’t managed to shake off Su Zhanze, though he didn’t bring too many people with him.
Since Su Zhanze needed to deal with Zun Yu and fend off those from the Island of the Wicked, he could only leave Ling Li to cover their retreat. But discontent, he set out after them with a single ship.
Even Mo Ku was shocked, muttering, “To have not shaken them off, it’s truly miraculous.”
“It seems Su Zhanze really hates me, to be so unwilling to let go of the Sacred Spirit Stone,” Longhun smiled.
Mo Ku said, “They’re aware if they give us two months, they won’t stand a chance against us, so they’re reluctant to let go.”
“Well, that’s not bad, I think so too. So he wants to cling to us like a mangy dog, not wanting us to just run away.”
“But they’ve only got one ship; they can’t amount to much. Once it’s dark, we’ll surely come up with a way to shake them off. This is our turf after all, and we know it better than they do,” Longhun declared as they had fled west for an entire day after leaving the Island of the Wicked.
One of the subordinates asked, “Where will we head after we’ve shaken them off?”
Longhun said firmly, “To the Central Plains.”
Mo Ku was taken aback, “Isn’t that very dangerous?”
“The most dangerous place is the safest. They won’t know we dare to return to the Central Plains.”
Mo Ku nodded in agreement, “Alright then, right under their noses.”
Longhun called out, “Alright, get ready. Once it’s dark, we’ll figure out a way to shake them off.”
“By then, Ren Haotian will meet us, so it shouldn’t be too bad.”
“Yes, we need to make good use of Ren Haotian, he could be very useful.”
“Then I’ll go and get ready.”
