Chapter 1374 - 1374 1360 Going through the Woods

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1360: Going through the Woods Chapter 1374: Chapter 1360: Going through the Woods A tall ship, over twenty feet high, was essentially complete, about seventy to eighty percent finished. Judging from the current progress, it would only take another ten days to half a month before they could set sail. Unbelievably, they had already been living on this desolate island for over a month.

Meng Xiuluo counted the days and didn’t know what the situation outside was like, whether the great battle had already begun. Once Longhun successfully researched the Sacred Spirit Stone, he would definitely seek revenge against the people of the Demon Domain. She was very clear about this.

Xiang Yi walked over, saw Meng Xiuluo deep in thought, and asked, “What’s the matter, don’t you want to leave?”

“Actually, besides being too primitive and having to obtain our own food, everything else here is pretty good. I actually kind of like this place. It’s quiet and there’s no killing,” Meng Xiuluo said.

Xiang Yi replied, “I’m afraid that even if you want to stay, your subordinates won’t want to continue staying here. They still prefer the bustling little cities outside.”

“Of course I know that.”

“You’re still pondering whether the big battle outside has already ended, aren’t you?”

“To be honest, I don’t want to get involved in those affairs anymore.”

“Did that cheapskate influence you?”

Meng Xiuluo let out a slight smile and said, “He hasn’t influenced me yet.”

“Hmm, I believe that. In fact, you were already tired of that life of constant fighting, but every time it’s because of Longhun that you get involved again.”

“How can those two brothers be so different, one always thinking about controlling everything, while the other seems to have only justice in his heart?”

“Looks like you really have changed.”

“Hmm.”

“I guess you’re not planning on taking the Wolf King’s Ring from him anymore.”

“Seeing him in such a state, do you still want the Wolf King’s Ring?”

“True, the Wolf King’s Ring isn’t anything good, but Longhun really wants it.”

“I won’t get involved in their affairs anymore.”

It was the first time Xiang Yi heard Meng Xiuluo say this, and she said, “You’re serious about what you just said?”

“Really, I’m tired and don’t want to be involved anymore.” This time, they left the Island of the Wicked with over four hundred people on the ship. Now, only about a hundred remained. Many people they spoke with just days ago were gone forever.

“No matter what decision you make, I will always stand by you.”

Meng Xiuluo smiled.

“It seems that him saving your life has really changed you a lot.”

“Truly, without him, I might have died and wouldn’t have been able to think of a way to save you all. He was somewhat helpful,” she admitted.

“Indeed, we can’t overlook the help he provided us, especially that night against Ling Li. Without him, we would’ve been captured long ago.”

Meng Xiuluo glanced around and asked, “Where are those two?”

“They probably went up the mountain to see the Liuyun Waterfall,” Xiang Yi continued, “With things as they are, we really should cherish our time. Who knows, we might die at any moment, and wouldn’t that be a pity.”

Meng Xiuluo let out a slight laugh of disbelief.

“Let’s hurry up and finish building the ship then.”

“If you don’t want to be involved in the turmoil outside, why the rush to leave?”

That’s true, why the rush to leave? It’s only to find out what the situation outside truly is.

“By that time, those two brothers will probably start fighting again.”

“Let them fight. I don’t want to be involved anymore.” Having narrowly escaped death, she was thoroughly exhausted.

“I wonder how things are going outside,” mused Xiang Yi.

Meng Xiuluo muttered, “What else can it be? Longhun will definitely hide at first, thoroughly research the Dragon Slaying Secret Manual, and then come out. When he does, his first move will be to settle the scores with the hundred and eight islands. As for the rest, well, you don’t need me to spell it out.”

“Have the people of the Demon Domain left the hundred and eight islands?” she wondered.

Meng Xiuluo replied, “If the leader successfully researches the Sacred Spirit Stone, they won’t stand a chance against us on the hundred and eight islands.”

“That’s right, the hundred and eight islands are our territory. How could the Demon Domain stand a chance against us? If that’s the case, we might as well prepare to leave.”

“No need to rush,” Meng Xiuluo said slowly, “Let’s go see the Liuyun Waterfall too.”

“Since when are you in such a mood?”

“If others can enjoy it, whispering sweet nothings, why shouldn’t we experience it?” Meng Xiuluo wanted to relax a bit; after all, having survived a brush with death, she had come to see many things differently.

“Too bad I’m not a man,” Xiang Yi said.

Meng Xiuluo had basically no work on her hands. She could leave it to others and didn’t have much to do during the day.

Ye Chen was being dragged by Guo Yuyun up the mountain.

During this period, they climbed the mountain every other day, making Ye Chen feel more and more like a monkey. After all, no matter what, one can suffer from aesthetic fatigue, and climbing wasn’t meant to be like this.

Guo Yuyun had nothing else to do at the foot of the mountain. Following those guys always left her feeling a chill down her spine. It was hard enough to make it to this island, so when presented with the opportunity to bond, she wanted to cherish the time, to enjoy the scenic view on the mountain. What’s wrong with finding some good food and passing the time leisurely?

“Every day you take me deeper into the forest like this, it’s easy for me to get the wrong idea,” Ye Chen said.

“Get the wrong idea?” Guo Yuyun looked over.

“Of course, a man and a woman, alone at our age, sneaking into the forest—what else could we possibly be doing?”

“I think you’re just rotten to the core.”

“Rotten to the core? Am I wrong though! There’s indeed something wild about it, but playing ‘beast and beauty’ sounds thrilling, doesn’t it? Let’s play beast and beauty then. I’ll chase, you run—how about that?”

“What happens to the loser?”

“Naturally, the loser gets treated however the winner wants—that goes without saying. Once caught by the beast, isn’t it at the beast’s mercy?”

“I think your entire brain is just filled with messy thoughts.”

“How can you say they’re messy? It’s perfectly normal, okay? Coming to the forest every day and not spicing things up a bit—I think playing beast and beauty would be exciting enough.”

Walking ahead, Guo Yuyun said, “What if we get lost? Let’s not play. It’s already afternoon anyway. If we’re going to play, let’s do it next time.”

“Such a killjoy. I was really looking forward to getting wild, but it seems I’ve missed the chance,” Ye Chen said.

“I think you’re all talk.”

“What do you mean?”

“You talk about going wild, but you’re just like a girl.”

That remark hit hard, as if saying he wasn’t manly at all. Ye Chen countered, “You really want to be a widow with a child, don’t you? By then no one will dare to marry you.”

“I don’t care about that.”

“You may not care, but I can’t do harm to others. I can’t do such a thing. If Sister Nie found out, she’d skin me alive.”

“Always bringing up my sister,” Guo Yuyun pouted.

Ye Chen chased after her, following closely behind, and continued forward, saying, “You even get jealous over your sister’s vinegar.”

“I think it’s time to have a child.”

“No way, you really intend to become a widow with a child someday? Impossible for you to get married then. Even if Song Xizhi were the best match, his father would probably not allow him to marry someone who’s had a child with another man. It would be so awkward, waking up and realizing the child isn’t his, thinking about the woman being with someone else before… People outside would gossip, saying whatever they want, and while you might tell yourself it’s nothing, over time it will definitely cause problems. I understand these things, claiming it’s all fine, but internally bleeding.”

“You’re just overthinking things.”

“It’s not overthinking. Who doesn’t want a pure partner, devoted only to themselves? Even I would feel the same. For example, if your sister really broke up with Su Zhanze and started dating me, I’d be uncomfortable too.”

Guo Yuyun stopped and turned around. How could this annoying guy say such things? She exclaimed, “Are you constantly hoping my sister and Su Zhanze will break up so you have a chance to be with her?”

“Hey, I was just making a comparison, nothing more. I’m just telling you a fact,” he replied.

“Bullshit.” Guo Yuyun’s eyes bulged with anger as she shouted, “If you didn’t harbour such thoughts, you wouldn’t just blurt out something like that.”

Ye Chen hurriedly explained, “Really, no, it was just a metaphor to illustrate that Song Xizhi wouldn’t want you anymore, so I can’t possibly do such things to you, how could I harm you like that?” He quickened his pace, passing her to walk in front.

Guo Yuyun didn’t believe his nonsense, shouting, “Do you dream of being with my sister?”

“How could that be, absolutely impossible.”

The situation in Bell and Drum City had already bothered Guo Yuyun enough, and his words only added to her speculation.

“Hurry up and clarify things for me.”

“Clarify what?” Ye Chen didn’t turn around.

“Clarify whether you were thinking of my sister when you hugged me.”

Actually, she and her sister did look somewhat alike, but he could never admit it, saying, “How could that be possible.”

“Don’t walk away.”

“Hey, don’t overthink things, it’s really not good.”

“So, you were actually imagining my sister.”

“These are all your thoughts, not mine.”

“You jerk, do you always think of me as my sister?”

“Really not, I’ve said it’s just a metaphor.”

“Then why don’t you use someone else for your metaphor, instead of bringing up my sister?”

“The only example I have close to me is your sister.”

It was infuriating, he must be doing it on purpose.

Suddenly, a mountain cave appeared ahead, and Ye Chen instinctively stopped, feeling a demon wind rushing out from inside, giving him goosebumps unwittingly, like he was interrupted mid-thought.

Guo Yuyun was so angry she kicked him, but then to her surprise, he didn’t jump up. Instead, he stared ahead, prompting her to look in the same direction.
