Chapter 1379 - 1379 1365 Barbarian

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1365: Barbarian Chapter 1379: Chapter 1365: Barbarian “How could it be a bad fate!” Guo Yuyun let out a sigh.

“It’s not enough of a bad fate yet, she even has me deal with monsters,” Ye Chen said.

“Doesn’t that just prove how extraordinarily capable you are!”

“I’d rather she had asked someone else directly.” Ye Chen, resting his hand on her shoulder, continued, “I haven’t even had my fill yet, let’s go eat some roast chicken.”

“Not had your fill yet! I thought you’d had your eye full.”

“How could I?” Ye Chen slung an arm from one side to the other over her shoulder.

But Guo Yuyun wasn’t falling for it, pushing his hand away as if she didn’t want to deal with him and was about to leave.

Ye Chen well understood that this was the time to plead urgently. If she really didn’t want to deal with him, she wouldn’t have come over in the first place.

“Right now we need to think of a way to quickly leave this island. Once we’ve left, I’ll never meet her again.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Yuyun scoffed coldly, “Wouldn’t that be a pity? After all the trouble, just as feelings start to develop, you plan on never seeing her again? Impossible.”

“A pity? I don’t think it’s a pity at all. That woman, she’s too crafty. Who knows, she might even be scheming to snatch away my Wolf King’s Ring.”

“Really! I don’t think so. Look, her gaze towards you is different now.”

Ye Chen sighed, saying, “Is it?” Then he added, “Ah, let’s stop talking about this, let’s talk about tomorrow instead.”

“I don’t have anything to talk about with you.”

“Hey, don’t be like that, okay? We can’t afford to provoke them now. We need to wait until they get us off this damned island. Without them, both of us are stuck here.” Ye Chen followed closely behind Guo Yuyun.

Guo Yuyun continued walking ahead.

“You don’t usually get mad so easily.”

“Have I gotten mad?” Guo Yuyun countered.

Ye Chen hastily said, “No, you’re not mad.”

“I know what you’re thinking.”

“You definitely don’t.”

“You just want to hide on this island, stay for a few days, so you can see her next time she goes bathing in that open-air pool.”

“Are you crazy? The Pangu Beast is still on this island. All I’m thinking about is leaving as soon as possible. Right now, no one knows the situation in the Demon Domain. Whether Longhun has already fought the people of the Demon Domain, no one knows. You should realize that I’m really anxious.”

Suddenly, Guo Yuyun was reminded, that’s right, no one knows the current state of the Demon Domain.

“If the Demon Domain is defeated by Longhun, I’m guessing that the human world will be in great chaos. Although Su Zhanze has the Dragon Slayer Sword, he might not be a match for Longhun, whose intellect is very sharp. The last time I won against him, it was because I fought desperately, risking everything, and that’s how I seized a chance.”

Hearing this, Guo Yuyun also fell into deep thought, seemingly not as angry as before.

“All I want now is to leave this damned island as soon as possible and then get away from this group that might stab us in the back at any moment. No matter how many times we’ve saved them, you mustn’t forget, they are from the Dragon Slaying Clan after all. They will always stand with the Dragon Slaying Clan and might stab us in the back at any time.” Ye Chen tried to bridge the distance between them.

“You never know, maybe if you were willing to sell your charms, that girl would follow you and even help you out.”

“Stop joking, she likes Shi Longhun.”

“How would you know that?”

“To tell you the truth…” It seemed that unless he explained, this girl would have a hard time falling asleep tonight. So, Ye Chen recounted what he had learned from Meng Xiuluo after she was captured by Zang Di last time.

“So they met on Slaughter Island after all.”

“Yes, Longhun must have been her lifesaver, and after that event, she fell in love with Longhun and has been following him ever since,” Ye Chen continued. “So there’s no possibility between her and me. You and I are the perfect match that was made in heaven.”

“Who’s the perfect match made in heaven with you?”

This young lady was like this—insisting on being with him a short while ago and now she was saying this.

Ye Chen hurriedly explained the plans for the next three days, “So starting tomorrow, I have to keep the Pangu Beast occupied and find a way to stop it from coming this way. In three days, the boat should be ready, and then we can leave this damned island.”

“You’re going by yourself?”

“Of course not. I’m not capable enough to do it alone. She will send a group of subordinates to help me. But what I’m saying is that you shouldn’t follow me anymore.”

“Why not?”

“It’s too dangerous. This is not a joke. If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to do it. If not for the worry that it would destroy our boat, I wouldn’t be involved in this at all. If our boat really does get destroyed, we’ll have to stay here for another month. I believe you surely wouldn’t want that.”

Guo Yuyun didn’t say a word.

“Really, who would risk their life to fight a monster? It’s plain madness. If it wasn’t out of concern that our means of leaving would be ruined, I wouldn’t bother. If the boat is destroyed, we’ll be stuck here for much longer, and I’m sure you wouldn’t like that one bit,” Ye Chen said earnestly.

Guo Yuyun sighed deeply.

“I know you don’t like her, but we need them to help us get off this island, don’t we? If we really upset her and she abandons us on the island, what would we do? You and I, with no experience in the Dark Sea Territory, how would we get away? Even if there was a chance to leave, it might not happen for ages,” Ye Chen explained.

Guo Yuyun still did not speak.

“Ah, don’t you understand my true feelings! Today was just an incident, completely unexpected,” he implored.

Dawn was beginning to break.

Ye Chen also woke up, not knowing when the monster inside the cave would go out to forage and whether it would come their way. No one could guarantee their safety, so they had to find a way to keep an eye on the creature. If it really headed their direction, they needed to lure it to the back mountain. That was their opportunity.

The Barbarian was making preparations on the other side. He was Meng Xiuluo’s most capable assistant.

After spending over a month on the same boat, and as someone who was good at observation, Ye Chen could tell from his gaze towards Meng Xiuluo that the Barbarian fancied her. If even this had escaped his notice, the past month would have been a waste.

Although the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan kept a distance from Ye Chen, with the time they had spent together, he had come to understand some things. It seemed Meng Xiuluo was fond of Longhun, but Longhun appeared to only have eyes for Shi Xueqin. The Barbarian, originally admired only for his strength, had been just a minor figure on Dragon Slayer Island, often bullied by others.

In the Dragon Slaying Clan, there was a rule that only those who had achieved merit could rise to prominence, or had someone above to give them a push. He too wanted to rise but lacked support. That time he nearly died, it was Meng Xiuluo who saved him, and from then on, he followed Meng Xiuluo.

Step by step, after Xiang Yi, he became Meng Xiuluo’s most trusted assistant. Meng Xiuluo’s beauty was rare even within the Dragon Slaying Clan, but he knew she only cared for Longhun. He didn’t mind, and was content to contribute to her cause silently.

Ye Chen walked over to him and said, “What’s going on, is everything ready? If so, let’s head up the mountain. That creature might start hunting for food anytime.”

Last night, Meng Xiuluo had told the Barbarian to listen to this “cheap merchandise” for the next three days and cooperate in dealing with the Pangu Beast, keeping it away from the front mountain. If not for Meng Xiuluo’s instructions, the Barbarian would have never agreed. Dealing with a monster alone was well within his capabilities—why should he listen to this kid?

This kid didn’t seem too sociable—no, it was probably because of yesterday’s incident. Seeing the jealousy in Ye Chen’s eyes, it was clear that he was not pleased internally.

“We need to cooperate well. Neither of us wants anything to go wrong,” Ye Chen was well aware that he couldn’t handle things on his own. If something unexpected really happened, he would indeed need help, and it was better than being on his own.

The Barbarian called out to the people behind him, bellowing, “Hurry up, that thing could come out to hunt at any moment. If it heads toward the front mountain and destroys our ride home, none of us will be able to go back.” He had to make the situation sound grave to get his subordinates to take it seriously.

“Has that girl talked to you about it or not? Just nod quickly; she said that all of you should listen to me,” Ye Chen pressed.

“Got it,” the Barbarian said impatiently. In his view, this kid was just someone who had saved Meng Xiuluo once. Girls are soft-hearted and easily moved, and she had developed a bit of fondness for him.

He had suggested to Meng Xiuluo that they take back the Wolf King’s Ring, but she had said they would talk about it later. He had no idea what Meng Xiuluo was really thinking. It seemed as if the Wolf King’s Ring was no longer as important. Yet, in his eyes, the Wolf King’s Ring was extremely important, especially once they left the island. Its importance would become evident immediately. If this kid left the island and returned to the Central Plains, he was sure to help those in the Realm of Immortals and Demons against their Dragon Slaying Clan. If the Wolf King’s Ring remained in his hands, Longhun would face another rival. The last defeat of the Dragon Slaying Clan was due to the Wolf King’s Ring.

But without Meng Xiuluo’s approval, he couldn’t just agree. He knew Meng Xiuluo’s temperament—she disliked subordinates who didn’t follow her commands the most—so he restrained himself. Otherwise, he would have already taken action.

Sensing his hostile tone, Ye Chen knew they had to cooperate and couldn’t afford any discord. If something happened and they failed to pull through, it would spell doom. They had to clear up any misunderstanding quickly, “Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me? I have no interest in your leader. What happened at the pool yesterday was completely accidental. If I had known Meng Xiuluo was there taking a bath, I definitely would have told you,” he conjectured that the Barbarian was upset about the incident.

The Barbarian suddenly looked up. In that moment, it was as if his secret had been uncovered. He glanced around as if afraid that someone had discovered his own secret.
