Chapter 999 - 999 985 Encounter

Chapter 999: Chapter 985: Encounter Chapter 999: Chapter 985: Encounter Red Demonic Spirit gnawed on a roasted chicken leg, saying, “It feels like I just had a dream.”

“You’ve both lived for over a thousand years, yet you feel as if you had a dream!” Ye Chen said coldly.

“I really didn’t expect that we brothers could sit together, drinking and chatting joyfully. It’s really overwhelming,” said Black Demonic Spirit. In this manner, it indeed made it hard for others to believe that just a few days ago, he was all about fighting and killing, and now he’s like this, how could anyone believe he’s sincere.

Red Demonic Spirit clinked glasses, saying, “There are still plenty of good days ahead.”

“You don’t know the hardships I’ve faced following Gao Ba. I’ve developed a lot of patience. He made me swallow a lot of resentment, feeding me all sorts of messed up things, driving me nearly insane. When I said I couldn’t take it anymore, he didn’t care at all and kept forcing it on me as if I were invincible.” Black Demonic Spirit began to grumble.

“I understand, I can fully comprehend, brother, you’ve indeed gone through bitter times to arrive at the sweet.”

“Damn them, they’re not human at all, I find it very hard to trust others now. In the end, I can only rely on myself.”

“You’re not thinking of getting rid of us again, are you? I advise you against it. If someone else catches you and uses you as a martial arts practice dummy again, who knows what will become of you next time. Maybe there won’t even be a road to look back on,” Red Demonic Spirit said, glancing at Ye Chen.

Black Demonic Spirit raised his chicken leg, saying, “This time I’ll trust once again. Who doesn’t want a body? Living like a ghost is too hard.”

“But it seems there are many who desire the Sacred Spirit Stone. Look, they’ve all come for the stone; we should all cooperate nicely,” Red Demonic Spirit said.

“If it can get me a body, I don’t care if I have to kill.”

“Hey, we agreed to three chapters of the law,” Ye Chen said.

“Understood, rest assured, I’ll only kill the bad guys.”

Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps outside. Ye Chen was the first to hear them and said, “Seems like someone’s coming.”

Red Demonic Spirit quickly withdrew back to Ye Chen’s body with Black Demonic Spirit, and with a squeak, the door was pushed open. The door, which had been half-concealed, admitted two scrawny guys.

They looked like two petty thieves, sneaky and suspicious, dressed in movers’ attire; however, they were too thin for their clothes which were obviously too large for them, hanging with folds like long wrinkles pressed together.

Li Mo did not recognize them and said first, “You two, have you walked into the wrong room?”

As soon as the two entered and saw the table full of delicious food—Grilled Sesame Seed Cake, roasted chicken, glutinous rice chicken, and more—their eyes lit up with a green gleam.

“Eating,” said Nangong Yan casually, taking a seat without even asking if it was alright. The boyish girl behind her, who was slightly shy, was pulled up to join by Nangong Yan.

“Hey, did you not hear what I said?” Li Mo was dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was happening.

“With so much good food, you two can’t possibly finish it all; we’ll help you out,” Nangong Yan said.

“Are you two here to mooch a free meal? Get out now, we barely have enough for ourselves.”

“Big brother, don’t be stingy. We’re really hungry, and there’s nowhere to get food in the middle of the night,” Nangong Yan said unceremoniously as she grabbed a chicken leg, took a bite, and picked up the cup that Red Demonic Spirit had been drinking from. After taking a sip, she remarked, “This is indeed good wine. Do you have another friend?” How come there are four cups for two people and so many chicken bones eaten?

Ye Chen quickly said, “No, everyone else who ate is gone; it’s just the two of us.”

Li Mo stood up, ready to shove them back outside. But Ye Chen stopped him quickly; weren’t these two girls the same ones being chased earlier? He could smell that scent that made people want to sneeze again. No doubt, that scent wouldn’t deceive him.

“What’s the fun in just the two of you eating and drinking? With the two of us joining you for a chat, it’ll be much more interesting.”

This girl was certainly not shy. Ye Chen remembered what those men had said earlier; she was the daughter of the Island Master of Immortal Medicine Island. In this unfamiliar place, having an extra friend could prove useful anytime.

Li Mo was about to say something, but Ye Chen waved him off and pushed him out the door.

“Hey, these two really have no manners, actually coming here to mooch off us.” It wasn’t easy to get together such a feast, only to have it commandeered, especially by two movers.

“Didn’t you recognize them?” Ye Chen glanced inside before continuing to walk out.

“Recognize them?” Li Mo didn’t understand what Ye Chen meant.

The two had already gone out the door of the room.

“They are the two girls that the man with the horse face and beard wanted to catch.”

“What? Girls?”

“Keep your voice down; I remember the scent on that girl’s body. It’s the kind that makes you want to sneeze.”

“That doesn’t mean they can eat our food.”

Black Demonic Spirit popped his head out and said, “That’s right, I haven’t had my fill yet.”

“Alright, that’s enough. That girl’s father is the Island Master of Immortal Medicine Island. In these thirty-six islands, his name carries great weight. Who knows when we might need a favor,” Ye Chen said, information he had gleaned from his conversation with the man with the horse face.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, then failed to grasp the implication.

Nangong Yan was already wolfing down the food voraciously, while Qi Xue still seemed a bit embarrassed and said, “This doesn’t seem quite right.”

“What’s right or wrong? The most important thing now is to fill our bellies. Didn’t you say you were hungry? Then eat up quickly, it tastes pretty good.” Although she came from a wealthy family and had seen all kinds of delicacies, no gourmet food could compare to the pleasure and satisfaction of devouring a meal after being starving.

“You’re drinking alcohol, too. Don’t get yourself drunk.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits. It’s fine, hurry up and eat.” Nangong Yan was not about to be polite.

“Those are boys. We don’t even know who they are yet.”

“We are boys, too.”

Qi Xue thought for a moment upon hearing this, but still said, “It’s not safe here.”

“Hurry up and fill your belly.”

“I still think it’s better to find Eldest Senior Brother.” Qi Xue still felt it was safer to be with the Eldest Senior Brother.

“No, we can’t see him now. We have to wait until the boat sails far away. If they catch us now, they might tie us up on a small boat and send us back.” Nangong Yan still didn’t want to take that risk.

“So, are we staying here tonight?” Qi Xue asked worriedly.

“What, you want to stay outside and be blasted by the sea breeze? That’s not pleasant at all.” Nangong Yan shouted, “Are you going to eat or not? If you don’t, I’ll finish it all.”

Ye Chen came in with a smile and said, “Of course, we’ll eat; we haven’t had our fill yet.” The girl leading the way, even though she was dressed as a porter, one could imagine how beautiful she would look in a girl’s dress.

“Don’t worry, we’ll repay you for this meal,” said Nangong Yan.

“It’s just a meal, how much could it cost? It’s a small matter.” Ye Chen quickly introduced himself, “My name is Ye Chen, and he is Li Mo.”

Nangong Yan also introduced herself, “My name is Nangong Yan, she’s Ah Qi; you can just call me Yan’er.” After saying this, she started to regret it. She should have changed it to avoid being recognized, but it was too late; she had already said it.

It seemed there was no mistake, he had heard that the Island Master of Immortal Medicine Island had the surname Nangong; this certainly couldn’t be wrong.

Ye Chen nodded at Li Mo, seeing the two disguised as boys. They must be thirsty, after all, running such a long way, how could they not be? He said, “Li Mo, hurry and get a pot of tea.”

Li Mo quickly went to get it.

“You two are porters?”

Porters generally have a place to stay; how could they be starving? Nangong Yan said, “Someone is chasing us; we had no other choice.”

“What did you do?”

“Ah, just some trivial matters, offended a few big shots.”

Ye Chen, of course, knew what was going on, so he changed the subject, asking, “Is the food good?”

“It’s passable, I guess.”

“I hope so.” If they were really porters, how could this food just be passable?

“Will I be disturbing you guys if I stay here?”

“How could that be? It won’t disturb us. As you said, it’s just the two of us, too quiet; we were just thinking of making more friends. But we don’t know anyone; your timing is perfect. You can help us digest and relieve some boredom. You can even stay if you want; at night, we could keep each other warm.”

Qi Xue’s eyes widened as she exclaimed, “Keep each other warm?”

“It’s too cold here at night by oneself; if we squeeze together, it’ll be warmer.”

“No, no, no… we can’t.” Ah Qi was already dumbfounded.

“Why not? If I don’t mind you, why should you mind me? I know those porters snore loudly at night, like an earthquake; it’s unbearable. But I promise, I don’t snore, nor drool.” Ye Chen poured himself another glass of wine.

Without much thought, Nangong Yan responded, “Sure, I’d like that. Later, Ah Qi and I will keep each other warm, and you can do the same with your friend.” She was worried about where they would sleep tonight; surely they couldn’t sleep in the hallway. She wasn’t up for that. She still needed to avoid the Eldest Senior Brother, and this room had two big beds; surely, the Eldest Senior Brother couldn’t just barge in?

“Yan’er.” Qi Xue was getting anxious.

“I can keep you warm, too,” Ye Chen deliberately said.

Qi Xue jumped in fright and protested, “No way, absolutely not!”

“Why not? Do I have lice? Considering you’re all sweaty, it’s already very kind of me not to mind,” said Ye Chen, teasing.

“Still not okay,” Qi Xue insisted, but she couldn’t muster a reason.

It didn’t take long for Li Mo to return with the tea.

Worried that the Eldest Senior Brother passing through the hallway would discover them, Nangong Yan quickly said, “It’s a bit cold; could you close the door, please?”

Ye Chen waved his hand, and Li Mo closed the door.
