Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Two Troublesome Women

Alright, the hostage exchange is complete, everyone has developed a foundation of trust for cooperation, so next is how to take action. According to Gu Fan’s plan, we wait for the island to resurface from the sea tonight when the fog comes, and investigate what’s there.

Before, many sea serpents prevented them, forcing Gu Fan and his team to escape. Now, the sea serpents have been mostly eaten by the sea eagles, so that threat is no longer a concern.

The most troublesome issue, however, is the Stone Array. The giant stones form a huge maze that seems to move, and coupled with the fog, everyone just goes around in circles, delaying time.

A maze covered by fog is indeed tricky. Without a proper plan, everyone would probably be stuck repeating the process of landing on the island. Gu Fan doesn’t want to waste this time, as the island could drift somewhere unknown next time.

Everyone knows Gu Fan’s worries are valid, but the question is how to come up with a solution. It would be great if they could clear up either the fog or the labyrinth.

Qian Feng assures them that for her, dispersing the fog is a small matter and reassures everyone they have nothing to worry about.

With Qian Feng’s assurance, they all feel confident. They wait for the night when the moon is hidden and the wind is high, the fog appears, and the island rises from the water.

"Alright, let’s rest for a while. We move tonight." Gu Fan instructs everyone to rest. He also suggests that to ensure the well-being of the hostages, their health and safety should be reported every morning and evening.

Both the boss and Qian Feng agree without objections, and inform their subordinates to handle it.

Suddenly, Gu Fan thinks of something. The boss’s most capable subordinates, Leng Le and Hai, are hostages. He wonders how well the other subordinates will perform if the boss decides to make a move.

As it turns out, Gu Fan worried too much. Leng Le has a capable female supervisor, and Hai has a shrewd assistant. They can take the burden off the boss’s shoulders.

Soon everyone wakes up and find it’s already dark outside. Fog surrounds the area as the boat moves forward on the course that Gu Fan anticipated.

Gu Fan, curious about the dimly visible ships of various sizes in the fog, goes to ask Qian Ying. He wants to know how the Shennv Xuanhui learned of the island’s secret.

It turns out the Shennv Xuanhui encountered Lisa and her group. After an intense battle, Qian Feng emerged victorious, severely injuring Lisa and forcing the secret of the island out of two women in ancient Eastern attire.

Lin Xi is quite concerned about the two women in ancient Eastern attire, considering they used to be part of the Shennv Xuanhui. She wonders how Qian Feng ultimately dealt with them.

Qian Ying sighs, "Second elder sister, you know how our eldest sister is. Those two joined Lisa’s group, which is equivalent to betraying the Shennv Xuanhui, so our eldest sister mercifully gave them a way out, freed them from being Wandering Sea Ghosts."

"No way!" Lin Xi feels somewhat upset, thinking Qian Feng is too harsh.

However, Qian Ying has a different view: "You’re too merciful, second elder sister. Do you think it’s meaningful for them to live like this forever? Unable to bask in the sunlight, unable to step ashore, unable to experience this new world, and having to do harm to others non-stop."

Lin Xi doesn’t say anything. Rationally, she thinks it is acceptable for the eldest sister to do so, but emotionally, she has some trouble accepting it. So Lin Xi sighs and walks away.

Watching Lin Xi leave, Qian Ying shoots Gu Fan a flirtatious glance, "How’s it going handsome, are things stable between you and the second sister?"

Gu Fan confidently replies, "Not only are things stable, but our relationship is also getting stronger. Don’t even think about breaking us up."

Qian Ying shakes her head, "I’m not here to break you up. I’m here to give you some good advice. You know the second sister was a queen in her past life. Such a woman is not suitable for domestic life. Love can be sweet and harmonious, but once you’re married, you may find things don’t work out. There’s a song that goes, ’Love is always simple, living together is hard. If it’s not yours, don’t force it.’

"Congratulations, you can sing modern pop songs." Gu Fan seems as though he hasn’t been listening, but Qian Ying doesn’t give up: "According to our observations, you and Ning Qi are the best fit. We train Ning Qi as compensation for you. Consider it, Ning Qi is also pretty."

Hearing this, Gu Fan is speechless: "Why are you still pushing Ning Qi to me? And aren’t the women of the Shennv Xuanhui not supposed to mingle with men? Hasn’t Ning Qi joined the Shennv Xuanhui?"

"In Shennv Xuanhui, we have a rule that those who join need to go through a screening period. Only after this period can Ning Qi officially join Shennv Xuanhui and change her name to Qian Qi," Qian Ying explains, enlightening Gu Fan.

Qian Ying still has a hopeful look: "How about it? Consider it. If you think Ning Qi isn’t enough, we can find another one for you."

To this, Gu Fan only gives a token laugh, "No, thanks. One is already too much for me. Besides, doesn’t the Shennv Xuanhui despise men having multiple concubines? Why are you now forcefully advocating that for me?"

"Don’t men like to have multiple wives? If men are faithful, no matter what we say or do, you can uphold your own virtue. Don’t blame us," Qian Ying insists, leaving Gu Fan speechless.

"How about it Gu Fan, if you’re not satisfied with Ning Qi, whoever you fancy, even if they’re a big-star or an Internet celebrity, we’ll try to nab her for you." Qian Ying keeps encouraging Gu Fan, annoying him to the point of irritation. He finally snaps, "Well, I fancy you, are you willing to sacrifice yourself for me."

"This..." Qian Ying, blushing and vexed, flutters in embarrassment, "Stop it! How can you be so blunt!"

Gu Fan sighs to himself. What in the world is going on? What kind of tricks does Qian Feng still want to play?

At that moment, Leng Le comes over and says with a smile, "Alright, I would advise you not to bother. Gu Fan is extremely loyal, ordinary methods, or even the badger game, won’t work on him."

"Oh, so you have a method." Qian Ying looks hopeful. Leng Le slightly smiles and nods, "Of course, I do..."

Unable to bear it any longer, Gu Fan gets up and leaves. However, before leaving, he doesn’t forget to warn, "Oh right, Leng Le, just a reminder for you. Don’t think that you and Qian Ying, both being hostages, can support each other. You know what Qian Ying is capable of. It’s better to keep your distance, or else you’ll find yourself under control without even realizing it."

After hearing this, Leng Le is taken aback and subtly maintains his distance from Qian Ying.
