Of course, she was wearing a tight-fitting dress that was stuck on her body due to the water. Therefore, it couldn’t be counted as a severe breach of conduct.
Her swimming ability was extremely good. It was really similar to a fish that was filled with energy and strength in the water. Yang Dingtian rarely saw such a beautiful and healthy body curves that were exactly like a mermaid.
Yang Dingtian didn’t stare at her for long before lowering his head quickly as he turned his gaze away. After which, he hid underwater as usual. If he was to head out right now, he would never be able to clear the misunderstanding. Therefore, it would be better for him to wait until this lady had finished swimming and leave before he would float up.
All in all, this was good news since someone had unexpectedly come to this island. This signified that there were ships around since there were people here. With the ships around, this implied that Yang Dingtian would be able to leave this island.
But unexpectedly, this lady kept on swimming without an end. Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but grow somewhat anxious.
This wasn’t the main issue. The main problem was this woman had actually starting diving down.
Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but grow anxious. He could only pray that this woman wouldn’t dive till his side and discover him.
But things would always turn out exactly like what a person wished. That woman had submerged to the depths very quickly. After which, she discovered Yang Dingtian, who was under the water.
At first, she was in shock as she revealed an indignant gaze. Subsequently, she rapidly swam upstream like a fish, she then reached ashore and disappeared from Yang Dingtian’s field of vision.
Yang Dingtian didn’t head up immediately because he wanted to give the lady ample time.
Ten minutes later, Yang Dingtian swam upstream with all his strength as he felt that the lady ashore ought to have dressed appropriately.
He immediately saw the woman was holding onto a sharp sword on her hand once he surfaced. She stood at the shore and thrust at Yang Dingtian suddenly.
*********************
“Lecher, eat my sword!”
It turned out that this woman had been waiting for Yang Dingtian to show himself while keeping her guard up and holding onto her sword ashore.
The thrust was ruthless and sharp. It pierced towards Yang Dingtian’s chest directly.
Yang Dingtian joined his fingers to form a sword as he wedged the incoming sword in between his fingers. After that, he borrowed the force to leap out of the water as he hopped ashore.
“Lecher, accept your death.” That woman was not willing to listen to his excuses as the sharp sword on her hand was thrust over once again.
Although Yang Dingtian had fully consumed all of the mystic qi in his body, he was still able to block off this woman’s sword easily due to his sword mastery level because he had cultivated the world’s number-one Pig Slaying Sword Art.
His right hand shot out like lightning as he wedged the incoming thrust of the sharp blade from the woman. Afterward, he accomplished a great task with little effort by clever maneuvers by seizing away the sword from her without any trouble.
“Young Lady, you need to get your facts right. I was executing the spiritual tribulation underwater first, and I have no idea when you have arrived to swim. Therefore, what reason was there for you to stab me without distinguishing who was in the wrong?” Yang Dingtian spoke.
“Since you saw me, why didn’t you show yourself? On the contrary, you submerge yourself underwater. You clearly harbor evil intentions!” That woman yelled angrily.
“I was just afraid that you would be embarrassed once I revealed myself. Therefore, I wanted to wait until you had left before emerging out from the water. Who knew you would continue to swim without an end.” Yang Dingtian replied.
“You think I would believe you?” That lady rebuked, “Who knows what kind of dirty thoughts you had since you had submerged yourself underwater. Perhaps, you were waiting to have a look at me changing.”
Yang Dingtian smiled bitterly immediately. He truly had no idea how he should justify himself momentarily. He could only reply helplessly, “How about this, I swear that if I spoke a lie, I must be executed and destroyed by heaven and earth.”
That girl stared at Yang Dingtian profoundly for a long time. After which, she reached out her hand, “Return my sword.”
Yang Dingtian was startled for a moment. Was she letting this matter go just like that? So easy to deal with?
Yang Dingtian returned the sword back to her. It was unknown if she truly believed Yang Dingtian’s words, or was it because she had no means to deal with him. Perhaps, she herself was a magnanimous and straightforward lady. Therefore, she chose to let this incident off so easily.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian took note of this lady’s appearance. Unexpectedly, it was a rarely seen beauty. Her eyes were very big. They were slightly pricked upwards and were filled with vigor. She had a very small oval face with a tall nose and an extremely exquisite lips.
It seemed that she was a lady who was extremely opinionated with a unique personality. It was just that at this moment, her face was bearing a slightly lethargic look as if she had exhausted herself for a very long time.
“Why are you staying on this island alone?” That lady looked at Yang Dingtian and inquired.
“My ship had been damaged and is unmovable.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Therefore, I have been waiting for a ship to pass by here. It had already been ten days, and you are the first person I have seen on this island. Do you have a ship?”
“Of course I do.” That woman replied, “It just so happens that my ship had passed by here. I’m feeling unwell, and I learned that there is a freshwater pool here. Therefore, I came over to swim. But who knew you would be here.”
“Sorry. It really wasn’t intentional.” Yang Dingtian replied embarrassingly.
“It’s fine. Just blame it on my luck.”The woman replied as she waved her hand. On the contrary, she was very straightforward.
Yang Dingtian wasn’t fond of what she said. What did she mean by blaming it on her luck? Clearly, he was the one who was inside the pool first. Besides, during then, she was wearing a swimming suit with her whole body being covered. There was nothing for her to be taken advantage of.
However, this woman standing before him was already very reasonable. Therefore, Yang Dingtian didn’t say anything. Subsequently, he inquired, “Can I ride your ship and leave? Just send me to the Northwest Continent will do. I can pay you for the service.”
That woman beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, “I can let you ride my ship to leave. It’s on the way as well. There’s no need for any pay.”
“Thank you.” Yang Dingtian replied.
“It’s nothing much.” The woman replied, “I’m called Ling Wu. What about you?”
“Yan Nantian.” Yang Dingtian replied.
“Follow me.” Ling Wu replied, “However, my ship will sail until the Inferno Island. That’s my home and is about 400 miles away from the Northwest Continent. But when the time comes, I can arrange a ship to send you to the Northwest Continent.”
“I’m really grateful.” Yang Dingtian commented.
“It’s nothing much.” Ling Wu replied, “However, you would need to wait for a while. I would need to refuel the potable water on the ship as well as tidy up the junk on board. I would probably need two hours.”
“Alright. Thank you, Young Lady.” Yang Dingtian replied.
“Why do you keep thanking me. Truly boring.” Ling Wu commented.
Yang Dingtian smiled embarrassingly, and it just so happened that he was going to take advantage of this time to execute the mystic qi breathing cycle.
“Than I shall no longer bother Young Lady.” Yang Dingtian replied. After which, he walked to a desolate corner and sat down with his eyes closed. He controlled his breathing while utilizing the mystic qi breathing cycle.
************************
In just two hours, Yang Dingtian had forcefully recovered more than half of his battle mystic qi in his qi sea.
“Hey, Yan Nantian, time to go.” Ling Wu yelled from the outside.
“Alright.” Yang Dingtian stood up and walked out.
Currently, Ling Wu had changed into a dress. She wore a tight shark-skinned swimsuit undergarment with a sturdy dress on the outside, making her look even more threatening and heroic.
Only now did Yang Dingtian take note of her appearance.
Unexpectedly, she was extremely charming and beautiful. Her eyes were very big, and her pretty face looked somewhat shrewish. Clearly, she was very powerful.
Yang Dingtian followed behind her until they reached the coast. The ship she was referring to was unexpectedly big. It was several meters long and seven to eight meters tall. And there were close to a hundred people on board.
Currently, the ship was filled up all kinds of goods. Very clearly, this ship was a cargo ship.
“Young Lady…”
“Hello, First Young Lady…”
“Greetings, First Young Lady…”
When they went on board, everyone stopped whatever they were doing and saluted or sent their regards whenever Ling Wu passed by. They looked extremely respectful. Furthermore, all of these greetings came from the bottom of their heart. It seemed like Ling Wu was very reputable and popular on this ship.
After they got on board, Ling Wu brought Yang Dingtian to a cozy cabin, “You can reside here. There will be people sending you food and drinks. When you are bored, you can head to the deck to relieve your boredom. I will not be attending to you since I still have something else to handle.”
“Please do as you please, Young Lady.” Yang Dingtian replied.
After Ling Wu left, Yang Dingtian discovered that this cabin actually had a lingering fragrance. When he took a glance around the stuff inside, he realized that everything here belonged to a female.
This cabin ought to be Ling Wu’s since it was so cozy, and Yang Dingtian’s heart immediately turned fervent. This woman might seem shrewish and was not very polite with her words, but her heart was actually so cordial. She and Yang Dingtian were total strangers. Yet, she had actually given Yang Dingtian her own cabin.
Indeed, some people were innately warm-hearted and compassionate. They would provide the best stuff for the others, even if they were entertaining a stranger.
A girl had sent over top-quality fruits, desserts, and fragrant tea not long after Ling Wu had left.
“Please enjoy your meal. I would send food over when it’s lunchtime. Would this guest like to drink alcohol?” The girl inquired respectfully after placing down the fruits and desserts.
“There is no need for alcohol.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Could you help me to thank your Young Lady on my behalf? Also, thank you for sending the stuff over. I have troubled you.”
The girl’s cheek turned slightly red as she replied, “You’re welcome. This guest is too polite.”
Following which, she lowered her head and left the cabin.
Yang Dingtian felt bored after staying inside the cabin for a while. Furthermore, the location was unsuitable for him to carry out the spiritual tribulation and was even more unsuitable for cultivating his mystic skills.
Might as well rest for half a day! Yang Dingtian left the cabin and walked to the deck.
A portion of the ship’s movement depended on the sail while the other portion depended on human paddling beneath the ship. Therefore, there wasn’t a lot of people on deck.
A slim and seductive silhouette stood at the prow of the ship as she gazed at a distant location, and faint melancholy could be seen on her beautiful face.
But when she felt that someone was walking over, the melancholy on her face immediately subsided. When she turned around and saw it was Yang Dingtian, she immediately nodded her head and did not speak.
Yang Dingtian would never ask her what was she worried about since their friendship was very shallow.
“Young Lady, is this ship used for shipping merchandise?” Yang Dingtian inquired.
Ling Wu nodded her head, “Our Inferno Island had relied on shipping to make a living for many generations.”
“It’s very tough, right?” Yang Dingtian couldn’t help but inquire when he saw there were traces of hardships on Ling Wu’s beautiful face.
“In this era, what is not tough?” Ling Wu replied, “So long as we can live quietly and safely, it would be a blessing from the heavens.”
“That’s right.” Yang Dingtian sighed.
“Yan Nantian, if it’s not presumptuous, what do you work as?” Ling Wu inquired.
“Me?” Yang Dingtian thought for a moment before replying, “A person that is trying to fight against his destiny at all cost.”
“Who isn’t?” Ling Wu commented, “As a woman, I can’t stay at home to learn embroidery and sewing. Rather, I have to bump and drift at the seas.”
“Since shipping is so exhausting, especially to the ladies, why isn’t Young Lady handing it over to someone to handle?” Yang Dingtian replied.
Ling Wu shook her head, “I have no brothers. I’m the only child my father has. Currently, he is bedridden due to serious injuries, and there are thousands of people that need to have a meal on the island. Therefore, I could only pick up this difficult task.”
“Young Lady is really amazing.” Yang Dingtian replied, “Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to take care of even myself. Otherwise, I will certainly lend you a hand.”
“It’s already very good to be able to mediate my worries just by talking to you.” Ling Wu smiled, “Currently, I am just hoping that I will be able to find a strong shoulder that I can depend on. After which, I would hand this heavy responsibility to him while I would stay at home to do laundry and prepare the meals as I live a peaceful and ordinary woman’s life.”
As usual, Ling Wu looked extremely scholarly and did not have the slightest bit of embarrassment when she was speaking about this topic.
In fact, she held no sentiments when she told Yang Dingtian about it. It was just a description of how an exhausted woman was trying to find a person to depend on.
“Young Lady is so outstanding. You will definitely be able to find a remarkable husband.” Yang Dingtian replied.
“With your blessing, I hope that person will arrive before me as soon as possible so that I can avoid being so exhausted.” Ling Wu commented, “I had grown weary of the sailing life long ago and wish to stay at home to assist my husband and educate my children.”
“Young Lady, there are enemies.” All of a sudden, the lookout guard that stood beside the sail shouted out loudly.
Ling Wu’s complexion changed, “Who? How many of them?”
“It’s the Black Blood Pirate that’s under the Brigand Yang Dingtian. Three ships. Around a hundred of them.” The lookout narrated.
“Damn Cloud Heaven City and damn Yang Dingtian.” Ling Wu gnashed her teeth and spoke ruthlessly.
