Chapter 1259: Chapter 1245: Competing for Attention and Jealousy Chapter 1259: Chapter 1245: Competing for Attention and Jealousy Ye Chen wondered what Su Zhanze would do if he really got the Sacred Spirit Stone. If he was truly as cruel as they said, the Sacred Spirit Stone in his hands would definitely be a threat to others. Therefore, the stone could not fall into their hands. Fortunately, he had received news from Nangong Yao that the stone was most likely still with the local boss, though it was undoubtedly still very dangerous.
“Yun’er is so fond of you that she wants nobody but you. She even ran away from her wedding. All you have to do is nod, and I bet she’d be willing to be your foot-washing maid,” Black Demonic Spirit said casually.
Ye Chen barely listened, his mind preoccupied with other things.
Black Demonic Spirit added, “You’re worried that if you really can’t be cured, that girl will be left all alone and in distress, hence you don’t want to delay her life, right? But what if you were to completely recover in the future?”
Ye Chen muttered, “What about it?”
“What if she’s married by then? What will you do?”
“What else can I do but go about my life?”
“You won’t make them divorce and then be with you?”
“What on earth are you thinking about!” Ye Chen said, a bit angrily.
“Don’t get worked up. I have a question I’ve been pondering for a while: did you really get drunk and sleep with Ouyang Yue?”
Ye Chen said in surprise, “You don’t believe it?”
“I don’t believe it. I seriously doubt the authenticity of that incident.”
“You think you could control yourself when you’re drunk?”
“That is true, but I don’t see much intimacy between you two.”
“It was an accident.” Ye Chen couldn’t possibly tell this big mouth about the incident; telling him would be like announcing it to everyone, and he didn’t want Guo Yuyun to find out, especially when it took so much effort to convince her. He absolutely didn’t want any accidents to happen.
“That is true.”
“Can’t you stop nagging and find soone else to chat with?”
“Who else can I look for? You wouldn’t agree to bring Ah Ya on board; if she was here, I wouldn’t bother you at all.”
Ye Chen scoffed, “Ah Ya wouldn’t give you the ti of day.”
“Why wouldn’t she fancy ? I’m outstanding.”
Red Demonic Spirit laughed coldly but did not speak.
“What do you an, I’m not outstanding enough? Indeed, we failed to capture the Moon Beast. But the failure was not on . I was responsible for driving the beast out, and I did just that. It was Jiu Hu and the others tasked with the capture,” Black Demonic Spirit explained.
“You, my friend, will never beco a decent man. Ah Ya is smart; how could she not see what you’re really like?”
“Can we not attack each other personally? What am I like?”
“You still have the nerve to ask? Everyone knows what you’ve been up to.”
“Spell it out for . What exactly have I done?”
“Frequenting the Yixiang Brothel to find Little Qian, and you still dare to ask.”
“That was Ye Chen who was looking for Little Qian, alright?”
“Are you denying that you’ve never been to see her?”
“My visits were to chat with her.”
“Really? Just afraid she was too lonely, so you went over for a chat?”
“You must have told Ah Ya about all that stuff,” Black Demonic Spirit glared at Red Demonic Spirit, suspecting him since Ah Ya had been ignoring him these past few days.
“Heh, I’m not like you, blabbermouth. I can keep a secret.” Red Demonic Spirit continued, “Stop thinking about Ah Ya.”
Seeing Red Demonic Spirit getting worried, Black Demonic Spirit said suspiciously, “Don’t tell you’ve taken a liking to Ah Ya too.”
“Heh, don’t jump to conclusions. If you really want to marry Ah Ya, you better start changing your ways. But I doubt you can change; Ouyang Yue wouldn’t marry Ah Ya to an irresponsible man like you.”
“I get it now. No wonder you’re getting so worked up. You’ve set your sights on Ah Ya and want to compete with . Is this how you treat your brother?”
“Brother, when it cos to matters like these, there’s no such thing as brotherhood,” Red Demonic Spirit remarked.
“Heh, you’ve let your true feelings slip. I was wondering why Ah Ya kept avoiding , always dodging . It must have been your bad-mouthing to her.”
“Who needs to speak bad of you? Those deeds you’ve done, who doesn’t know about them?”
“I bet it was you who blabbed,” Black Demonic Spirit grew anxious, “I never expected you to stab in the back.”
“Don’t slander . I don’t need to stab you in the back to beat you. I could leave you several streets behind with ease,” Red Demonic Spirit said confidently.
Ye Chen was stunned. These two were fighting and he couldn’t believe it. Excited, he stood up and said, “Ah Ya is mine; neither of you have any part in this.” If not now, then when?
Black Demonic Spirit stomped over and bellowed, “You also want to marry Ah Ya, aren’t two of you enough?”
“Who said I want to marry Ah Ya? I need a girl to wash my feet. I think Ah Ya is quite good, she’ll wash my feet for the rest of her life.”
Black Demonic Spirit shouted, “The girl we want to marry, you want to snatch her to be your foot-washing maid. What do you an by that? Our beloved is only fit to wash your feet?”
“Yeah, I even asked her, and she said she’s willing to do it. Plus, Ouyang Yue has agreed to it,” Ye Chen said, finding the situation quite amusing as he saw Black Demonic Spirit get so worked up.
Black Demonic Spirit ranted, “There are so many girls, can’t you find another girl to wash your feet? Do you have to choose Ah Ya?”
“I do have to, it’s Ah Ya’s hands that are gentle. If I take a liking, I can also pinch her face.”
“That’s a real scoundrel right there,” Black Demonic Spirit jumped up.
Ye Chen murmured, “Thinking of marrying Ah Ya, without even asking first.”
“How could this little bastard be so terrible,” Black Demonic Spirit said, not convinced.
Ye Chen walked downstairs.
Black Demonic Spirit glanced at Red Demonic Spirit and said, “This is a real scoundrel, letting the girl we fight over with blood and sweat serve as his foot-washing maid; how can he stoop so low?”
“I see you’re not much better. Any good girl following you won’t have good days ahead. You might as well open your own brothel,” Red Demonic Spirit stood up.
“Hey, that’s a good idea, really opening my own place, that would be nice.”
“Yeah, in the future, we can just call you ‘Turtle Fellow’.”
“You’re the ‘Turtle Fellow’.”
Red Demonic Spirit also left, leaving Black Demonic Spirit alone.
Longhun was waiting for news, and so was Old Du, but because they had destroyed Lion Head Island, their actions had suddenly beco inconvenient.
After all, they were not from the Thirty-Six Islands, and they were unfamiliar with the situation there. Plus, with the Immortal City Sect having destroyed Lion Head Island, everyone was worried, so people were especially vigilant about strangers coming to Taiping Island, especially those in groups.
Longhun was not afraid of the underlings of the Thirty-Six Islands, but Nangong Yao and Shao Hengjiang were on Taiping Island, and they did not want to expose themselves or stir up unnecessary trouble. If Nangong Yao and others learned that he was responsible for destroying Lion Head Island, it would an gaining another opponent, which would not be good. If they managed to get the Sacred Spirit Stone, it would likely only bring danger.
Moreover, the Sacred Spirit Stone was not in his hands yet. Fortunately, Old Du had brought a group of people over.
Ren Haotian rushed in urgently, saying, “Ma Zi is trying to escape.”
“Ma Zi?” Old Du questioned.
“It’s the third boss of the local snake gang. They’re hurrying with their preparations, they might leave tonight.”
“Are they in a hurry?” Longhun inquired.
“Yes, I saw them urgently preparing. I think they’re afraid sothing will happen and want to escape, which also proves that the Sacred Spirit Stone is very likely in the hands of either shorty Ma Zi or Yang Zuotai,” Ren Haotian replied.
“Haven’t seen Yang Zuotai?” Longhun asked.
“Not for the ti being,” Ren Haotian seed worried they would escape and said, “Leader, we must act quickly; we cannot let them get away.”
Longhun kept very quiet. Suddenly being in a rush to leave indeed surprised him, but it also confird that the Sacred Spirit Stone was most likely in their hands. However, he believed that Yang Zuotai and shorty Ma Zi might also be watched by Nangong Yao and others. Now was not the ti to panic.
“What’s wrong, Leader? Are you still worried about sothing?”
“Although I haven’t figured out whether Yang Zuotai has colluded with anyone, he’s definitely a formidable person. He wouldn’t act so hastily,” Longhun said.
“What do you an? Do you think there’s sothing else going on here?”
Longhun helped him recall, “The person who could plan to kill the local snake and fra Lion Head Island to trap us is not a simple-minded person.” After being tricked last ti, he greatly admired the planner, which naturally made him more cautious.
Ren Haotian looked over.
“How can a person with a clever mind act hastily? To be fooled once is to be careless, but to be fooled again would make a complete fool. Do I look like a complete fool to you?” Longhun said with a cold laugh.
“You suspect there might be other operations underway?”
“Why not? Such a clever guy, in leaving, must be afraid of being caught. If he’s worried about being discovered, rash actions would just attract people to him!”
“That makes sense.”
“Soone who could plan out the crossroads incident so ticulously certainly isn’t a fool who acts without thinking. It’s very likely part of the plan.”
Ren Haotian also felt there was so truth to it.
“We’ve been played once already because we were too eager and not careful. I don’t want to get played a second ti. This ti, it might even involve a great risk. You know, the people of the Thirty-Six Islands are looking everywhere for strangers on Taiping Island; we can’t move recklessly anymore.”
Ren Haotian felt like he’d had a bucket of cold water dumped on him.
Longhun added, “But tonight, there will definitely be a major event, likely a good show.” He regained his composure from the previous day.
