Chapter 1383: Chapter 1369: The Chin Without a Beard Chapter 1383: Chapter 1369: The Chin Without a Beard “There’s so truth to that, but why capture that girl?” Ye Chen was still very curious.
Guo Yuyun said, “After you leave, you will definitely help the Immortal Demon Domain. To the Dragon Slaying Clan, that’s the last thing they want. They wanted the Pangu Beast to eat you yesterday simply because they want to eliminate you, fearing that once you leave, you will help the people of the Immortal Demon Domain fight against the Dragon Slaying Clan.”
“Makes so sense.”
“This should serve as a warning to us; who knows if those guys will make a move against us on the ship? Although the flounder is their leader, that Barbarian seems quite rational and won’t be easily chard by you like the flounder. He might try to steal your Wolf King’s Ring.”
“The flounder has fallen for my charms? How co I know nothing about it?”
“I’m talking about serious stuff here.”
“Carry on, I’m listening.”
“It’s quite possible they will disregard the flounder’s orders for the greater good and try to get their hands on the Wolf King’s Ring from you so that once you leave, you can’t use the ring to help the people of the Immortal Demon Domain against them.”
“Why do I feel like you’re reading their minds?”
“Do my words make sense?”
“Your analysis is spot on; indeed, there’s such a possibility.”
“It’s not just a possibility. Look, those guys are watching us. I’m sure they’re discussing this very issue. If we capture the flounder, they’ll fear harming their leader and wouldn’t dare lay hands on us,” Guo Yuyun continued. “Besides, you know that Barbarian; he has a thing for the flounder. If she’s in our hands, he definitely wouldn’t dare make a move, and we would be safe on the ship.”
“It seems you’re not that dumb; it’s worth so serious consideration.”
“Are you also thinking about capturing the flounder?”
“Yes, I’ve thought about it. Capturing her to be my wife doesn’t sound too bad.”
A vice-grip pinch ca over.
“Just kidding. One of you is enough to drive nuts.”
“You must think I’m brash enough already, don’t you!”
Ye Chen quickly said, “No, let’s get back to the matter at hand.”
Guo Yuyun continued, “From what I see, although that girl is their boss, the Barbarian is in charge of most things. He’s a formidable character. He hasn’t moved against us these past days because we’ve been useful to them. I heard he’s already suggested to ng Xiuluo to steal the ring from you.”
“You’ve heard about that too!” Ye Chen was surprised and asked with a smile, “Then why didn’t she listen to them?”
Guo Yuyun ca over and said, “Are you trying to get to say she’s taken a liking to you and that’s why she didn’t take their advice?”
Ye Chen hurriedly said, “How could that be? But now that you ntion it, that girl doesn’t seem so bad, at least she has so gratitude.”
“I think you’re completely smitten by her eyes and will end up dead at her hands eventually.”
“Ah, how could that be? If I’m to die, it can only be at your hands.” Ye Chen hastily added, “Let’s continue with your thoughts.”
“Clearly, the Barbarian is the one in charge here, including everything on the ship. Once we board, they can completely make their move against us.”
Ye Chen said, “Then ng Xiuluo will definitely help us; she won’t let them kill us. If she really wanted us dead, she’d have killed us by now.”
“You’re besotted, thinking soone’s a good person just because they saved you once, oblivious to the danger.”
“Alright, alright, I might be a little besotted.”
“That girl saved us because we had saved her once. Who knows when she might suddenly co to her senses, be persuaded by them, and kill us in an instant.”
“That’s possible.”
“Anyway, I feel it’ll be very dangerous on the ship. They don’t necessarily have to fight us; they could just slip sothing into our food, and we wouldn’t be able to avoid it.” These days, Guo Yuyun had been very cautious, always choosing at freshly cut from a large piece for grilling, because it was unlikely anyone would drug an entire piece of at, and she would wait for others to taste it first.
Ye Chen was puzzled, seeing that Guo Yuyun had beco much more cautious, and said, “If they wanted to do that, we would have almost no way of preventing it; we can’t monitor the kitchen every day to see if they’re lacing our food with sleeping drugs or sothing.”
“Right, the Barbarian might very well do this, and he has the authority. At any mont we could be knocked out without any clue, with the Wolf King’s Ring stolen from you, which would be the least of our problems. They might even throw us overboard to feed the sharks.”
Ye Chen asked, “So what should we do?”
“We capture that girl, of course.” Guo Yuyun continued, “As soon as we board the ship, we nab her and keep her in our room, then they wouldn’t dare to resort to violence.”
“But that wouldn’t prevent them from sending us poisoned or drugged food.”
“Are you stupid? With the girl with us, every ti, we could make her taste our food first. I can’t believe the Barbarian would dare to poison her. Even if they gave us food laced with sleeping drugs, she would be knocked out first, and we could avoid any trouble.”
“I didn’t expect you to beco so much smarter.”
“I think you’ve been spellbound by the flounder and have beco a simpleton.”
“Nonsense, how could I ever beco a simpleton.”
“If you need to spell out such obvious things, what else could it be but simplemindedness?”
Ye Chen gave a forced smile.
Guo Yuyun continued her analysis, “As long as we have the flounder in our hands, we are safe. We don’t know how many days we’ll have to spend on the ship to reach the shore safely, so this is our only option.”
“Makes sense,” Ye Chen gave a thumbs up.
“Although this girl might feel sowhat grateful to us, who can guarantee that the Barbarian won’t persuade her soday? Instead of being so passive, and risking to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, we might as well take the initiative. As long as we have the girl in our grip, we can avoid any unexpected events on the ship by preventing her from stirring up trouble.”
“Okay, let’s do as you say.”
He hadn’t expected the monkey to agree and said, “You don’t object?”
“I don’t object. Yesterday’s events were a reminder that those guys really could defy the flatfish’s wishes.”
“Looks like your head hasn’t been kicked too hard by a donkey.”
“Nonsense, how could my brain have been kicked by a donkey?”
Guo Yuyun, stroking his beardless chin, said, “Then after we board the ship tomorrow, we’ll find a way to capture the flatfish.”
“Sure, and we’ll capture Xiang Yi too. When bathing, I can have an extra person to serve .”
Guo Yuyun hit him hard on the head and said, “You are completely bewitched.”
Ye Chen cried out in pain.
“Hit again, and I really might beco an idiot in the future.”
“You already look like a complete idiot. I need to explain this plan so thoroughly to you. If you keep this up, you might actually beco ntally challenged.”
“Hey, it’s not that bad. It’s completely understandable to appear a bit lower in IQ in front of girls occasionally.”
“As long as we capture the girl after boarding, we can ensure that everything goes smoothly, and then let her go after we dock.”
“That works. Just capture her to warm the bed.”
She hit him hard again.
“I ant for you to warm the bed, not . It really does get a bit cold at sea.”
“Such wild thoughts,” she scoffed.
Ye Chen, still wanting to offer so praise, said, “That’s really a great idea.”
“Of course.” She had spent all of last night thinking up this foolproof plan.
“I also want a chance to have a good talk with the flatfish.”
“What did you say?” Guo Yuyun’s eyes were about to pop out.
Ye Chen hurriedly explained, “I just think this girl isn’t too bad at heart, and there’s still hope for her. Maybe if I can enlighten her, she might even beco a good person.”
Guo Yuyun snorted through her nostrils and exclaid, “She doesn’t need you to enlighten her.”
“Don’t worry, in my heart there’s only you, not her.”
“Believing you would be foolish.”
“Hurry up and eat more. We have our last trip tomorrow, and we can’t have any accidents.”
Guo Yuyun was quite satisfied. She had thought the monkey would oppose, but he had agreed so quickly.
“Once we dock, we make a run for it. It’s too dangerous to stick with them.”
“Staying with that girl doesn’t seem that dangerous to .”
“You’re just dying to be with her, aren’t you?”
“No.”
She had already longed to stay far away from that girl.
The others had spent nearly two whole hours moving the ship to the mouth of the sea, and by the ti they finished, it was already dark. They then moved their things aboard the ship, and by that ti, it was almost midnight.
Ye Chen called out, “Let’s go up and check out the room we’ve been assigned.”
Guo Yuyun nodded slightly.
“She better not have deceived us, sticking us in a corner with no view and no one living there.” ng Xiuluo had promised to give them a good room.
Finally climbing up, they found their room, and initially wanted to be surprised. But they were quickly taken aback; there were just two beds, aside from a dining table for eating and drinking, not even a stool, and the room was half the size of the one they initially had.
Just as they were about to go and argue with ng Xiuluo, they hadn’t walked far when they ran into ng Xiuluo coming their way.
“Girl, you said you’d give the biggest room.”
“Indeed, it is the biggest one.”
“Are you playing with ? Compared to the last one you gave , this is like a witch seeing a wizard.”
“You knew it’s a smaller boat than the last one. You should be content that a boat could even be built within roughly a month. Just getting you a room and helping you leave this godforsaken place should make you grateful.” ng Xiuluo ranted.
