Chapter 178 - Wanna Bet?
Fire Cloud Island, He family.
In a giant magnificent hall, there was a display ofed an array of fruits and delicacies. Aromatic fine wine , was carried bottle by bottle.
The atmosphere in the hall was enthusiastic. He Luo’s face was full of smiles, as he kept toasting towards Mo Duanhun.
The other warrior force leaders on Fire Cloud Island, also looked excited. Every time they toasted to Mo Duanhun, they stood up on their own, in the most respectful way.
Mo Duanhun sat at the highest seat in the hall. His face was indifferent, and didn’t move at all. Even when people toasted to him, he only slightly nodded, and drained his cup.
Shi Yan sat next to Mo Duanhun, there was a faint smile on his face, as he quietly observed everyone in the hall.
These prominent people in Fire Cloud Island, when facing Mo Duanhun, were all very courteous and smiled in flattery.
If Mo Duanhun slightly nodded at them, they would seem extremely flattered, to Shi Yan that looked very funny.
Mo Duanhun was from the Yang family, and he was the leader of the three Shura Kings. In the Kyara Sea, he was the most distinguished figure. The fact that he could come to the He family, to sit and drink with these people, was giving a lot of regard to the He family. Even the people who came to discuss important business with the He family, were also following along to get the honor.
These people may be considered with a very high status on Fire Cloud Island, but compared with Mo Duanhun, there was an insurmountable distance.
They weren’t even qualified to enter Immortal Island.
In the past, they only heard of the famous name of Mo Duanhun, and had never met him. Today they finally caught the opportunity, naturally they wouldn’t let it go. They used all sorts of flattery to try to get a closer relationship with Mo Duanhun, hoping that they would leave a good impression in Mo Duanhun’s mind.
Even though the fire Cloud Island was under the influence of the Evil Wonderland, but it was what the Yang family say that counts in the Kyara Sea. They have to travel through the Kyara Sea all the time, if some day they were careless and annoyed the Yang family, then if Mo Duanhun could say some good words for them, it could even save their entire force.
Therefore, when they were treating Mo Duanhun, it could be said that they were the most dedicated ever, just in hope that they could leave some good impression.
Of course, because of a small detail from Mo Duanhun before, although they weren’t clear of Shi Yan’s true identity, they were still very careful. When trying to please Mo Duanhun, they didn’t forget Shi Yan, and frequently toasted to him.
Shi Yan didn’t reject any of them. Whenever someone toasted to him, he would drain his cup, without a trace of arrogance.
Because the temperature on Fire Cloud Island was very high, the tropical fruits produced here also had their specialties, they were sweet and delicious.
Naturally Shi Yan didn’t hold back, he tasted each of these fruits, and seemed quite comfortable.
Midway during the feast, He Luo let out a command, and many beautiful girls dressed in exposing clothing, wearing light veils, and holding instruments, came slowly.
These women’s bright eyes were seductive, they exposed their fair-skinned arms and flexible waists, dancing in the empty space of the hall. They occasionally winked at Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan, with a flattering look that seemed like they were offering themselves.
Mo Duanhun didn’t show any reaction to this, his expression was stiff, like he doesn’t seem to care about this.
Shi Yan’s expression was also indifferent, he didn’t overly expose his true nature. He drank his wine, while smilingly looking at the beautiful, slim, and graceful girls at the same time.
The seven girls were all young and beautiful. Their bodies were curvy, and when they danced, their breasts bounced, looking very seductive.
The most rare thing was that these girls seemed to know their mission. They also knew that the ones sitting in front of them were all distinguished figures.
They would dance their bodies in front of Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan, vaguely displaying the most wonderful parts of their bodies, looking as if these men were allowed to do whatever they want.
He Luo’s face was full of smiles while he secretly observed. Whenever Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan displayed any interest, he would later make arrangements to make these girls go find Shi Yan and Mo Duanhun at night, to offer up the even better wonders of these women’s bodies for Shi Yan and Mo Duanhun to slowly taste.
Mo Duanhun never liked women, this point, most warriors of the Kyara Sea knew clearly.
He Luo secretly observed for a while, and also realized the Mo Duanhun really seemed to have no interest in beautiful women. He had a general idea of things in his mind, so he threw away the thought of presenting these Mo Duanhun.
Instead, he put more attention on Shi Yan.
Although Shi Yan didn’t reveal his true nature, but when seeing these beautiful things, he didn’t fake or hide anything. His eyes showed a look of admiration, and he openly looked at the bodies of all these beautiful women.
He Luo’s heart felt happy, he slowly got a good idea, and once the feast ends he was planning to let these seven girls go to Shi Yan’s room together, and let him select any of them.
Soon, these seven girls quietly left, but before they went away, these seven girls secretly threw winks at Shi Yan, with their amorous eyes.
“Hehe, these seven girls, are the seven gold flowers of our Fire Cloud Island. They are still virgins, and have very high standards. Normally when honored guests come, they would dance to one song and leave quickly. But today I see that these seven girls are quite fond of little brother, they kept looking towards him. Little brother sure has outstanding charms.” After those seven girls left, He Luo laughed, and said casually.
There was a smile on Shi Yan’s lips, he slightly shook his head.
Of course he knew what He Luo meant, he also knew these seven girls were definitely the most precious treasures of He Luo. The reason why He Luo would keep these girls as virgins, was to use them at crucial moments. Normally he would be unwilling to take them out, because he didn’t find any truly distinguished figures to please.
When He Luo said it this way, it was obvious that he was going to pay a very high price. If Shi Yan nodded, He Luo would probably make arrangements immediately, later these girls might directly appear in his room.
Shi Yan was clear of the situation.
If it were in the past, with his personality, he would probably not pretend to be a good guy all, and would happily enjoy pleasure. But now Xia Xinyan was still unconscious, and it was due to her trying to save him. This gave Shi Yan a giant pressure in his heart, he didn’t have the heart to mess around with girls, and thus shook his head to refuse He Luo’s good intentions.
He Luo was slightly surprised, he thought that with Shi Yan’s age, he shouldn’t have much resistance in front of beauty.
These seven girls were carefully selected by him, each had the most attractive appearances, plus they had sexy bodies, and were all virgins. He Luo had a lot of confidence in these girls, even when he was facing these seven girls, it was often hard for him to control himself.
He secretly observed Shi Yan for a while. From Shi Yan’s expression and the look in his eyes, he thought Shi Yan definitely wouldn’t refuse this appealing proposal. So when Shi Yan shook his head, He Luo was very surprised.
“Father, to achieve his goal, this guy would sacrifice any incredible beauty, mindless seven little golden flowers.” Then at this moment, He Qingman’s sweet voice suddenly came from behind the hall.
Just when her voice came, He Qingman slowly walked here, and her beauty shocked all.
He Qingman wore a purple thin dress, the hem of the dress was embroidered with beautiful flowers. Her long hair laid on her shoulders like silk, and her long thin amorous eyes were filled with sparkling charm. After taking off her veil, her cheeks were pink and cute, her beautiful lips were luring. Her skin was fair as snow, with a strange glow like that of jade. Her curvy beautiful figure, was enchantingly attractive.
Inside the hall, the eyes of many warriors brightened, their expressions were all a little intoxicated.
For a while, the hall that was originally loud with chatter, actually strangely became quiet.
Even Mo Duanhun raised his head and glanced at He Qingman, and was surprised by her impressive beauty.
Shi Yan glimpsed at He Qingman, his eyes also abruptly brightened. Although he didn’t like this woman, bit he was still mesmerised by her beauty.
He Qingman actually had the same level of extreme beauty as Xia Xinyan.
Xia Xinyan was noble and graceful, while He Qingman was enchanting and charming. Although their styles were different, they were both born incredibly beautiful. Whether it be their faces or their bodies, all were perfect.
“Old He, your little girl really grew to be more and more pretty. I wonder which family’s boy would get the pleasure in the future.” A red-faced man called Wu Mu, couldn’t help but compliment, “Qingman is really a bright pearl of our Kyara Sea. Aii, too bad my boy’s potential is not that great, and didn’t get chosen by the Evil Wonderland, he probably won’t have a chance in his whole life.”
“Wu Mu, with your family’s boy, he dares craving for something he’s not worthy of? Hehe, this girl Qingman, would definitely become an important figure in the Evil Wonderland. In the Kyara Sea, even if boys from the Xia or Yang families tried to woo her, the Evil Wonderland probably won’t allow it. Let’s not think of it.”
“Right, Qingman is the most precious treasure in the Evil Wonderland, only young strong warriors from the Evil Wonderland like Xie Kui, would have the possibility of being approved by the Evil Wonderland, and have the right to pursue Qingman. Old He, you really have amazing luck, you got a good daughter!”
The many people in the hall, all smilingly praised, and admired that He Luo had great luck. He had a daughter, that was not only incredibly beautiful, but also had the double martial spirits of Wind and Water. She was treated as a genius with potential, and help the He family into becoming the master of Fire Cloud Island. Their future power would definitely increase as He Qingman gets stronger.
He Luo laughed, he was also quite joyful, as he said: “You guys work harder, maybe you would be able to give birth to a good talent in the future, haha.”
He Luo purposely dodged He Qingman’s accusation towards Shi Yan. He didn’t know who Shi Yan was, but he knew that Mo Duanhun valued Shi Yan very much. Just by that, he wouldn’t dare to insult Shi Yan.
Shi Yan frowned, he pretended as if he didn’t hear He Qingman’s words. He only dismissively glanced at the charmingly beautiful He Qingman, and stayed indifferent.
“We can discuss business now.” Mo Duanhun sat up straight, and said lightly.
In his eyes, He Luo and these people weren’t any important figures, they weren’t even from the Evil Wonderland. In the moment, he was only dealing with them, and didn’t say much on the feast.
Because of He Qingman’s outstanding talent, plus she was a strong warrior with potential in the Evil Wonderland, her future was boundless. Therefore Mo Duanhun took a slight bit of attention with that, and only brought up the business about this journey when He Qingman appeared.
“Alright alright.” He Luo smilingly stood up, he glanced at the many warriors in the hall, and smiled: “It’s quite late now, little brothers, shouldn’t you go back and rest now?”
These people were quite understanding, they all stood up when they heard him. With smiles on their faces, they said their goodbyes with Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan.
They actually wanted to stay and listen, but unfortunately Mo Duanhun didn’t open his mouth to say anything, so they didn’t dare to hang on and stay. In a mere moment, these people all left without a trace.
Soon, the leftover delicacies and wine in the hall were cleaned up by the He family’s maids. Then the unimportant personnel all disappeared too.
All that was left was the father and daughter He Luo and He Qingman, sitting firmly in front of Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan.
“Why did you come to Fire Cloud Island, why do you want to find a ten thousand year-old volcano?” He Qingman’s eyes were bright, her sweet voice spoke while staring at Shi Yan.
“I want to save Xinyan.” Shi Yan frowned, and said with a deep voice.
“A ten thousand year-old volcano can save sister Xinyan?” He Qingman’s face was filled with disbelief, she shook her head, and said in disdain: “I have never heard of that, what has awakening the soul got to do with volcanoes?”
“There are a lot of things you haven’t heard of.” Shi Yan was indifferent, he said lightly: “If I said I can save her, then I can! You wanna bet?”
“Bet? What are we betting on?” He Qingman’s interest suddenly surged, as her bright eyes sparkled.
