Chapter 1367 - 1366: An Accidental Encounter on Immortal Island
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting bid farewell to Elder He and the others, then stepped into the Illusion Gate. In an instant, they arrived in a wondrous world where the sky was exceptionally clear and everything was filled with mystery.
"Chen Tianlong, it’s so beautiful here, surrounded by the sea, and the water is crystal clear." Wu Mengting was obviously very happy, enjoying the surrounding scenery immensely.
"Yes, the person in charge here must be very capable, managing this place so well." Chen Tianlong also found it quite impressive.
After walking for a few miles, they suddenly heard the sound of commotion ahead. As they approached, they saw a woman with a long whip riding a horse, whipping a man.
"Miss, that’s enough. Please stop hitting him." A middle-aged woman on the ground pleaded bitterly.
"Hmph, this man who beats his own wife, and you still want to plead for him? Are you out of your mind?" With that, she whipped him again regardless.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman stood in front of the man, and the whip mercilessly struck her.
"Ah!"
The woman screamed in pain but still tightly protected her man.
"You better move aside; I need to teach this man a hard lesson." The woman shouted fiercely.
The whip was ready to strike again from the side, but the next moment, a big hand firmly caught it. The woman tried to pull twice but couldn’t move it.
"You brat! Are you tired of living, daring to provoke me?" Gu Yuxin was caught off guard by the sudden grip and felt utterly humiliated.
"Uh? Could you tell me which family’s miss you are? I’m a bit scared." Chen Tianlong replied playfully with a grin.
"Hmph, the Island Master is my dad. Is that impressive enough for you?"
Gu Yuxin immediately played the trump card of her backing, trying to scare this young man in front of her.
"Haha, that’s hilarious! The Island Master is your dad? The Island Master is my granddad, then!" Chen Tianlong didn’t believe it at all. How could a dignified Isle Master have such an unruly daughter? He wouldn’t believe it even if beaten to death.
"You....."
Gu Yuxin was so angry that she was speechless. Then a long whip lashed out at him, startling Chen Tianlong, who quickly dodged.
"Crazy woman, what do you want?" Chen Tianlong composed himself and scolded.
"Hmph, you brat, how dare you curse me? Die!" Gu Yuxin was furious, and lashed out with the whip again.
Chen Tianlong was prepared this time and grabbed the whip, pulling hard, causing Gu Yuxin to lose her balance. Tragedy ensued. She flew towards Chen Tianlong, and before he could react, she had knocked him to the ground.
"Gah?"
Chen Tianlong looked in disbelief at Gu Yuxin, who had knocked him over. Only at this close distance did he realize she was quite pretty.
Her large, clear, bright eyes, crescent-like brows, and a high nose bridge above her red willow-leaf lips.
In this position, Chen Tianlong could see the proud front of Gu Yuxin entirely, making her realize something was wrong. She looked down her collar and blushed with embarrassment, wanting to climb off in a mix of panic and shyness.
"You, you pervert." She shouted shyly.
But the next moment, she couldn’t speak. Her hand, which was supporting herself on Chen Tianlong’s shoulder, slipped as she panicked, causing her to fall forward. As she was speaking, with her mouth open, she accidentally kissed Chen Tianlong’s lips directly.
Chen Tianlong was startled for a moment. The next moment, he felt an intense reluctance to part. Gu Yuxin herself was panicked but lost in this moment, thinking: What kind of feeling is this? I’ve never experienced it before.
Soon, they both separated, and Gu Yuxin was overwhelmed with shyness. She pushed Chen Tianlong away with her hand and didn’t dare to look back, only muttering repeatedly, "Hooligan, you’re a big hooligan."
Chen Tianlong felt so wronged, a perfect case of being a victim at rest, but having taken advantage of someone else, he couldn’t say much. He quickly stood up, jumped around a bit, and said, "Hey, who are you calling a hooligan? You’re a big pervy girl."
"You, you’re a big pervert." Gu Yuxin was infuriated.
"Big pervy girl."
Chen Tianlong retorted with equal intensity.
On the side, Wu Mengting couldn’t take it anymore. What was going on here? The two were fighting just now but now engaged in flirtatious banter. Wu Mengting felt a little confused.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing, you two. You don’t have any deep-seated hatred. How can you start fighting like this just after meeting each other?" Wu Mengting, for some reason, burst out in anger.
Chen Tianlong was stunned, and Gu Yuxin was also taken aback, thinking: How could such a gentle-looking girl get angry like that? Haha, interesting.
So, she immediately stopped quarreling, turned around, and walked over to Wu Mengting, saying, "Hello, sister, what’s your name?"
"I... I’m Wu Mengting."
Wu Mengting was also puzzled as to why she suddenly got angry, could it be jealousy?
"Hehe, my name is Gu Yuxin, the daughter of the Isle Master," Gu Yuxin said casually.
"Ah! Are you really the daughter of the Isle Master?"
Wu Mengting asked, a bit unbelievably.
"As real as it gets, if you don’t believe it, you can come with me to see the Isle Master, then you’ll know."
Saying this, she deliberately glared at Chen Tianlong who was beside her.
Chen Tianlong, also a bit defiant at this moment, came forward and said indifferently, "What’s the big deal? Even if you’re the daughter of the Isle Master, you can’t be so arrogant and domineering."
"You brat, who are you calling arrogant and domineering?"
Gu Yuxin glared at Chen Tianlong angrily.
"Hey, you two, stop arguing. Don’t they say a fight is the start of a friendship? Miss Gu, please be the bigger person and forgive Chen Tianlong," Wu Mengting thought it wouldn’t be wise to cause trouble on Immortal Island, especially not with the Isle Master’s daughter, unless they wanted to find trouble for themselves.
"Alright, for Wu Mengting’s sake, I’ll magnanimously let this brat off for now," Gu Yuxin said smugly.
"Ahem, who’s a brat? I have a name, you know. Please call me the handsome Chen Tianlong," Chen Tianlong boasted shamelessly.
"Pfft...."
Gu Yuxin almost burst out upon hearing this. Handsome, indeed. Not calling him a smelly man is already a compliment.
"Miss Gu, you said you’re the daughter of the Isle Master. Can you take us to meet the Isle Master? We have something to ask for," Wu Mengting suddenly remembered their purpose for coming.
Chen Tianlong also started to get serious, and quickly walked over. However, as soon as Gu Yuxin saw him, she got a bit annoyed. Luckily, Wu Mengting was there, or else they might have started fighting again.
"Are you really the daughter of the Isle Master?" Chen Tianlong obviously still had his doubts.
"Hmph! Believe it or not, better not follow me," she said and pulled the horse forward.
Wu Mengting tugged at Chen Tianlong’s sleeve, and Chen Tianlong had no choice but to follow along. After walking for a while, Wu Mengting told Chen Tianlong to apologize to Gu Yuxin. If she really was the Isle Master’s daughter, wouldn’t dragging this out be asking for trouble?
So Chen Tianlong said, "To the smelly nag, I apologize for any offense Chen Tianlong has caused just now, please forgive me!"
As soon as he said this, Wu Mengting was speechless. Wasn’t he supposed to apologize sincerely? Why did it sound more like an insult?
"Who are you calling a smelly woman?"
Gu Yuxin had calmed down quite a bit, but upon hearing this, she was immediately enraged again.
"Uh, sorry, a slip of the tongue," Chen Tianlong said, covering his mouth and laughing secretly.
"Hmph, it was obviously on purpose. Just wait, I’ll get back at you when I have the time," Gu Yuxin planned to find a way to take him down a notch.
Thus, the three of them soon arrived at the Isle Master’s Manor, and Gu Yuxin happily shouted, "Dad, I’m back."
A woman came out to greet them. She walked up with a smile and said, "Miss, the master is out handling some matters and probably won’t be back until tonight."
"Uh, godmother, long time no see." It turned out Miss Gu was also just back from outside. She said this and then walked over to give the woman a big hug.
"Oh? Who are these two?"
The godmother, seeing that Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting were unfamiliar, asked curiously.
"Uh, godmother, these are friends I met on the road. They said they wanted to see Dad, so I brought them along," Gu Yuxin explained.
The godmother took a close look at Chen Tianlong and noticed he was carrying a sword on his back, so she became a bit cautious, unsure whether they meant well or harm. She just smiled lightly without saying anything.
Chen Tianlong obviously also sensed the tense atmosphere, so he quickly went over smiling and said, "Auntie, don’t worry, we’re here to visit the Isle Master to learn some skills."
"Learn skills?" the godmother finally spoke.
"Yes, we’ve heard that the Isle Master has unique swordsmanship and were guided by a master to come here and learn," Chen Tianlong explained to the godmother. First, to reduce her hostility, and second, hoping she could help introduce them.
"Oh, I see, then please, both of you, go to the guest room to rest. It’s still early. The master probably won’t be back until tonight," the godmother said, relaxing a bit.
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting were arranged guest rooms to rest, and while chatting, it soon became evening.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong was idly fiddling with the Dragon Slayer Sword when he suddenly heard the sound of Lightweight Skill flying. Instinctively, he thought a thief or something had entered, so he sneaked out.
