Chapter 1 Two Days

Qi Delong and Sun Buzhou estimated that, barring unforeseen circumstances, the cruise ship would reach Icefire Island in two days.

These two days would be a good time for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves on the cruise ship, which had everything they could need.

Zheng Aoqiu and the others also boarded the cruise ship. They didn't know the danger of this trip and thought they were going on a pleasure trip.

That evening, after dinner, Zheng Aoqiu organized a party for everyone on the deck.

The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the sea was calm.

A gentle sea breeze blew as Chen Xiao leaned on the railing, gazing out at the ocean.

*Spring river tide connects with the sea,
On the sea, the bright moon rises with the tide!*

Faced with the boundless sea, a surge of heroism arose in Chen Xiao's chest!

He touched the Yin-Yang Jade on his chest, wondering if it was the dream, or the Yin-Yang Jade, that had completely changed his life.

Just then, Chen Xiao suddenly heard a sinister laugh behind him.

"If you don't want to die, get lost."

Chen Xiao said calmly, knowing who was coming without turning around.

It was Zheng Aoqiu and his group of little brothers, including Huang Wenlei.

"Damn it, Chen Xiao, you're about to die, and you're still pretending? Believe it or not, I'll throw you into the sea, and you won't even know how you died!"

Zheng Aoqiu said arrogantly.

He had finally caught Chen Xiao alone and immediately gathered a group of brothers to make trouble for him.

"Get out before I get angry!"

Chen Xiao was finally in the mood to enjoy the sea view, but he didn't want to be disturbed by these scumbags.

"Chen Xiao, I really don't know what you're so arrogant about. Considering that we know each other, kneel down in front of Young Master Zheng and kowtow a few times. I'll say a few good words for you, and Young Master Zheng might let you go."

Huang Wenlei said sarcastically.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head, his sword-like gaze shooting over, scaring Huang Wenlei back three steps.

Zheng Aoqiu looked at Huang Wenlei with disdain and cursed, "What a fucking waste, there are so many of us, what are you afraid of?"

Then he ignored Huang Wenlei and approached Chen Xiao.

"Boy, you don't cherish the opportunity I gave you. Now, kneeling down and kowtowing won't solve the problem. The person who dares to provoke me, Zheng Aoqiu, hasn't even been born yet!"

Zheng Aoqiu tidied his hair, which was ruffled by the sea breeze, and said confidently.

Chen Xiao smiled disdainfully, "Really? I didn't know you were so awesome. Why don't you look behind you?"

Zheng Aoqiu was slightly stunned. He looked back and saw He Xinyi standing there with a cold expression.

Zheng Aoqiu's face flushed immediately, and he said with a flattering smile, "Miss He, I was just joking with this brother, don't mind it..."

He Xinyi was too lazy to pay attention to this toad and coldly spat out a word.

"Get lost!"

Zheng Aoqiu was, after all, the number one playboy in Jiaonan, and he had so many brothers with him. If He Xinyi told him to get lost, and he actually did, how would he ever be able to show his face again?

"Miss He, you don't have to go that far, do you? No matter what, I'm a person with some status in Jiaonan, can't you give me some face?"

Zheng Aoqiu said sternly, but inwardly fearful.

The reason why he dared to say this was because he saw that He Xinyi was alone, and there were only two of them including Chen Xiao.

And he had so many brothers with him, if they really fought, they would definitely have the advantage.

Just then, a mercenary over two meters tall walked over. He had a palm-wide patch of chest hair and was holding a micro submachine gun.

"Miss He, is there any trouble here?"

The mercenary asked casually.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Aoqiu immediately cowered. He smiled obsequiously and said awkwardly, "Hehe, no trouble, no trouble, just a small misunderstanding, we're leaving, Miss He..."

Zheng Aoqiu was once again humiliated and left in a disheveled state with a group of纨绔 (wanku - playboy).

As soon as he was out of He Xinyi's sight, his face became extremely gloomy.

"Damn it, that bitch He Xinyi, why is she always protecting that kid Chen? What part of me is worse than him?"

Zheng Aoqiu said indignantly.

Huang Wenlei quickly said, "Young Master Zheng, calm down, Chen Xiao is just trash, how can he be compared with you! He's just relying on Miss He to protect him, a dog relying on its master's power. Once Miss He leaves, won't you be able to kill him in minutes?"

Zheng Aoqiu was furious, "I can't wait, who knows when this He will leave! Damn it, I'm so pissed off, I've never been so憋屈 (biequ - frustrated/repressed) in my life."

Huang Wenlei leaned over and whispered, "Young Master Zheng, once we land on the island, there will be plenty of opportunities. Isn't that island supposed to be very dangerous? We can secretly kill him then and say he was taken away by a monster!"

Zheng Aoqiu thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "Hmm, I didn't expect you to have some brains, damn it, then I'll just have to be patient for a little longer. Chen Xiao, you wait until I find an opportunity, I'll make sure you die without a burial!"

On the other side, after He Xinyi helped Chen Xiao solve the problem, she didn't rush to leave.

After she sent the mercenary away, she slowly walked to Chen Xiao's side and leaned on the railing like he did.

Two mounds of white, tender flesh immediately became visible.

She was wearing a long dress, with a small shawl over her shoulders.

The sea breeze blew gently, and the shawl fluttered in the wind, dancing slightly in the air along with her golden hair.

A captivating fragrance drilled straight into Chen Xiao's nostrils.

"Mr. Chen, are you enjoying the sea view at night? You really have a leisurely and carefree mood!"

He Xinyi smiled and casually moved closer to Chen Xiao, her lotus-root-like leg brushing against Chen Xiao's calf.

"Yes, Miss He."

Chen Xiao responded with a smile and moved his body to the side.

Noticing this detail, He Xinyi frowned slightly.

Her beauty trap had always been effective, but she had used it on Chen Xiao twice, and both times it had failed.

She pouted, as if giving up, and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you hate me?"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned. He didn't expect He Xinyi to be so direct, nor did he expect He Xinyi to ask him such a question.

"Hate is too strong a word, we're just not that familiar. Moreover, I'm just an unknown small figure, my hatred or liking doesn't seem to be important to Miss He, does it?"

He Xinyi curled her lips, looked aggrieved, and muttered, "Of course it's important."

"What did you say?"

Chen Xiao asked in a deep voice.

He Xinyi shook her head and regained a cold and arrogant expression, "It's nothing, Mr. Chen, I think the reason why you hate me is because of those scandalous news, right? Some people also say that I keep many young gigolos. You don't believe all of that, do you?"

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, noncommittally, and asked, "Then Miss He, what do you say, should I believe it, or should I not believe it?"
