The following days were much quieter for Qin Hui, just like in the usual routine. However, with the nourishment from the ghost tree roots over so many days, Qin Hui’s strength had continued to grow.
On the other hand, Wang Xiaoyan’s side was very deserted. Apart from Su Xue’er accompanying her, no one else dared to go near her. Those who had previously coveted her now kept their distance, as if afraid of being drained.
Fortunately, Wang Xiaoyan didn't seem to mind, living her life quite harmoniously.
At noon, Qin Hui sat in his wooden house, savoring green tea. Qin Hui had grown accustomed to life here. Once he finished all these ghost tree roots, his strength would be able to break through to the Half-Grandmaster realm, and above Half-Grandmaster was Grandmaster.
Just as Qin Hui was enjoying his tea, Li Dazhuang suddenly rushed over, “Brother Hui, it’s not good! That dog of a first mate has appeared, and not only that, he’s brought people with him.”
“Guess who that person is?”
“It’s Qian Chao!”
Li Dazhuang’s words startled Qin Hui. But then again, it made sense. His tribe had been established here for some time, and there were signs of personnel activity everywhere.
As long as others searched carefully, they would be able to find his tribe quite easily. It was just that Qin Hui hadn’t expected that dog of a first mate and Qian Chao would deliver themselves to his doorstep. Such a fortunate turn of events had awaited Qin Hui.
“Let’s go take a look!”
Qin Hui, with a smug smile, led Li Dazhuang towards the entrance.
Inside the tribe, Qian Chao and the dog of a first mate were sitting at the entrance with great enthusiasm. They had drifted on the deserted island for a period, and everyone had become much thinner, with many casualties. If it weren’t for the martial artists behind them, they wouldn’t have survived until now.
But now it was good. They had encountered such a fine tribe, at least for basic necessities.
“Oh ho, the main character is out.”
Qian Chao’s lips curved into a slight smile when he saw Qin Hui. Before this, he had already inquired about Qin Hui’s background.
Upon seeing Qian Chao, Qin Hui also wore a smile.
“Qian Chao, I never expected you to come to me yourself when I wasn’t going to find you.”
Qin Hui crossed his arms, his expression calm.
“Qin Hui, how dare you speak to Young Master Qian like that?”
“Don’t forget your status, you’re just a hired hand. Once we’re rescued, you’ll still be you, and our Young Master Qian will still be Young Master Qian.”
One had to say that this dog of a first mate was an absolute sycophant; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things.
“You scoundrel, don’t get too arrogant. I’ve wanted to beat you up for a long time. Today, you’re definitely not leaving.”
Li Dazhuang stepped forward, twisting his neck, his face filled with anger.
“Oh ho, you two have quite the guts.”
Qian Chao said with some surprise. However, he was very patient. Those who refused to submit to him had all died on this deserted island. Since so many had already died, it didn’t matter if a few more died.
It was just right to eliminate Qin Hui and Li Dazhuang, then they could smoothly take over this tribe. Even if they couldn’t get out in the future, being a chieftain in this tribe would be quite good.
“Qian Chao, what exactly do you want? You are not welcome here.”
Su Shijun walked out and said coldly.
The moment Su Shijun appeared, the dog of a first mate and Qian Chao’s gazes turned fiery. The beautiful women who had followed them these days had all been taken by them. Because women had no hope of survival on the deserted island, Qian Chao had managed to fulfill his desires.
However, those women were far inferior to Su Shijun. If they could take down Su Shijun, perhaps this trip wouldn’t have been in vain.
“Oh ho, I didn’t expect Mayor Su to be here as well. This is great.”
“Hmm? Su Xue’er, you’re here too? Where is Wang Xiaoyan?”
Qian Chao quickly spotted Su Xue’er’s slender figure among the crowd. He constantly harbored fantasies about this pure and tender young girl who was in her third year of high school.
Most importantly, Su Xue’er and Wang Xiaoyan were inseparable. Since Su Xue’er was here, Wang Xiaoyan must also be here.
Since the engagement venue couldn’t be reached, building his own kingdom here wouldn’t be a bad idea. He also liked the feeling of having three thousand beauties in his harem, wanting to summon them every night.
Thinking of this, Qian Chao’s lips curved into a lewd smile.
“Ahem, everyone, since you’ve come today, don’t even think about leaving. Just stay here obediently.”
Seeing Qian Chao still smiling so happily, Qin Hui realized he hadn’t grasped the reality of the situation.
Qian Chao didn’t take the Qin Hui in front of him seriously at all. In his eyes, Qin Hui was just a sailor. How could a hired hand threaten his position?
“A’tao, go on, teach him a lesson and let him know why the flowers are so red!”
Qian Chao waved his hand. He didn’t intend to make Qin Hui and the others submit through emotion; using force directly was the correct path.
The martial artist named A’tao charged towards Qin Hui without a word. As a thug, he knew best how to beat people up. The dog of a first mate next to him watched with great interest, as if Qin Hui would be beaten up in the next moment.
*Crack!*
Li Dazhuang directly blocked Qin Hui’s path, grabbing A’tao’s fist with one hand, and then twisting it downwards. The sound of bone fracturing echoed in everyone’s ears.
“Ah!”
A’tao never expected Li Dazhuang to also be a martial artist, and even stronger than himself!
*Bang!*
As soon as A’tao cried out, Li Dazhuang kicked him flying, sending him crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious.
Qian Chao’s eyes almost fell out when he saw this.
He hadn’t expected there to be martial artists here too?
But why would a martial artist work as a sailor?
“Go on, everyone, attack me together and cripple them!”
Qian Chao didn’t believe that one Li Dazhuang could defeat so many martial artists on his side. If strength was lacking, quantity would make up for it.
*Bang bang bang!*
Seeing these martial artists charging towards him, Li Dazhuang didn’t retreat but advanced, like a ferocious bear charging into a flock of sheep, slaughtering them indiscriminately.
Qin Hui, on the other hand, watched with great interest. The strength of these martial artists was mostly at the second or third level, not worth Qin Hui’s intervention. Li Dazhuang alone could easily handle them.
After a few minutes of chaotic fighting, all these martial artists lay on the ground, howling and wailing, in a miserable state.
Qian Chao and the dog of a first mate were stunned, their jaws practically on the ground. They had intended to come and reclaim their dominance, but unexpectedly, they couldn’t defeat the other party. This was becoming quite a problem.
“You, you!”
Qian Chao pointed at Qin Hui and the others, stammering with anger.
“It is impolite not to return a visit. Since you’ve all come knocking, hehe.”
“Apart from those women, Dazhuang, give them all a good beating!”
Qin Hui said without reservation. Since they had chosen to follow Qian Chao, they were essentially accomplices.
Seeing Li Dazhuang charging towards them, these people wouldn’t just stand there and take a beating. They immediately turned and fled.
