Book 2 Chapter 8 – Clan Leader of the Fairer sex[1]
While the two boys were running around in circle trying to unfurl the sail, the battle wason tranquil sea became dozens of small dots
A sea breeze blew The boat sailed toward the shore at high speed
Kou Zhong crouched on the sacks of salt that was lost but noon back He mumbled at himself, and was so happy that nearly went crazy
Xu Ziling was at the helm; he suddenly called out, “We’ll reach the shore very soon!”
Kou Zhong sprang up and saw the pitch-black land ahead was getting larger and larger at an alarhast, he called, “Can we slon?”
“We can’t!” Xu Ziling called back
That night happened to be high tide, plus the as strong, the boat sailed like an unbridled horse running away on an open field; it was totally out of control
Kou Zhong pointed to a spot that looked like a sandy shore, “Steer toward that place!” he called out
Xu Ziling turned the rudder, the sailboat changed course on a slightly oblique angle, speeding toward the sandbar
Kou Zhong was about to cheer, suddenly his countenance changed “Not good!” he cried
Xu Ziling was also shocked Turns out under the ht they could see that all around the from the seabed That they had not had shi+pwreck by noas indeed a miracle
‘Screech! Screech!’ The hull e noise The boat was pushed to the right, the two boys lost their balance and fell into the water
‘Crash!+’ The boat ran into an especially huge rock and disintegrated immediately All the salt went down to the bottoed to swim across the shalloater; the lower half of their body was still i tide
Their body weary, their strength exhausted, the two boys lay face down on the sand, while continuously gasping for breath Their mouth and nose were bloody from the collision with the reef, while their body was bruised all over It was not even clear when did their weapons fall off
However, the physical pain they suffered was far less than the e the salt
The effort they spent on stealing this batch of salt has becole, it had an inco for them, and it has thrown them into an endless rollercoaster of eone Just like that
When salt meets water, won’t it vanish without trace?
Xu Ziling spat out a roaned, “Those who have never been underwater will never know that the seawater is so bitter”
Kou Zhong wanted to laugh, but he choked and coughed hard, “Who told you to drink it? Ha! Fortunately I still have a couple of roaned “Don’t tellsmiled bitterly “That’s exactly what happened,” he said, “Don’t blahi Shao, is your turess in le grain of rice, but I ary’,” Kou Zhong sadly replied, “Ay! I a he buried his face into the sand
Xu Ziling also felt senses faded; finally he succuht there
The next thing he knew, so’s excited voice penetrated his ears, “Heavens! Get up! This ti opened his eyes; the sky was very bright He sat up with blank expression, but as he turned his eyes, he was du or so, exposing the spacious seabed, littered with jet-black reefs Those dozens of sack of salt, along with the debris of the boat and everything else left after the shi+pwreck, were strewn over the rocks; it was indeed a breath-taking,ran toward the nearest sack of salt Xu Ziling was overwhel up, and only then did he realize that most of the wounds and bruises on his body were co ey Hastily he ran after Kou Zhong
Kou Zhong was shouting and yelling in excite! All these salt have beco dissolves in water This ti saw soht; in great delight he threw himself in that direction As expected, he found the sword And then, not too long afterwards, he found Kou Zhong’s short halberd After losing everything and gaining it back, the happiness in their hearts was so still wanted to find the twountold hardshi+ps, he could only find one; no matter how hard he searched the other one si it, unexpectedly he found five silver ingots and sorateful to Laotianye
The two boys were afraid the tide would come back; busily theyhard until nightfall, they counted forty-eight sacks of salt; two sacks went rated the sacks burst
By this tier feel it Hastily they went to the forest by the shore to pick so to the shore, they saw the tide was rising again; the waves were crashi+ng onto the reefs, spraying seawater everywhere They felt like they had just been granted a new lease of life
The two boys stood facing the ocean They still had the feeling that the eneht come anytime, hence they went to the nearby forest to find a safe place to hide, and once they found it, theywith leaves Only then did they snuggle up to sleep
In their semi-conscious state, they felt like they were back at that little valley where they buried Fu Junchuo, training internal energy to withstand the cold night
Aboutfro their weapons, they crawled behind a large rock where they had a clear view of the beach and took a peep
They sao small boats anchored at the beach, more than a dozenthe debris of their boat that ashed to the shore
Farther away into the ocean, they saw eight medium sized two- battleshi+p
Kou Zhong whispered, “Loot at that girl, she is prettier than our Niang!”
Xu Ziling turned his attention to the woreen [ie teal] colored warrior outfit, covered by long white cape on the outside Her beauty was so a breath It was the first ti’s throat suddenly created a ‘glug’ noise; he ing his own saliva, “If I can spend the night with her, I a to havelet out a ‘ha’; he nearly guffawed, but quickly covered his ht that the woman was aapart, yet his laughter could not escape her ears; she i the two boys that they instantly shrunk back behind the huge rock
After quite a while, the beach becah of relief How could they still dare to have devious thought?
Kou Zhong said in low voice, “Even in ter, see Book 1 Chapter 4] could be superior to our Niang, but she is still outwitted by us, Two Dragons of Yangzhou”
Suddenly a sweet-sounding, alto voice cal, “Was she really outwitted by you?”
The two boys were so scared that their soul fleay and scattered; they rolled toward the sloping grassy knoll first before springing up, holding a halberd and grasping a sword, putting on a false bravado, but in their hearts they were seriously lacking confidence
The bloody Battle Ten Styles they learned fro had the opportunity to test it in armed combat with the enemy, but that one ti’s treasured saber
Therefore, the thing that these two boys lacked the most was real combat experience; so if they were not scared in the face of battle, that would be strange indeed
That stunningly beautiful woman sat leisurely on the rock, she even had a wind lantern sitting next to her, shi+ning its light on half of her so that it looked like her beautiful figure was glowing, adding some mysterious, yet pure and holy aura to her already out-of-this-world beauty
The white cape against the lake-water-green warrior outfit,to the eye
The woaze, and said emotionlessly, “I really don’t understand how could these two virtue-less, inco Life’ from under Yuwen Huaji’s nose, and then swindled Du Fuwei until his head and face were filthy with gri that their head spins Tell ood luck char this, the two boys looked at each other with eyes open wide but their tongue tied How could this woman know the put his halberd down and used it to prop hiround In deadly earnest he said, “May I ask Miss’ honored surnaiven na to self] two brothers’one’s family valuables]?”
The pretty woman let out a cold snort and said, “A]? How come now I become a Miss? Such an inconsistency, evidently you are a despicable ’s countenance fell, “You call that despicable?” he said, “Even if in your heart you are dying to kill the opponent, but on the surface don’t you still need to be polite? In this world who has never had his reement with his mouth? You, this … hey! You, this Miss, how much more noble do you think you are co saw Kou Zhong lost his temper like that; he was completely bloay
The pretty wo for half a day Suddenly ‘Pfft!’ she burst out laughing “You little demon, you have quite a stinky te you: as far as I’ vegetables; no hesitation whatsoever”
Xu Ziling finally ca her bluff, “You want toup thatstuck out his chest and said, “Those with enough guts don’t need to call others for help You alone against the two of us”
The pretty wohed so hard that her body tre at your appearance: clothes not covering your body, scars and bruises all over, yet you have devious thought of the two of you can beat h so hard that it hurt”
