Chapter 88 The Evil Intention That Lurked Beneath Her Friendliness (2/2)
He heard the strange singing voice again. That was when he realized that the giant black rock was actually the back of some form of giant living creature, who spouted those towering column of water.
The singing voice might be the breathing of this sea monster.
What was scarier was how the surrounding vital Qi would congregate toward it as it sung and the Qi was all his to inhale and exhale.
With a body as big as that, the amount of vital Qi that he swallowed was massive. Regardless of how low its attainment was, it could easily deal ten or a hundred more times damage than Shen Lian could.
The sea monster was similar to a whale, or maybe it was a whale that knew how to cultivate.
Shen Lian did not get back into the sea blindly. The mana within his body slightly wavered to the singing of the sea monster.
He decided to first seek refuge and to hold things off until the sea monster left. Thus, he walked into the island and found the scenery pleasing and could smell the scent of flowers.
There was only one kind of flowers and it came in five different colors; not more, and not any lesser. The trees inside were bigger than usual. As Shen Lian walked deeper into the island, the singing of the sea monster was filtered by the woods and he regained resonance with the Qi of heaven and earth.
The singing of the sea monster must be a more advanced form of communication with the heaven and earth Qi than the talisman Dao that he currently understood.
Given the chance, Shen Lian would love to look into the subject.
Despite knowing that the sea monster had a dubious origin, he realized that the island itself was not simple either.
The places that he walked past had no sign of human life, not even any sign of beasts could be seen.
The flowers were in bloom but they were not frequented by bees and butterflies. The entire forest was caught in an eerie silence.
The scenery far ahead caught Shen Lian's attention. It was a tree with a thick trunk - one that could be wrapped around by the embrace of ten over people.
A soft and gentle voice spoke, it sounded like the pleasing sound of a yellow warbler. The voice was laidback and Shen Lian took a liking to its owner before even setting eyes on her.
”Gentleman, are you here to look at the beautiful flowers as well?”
Shen Lian did not move. He cocked his head towards the source of the voice which was deep in the flower bushes. A beautiful woman clothed in colorful clothes walked over and her features were impeccable and flawless. However, this was not the first time that he saw a woman as such – Xin Shisiniang was the first.
Unlike Xin Shisiniang who gave off a proud and pure aura akin to the winter snow, the woman clothed in colorful clothes was enchanting and moving. Her curves were almost perfect and it was hard to look away from her. The juxtaposition of her black hair and her porcelain-like neck was alluring.
The woman eyed Shen Lian boldly. It seemed as though she took an interest in the pretty young man.
She was slightly taller than a normal woman but slightly shorter than Shen Lian. Her moving body gave off hints of pleasant scent, it was different from those of flowers but it did not smell like perfume either. The scent sneaked its way into Shen Lian nose.
His clear eyes wavered, and to be honest, he could feel a flame being lighted up in his heart – lust.
He did not clear away his lustful thoughts hurriedly. ”Where did you come from, young lady?” he smiled and said.
”I'm one of Mister Hai's concubines and he is paying a visit to his friend. Seeing how the flowers are in bloom, I decided to stay and did not go with him. I was getting bored when I heard you, which was why I decided to come and take a look at you. Please pardon my abruptness,” she spoke while looking at Shen Lian.
What she just said would be normal if it was coming from a man to a woman. However, the words were extremely seductive coming from her.
