Nine Yang Sword Saint Chapter 190

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

After sailing for more than two hours, the cargo ship came to a stop at the pier of Inferno Island.

The Inferno Island was a barren isle that spanned over a dozen square kilometers. They could only rely on shipping trade as the island couldn't support agriculture. Around two to three thousand people were residing on the island. However, the majority of them were ordinary people. Furthermore, there were lots of elderly and children. Therefore, they could only be counted as a weak faction. It was no wonder they got suppressed by the Black Blood Island to the point that they couldn't take a breather. After taking a glance at the entire island, it was certain that they couldn't be considered as flourishing or wealthy. Most of the housing here looked outmoded.

There were a lot of people on the island anxiously waiting when the cavalry and the cargo ship were dozens of miles away from the pier.

The people on the island immediately cheered when the cargo ship approached. It was apparent that they had been expecting Ling Wu's ship for a very long time. Furthermore, when they saw that the big ship had returned safely, the ache in their hearts finally stopped.

But when the big ship reached the shore, the pier was immediately filled with bitter crying when they discovered that dozens of people were missing.

When the ship reached the shore, Ling Wu leaped down impatiently as she ran towards an older man at the pier.

That old man could no longer move around by himself and could only sit on a chair while being carried by four youths. He ought to be Ling Wu's father, whose meridians had been crippled by that bastard Qin Huaiju.

“Father…” Ling Wu knelt down immediately as she threw herself into the old man's bosom.

“It's great that you have returned safely…” Immediately, that old man was filled with tears as he continued, “It's all because your father is useless. I had caused a girl like you to sail for thousands of miles and have to face dangers on the ocean.”

“So long as the father can recover, I'm willing to do anything.” Ling Wu wept.

Subsequently, the old man discovered the traces left behind from the battle on the ship as well as the corpses that were being carried down from the ship. His complexion instantly changed, “Ling Wu, you guys encountered those damned people on the sea?”

Ling Wu nodded, “I ran into them today.”

That old man trembled and replied, “Then, how did you manage to escape?”

“It's a big brother called Yan Nantian who had managed to kill that group of bastards, saving everyone on board of the ship as well as your daughter's life.” Ling Wu replied.

At this moment, Yang Dingtian was also alighting from the ship. Ling Wu hurried over and pulled him towards the old man, “Father, this is the hero who saved your daughter's life, Yan Nantian.”

Immediately, that old man used all of his strength and wanted to stand up from the chair to thank Yang Dingtian. However, he was unable to do so no matter what he did and had almost fallen onto the ground.

“Daughter, help your father up. I want to thank Hero Yan for saving your life.” The old man commented.

Yang Dingtian replied hurriedly, “Uncle, there's no need to be so polite. All of those evil scumbags had to be punished. It's something I ought to do.”

However, that old man still gave Yang Dingtian a deep bow with the support from Ling Wu.

Yang Dingtian quickly returned an even more respectful bow.

On that night, Yang Dingtian became the most distinguished guest on the island.

Although the resources on the island were extremely scarce, they still organized a sumptuous banquet for Yang Dingtian. Everyone came to propose a toast with Yang Dingtian as they used an extremely gratifying gaze and looked at Yang Dingtian. There were even some women who pulled their child over and kowtowed to Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian kept drinking more and more. Ultimately, he was intoxicated to the point that his vision had turned blurry and staggered as he walked.

It had been more than a hundred days since he had a decent meal and wine.

After he had eaten and drunk to his heart's content, the island lord, Ling Zhong, accompanied Yang Dingtian for tea after the banquet had ended.

“Alright, all of you may be dismissed. I have something to speak with Hero Yan.”

Afterward, all of the servants and maids dismissed themselves and shut the room door as they left. After this, only Ling Zhong, Yang Dingtian, and Ling Wu remained inside the room.

The atmosphere inside the room had immediately turned somewhat odd.

Yang Dingtian felt something peculiar and had lowered his head as he sipped his tea silently. Meanwhile, Ling Wu had also felt this peculiar atmosphere as her cheeks turned red. She lowered her head and kept her silence as she replenished the tea for Yang Dingtian and her father.

Ling Zhong suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time.

Yang Dingtian had instantly felt extremely strange after being stared at for such a long time.

“Hero Yan, what do you think of my daughter's appearance?” Ling Zhong inquired suddenly.

Ling Wu's face and ears immediately turned red, and her beautiful face glistened when the words were spoken. However, she still looked at Yang Dingtian with courageous eyes, as if she was waiting for him to reply.

Yang Dingtian's heart jumped before replying, “Extremely unique.”

“Then what do you think of my daughter's temperament?” Ling Zhong inquired once again.

“Magnanimous and courageous. Compose and virtuous.” Yang Dingtian replied.

“Then, Hero Yan must have some feelings for my daughter, right?” Ling Zhong continued.

“With such personality, how could there be anyone who wouldn't like Young Lady Ling Wu?” Yang Dingtian replied.

Once these words were said, Ling Wu's beautiful eyes brightened up, and her whole face became even more beautiful.

“Then how about I betroth my daughter to Hero Yan? Although my Inferno Island has already declined, there are still thousands of citizens here. In any case, it is still a piece of the foundation. All of these will belong to you once you marry my daughter. Furthermore, be it this island or your future children, their surname will be Yan and not Ling. How about that?” Ling Zhong inquired. After that, he looked at Yang Dingtian with a burning gaze.

At this moment, Ling Wu was extremely shy. However, she still widened her beautiful eyes and waited for Yang Dingtian's reply. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiousness.

This was truly a cute and fearless lady.

“Yan Nantian is really overwhelmed by the favor.” Yang Dingtian replied.

Ling Wu's beautiful eyes immediately revealed unbounded happiness and a trace of tenderness before he had finished his sentence.

Ling Zhong replied impatiently, “Does that mean Hero Yan has agreed to it?”

Yang Dingtian continued, “Unfortunately, I have a wife already. Furthermore, she is extremely faithful to me. I cannot disappoint her, no matter what. Otherwise, I would have taken the initiative to woo Young Lady Ling Wu long ago, even before Uncle had spoken his mind.”

Ling Wu's beautiful face suddenly became deathly pale when she heard Yang Dingtian's words. Subsequently, tears surged out.

Ling Zhong's body shuddered as he gazed at Yang Dingtian for a long time before sighing, “Forget it. It's my daughter who does not have luck.”

Afterward, the room sunk into an awkward silence.

A few minutes later, Ling Zhong smiled, “It's late, Hero Yan must be tired. We have prepared a top-notch guest room for you. Have a good rest. Tomorrow, I will get my daughter to bring Hero Yan around to have a tour around my Inferno Island.”

“Many thanks, Uncle.” Yang Dingtian thanked.

Immediately after, he left as if he was trying to escape.

This ought to be the best room on the island, and everything here was new. Inferno Island had indeed treated Yang Dingtian as their most distinguished guest.

A female servant prepared a bucket of hot water for him to take a bath not long after Yang Dingtian went inside the room.

Yang Dingtian undressed before lying inside the hot water comfortably as he enjoyed the rare comforts.

Just when Yang Dingtian was about to fall asleep from the comfort because of the bathe, light footsteps resonated out behind him. It should be from the female servant who was specially prepared to serve him.

“It's late. You don't need to serve me anymore. Quickly go to sleep.” Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and spoke.

However, a burst of soft laughter could be heard from behind him.

Yang Dingtian was surprised. He quickly opened up his eyes and realized that it was actually Ling Wu.

The slim and alluring delicate body appeared to be extremely enchanting under the lights. Her beautiful small face flushed, causing her to appear beautiful and lovely.

“Young Lady Ling Wu, you…” Yang Dingtian immediately stood up because of the shock.

Ling Wu clenched her teeth before throwing herself over. She wrapped herself around Yang Dingtian tightly.

“Yan Nantian, I love you. I want to marry you.”

Ling Wu's mouth was puffing the smell of liquor. The words she spoke were burning hot, and so was the breath she breathed out.

Yang Dingtian used his strength slightly and wanted to pull her arms away. However, her arms were filled with strength, and Yang Dingtian was afraid to injure her. Thus, he didn't dare to pull her away forcefully.

“Young Lady Ling Wu, as I said before. I already have a wife.” Yang Dingtian said.

“I don't believe it. That's just an excuse.” Ling Wu replied.

“Who wouldn't be enticed when facing such a beautiful lady?” Yang Dingtian sighed, “However, I really have a wife. I owe her way too much, and she is suffering because of me. I must never disappoint her.”

Perhaps, it was because she could feel the deep emotions from Yang Dingtian, Ling Wu stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time. Ultimately, she confirmed that what Yang Dingtian had just said was true.

Immediately, the intoxication within her beautiful eyes gradually dissipated. After which, she smiled mournfully, “It seems like Ling Wu truly does not have a good fortune.”

Yang Dingtian replied gently, “You are so beautiful and cute. You will definitely be able to find an ideal husband.”

“It's too late. Big Brother Yan.” Ling Wu spoke bleakly, “That evil bastard from the Black Blood Island had already given a final diplomatic note to my clan. In three days' time, if I'm not to appear before him, he would bring his men and kill everyone from Inferno Island.”

Subsequently, Ling Wu's beautiful eyes turned fervent, “I don't care if you have a wife. I love you. Three days later, I will let that evil thief receive a corpse.”

“Young Lady Ling Wu. Listen well.” Yang Dingtian held her face up, “That evil bastard wouldn't be able to survive for another three days. Two days later, I will gather troops and slaughter our way to the Black Blood Island and massacre that group of bastards.”

Ling Wu blanked out. Subsequently, she shook her head, “No. They have too many people. Furthermore, that evil bastard's martial arts is extremely strong. You aren't a match for him.”

“They might have a lot of people, but so do we. Very soon, you will see our reinforcements arriving unendingly.” Yang Dingtian continued, “Furthermore, whether I'm a match for that evil bastard or not, we will know after we fight. In any case, I will not leave until I kill that bastard.”

Ling Wu stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time before speaking, “So what if you killed that evil bastard? My father is about to depart from this world very soon, and the man I love doesn't like me. What's the point of me living?”

Yang Dingtian inhaled deeply, “Young Lady Ling Wu, perhaps, I might be able to save your father. But I can only give it a try and cannot guarantee success.”
