Chapter 1217: Chapter 1212: Do Not Disturb the Master Drinking and Enjoying the Moon

When leaving the guest inn, the moonlight gradually deepened.

The sky held a bright moon. The tides gently moved along the coast.

Qin Hao looked at the distant crescent moon and said, "It’s a good day."

Vini Jones had a hint of meaning at the corner of her mouth, "A good day for killing?"

Qin Hao smiled noncommittally, pointing to the horizon, "Many people have set off."

Vini Jones squinted, her vision blurred, but she could vaguely see that there were small boats floating near the distant coastline.

"Why can’t they use bigger boats? These small boats won’t withstand the waves. If there’s a battle outside the island, many people might drown."

Vini Jones had a touch of worry on her face.

Qin Hao squinted and smiled, "Can’t you swim?"

"How could it be possible."

Vini Jones’s face turned slightly red.

It’s not that she couldn’t swim, but her swimming skills weren’t very good.

Qin Hao didn’t dwell on this topic, explaining, "Celestial Dragon Island has a special magnetic field; modern iron ships can’t get close. Only wooden boats can. And before the island opens, we can only linger nearby. It’s a bit late now; the nearby reefs are likely occupied. We can only watch from the boats."

According to the commander’s statement.

The outskirts of Celestial Dragon Island have many prohibitions.

Without using the Celestial Dragon Order to open the island, no one can approach it.

At most wander a hundred meters away.

So, how to establish footing outside the island is a big problem.

Having wooden boats can certainly establish footing.

But the better choice undoubtedly would be nearby reefs and some tiny islands.

"These people set off early; is it just to occupy a position?" Vini Jones realized, "Master, if you know this, why not set off? Don’t you want a good position?"

Qin Hao smiled confidently, "Don’t worry, even if I’m the last one there, I’ll still have the best position."

"How is that possible?" Vini Jones was full of disbelief.

Today, people fight for resources, each is an enemy.

How could they give you a position.

Even if you are the Night Emperor, right?

"Don’t believe it? How about we make a bet?" Qin Hao grinned, "If you win, I give you your freedom back."

"If you win, Master?" Vini Jones’s eyes lit up, slightly surprised.

Freedom.

Such a rare thing.

Now, an opportunity presents itself?

What is this Night Emperor up to?

Is he really that confident?

"My request is simple, you stop me and give me a kiss." Qin Hao smiled broadly.

"You..."

Vini Jones was a little shy.

After all, she’s a European Witch, kissing the Night Emperor in front of everyone would mean confirming she’s his.

But, for freedom, she decided to gamble, "Let me see why you are so confident, Master."

"Good."

Qin Hao nodded with a smile.

Outside the guest inn was a small dock.

The dock had various boats tied. There were wooden boats and iron boats.

Qin Hao untied a rope from a wooden boat, lightly tapped his foot, and reached the shore.

Vini Jones also jumped onto the boat, and just as she was about to start, a rugged voice came from behind, "Move aside, move aside!"

Among the words, a giant man two meters tall jumped over, landing on a nearby wooden bed.

Splash!

The giant man’s figure was massive, causing a splash of water droplets on the lake.

Water droplets fell like rain, and the area seemed like it was in a downpour.

The boat beneath his feet kept shaking, but as the giant’s lower body settled, the boat stabilized immediately.

Water droplets splashed on him, drenching him entirely.

But the giant didn’t care, turning with an apologetic smile, "Created quite a scene, sorry..."

He paused midway through his sentence.

On the boat in front of him, the man and woman stood calmly, completely dry without any sign of getting wet.

This...

How did they remain dry?

The giant was very puzzled, and said, "I am Xinmu, who might you be, and why aren’t you wet?"

"Qin Hao. This is Vini Jones." Qin Hao replied indifferently, "Why we’re not wet, I don’t know. I’m just standing here."

"Haha."

Xinmu initially was pleased. He had heard of Qin Hao’s name before.

But later felt displeased.

Don’t know anything?

Do you really think I’m a fool?

You must have used some martial arts to avoid the rain.

Xinmu was a competitive person and knew Qin Hao was a potential opponent entering Celestial Dragon Island, so he thought it was a good chance to test him, and said, "I’m confused by what you said. Can I stir up some wind and rain and see how you avoid the water?"

Xinmu thought Qin Hao would agree, but he just calmly replied, "No."

Then, under observation, Qin Hao started to paddle. The wooden boat slowly set in motion.

"Hey! Qin Hao! Wait!"

Xinmu was somewhat annoyed, this Qin Hao could really not give face, right? We’re all part of Jianghu; why be so aloof?

Angry, Xinmu also grabbed the paddle, forcefully rowing.

Xinmu’s strength was immense; under his control, the boat rapidly caught up, soon staying side by side with Qin Hao.

Xinmu paddled while laughing, "Qin Hao, I’ve heard your martial skills are extraordinary, but your rowing skills seem not so great!"

Qin Hao didn’t speak, continued rowing single-handedly, with the other hand in his pocket, gazing into the distance, more like a Noble Young Master on a tour than a laborer.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Qin Hao not responding, Xinmu became more irritated and said, "Qin Hao, aren’t you known for having a sharp tongue! Why so quiet today? Did you know you can’t match me and chose to play dead? Heh, seems you have some self-awareness."

After a taunting remark, Xinmu felt somewhat proud.

I scolded a big name today, satisfying!

However, the next moment.

Qin Hao on the other boat suddenly sat down, actually handed the paddle to the nearby Vini Jones.

"You..."

Xinmu was stunned.

Is this Qin Hao even a man?

Actually letting a delicate girl row the boat?

Yet, Qin Hao still wore a face of enjoyment. He whipped out a folding fan from somewhere and gently fanned himself; with the other hand grabbed half a chicken leg, chewing on it, gazing at the moon with emotion, "How many years haven’t I drunk and eaten meat at sea. The greatest joy in life, is nothing more than this!"

"Phew!"

Xinmu almost fell into the sea out of anger.

I’m here rowing desperately.

You’re singing songs, eating meat, enjoying the view?

Isn’t this too unfair!

"I’m not rowing anymore! I want to eat chicken leg too!"

Xinmu angrily tossed the paddle aside, taking a large step, intending to board Qin Hao’s boat.

A hand came forward to meet him.

Xinmu opposed with a strike, his body lost control, and was knocked back to his original boat.

After stabilizing, he said angrily, "Big horse, why are you blocking me!"

Vini Jones coldly replied, "Row your boat, don’t disturb the master drinking wine and enjoying the moon."

With these words, Xinmu felt a deep pang of jealousy in his heart.

Damn, is this beauty actually Qin Hao’s servant?

I’m about to die of envy!
