Chapter 311 - Perfect Pair
Even though they knew that the dwarves were strong, Chen Feng did not give up. Rather than being buried alive, he would rather fight back. The only sliver of hope for them was to fight back. They also had a small chance of killing some of the dwarves in the process.
Chen Feng’s breathing was heavy and he steeled himself. He shouted with all his heart when he saw the dwarves closing in, “Villagers of Goldfish Island! The dwarves are no different from beasts! Rather than surrendering, we will fight back! Our deaths are guaranteed today! Despite that, our spirit and honor will never die!”
“Yeah!” Sensing that his father was boosting everyone’s morale, Chen Lei shouted too. “The dwarves are a group of rabid dogs! They are strong, but we can fight back! We will die, but we will take them down with us! We will fight now! Show them our strength! Show them that we will not lose our honor even if we die!”
Chen Feng and Chen Lei’s words inspired the villagers to stand up. They had already prepared themselves for a bitter fight. They pushed the women, elderly, and children towards the back while the men prepared themselves at the front. All of the warriors circulated their Qi while they prepared their weapons.
After just a few moments, hundreds of cultivators stood at the frontline to protect Goldfish Island. They glared at the dwarves as they prepared themselves to fight to the death.
“We will not let you sully our wives and children!”
“Yes! This is the land that our ancestors left for us! If we let a group of animals take it, we will be ashamed when we meet them in the afterlife! Goldfish Island belongs to us, not this bunch of dogs!”
“Don’t compare them to dogs as an insult! The dwarves are below animals!”
“Come! Let’s see who’s stronger today! I will die today, but I will take some of them with me!”
“Kill them!”
Hundreds of cultivators grouped up and charged towards the dwarves with Chen Lei and Chen Feng at the lead. Their spirit managed to make some of the cultivators at the Heavenly River Realm stop in their tracks.
There were four Fifth River Stage dwarves and one Sixth River Stage dwarf representing the Harmony family. The strongest dwarf was seated in the middle; he was the one who had given the order just now. He looked roughly thirty years old, skinny, and had an obscene face. He was looking at the women of the island with a smile on his face. Everyone around him could hear him swallowing his saliva.
The cultivators of Goldfish Island had suddenly blocked his view and started spouting bullshit. Song Zhongzhen was angered, so he shouted, “Idiots! Do it now! If you waste my time, I will kill you! I need to sleep with ten virgins today! As for the rest, I will give them to those who have killed the most!”
His words motivated the dwarves, and they all shouted with glee. Like beasts, they ran towards the cultivators of Goldfish Island.
Under Chen Feng’s leadership, the cultivators did not fear death. Their strength was lacking, but the amount of Qi exploding from their dantians was higher than usual as they prepared for their last fight.
No fear of death.
Those four words aptly described them.
The groups were about to clash when an explosion rang out. Someone flew between the two groups, causing both groups to take a few steps back out of surprise. The person was so fast that neither group could see who it was; they only knew that it was someone strong.
“Stop! Everyone, get back!”
The man glared at the dwarves, his eyes fierce with authority. The dwarves took a step back unconsciously.
The place became silent.
An old man and an extremely beautiful lady followed suit and stood beside him. There was also a small, black wolf following the lady. The people from Goldfish Island recognized Ling Xi and Xiaolang. Long Chen and Ling Xi had previously saved them, and they had never expected to be saved by them again! All of them cried tears of joy.
“It’s Sister Ling Xi! That must be Brother Long Chen!” Xiao Yu was happy to see them again. She ran forward but realized that the man who had frightened the dwarves was not Long Chen, but another man.
“Why is Brother Long Chen not standing beside Sister Ling Xi? Unless ...” Xiao Yu scratched her head out of confusion. No one else knew why. All of them looked at the man in the middle, some thanking him while the others were wondering where Long Chen was.
They never would’ve guessed what had happened while looking at Ling Xi’s sour face.
Long Chen and Ling Xi had a good relationship. There was no way she would betray him, so why was she with another man? What was going on?
Ninth Prince Lin Cangtian turned around and smiled. The villagers felt relaxed when they saw him. The Ninth Prince was stronger than Long Chen, so it was natural that Ling Xi would follow him ...
The Ninth Prince’s smile calmed the villagers. He then turned around and glared at Song Zhongzhen.
“Which bastard is trying to stop us? Take him ... AH! It’s the Ninth Prince!” Song Zhongzhen finally saw the Ninth Prince’s face, and the shock caused him to fall off his chair. He was covered in dirt, but he didn’t dare daly. He quickly approached the Ninth Prince along with all of the dwarves and bowed down immediately. “I am blind to not have recognized the Ninth Prince! I am Song Zhongzhen of the Harmony family, and also the cousin of the Patriarch. I hope you remember me, my Lord.”
Even though he was at the same cultivation level as the Ninth Prince, their statuses were very far apart. Song Zhongzhen had accidentally insulted the Ninth Prince out of carelessness, and his heart was beating rapidly. He looked at the Ninth Prince and hoped that he would spare him!
“Song Zhongzhen, what did you say just now?” The Ninth Prince glared at him, and the dwarf lowered his head even more. “I will remember what you said to me today. Normally, I would’ve crippled you, but I will forgive you since I’m in a good mood today. Take your men and leave now! Goldfish Island is now under my protection. The dwarves must never take a single step here for as long as I live!”
“Yikes!” Song Zhongzhen was surprised. Thankfully, the Ninth Prince wasn’t going to kill him today. He didn’t know why the Ninth Prince wanted to keep Goldfish Island, but he realized what the reason was after he saw Ling Xi. He was deceptively smart and knew that now was not the time and that the best thing to do was to scram.
He nodded and bowed numerous times. “Yes, yes, my Lord! I will leave with my men right now! We will never return! Everyone, return now! Scram!”
Under Song Zhongzhen’s hurried orders, all of the dwarves ran away. None of them dared to say anything in front of the Ninth Prince as they escaped. Once they left Goldfish Island and the lake, the other dwarves finally mustered the courage to ask Song Zhongzhen, “Boss, why does the Ninth Prince want to protect Goldfish Island?”
“Don’t you know that the three idiots who came to take Goldfish Island were killed by an Immortal Guard serving the Ninth Prince? I’ve seen the report saying that the Immortal Guard was accompanied by a beautiful girl and a wolf. The girl would never allow us to take over Goldfish Island. More importantly, there has been a rumor circulating in the capital that the Ninth Prince has been taking that woman to numerous places for sightseeing. The Ninth Prince is obviously in love with that woman! Or do you think the Ninth Prince is in love with you?” Song Zhongzhen was visibly shaken.
“But ... The people at Goldfish Island dared to touch us, the great dwarves! Should we just swallow our anger like that?”
“I don’t know, but let’s go back and report it. The Ninth Prince is obviously trying to show off to court that lady. We don’t want to get on his bad side, do we? Let’s get out of here for now.”
***
Once the dwarves were gone, the Ninth Prince finally stopped frowning and turned towards the people of Goldfish Island. It was the first time the villagers had seen someone as strong and approachable as him.
Chen Feng had heard the dwarf referring to the man as “Ninth Prince.”
He was undeniably the youth with the highest status in the Cangyang Kingdom. It wasn’t surprising that Ling Xi was by his side, but where was Long Chen?
Chen Feng somewhat understood Ling Xi and knew that she would never betray him, so why was she with the Ninth Prince instead?
When the Ninth Prince saw that Ling Xi was approaching the villagers, he followed suit. He stood beside her, and the villagers felt like they were the perfect couple.
