After more than two hours of sailing, the cargo ship docked at the pier of Inferno Island.
Inferno Island was a barren island with an area of more than ten square kilometers. It couldn't grow any food and could only rely on sea trade.
There were two to three thousand people living on the island. However, most of them were ordinary people. There were also many elderly and children. Therefore, it could only be considered as a very small force.
It was no wonder that they were pressured by the Black Blood Island to the point that they couldn't breathe.
At a glance, the entire island was indeed not prosperous and wealthy. Most of the houses were also old.
When the knight and the cargo ship were still more than ten kilometers away from the pier, many people on the island were already waiting anxiously.
When the cargo ship approached, the people on the island immediately cheered.
It was very obvious that they had been looking forward to Ling Wu's ship for a very long time. Furthermore, when they saw that the ship had returned safely, the stone in their hearts could finally be put down.
However, when the ship docked at the pier, they discovered that dozens of people were missing. The pier immediately burst into cries again.
When the ship had just docked at the pier, Ling Wu jumped down impatiently and ran towards an old man on the pier.
That old man was already unable to move. He could only sit on a chair and be carried by four young men. He should be Ling Wu's father. All the meridians in his body had been broken by that bastard, Qin Huaiju.
"Father …" Ling Wu immediately knelt on the ground and threw herself into the embrace of that old man.
"It's good that you've returned safely. It's good that you've returned."
That old man immediately burst into tears and said, "It's all father's fault for being useless. I've made a girl like you travel thousands of kilometers on a ship and take risks on the sea."
"As long as father can recover, I'm willing to do anything." Ling Wu cried.
Following that, that old man discovered traces of a battle on the ship and the corpses that were carried down from the ship. His complexion immediately changed as he said, "Wu 'er, did you encounter that group of bastards on the sea?"
Ling Wu nodded and said, "We met them today."
That old man said while trembling, "Then, then how did you escape?"
"It's a big brother called Yan Nantian. He killed that group of bastards and saved everyone on the ship. He also saved my life." Ling Wu said.
At this moment, Yang Dingtian had also disembarked from the ship. Ling Wu hurriedly came over and pulled his hand as she walked to the front of the elder, "Father, this is Hero Yan Nantian who had saved this daughter's life."
Immediately, the old man tried his best to stand up from the chair and salute Yang Dingtian, but he couldn't do it and almost fell to the ground.
"Daughter, help your father up. I want to thank Hero Yan for saving my life," said the old man.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly said, "Uncle, you don't have to be so courteous. Everyone has the right to punish those evil thieves. This is what I should do."
However, that old man still bowed to Yang Dingtian with Ling Wu's support.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly returned an even more respectful bow.
*****
That night, Yang Dingtian became the most honored guest on the island.
Although the resources on the island were very tight, they still held a sumptuous banquet for Yang Dingtian. Everyone came to propose a toast to Yang Dingtian. Everyone looked at Yang Dingtian with gratitude. Some women even brought their children to kowtow to Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian drank more and more. In the end, he was drunk to the point that his eyes were blurred and his footsteps staggered.
It had been over a hundred days since he had eaten a proper meal or drunk a single drop of wine.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the banquet dispersed. Island Master Ling Zhong accompanied Yang Dingtian to drink tea.
"Alright, all of you can leave now. I have something to say to Hero Yan."
After that, all the servants and maids left and closed the door. After that, only Ling Zhong, Yang Dingtian and Ling Wu were left in the room.
Immediately, the atmosphere in the room became slightly strange.
Yang Dingtian felt a strange feeling. He could only lower his head and drink his tea quietly.
Ling Wu obviously felt this strange aura as well. Her face turned red. She lowered her head and didn't say anything as she poured tea for Yang Dingtian and her father.
Ling Zhong suddenly raised his head and stared at Yang Dingtian for a long time.
Immediately, Yang Dingtian felt unnatural from his stare.
"Mister Yan, what do you think of my daughter's appearance?" Ling Zhong suddenly asked.
When these words were spoken, Ling Wu's face and ears immediately turned red. She was charming and alluring. However, her bold gaze still looked at Yang Dingtian as if she was waiting for his answer.
Yang Dingtian's heart skipped a beat. He said, "One in a million."
"Then, what do you think of my daughter's temperament?" Ling Zhong asked again.
"Generous, brave, dignified and virtuous." Yang Dingtian said.
"Then, does Hero Yan like my daughter?" Ling Zhong asked.
"With Miss Ling's character, who wouldn't like her?" Yang Dingtian said.
When these words were spoken, Ling Wu's beautiful eyes immediately lit up. Her face also appeared even more charming.
"Then, how about this old man betroth my daughter to Mister Yan? Although my Inferno Island has declined, it still has a few thousand people. In any case, it's still a foundation.
If you marry my daughter, all of this will belong to you.
Moreover, no matter if it's this island or your children in the future, their surname will be Yan and not Ling. How about it? "Ling Zhong said. After that, he looked at Yang Dingtian with a burning gaze.
*****
At this moment, even though Ling Wu was extremely shy, she was also waiting for Yang Dingtian's reply with her big beautiful eyes. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation and nervousness.
She was truly a cute and bold girl.
"I'm really overwhelmed by your favor." Yang Dingtian said.
Before he could finish his words, Ling Wu's beautiful eyes immediately revealed boundless joy and a trace of tenderness.
Ling Zhong also said impatiently, "Then, Mister Yan has agreed."
Yang Dingtian said, "It's a pity that I already have a wife. Moreover, she has deep feelings for me. I can't let her down. Otherwise, I would've taken the initiative to pursue Miss Ling long ago."
When Yang Dingtian said these words, Ling Wu's beautiful face suddenly turned deathly pale. After that, tears almost gushed out from her eyes.
Ling Zhong's body trembled. After looking at Yang Dingtian for a long time, he sighed and said, "So be it. It's my daughter who doesn't have good fortune."
After that, the room fell into an awkward silence.
A few minutes later, Ling Zhong smiled and said, "It's already late. Mister Yan should be tired by now. We've already prepared a good guest room. You should have a good rest.
Tomorrow, I'll let my daughter take you on a tour around my Inferno Island. "
"Thank you very much, Uncle." Yang Dingtian said.
After that, he left this place as if he was escaping.
*****
This should be the best room on the island. In fact, everything was new. Inferno Island had indeed treated Yang Dingtian as the most distinguished guest.
Not long after Yang Dingtian entered the room, a maid prepared a tub full of hot water for him to take a bath.
After taking off his clothes, Yang Dingtian comfortably lay down in the hot water, enjoying a rare moment of shyness.
Just when Yang Dingtian was lying in the bathtub so comfortably that he was about to fall asleep, a series of light footsteps came from behind him. It should be the maid who was specially in charge of serving him.
"It's already late. You don't have to serve me anymore. Quickly go to sleep." Yang Dingtian said with his eyes closed.
However, a chuckle came from behind him.
Yang Dingtian was shocked. He hurriedly opened his eyes and discovered that it was actually Ling Wu.
Her slender and hot body appeared incomparably moving under the light. Her beautiful little face was also flushed red, appearing tender and alluring.
"Miss Ling, you …" Yang Dingtian was so shocked that he stood up abruptly.
Ling Wu suddenly clenched her teeth and pounced over. Her arms tightly wrapped around Yang Dingtian.
"Yan Nantian, I like you. I want to marry you."
Ling Wu's little mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol. The words she spoke were hot, and so was the breath she exhaled.
Yang Dingtian tried to pry her arms away slightly. However, her arms were extremely strong. Yang Dingtian was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to forcefully pry her arms away.
"Miss Ling, I've already said that I have a wife." Yang Dingtian said.
"I don't believe you. That's just an excuse." Ling Wu said.
"Who wouldn't be moved by a beauty like you?"
Yang Dingtian sighed and said, "However, I really have a wife. I owe her a lot. She's suffering because of me. I can't let her down."
Perhaps she had heard Yang Dingtian's deep feelings, Ling Wu's beautiful eyes looked at Yang Dingtian for a long time. Finally, she confirmed that what Yang Dingtian said was true.
Immediately, the blurriness in her beautiful eyes gradually faded away. After that, she smiled sadly and said, "Then Ling Wu really doesn't have this blessing."
Yang Dingtian said gently, "You're so beautiful and cute. You'll definitely be able to find your ideal husband."
"It's too late, Big Brother Yan."
Ling Wu said with a sad expression, "That evil thief on Black Blood Island has already given my family an ultimatum. If I don't deliver myself to him within three days, he'll bring his men and kill everyone on Inferno Island."
Following that, Ling Wu's beautiful eyes became hot as she said, "I don't care if you have a wife. I like you.
Three days later, I'll let that evil thief obtain a corpse. "
"Miss Ling, listen carefully."
Yang Dingtian held her face and said, "That evil thief won't be able to live past three days. Two days later, I'll gather my men and kill everyone on Black Blood Island. We'll kill everyone on that group of bastards."
Ling Wu was stunned for a moment. After that, she shook her head and said, "No, they have the advantage in numbers. Moreover, that evil thief's martial arts are very high. You're not his match."
"They have the advantage in numbers, but so do we. You'll see our helpers coming in an endless stream very soon." Yang Dingtian said, "Moreover, we'll only know if I'm that evil thief's match after we fight.
In short, I'll definitely not leave until I kill that bastard. "
Ling Wu looked at Yang Dingtian for a long time and said, "So what if you kill that evil thief?
My father will leave this world very soon. The man I like doesn't like me. What's the point of me living? "
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, "Miss Ling Wu, maybe, maybe, I can save your father. However, I can only try. I can't guarantee that I'll succeed."
