Chapter 121: The Lonely Bachelor and Maiden

  A solitary island.

  The island's land is humid and very small, only about the size of a football field. There are no living things, just a few solitary small trees.

  In the vast and endless sea, this isolated island is like a grain of sand in the ocean, small beyond measure. Yet, despite its tiny size, the island brings immense joy to Shi Yan.

  After carrying Xia Xinyan to this deserted island, Shi Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. The joy of surviving a disaster can only be deeply understood by those who have experienced it personally.

  Xia Xinyan was put down, Shi Yan sprawled out on the sandy beach at the edge of the island, not even wanting to move a finger.

  Too tired.

  These days he hasn't rested for a moment, constantly overdrafting his physical strength, and almost all of his vital energy has been consumed.

  Even Iron Man can't withstand such intense labor, and it's amazing that Shi Yan has been able to hold on this far, a testament to his unyielding willpower and the vitality within him struggling to persevere; otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.

  Xia Xinyan was put aside by him, her jade body lying sideways on the beach, also exhausted.

  Two or three meters apart, Shi Yan turned his head and glanced at her, revealing a smile, and said with a sneer: "It seems that even if you want to die cleanly, it's probably not possible."

  Xia Xinyan's face changed, and a cold light flashed in her bright eyes. "You dare!"

  At this time, she had not yet recovered her strength, the breath in her body was disordered, and it would be difficult to mobilize her vital energy for a short period of time. If Shi Yan were to harbor any evil intentions at this moment, she truly would be unable to resist.

  As soon as she thought of Shi Yan's nature, her heart was slightly panicked, but her face remained calm and noble, with a threatening meaning in her eyes.

  "Hahaha!" Shi Yan burst out laughing towards the sky.

  Xia Xinyan's heart was knotted, and she didn't know what thoughts were hidden in Shiyan's mind. She forced herself to move her limbs a little, and with some difficulty, she shifted slightly to the side, creating some distance between herself and Shiyan.

  Shi Yan originally had no intention of teasing her, but seeing her so guarded, a mischievous thought arose in his heart.

  On the beach, Shi Yan suddenly rolled up, and in an instant, he was close to Xia Xinyan.

  In an instant, he and Xia Xinyan were less than half a meter apart, his scorching eyes fixed on Xia Xinyan's clear and bright eyes.

  "Run! Can you run away from here? Xinyan, if we were to fight now, who do you think would win? Ah, I remember what you said, if I win, I can... ah?"

  "Shameless!" Xia Xinyan shouted coldly, her face stern. "Don't come any closer! Otherwise, once I recover, I will not let you off!"

  "If I really wanted to do something to you, I wouldn't have waited until now." Shi Yan sneered, "Last time at the Smoke and Rain Building, if I had been serious, could you have escaped?"

  "That...that time, why didn't you...move me?" Xia Xinyan also paused for a moment, asking curiously.

  In the Smoke and Rain Building, Shi Yan spent a night with two courtesan girls but didn't touch them. From her understanding of Shi Yan during this period, he was clearly an evil spirit in the guise of a lecher, and even had some abnormal tendencies. He actually dared to climb onto someone else's bride right in front of Ling Shaofeng.

  Such a crazy devil, every time Xia Xinyan thought of it, she felt a chill in her heart.

  At that time in the Smoke and Rain Building, Shi Yan clearly saw her stunning beauty, but didn't make any moves on her. This remained an unsolved mystery for her.

  "Why should I move you?" Shi Yan's expression was unusually serious, and he said lightly: "I'm a man, with normal physiological needs. I spend money to find prostitutes, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. As for Mo Caiyu, she and I have a past, if it wasn't for my good luck, I would have died at her hands long ago. Such a heartless woman, once she falls into my hands, of course I'll let her taste the pain of despair. Moreover, Ling Shaofeng also poisoned my father who didn't practice martial arts, this pair of worthless people, they deserve it!"

  He paused, casting a slanted glance at Xia Xinyan, "As for you, except for that time in the desolate swamp when you tried to force me to join the Xia family, which made me extremely displeased, there's no deep-seated grudge between us. I may not be a good person, but I also consider my targets carefully; either it's consensual or they have a deep vendetta against me - otherwise, I won't make a move."

  Xia Xinyan fell silent.

  After a long while, Xia Xinyan finally said: "I hope it's really as you said."

  Shi Yan smiled and nodded, "I'm not a gentleman, but I'm not a beast controlled by my lower body either. By the way, how are you doing now? You used to recover quickly, why is it so slow this time?"

  "The Bu Tian Dan is finished." Xia Xinyan let out a soft sigh, "Without the Bu Tian Dan, it will take me at least three months to fully recover. This time, I was also injured, and my recovery speed will probably be even slower. Now, I need three days to restore the chaotic Jing Yuan in my body. During this period, I won't be able to use any of my powers, just like an ordinary person."

  "Uh-huh, just focus on stabilizing your essence for these three days, I'll take care of your meals." Shi Yan nodded and looked up at the sky, saying: "I'll rest first, when I wake up, I'll prepare some food."

  He took a deep breath, suppressing the fatigue in his body, sat up on the sandy beach, closed his eyes and began to circulate his vital energy.

  Xia Xinyan lay sideways on the beach, her curves slender and delicate, her legs straight and beautiful, her eyes filled with confusion and puzzlement as she stared blankly at the rocky reef.

  At this moment, Shi Yan, who was concentrating on his bitter practice, had a calm face and a firm expression, with an unyielding aura of a man like a mountain that would not be shaken. He was completely different from usual.

  What kind of person is he after all?

  Half a moment later, Xia Xinyan lightly shook her head and stopped looking at him, still maintaining the same posture, also focusing on restoring the essence to its normal trajectory.

  After an unknown period of time, Shi Yan slowly woke up, and the piercing sunlight made him feel dizzy.

  The sun shines brightly.

  Shi Yan stood up from the ground, feeling refreshed and invigorated all over, his heart was filled with joy.

  The lost vital energy has been restored to about 70-80% after this period of adjustment and breathing, and the physical fatigue has also disappeared without a trace.

  He turned his head and glanced at Xia Xinyan, finding that she was still lying on her side, with the clothes on her body already dry, and the hem of her pants fluttering in the sea breeze.

  Xia Xinyan lay on her side, her curves enticing, her long legs stretched out, the hem of her pants blown up by the sea breeze, a patch of snowy white at her ankle sparkling with a jade-like luster in the sunlight, captivating the heart.

  Greedy staring at Xia Xinyan for a few eyes, Shi Yan took a deep breath and dove into the sea.

  A moment later, Shi Yan caught two long-armed octopuses from the sea and walked straight to Xia Xinyan's side, clearing his throat.

  Xia Xinyan's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. She seemed to have regained some strength, silently sat up, glanced at Shi Yan lightly, and asked: "What are you doing?"

  "Is there a flint?"

  "Yes."

  Xia Xinyan touched a slender finger on which was a cyan ring, and a strange light flashed by. Her palm suddenly had flint.

  She casually tossed the flint towards the rocky outcropping, then stood up slowly, her face slightly flushed. She quickly walked towards a small tree not far away and said softly, "I'm going to change my clothes, you're not allowed to peek!"

  "Oh." Shi Yan nodded and replied with a sentence, but a flash of surprise flickered in his eyes.

  That small tree, only as thick as a person's thigh, Xia Xinyan arrived at that side, her slender body tilted, letting her body and the trunk of the tree be parallel, quietly taking off the clothes on her body.

  The little tree was not thick enough, and although she leaned against it sideways, her beautifully curved body could not be completely hidden by the trunk.

  "Psst! Psst!"

  Xia Xinyan slipped off her shirt, one hand covering her chest, but her buttocks quietly exposed a patch of snowy white... That piece of rump was plump and firm, full and smooth, shining with an enchanting ceramic luster, as if it were a masterpiece from heaven, captivating the heart.

  Shi Yan's eyes widened in a daze, and he immediately had a physiological reaction, his lower body rising high.

  That white flash was only a fleeting glimpse, and soon it was completely covered by Xia Xinyan's green dress.

  Xia Xinyan let out a subtle sigh of relief, dressed neatly, like a piece of emerald green leaf, slowly emerged from behind the tree.

  She cast a glance at Shi Yan and her face turned cold, staring at a certain part of him, she said angrily: "Shameless!"

  The stone rock stood upright like a spear on the beach, with a bulging small tent propped up below its abdomen. Just one glance and you can tell it's definitely harboring evil intentions.

  Under Xia Xinyan's angry gaze, Shi Yan was calm and didn't even bother to pull up the lower hem of his pants, but instead chuckled and said: "I wasn't sneaking a peek, I was openly looking, cough cough, actually I didn't see anything, don't get worked up."

  "What's wrong? What's wrong, you, your reaction is so exaggerated! Xia Xinyan was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and she couldn't wait to recover her strength and teach him a lesson."

  "In that regard, I'm quite vigorous. If I don't touch a woman for a few days, the little guy will be excited all the time." Shi Yan dryly chuckled twice, then stopped looking at Xia Xinyan and quickly rushed towards a withered tree.

  "You! You!" Xia Xinyan was so angry that she couldn't even speak properly.

  Growing up, any young man in front of her was always polite and slightly reserved, discussing either profound truths or poetry, never daring to utter a single frivolous word.

  This guy is either hanging out in brothels or talking about men and women without any taboos, and often shamelessly flirts with her, making her who usually stays high above, maintains a transcendent identity towards men, feel at a loss, suddenly feeling wronged and ashamed.

  Nowadays, the environment is special, and she has not recovered her strength. She clearly knows that this guy has a belly full of evil water, but she can't find a way to deal with him, which makes Xia Xinyi's anger even more intense, breathing continuously, her chest heaving up and down.

  Before long, Shi Yan brought over some dry firewood, as if nothing had happened, and calmly lit the wood with a flint, then roasted the two fish.

  A rich meaty aroma wafted out... "Hungry, huh? Let's get something to eat first. If you're really mad at me, feel free to yell - no one's around to hear it anyway. I've seen it all before, so go ahead and vent a bit if you want." Shi Yan chuckled, his hands moving quickly as he flipped the roasted fish, soon handing her a skewer.

  "I'm not hungry!" Xia Xinyan gritted her teeth, turned pale and looked away.

  "Gulu!"

  But her stomach was not cooperating and, as if on cue, let out a protesting rumble.

  "Haha." Shi Yan chuckled and took a big step forward, forcibly stuffing the roasted fish into her hand, teasingly saying: "What's the necessity? It's not like you're going to lose any flesh just by taking a look. At worst, I'll take responsibility and reluctantly marry you, how about that?"

  "Shut up!" Xia Xinyan grabbed the roasted fish, glared at him fiercely and said helplessly: "Forget it, I should have known what kind of person you are."

  "Hmm, I'm a bad guy, I'm a super big bad guy." Shi Yan was nonchalant, tearing apart the roasted fish with his rough hands and devouring it.

  "Savage!" Xia Xinyan muttered again, taking out a small knife and eating it piece by piece.
