CapĂtulo 2091: Chapter 420: An Encounter on the Ship 1
Time passed day by day. In the following two days, Wang Yue concealed it from his mother and satisfied all the women in his family. Of course, he didnât forget his mother-in-law Ling Xueyan and his eldest aunt Chen Chen either.
After all, it was uncertain how long it would take to reach Tianhai. Satisfying them before leaving at least prevented them from missing him too much during those first few days.
As for the emotional longing, there was nothing he could do about that. After all, this trip to Tianhai wasnât for leisure, so he couldnât take them along.
Early on the third day, Wang Yue, who had obtained a new sword from Yan Fangfei, set off along with Zhang Hong, Li Gang, and the couple Wu Li.
For this trip to Tianhai, they chose to take a ferry. It wasnât that Wang Yue didnât want to use a flying vehicle to get there quickly, but there were no civilian flights from Jinling to Tianhai.
Only the flying vehicles of martial arts factions were used for travel. Since they needed to keep their identities hidden, using flying vehicles would have attracted attention.
As for the safety of his family after he left, he didnât need to worry. Outside Jinling, there were forces strongly suspected to be sent by his second aunt protecting the area.
Inside, thanks to his efforts over the past two days, most of the women who had been with him earlier had already reached the Gui Zhen realm.
With such strength, any one of them would be almost invincible in Jinling, let alone more than a dozen of them.
Wang Yue and his companions boarded a large cruise ship, much larger than the giant yacht he used on his previous sea voyage. The ship was over a thousand meters long, almost like a small village.
Once on board, Wang Yue separated from Zhang Hong and the other two. Although he had taught Zhang Hong and Li Gang disguise techniques that made them look very different from before, Li Gangâs physique was still too noticeable and easy to recognize.
If they stayed together, it would be difficult for Wang Yue to distance himself from them after eliminating the Zhang family.
At this time, Wang Yue had assumed the appearance he had planned: he looked like an ordinary young man in his twenties, not particularly tall, so much so that he would blend into a crowd unnoticed.
It was early July, and school was on summer break, so many people were on the ship.
Some came to Tianhai to pick up their children who were studying there, others took their children to Tianhai during the break to see the world, and still others were students from Tianhai who returned home after their break from studying in Jinling.
Most of these students were majoring in medicine or various scientific research fields.
Their real reason for coming to Jinling wasnât the university they attended, but rather the legendary female doctor Miao Qingluan and the most powerful scientist Yan Fangfei.
These two women were well-known and could be considered two living landmarks of Jinling.
However, after these students from other places arrived, they all realized they had been deceived.
Although Miao Qingluan and Yan Fangfei bore the titles of guest professors at certain universities, neither of them had actually taught a single class to any students at those schools.
The cruise ship sailed out of the harbor, gradually moving farther away.
Wang Yue sat in a small restaurant located near a childrenâs playground, quietly observing the three women.
The three women seemed to be mother and daughters.
The mother was in her thirties, with medium-length hair and extremely beautiful features.
Even by Wang Yueâs standards, she scored over ninety points in terms of attractiveness. Her large, expressive eyes were particularly striking.
She was dressed formally, wearing a white shirt underneath a black half-collar short-sleeved suit, along with black straight-leg pants.
Completing her outfit were a pair of black semi-high heel leather shoes, giving her a graceful and efficient appearance.
Standing at around 170 centimeters tall, with a curvy figure and full breasts and hips, she exuded an allure that could almost tempt one to commit a crime just by standing there.
The two daughters were twins, identical in appearance to their mother. Both had large eyes and were both beautiful and adorable. They wore ponytails and identical lolita-style white dresses, making it impossible to tell them apart.
Seeing them reminded Wang Yue of his two cousins.
The two girls appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, no longer considered children. Yet they seemed to enjoy themselves greatly in the playground, suggesting that they rarely visited such places.
Wang Yue paid attention to them not because of their beauty or because of the motherâs mature charm and the daughtersâ innocence and cuteness.
After all, he already had such qualities in his own family, so they werenât any better than this mother-daughter trio.
What attracted him was that when he saw the adorable twins, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, just like when he met the beautiful police officer Xin Xiaoxiao.
Previously, Wang Yue thought it might be because he was lustful and felt familiar with beautiful women. But now he knew that wasnât the case.
In terms of attractiveness, the mature and sexy mother was far more attractive than the two naive girls. Yet Wang Yue only felt that way about the girls, not the mother.
This puzzled Wang Yue. Since he had nothing much to do on the ship, he decided to investigate further.
With Wang Yueâs abilities, if he observed someone quietly, even if the person being observed was also at the Degenerate Mortal Realm, it would be difficult for them to notice.
But the two happy-playing girls somehow noticed his attention. One of them turned around and smiled sweetly at him.
Wang Yueâs heart skipped a beat: How did they notice him? Could it be that these two girls, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, were actually hidden masters at the Degenerate Mortal Realm?
But this idea was quickly dismissed by Wang Yue. It was too absurd. How could there be such young masters at the Degenerate Mortal Realm?
Besides himself, even the martial arts sanctuaries couldnât produce such talents. Otherwise, why would his second aunt send only two masters at the True Return Realm to protect the three major families in Jinling?
So, there was only one possibility: they hadnât noticed anything. They simply felt the same familiarity towards him as he did towards them, which is why they smiled at him.
Since that was the case, there was no need to continue observing secretly. Wang Yue stood up immediately, walked over to the railing, and looked closely at the two girls.
Sure enough, when he approached, the little girl who was smiling at him immediately waved and said, âBig brother, do you want to play with us?â
Wang Yue smiled and shook his head. âBig brother wonât play. You guys go ahead.â
Hearing Wang Yue talking to her daughter, the mature young woman next to her turned around and smiled at him.
Wang Yue smiled back, then turned his gaze back to the childrenâs playground.
Although he was surrounded by beautiful women, he had no idea how to flirt with them.
But precisely because of this, the mature young woman gave him another glance.
It is hinted in the story that this mature young womanâs name is Zhou Yifei. Not only is she extremely beautiful and has an excellent figure, but she is also a very capable lawyer. She is single and has two beautiful twin daughters, so countless men are after her.
Some more cunning men, unable to win her over, turned their attention to her daughters, hoping to approach her mother through them first.
However, although her daughters are innocent and naive, they have a natural keen eye for judging people. They can tell at a glance who truly cares about them and who is just trying to get close to them for a purpose.
Yet now, they actually took the initiative to greet a stranger. This was completely unprecedented, so she couldnât help but feel curious about this young man who was neither particularly good-looking nor attractive.
In response to her friendly gestures, the young man simply smiled politely, showing no intention of taking advantage of the situation to talk to her. This made Zhou Yifei think even more that he was different from others.
But she wasnât the kind of woman who thought that âmen who pursue her are annoying, and those who donât are despicable.â Naturally, she wouldnât do anything stupid like testing whether her charm had declined.
She thought that this encounter would just pass by quietly, and they would never see each other again after that.
But then, the two little girls got tired of playing in the park. After coming out, they took the initiative to invite Wang Yue to sit with them. âBig brother, come and sit with us, okay?â
âOkay,â Wang Yue agreed happily. He sat down with the mother and daughters at a four-person table in the restaurant. The young woman sat with one of her daughters on one side, while the girl who had been talking to Wang Yue sat next to him.
âBig brother, my name is Zhou Pingping. This is my mother, and this is my sister Zhou Tingting,â said the girl who had been very proactive. Then she asked, âBig brother, whatâs your name?â
âPingping Tingting, as expected, their names match their beauty,â Wang Yue praised. Then he said, âMy surname is Wang, and my name is Tiezhu.â
Hearing Wang Yue introduce himself, the mother and daughters were surprised and widened their eyes. What kind of name is that? In what era are we living that someone still uses such a name?
Wang Yue smiled slightly and said, âI was weak and sickly since I was young. My family was afraid they wouldnât be able to take care of me, so they named me Tiezhu. Itâs kind of a positive meaning, I guess.â
âBrother Tiezhu, your name must have been given by your father. My sister and I also got our names from our father,â said Zhou Tingting, who hadnât spoken before.
Then her tone became sad. âDad loved us very much, but he hasnât returned for a long time. Mom says he went to a very far place.â
âTingting!â Zhou Yifei didnât expect her younger daughter to open up to someone she just met for the first time. This made her both helpless and surprised.
Although her two daughters are twins, their personalities are quite different. The older daughter is outgoing, while the younger daughter is much shyer than her sister and doesnât talk much.
But her perception ability is stronger than her sisterâs. Sometimes, she can even roughly tell what others are thinking at a glance.
Now, Zhou Tingting is completely unguarded towards this young man she has just met for the first time, which means she already regards him as one of her own people.
This is really strange, because so far, apart from herself, their father, and her sister Zhou Pingping, this young man named Tiezhu is the first person to receive such treatment.
Apart from the word âfate,â Zhou Yifei really canât think of any other reason to explain her daughterâs unusual behavior.
Lin Feng had just gotten into college â and somehow got stuck with the Joyous Union Sect Revival System.
Itâs basically forcing the poor guy to rebuild the sect and take revenge on all the âimmortal maidensâ on campus â aka the upperclassmen and underclassmen.
Sweet Upperclassman: âHey, are you a freshman?â
System: âAârank target! Lock her down ASAP!â
Newlywed Female Counselor: âSkipping class already in the first week?!â
System: âGot leverage on her â get her corrupted quick!â
Meek Little Freshman: âHi, senpai~!â
System: âLove potionâs working â turn her into your slave girl!â
Lin Feng: â??? Is this supposed to be a legit system? All I wanted was to go to college! Not turn the whole school into my harem!â
