In the dark bottom of the iron ship, Chen Fan held a hammer and seriously tapped on the iron-wood structure of the ship's plank, testing the thickness of the ship's plank. Xia Xinyan stood aside silently, her eyes always fixed on his movements without saying a word.
Chen Fan hammered attentively for a while, his expression finally relaxed, and he showed a confident smile: "This iron ship is indeed very strong, but it can't trouble me. As long as I go all out, cutting open the ship's plank is like picking out something from a bag. We Just stay here, and if a master comes to attack, I will directly smash a big hole and take you to jump into the sea to escape."
Xia Xinyan nodded slightly and said worriedly: "That Li Wei is narrow-minded and will not let us go easily. He should lead his men here soon."
Chen Fan looked at her and sighed: "Xinyan, your charm is really irresistible. Even if you disguise yourself like this, you can still cause so much trouble. If your appearance is restored, I'm afraid all the men on this iron ship will be worried about it." You are crazy. It seems that you cannot stay here for long, so it is best to leave as soon as possible."
When Xia Xinyan heard this, she glared at him and retorted: "You are the one who attracts bees and butterflies. It is true that a dog's mouth cannot spit out ivory." Although she said this, there was a slight blush on her face. , I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Although Chen Fan's words were slightly harsh, there was hidden praise for her beauty. In the past, Xia Xinyan might have dismissed this, but now she felt a little happy. When she looked at Chen Fan, he was no longer so annoying.
Recalling the scene just now, Chen Fan's heroic back against four agile warriors alone left a deep impression on Xia Xinyan's heart, and it seemed to have caused waves of ripples in her peaceful inner lake...
"It's the first time I've seen you take action today. I didn't expect your strength to be so amazing." Xia Xinyan hesitated, her bright eyes flashing with curiosity, "I heard that you didn't practice martial arts before you were seventeen, but You reached the state of Qi gathering overnight, what’s going on?”
"Well, it's a bit of a chance." Chen Fan responded lightly. He didn't want to get too entangled in this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "It's not that I'm really strong, but that the four Li Wei people are too ordinary. They don't have any martial arts." His soul and vitality are not strong enough, and I am afraid he will not be able to compare with the agile warriors of the same realm."
"You are so meticulous in your observations." Xia Xinyan nodded in agreement, and then said: "In Hehuan Dongtian, many disciples are obsessed with men and women and are not keen on practicing. The dual cultivation martial arts in Hehuan Dongtian are like double-edged swords, although to a certain extent It allows disciples to improve their vitality through dual cultivation, but it also corrodes their will. Many disciples who originally had good qualifications gradually sank because they were too addicted to the pleasures of men and women, and no longer pursued progress, resulting in the inability to make breakthroughs."
Undoubtedly, the vitality of most of the disciples here is not pure enough. Although Li Wei has the cultivation of the second level of agility, the purity of his vitality is not as pure as that of an ordinary warrior of the first level of agility. Therefore, when he faced Chen Fan, he would naturally not get any benefits. What's more, he doesn't have the amulet of martial soul on him.
"Although Li Wei is a little worse, your strength is too amazing." Xia Xinyan frowned and said lightly: "When I was in the first level of spiritual movement, I couldn't easily defeat Li Wei unless I used my Samsara Martial Spirit, but that would be a bit cheating."
Chen Fan and Xia Xinyan were not ordinary people. After they injured Li Wei, they actually talked and laughed on someone else's property. They seemed to have no idea how to write the word "death".
The two of them were talking and laughing, and time passed by unconsciously. Soon, three hours passed, and they still showed no fear, as if they were at home.
Unexpectedly, Li Wei did not appear again. Instead, the clever girl Xiaofeng sent food and fresh water in advance.
Xiaofeng's eyes flashed as she put down the food and fresh water, and then looked at Chen Fan curiously.
Chen Fan didn't have any extra words to say. He walked over to open the food and suddenly smiled: "Xiao Feng, what happened today? The food is so rich that I was a little surprised."
In the past, the basket only contained salted fish and steamed buns, but today it was filled with fragrant cooked beef and roasted chicken, as well as a small pot of wine and a large jar of fresh water. The food standard this time has improved significantly, which surprised Chen Fan.
"Did you hurt Li Wei?" Xiaofeng asked curiously.
"That's right." Chen Fan looked at the excited Xiaofeng and was a little stunned, "How do you know? Li Wei is your enemy?"
"I wish I could kill him with my own hands!" Xiaofeng gritted her teeth, her eyes full of hatred, "He tortured my three sisters, and they all died unfortunately. If I had the ability, I would have taken revenge long ago!"
"I also want to help you, but Li Wei seems to be related to that yellow-faced man. If I hurt him, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay on this ship anymore." Chen Fan tore open the chicken legs and ate them with big mouthfuls. , took another sip of wine, and then handed a large piece of cooked beef to Xia Xinyan, "Daughter-in-law, eat more. Only when you are full can you have the strength to face the next difficulties."
Xia Xinyan stood behind Chen Fan, and when he wasn't paying attention, she quietly stretched out her hand and pinched him hard on the waist, and then glared at him hatefully. She deliberately pretended to be nonchalant and walked out from behind Chen Fan, took the piece of beef and quickly dodged it, a trace of pride flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Chen Fan grinned in pain, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You bitch who doesn't want to suffer, see how I deal with you later."
Xiaofeng seemed to notice the interaction between the two, but did not pay attention to it. She smiled slightly and explained: "Although Li Wei is the nephew of the protector of Li Zhuang, he does not dare to be too presumptuous on this ship. I learned that you were injured He, I immediately reported it to Protector Ju, who let me know the specific situation. As long as it is not your fault, Protector Ju will protect you."
Chen Fan's heart moved and he immediately realized that Protector Ju might have a conflict with Li Zhuang. If he hurt Li Wei, Protector Ju would be secretly happy and take the opportunity to suppress Li Zhuang.
"The thing is like this, Li Wei is despicable and shameless, and he actually wants to attack my wife. I..." Chen Fan described it with added detail, describing Li Wei as heinous.
"I understand." Xiaofeng nodded and showed a bright smile, "Li Wei is indeed despicable and shameless. What you said is so good. I will report it to Protector Ju right now. I believe he will make the decision for you." After that, Xiaofeng turned around and left gracefully, quickly going up the stairs.
"Oh, you were talking about Protector Ju. I remembered that she was the woman who spoke for us on the boat at the beginning." Chen Fan nodded, with a trace of doubt in his eyes, "But why did she fall in love with me? ?”
Xia Xinyan curved her eyebrows and chuckled: "Maybe she fell in love with your handsomeness, or your intelligence. In Hehuan Cave, the guardians and elders are qualified to accept disciples, and they are usually men. We accept female disciples, and the female students accept male disciples. You know, the master-disciple relationship in Hehuan Dongtian is very close."
Chen Fan showed a hint of surprise on his face and couldn't help but ask: "How intimate is it?"
Xia Xinyan's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "It's so intimate that we need to teach the Dharma on the bed. I know you understand."
"Facial head?" Chen Fan exclaimed, looking quite embarrassed.
Xia Xinyan chuckled and said: "Almost. In front of outsiders, they have the title of master and disciple, and they will spend the night together. I don't know how many disciples that Protector Ju has. If you can become one of them, every month You will always be favored by her for a few days. By then, you will naturally learn some secrets of Hehuan Cave. Isn't this what you want? You should be happy." As she said that, Xia Xinyan's eyes flashed After a hint of teasing, Chen Fan's expression changed.
"How many apprentices?" Chen Fan's face gradually darkened, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart.
A trace of sympathy flashed in Xia Xinyan's eyes, and she explained: "There are so many apprentices. Some female guardians even have dozens of apprentices. In addition to apprentices, they also have various partners. If they are among friendly forces, When they meet the man they like, they will show off their charm without hesitation and throw themselves into each other's arms. 'Lotus arms can be used as pillows by thousands of people, and beautiful lips can be tasted by thousands of people'. This is the true portrayal of the women in Hehuan Cave."
Chen Fan felt angry and said angrily: "Isn't it better to sell it out?"
Xia Xinyan shook her head gently and explained patiently: "No, they are not the same. This is just their hobby, not for money. Just like some people like flowers and plants, and some people like gold and silver jewelry, the women in Hehuan Cave just like this. A way of communicating with people. You will understand soon, when you are received by Protector Nju."
With Xia Xinyan's soft voice, Chen Fan's mood became heavier and his face became more ugly.
"Dong dong dong!"
As expected, Xiaofeng was like a cheerful bird, and returned to the stairs in a blink of an eye, waving to Chen Fan with a smile, and said excitedly: "Protector Ju, please come over and say that I have something important to discuss with you. Your Good luck, as long as you get the approval of Protector Ju, that guy in Li Zhuang won't dare to do anything to you. Hurry up, Protector Ju is already waiting for you."
Chen Fan frowned, held his stomach, and pretended to be in pain: "I'm feeling a little unwell, so I won't go there yet."
Xiaofeng asked with concern: "You must have been hurt by Li Wei, right?" After receiving Chen Fan's acquiescence, she comforted: "It doesn't matter, Protector Ju has various healing medicines there, maybe she will reward you with some, that way Your injuries will recover faster. This is a rare opportunity, don’t miss it, go quickly.”
However, Chen Fan still shook his head and refused.
Xia Xinyan looked on with cold eyes, secretly happy in her heart, but her tone was still cold: "What? Are you scared?"
Chen Fan's eyes widened, and he suddenly rushed to Xia Xinyan's side, grabbed her wrist tightly, and said firmly: "Let's go together!"
A flash of panic flashed in Xia Xinyan's beautiful eyes. She struggled hard and said in a cold voice: "Let me go! You can go alone, why are you holding me?!"
Chen Fan held her wrist tightly and refused to let go no matter how much she struggled. He said calmly: "How can I rest assured if you stay here? Who knows if Li Wei will come over while I'm away? From today on, you won't Stay out of my sight, and you must follow me wherever I go."
"You!" Xia Xinyan exclaimed, angry and annoyed by Chen Fan's determination and dominance. With her beautiful eyes flowing, she looked at Chen Fan for a few seconds, then finally gave up struggling and let him grab her hand. A blush appeared on her neck, mixed with helplessness and a hint of emotion.
"I can go, but she must go with me. I can't let her stay here alone." Chen Fan turned to Xiaofeng with a firm gaze and an unquestionable tone.
Xiaofeng looked helpless and nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go ask Protector Ju for instructions. You guys follow me."
"Um."
Xiaofeng walked in front. Chen Fan held Xia Xinyan's hand tightly and followed Xiaofeng with a calm expression. They walked along the stairs towards the third level of the ship.
Xia Xinyan lowered her head, the disguised expression on her face did not change, but her neck gradually turned red. Her heart was beating fast, and she felt ashamed because her hand was held by Chen Fan.
At this moment, Chen Fan's big face came close to her ear again. Xia Xinyan's heart trembled, and she immediately glared at him, signaling him not to act recklessly.
However, Chen Fan ignored her and whispered quietly in her ear: "That woman may get angry later. Pay attention to my signal, be prepared in advance, and be ready to jump into the river at any time. I will protect you from behind. of."
Xia Xinyan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she responded softly: "Well, you have to be careful too." Then, she deliberately kept a distance from Chen Fan, so as not to cause more shyness due to his close skin. Her snow-white neck was flushed, and she was beautiful.
