Chapter 157 - A Pleasant Journey  

When Carmon and the others arrived at the boat, a buoyant searching of the pirates spoils began under Linda’s direction. Weapons, medicines and martial skills of the mortal rank were discovered one by one, along with a motley assortment of knives and gadgets and so on, which proved immensely appealing to Carmon, Jett and some others.

For instance, two profound martial skills were found in Kong Er and Beard Uncle’s bodies, not to mention the peculiar soft armor that Lin Changxiao had been wearing, which surprisingly turned out to be a rare treasure of the spirit rank. The armor, soft as it was, could accumulate power constantly in order to unleash it when the owner was attacked, acting as an automatic defence.

Apart from these, the giant ship also harbored a great amount of explosives piled like a small mountains in the cabins; a glimpse of these deadly weapons could send chills down one’s spine.

Linda raised her head, her eyes were impenetrably cold. She checked the collected items one by one, taking Lin’s soft armor for herself as well as storing some of the medicines in her purse, before she kindly left the rest to Carmon and the others. This delighted Carmon, Jett and the other fellows very much, and without delay they plunged themselves into the plunder and snatched whatever came to their liking. In a moment, these men fell into a heated argument concerning the distribution of the items, some even shouted words with a flushing face.

This was surely a disgrace to Linda. Knitting her eyebrows, she could not help but raise her voice and commanded, “Shut up, you guys! Draw lots to decide who should have the things you all want. If any of you still make a noise I shall turn over the spoils to the sect, and I promise no one is ever gonna get a single bit of them!”

The crowd was immediately tamed, and even the discussing whispers were hushed. With her back straightened and her round breasts stuck out, Linda nodded satisfactorily. She threw Shi Yan a casual look and asked, “don’t you want to pick something?”

“What’s it got to do with him?” Carmon broke forth indignantly, glaring fiercely at Shi Yan, “What has he done to help us? Also, he’s not one of us! How come he has the right to take our spoils?”

It was natural for Carmon to make this protest, considering how much value the spoils in the ship held and how little favorable impression Shi Yan had made on the him. This same sentiment soon found its echo in Jett and the others, who shouted their disagreement one after another after hearing Linda’s words.

Linda’s delicate face fell, amid the disgruntled voices. She snorted, “I never would have come here if not for his escort! He has the right to have a share when I say he has! Who’s going to stand up against me?” Right at this moment, the relationship between Linda and Shi Yan had already reached a point where Linda would instantly feel rather offended whenever Carmon and the other guys threw Shi Yan unkind words. At such moments, she was anxious to teach them a lesson.

Seeing Linda in rage, Carmon and Jett could only bite their lips and continued their protest silently by casting Shi Yan murderous looks, as if Shi Yan was their arch-criminal.

“I’d rather pass,” Shi Yan smiled, shaking his head, “after all I haven’t made much contribution to deserve the treasures.” Actually in his heart, the so-called “treasures” do not deserved his attention at all.

Knowing that Shi Yan was not much interested in the spoils, Linda nodded lightly and indicated him with her eyes, signalling that he did not need to bother himself arguing with the likes of Carmon. To this considerate suggestion Shi Yan shook his head, and smiling instead, meaning that he would not waste time on them, so there was nothing for her to worry about.

“You guys hurry up, we’ll set sail shortly. The pirate’s vessel is good, but the signs left by Blood Pupil are too many. Blood Pupil is not known for his good reputation. So we’ll leave this vessel to avoid unnecessary troubles.” Seeing that Carmon and the others were still lost in picking the spoils, Linda shouted impatiently. The fellow men obeyed by hastening their pace.

Half an hour later, the distribution was done, with the remaining items all stuffed into their ship’s cabins. In an elevated mood the men talked and laughed loudly, sailing their ship in the direction of the Setting Sun Island.

Shi Yan still spent his time lying on the piles of all sorts of boxes and baskets, practicing martial skills secretly by himself. Only sometimes Linda would find all kinds of excuses to call Shi Yan down to her cabin now and then. Each time Shi Yan entered her room, she would bolt the wooden door by the staircase carefully, and the two of them would then have their intimate time with hushed voices.

The pleasant sensations after first tasting in sexual intercourse had left Linda no appetite for food, ruminating the rapture and euphoria all the time. Therefore she often times called Shi Yan to her cabin, asking him to give her the provoking experiences again, and to have her prolific lands further opened up by him.

Each time Shi Yan walked out of the cabin, Carmon, Jett, and the others would throw him suspicious looks, wondering the reason for the suddenly developed relationship between Linda and Shi Yan, doubting if meeting the pirates had given them a shared secret that bonded them thereafter. Since Linda and Shi Yan behaved quite normally before them, nobody would ever believe their relationship to be a carnal one except Carmon.

“Here’s your food and water.” Jett came to Shi Yan’s place, putting down three baskets of fruits and meat along with two jars of water in front of Shi Yan. Smiling, Jett said, with a half-complaining tone, ”Sister Linda asked me especially to bring you food, and that I should not cut a portion. But you really eat a ton, I worry if our food is going to be eaten up by you alone. Carmon is having an issue with this, and I’d not dare to bring you this much if Sister Linda had not asked me to. ”

Shi Yan returned a faint smile, and brought the fruits and meat from the baskets to his mouth, eating with enjoyment. “Thanks,” he added.

“Eh-huh.” Then Jett squatted down abruptly, approaching Shi Yan closely and asked in a lowered, furtive voice, “Shi Yan, what did you do in that room? Do you have a secret or what? What on earth happened when you two met the pirates alone?” With a curious face, Jett spoke rather earnestly, without forgetting to keep a vigilant eye. He looked over his shoulder to make sure nobody was around, and then continued his persuasion, “You know, I’m very reliable. I won’t tell a word to others. So just let me know! Shi Yan, I’m reeeeeeally curious to death! Be an angel and just let me know!”

“Just telling jokes and...you know, bill and coo. There’s no secret at all.” Shi Yan could not help laughing. Shaking his head, he felt amused by how Jett would react if ever he knew the postures they took each time in bed.

“Bill and coo?” Jett stared hard at Shi Yan with widely opened eyes for a second, then immediately said indifferently, “Want to send me away with such a lame excuse? Talking Love? With sister Linda? Haha! Do you know her status? Her family is extremely famous even in my home seas, Heng Luo Sea Area. She’s going to be a central disciple to the Three Gods Sect, and you still think you deserve her? You are delirious, boy!”

To this Shi Yan replied an apathetic smile and said no more words.

Just then, Linda’s voice came from the cabin again, clear and cold, with a smack of condescension as if one was calling for a servant, “Shi Yan, come down. I’ve got things to ask you.”

Jett smirked proudly, “Haha! Boy, if you can really bill and coo with sister Linda, how come she’s speaking to you like a queen? Admit it! Alright, just go, sister Linda must have some business to do with you. Better behave yourself, don’t look at the wrong places with your goo-goo eyes. You’ll learn your lesson if you ever go out of the limit. Haha! Carmon was beaten blue and purple back then, when he tried to look at the wrong places. You know what I mean. Don’t say I haven’t warned you! Haha!”

Obviously, jett would not believe a word of what Shi Yan had said.

Shrugging, Shi Yan walked to the cabin, smiling proudly, and wondering what would Linda ask for this time. This woman was really a slut in bed, desirous to try every posture. Thinking this, Shi Yan’s blood began rushing, and his eyes glittered excitedly.

At this moment, the crew on board did not pay much attention to their oncoming meeting at all, except for Carmon, who had been observing Shi Yan secretively all the time. The suggestive flash in Shi Yan’s eyes made his heart throb alertly, and his face turned grimly. Heedless, Shi Yan walked down to the cabin.

Linda had long been waiting for him, and once Shi Yan arrived by the door, her face beamed charmingly, and quietly she bolted the wooden door from within, then thrusted her soft, fragrant body into Shi Yan’s arms, her eyes overflowing with sexual desires. In her tender, suggestive voice, she smiled and said, “Let’s do that today.”

Meanwhile, Carmon quietly moved near the wooden door, his face was gloomy and nervous. Then, he carefully stuck his ear against the door.

He had been on a stakeout for days, the result of which warned him with an ever increasing voice, that there was something suspicious going on between Shi Yan and Linda. The ill omen hung over his heart like dark clouds that would not go away.

For years, Carmon had an unrequited love for Linda, losing his heart to her at the first sight on the ceremony when he became a peripheral disciple of the Three Gods Sect. Thereafter, Carmon had abandoned many chances of his success during the past years, just to follow Linda and to wholeheartedly serve her. He also successfully drove away all others suitors. Deep in his heart, Linda was the only person that captivated him, and himself alone. Never will he allow anyone to lay a finger on Linda.

However, the appearance of Shi Yan roused a pressing sense of insecurity in his heart. When everyone else had not detected the usual feeling Linda had for Shi Yan, Carmon, with his sensitive heart, that knew everything about Linda, sniffed something portentous in the air.

Finally this time, he could not contain the increasing suspicion in his heart, and therefore tried to find out the truth by sticking his ear on the door.

In the cabin, Shi Yan and Linda were having a romantic moment while consciously keeping down the noise and softening their movements. Therefore Carmon’s detective action proved fruitless after a while. He knitted his brows tightly, and the doubt only deepened even more, his face became more grave. In principle, Linda should have been talking with Shi Yan, as her excuse went, but the contrasting silence only showed that there was something fishy going on behind that wooden door.

Jett and other warriors on the deck all wondered about the furtive behavior of Carmon, but they all remained silent, since on the one hand, those who were on good terms with Carmon would naturally protect their friend, whereas on the other hand, those who liked Linda also wanted to know the secret between Shi Yan and Lind, therefore for them Carmon was finding out the desired truth for themselves.

After a long while, what Carmon heard was still a total silence. But his perseverance encouraged him to hold his breath and continue the mission.

Eventually, his hard work paid off.

Half an hour later, some strange, erotic pants came to his ears.
