Chapter 178: Make A Bet?

  Huoyun Island, He Family.

  In a magnificent great hall, all kinds of delicious fruits and dishes were displayed, with fragrant fine wines being served one jug after another.

  The atmosphere in the hall was warm and lively, with He Luo beaming with smiles as he repeatedly offered toasts to Mo Duanhun.

  The heads of other martial forces on Huoyun Island were also excited, and every time they toasted Mo Duanhun, they stood up voluntarily, with extreme respect.

  Mo Duanhun sat in the main hall's chairman seat, his face expressionless and motionless. When someone offered him a toast, he merely nodded slightly and downed the drink in one gulp.

  Shi Yan sat beside Mo Duan's soul body, a faint smile on his face as he quietly observed the people in the hall.

  These prestigious figures on Huoyun Island were extremely gentle and smiling when facing Mo Duanhun.

  As soon as Mo Duanhun slightly nodded to them, they looked like they were honored and surprised. In Shi Yan's eyes, it was quite ridiculous. Mo Duanhun was a member of the Yang family and also the leader of the three great Asura Kings. In the Garo Sea domain, he was the most respected person. He could come to the He family and sit together with these people to drink, which was already giving enough face to the He family. It also brought glory to those who came to discuss important matters with the He family.

  These people on Huoyun Island may be considered prestigious. But compared to Mo Duanhun, there is an insurmountable distance.

  They don't even have the qualifications to set foot on the island of immortals.

  They had only heard of Mo Duanhun's reputation before, but never saw him. Today, they caught the opportunity and naturally wouldn't let it go. Extremely good at speaking, he hoped to pull closer to Mo Duanhun and leave a good impression in his heart.

  Huoyun Island is considered to be within the sphere of influence of Tiandao Cave Heaven, but the Garo Sea Domain belongs to the Yang family. They have to operate in the Garo Sea Domain, and if they accidentally do something that offends the Yang family, Mo Duanhun might be able to speak up for them and possibly salvage their power.

  So when it comes to treating Mo Duanhun, they can be said to have done their best, just hoping to get some recognition.

  Of course, due to a small detail before Mo Duanhun, although they were not clear about Shi Yan's true identity, they were still very cautious. When trying to please Mo Duanhun, they did not forget Shi Yan and frequently offered him wine.

  A man of strong character and simple tastes, who welcomes all visitors without distinction, and when offered a cup of wine by someone, he will drain it in one gulp, without any airs.

  Huoyan Island is known for its high temperature, and it produces some good tropical fruits that are sweet and delicious.

  Shi Yan naturally wouldn't be polite and tasted all these fruits one by one, and was delighted to be carefree.

  At the height of the banquet, He Luo gave a loud order, and many beautiful women with revealing clothes, wearing thin silk, holding musical instruments, came forward gracefully.

  These women had bright eyes with a flirtatious intent, revealing their snowy arms and snake-like waists. In the empty space within the hall, they swayed their bodies in a dance, frequently casting flirtatious glances at Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan, with an appearance of trying to please them. Mo Duanhun was not interested in this, his expression wooden, his eyes narrowed as if he didn't care.

  Shi Yan was also expressionless and didn't overly reveal his nature, drinking wine while smiling as he gazed at the slender and beautiful woman in the hall.

  Seven women, all young and beautiful, with slender figures. As they danced, their breasts swayed back and forth, quite enticing.

  What was most rare was that these women seemed to know their mission and also knew that everyone present were people of noble status.

  They would often dance in front of Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan, subtly revealing the most beautiful parts of their bodies, putting on a show as if to say "enjoy yourselves". He Luo had a smile on his face, secretly observing, and as long as Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan showed even a hint of interest, he would arrange for these women to actively seek out Shi Yan and Mo Duanhun at night, offering them the most beautiful and alluring parts of their bodies for the two men to savor.

  Mo Duanhun has always been uninterested in women, which is something that many warriors from the Garo Sea Domain are aware of. He Luo observed him secretly for a while and also discovered that Mo Duanhun indeed seemed to have no interest in beautiful women. With this in mind, he dispelled the idea of sending these women to find Mo Duanhun for pleasure.

  He Luo's attention was focused on Shi Yan.

  Although Shi Yan didn't reveal his true nature, when faced with beautiful things, he wouldn't hypocritically avoid them. He would gaze at these stunning women with eyes full of appreciation, looking at their figures with an open and honest expression.

  He Luo was overjoyed in his heart and slowly counted, preparing for the banquet to end soon, letting these seven women go to Shi Yan's room together, and let Shi Yan choose.

  Before long, the seven women quietly dispersed. As they left, they secretly cast flirtatious glances at Shi Yan, their eyes filled with tender feelings.

  "Hehe, these seven girls are the seven golden flowers of our Huoyun Island. They are still virgins and have very high standards. When we have noble guests here, they will dance for a while and then leave calmly. Today, I see that these seven girls seem to have taken a liking to you, little brother, frequently glancing at you. You truly have extraordinary charm!"

  After those seven women left, He Luo laughed and said casually.

  He smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and shook his head gently.

  He naturally knew what He Luo meant and understood that these seven women were absolutely precious treasures in He Luo's hands. The reason why He Luo had been keeping these seven women as virgins was to use them at the most critical moment, and they were not willing to take them out on ordinary days because they had not found a truly noble person to please.

  He said that He Luo obviously wanted to make a move, and as soon as he nodded, He Luo would probably arrange for the seven women to appear in his room immediately.

  Shi Yan's heart was heavy with worry, and he couldn't bring himself to indulge in the pleasure of the seven beautiful women. He shook his head to decline He Luo's offer, still preoccupied with Xia Xun's condition, who was still unconscious due to her injuries sustained while saving him. He Luo was slightly surprised, thinking that at Shi Yan's age, he should be susceptible to the charms of beautiful women. The seven women were carefully selected by He Luo, each one stunningly beautiful and sensual, and all virgins. He Luo had great confidence in them, and even he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart when facing them, with thoughts of possession arising.

  He observed Shi Yan quietly for a while, and from Shi Yan's expression and eyes, he thought that Shi Yan would definitely not refuse this tempting proposal, so after Shi Yan shook his head, he was very surprised.

  "Dad, this guy will sacrifice anything to achieve his own goals. What's more, the seven little golden flowers?"

  Just then, He Qingman's pleasant voice suddenly came from behind the hall.

  Her voice had just fallen. He Qingman came over, dominating the scene with her stunning beauty. He Qingman wore a light purple-red dress, with various bright flowers embroidered on the hem, and her beautiful hair flowed like silk over her shoulders. Her slender peach blossom eyes sparkled with charm, and after removing her veil, her cheeks were rosy, her lips inviting, and her skin was as smooth as jade, radiating an extraordinary glow. Her slender and charming figure was enchanting and alluring.

  In the hall, many warriors' eyes lit up, and their expressions were all somewhat dazed.

  For a moment, the originally noisy great hall fell eerily silent.

  Even Mo Duanhun raised his head to glance at He Qingman, surprised by her captivating charm for a moment. Shi Yan swept a glance at He Qingman, and his eyes also lit up suddenly, although he didn't like this woman, but he still secretly admired her.

  He Qingman is actually on par with Xia Xinyan as a stunning beauty.

  Xia Xinyan is elegant and refined, He Qingman is charming and alluring. Although their charm is not the same, they are both stunning beauties who can captivate cities with their looks alone. Whether it's their face or figure, there's nothing to pick on." "Old He, your little girl is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up, I really don't know which family's young master will be lucky enough to marry her in the future."

  A red-faced man named Wummu couldn't help but praise, "Qing Man is indeed a shining pearl in our Garo Sea Domain. Alas, my son's talent is not good and was not chosen by the Tianxie Cave Heaven, I'm afraid he has no chance this lifetime."

  "Wumu, even your family's young master dares to be lazy and eat swan meat? Hehe, Qingman this girl will definitely become an important figure in the Tianya Cave Heaven in the future. In the Galuo Sea area, even if the young masters of the Xia and Yang families have ideas, the Tianya Cave Heaven would not agree, let's just forget it."

  "Yes, Qing Man is indeed the treasure of Tian Xie Dong Tian. Only young masters like Xie Kui from Tian Hu Dong Tian have the possibility of obtaining permission from Tian Xie Dong Tian to pursue Qing Man with all their might."

  "Old Hei, you're really lucky, having a good daughter like her!"

  Everyone in the hall laughed and praised, envying He Luo's good luck for having a daughter who was not only stunningly beautiful but also possessed dual martial souls of wind and water, being treated as a treasure by the Tian Xie Cave Heaven. This instantly made the He family the masters of Huo Yun Island. Their future influence would surely rise with He Qingman's growth. He Luo laughed loudly and said: "You few should work hard, maybe in the future you'll also be able to produce some good offspring, haha."

  He Luo deliberately avoided He Qingman's accusation of Shi Yan, he didn't know who Shi Yan was, but he knew that Mo Duanhun valued Shi Yan very much, based on this point, he wouldn't offend Shi Yan. Shi Yan furrowed his brow, ignoring He Qingman's words, and only gave a faint glance at the enchanting He Qingman with an indifferent expression.

  "Now we can talk business."

  Mo Duan's soul and body were slightly seated upright, and he said faintly.

  In his eyes, these people were nothing, not even considered as people from the Tian Xie Cave Heaven. At this moment, he was just going through the motions and didn't say much at the banquet.

  He Qingman, due to his extraordinary qualifications and being the most precious seed master of Tian Xie Cave Heaven, has an unlimited future ahead of him. Therefore, Mo Duanhun pays a bit more attention to him, only bringing up the main topic after He Qingman appears.

  "Alright."

  He Luo stood up with a smile, glanced at the many warriors in the hall, and said with a smile: "It's not early today either, several younger brothers. It's time to go back and rest?"

  These people were indeed sensible and, upon hearing this, they all stood up one after another, their faces filled with smiles as they bid farewell to Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan.

  They would have liked to stay and listen, but unfortunately Mo Duanhun didn't say much, so they didn't dare linger and left. In a short while, these people disappeared cleanly.

  Soon, the leftover dishes and wine in the main hall were cleaned up by the maids of the He family, and the miscellaneous people inside the hall also disappeared.

  Only He Luo and her daughter He Qingman were left, sitting in front of Mo Duanhun and Shi Yan.

  "Why did you come to Huoyun Island and why are you looking for the Ten Thousand Year Volcano?"

  He Qing's bright eyes sparkled as she gazed at Shi Yan and said in a soft voice.

  "I want to save Xinyan."

  Shi Yan furrowed his brow and said in a deep voice.

  "Can the Ten Thousand Year Volcano save Xiang'er?"

  He Qingman's face was incredulous, she shook her head and said disdainfully: "I've never heard of it before, what does the awakening of the soul have to do with the Millennium Volcano?"

  "There's a lot you haven't heard."

  The stone rock was neither cold nor hot, and said faintly: "I say I can save him, then I can save him! Do you want to make a bet?"

  "Bet? What bet?"

  He Qingman suddenly became interested, her bright eyes sparkling.
