Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack
Chapter 967 - 947: Provocation
CHAPTER 967: CHAPTER 947: PROVOCATION
After the transaction was completed, with some idle money in hand, Luo Qianqian decisively handed it over to Qin Nuan. Now Nine Heavens Pavilion had enough Gambling Stones for the next five to ten years, making it unnecessary to disrupt the gemstone market.
Before summer arrived, Luo Qianqian had already followed Tang Tianyi and the team led by Diwu Yan to the Island country to prepare for the opening of the Immortal Island. Besides Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi, the youngest-looking person was Diwu Yan, and the rest, without exception, were all old men...
Luo Qianqian had a Token, a gift of apology from the other party, and Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi also had their competition prizes, so they both had three Tokens in hand, while the organization had only eight in total. Counting the lost ones, having a dozen was considered a lot.
Apart from the Tokens belonging to Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi, Luo Qianqian didn’t leave any for Qin Nuan or Luo Yanran but left the two to handle Nine Heavens Pavilion’s matters.
Their shares, she and Tang Tianyi could bring out.
There was no need to enter such a perilous place, although there were no reports, it was undoubtedly full of dangers inside.
Their early arrival was just to explain to people from other countries, get to know each other, make some connections, and have mutual support inside.
However, Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi left early on. Rather than making connections, they preferred to see cherry blossoms, wander around a bit.
They spent time eating snacks, traveling around, buying local specialties, and time passed quickly.
In front of the port was a vast open space, the surroundings were very clean and tidy, consistent with the first impression of the Island country from the outside.
This was evidently a stop before heading to the Immortal Island. From the small boats, it was clear that each could carry thirty people, meeting the one-boat-per-country need, but varying in decoration and age.
The newest and most luxurious one, unsurprisingly to Luo Qianqian, was given to the blond, blue-eyed guys.
However, looking at the neatly arranged small boats, this kind of armament was very impressive. On second thought, it was backed by state support, but there were also very old-looking boats, which was quite intriguing.
Now, on the open space, people gathered in groups of five or more, those wearing the same color clothes sat together. As for the Huaxia group Luo Qianqian belonged to, naturally wore red, reminding Luo Qianqian of the tomato egg dish combination.
Most people didn’t discuss alliances at this time. Even if the clothes colors were similar, no one dared to take the lead preemptively.
They knew well the principle of catching the bird that takes the lead first.
Mutual wary glances were exchanged, only showing some softness towards those wearing the same clothes.
But once inside the Immortal Island, you couldn’t trust even those beside you.
There was no first-come, first-served; it was a place of survival of the fittest.
If you had the strength, why not?
The red Tang suit was just a cover, while Luo Qianqian and Tang Tianyi also wore black tracksuits underneath.
Wearing this red, how inconvenient for wrongdoing?
The reason was none other than the legendary ’fake Sawadera Shichirou’ was also participating, and for the enmity of disfigurement, it was irreconcilable!
Moreover, since leaving China, Luo Qianqian had always worn fake skin with scars, and her eyes towards Sawadera Shichirou were filled with undisguised resentment.
Feeling the unfriendly gaze from that side, Luo Qianqian just raised an eyebrow, showing her pinky at him, pointing it downwards.
’Sawadera Shichirou’ was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile, mouthing words at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian’s face turned black; if she hadn’t seen wrong, the mouth clearly said: You’re dead.
But then she was relieved, full of killing intent towards her? Wasn’t she the same?
Even those hating her to death hadn’t dared to hurt her with a knife!
Smiling slightly at ’Sawadera Shichirou,’ she didn’t approach to provoke but retreated behind Diwu Yan.
She didn’t know this person well, but her current impression was that he would do anything.
Moreover, in this Yingzhou Island, who knew what could happen?
Seeing Luo Qianqian’s behavior, ’Sawadera Shichirou’ squinted slightly, yet inwardly relieved, but couldn’t help a bit of anger: "Kid, once inside the Barrier, no matter how strong your backing, you’ll have to serve under me!"
With a tight grip on his fist, ’Sawadera Shichirou’s’ face bore an evil smile, as if imagining Luo Qianqian’s fate.
Unaware of his thoughts, Luo Qianqian knew there was no settling with him, even if the other side forgave, she wouldn’t!
"His strength has increased." Tang Tianyi suddenly spoke.
Luo Qianqian blinked, furrowing her brows slightly, but nodded: "Normally, his wounds shouldn’t have healed so quickly."
"Feels like there’s some conspiracy," Tang Tianyi nodded.
From afar, a huge ship was already approaching, an elder in black stood on it, looking towards the crowd, and next to him was a spotted tiger, conspicuously on the plain-colored ship.
"Hey, acting like a tycoon now?"
Luo Qianqian chuckled, judging by the attire, he was undoubtedly from the Island country.
Sweeping her gaze over the elder, her expression condensed, was he looking at her?
Feeling her heart pounding fiercely and soul trembling, Luo Qianqian felt weak in her legs.
Tang Tianyi, standing beside her, naturally noticed her strange behavior. He smiled, got closer, wrapped his arm around her shoulder, kissed her cheek, and supported her, whispering like sweet talk: "That elder should be the person in charge from the Island country."
Luo Qianqian followed suit, hitting Tang Tianyi’s chest shyly, her face blushing genuinely, real embarrassment from the sudden kiss from Tang Tianyi.
"He bears hostility towards me."
The elder spoke then, though without a loudspeaker, everyone heard clearly.
"This time Yingzhou Island opens earlier. As usual, one month duration, no map, no rules, whatever you bring out is yours, with no right to question, and once off Yingzhou Island, no fighting on my territory."
Inside, it’s a matter of life or death? Even if you die, there’s no reason for revenge?
Luo Qianqian unintentionally smiled coldly, wanting to kill her? She wanted to see who was killing whom!
The elder slowly raised his head, looking at Luo Qianqian with a meaningful gaze.
"Due to certain rules, one can only enter Yingzhou Island once in a lifetime. Going in a second time would mean sure death. Of course, some younger ones needn’t rush this time; next time is still an option." The elder still gazed straight at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian’s face stiffened, undoubtedly the youngest among them was her and Tang Tianyi. Was this directed at her?
"As usual, items brought out belong to individuals, idle item trading will start one month later. That’s it, now it’s still time to withdraw, as this is not a child’s play." The elder’s gaze scanned everyone, landing again on Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, directly heading to the small boat corresponding to Huaxia, her actions conveying her answer.
