Chapter 139: The Moving Island

At that moment, Desna emerged from the bedroom, rubbing her tousled golden hair as she looked at Danlina.

Danlina sat down and said to Desna, “You didn’t sleep in the same bed last night? What a pity.”

“Nonsense!” Desna adjusted her nightgown and asked, “Why are you in such a hurry? What happened? And what happened to me yesterday?”

Danlina waved her hand gently, signaling her not to worry.

Song Kai took a sip of water and said, “Come on, just tell us what’s going on.”

Danlina turned to Song Kai and said, “After you brought Desna back yesterday, I stayed behind and described the situation regarding the Sacred Mountain Sect to those people.”

Song Kai nodded.

Danlina sat beside Song Kai and continued, “Although I didn’t believe it, given my status, everyone decided to go to Sacred Mountain Island to take a look. I couldn’t refuse, so I went along. We searched around but found nothing. So, everyone decided to rest on the boat and resume the search early this morning. We searched again this morning and still found nothing. Just as some were beginning to doubt me, the ferry suddenly appeared. On the ferry were the members of the Sacred Mountain Sect. They had no knowledge of what happened after I fainted yesterday. They brought the police and approached Sacred Mountain. Over twenty special forces soldiers went in, but then the entire island began to sink, as if it were alive.”

Song Kai was stunned. “You mean the whole island was sinking?”

“Yes, the entire Sacred Mountain Island!” Danlina’s voice trembled with fear. “Because there were still over twenty special forces soldiers on the island, everyone rushed to rescue them as the island sank. I listened to you and didn’t dare get involved, so I stayed on another boat, waiting. Then suddenly, two helicopters and a rescue ship—over eighty police officers in total—were caught by a giant wave. The helicopters and rescue ship were slammed into the sea, and no one survived. The Sacred Mountain Island soon completely disappeared beneath the surface, leaving no trace.”

After hearing Danlina’s account, Song Kai frowned deeply. Could it be that the island wasn’t really an island?

He said nothing more.

Desna grabbed Danlina, asking about herself.

Song Kai took out his phone and booked a plane ticket.

The flight was scheduled for the evening.

Desna was moved after hearing Danlina’s story. She walked over to Song Kai, took his hand, and said, “Dear Song, you’re so brave. You Chinese men are truly remarkable.”

Song Kai put down his phone and smiled sheepishly. “Saving a beauty is only what a hero should do.”

Desna nodded and then placed Song Kai’s hand on her chest.

Song Kai froze, blushing. “Uh, what are you doing, Desna?”

“Oh, I heard that when you rescued me yesterday, you liked to pinch me here. So, to show my gratitude, I’m giving you an opportunity,” Desna said seriously.

Song Kai quickly withdrew his hand, his face red as he pointed at Danlina. “You liar! You promised not to tell Desna!”

Both Danlina and Desna burst into laughter.

...

During the day, Danlina and Desna took Song Kai on a tour around Assam State and bought some gifts.

At night, Song Kai boarded a plane, leaving the United States.

This trip made Song Kai realize that mysterious, powerful beings didn’t exist only within China; many also roamed abroad.

That Sacred Mountain Island—thinking back, perhaps it was itself an unknown creature.

If such a creature could be slain, and one could consume its flesh and drink its blood, surely one’s strength would increase rapidly. But for now, there was no need to dwell on that. It was already fortunate that the monster hadn't devoured him and Danlina yesterday.

Song Kai took out the black silkworm cocoon and examined it carefully. What on earth was this thing?

He pondered for a while but could not figure it out. Eventually, he stopped trying. Holding the black cocoon, he sat on the plane and began circulating his Nine Thunder internal energy, absorbing the spiritual energy from the cocoon.

Now, Song Kai was truly just one step away from reaching the Second Thunder Pill Refinement realm!

Once he reached that stage, ordinary opponents would no longer be a concern.

If he could successfully open his dantian, he would be able to store all his Nine Thunder internal energy there. This would provide a continuous flow of energy throughout his body, making him almost superhuman.

After cultivating for a while, suddenly, the cocoon in his palm cracked open with a sharp snap.

Startled, Song Kai raised his hand to look.

The spiritual energy from the black cocoon had been completely absorbed by him, turning it into a pale gray shell. Now that the shell had cracked, a small maggot-like worm emerged inside.

The little worm wriggled twice.

“Ugh, how disgusting!”

Song Kai immediately crushed it and threw it into the trash.

There was another black cocoon, which had fallen when the cult leader died.

Song Kai did not absorb it immediately but kept it aside.

The plane landed at Shanghai International Airport shortly after 4 a.m.

Song Kai then took a high-speed train for over three hours back to Tengyun City and entered his home.

Opening the door, he saw Hongying Wu practicing yoga in the living room.

She wasn’t wearing yoga clothes but a nightgown, performing the downward dog pose, her rear raised high.

Song Kai walked over.

The nightgown no longer concealed Hongying’s rear.

He glanced once, then again, realizing she wasn’t wearing any underwear beneath the nightgown.

“Damn…”

Song Kai felt his eyes go straight.

From this angle, he could see everything clearly.

In the past, when fighting Hongying, she had always worn yoga clothes.

But now, there was nothing—his line of sight was unobstructed.

The impact of this sight was so overwhelming that Song Kai was frozen in place, holding his breath.

Hongying initially didn’t notice.

But soon, she realized something was off. She suddenly remembered she was wearing a short nightgown.

“Bang!”

Hongying jumped up and kicked Song Kai hard in the ribs.

Song Kai was still dazed; the kick sent him flying backward onto the sofa.

“Tang Ying!”

Hongying shouted, “Can we kick this guy out? We can’t live like this anymore!”

Tang Ying rubbed her eyes, opened her bedroom door, yawning. “What’s going on? Oh, Song Kai, you’re back. How was your trip to the States?”

“Pretty good, pretty good. Oh, I brought gifts for you all,” Song Kai said immediately.

“Really?!” Tang Ying became excited, then suddenly remembered something and turned to Hongying. “What did you just say? What’s wrong?”

Hongying pointed at Song Kai. “Tang Ying, I think we should kick this constantly lustful guy out. His hormones are way too high—typical pervert. I think either we kick him out or castrate him. What do you think?”

Tang Ying nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. But… Song Kai, what gifts did you bring me? Give me one, and give Hongying’s to me too. She clearly doesn’t want hers; she even wants to kick you out.”

Hongying saw Tang Ying’s betrayal and pursed her lips in silent frustration, then came over and said, “What did you bring? Hurry up and show us. If it’s good, I might consider forgiving you.”

Song Kai suddenly realized how easy it was to appease women.

He opened his bag. “This time, I didn’t buy anything for my girlfriend—all the gifts are for you two beautiful sisters! Look, genuine Britney brand underwear—breathable, loose, comfortable, makes you appear upright and even bigger. Yingzi Sister, I’m good to you. Also, Anna Sui perfume, bought at their headquarters—an absolute collector’s edition. Each of you gets one. Plus, I bought Yingzi Sister a newly developed natural nano-purified breast enhancement cream. Both my friends in the States swear it really works and has no side effects. Really, see? I’m so good to you. Don’t mind what happened earlier.”

Hongying gritted her teeth and suddenly grabbed Song Kai’s neck. “Bastard! I heard that—you’re saying I have a flat chest and mocking me, you pervert!”

“I’m not! I swear, I’m not!” Song Kai coughed. “If you don’t want it, fine, I’ll give it to my girlfriend.”

“Nonsense! I’ll keep it for now…” Hongying snatched the bottle, fearing Tang Ying might take it.

Tang Ying covered her mouth, laughing.

“Laugh all you want! If it doesn’t work, kick this pervert out immediately and let him rent his own place…” Hongying said, holding her gift contentedly as she returned to her bedroom.
