Chapter 1266 - Star Picking Corner



Chapter 1266: Star Picking Corner

“I am Qi Changsheng! What do you need, Mr. Chen? Just say the word! Even if you ask for my life, I won’t hesitate to surrender it to you!”

After wiping away the bloodstains off his face, one could tell that he was about 40. However, that hoarse, raspy voice sounded coarse and weathered, like it belonged to an elderly.

Most of their voice cords were damaged after screaming in agony while being subjected to inhumane torture.

Chen Xiaobei had freed them from this hellhole of misery.

Qi Changsheng meant every word when he said that he was willing to give up his life for Chen Xiaobei.

“I understand your voracity, and I will do everything in power to protect those who follow me willingly! I will do my best to not only keep you from death but also from any injuries!” Chen Xiaobei expressed his sentiments.

The people he recruited were skilled assets, not dispensable cannon-fodder.

The men called out in unison with adoration, “Mr. Chen is benevolent and righteous! We will follow you until the day we die!”

Of course, Chen Xiaobei would never allow them to sacrifice their lives, but if things did really get ugly, all these men would not hesitate to die for Chen Xiaobei!

“Fang Zi’er told me that Mr. Qi is the Yin family’s private military advisor. You must have extensive understanding of the situation on this island?” Chen Xiaobei said. “I want to save a friend of mine. She’s a very beautiful woman, and is probably being threatened by Yin Shaohua! Where can I find her?”

“I’ve been locked up here for three years. There’s a chance that things might have changed,” said Qi Changsheng. “But if nothing has changed, she should appear just after dinner. Whenever Yin Shaohua has a new flame, he would bring them to the top floor of the Star Picking Corner!”

”Star Picking Corner?”

Chen Xiaobei frowned.

“The Star Picking Corner is a semi-restricted area that only Yin Shaohua and the faction leaders have access to! When night falls, you can see beautiful stars sprinkled across the heavens from the rooftop. Most importantly, that place is completely free of disturbance!” Qi Changsheng’s face darkened. “There, Yin Shaohua has taken advantage of more than a hundred women, including my younger sister! Because of him, my sister took her own life! I went to talk to the faction leader but he threw me into prison! I will not rest until I have taken my revenge!”

“A barbarian son, a monster of a father!” Chen Xiaobei growled. “Don’t worry. If I find Yin Shaohua there, I will make sure he pays!”

Like the Chinese proverb said, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam must also be crooked! The apple doesn’t fall fat from the tree and Yin Shaohua was the way he was, devious and corrupt, because he had his faction-leader father backing him up.

It was now clear from the Qi Changsheng case, that the people who had been locked up here were all victims of the Yins’ malicious persecution.

Now that Chen Xiaobei had accepted this group of men as his own, he had to restore justice for them.

“Mr. Chen! Bring me with you!” Another man stood up. “I am Xia Hanjiang! I can summon some evil spirits to look for him!’

This was the genius shaman that Fang Zi’er had told him about.

“Alright! You can come with me!” Chen Xiaobei nodded.

Chen Xiaobei was a pretty incredible shaman himself, and could summon all evil spirits within a one mile radius by breathing into the Spirit Summoning Talisman. But since there was someone willing to work for him, he was more than happy to save up the talisman.

“Mr. Chen! I want to come with too!” A third person stood up and said, “I am Xiahou Linyuan! 80,000 combat power! Even though I’m not as good as Mr. Chen, I can open the way for you!”

“You better don’t come with us.” Chen Xiaobei shook his head. “Stay here and take care of everyone. If anyone from Penglai comes in, kill them!”

Xiahou Linyuan replied fervently, “Yes, Mr. Chen! Don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, I will protect everyone here! No harm will come to them!”

“Xiahou! That’s not right! Even though we are not as strong as you are, we won’t just sit around and do nothing! If we are all armed with weapons, we can also teach those Penglai bastards a good lesson!”

The men around murmured in agreement.

There were at least eight people with Celestial cultivation elites and a dozen with True Nirvana cultivation. Truth be told, they were far more powerful than the ordinary Penglai disciples.

“Weapons! Good idea! I have a lot of them with me!”

Chen Xiaobei took out all kinds of swords, spears, and armor from the Infinite Space Ring. They were all taken from the treasuries he pilfered earlier.

Those that came from the Zhuang Family’s treasury were especially sharp and durable; most of them hammered by renowned blacksmiths. Some of them were even collectables!

“My goodness! Mr. Chen really is a godsend!”

The men gasped when they saw the mountain of weapons.

“Alright! There’s still some medicinal soup left in the cauldron. Should you feel unwell, help yourself to them! Those who have fully recovered will guard the prison with Xiahou Linyuan!” Chen Xiaobei instructed. “Mr. Qi, Mr. Xia, let’s move!”

“Yes!”

“My Mr. Chen is so so so so awesome!” Fang Zi’er said as he watched Chen Xiaobei leave. He was now part of the Chen Xiaobei fan group.

Star Picking Corner.

On the highest level of the Star Picking Corner was a large viewing deck. It was the highest point of Penglai Island. Standing up there in its complete darkness, the stars looked so near and bright, it felt like you could reach out and pick a star off the sky; hence the name Star Picking Corner.

The serenity of the night, a couple standing on the deck, drinking in the starlight. This was supposed to be a most romantic moment. But the expression on the woman’s face was one of distress. It was obvious that she wasn’t comfortable and did not want to be there.

“Xuanxin! You already promised me! You said that you will give your heart and body to me! But the look on your face tells me that you’re going to back out!” Yin Shaohua said.

“I… I’m not…It’s just…” Liu Xuanxin looked confused and uncomfortable.

“Alright, you don’t have to explain!” Yin Shaohua said coldly. “I don’t like to force myself on people. If you really can’t serve me fervently, then I might as well find myself a blow-up doll! Go back to your room and rest!”

“Re… Really?”

Liu Xuanxin quivered with relief. She did not think that it would so easy for her to get off the hook.

But the very next second, she discovered that she was too naïve.

“You can go, but I’m afraid Fang Zi’er and that Chen guy won’t be able to enjoy their comfortable confinement that much!” Yin Shaohua threatened.
