Chapter 1918 - 1918: 1917 Going to the Southern Island

"What is destined by the heavens will happen sooner or later, and our meeting is no exception."

Tang Rao makes a dazzling entrance, the person Rao Linger fears most is Tang Rao, yet at the same time, Tang Rao is the one she most looks forward to seeing.

"Hello, Young Master."

Upon seeing Tang Rao, she immediately kneels on the ground to greet him, which means Rao Linger remembers everything.

"Sis, you're incredibly fast, much faster than I imagined."

Tang Rao gives Tang Qingqing a thumbs up, unable to conceal the pride and joy in her eyes.

"As long as I'm faster than you imagined, it's good that you don't dislike me. Remember what you owe me."

Tang Qingqing isn't a philanthropist; she has her own motives for everything she does.

"Got it, this is the first installment. You'll receive the rest gradually. I have limited time, so I won't accompany you, Sis."

Tang Qingqing helps Rao Linger up, unwilling to let this adorable little one keep kneeling. Since they've acknowledged each other, they're already family, so why distinguish between themselves?

"Brother, you're going too far. Doing too many ungrateful things will bring retribution."

Tang Qingqing isn't cursing Tang Rao; she just can't stand how he disliked others before, yet after changing his mind, he views Rao Linger like a fairy.

"No, heaven itself can't even handle its affairs now. Even if I do something unscrupulous, it can't manage me."

Tang Rao's courage has grown. He used to fear Heavenly Dao, but ever since he learned his true identity, he hasn't feared Heavenly Dao anymore.

He once couldn't even imagine confronting Heavenly Dao. Would Heavenly Dao crush Tang Rao directly? But as he grew bolder, Tang Rao occasionally pondered what moves Heavenly Dao would make and how many rounds he could face with them.

Having thought of many strategies, he looks forward to the day he faces off with Heavenly Dao more than ever before.

"Brother, even though I'm your sister, I know you're bold, but the principle that trouble comes from the mouth is something I still hope you understand."

Heavenly Dao hasn't made a move against Tang Rao, not because Tang Rao is formidable, but simply because his abilities don't catch Heavenly Dao's attention. He wonders why Heavenly Dao doesn't even bother with such a small creature like Tang Rao.

"Sis, I have some words for them. If you really want to hear sweet-nothings, I can introduce you to some handsome, eloquent and skilled men. Interested?"

Knowing full well that Tang Qingqing has never been in a relationship, Tang Rao still jokes about it. Every word he says suggests that this mischievous fellow is at it again.

"You keep them for yourself. I'm not at all interested in those people you mentioned."

Tang Qingqing prefers to find her own match. Since when did her happiness become a concern for a younger brother?

"What do you mean, not interested at all? You're looking down on me, your brother. The excellent men around me outnumber those on Central Island. Their skills may not match yours, but their looks certainly surpass others. Do you value skill or appearance? You must ponder that yourself."

Tang Rao tries to 'strike while the iron is hot, reason and persuade,' hoping to convince Tang Qingqing to find someone suitable within Kao Shan Sect, but Tang Qingqing doesn't accept his advice.

Someone who doesn't appreciate service stands before him, and Tang Qingqing doesn't qualify to stand in front of Tang Rao.

"Out, out; our values and perspectives on life are entirely different. You go out first and don't disturb us unless you wish to have in-depth communication with our Kao Shan Sect's grass and Cha Xiangzi; otherwise, don't interrupt our private conversation anymore."

A combination of Tang Qingqing and Cha Xiangzi?

Tang Qingqing thinks Tang Rao is talking nonsense, but Tang Rao genuinely believes they are a perfect match.

"I'm going out."

Tang Qingqing's choice to leave isn't surprising; she certainly won't wait for Tang Rao to continue joking around.

Once Tang Qingqing leaves, the remaining ones are sisters who often come and go. Each sister bears her own heavy thoughts, unsure of what significant move Tang Rao might make now that he's kept them.

"Tang Rao, all four sisters are here. Say what you want, we'll listen, and follow your instructions."

Chen Jingyi acts as the backbone among the four because she brought them all together, and they obey her words without question.

"Four. My memory isn't great. Han Bing, Qin Se, Bei Lin, Linger, leaving one from Southern Island. Do you have any good plans?"

In Tang Rao's memory, Southern Island doesn't have much to recall. Among the five women, the other four are found, only one from the South remains. The South one must be the daughter of the Island Master from Southern Island?

"Of course, we go to Southern Island to look for her."

"People won't suddenly appear in front of you. How would you know if she's there without searching?"

The four have similar views as Tang Rao and support his perspective.

Actually, Tang Rao also wishes not to sit around waiting in Northern Island, wondering what if Southern Barb never comes to Northern Island her whole life?

"I'm not familiar with Southern Island. You guys are more familiar with it. If I take you there, what are the chances of finding her?"

Tang Rao himself wants to search, but a man venturing alone onto Southern Island to inquire about a woman might draw too much attention. Women asking after women is at least less abrupt.

"We'll definitely find her."

They haven't told Tang Rao, but among the five, there's always a mysterious connection. As long as four are present, the fifth connection will soon be revealed.

Confidence leads to clear declarations.

"What are we waiting for? Come with me to find the fifth person, and my mother can be saved."

Tang Rao casually pulls two, noticing two left behind, promptly urging them to hurry.

He's truly more excited about finding someone than marrying a new bride.

"Wait a minute, Southern Island is so barren. Are you really not planning to prepare anything for the trip?"

Wang Han has been to Southern Island and understands the lifestyle there the most, reminding Tang Rao to make his stay slightly better.

"What else do we need? I have everything with me. You don't have to worry about all eating, drinking, toileting, and sleeping needs."

Tang Rao always goes big. His ladies follow him wherever he goes; would he not intend to treat them lavishly?

"Still, we need to wait for the passage to open before we can go. Look at the time; if you want to go, you'll have to wait until tomorrow when the sun rises."

With the sun down and passages sealed, they can't enter. After listening, Tang Rao agrees to go the next day.

The Southern Island and Northern Island face each other, separated by a Beast Sea.

What does the Beast Sea mean? Without strong abilities, no one can cross it.
