Chapter 740: Arrival from Beixing Island

Hundred Flowers Island, standing tall in the midst of the Southern Sea, seemed like a paradise on earth, hidden from the world like a guardian temple……

Among the three major powers of the Southern Sea, Hundred Flowers Island was undoubtedly the weakest. After all, it was entirely composed of women, so its influence naturally wasn’t too great. However, since the balance of power among the three factions had lasted for a hundred years, the other two sides had not dared to act rashly.

“You little brat, thinking about your sweetheart again, aren’t you?”

Baihua Island, standing in the South China Sea, is like a fairyland on earth, akin to a hidden sanctuary…

Among the three major powers in the South China Sea, Baihua Island is undoubtedly the weakest, as it is entirely composed of women, and thus its influence is naturally limited. However, due to the tripartite balance that has persisted for a century, the other two powers are reluctant to act rashly.

“Naughty girl, are you thinking about your sweetheart again?”

Due to their limited strength, Baihua Island did not linger long in the mysterious land. However, their journey was not without gains. At least, Huayue has now broken through to the innate realm, while Huayun is just one step away from the spiritual realm.

“Sister Yun, if you keep teasing me, I might just ignore you. If Master hears, there will be no end to the scolding!”

Sitting quietly in the room, Huayue couldn’t help but smile with a hint of reproach at the light voice behind her. Ever since returning from the mysterious land, her senior sister has been teasing her incessantly.

“Who’s teasing? Our Huayue is not a child anymore. It’s only natural for her heart to flutter!” Huayun said with a laugh, while a slender figure flashed through her mind.

“Will he come? It’s been so long, maybe he has already forgotten us!”

A blush crept onto Huayue’s cheek. She did not refute, as Huayun had said, she was no longer a child and knew that what she felt was affection…

“If he dares not to come, I will search the entire hidden martial world to find him!”

Huayun blurted out without realizing that her tone sounded like a woman catching her husband in an affair. Huayue’s eyes showed a trace of surprise; every time that man was mentioned, her senior sister’s expression became peculiar.

“Giggle, Sister Yun, don’t tell me you’ve fallen for him too. If Sister Yun joins me, I’m sure he would be swayed!”

With a light laugh, Huayue tilted her head, her charming demeanor evoking a sense of pity in Huayun. She wondered what was so special about that man to have captivated this girl so.

“Pah! You alone are enough to like him. I have no interest in your sweetheart!”

For just a moment, Huayun considered the possibility of what Huayue had said, but quickly dismissed it. She and Xiao Yufan were unlikely to have any connection. Sometimes, fate plays cruel tricks.

“Then why does Sister Yun blush every time he’s mentioned?”

“Naughty girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll let all the sisters know you have a sweetheart!” Huayun shot a reproachful glance at Huayue, her tone threatening.

“Fine, I won’t say anything. No need to be so harsh. I only believe what I see!”

Sticking out her tongue, Huayue laughed. She didn’t mind at all if her senior sister liked her sweetheart, as she was still inexperienced in the ways of the world…

“People of Baihua Island, Beixing Island has come to seek justice. If no one shows up after the count of three, we will attack!”

Just as Huayun was about to speak, a booming voice echoed throughout Baihua Island. Even with her half-step into the spiritual realm, she felt a momentary daze. The people of Beixing Island actually dared to invade Baihua Island.

“Seek justice? The audacity of Beixing Island to speak so boldly is quite surprising!”

Following the voice, an angry shout rose from Baihua Island, and a figure soared into the sky, confronting several people through the island’s protective barrier.

Huayun and Huayue also stepped out of the house, their eyes filled with anger. In the mysterious land, Beixing Island had secretly caused trouble, and now they dared to come here, truly shameless.

“In the mysterious land, it was our people from Beixing Island who first found the Heavenly Burial Flower. Your Baihua Island took it first. Shouldn’t you compensate us?”

“Compensate? Your Beixing Island plotted against our Baihua Island. We haven’t settled that account yet, and you dare to turn the tables?”

The beautiful woman in the sky glanced at the many powerful figures from Beixing Island, her eyes twitching slightly. It seemed they had come prepared, and this was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

“Haha, I only believe what my people say. If Baihua Island doesn’t give us an explanation, today will be the day Baihua Island is destroyed!”

“Such big words. Let’s see how Beixing Island plans to destroy our Baihua Island!”

The beautiful woman could sense that Beixing Island was here to pick a fight. Even if Baihua Island’s strength was lacking, they would never allow others to trample over them. With a clash of words, the atmosphere instantly tensed, and both sides prepared for battle…

“Yun Sister, if you tease me again, believe me, I won’t talk to you anymore! If Master hears about it, we’ll definitely be scolded again!”

Sitting quietly inside the room, Hua Yue heard the light, playful voice from behind and couldn’t help but form a slightly pouting smile on her lips. Ever since returning from the mysterious place, her senior apprentice sister had constantly been teasing her.

“Teasing? Our little Hua Yue has grown up. It’s only natural for her heart to bloom with feelings of love!” Hua Yun said with a smile, while an image of a slender figure surfaced in her mind.

“Will he come? So much time has passed—maybe he’s already forgotten us!”

A faint blush quietly appeared on her cheek, but Hua Yue didn’t deny it. As Hua Yun had said, she was no longer young, and she understood what this feeling was—love……

“If he dares not to come, I will search the entire hidden martial cultivation world until I find him!”

Hua Yun blurted out instinctively, completely unaware that her tone sounded just like a jealous wife who had caught her husband cheating. Hua Yue’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, noticing that every time that man was mentioned, her senior sister’s expression always turned strange.

“Giggle, Sister Yun, could it be that you’ve fallen for him too? If you joined me, I’m sure he’d fall for us eventually!”

Hua Yue tilted her head with a soft laugh, her cute expression stirring a surge of tenderness in Hua Yun’s heart. She really couldn’t understand—what was so special about that man that could make this girl so infatuated?

“Pfft, pfft, pfft! One of you loving him is more than enough! I’m definitely not interested in your sweetheart at all!”

For a brief moment, Hua Yun even considered the possibility of what Hua Yue had said, but she quickly dismissed the thought. She and Xiao Yufan should never cross paths, right? Sometimes, fate really did play cruel tricks on people.

“Then why do you always blush whenever he’s mentioned, Sister Yun?”

“You little monster! If you keep talking nonsense, do you want me to let all the sisters know you have a sweetheart?”

Hua Yun gave Hua Yue a coy glare, threateningly.

“Fine, fine! I won’t say anything anymore! Why be so fierce? Anyway, I only believe what I see with my own eyes!”

Sticking out her tongue playfully, Hua Yue laughed. She didn’t mind at all the idea of her senior sister liking her beloved, since she herself was still quite inexperienced in the ways of the world……

“People of Hundred Flowers Island! The Northern Star Island has come to demand an explanation! If no one appears within three counts, we will launch an attack!”

Just as Hua Yun was about to speak, a loud voice suddenly echoed throughout Hundred Flowers Island. Even with her cultivation level at the edge of Spirit Connection, Hua Yun felt her mind momentarily waver. The people from Northern Star Island had actually dared to come here!

“An explanation? The Northern Star Island dares to speak so boldly? That truly surprises me!”

Following the echo of that voice, another furious voice rose from within Hundred Flowers Island. A figure immediately soared into the air, crossing the island’s barrier to confront several figures in midair.

Hua Yun and Hua Yue stepped out from the room as well, but both of their eyes carried a trace of anger. The Northern Star Island had secretly sabotaged them at the mysterious land, and now they had the audacity to come knocking—truly shameless.

“At the mysterious land, it was our Northern Star Island that first discovered the Heaven-Burial Flower. You Hundred Flowers Island snatched it first—shouldn’t you offer us some compensation?”

“Compensation? Your Northern Star Island schemed against us, and we haven’t even settled that score yet. How dare you turn the tables and accuse us?”

The beautiful woman in midair swept her gaze over the many experts from Northern Star Island, her eyes narrowing sharply. It seemed this time, they had come prepared—this matter wouldn’t be as simple as it appeared on the surface.

“Hehe, I only believe what my people say. If Hundred Flowers Island refuses to give us an explanation today, then today shall be the day of your destruction!”

“What a bold claim! I’d like to see exactly how the Northern Star Island plans to destroy us!”

The senior woman could sense that Northern Star Island had come looking for trouble. Even though their strength was inferior, she would never allow anyone to trample over them. With tempers flaring, the atmosphere instantly turned tense, and soon enough, both sides clashed into battle……
