Chapter 1013: Kicked Flying
Opportunity Island was about a thousand nautical miles from here.
Departing from Tianhe City, they arrived at the dock, where a spatial teleportation passage over the sea was located.
Once entering this sea teleportation passage, it meant officially leaving the jurisdiction of the safe zone.
Even the notice posted at the dock clearly stated: Opportunity Island is currently extremely dangerous. Tourists, please travel with utmost caution.
At the same time…
Below the notice board were various news reports and photos of recent victims.
And yet…
You still couldn't stop certain tourists with a death wish.
These tourists never listened to warnings.
They always felt others were trying to restrict their personal freedom.
Moreover…
The bodyguards they brought gave them immense confidence and courage.
As if having bodyguards meant danger wouldn't touch them.
Take now, for example…
Boarding the same teleportation array as Ling Zhan, Yun Man, and the others was a group of richly dressed young nobles, clearly from elite families.
They were only Level 120.
Their bodyguards ranged from Level 150 to 170.
By most standards,
this lineup could walk sideways anywhere outside the Holy Continent.
Unless a real powerhouse harbored ill intent, these bodyguards could easily handle things.
At this moment,
these people were chattering excitedly.
They all wanted to see the legendary domain gate.
To see what it really looked like.
Meanwhile, Ling Zhan standing nearby attracted quite a few of the noble girls' gazes.
"So handsome..."
"Yeah, this guy is really handsome!"
"He looks familiar... but I can only see his profile, I'm not sure."
"Just from his aura alone, you can tell he's no ordinary guy."
"Sis, go get his contact! Be bold—maybe there's a story waiting for you two!"
"I want to, but he feels so cold... I think I'd get rejected. That'd be so embarrassing... better not."
"..."
These naive noble ladies all found this silhouette and profile familiar.
They felt like they must've seen him before.
But they couldn't recall where.
Meanwhile, the noble young men had their eyes on Yun Man, Meng Shuang, and Chang Yue.
Yun Man's cool, valiant presence.
Meng Shuang's cute and delicate charm.
Chang Yue's gentle and elegant beauty.
All of it captivated these picky rich heirs.
"Damn!"
"These three are top-tier beauties—I want them all..."
"Way prettier than any woman I've ever been with!"
"Should we go ask for their contact info?"
"Let's go, let's go!"
Compared to the shy, hesitant ladies,
these rich young men were clearly much more confident.
Why?
The joy of the rich is something ordinary folks can't comprehend.
Especially…
these noble heirs came from various foreign empires.
Where slavery was still legal.
That legalized slavery made it much easier for them to "purchase goods."
Right now,
they dared walk up so confidently because they were used to buying anything with money.
"Hey beauties, mind if we make friends?"
At this moment, a decently good-looking rich heir stepped forward—he was from the Leopardkin race.
With healthy bronze skin and striking features, along with his confident presence, he looked just like those athletic dark-skinned hotties from anime.
This kind of guy was very popular among girls.
Healthy, cheerful, and handsome.
Like a male protagonist straight out of an anime.
He usually didn't even need to spend money—just small talk and he'd be spending the night with plenty of girls.
Girls even considered sleeping with a dark-skinned hottie like him a happy experience.
Totally consensual.
Under such circumstances,
the dark-skinned hottie came up to strike a conversation.
He approached Chang Yue.
The moment he saw this gentle and intellectual girl, he was instantly drawn to her big-sister-like vibe.
Plus, she had the most outstanding figure.
Just looking at her got his blood pumping.
However…
What none of the noble heirs expected was…
The previously smiling gentle beauty's face turned cold the moment they came near.
In the blink of an eye…
Her expression turned icy and hostile.
And then…
She spat out one word at the overconfident dark-skinned guy:
"Scram!!"
That dark-skinned heir swore to the heavens—he'd chased so many girls, but this was the first time someone didn't even try to save his face.
Still, he wasn't angry.
He even wanted to laugh.
Why?
Because he'd met cold girls like this before.
But under his relentless charm, they always ended up purring like kittens in his arms.
And…
this gentle beauty suddenly showing such an icy attitude? That gap made him even more fired up.
"So she's a tsundere..."
The dark-skinned guy smiled slightly and thought to himself.
The next moment, he looked apologetically at Chang Yue and said, "Sorry, I was a bit abrupt. It's just that you're so beautiful, I couldn't help but want to get to know you. Since I've upset you, let me apologize—maybe treat you to a meal?"
"To show I'm sincere, you can pick any hotel in Tianhe City."
This was classic retreat-to-advance strategy.
Facing a tsundere beauty, the dark-skinned heir believed he had plenty of experience.
Girls like this just needed you to give them lots of face.
Once they felt respected, they'd warm up to you.
At the same time…
He deliberately emphasized that any hotel in Tianhe City was fine.
A subtle way to flaunt his wealth.
Prices in Tianhe City were sky-high lately.
A top-tier hotel meal could easily cost hundreds of thousands of Sacred Crystals.
Normal Professionals couldn't afford it.
But this dark-skinned heir could.
Normally, even the coldest tsundere beauty would accept a handsome, rich guy's apology when offered with such courtesy.
However…
He was wrong.
All the other noble heirs were wrong too.
Because Chang Yue did something that left everyone completely stunned.
Boom!!
She raised her long, jade-like leg and kicked the dark-skinned guy square in the gut!
Crash!!
The terrifying force sent the guy flying hundreds of meters away!
He slammed into a distant wall so hard that the specially reinforced structure crumbled to the ground!
While everyone stared in shock,
Chang Yue calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped her shoe, as if the kick had dirtied it.
"Hehe, Sister Chang Yue already told him to scram. He didn't, so he must've thought she was all soft and nice, huh?"
At this moment, Meng Shuang giggled.
