Douluo Dalu: Volume 31: Ashore on Seagod Island

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Chapter 214: Master, Don’t Want Sexual Services?

  Ji Xiang was currently shouldering an important mission. He took the initiative to ask to help Tang San feed all the Shrek Seven Devils. Tang San held them up, he fed them, letting everyone eat a bowl of gruel. Just like when he brought back Tang San before, everyone still weren’t suited to eating too much.

  After everyone finished eating, Tang San also ate a bit. Xiao Wu slept in the only bed in the room. Tang San walked over to Purple Pearl.

  “Want to eat something? I’ll release you temporarily, but please keep your mouth in order. I’m Tang San, you can call me by my name. If you agree, blink once.”

  Hearing Tang San’s words, Purple Pearl blinked once as expected.

  Tang San didn’t touch Purple Pearl, she was after all a woman. Blue Silver Emperor stretched out, opening Purple Pearl’s numbing and muting acupoints.

  Acupoints unblocked, Purple Pearl’s body softened, almost falling to the ground. Pushing herself up, she glared hatefully at Tang San,

  “Do you know sorcery?”

  Tang San smiled faintly, saying:

  “You should understand that this is a kind of skill.”

  Purple Pearl snorted coldly, and didn’t keep speaking, instead walking over to the remaining food with large steps. Heedless of the food already being cold, she ate with large gulps. Her table manners were unsightly, comparable to Ma Hongjun before. She didn’t even seem like a woman. Tang San frowned as he watched.

  In just a short while, Purple Pearl finished the food like wind scattering clouds. Without even glancing at Tang San, she stalked back to sit in her corner, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

  The corners of Tang San’s mouth revealed a trace of a smile. He could tell that this captain really was very depressed. He didn’t say anything either, his gaze slightly sweeping outside, and a few pirates sticking their heads out quickly hid. He seemed like he didn’t see anything, sitting cross legged in the center of the room with his eyes closed to cultivate.

  The seabreeze brushed the trees on the island, generating rustling sounds. Winter was already approaching, and there were few leaves in the forest. Only, the temperature at sea was a bit higher than inland, and the ocean climate meant it wasn’t too cold here.

  The night gradually deepened. Tang San quietly cultivated, and the Shrek Six Devils were all deep asleep. This room lacking a wall on one side seemed very quiet.

  Just at this moment, leaning in the corner, Purple Pearl quietly opened her eyes. Looking at Tang San, her eyes expressed ferocity, and she pulled a grimace in his direction. Looking all around, she quietly shifted her body. She didn’t move far, only one meter or so, where there was a table. Purple Pearl directly crawled under the table, stretching her hand to softly push under the table. The floor beneath the table immediately flipped over, and she instantly disappeared. The whole process unexpectedly didn’t cause any noise.

  “No need to watch. Keep cultivating.”

  A few seconds after Purple Pearl disappeared, Tang San’s faint voice echoed.

  Ji Xiang opened his eyes, looking puzzled at Tang San,

  “Master, you let her leave on purpose?”

  Tang San smiled calmly, saying:

  “Do you believe she could leave otherwise? Very soon she will be able to feel her strength recover. In half an hour, she will definitely bring a large number of pirates to storm this place. Do you believe it?”

  Ji Xiang looked at Tang San, his eyes filled with doubt.

  Tang San smiled:

  “I only want to tell her that, no matter what she does, there’s basically no way for her to constitute a threat to me. I let her go for this reason. It will take at least five days for my comrades to heal. I don’t want to be on guard against these pirates all day long, so it would be better to convince them once.”

  Ji Xiang seemed to understand somewhat, blinking, he asked Tang San:

  “Master, your sixth spirit ring really is of the hundred thousand year level?”

  Tang San’s brows wrinkled, but he still nodded softly,

  “Later master will let you see another type of our sect’s secret skills. Your spirit is a Needle, it’s quite suited to this kind of skill.”

  Just as Tang San said, in less than half an hour, the outside was already growing noisy. Purple Pearl’s arrogant voice resounded,

  “Surround it, don’t let even a housefly get out. Fucker, that bastard, if I don’t make him drink two basins of foot bath water, he won’t know how fearsome Purple Pearl is!”

  Hearing Purple Pearl’s voice, Tang San couldn’t help smiling, but he remained as motionless as a mountain. Ji Xiang always sat to the side watching Tang San. Tang San’s calm gave people a sense of relief, as if he didn’t need to have the slightest concern about whatever was happening outside. Tang San seemed like a solid rampart that could protect them all.

  “Tang San, you son of a bitch, get out her. Fuck, in all my years I’ve never been so humiliated. I want to see how you alone will face thousands of us. I won’t push you, just drink two basins of my foot washing water and I’ll let you go. Of course, that little girl has to stay to be my wife.”

  By now, Purple Pearl’s house was already surrounded by densely packed pirates, torches held high for illumination, leaving the village brightly lit. Practically all the spirit masters were concentrated in the inner circle, each and every one cautiously watching the wooden house.

  That old pirate who talked to Tang San in daytime now stood next to Purple Pearl, talking to her in a low voice:

  “Captain, that person isn’t easy to deal with. I think we should let it be. Anyway, they’ll just rest here and then leave. Since you’ve already escaped, as long as they don’t do anything to jeopardize us Purple Pearl pirates, it’s best not to antagonize them.”

  “Bullshit.”

  Because of Purple Pearl’s anger, her extremely ample chest heaved forcefully,

  “When have I ever been this angry, I said I’d have him drink two basins of foot washing water, so I’ll definitely have him drink it. Tang San, you son of a bitch, get the fuck out here.”

  Just at this moment, a graceful voice disseminated from the house,

  “Purple Pearl, have you heard that expression? The sins of Heaven can be forgiven, the sins of oneself, cannot.”

  Purple Pearl stared blankly a moment,

  “At a fucking time like this, and you’re still playing with words. Kid, you listen to me. I won’t bother your companions, but I’ll have you account for what you did today. There’s thousands of us here, if each of us spits once, we could drown you.”

  Distantly, she could see the circumstances in the room through the broken wall. Tang San all along sat in the same place, without a bit of alarm over her presence outside, to the extent that he even sat there with his eyes closed. Even though she wouldn’t admit it herself, Tang San’s manner secretly made even her enchanted.

  The pirates closed in step by step, pushing in towards the wooden house. But Tang San’s display during the day still had a tremendous awing effect, and even though they constantly pushed forward, they didn’t dare rush. The stronger the spirit master, the better they understood the strength Tang San displayed when he contained Purple Pearl. Especially that hundred thousand year spirit ring had an enormous force of impact to these pirate spirit masters. Who knew how frightful the abilities of that sixth spirit ability was?

  Slowly getting up, Tang San patted Ji Xiang’s shoulder,

  “Do your best to experience my skills. No need to try to see it clearly, for this consummate skill you first of all need to view the general situation. As for everything else, it can all be cultivated after hand.”

  Faint light flickered, and Tang San’s face displayed a faint smile. His comrades were all well, and moreover gathered together again, so by now his mood had already completely recovered to normal, he naturally didn’t have any killing intent towards the pirates outside.

  The moment Tang
San appeared in the doorway, all the pirates subconsciously halted, each and everyone nervously watching at Tang San. The spirit master pirates all released their spirits without a moment of hesitation, but they were still showing signs of trembling with fear.

  As captain, Purple Pearl immediately discovered the issue with her subordinates, and angrily said:

  “You cowards, we have more than two hundred spirit masters, he’s alone. If we each throw out one spirit ability, we can still dismember that kid’s corpse in ten thousand pieces. What are you afraid of?”

  Tang San smiled calmly, saying:

  “Captain Purple Pearl. How about we make a bet?”

  Purple Pearl looked distracted a moment,

  “Bet? Kid, you like betting too?”

  Hearing this word, Purple Pearl’s eyes were radiant. Ordinarily, gambling could be called the greatest pleasure of pirates. Even though both sides were currently hostile, Tang San’s mention of betting was still attractive enough.

  Tang San hadn’t thought Purple Pearl would react like this, but this was even better for his plans,

  “Presumably you aren’t quite convinced of my capturing you today.”

  Purple Pearl furiously said:

  “What dogfart capturing? That was a sneak attack, if not for that, could you have caught me?”

  Tang San didn’t pay any attention to her fury,

  “Since it’s like that, if we fight one on one, are you sure of beating me?”

  Purple Pearl was immediately at a loss, but argued strenuously:

  “Why would I fight you one on one? This is my domain. As long as I give the order, you will be torn to pieces alive.”

  Tang San said:

  “Then we’ll bet. For the time of one stick of incense, I won’t use any spirit abilities, and you can have any comrades help you. In this time, I will capture you again, and moreover return to the house. If I succeed, it’s my win. If I can’t catch you, it’s my loss.”

  Purple Pearl stared blankly a moment, then entered a state of anger close to berserk,

  “Son of a bitch, are you dreaming? You want to catch me without using spirit abilities? Come on, I’ll bet with you. What are we betting?”

  Tang San said:

  “If I win, you will recognize me as your master, and listen to any of my orders. If I lose, you assign the punishment.”

  Purple Pearl sized up Tang San a few times. Being capable of becoming the ruler of a gang, she absolutely wasn’t an impulsive person. Even if her temper was a bit violent, at her core she was meticulous. But she wouldn’t believe that Tang San could catch her among an army of ten thousand without really using spirit abilities.

  “Fine, we’ll bet on it. If you lose, I won’t bother you. Drink two basins of my foot washing water, and crawl under my legs. Then I’ll let you go.”

  While speaking, she gracelessly raised her left leg, pointing underneath.

  Tang San’s expression didn’t change,

  “Wait until you defeat me.”

  Tang san flicked his wrist while speaking, already holding a stock of incense. Fingers twirling, the stick flew out, passing through a pirate’s torch, then travelling in an arc and lightly pinning onto the wall of a wooden house.

  This trick immediately awed the heartily laughing pirates. Letting a stick of incense ignite by passing through a fire wasn’t difficult, the difficult part lay in making it fly in an arc, and moreover making it stick on the wall with its weak body. What kind of clever soft force could achieve this?

  When Ji Xiang inside the house saw this move his eyes immediately brightened, vaguely already understanding what secret skill Tang San wanted to teach him.

  “The incense is already burning. Purple Pearl, I will begin.”

  Tang San wasn’t anxious to start, instead first warning Purple Pearl. This time he would convince her in heart and by word.

  Purple Pearl saw that calm gaze in Tang San’s eyes, without any emotion, and secretly shivered in her heart. At the same time as she released her spirit, she slid, slipping into the crowd. I can’t defeat you, but don’t tell me I can’t hide? Besides, you’re not using your spirit. If all I have to do is dodge and not get caught, then how will you make me recognize you as master? With such thoughts, the bet between Purple Pearl and Tang San officially began.

  Purple Pearl’s subordinates were all quite clever. Seeing the captain swiftly retreat, the pirates immediately formed a human wall. Tang San never said they couldn’t attack, so these pirates naturally didn’t hesitate to launch their own spirit abilities. Not looking for achievements, just avoiding mistakes. Each and every one naturally started their defensive abilities, hoping to block Tang San. Not attacking was the intelligent choice, because they didn’t want to infuriate Tang San. Even the captain couldn’t defeat this kid, let alone these universally twenty or thirty ranked spirit masters.

  Unfortunately, Tang San basically had no intention of relying on movement to catch Purple Pearl. Both his hands brushed the Twenty Four Moonlit Bridges at his waist, a sparkling radiance already floating in the air. In the firelight, those crystalline lights immediately flew up, rushing into the pirate group with sharp whistling sounds.

  This was the Tang Sect hidden weapons technique Goddess Scattering Flowers.

  Goddess Scattering Flowers was in itself a fairly common technique among Tang Sect hidden weapons, but it was a foundation for a large number of hidden weapons techniques, like Tang Sect’s fourth ranked Thousand And One Nights, which was based on Goddess Scattering Flowers. Having been immersed in hidden weapons for so many years, Tang San was naturally so familiar with this Goddess Scattering Flowers technique that he couldn’t be more familiar. All the hidden weapons he threw were needle types, and each needle scattered as if it had grown eyes. In one move Tang San used no less than fifty silver needles.

  In practically the blink of an eye, the pirates in front of him collapsed like cut wheat. The collapsed pirates, without exception, were all Spirit Masters.

  Watching their comrades fall, the next line of pirates immediately looked distracted. They basically hadn’t even seen how Tang San did it. Immediately afterward, Tang San’s second wave of silver needles appeared.

  The forte of Tang Sect disciples was chaotic group fights, especially after reaching grandmaster level, as long as they had enough hidden weapons, they basically didn’t fear enemy numbers.

  These pirates had no mortal enmity, and even more wouldn’t go threaten everyone in the house, so Tang San would naturally hold back. At the same time as the second wave of silver needles shot out, he himself also floated forward, rushing among the pirates alone.

  Due to silver needles, large numbers of pirates fell to the ground. None of these collapsed Spirit Masters were above fortieth rank. For fortieth rank and below Spirit Masters, Tang San’s silver needles were enough to break their defensive spirit abilities.

  Purple Pearl had now already dodged into the pirate group, and still hadn’t discovered what happened outside, but she still heard the cries of alarm. Just as she wondered what had happened, suddenly, a warm feeling rushed into her body. At the same time she vaguely saw a faint blue light from the ground.

  Purple Pearl Island also possessed blue silver grass, just not all that much. Relying on the guidance of the Blue Silver Domain, let alone a few thousand, even among tens of thousands, Tang San would still easily be able to locate Purple Pearl.

  Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step launched. The pirates had already begun to attack Tang San, but he seemed to have grown a thousand arms, each time he raised his hands pirates would collapse. Those nearby with sealed acupoints, some more distant greeted by hidden weapons.

  Among these pirates, there were also dozens of fortieth rank or above Spirit Masters, who started encircling Tang San. Unfortunately, faced with the marvellous Ghost Shadow Perplexing Step, even the pure speed Bai Chenxiang had no way to deal with it, let alone these sea Spirit Masters who could only reveal their full strength in the ocean.


  With the strength of one person, moving unhindered among thousands of pirates, yet nobody could bar Tang San’s path, his white shadow could be seen weaving unhindered back and forth through the pirates, large numbers of pirates constantly collapsing. The hidden weapons gradually did not only stick to silver needles, Tang San after all had a limited amount. Various kinds of hidden weapons started to appear, but these hidden weapons didn’t reveal any killing power, guided by Tang San’s ten dextrous fingers, they found the pirates’ acupoints.

  Purple Pearl finally discovered what was going on, and she also saw Tang San only a few dozen meters away. Seeing numerous group members collapsing, her mind had already turned blank.

  Was, was he still human? She clearly saw that Tang San complied with his promise, and didn’t use any spirit abilities, so much that he hadn’t even released that blue golden spirit. But even like this, nobody could block his path forward.

  The incense had already burned by half. But there were already several hundred pirates on the ground. In the eyes of the pirates, Tang San’s completely emotionless gaze was half like the descent of a death god.

  Suddenly, Tang San’s gaze met Purple Pearl’s. Purple Pearl saw the faint smile on his face, it didn’t hold any contempt, but was full of confidence, absolute confidence.

  Completely suppressed by such imposing manner, Purple Pearl couldn’t even display seventy percent of her strength. All she wanted to do now was run, run to the ocean as fast as possible. She believed that, as a landlubber Spirit Master, Tang San wouldn’t have any way of catching her in the sea.

  At this moment, Purple Pearl couldn’t help somewhat hate that she had placed this village at the center of the island. If it was at the seaside, maybe she could already have rushed into the sea.
