Chapter 589: Chapter 256: My Name is Fang Shuwen

"Then how are you so sure you’re your father’s son?"

"Huh?"

Chen Yougui was stunned by the question and actually started to seriously consider it. Was he conceived before or after his father’s injury?

’This was his father’s greatest sore spot, so no one in the family ever brought it up.’

Fang Shuwen glanced at him, then raised a hand to strike his acupuncture points, grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, and threw him onto the deck.

Zuo Xuan and the others happened to steer their boat up just then. Without even putting down a gangplank, he leaped over to Fang Shuwen’s side.

Fang Shuwen pointed at Chen Yougui on the ground.

"He might be useful. No need to kill him just yet. Let’s take him with us."

"Yes."

Zuo Xuan acknowledged the order, then casually lifted the man up and shouted:

"Catch!"

Still on their own boat, Zuo Hong and Zhou Zhengze were startled by the shout. It sounded familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.

Before they could figure it out, they saw a man plummeting toward them headfirst.

The two scrambled to catch him.

It was only then that the two of them remembered: Fang Shuwen had shouted the exact same thing to Daoist Wuyi when he threw Jin Yuheng.

’When did Zuo Xuan start copying Fang Shuwen’s style?’

They were, after all, more reliable than Daoist Wuyi. They didn’t let Chen Yougui smash his head directly onto the deck like Jin Yuheng had.

Zhou Zhengze caught Chen Yougui squarely.

Then, he tossed him aside like a sack of potatoes.

Meanwhile, Fang Shuwen and Zuo Xuan searched the other boat.

There wasn’t much food or water on board. Chen Yougui probably hadn’t planned to be out for long.

Fang Shuwen’s own boat also had limited provisions. It wasn’t that Suhe Lan had been stingy, but according to their original plan, they hadn’t needed to prepare much.

They only needed enough to get to Monkey Suppression Island; any extra would have just been abandoned.

Food is the staff of life, and Fang Shuwen himself wasn’t one for extravagance or waste.

But now, it seemed the original plan was no longer viable.

Back on their boat, Fang Shuwen told Luo Shuqing what Chen Yougui had said.

Luo Shuqing glanced at Fang Shuwen.

"My safety is entirely in Guard Fang’s hands. Whatever Guard Fang wishes to do is fine with me."

"Then we’ll go to Monkey Suppression Island first."

Fang Shuwen said softly.

"There’s definitely food and water on Monkey Suppression Island. We’ll make a trip to restock the ship.

"This boat is a good size, so we don’t need to switch. I just don’t know if it’ll still be here when we get back.

"If this boat is gone, we’ll just get another one.

"From now on, there’s no need for us to hide. We’ll just travel openly."

Luo Shuqing nodded.

Zuo Xuan and the others had no objections, but Zhou Zhengze was a little worried.

However, he couldn’t voice his concerns in front of everyone else.

So, on the way to Monkey Suppression Island, he secretly sought out Fang Shuwen.

"Hero Fang, if you act so openly, I’m afraid word will quickly reach the Undying Dragon Emperor...

"At that point, the Young Venerable’s situation will likely become difficult."

Fang Shuwen shook his head.

"From the moment I took on the job of escorting Luo Shuqing, this was never going to stay a secret.

"I was too naive at the beginning...

"But it doesn’t matter now.

"The allure of the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror is just too great.

"It’s possible even the Undying Dragon Emperor won’t be able to ignore it.

"As long as he thinks I’m here for the Profound Celestial Iron Mirror, Chen Qi’s life won’t be in danger for the time being.

"After this is over, we can go back into hiding and head straight for Dragon Emperor Hall. We might even be able to catch him off guard."

Zhou Zhengze thought about it for a long time but couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.

But since Fang Shuwen said so, it must be right.

Then he cheerfully went back to his duties.

Monkey Suppression Island wasn’t too far from their current position, and they had a tailwind the whole way.

In just over four hours, a massive island appeared before Fang Shuwen and his group.

This island was much larger than Black Island, nearly the size of Nameless Island.

Fang Shuwen rubbed his chin.

"Get ready. You’re coming ashore with me in a bit."

Zuo Xuan, Zuo Hong, and Zhou Zhengze exchanged glances, a hint of excitement visible in their eyes.

Luo Shuqing, however, looked at Fang Shuwen.

"Are you planning to make a scene?"

Fang Shuwen glanced at her.

"Someone spread false information to make us a public target...

"If we can’t hide it, we might as well step out into the open.

"That might actually make people more wary of us."

"Is that all?"

Luo Shuqing looked at Fang Shuwen.

Fang Shuwen said with a smile.

"What else? I’m going to escort you back to Qingxiao Pavilion, and I’d like to see who can stop me.

"But since we have some free time on our journey, we might as well pay a visit to the Four Saints of the East Sea—those four great seniors of the Jianghu!"

Luo Shuqing’s heart skipped a beat. Just as she was about to say more, they arrived at Monkey Suppression Island.

Everything on the island seemed quite normal, but Zuo Xuan had just finished mooring the boat...

...when a voice called out:

"Everyone on the boat, get down here.

"Sign the registry. Your name, where you came from, where you’re going—write it all down clearly.

"If there are any women on board, they must be inspected carefully. No oversights will be tolerated."

Zuo Xuan leaned against the ship’s rail and glanced down. It was a few of the island’s guards.

However, on the docks and on the boats moored on either side, countless pairs of eyes were secretly watching them.

Fang Shuwen led his group off the boat in a single leap.

The leader of the guards glanced at Luo Shuqing and immediately frowned.

"So there really is a woman? What’s her name? Where is she from?"

"S-Surname... Luo. Name... Shuqing. From Qingxiao Pavilion on Mi Yin Island."

"What?"

The leader was overjoyed. Without a second thought, he waved his hand.

"I don’t care if it’s true or not, seize them all!"

At the same time, the onlookers on both sides also began to move.

But at that moment, Fang Shuwen suddenly spoke up.

"Hold it!"

The leader looked at Fang Shuwen, puzzled.

"And who are you? Where are you from?"

In truth, asking this now was rather pointless.

He just asked out of habit.

Fang Shuwen smiled.

"I am Fang Shuwen, from Julu City in the Eastern Domain!"

The leader froze, feeling like he’d heard that name somewhere before. He subconsciously began to speak:

"The Eastern Domain... and your surname is Fang. That’s like that..."

He trailed off, his voice catching in his throat. Then, he shrieked in terror:

"You’re the Human World Demon God!?"
