Chapter 948: The Peerless Jade Faced Zhang Zhishan

It must be said.

Although Tian Du Island is barren and lifeless, the sunset glow is incredibly beautiful, reflecting on the calm sea surface as if one were in a fantastical world.

By the seaside, Yi Feng couldn't help but stretch lazily.

The sunset is truly magnificent.

Beside him, Fu Nantian stood with his hands behind his back.

Several times, he wanted to reveal his identity and take Yi Feng as his disciple, but each time he hesitated.

He thought it would be better to wait until the poison test was completed. After all, this kid had a peculiar temperament, and if he refused, it would be troublesome.

He needed to show off his skills in front of this kid and then bestow some favors. That should do the trick.

"Hey, old man, aren't you suffocating under that bamboo hat all day?" After spending several days together, Yi Feng had grown more familiar with Fu Nantian and couldn't resist teasing him.

"Hmm, it's fine."

Under the bamboo hat, Fu Nantian's face darkened. He thought to himself, *Kid, I'm going through all this trouble for you.*

"Wow, there's a little sea turtle here." Yi Feng dug up a barely alive sea turtle from the sand and couldn't help but feel pity. "Looks like this little guy won't make it."

"Of course, it won't survive," Fu Nantian said. "Because of Tian Du Island, there are almost no living creatures in this area. This little turtle must have wandered in recently..."

"Such a pitiful little life. Let's see if there's any way to save it," Yi Feng sighed.

"Hmph!"

"Got nothing better to do."

Behind them, Zhang Zhishan followed, sneering at their idle chatter.

Due to Zhang Chong's orders, he had no choice but to stay close to the two.

He knew Zhang Chong's temper all too well. If he didn't comply, he might really be left stranded on Tian Du Island.

However, at that moment, Zhang Zhishan saw something that made his eyes widen and his jaw nearly drop.

On the shore, less than a hundred feet away, a stunning figure appeared.

She wore a light gauze robe, her figure faintly visible, her fair collarbone clearly exposed, and her curvaceous body fully on display.

What caught the eye the most were her long, straight legs beneath the robe, clad in black silk stockings.

Although her attire seemed out of place in this environment, paired with her exquisite makeup and naturally breathtaking features, she gave off an alluring vibe under the sunset's glow.

Zhang Zhishan knew of Ye Xiao's beauty.

But no matter how much of a playboy he was, he had never dared to entertain thoughts about Ye Xiao, not even in his wildest dreams.

Yet, at this moment, his heart began to race.

Especially with her outfit, which was exactly his type.

But.

This female demon rarely ventured out unless necessary. Why had she come here alone now?

And dressed like this?

Yi Feng and Fu Nantian, who had been chatting, also noticed Ye Xiao in the distance.

Fu Nantian showed no particular expression.

But Yi Feng felt a shiver run down his spine.

"What a coincidence to meet you two gentlemen here," Ye Xiao said, swaying her alluring figure as she approached.

"Hmm."

Fu Nantian nodded.

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Yi Feng also nodded, though he felt a bit awkward recalling the previous incident. But on second thought, it wasn't a big deal. In broad daylight and in the open, what could this woman possibly do to him?

"What are you two gentlemen up to?" Ye Xiao asked, glancing at the little sea turtle in Yi Feng's hand.

"Oh, just found a little sea turtle while wandering around. It seems to be on its last legs, so I thought I'd try to save it," Yi Feng replied casually. "Such a cute little creature, it'd be a shame to let it die."

"Do you like small animals, Young Master Yi?"

Ye Xiao asked thoughtfully.

"Most people do, don't they?" Yi Feng chuckled, unable to resist glancing at Ye Xiao's outfit.

This woman's attire...

He couldn't help but ask, "Island Master Ye, did you just wake up?"

"Why do you ask, Young Master Yi?"

Ye Xiao inquired.

"Uh, nothing. Just thought it was a bit... sexy."

Yi Feng rubbed his nose and replied.

In his heart, he was even more convinced that this woman was a femme fatale.

Otherwise, who would wander around in such skimpy clothes in broad daylight?

And with black stockings, no less? Who was she trying to seduce?

Not only was she a femme fatale, but she also seemed to be quite the wild one.

Yi Feng couldn't help but regret. If he had known she was such a woman, he would never have approached her the way he did that day.

It was like a lamb walking into a lion's den.

"Sexy?"

Ye Xiao's eyebrows raised slightly.

A hint of joy stirred in her heart.

Was this Young Master Yi's approval?

Unable to help herself, she curled her lips and cast a meaningful glance at Zhang Zhishan beside her.

Who would have thought this useless guy would be of some use?

Zhang Zhishan, who had been sneakily ogling Ye Xiao with a lustful gaze, suddenly stiffened when he met her eyes.

What... what kind of look was that?

"I'll leave you all to chat. I have matters to attend to."

Ye Xiao said lightly, then took to the air and left.

"Something's off."

Fu Nantian muttered, pursing his lips.

"What's off?" Yi Feng asked.

"Not sure. Just feels a bit strange."

Yi Feng: "..."

Another day.

Outside Yi Feng's door, Zhang Zhishan stood impatiently.

What could he do? His father had given him strict orders.

"Hmph, who does he think I am? I have to stand here on standby."

"Just hurry up and poison those two so I can be free."

Zhang Zhishan grumbled.

Just then, he saw something that made his eyes widen.

A woman dressed in snow-white robes, her long black hair cascading down her back, floated down barefoot, her ethereal appearance like a celestial being descending to the mortal world, so beautiful it was almost otherworldly.

Zhang Zhishan nearly drooled.

Then, her jade-like feet gently touched the ground not far away, and she walked straight toward Zhang Zhishan.

The newcomer was none other than Ye Xiao.

Zhang Zhishan never expected that the infamous Ye Xiao could have such a side. The stark contrast stirred something deep within him, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Only when Ye Xiao approached did he snap out of it and quickly bow. "Greetings, Madam."

Ye Xiao's gaze inadvertently swept past the courtyard gate near Zhang Zhishan. She was about to leave but couldn't resist asking, "Do I look good?"

"Very good."

Zhang Zhishan swallowed and answered honestly.

Ye Xiao was pleased with the answer and, for the first time, gave Zhang Zhishan a slight smile before turning to leave.

However, as she left, a trace of disappointment flickered in her eyes. She hadn't run into Yi Feng...

Watching Ye Xiao's retreating figure, Zhang Zhishan patted his face, feeling dazed.

Ye Xiao... smiled at him? What did that mean?

A moment later.

Zhang Zhishan's eyes widened as if he had realized something.

Could it be that Madam Ye Xiao...

Could she have taken a liking to me?

The more he thought about it, the more it seemed plausible.

Otherwise, why would she have stopped him that day instead of someone else, asking what kind of attire men liked on women?

And then, that very evening, she showed up by the sea in the exact outfit he liked, right in front of him.

And the look she gave him when she left by the sea...

At the time, he didn't understand what that look meant, but now, recalling it, it was clearly a look of affection.

Not to mention, she remembered his preferences and occasionally changed her style to stir deeper emotions in men.

Just like yesterday, one style, and today, another, appearing before him again.

"Ah, Zhang Zhishan, you're such a fool. How could you not have realized it sooner?"

Zhang Zhishan slapped himself in frustration.

"With all your experience with women, you should have known she was interested in you the moment she asked what kind of attire men liked."

Though he appeared frustrated, Zhang Zhishan's heart was bursting with joy. He couldn't help but touch his flawless, jade-like face.

"Zhang Zhishan, oh Zhang Zhishan, your charm is truly extraordinary."

"I thought I could only attract ordinary women, but who would have thought even a legendary figure like Ye Xiao would fall for your unparalleled looks?"

"Just imagine, Ye Xiao lying obediently in my arms, tsk tsk..."

Unable to help himself, Zhang Zhishan straightened his back, a wide grin spreading across his face.
