A Single Word Repelled the Towering Waves

Ye Tian carried Lin Mengyao out of the cabin and onto the deck.

He watched the pitch-black waves rise dozens of meters high and crash toward the ship.

Lin Mengyao closed her eyes in despair.

If I die, I die. It's better than marrying Hu Dong.

But just as she closed her eyes and waited for death, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

"Begone!"

The voice echoed in Lin Mengyao's ears like a thunderclap.

Lin Mengyao smiled bitterly to herself and cursed him in annoyance.

What a fool. Why would the forces of nature listen to you?

"Hm?"

But after waiting a while, Lin Mengyao was shocked to discover that the waves had not swept her away as she had imagined.

Puzzled, Lin Mengyao opened her eyes.

Her little mouth fell open at once, and her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

The towering waves were rapidly retreating in every direction, as though they had come alive.

It was as if something here frightened them.

In the blink of an eye, the sea grew calm again, without the slightest trace of wind or waves!

"Wh-what's going on?"

Lin Mengyao was dumbfounded. After a long moment, her gaze suddenly fell on Ye Tian.

Ye Tian stood on the deck, his body straight as a javelin.

His gaze was imposing as he watched the waves retreat, his coldness enough to make one's heart tremble.

Lin Mengyao was stunned.

With a single word, he had driven back the towering waves!

Who on earth is he?

"Mengyao, Mengyao!"

Just then, Lin Zhen and Hu Dong rushed onto the deck, panic written across their faces.

Seeing that Lin Mengyao was safe and sound, they breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Hu Dong saw Lin Mengyao nestled in Ye Tian's arms like a little bird seeking shelter, his face turned ugly.

He flew into a rage on the spot.

"Damn you, I'll kill you!"

Hu Dong let out a shout and charged at him.

Ye Tian's face turned cold, and he sent Hu Dong flying with a kick.

"Young Master Hu!"

Lin Zhen was startled and hurried over, only to find Hu Dong's eyes tightly shut, his body limp and unconscious.

"You!"

Lin Zhen was furious. Not only had this brat spoken up to cause trouble, he had also injured Young Master Hu.

This was outrageous!

Lin Zhen was about to storm over when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"President Lin, wait!"

Master Wu walked over, his face battered and bruised.

He stared at Ye Tian in shock and asked in disbelief,

"Who on earth are you?"

Ye Tian glanced at him and said haughtily,

"You're not qualified to know!"

Lin Zhen was just about to rebuke him when Master Wu stopped him.

"Forget it. What happened today was far too strange."

"We'll discuss everything once we're ashore."

Master Wu shook his head, deeply wary of Ye Tian.

Lin Zhen wanted to take Lin Mengyao back, but she shook her head and said,

"All of you, go into the cabin."

"I want to have a few words with him."

Once everyone had left, Lin Mengyao's pretty face flushed slightly, and she said in a low voice,

"Could you put me down now?"

Only then did Ye Tian realize he was still holding a warm, fragrant beauty in his arms.

He loosened his grip and set Lin Mengyao down.

Lin Mengyao smoothed her hair, which had been mussed by the sea breeze, and said to Ye Tian,

"Thank you."

"Were they really lying to me?"

Ye Tian nodded and said bluntly,

"You've been afflicted by evil. Someone cast a hex on you."

"The one behind it is that Master Wu."

"Worshipping the Dragon King statue was a scheme to make you marry that man named Hu Dong."

"Clearly, Master Wu and Hu Dong are in it together."

Ye Tian had lived for a thousand years in the danger-ridden Immortal Realm. What schemes and tricks had he not seen?

How could he fail to see through such a petty trick?

After hearing him out, Lin Mengyao was so angry that her little face turned pale.

She had never imagined that all the torment that had made her life worse than death was Hu Dong and the others' doing.

"Can you help me?" Lin Mengyao looked at Ye Tian expectantly.

Ye Tian had made the Sea Dragon King statue explode, driven back the towering waves, and seen that she had been afflicted by evil.

He must have a way to save me, right?

Ye Tian looked at Lin Mengyao for a moment, then nodded.

"Very well."

"Since fate brought us together, I'll grant you a stroke of fortune!"
