Ain's Vigilance

"Who knows if what you're saying is true?"

Ain couldn't help but mutter something under her breath.

Even if you don't have any ideas at all.

But the other side has its own agenda!

"Um?"

Lin Yan squinted at Ain, and the girl immediately giggled and shook her head at Lin Yan in a flattering manner.

"I... I didn't mean that at all! Um, I definitely wasn't doubting you! I didn't have that thought!"

With a fawning smile on her pretty face, Ain chuckled at Lin Yan.

Of course, that's what I was thinking.

Only she knows the truth.

Recently, the way the two of them interact has been settled.

There's nothing different from before.

Only occasionally would Ain show her charming and innocent side in front of Lin Yan, allowing her to see a completely different side of her.

They enjoy being petty and argumentative, but when it comes to serious matters, they are completely obedient to you.

Overall, she's a very cute girlfriend.

Lin Yan rolled her eyes, somewhat speechless.

"So you're completely overthinking it. How old was she a decade or so ago? Okay, okay, don't worry, we're going to start logging in."

As she spoke, Lin Yan began to steer the boat to shore.

Yes, yes, yes~

Ain responded absentmindedly, but didn't refute Lin Yan's words, perhaps she was just overthinking it.

Thinking this, Ain felt a little relieved. Seeing that Lin Yan had begun to steer the small boat to shore, she began to pack the necessary luggage and rations on her own.

The docking went smoothly.

Before long, their small boat came to a steady stop on the shore.

Of course, it just meant that the docking went relatively smoothly.

Before long, they were surrounded by a group of people.

Who are you people?!

Seemingly noticing the approaching boat, a group of female warriors quickly appeared on the shore, and the leader shouted at the boat.

"Don't worry, we're just travelers."

Ain was clearly used to this kind of situation; she calmly stepped off the ship, spreading her hands as she did so.

"We meant no harm."

"That would be perfect."

Seeing Ain's composed demeanor, the leading female warrior relaxed her guard slightly and nodded gently. She was about to say something, but upon seeing Lin Yan disembarking with Ain, she raised her weapon without saying a word.

"Man!"

Where?

"It really is! It's a man, exactly like the one in the legends!"

"Are we going to get eaten?"

"..."

The female soldiers around them also started chattering and making a ruckus.

Lin Yan then slapped her forehead.

How could I forget about that!

It's important to know that men are forbidden from entering Amazon Lily. According to rumors, it's because a certain empress disliked men so much that she established this rule.

You truly live up to your reputation.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan helplessly rubbed her forehead.

"Well, just like Ain said, we have no ill intentions. We just came to Amazon Lily to see an old friend. Could you please make an exception?"

Lin Yan spoke with a hint of helplessness.

He wasn't an unreasonable person; as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and he didn't want to cause any conflict on Little Hancock's turf.

If the issue can be resolved through negotiation, that would be the best outcome.

If negotiations fail, we can discuss it further later.

"Please leave, both of you!"

However, it seems that won't work.

The Amazon Lily warriors were adamant in their stance, for this place had always been a forbidden zone for men, without exception.

Despite Lin Yan's attempts to appear very friendly, the leading female warrior seemed determined not to show any leniency and immediately raised her weapon, addressing the two of them.

"Amazon Lily doesn't welcome men, please don't make things difficult for us!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, both Lin Yan and Ain shook their heads, somewhat speechless.

I'd heard that someone was quite willful, but I never imagined it would go this far...

"What to do?"

Ain quietly moved closer to Lin Yan and asked.

"It seems there's no other way."

Lin Yan shook her head helplessly.

"Although I really want to reason with them, judging from their expression, they're probably not going to listen. Let's get ready."

"Hmm... okay then."

Ain's expression was somewhat strange, but she eventually nodded.

After all, Lin Yan's meaning was already quite clear.

"Okay, okay, let's leave now, alright?"

Ain waved to the leading female warrior in a perfunctory manner, as if she intended to turn back and go home. She and Lin Yan turned around and left in perfect unison.

Just as the female warriors breathed a sigh of relief...

"I'm on the left!"

"Then I'll go right!"

The two suddenly stumbled, abruptly changing direction, and in an instant, they broke through the defensive line before the female warriors' expressions changed drastically.

"Stop them!"

The female warrior in the lead reacted quickly, immediately issuing a command and charging forward herself.

However, with one being a top-tier expert and the other a female swordsman, how could they be stopped so easily?

At least the female warriors in front of us are far from that level.

"I'm sorry! I have some business to attend to on the island, so please don't follow me."

Lin Yan laughed heartily, and with a few leaps, she and Ain quickly disappeared into the dense jungle.

Damn it!

Seeing their actions, the leading female warrior stomped her foot angrily.

She is also self-aware.

After all, just by watching the two men's movements, she knew she was probably no match for them, and rashly chasing after them would only bring her humiliation.

So there's only one thing left to do.

"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and go to the city to inform His Majesty about these two! Quickly, quickly!"

The leading female warrior immediately and decisively issued the order.

The others then seemed to wake from a dream and scattered, running towards the city.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Taking advantage of their speed, Lin Yan and Ain had already blended into the city.

Of course, considering the previous situation, Lin Yan also took necessary precautions to disguise himself, as he did not want to cause a disturbance on the street because of his appearance.

It's nothing more than a disguise, simply shrouding oneself in a cloak.

Just like he did more than a decade ago, acting suspiciously.

It's not exactly conspicuous, but you could definitely see it from across the street.

The residents walking on the street all cast surprised glances at the two of them.

Lin Yan glanced at Ain with a hint of helplessness.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

From the moment she left, Ain had been guarding her closely, as if she were a thief, as if she were afraid of being stolen from.

Half of the surprised gazes around him were directed at him, while the other half were drawn by Ain's strange behavior.

"Of course, it's about being on alert! Being on alert!"
