"Brother Leisalong, I entrust the matter between my Licao Island and Luanshan Yun to you. This old bones of mine can't take any more trouble, I can't handle it." An elderly man around the age of seventy accompanied Leisalong, deliberately slowing his steps, as they walked slowly towards the docking area on the south bank of Licao Island.

  The south bank docking area is divided into two parts: one for small boats to berth, and the other exclusively for distinguished guests of the island. The two places are about three hundred feet apart, and both have guards stationed.

  Although Licao Island is privately owned, its external defenses are not very strict. If a boat needs to stop temporarily, or if someone wants to come ashore to wander around, they only need to inform the guard and get their permission to enter.

  Today, the shore area specially reserved for distinguished guests' ships has a somewhat solemn atmosphere. All six guards who rotate shifts morning, noon and night are present, patrolling back and forth along the south bank, guarding a medium-sized official ship for a whole morning.

  Leisalong furrowed his brows imperceptibly, pulled his gaze back from the official ship at the shore, glanced at Baro diagonally behind him and several Licao Island servants in charge of looking after the old man, then cast his gaze very faintly towards the other docking area.

  He has visited this island countless times, but for some unknown reason, he feels that today is a little... unusual. Faintly, imperceptibly, the sea breeze blowing around the island carries something hidden, like a woman's laughter... a certain person's soft yet almost wild laughter.

  Mocking himself for being oversuspicious, he shook his head, took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Ming Dahai, the old owner of Licao Island: "Luanshan Yun has troubled you several times recently, Elder Ming, threatening to poison the deer on the island, destroy the livelihood of Licao Island, but the person they ultimately want to deal with is me. Once I intervene, Luanshan Yun will shift their main force, and the threat to Licao Island will definitely subside."

  The old man nodded, sighed earnestly: "As far as I know, Luanshan Yun has had secret business dealings with you, brother, and the cooperation seems to have gone quite smoothly. Now Luanshan Yun turns against you without warning. This Eighth Princess, whom the Luzon Kingdom regards as a cancer that must be eliminated as soon as possible, is really cruel and ruthless. You have always been prudent in your affairs, what on earth have you done to offend her?"

  Leisalong looked thoughtful, pressed his lips and did not answer. Only if you looked closely could you see the blue veins gradually protruding on his temple, as if he was forcefully holding back his anger.

  Baro, who had been following diagonally behind, suddenly stepped closer and said in a deep voice: "Boss, that's our ship." Leisalong raised his eyebrows, and his sharp gaze looked into the distance.

  A ship had docked at the other berth about three hundred feet away. The ship was ordinary, but what was unusual was the triangular wolf-head flag planted on top of the awning—it was exactly the same as the flag flown on his own ships.

  Who came to Licao Island?

  He narrowed his eyes, the feeling of unease rose again. This time, he clearly caught the faint soft laughter in the wind, so delicate, so flirtatious... His face suddenly darkened, and without even saying another word of explanation to the old man, his tall and strong body suddenly charged towards that direction.

  "Huh? What's going on... Who is here?"

  Ming Dahai, who has been a very laid-back island owner and had no idea who had come to the island, blinked his increasingly dim old eyes. This was the first time he had seen his friend Leisalong in such a hurry.

  Licao Island, it really is an island with plenty of deer and grass!

  Hua Duomei jumped off the ship, lifted her skirt and ran up the slope less than a hundred feet from the docking area. The green grass slope covered the whole island like a large green blanket. Deer were scattered in small groups east and west, adding up to a large number. At first glance, her heart beat rapidly, her desire to play surged, and her beautiful face flushed with excitement.

  The kind old ladies on the island gave her and Danhua two bags of homemade forage crackers, saying that deer love to eat this stuff, and told the two young ladies to go feed the deer.

  Lu Danhua is used to being reserved, she is even careful when feeding deer. How could Hua Duomei allow her to be so quiet, she took the lead in messing around, and pulled the gentle girl along with her, dragging her straight into the deer herd!

  "Building Master, don't do this! It's too dangerous!"

  "Hahaha~~"

  "Building Master, watch out! Waaaaa——"

  "Hahaha~~"

  Smelling the scent of forage crackers, one deer after another surrounded the two of them. Lu Danhua's vision blurred, she only saw countless big deer pushing their heads towards her, the deer noses bumped so hard that the bag holding the crackers in her hand broke, and the crackers scattered all over the ground. Those big deer suddenly lowered their heads as if worshiping, scrambling for the crumbs that fell by the edge of her skirt. They bit her skirt several times, scaring her so much that she forgot her ladylike composure, dodging left and right, screaming constantly.

  "Don't be afraid don't be afraid, sister will protect you!" Hua Duomei was always happy when teasing people.

  Suddenly, a large, strong stag with beautiful antlers galloped over from a distance, also here to snatch the forage crackers. The stag howled as it ran, and the deer herd surrounding them was greatly affected. Their hooves stirred restlessly, and suddenly they started jostling each other.

  Someone shouted for them to get out of the way quickly, Hua Duomei's laughter was clear, she was not frightened at all. She held Lu Danhua and jumped out of the chaos easily.

  Her posture was extremely beautiful, but after landing she didn't stand still properly, instead she held the tightly closed-eyed Danhua and deliberately rolled around on the grass. She stopped after five or six rolls, and her laughter still continued recklessly. Several island residents who stopped to watch around became more and more curious as they watched, and couldn't help whispering to each other——

  "Are they going to kiss again? Sigh, both girls are so beautiful, why don't they like men, they just like... just... sigh!" They sighed heavily regretfully.

  "We saw that scene just now, that beautiful lady who keeps laughing forced a kiss on that delicate girl." They clicked their tongues in amazement. "She kissed so fiercely, even a man kissing a girl doesn't have that kind of intensity. The three boatmen that came with them almost got scared silly, one of them even fell into the river out of fright!"

  "Huh? I know that delicate girl, she's Stewardess Danhua from Master Leisalong's residence! How can she let someone take such liberties with her? By the way, isn't Master Leisalong visiting our Licao Island today? Should we go inform him, that his steward is being bul...bul...bul..." Their voices trailed off into a trembling stutter, their eyes bulged out almost falling out of their sockets, because the master whose steward was being bullied was standing right next to them!

  Leisalong's thick chest heaved violently. Even though he had been prepared in his heart, he never expected that after rushing up the grass slope, he would hear such words and see such a scene.

  When he was extremely angry, his whole face instead became very calm, completely expressionless.
