Divorce Only Makes a Son-in-Law Stronger

Chapter 304 299: The Return of Glory

"Phew... Li Shan, you really are a gift from the heavens to me."

Moments later, under Lin Fan's needlework, Xue He experienced another unforgettable and wonderful sensation.

She lay sprawled on the bed, as if she had just undergone a great battle.

Her eyes were moist like silk, filled with a dazed satisfaction.

The slightly parted red lips were gently gasping for breath.

Her whole body was drenched in fragrant sweat, nearly soaking through the thin moon-white robe.

Revealing the exquisite curves underneath, completely exposed to Lin Fan's gaze.

"I really like you, sister. It's late tonight, so you should go back and rejuvenate for tomorrow's performance!"

She got up, hugged Lin Fan's shoulder, and smiled as she planted a kiss on his cheek.

Then she twisted her slender waist and shapely hips, walking and removing the robe on her way to the bathroom.

"..."

Lin Fan stared at the snow-white, alluring figure, frowned, and withdrew his gaze.

It had to be said, she was too tempting and her behavior too wanton.

If this continues with too much contact, even though Lin Fan's willpower is far beyond the ordinary, he might still find it hard to resist...

"Mr. Li, I'll escort you back. We've arranged a separate room for you; feel free to contact the service staff there if you need anything."

Leaving the chamber alone, it was already deep into the night outside.

A full moon hung high over the distant sea, like a large pearl on black velvet.

Salty sea breeze accompanied by the sound of waves surged from outside the island.

Clearing Lin Fan's head a little.

Facing the respectful gaze of his guide, he nodded and got onto a shuttle beach car heading to the Slave Fighting rest area.

"Wow, Li Shan is back!"

"Oh my God, Li, you can even stand after coming back, that's truly incredible!"

"Brother Li, you got to cover us little brothers in the future. If you can get Lady Xue He, we'll all be able to live it up!"

Along the way, passersby cast strange glances and secretly pointed.

Some were envious, while others were jealous, their eyes red.

Still, others disdainfully shook their heads, subtly muttering words like "freeloader" or "pretty boy."

Lin Fan didn't bother to pay attention, remaining calm as he was escorted to the grass shack where Shi Potian and others were.

Upon entering, he was met with amazement and welcome.

Like a newly arrived monkey at a zoo, surrounded by those people for observation and praise.

"Li Shan, I heard that most guys leaving Lady Xue He's room are carried out... The fact you can walk out, you're really hiding your talents."

The hooked-nose captain was surprisingly present, came over and scrutinized Lin Fan warmly.

"We're all in the same boat; when you become successful, don't forget your old friends."

"Yeah, yeah, Li Shan, I had some prejudice against you before, and I deserve to be scolded, but don't hold it against me."

The short, thin, bald Ah Fa stood up from the corner and squeezed over with a thick face.

His expression changed to flattery, as if he's a different person, no longer dare to put on a face.

"Hmm, without you guys, I wouldn't have met Lady Xue He. I won't forget you."

Lin Fan nodded, accepting a large paper box from Ah Fa.

Opening it, inside were two sets of neatly folded handcrafted high-end suits and socks, clearly not ordinary items.

"Just a small token, even though there are malls on the island, they are incredibly pricey... Brother Li Shan has just arrived, surely needs some attire."

The hooked-nose captain chuckled, producing a delicate watch box like performing a magic trick.

"Thanks, sorry for making you spend."

Lin Fan didn't hold back, handed the large box to the proud-looking Shi Potian, and took the watch box to open.

It was a limited edition men's watch by Patek Philippe, with a dial featuring fine diamonds and colorful gemstones.

Roughly estimating, the market price probably wasn't under a million!

"It's quite expensive; among friends, it's unnecessary to go this far."

Lin Fan put on the watch, adjusted his cuff, making him look even more dignified and extraordinary.

"Of course, of course, you are after all the man favored by Lady Xue He; clothes make the man, and tack makes the horse."

The hooked-nose captain smiled more kindly, but secretly puzzled.

Sending a million-dollar watch, expecting to see Lin Fan overwhelmed or something.

Instead, he didn't even blink, appearing quite composed.

It seems he underestimated this Li Shan; maybe he isn't as simple as he appears.

"The Slave Fighting Tournament is a big event on the island, there will be betting. Brother Li Shan, if interested, you can play around, if short on funds, just ask, haha."

Seeing Lin Fan's lukewarm attitude.

The hooked-nose captain wisely excused himself with the embarrassed, laughing Ah Fa.

Whoosh!

With those two eyesores gone, Uncle Hui and others immediately gathered around.

Each was eyebrows dancing, staring at Lin Fan with great interest.

"What? Is there a flower on my face?"

Lin Fan frowned, asking rather speechlessly.

"Not just a flower, it's a bright red rose!"

The plump True Zhenzong lasciviously grinned, unable to stop staring at Lin Fan's side profile.

Nearby, Amirno licked his lips, eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Uncle Hui and a few others silently laughed, teasing glances exchanged.

"Li Shan, come on, tell us what Lady Xue He's like!"

Shi Potian crowded over too with a face that should have been filled with righteousness, yet showed a lewd smile.

"Nothing much, just stayed in her room for a while, then gave her a couple of needlework."

Lin Fan's face was dark.

Only then did he remember being kissed by Xue He, probably leaving a lipstick mark on his face.

No wonder the guys we've encountered along the way gave me such strange looks... He reached out and wiped his cheek.

"Needling? Brilliant, what a brilliant metaphor!"

Zhenzong's eyes lit up, his small eyes almost squinted into a narrow slit.

"Explain clearly, how many needles did you use, and how did you do it?"

Amirno was anxious, continuously urging.

Even the older guys like Uncle Hui secretly pricked up their ears.

After all, Xue He was such an exquisite beauty, possessing both high status and a captivating allure.

Any normal man would find it hard not to daydream about her.

Especially seeing Lin Fan return looking so refreshed.

It made everyone itch with curiosity, unable to resist wanting to understand the experience.

"How else could I do it? Of course, I pierced her."

Facing the eager gaze of everyone,

Lin Fan's mouth twitched slightly as he took out a silver needle.

Sizzle!

He held the needle with two fingers and pinned it onto the wooden table.

"Is this it? If you won't say, forget it, don't take us for fools!"

Upon seeing this, everyone was dumbfounded.

Then they looked at each other with odd expressions, feeling greatly disappointed.

Amirno folded his arms, rolling his eyes in frustration.

"Li Shan, I was worried you and Zhang Si wouldn't make it through the first round of the Slave Fighting, but it seems like you're really lucky to have someone strong backing you right away."

Uncle Hui chuckled and shook his head, patting Lin Fan on the shoulder.

"The Slave Fighting will start tomorrow, and you're now a celebrity on the island, it's been spread around, no one should dare to go all out on you."

"Yeah, Lady Xue He also said not to worry, that she'd arrange an easy opponent for me to handle."

Lin Fan remained unfazed, nodded calmly.

Completely ignoring the envious shouts of unfairness from Amirno and the others.

"That's not bad, sigh, just unsure whether any of us can make it to the final round."

Uncle Hui sighed with a bitter smile, his eyes full of melancholy.

"Don't worry, Uncle Hui. With me here, Jiang Taiyan is no match at all."

Lin Fan's lips curled with mockery as he removed his watch and tossed it to Shi Potian.

"Isn't there going to be betting tomorrow? If you trust me, bet on me to win."

"Aren't you getting ahead of yourself? Just surviving the Slave Fighting is good enough, and you still want to win the bet?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then shook their heads one after another.

What a joke, the guys who made it to the ultimate Slave Fighting Arena all have some skills, right?

Except for Lin Fan, who was just brought here as cannon fodder.

The opponents on this island are almost evenly matched in strength.

That way, the battles would be intense and thrilling, inciting frenzy among the spectators!

"Believe it or not, the chance to get rich is right in front of you. Don't blame me if you miss it."

Lin Fan couldn't be bothered to persuade more, put his arm around Shi Potian's shoulder, and swaggered off to his room.

But having shared a boat ride, we're just chance acquaintances.

Let some of them earn a little money and quit early, that's already more than enough consideration.

"Young Master, I've just roughly scouted there are two ways to leave the island."

As soon as the door closed, Shi Potian straightened his expression and reported with a bow.

"I've also learned some information. I'm afraid this rescue mission isn't that easy... The Slave Fighting King on the island is called Lei Xiaohai, he might be a Half-step Divine Realm master."

Lin Fan's face turned serious, and a trace of gravity appeared between his eyebrows.

A deep gasp sound.

Shi Potian's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, inhaling sharply with panic.

"What, do you know that old guy?"

Lin Fan's expression flickered.

"Know him? He's practically a legend, Young Master! Lei Xiaohai was a martial arts legend from decades ago, known for defeating all martial artists under the God Realm!"

Shi Potian's body shook violently, supporting himself by the table corner to barely stay standing.

"Damn it, he was famous when I was still wearing crotchless pants! Who would have thought the old bastard's still alive, and there might be a confrontation!"

He gulped nervously, pale from fright.

"What are you afraid of? If push comes to shove, I can drag him down with me."

Lin Fan felt a tremor in his heart, a bit stunned himself.

He hadn't delved deeply into the Martial World.

After joining the Hulin Guard, he mostly clashed with enemy country's masters.

As for supreme martial arts figures like Lei Xiaohai, he'd never encountered... Luckily, he had the most lethal poison in the world, the Seven-Core Deadly Lotus.

If worst comes to worst, it's got to give that old bastard a taste of its power!

"It looks like we'll have to take it one step at a time. To leave the island, we could either take the supply ship or head to the small airport on the island's backside... But if we alarm Lei Xiaohai, even we might not escape!"

Shi Potian shook his head with a sigh, looking very downcast.

"Young Master, you've got to work harder to keep Xue He satisfied! Her special status can save our lives at critical moments!"

He gritted his teeth and whispered, desperately encouraging Lin Fan.

"... You want me to sell my charm?"

Lin Fan's face turned green, questioning word by word, feeling a strong urge to hit something.

"Haha, it's not a loss for you, is it? Many dream of winning her favor but don't get the chance."

Noticing Lin Fan's unsettling glare, Shi Potian quickly dashed away.

"I'll go bet, all in on the Young Master winning!"
