Chapter 722 - 315: Are You Sure You Want to Fight Him? He’s Strong—Really Strong

"Advisor Chen!"

Zhang Bai drove to the location given by Chen Yuan and finally met the long-unseen Advisor Chen on a beach.

Chen Yuan lay on the soft sandy beach, his gaze fixed ahead. The blue-tinted sky covered the ink-colored sea, and the sound of waves gently lapping at the sand resonated in his ears, along with the distant boisterous shouts of pet battles.

As the internet puts it, this is a blues moment full of romantic ambiance.

In this moment, one should be lying on the beach with a girlfriend, whispering sweet nothings, enjoying the romantic moment together.

The prerequisite is that you have a girlfriend.

Chen Yuan didn’t have a girlfriend, but Spark and Twin Flower Concubine were both by his side.

Twin Flower Concubine was held in Chen Yuan’s arms, her cold eyes fixed on the nearby pet battle, with a hint of eager readiness flashing across her face.

With the Donghuang Conference approaching, the little one has been training hard recently, keen on honing herself through pet battles to achieve faster progress.

Seeing that the little one was preparing to join the pet battle ahead, Chen Yuan hurriedly spoke to stop her: "No, give them a break."

"Huh?"

Twin Flower Concubine raised her eyes towards Chen Yuan, a trace of confusion appearing on her cold face.

Chen Yuan pursed his lips and spoke gently: "These pet battles are too low-level; they won’t help you hone yourself."

Actually, the real reason was that Twin Flower Concubine’s strength and methods were too cruel, and Chen Yuan feared leaving a lasting psychological shadow on these mediocre Beastmasters.

Just then, Zhang Bai’s voice came from behind, and Chen Yuan turned his head: "I hurried here this time, hoping I’m not disturbing you."

Zhang Bai replied enthusiastically: "No way, I’m beyond happy that Advisor Chen can come to Binhai City."

Chen Yuan stood up and shook hands with Zhang Bai, diving straight into the topic: "I came over this time to ask for a favor."

Zhang Bai rubbed his hands hard on his clothes, then shook hands while curiously asking: "Advisor Chen, what do you need my help with?"

Pausing for a moment, he grinned, emphasizing his words: "Advisor Chen, just say the word, and I’ll do everything I can to help you."

Chen Yuan waved his hand, smiling: "Don’t be so serious, it’s not a big deal."

After a slight pause, he asked: "Do you know Manlan Island?"

"Manlan Island..."

Zhang Bai recited the name softly; initially, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, followed by a thoughtful expression and an uncertain tone: "Advisor Chen, could you be referring to that Poison Island east of Binhai City?"

"Poison Island?" Chen Yuan was briefly stunned before nodding in realization, "That must be it."

Manlan Island harbors a large number of Poison-type Pet Beasts, so calling it Poison Island seems reasonable.

Though unsure of why Chen Yuan was asking about this island, Zhang Bai didn’t hold back: "I know a bit about the island but not much; it’s said to be inhabited by many Poison-type Pet Beasts, becoming a forbidden area for Beastmasters."

Chen Yuan nodded and asked: "Do you know how to get there?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Bai’s expression became serious as he considered Chen Yuan’s intent: "Advisor Chen, are you planning to...?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yes, I need to go to Manlan Island."

Zhang Bai nodded quietly, then frowned in thought for a moment, carefully choosing his words: "Advisor Chen, there’s currently no public transportation to Manlan Island; it’s not a tourist destination, and after the Spiritual Energy Revival, it’s full of dangers, so even most Beastmasters avoid it."

"However, I heard from a friend that sometimes Poison-type experts charter boats to go there, but they’re very few — you might not meet one for an entire month."

Chen Yuan keenly caught the key words: "Charter boats?"

Zhang Bai nodded emphatically: "Yes, going to such niche islands requires a chartered boat, though it’s usually expensive due to the distance from Binhai City, making the trip costly."

Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully and shared his current idea: "How far is it exactly? Can I get there riding a Flying Pet Beast?"

At this, Zhang Bai glanced at the Fire-breathing Bird standing on Advisor Chen’s shoulder, revealing a look of realization: "Advisor Chen, I wouldn’t recommend that."

"Why?"

"After the Spiritual Energy Revival, the sea is full of dangers, the weather is unpredictable, and the signal is unstable, so it’s easy to get lost at sea," Zhang Bai elaborated hesitantly, "When we venture out, we must prepare for the worst-case scenario; if such things happen and you don’t have a Water-type Pet Beast, you could be in peril."

Chen Yuan nodded quietly.

This was indeed a concern of his.

Not knowing the sea routes or conditions, venturing out recklessly could lead to unexpected situations.

Moreover, he doesn’t have a Water-type Pet Beast, so even if he brings Run Run Duck, it wouldn’t be feasible to expect the duck to resolve all crises and take him away.

His primary mission this time is to avoid unexpected situations and successfully complete Twin Flower Concubine’s advancement.

Just as he was lost in thought, Zhang Bai suddenly patted his chest, a smile appearing on his face: "Advisor Chen, I’ll take you there."

"Do you remember I once said I have a boat? While not large or luxurious, it can safely take you to Manlan Island."

"I can’t compare with you in terms of power, Advisor Chen, but when it comes to sailing, I’m quite reputable in Binhai City."

Before coming, Chen Yuan had glanced at Zhang Bai’s social media, seeing daily posts of sailing photos.

The content was always the same; he stood on a mid-sized fishing boat, wearing a vibrant smile, holding various Spirit Fish in his arms, with the endless sea as the backdrop.
