Han Xing and Dong Yang were confused. What else did Tang Ling want to do? However, Tang Ling had no intention of telling them, so the two of them did not press him and left.
Of course, in their hearts, both of them felt a sense of relief. It was such a risky plan, yet Tang Ling somehow managed to pull it off.
Even though they had safely returned to Lighthouse Street, Dong Yang and Han Xing still felt like they were dreaming.
**
It was already past midnight.
The night breeze by the sea was getting colder. The sea beyond the safety line was already turbulent, and it got even crazier at night. Even when the tide was low, the giant waves were still crashing towards the rock that Tang Ling was on, wave after wave.
Tang Ling did not feel anything. Even though 40 minutes had passed, he had smoked two cigarettes and drunk half a pot of ale, yet he was still patient.
The tide finally receded, revealing the rocky beach beneath the rock. It was also at this moment that the shallow seawater beside the pebble beach started to ripple in circles that were hard to be noticed by the others.
With his Precise Instinct, Tang Ling noticed the ripples. He looked at the shallow water and drank a mouthful of ale. As though he was talking to himself, he said to the shallow water, "It's cold. Isn't it uncomfortable to soak in the water?"
"I don't have anything else but half a pot of ale. If you don't mind, come up and have a sip to warm yourself up. "
The ripples continued to ripple, but no one appeared.
Tang Ling was not in a hurry. He mumbled, "Since I know you've helped me and you've seen how long I've been waiting, why are you still hiding? Why do you have to hide it? "
Tang Ling then lit another cigarette and waited patiently. It was then that a head popped up from the center of the ripples.
Under the moonlight, it was a girl with long white hair.
"A girl?" Tang Ling was slightly shocked. He never would have thought that the one who had helped him in the dark would be such a young girl.
However, Tang Ling did not show any emotions on his face. He waved the ale in his hand as an invitation.
The girl in the water did not say anything after Tang Ling's invitation. Instead, she stood up.
Under the moonlight, her body, which was still dripping water, looked very graceful. The curves of her figure were very perfect. The key was her legs, which were long and slender, and had a different kind of strength.
When she stood in the water with her legs crossed, Tang Ling felt like he was standing on a fish's tail.
She had a beautiful body and was very tall. She looked like she was at least 1.9 meters tall. Even in the Purple Moon era, it was rare for a girl to have such a height.
In addition, this girl's face was also very beautiful. She looked like a fairy from the legends, delicate and intelligent.
Tang Ling did not feel anything about her face. After all, he had been looking at Higan's peerless face for a long time. What else could captivate him?
"It is warm in the sea, and your ale is rough." Step by step, the girl walked towards Tang Ling from the water. Her voice was not crisp. It was low and slightly hoarse, which made her sound like the owner of the Dreamy Visitor, Madam Qing.
"You don't like it?" Tang Ling raised a brow.
"Yes." The girl admitted straightforwardly. She had a natural arrogance about her, but it was not pretentious. At least, it was not annoying.
She was barefoot, but the messy rocks did not affect her at all. She walked as if she was walking on flat ground. Her legs were long, so she was not slow either.
As she spoke, she reached the boulder that Tang Ling was standing on. She stood there and sized up Tang Ling without a care in the world.
As though she wanted to prove that Tang Ling's ale was not that great, she took out a delicate crystal bottle from the pouch around her waist. There was a rose-colored liquid in the bottle. She opened the bottle and took a sip.
Tang Ling twitched his nose. From the moment the girl unscrewed the bottle, he caught a whiff of an unusual wine aroma. It was like the fragrance of roses soaked in fine wine with a strong fruity aroma.
"What's that in your hand?" Tang Ling put the ale down.
"Rose Crystal Fruit Nectar. It's a good ale." The girl's eyes were gleaming with delight.
"Can I have a sip?" Tang Ling tilted his head.
The girl hesitated for a second before she said, "I don't like to touch things that others have touched."
"Just don't touch the mouth of the bottle when I drink." Tang Ling gulped nervously. He wanted to have a sip of anything good.
"Fine, I'll give it to you." The girl was rather generous.
Tang Ling did not reject. He took the crystal bottle from the girl with a smile, opened it, and eagerly took a sip.
The ale did not just smell good, but it tasted even better. When it entered his mouth, it felt like a rose bloomed in his mouth. The aroma rushed into his nose, and the faint flowery aroma turned into a fruity aroma.
How should he describe the fruity aroma? Tang Ling could not describe it. He had never eaten fruits before because they were expensive. They were only provided for a while in the First Training Camp. Later on, they were converted into all kinds of meat and nutrients to strengthen his strength.
In the end, the alcohol's stimulation spread and rolled down his throat, bringing with it a thick warmth.
The most miraculous thing was that the small sip provided him with a trace of energy and warmth. It was not the fake warmth that normal alcohol provided.
"This is really good stuff. I think I owe you a favor since I accepted your ale." Tang Ling was a little frustrated.
He did not want to drink the ale, so he capped the bottle and put it in his pocket. The girl would probably like the taste of the ale, would she not? Tang Ling wanted to save it for Higan.
Even though Higan lived a rich life and might not care about the ale, she would like it.
She would like Tang Ling's kindness.
"You know you owe me a favor, and you still dare to accept it?" The girl glanced askance at Tang Ling. Her gaze showed disdain without a care. She was looking down on Tang Ling for being so stingy after drinking a mouthful of ale.
Tang Ling would not explain anything to her. He scratched his head and said, "What should I do? Before I accepted your ale, I already owe you a favor. You helped me today, so there's no need to worry. After all, we've only met by chance, so you wouldn't help me for no reason. "
"So?" It was at that moment that the girl finally looked at Tang Ling in the eye. The arrogance in her eyes was slightly toned down.
"So, what's one more bottle of ale? You have more stuff in your bag, don't you? I don't mind if you give me a little more. "Tang Ling smiled.
"You sure are shameless." The girl wrinkled her nose and said indifferently, "You're not as arrogant as Tang Feng in this aspect."
"Tang Feng?" Tang Ling furrowed his brows. He did not want to hear the name.
"Yeah, Tang Feng! I admire this man. What do you think? "The girl turned around and glanced at Tang Ling." I want to be like Tang Feng. "
"Hmph." Tang Ling did not bother to comment. What kind of person was Tang Feng? A man who abandoned his wife and son? Did he think he could be at ease after making up for it? Tang Ling did not forget that he did not even have anything to make up for it.
"Don't laugh. I won't do anything for you just because you are Tang Feng's son! You are you, and Tang Feng is Tang Feng. "The girl was very direct with her words.
"I totally agree with that." Tang Ling sounded very sincere.
"That's why I didn't help you for nothing," the girl added.
"Yeah, I'm waiting for you to know why you helped me. What's the price I have to pay? "Tang Ling was also very direct.
"Omir," the girl uttered a name.
"I don't know him." Of course, Tang Ling did not know who Omir was.
"Let's be more direct. Omir is the real ruler of the Island of Sea Tear. His despicable father wanted his son to … "The girl suddenly stopped. She paused for a while before continuing," In short, the enemy of my enemy is my friend! Omir won't go against Liszt of the hero family. He's just a scumbag who bullies the weak and fears the strong. "
"But he will go against you."
"I felt it, but I'm not sure. Thank you for confirming the news for me, but I'm still curious. Why would he go against me? "Tang Ling raised a brow.
"Because you're famous now, but you don't have a powerful backer. Isn't that what he likes to do? He wants to bully the people he thinks he can bully and then step on them to strengthen his fragile pride. " The girl seemed to really hate the man named Omir. There was not a single good comment about Omir from her.
"Just because of that?" Tang Ling did not buy it. It was not convincing at all.
Why? Omir was undoubtedly a member of the Poseidon family. He was able to control the important Island of Sea Tear at such a young age, so he did not need to step on Tang Ling to become famous. All he needed to do was reveal his identity.
"Maybe not, but you don't need to know that much, do you?" The girl seemed a little impatient.
"I have no choice. He's going against me, and I can't stay here for long. I don't want to get involved in your family's complicated infighting. I'll owe you a favor … "Tang Ling paused for a while before he continued," Why don't I return the wine to you? "
"You …" The girl was a little angry, but she was also a little surprised. "Why are you talking about infighting? Do you know who I am? "
"Of course I don't know who you are." Tang Ling stretched his body and said, "But what you said is enough. Omir is an important figure in the Poseidon family. That's for sure. Otherwise, the Island of Sea Tear wouldn't have fallen into his hands.
"But your attitude towards him means that you are at least on equal footing with him. It's very easy for these two important figures to be involved in internal strife within the family. " Tang Ling stood up and stretched his limbs that were a little stiff from the cold. It seemed like he was really going to leave.
What a joke! Why would he get involved in the affairs of the three major families? Compared to that, being targeted by Omir was just a small matter.
After listening to Tang Ling's explanation, the girl finally showed a surprised expression. It was also the first time she sized Tang Ling up seriously. Her faint disdain for Tang Ling was gone.
"You are smart like Tang Feng."
"Hmph." Tang Ling was speechless again. How could he not mention Tang Feng?
"My name is Samuel, and my nickname is Jingjing." The girl extended her hand. "It's a pleasure to work with you. It's not about the infighting. Before Omir came here, he raped another girl. That girl is the elder sister of one of my teammates.
No one is willing to punish him for a lowly girl, but I want him to pay the price. "
