The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

“Why can Feng Wu go? She’s a grade lower than me.
Isn’t she weaker than me?” Milty pointed at Feng Wu, dissatisfied with the selection.

Feng Wu blinked without replying.

“If you can defeat Feng Wu, you can come.” Ming Xi stated simply.

Was he suggesting she couldn’t beat a freshman? Milty was angry at being looked down on upon so she called Feng Wu out.

Feng Wu readily responded.
She knocked Milty out in two quick moves but it wasn’t surprising.
Students in Milty’s division weren’t especially strong in physical combat.

Milty didn’t understand it but she realized how weak she was after losing to a freshman like Feng Wu.
She practiced like crazy in the days afterwards.
Her practice wasn’t wasted.
She made it into the top ten the next year, but that’s not important right now.

She agreed to go to Sanye with Ink and Leo for the original mission.

Ming Xi tasked Leo with taking care of the group, then he got off with Feng Wu and Jier at the next trading port.
He watched as the ship took the other three team members away, before turning around and leaving.

Devil Wind island was five days away from the trading post.
The team rushed to the island on the boat Ming Xi bought.

In the meantime Yanran’s group had split up, with Ilis traveling back to Bohai to report.
They had discussed the plan before they left the ship that night.

Yanran was sitting on the boat looking sadly around her.
Oleen was distressed.
“What’s wrong Yanran?”

“Nothing, I’m just worried the seniors will worry about us running off the way we did.” Yanran was feeling dispirited.
She didn’t know where they were going or how strong the Red Skulls were.

The princess’s bodyguard weren’t stupid.
How would anyone help them if they knew how strong the Red Skulls were? They’d purposefully left Yanran and Oleen in the dark the entire trip.
The only thing they shared was that the Red Skulls were a relatively large pirate group.

A gentle smile appeared on Oleen’s stern face once he heard her reply.
He confidently said, “Don’t worry, Senior Ming Xi is probably already on his way.”

“You mean Senior Ming Xi is coming?!” Previously Yanran didn’t think Ming Xi would follow them.
They had purposefully disregarded his orders and acted on their own.
No one would fault him if he left them behind.

“Silly girl, your mother is a teacher at Xingguang Holy Academy.
Senior Ming Xi will have to come, even if it’s just to give her face.
Besides . . .” He knew Milty wouldn’t leave him behind.
Of course knew he couldn’t say the words out loud to the girl he liked, so he stopped talking.

Yanran was relieved after hearing his explanation and didn’t notice the strangeness in his voice.

Ming Xi wasn’t to be underestimated; he was the fifth-year class president after all.
It would be easier to rescue everyone with him around.

“In that case, everything will be fine.
Princess Hailin and the others who were kidnapped are just too pitiful.
No matter what, I hope we can rescue them.”

“Yanran, you’re such a kind girl!” Oleen gazed at Yanran in a daze.
In that brief moment, he felt like he could do anything for her.

Ming Xi didn’t know it, but Oleen had banked on Yanran from the beginning.
According to his calculations, he fully expected Ming Xi to follow Yanran.
He also understood his fiancé; she would never leave without him.
Wonder if the others on the team would care if these two lived or die it they knew.

Oleen was clever.
He had everything calculated from the start.
What he didn’t consider was how strong the Red Skulls were.
He wanted to make Yanran happy, so the pirates weren’t even a consideration.
This would doome him to a tragic end.

Ming Xi and his team were nearing the end of their five-day journey and were closing in on Demon Wind island, but they hadn’t run into Yanran and Oleen.
Out of desperation, Ming Xi had no choice to but find a way to get onto the island.

“We’ll be spotted if we sail the boat any closer.” Jier cautioned.
He stopped the boat not daring to steer any closer to the island.

“That’s troublesome.
Do you want to swim over?” Ming Xi asked.

Swimming from their current location to Demon Wind island wouldn’t be easy.
It would take them several hours at least.
Not to mention, they could be spotted the moment they got ashore.
After swimming for so long, they would be exhausted and be at a disadvantage in a fight.

“If you have a teleportation spell, we could get to the island easily.” Jier said hopefully.

“No, teleportation spells are easy to use, but their destination is random.
What if we land in a group of pirates?”

Ming Xi rejected the idea immediately.
Before they knew it, a half hour had passed and they entered the waters surrounding Demon Wind island without a solution.

Feng Wu was sitting at the stern playing with the water while they were talking.
If either Ming Xi or Jier were to walk over to her at that moment, they would see a school of fishes surrounding her feet.
There were all kinds of large and small fishes.

Ming Xi and Jier failed to notice them because the fishes didn’t emanate killing intent.
The two guys kept talking completely unaware of the trailing school.

Feng Wu was happy to make so many new friends in the water.
After she had had enough, she walked over to the guys.
She heard them talking as she approached.

“Or swim there.” Ming Xi said.

“I’m not good with water.” Jier was a fire mage, so he naturally disliked water.
He did not want to spend several hours swimming.

“Can you put up with it?” Ming Xi understood Jier’s situation, but they couldn’t use a teleportation scroll unless they wanted to attract unwanted attention.
They had no other recourse but to go with the most primitive solution.
