Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Drowning
Yan Yi was slightly taken aback by Huang Xiaolong’s words, a hint of panic flashing across his eyes. But he quickly regained his composure. There was no way he could believe Huang Xiaolong’s self-proclaimed “god-man” words. He thought Huang Xiaolong was just being sarcastic and cursing him.

“Oh, rich people…” Yan Yi glanced disdainfully at Huang Xiaolong, then stepped aside to observe him silently in his gloomy mood.

“Little Long, did you really buy a villa here?” Wu Shanshan pulled Huang Xiaolong aside in shock. “This is the most expensive area in Binhai… You didn’t rob a bank, did you?”

“Are you out of your mind?” retorted Huang Xiaolong. “Bank robbing is so low-skilled, I would never do such a thing.”

Of course, Wu Shanshan knew that Huang Xiaolong was capable; maybe he earned the money by treating people’s illnesses. She didn’t want to dwell on this and changed the subject. “Little Long… You just said that Brother Yan has been marked by something unclean. Is this just some nonsense you’re spouting?”

“Hahaha” Huang Xiaolong chuckled, his face turning unusually serious. “I never talk nonsense.”

Yan Yi watched Huang Xiaolong and Wu Shanshan chatting and joking, completely ignoring him. His jealousy was flaring up. “Alright, Shanshan, weren’t we planning to go swimming at the beach? Why don’t you bring your boyfriend along? It’s more fun with more people.”

Yan Yi was a swimming coach at a prestigious school. While studying in the U.S., he had even won a gold medal. Now, he planned to humiliate Huang Xiaolong in his field of expertise.

Just to regain some face!

“Little Long… are you coming?” Wu Shanshan asked in a low voice. “If you don’t want to go, I can make an excuse… I don’t even like swimming.”

“Alright, may as well. I’m bored anyway,” shrugged Huang Xiaolong casually.

“Speaking of, Little Long, can you swim?” asked Wu Shanshan, intrigued.

“Swim?” Huang Xiaolong looked at her. “You could throw me in the water for three days and three nights, and I’d be just fine. I could even fish and catch prawns to stave off my hunger.”

“Oh, Little Long, you’re so funny,” Wu Shanshan burst into laughter.

“Believe it or not,” declared Huang Xiaolong earnestly.

“We’re not far from the beach. We could walk there,” suggested Yan Yi.

Right then, the three of them set off directly towards the beach.

Binhai was a coastal city where people sought the refreshing sea breeze in the sweltering summer and autumn seasons. Every visitor hoped to bathe in the sea and feast on a rich seafood banquet. Therefore, the beach bath became a popular choice for the public, satisfying both play and food cravings.

Not far from Huang Xiaolong’s villa were many beach baths, conveniently located, well-equipped, and having clean water and fine sand.

When the trio reached the beach and their gaze swept over the beach-goers in swimwear or shirtless, they found countless numbers of people busy with laughter. Their colorful swimwear appeared like a beautiful floral wreath strung around the ocean.

“Ah there are so many beautiful girls…” exclaimed Huang Xiaolong. He looked around, his eyes blazing.

“Stop it, Little Long! Stop checking out the girls,” Wu Shanshan gently rebuked him.

Upon reaching the beach, Yan Yi began warming up. He looked at Huang Xiaolong provocatively. “Little Long, is it? Can you swim?”

“Hehehehe  Swimming? Such an easy thing, who can’t do it? It’s just like walking,” Huang Xiaolong replied, laughing cheerfully.

“Humph!” Yan Yi looked disgusted. In his presence, as a champion swimmer, Huang Xiaolong had depreciated his swimming ability to worthless. Was this not another slap in his face?

“Little Long, swimming is my profession. I’m a swimming coach. I don’t appreciate your disrespect,” Yan Yi retorted sternly. “You say swimming is easy, but why do wealthy people still pay a lot of money to have me teach their children to swim? Sometimes, you should watch your words… How about this, let’s have a swim-off and see who’s better. Shanshan can be the referee. Do you dare?”

“Can you not be so childish?” Huang Xiaolong had no interest at all. “Do we really need to compete in such a low-skilled sport?”

“Stop arguing. I’m going to buy drinks,” said Wu Shanshan as she nudged Huang Xiaolong, signaling him to play it cool.

“You can swim if you want. Anyway, I’m not getting in the water today.” With that, Huang Xiaolong took a seat on a nearby beach chair.

Right then, Huang Xiaolong looked at the coast’s swimming area. Even though it was not yet evening, many swimmers delighted in the water. The women’s laughter and the splashing water added some coolness to the hot season, creating an enjoyable and relaxing atmosphere.

However

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes narrowed as the ocean surface suddenly took on a ghastly appearance!

He saw the azure sea begin to produce an ominous energy that the naked eye couldn’t perceive, floating and sinking!

‘Oh, this beach bath isn’t clean… could it be haunted by a water ghost?’ A sudden chill ran through Huang Xiaolong.

But it was not yet dark, and he was far from the water, so he didn’t notice any water ghost or other evil being.

Regardless, there was no way Huang Xiaolong would allow Wu Shanshan to play in this beach bath now.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man sitting not far from Huang Xiaolong seemed unusually disturbed. He murmured to himself, “Young people nowadays… aren’t afraid to die… This part of the sea… is unclean…”

Hearing this, Huang Xiaolong was intrigued. He addressed the middle-aged man, “Do you mean the water around here is dirty?”

The middle-aged man glanced at Huang Xiaolong. “Hehe~~ young man, what I’m talking about is not this kind of dirtiness… but… never mind, talking about it with you, you wouldn’t understand. In short, try not to hang out here, especially after dark. Actually, every year, in these waters, there are people who drown.”

“Oh…I see.” Huang Xiaolong chuckled.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man fixed his gaze on Huang Xiaolong. “Eh? Young man, you have a unique bone structure, unlike ordinary people. How about I read your fortune for free?”

“Hahahaha You reading my fortune?” Huang Xiaolong was close to laughing himself to death.

At this moment, Wu Shanshan returned with the drinks.

Huang Xiaolong stood up. “I don’t need anyone to read my fortune because no one can interpret my face.”

“Hahaha young man, you’re joking, only ghosts and gods cannot be read. Are you a ghost?”

Huang Xiaolong took a few steps, then turned back. “I am not a ghost.”

“Heh ” The middle-aged man shook his head mockingly. “So, are you suggesting that you are a god? Young people these days are really too flashy!”

Huang Xiaolong walked over to Wu Shanshan, receiving a bottle of Pulse from her.

“Little Long, what were you and that uncle just talking about? It seemed like you were very engaged in the conversation.” Wu Shanshan asked casually.

“Oh…there was a fortune-telling uncle who mentioned that these waters are unclean, claiming that water ghosts or something live here.” Huang Xiaolong took a sip of water, speaking cheerfully.

“Seriously? Water ghosts?” Wu Shanshan’s face obviously expressed disbelief.

Yan Yi had already changed his gear. He was only wearing swimming trunks, showcasing his wheat-colored skin, muscular chest, and the perfect lines of his physique. This attracted jealous gasps from many men and infatuated gazes from several women.

“Heh ” Yan Yi, seemingly regained some superiority, laughed. “Shanshan, let’s swim a bit, I’ll accompany you.”

“Oh…Yan brother, I don’t want to swim anymore.” Wu Shanshan refused.

Well, considering Yan Yi’s physical appearance, profession, education, and many other factors, he is indeed a fine man. But in Wu Shanshan’s eyes and heart, there is only Huang Xiaolong now. She can’t tolerate any other man. As a result, Yan Yi’s definitely first-rate figure is nothing but clouds to her.

“Shanshan, don’t ruin the fun. Since we are already here, let’s swim a little.” Yan Yi continued to coax.

“If Shanshan doesn’t want to swim, don’t force her, alright.” Huang Xiaolong was a little impatient.

“Then play with me. Let’s compare who’s got better swimming skills.” Yan Yi once again challenged Huang Xiaolong.

At that moment!

A cry rose from the beach!

Looking toward the sound, they saw hands frequently thrashing in the water. A woman’s head would occasionally pop up from the surface before submerging again. She choked on water constantly, and her eyes were filled with terror.

“Someone’s drowning!” Wu Shanshan exclaimed.

The spot where the woman was drowning was far away from the safe swimming area of the beach. It was recognized as a dangerous area and one of the locations where most drowning incidents occurred.

As a result, for a moment, no one dared to rescue her.

“Little Long…someone is drowning. How about we compare who can save her first?” Yan Yi’s eyes lit up with excitement. “It’s a matter of life and death. I assume you won’t ignore it, right? Let’s compare!”

“I’m speechless at you… Comparing while saving people?” Huang Xiaolong shook his head. “Fine, let’s see who can rescue the drowning person faster. Whoever loses, has to leave! Honestly, I’m getting more and more annoyed at you.”

“You!” Yan Yi’s face briefly displayed hatred before he laughed out loud. “Okay, okay! Let’s start! Whoever loses has to get lost!”

Finishing his sentence, Yan Yi took long strides towards the beach.

Huang Xiaolong on the other hand, walked over leisurely.

“Little Long! Hurry and take off your clothes!” From the side, Wu Shanshan followed Huang Xiaolong, urgently calling out, “Look at Yan Yi, he’s already in his swimming trunks… swimming like this will affect your performance, take off your clothes and pants! Hurry up! Don’t lose to him!”

While they were talking, Yan Yi had already dived into the sea with a splash, turning into a peng bird, he quickly swam towards the drowning person.

“Little Long, you should jump into the water now!” Wu Shanshan became more frantic.

“Why should I jump into the water?” Huang Xiaolong asked, looking confused. “Isn’t this about who can save the drowning person first? I don’t need to go into the water to get her ashore.”

“Seriously? Little Long, you… you can’t swim?” Wu Shanshan was dumbfounded.

The next second, Huang Xiaolong started to run towards the beach.
