Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

Chapter 577 - 575: Zhang Songkang

"Divine Temple?"

Hearing what Zhang Songkang said, a trace of doubt flashed in both Yan Ya and Yan Tong’s eyes.

"From our side, it does look a bit like the layout of a Dragon Country temple."

"But judging from the patterns and colors on the outer walls, it shouldn’t belong to either Buddhism or Taoism..."

Yan Jun nodded slightly and chimed in.

As people on the deck called out to their friends, more and more people squeezed onto the deck, all curiously looking at that blood-colored building.

Some even directly took out their phones and recorded the scene before their eyes.

"That little island is uninhabited. How did a building suddenly appear there?"

"So strange! I sailed this route just last month, and there was nothing there."

"Forget last month, I was here just yesterday, and I still didn’t see that building."

"What’s that supposed to mean? Did this building just suddenly appear?"

"Fuck! This is way too fantastical, isn’t it?"

"A building that appeared out of nowhere—do you think there might be treasure inside?"

"There probably is, right? But I feel like there’s a good chance it’s dangerous in there!"

"Hurry up and get the captain to stop the ship! I can’t wait to go in and explore!"

"No no no, that’s way too dangerous!"

"A building that showed up all of a sudden definitely has danger in it. For everyone’s safety, we should leave here as soon as possible!"

"I also demand we stop! What if I find gold in there?"

"Stop the ship! We want it stopped! Adventure! We want to go on an adventure!"

"Haha, I’m a YouTube streamer! If I can go in and explore, I’ll definitely blow up!"

"Everyone, calm down!"

On the deck, the arguing grew louder and louder.

Some people demanded the ship stop so they could go into this suddenly appeared building to explore and shoot videos.

The others were somewhat resistant.

With a building that appeared out of nowhere like this, who knew what kind of danger might be hidden inside.

And looking at those blood-red outer walls only made them more certain of what they were thinking.

Before long, the captain of the cruise ship was also alerted.

The captain was a burly white man in his fifties with a curly mustache.

His bare arms looked thicker than most people’s thighs.

Following behind him were the second officer, third officer, and several others from the ship.

When they saw the blood-colored building on the island, all of them couldn’t help freezing in place.

"When I passed here a week ago, there was no such building!"

The captain frowned, his face grave.

"Exactly! On our last voyage, this island was still completely empty..."

The second officer beside him nodded in reply.

Just as they were all looking puzzled, the passengers who had been clamoring to go exploring came crowding over.

Their request was simple: stop the ship, then send down a small boat to take them onto the island.

The captain naturally refused such a request sternly.

He had no idea what this suddenly appeared building represented.

But he had to be responsible for the safety of the passengers on board.

If these idiot thrill-seekers had any kind of accident, the ones in trouble wouldn’t just be him but also the company behind him.

So whether for the company’s sake, for his own sake, or for the safety of these idiots, he had to turn them down.

Faced with the captain’s refusal, these "explorers" could only curse a few times in frustration.

Other than that, there was nothing they could do.

They couldn’t very well just jump off the deck straight into the sea, could they?

If they really did that, then they’d truly be idiots!

Still, as they watched the island and that strange blood-colored building being gradually left behind, they felt extremely unwilling.

Some had even already made up their minds: once the cruise ship docked, they would come right back here.

To the three members of the Yan Family, the blood-colored building on the island was just a small episode in the journey, nothing worth paying special attention to.

But Zhang Songkang’s gaze remained locked on that island the whole time.

Watching the island grow more and more distant, he couldn’t help letting out a sigh.

Seeing this, Yan Jun smiled and said, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!"

"Everyone’s saying there was nothing on the island before, yet today a building suddenly appeared."

"Judging from those blood-red outer walls, there’s a good chance something dangerous is hidden in that building..."

"Maybe."

Zhang Songkang gave a perfunctory smile at that.

His attention seemed to have been completely drawn away by that blood-colored building.

Even after the cruise ship had sailed far away, he still looked listless.

He didn’t even have the mood to check out pretty women anymore.

After chatting a bit more with Yan Tong, Zhang Songkang excused himself with "not feeling well" and went back to the cabin alone.

Watching his departing back, Yan Tong shook her head and laughed. "Men are really strange!"

"Just now he was leering, and now he’s all dejected, like his mom just died!"

"Ha... haha..."

Yan Jun didn’t want to comment on others behind their backs, so he could only let out two awkward laughs.

"Are you curious too?"

Yan Ya lowered her head to look at her daughter and asked softly.

"No."

Qingyue shook her head very decisively and said solemnly, "My senior brother said curiosity killed the cat!"

Hearing this, Yan Ya was momentarily stunned, then, unusually, a faint smile appeared on her face.

"Your senior brother is right."

She nodded lightly, her gaze drifting out toward the boundless sea.

...

A day later, the cruise ship slowly docked at the final stop of this journey, the northernmost city of Malaya—Guda.

Just as the four of them from the Yan Family stepped off the ship, they suddenly heard someone calling out behind them.

"Miss Yan... Miss Yan..."

The four turned their heads and saw Zhang Songkang calling out to them while dragging his suitcase.

"Old Zhang, do you still need something?"

Yan Tong asked with a charming smile.

"I... I..."

Zhang Songkang glanced at Yan Ya, then stammered, "I’m guessing this is your first time in Guda, so you don’t have a guide."

"I’ve been to Guda many times before, so I’m fairly familiar with it."

"So I thought I’d recommend myself and act as your guide, show you around for a day..."

"Sure!"

Before Yan Ya could say anything, Yan Tong had already nodded in agreement with a bright smile.

Yan Ya gave Yan Tong a look but said nothing. She just took her daughter’s little hand and turned to leave.

"Seventh Sis... Seventh Sis, wait for me!"

As the only man on the trip, Yan Jun had naturally taken on the heavy responsibility of carrying luggage for his sisters.

He shouted as he chased after them, dragging several suitcases behind him.

Seeing how foolish he looked, Yan Tong couldn’t help but burst out laughing with a "pfft."

With her lush, full figure, her laughter was like the earth shaking and flowers swaying.

This made Zhang Songkang next to her stare blankly, completely entranced...
