Tang San's Twin Sister-Chapter 147
Tang Yin stood on the beach, gazing at the peaceful seas before her. "And you really want to tell me that vicious white sharks are swimming around in there?" she asked the sea dragon douluo, sitting behind her on a stone, looking bored.
Having no clue why the ever living he was even present.
Apparently, after her climb, he had decided she was worth paying attention to.
Yu Hua had forgone the beach trip in exchange for some retail therapy, as he called it, which meant he was preparing for his own purple-level test by buying whatever he would need to pass. As luck had it, he only had one test and not a bunch of them to pass.
"Yes, you want to take a look?" He asked her, and she shook her head.
"Not really, I believe you." She had no intention of getting anywhere closer to shark-infested waters if she didn't have to.
She had another issue to deal with first, either way, one that was far more urgent, or else she would have a far bigger problem. No sharky sharks fighting if she didn't solve that.
"But while you are at it. Do you know how to swim?"
He looked at her, puzzled. "Yes." He answered her.
"Are you any good?" She asked him, and he huffed.
"I am a sea spirit master; of course, I am good. I learned to swim before I could walk; it's mandatory here to prevent child drowning. This is an island."
She clapped her hand, drawing out her most compelling smile.
"Wonderful. Would you mind teaching me? I promise I am a quick study."
She suspected having just done what few managed to do to the massive, almost always shirtless man, with more muscle than should be legal, in her opinion. She left him speechless.
"I am sorry?" He asked, and Tang Yin sighed.
"I lived near Nuoding City, Inland, I went to Shrek, also inland, no nearby lakes, and most do not consider it a picture of properness to be actually teaching girls how to swim; few enough boys know how to do that. I never learned how to swim, and I firmly believe it may be a skill I will need to survive in shark-infested waters for longer than ten minutes. No?"
"Yes. You will need to know how to swim."
"Wonderful. I was right; I love being right. You will teach me, no?" She tilted her head, and Hai Long sighed. Realizing he had little way out of this at this point.
"Alright. Come." He rose, walked past her, and then stepped into the water until he was about to sink to his hips. "Come here."
Tang Yin got out of her shoes and removed the light dress she had thrown over herself. She stood there in skin-tight hot pants and what would have been called a sports bra in her former life before following him.
The stump of her missing arm was wrapped in a black bandage-like contraption Yu Hua had wrapped around her.
Hai Long did not react to her appearance as she walked into the water.
"The First thing when swimming is that the water is not your enemy, " he said. "If you are afraid, you will drown, " he said, and she nodded.
"Got it."
"Great, then go horizontal. I will have my arms on your stomach, okay," he said, and she nodded as she gathered her courage and let go, feeling a hand on her stomach. "Good."
She had done this before, just not in this situation. It certainly should not be that difficult to learn how to keep her head above water.
"Now row with your hands, and keep your hips slightly lower. Don't worry about your head, but try to keep your upper body up. Okay?" She blinked. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"That makes utterly no sense." She pointed out.
"You are the one not making sense." He growled back, "Now move your hand; you feel that resistance; that is the that resistance is what keeps you afloat." He said, and she nodded, moving her hand when suddenly a roar echoed through the sky.
Hai Long looked towards the sky, as did Tang Yin. "What the f*ck?" Hai Long said as a small grey dot came closer and closer. Still afloat on his hand, Tang Yin tried getting back on her feet, standing in the water.
She narrowed her eyes as the speck of darkness came closer and closer at rapid speed, and then it dawned on her. "Jiang," she said, and Hai Long looked at her, pointing at the now slightly closer and visible young boy.
"Who?"
"Jiang," she said, and he frowned.
"That is not an answer; that is a...why does the guy look like I just cheated him out of his girlfriend? " he asked when Jiang descended on Hai Long with a roar and a snarl, tackling him aside. A wave caught Tang Yin, who rather desperately tried to stay where she was and not lose her footing.
She was attempting to swim and stay overwater with her head as she was swamped away. The sound of snarls and growls in the distance muted beneath the water.
Suddenly, someone grabbed her by the straps of her top and dragged her over the water. She coughed and stared at a snarling Jiang who was hanging there him by his clothes as Hai Long held him upwards.
"Bastard!" He cursed. "How dare you touch a young woman like that."
"What do you think you are doing here!" Hai Long thundered back. "If this was any other place, the people here would be hunting you! You are no longer the undefeatable spirit beast you once were!"
"I don't care! You will not touch Yin!" he hissed, his features fully dragon human, his dark ashen scales wandering over his body like living beings.
"He was teaching me how to swim!" Yin shouted. Hai Long put her down. "Jiang. It's fine."
Jiang stilled, and Hai Long also put him on his feet. He was taller than she remembered. Jiang had always been taller, but now he was towering, bordering on one-eighty. Yin grabbed his arm with her hand.
"It's fine." She said, and he grumbled, lifting her up out of the water.
"That being said. Boy. I am not interested in children. That is...disgusting."
"Jiang let me down, " she said as Jinag straight marched out of the water and settled her down. Glaring at her and mustering her, he spotted the stump she had wrapped with dark blue fabric.
His hand went to the stump. Stopping short before touching it.
"What happened?" he asked, stopping before touching it. Tang Yin smiled awkwardly.
"I climbed stairs. I passed the sea god exams. My arm is the price I paid to prevent the destruction of my body." She shrugged her shoulder.
