Chapter 430 Always There

For some reason, Qin Mo always chose to sail out to sea when he wanted to discuss things with a woman alone.

Perhaps it's because on the vast ocean, one can express all their innermost thoughts without any reservations!

When Shia made no attempt to shield herself from the rain, Qin Mo noticed her, which led to their encounter on the long street.

Little Shia remained as stubborn as ever, so he had no choice but to leave in silence. The sound of footsteps following closely behind reminded him of the days when he had just captured Shia.

Back then, the little girl followed behind him with such resentment and stubbornness.

The two boarded the small boat, one hoisting the sail and the other steering, and sailed dozens of miles with the wind in silence.

The sails were lowered, the anchor was dropped, and the charcoal fire that rose in the cabin dispelled the chill brought by the autumn rain, illuminating the little girl who was soaking wet and her face full of grievance.

"Give me your shoes, I'll heat them up for you!"

Little Xia shrank her feet and stubbornly pouted her little mouth.

Qin Mo didn't force her, but instead made the charcoal fire burn even brighter, drying out the moisture inside the cabin.

"That year, I met a little girl. She was very brave. On our first meeting, she dared to hit me with a big stick!"

"Her mind was always foggy; she couldn't say where her home was, or even whether she was human."

"Later, I took her home. She was originally my captive, but one day she suddenly said she wanted to be my maid because that way she would get a monthly salary and could buy lots of delicious food!"

Shia sniffed but didn't say anything. Qin Mo poked at the charcoal fire and continued, "She probably had a hard life growing up. She ate whatever she could find in the palace, but she never gained weight. Of course, it would be a good thing if she could gain some weight, given her flat chest and lack of curves."

Little Xia secretly glanced at her small chest, then quietly touched her little bottom, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little more confident.

"She became good friends with Ruoxi, and the two of them would stroll around Danshui City. She must have been very happy during that time because she finally had a smile on her face."

"But for some reason, she often fights with Kai, and she doesn't stop until they're both bruised and battered. Is she stupid? Doesn't she notice that Kai always protects his head and face? Kai endures the pain and hits her face, and she doesn't even realize it."

Shia's eyes flashed with anger. She couldn't believe that Kaihime was so cunning, deliberately slapping her in the face every time.

"Later, she actually wanted to be my personal maid. Didn't she know beforehand what being a personal maid meant in Daxia?"

Shia curled her lip, thinking to herself, "A maidservant, of course! You think I didn't inquire about her beforehand?"

"Later, when I went to the Western Continent, my personal maid naturally accompanied me, and we spent a wonderful time together."

A long silence fell over the cabin as the two men seemed lost in memories of the past.

After a long silence, Qin Mo spoke again, but with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Later, that little maid became very capable and became the Queen of the Sea Clan."

"Her Majesty the Empress's mother approached me and actually wanted me to marry into her family."

"I'm marrying into your sister's family, why don't you just fly to the moon?"

Shia shrank back, glanced cautiously at Qin Mo, and then looked down at her wet shoes.

"And then what! She doesn't reply to my letters. If she doesn't reply, she doesn't reply! Her status has changed, so let's just go our separate ways!"

"Later, Allen told me that my little maid wanted to be my queen. I hadn't even figured it out yet! She came to my door and introduced herself as 'Your Majesty' as soon as we met. Goodness! I'm just a prince. How can I marry an emperor into my family? Do I have to kowtow to her and pay my respects every day?"

Qin Mo became more and more agitated as she spoke, waving her hands and feet and shouting, "That's not all, she dared to kick me, kick me repeatedly! I've never laid a finger on her!"

Qin Mo ranted incoherently for a long time before finally stopping.

Shea only half understood what he was saying, but she understood his last dejected muttering to himself.

"I finally understand that it was all my delusion. My little maid... she's long gone!"

The rain at sea grew heavier and heavier, with large raindrops pounding against the awning with a loud pattering sound, and the stuffy air filled the entire cabin.

Qin Mo felt her clothes being grabbed at the waist. Turning her head, she saw Xiao Xiya, whose nose was twitching incessantly.

"I've always been here! Waaah... Your little maid has always been here! I didn't mean to... Waaah... But you made me lose face..."

"You dared to call yourself Empress in front of others and still lose face... I... I'll beat you to a pulp today..."

Qin Mo's pent-up anger finally erupted. She reached out and dragged Xiao Xiya over, laid her across her lap, and started slapping her little bottom repeatedly.

Shia's small body trembled as if electrocuted. Just as she was about to resist, she heard Qin Mo threaten fiercely, "You dare to fight back?"

Xia stopped moving, pouting as Qin Mo spanked her bottom. As Qin Mo's slaps became lighter and lighter, she suddenly felt that sweet feeling between her and Qin Mo had returned.

"Aren't you going to get up after I'm done beating you? Do you want me to beat you up again?"

Qin Mo calmed down after hitting Xiao Xiya for a while and seeing that she didn't move, so she deliberately made a fierce face to continue to intimidate Xiao Xiya.

This place is dozens of miles away from Danshui City. If the little girl really retaliates, Allen might be able to get there to save him, but he'll definitely suffer a lot. So, it's best to stop while you're ahead!
