"Who?" Xiao Changhen's tone became a little colder.
"Excuse me, sir. Lunch on the ship is ready. Would you like to eat in the lobby or have it brought to you?" An attentive voice responded from outside the door.
Xiao Changhen did not answer, but turned around to ask Yan Baibai what he meant.
"Let's eat in the lobby. I want to go out and take a look." Yan Baibai said.
Xiao Changhen told the answer to the person outside the door, put away the map on the table, and walked out of the room with Yan Baibai.
As expected, another accident happened when the two went out for dinner this time.
This time, the unexpected incident was caused by their appearance. On their way to the lobby for dinner, they were spotted.
Because of his outstanding appearance, Xiao Changhen would be stared at twice every time he went out during the day. He thought this was normal, so he didn't care too much about the gazes of people on the boat, let alone pay any attention to them.
Yan Baibai, on the other hand, had lived in the world of immortal cultivation for a long time, and she had been surrounded by all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women. So she didn't think there was anything strange about her current appearance, and didn't care much about it.
If Yan Baibai, who knows humans better, could notice, she would definitely find that among these gazes, in addition to the human instinct to pursue beautiful things, there are several malicious gazes. But Yan Baibai is just an ordinary human girl now. She cannot distinguish these, and because she is focusing all her attention on appreciating the scenery on the shore, she did not feel the bad gazes.
So, when the two of them finished lunch and walked towards the room, several quiet figures followed them. These figures obviously had some skills. Even Xiao Changhen only noticed the footsteps behind him when he reached the door of the room and the surroundings became quiet.
However, it was too late. When the two men turned around, the people behind them also stood up openly. Each of them held a shining long sword in his hand. They did not hide anything on their faces, and it was obvious that they had great confidence in their skills.
"Who are you?" Xiao Changhen blocked Yan Baibai behind him, his tone cold and distant.
"We're hired by the captain to protect the ship. You don't have to be afraid." The bearded leader looked at the two beautiful women opposite him, wiped his nonexistent saliva with his hand, and continued, "I suspect a thief has broken into your room. If it's convenient, let us go in and take a look!"
Being constantly scanned up and down by the lustful gazes from the opposite side, Xiao Changhen didn't know what trap he had encountered. His eyes suddenly became even colder. He seemed to be trapped in some bad memories, and then suddenly burst out and rushed towards the opposite people.
The martial arts skills of the men on the other side were not low, and they were not on the same level as the big men in the alley when Sanchao returned home last time. This time, Xiao Changhen was stabbed twice before he subdued the men to the ground.
"Let me go. Do you know who I am? My sister is the eighteenth concubine of the captain of this ship. If you dare to... " Before the bearded man could finish his words, Xiao Changhen touched his neck cleanly and neatly.
The eyes of the other accomplices were filled with terror. They either screamed or begged for mercy, but in the end, they were still killed by Xiao Changhen.
Xiao Changhen didn't notify anyone, but threw them all into the river. He did all this with a blank expression on his face, not even looking back at Yan Baibai, and then returned to his room in silence.
When Yan Baibai came to his senses and returned to the room, he was caught off guard by the bronze skin and the back with obvious muscle lines under Xiao Changhen's thick long hair, but it was quickly covered by his clothes. When he turned around, he saw Yan Baibai at the door, and the cold expression on his face melted away.
"Baibai, did I scare you?" Xiao Changhen stared at Yan Baibai's face and asked softly, "They are not good people. Will you stay away from me because of this?"
"No." Yan Baibai turned around and closed the door. Then he dug out some styptic powder and bandages, pulled Xiao Changhen over to the table and sat down. He ordered, "Come, take off your clothes. I'll treat your wound."
"No need..." Xiao Changhen quickly refused.
"Take it off!" Yan Baibai said in a firm tone.
The two persisted for a while, and when Xiao Changhen saw Yan Baibai's eyes beginning to blur with tears, he finally compromised and obediently turned around and took off his clothes, revealing the wound on his back.
Xiao Changhen turned around and missed Yan Baibai's eyes that immediately returned to normal, and also missed the surprised expression on Yan Baibai's face when she saw his wound and her mouth opened in shock.
Yan Baibai thought they had gotten into trouble this time, but Xiao Changhen went to talk to the captain himself and left, and nothing happened after that. After that, the two of them didn't eat in the lobby anymore, always having someone take them to their room.
After half a month on the boat, Yan Baibai suddenly felt seasick and then developed a high fever. In her daze, Yan Baibai seemed to hear Xiao Changhen's sigh. Yan Baibai wanted to say something, but she didn't have the strength to speak and soon fell asleep.
When Yan Baibai woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed with an open window in front of her. Outside the window was a branch of white pear blossoms in full bloom. A few birds flew by, startling a large number of flowers that fell. A few petals flew into the room and landed on the table in front of the window.
This is not a boat!
Yan Baibai was so shocked that she sat up immediately, and then she felt a strong sense of dizziness. Yan Baibai gritted her teeth and endured it, then quickly got out of bed and came to the table in front of the window. On the table was a well-sealed letter, and on the letter were a few white pear blossom petals.
