Chapter 666: Bai Kui vs. Feng Lin (5)
Bai Kui laughed in anger, "Do you know where it comes from?"
The little girl acted as if she was listening attentively, as if the hurt she had just suffered had not left much of a mark on her heart.
I felt better after crying and venting my emotions.
The end is tenacious vitality.
"Besides, you are a girl, and you rashly follow a man you have only met twice. How can you be so dignified? You even dare to ask me to go to Bolai, which is the other side of the ocean, a place you have never heard of before! If I have bad intentions, I will sell you in Bolai and you won't even be able to come back!" Bai Kui spoke more seriously, trying to scare away the ignorant girl.
Feng Lin, "I sent a letter to my family. I am going on a trip with Shopkeeper Bai, who has business dealings with the Luo family in Du'an. If I can't go back, my family will look for you."
"When was it delivered?"
"Before entering this room, I asked the waiter to deliver it. Calculating the time, the letter should be on its way to my house."
This time Bai Kui was really angry and laughed. He leaned over the table and looked down at the girl, his shadow covering her. His aura was oppressive and dangerous.
He chuckled, "Are you trying to scare me? I, Bai Kui, have been wandering the martial arts world for many years, and I've only ever been afraid of one thing: someone seeking revenge..."
Leaning close to the little girl's ear, he scoffed, "Try it and see if I'm scared."
Feng Lin tensed his back, pursed his lips, held his breath, and turned his head away uncomfortably.
The man was too close, his breath was hot and scorching against her ear, and she could even smell the amber scent on his body.
Bai Kui retreated with cold eyes, "Don't bother with men outside, go home quickly."
"If you were a few years older, you would be my father, but you are not a man." The little girl stared at the corner of the table and spoke clearly.
"..." What kind of words are these? Just because he can accept being her father doesn't mean he's not a man? Damn!
The little girl continued, "I ran away from home secretly this time. My father wanted to marry me to a man about your age, but I didn't want to. If I go back now, I will definitely not be able to avoid this marriage."
Bai Kui crossed his arms and stared at her for a long moment before speaking again, "Because he's old?"
"No, being older doesn't matter. He's actually a very good man, good in every way, but I'm not right for him. I want a husband like my father—my father, who only had my mother for his entire life." Feng Lin smiled faintly. Her elder and second sisters had once described her as romantic but clear-headed. "But men with prominent family backgrounds often take having many wives and concubines for granted."
Wen Renjing couldn't bear to have only one woman by his side for his entire life.
Even if he wanted to, his identity and environment meant that he was destined not to be able to do it.
The most important point is that although she admires Wen Renjing, she has no feelings for him.
It’s not that Wenren Jing is not good enough, it’s just that they are really not suitable.
She was influenced by the love of her father, the emperor, and her mother, the empress, and grew up in a warm and peaceful environment. She yearns for a peaceful life.
As for the King of Mobei, he is always surrounded by blood and gore.
So she didn't get married. If she really wanted to get married in the future, she would choose the same path as her elder and second sisters, and choose a prince consort and marry a princess.
Bai Kui stared at the faint smile on the little girl's lips, raised his eyebrows, then reached out and picked her up and walked her out of the room.
I just remembered that this is his room, and if anyone should leave, it should be the little girl. "We'll leave tomorrow. The journey is long and full of troubles. Whether you can come back alive depends on your fate. I'll give you one night to think it over."
The door slammed shut.
"Knock, knock—" the little girl knocked on the door. "Hey, you just said you were only afraid of one thing. What is it?"
Bai Kui took off his outer robe and threw it on the bed frame, then he turned over and lay down on the bed, closing his eyes, "--I'm afraid I don't have money."
After Feng Lin returned to his room, he lay on the table, covering his mouth with his hands, and laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking.
When the sun rose the next day, the two were already on the passenger ship heading to the port.
Bai Kui stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, gazing at the red sun rising from the horizon with a calm expression.
I couldn't understand why I would make an exception and bring a little girl I met by chance to travel to Bolai.
He is famous for his generosity and righteousness in the underworld, but in fact he never does useless things and never bothers to make friends with people who are useless to him.
Is it really a good father to take a little girl like that with him?
"Boundless, vast and boundless... This is the sea." Footsteps were heard on the deck, a faint fragrance wafted in, and soon a tall figure appeared beside him.
Feng Lin had a bright smile on his face and looked at the ocean in wonder.
The sea breeze blowing on her face had a strange salty smell, which was not pleasant, but it was extremely fresh to her.
The huge passenger ship is like a small boat, appearing extremely small on the sea, and the people on board are even smaller.
The azure sea is calm and deep. Beneath the slightly rippling surface lies enormous energy and hidden dangers.
The sense of unknown brings people an extremely fresh and exciting experience.
Feng Lin subconsciously turned her head and saw the mature and tough face of the man. She had an intuition that the man beside her was like the sea in front of her, dangerous and deep, but calm and reliable.
"The sunrise over the sea is so beautiful." Feng Lin smiled and looked towards the red sun in front of him. The red sun was half submerged in the sea water, and the red light spread obliquely, outlining the light figures of seabirds.
"The sunset at sea is also beautiful. At dusk, the sky and the sea are filled with colorful sunset clouds." Bai Kui retracted his gaze and glanced at the thin clothes on the little girl. "The temperature difference between day and night is huge at sea. Remember to put on more clothes and don't get sick and cause trouble for me."
"What if it causes trouble?"
"Then I'll sell you to a foreign country. A princess from Middle-earth will fetch a good price at any price."
Feng Lin's eyelids shrank, "How do you know I'm a princess?"
Bai Kui folded his arms and chuckled, "You think you've covered it up well? The first time we met, you asked for my boat. The word 'requisition' isn't something an ordinary person would say. I knew then that you were a daughter of an official, and your status was quite high. Besides, you ran away to avoid marriage. As far as I know, there's only one person in Du'an City of your age who's been offered a marriage. Am I right? The Third Princess of Xiling, Feng Lin?"
Feng Lin, “…”
"Every failure makes you wiser. From now on, think more before speaking and acting, young girl who is not very worldly-wise." The man left this sentence and leisurely returned to the cabin.
Feng Lin was still on the deck, her mood fluctuating. She quietly looked at the red sun rising slowly in the sky. After a long time, she suddenly smiled and felt relieved.
Men who do business are really cunning, and she feels inferior to them.
This trip was certainly dangerous, but it was also rewarding.
Every failure makes you wiser, doesn't it?
When the Bai family's transport ship went out to sea, Wen Renjing also received the news that Princess Fenglin was missing.
The black-clad spy knelt before him, not daring to look up. "After receiving the master's instructions, I immediately sent a pigeon to our men, ordering them to secretly protect the princess. However, we were still a step too late. By the time they received the order, the princess had already disappeared. I have failed to perform my duties. Please punish me, master!"
Wen Renjing clenched his fists, veins bulging on the backs of his hands, his eyes filled with rage. "Call the palace's secret guards and immediately go to Black Mountain to search for me! Capture every bandit roaming this area and torture them severely! If we can't find the princess, I'll boil their skin and tear their bones apart!"
He closed his eyes tightly and continued, "If you find the princess, bring her back secretly. No information is allowed to be leaked to anyone!"
"Yes!" Having luckily escaped punishment temporarily, the spy immediately retreated without any delay.
If the princess had really been kidnapped and disappeared, I dare not imagine what would have happened to her.
Even if nothing has happened, it is still difficult to resist the fear of people's words.
The master blocked the news in order to protect the princess's reputation.
He must get this matter done properly, only then can he atone for his sins!
