Chapter 655 I Must Take You into My Harem
Although he wanted to speak, Qin Ruolan found that he could not make a sound.
As soon as she saw Zhu Feng's gloomy face, her whole body trembled, and she could only make a gurgling sound in her throat and couldn't say a word.
"What did you tell her?!"
Suddenly, Zhu Feng roared!
Qin Ruolan shuddered unconsciously. She took a deep breath and said, "Nothing."
“…”
"I, I just told her...about our past."
“…”
Zhu Feng froze for a moment.
The room was so quiet that he could clearly feel that his breath was choking.
Qin Ruolan looked at him, and tears seemed to well up in her eyes.
The two people looked at each other in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, she heard Zhu Feng mutter, "Things in the past..."
He stood up and walked over step by step.
In the past, when they were so close, even if his face was cold, Qin Ruolan could still feel his heart beating. The aura of this man and everything about him were fascinating.
But now——
But she felt like a wild beast was approaching her.
Qin Ruolan almost subconsciously stepped back, but after only two steps, his back hit the wall behind him.
She had never seen Zhu Feng like this before.
Even though, in their "past", she had angered him and made him angry, but there had never been such an aura that seemed to crush her and frightened her.
He could tear himself apart at any moment.
Zhu Feng walked right up to her and stared straight into her eyes.
His voice was relatively calm, but there was a chilling sense of pressure in his tone as he spoke word by word: "I don't care what you said to her, you'd better pray that nothing happens to her."
“…”
"Pray even more so that I can find her back!"
After saying that, he turned around, walked out quickly, and opened the door.
The people outside heard the roar just now and were waiting outside in fear. Zhu Feng's face was gloomy and his anger had not subsided. He said in a deep voice: "Set off immediately!"

In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
Entering midsummer.
Nan Yan sat by the bed, fanning her grandmother. She watched her slowly fall asleep, then she breathed a sigh of relief, put down the fan, and walked out of the cabin.
As soon as she got on the deck, she felt a river breeze with the coolness of the water blowing towards her, which made her feel much more comfortable.
Nan Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.
The mountains and rivers are majestic and very different from before.
Judging from their journey, they should be in the border area of Shandong now.
Ahead, there are mountains upon mountains.
Faintly, you can hear a loud roar, like thunder clapping on the earth.
What's that sound?
Just as I was feeling somewhat puzzled, I heard Arslan's voice behind me, saying, "That's the Yellow River. The Grand Canal and the Yellow River are about to meet."
When Nan Yan turned around, she saw him walking towards her.
But as soon as she saw him, Nan Yan's face darkened and she immediately turned around and walked towards the cabin.
"Sinanyan,"
Arslan said: "You really don't need to be so alert. I won't hurt you."
Nan Yan stopped and said coldly, "If you had said this before you kidnapped my grandmother, I might have believed it."
“…”
"If you hadn't threatened my grandmother's safety to force me to board your ship, I might still believe it."
“…”
"But now—"
Arslan was silent for a moment, then slowly walked to her side and said, "Have you ever thought that you might really be from the country of Neng?"
“…”
"More likely, it's my relatives."
Nan Yan's thin shoulders twitched slightly.
But she took a deep breath and said, "Nothing is certain yet. I don't want to think about it."
"But perhaps soon you will know for sure."
"Yeah?"
Nan Yan slowly turned around, looked at Arslan's deep face in the sunlight, and said, "Do you have any way to verify my background?"
Arslan said: "My country's wizards have a secret technique that can determine a person's blood relationship."
“…”
"As long as you arrive in Neng, everything will be revealed."
“…”
"Perhaps by then—"
Nan Yan calmly interrupted him and said calmly, "Which country I am from doesn't prevent me from hating crimes and preferring to be upright."
“…”
Arslan folded his arms and looked at her with bright eyes.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I now understand why Zhu Feng would rather risk the wrath of the world to take you into his harem and make you his woman."
“…”
"His hands and feet are quite quick."
Nan Yan frowned.
She vaguely felt that this was not a good thing to say, so she glanced at Arslan, did not respond, and prepared to turn around and go back to the cabin.
But after taking just two steps, they felt that their ship began to turn around.
She was unsteady on her feet and almost fell down.
At this moment, Arslan rushed over, held her in his arms and said, "Be careful!"
Nan Yan was caught off guard and fell into his arms.
She quickly steadied herself and immediately pushed him away.
Arslan still smiled, not at all embarrassed by being resisted, but Nan Yan frowned and looked around, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Their ship was entering another channel.
It looks like we're getting ready to dock.
She said, "Are we going ashore?"
Arslan nodded: "That's right."
"This isn't Peking, is it?"
"Of course not."
"Then you—"
Having said that, she herself hesitated for a moment.
Even if she asked, Arslan would not tell her his plan.
Along the way, she tried to get him to talk more than once, but she never got a single word out of him.
Although this man looks kind, he is not simple-minded at all.
However, she vaguely felt that something was wrong. Logically speaking, from the words that Arslan had used to "tempt" her before, it could be heard that he wanted to take them to the Kingdom of Dian, so they would have to pass through Peking.
And the end of this canal is in Beijing.
But here, they went ashore just at the Shandong border.
Do they have to travel by land for the rest of their journey?
Facts proved her guess. When they slowly reached the shore, Nan Yan took the still dazed Tong Yuhua off the boat. Sure enough, they saw that a pre-arranged carriage was waiting for them at the dock.
After getting on the carriage, they left the pier.
But it's not heading north.
Nan Yan looked at the sun in the sky to determine their direction.
At this time, they were clearly heading west along the official road.
If she was not mistaken, the surging sound she heard on the river before should be the Yellow River ahead. Not far ahead was the confluence of the canal and the Yellow River.
So, they went west, didn't they?
