Chapter 209 Let’s get on board and return to Yandu
Xie Zhan looked at the woman he had been thinking about day and night, with a passion surging in his eyes that almost burned people.
Even though she was not the face in his mind, he recognized those eyes, which were the eyes of Manluo that had entangled him in countless dreams.
"I finally found you—Huang Ying!"
He took a half step forward, stretched out his long arms and pulled Manluo into his arms, deliberately emphasizing the word "Huangying". He felt the woman in his arms stiffen slightly, and heard her low laugh against his chest:
"Second Prince...you're holding me too tightly."
Manluo said this, but a touch of emotion arose in her heart.
This man was the second prince of Nan Zhao. He had only met her a few times, yet he brought a fleet across the ocean to find her. Even though he knew that she was Zi Sha, he still deliberately concealed her identity to prevent Helian Feng's men from killing her on the way.
His feelings for her are evident to all.
Perhaps it was because she had stayed on the island for too long. When she saw her acquaintances for the first time, and her good sister Xiyan was standing beside Xie Zhan, looking at her quietly, a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
It turned out that there were two people in this world who cared about her safety. At this moment, her eyes were wet with tears.
Yu Xiezhan, especially Xiyan who was beside him.
"I'm glad you're okay!"
Xie Zhan whispered, gently patting her back with his palm, as if soothing a frightened cub.
“That’s enough!”
Chu Jin stared at Manluo's small hands, which were pressed against Xie Zhan's chest, and his eyes suddenly froze - that hand, Lin Ye was still tightly hugging his narrow waist, whispering his name over and over again by the campfire.
He felt a sudden sweetness in his throat, golden lights flickered before his eyes, and his voice became terribly hoarse.
"Take your hands off me!"
Before he finished speaking, Chu Jin took a few steps forward and pulled Manluo out of Xie Zhan's arms:
"I also want to thank Second Prince Nan Zhao for crossing the ocean to rescue you. However, if you want to reminisce about the past, please return to the ship. Doing so in public would be too much of an eyesore!"
Xie Zhan stared at Manluo in Chu Jin's arms. Seeing the ambiguous look between the two, he didn't dare to think about what had happened to this pair of single men and women on the island in the past month.
He suddenly felt dissatisfied with the National Master of Apocalypse. If that was true, the jealous man in front of him was nothing but a despicable person who was tempted by beauty and was not worthy of Manluo's lifelong trust.
He sneered and raised his eyebrows:
"Master, why are you so angry? Huang Ying was sent by me. She's been frightened for over a month, and I haven't even allowed her to say a few kind words of comfort. You're meddling too much!"
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a fight, there was a strong smell of gunpowder in their words.
Xiyan watched quietly from the side. Looking at the Poison King who was once so arrogant, vicious and lonely, she could see that he would be jealous at times. Then she saw her good sister Manluo, who was caught between two men with a look of deception on her face, and she couldn't help but find it funny.
However, as soon as the thought changed, her heart suddenly felt a pang.
She and Manluo were just death warriors of the Regent's Palace who were infected with the Red Loyalty Gu. Whether it was the Second Prince of Nanzhao or the Poison King Chu Jin, they were probably not the right men for Manluo.
"Alright!" Manluo was impatient. She broke free from Chu Jin's restraints and boarded the boat first.
"Second Prince, Imperial Master, instead of sitting here and drinking the sea breeze, it would be better to return to the human world as soon as possible!"
Staring at Manluo's empty outer skirt, Chu Jin knew that there was nothing inside. If another man saw it... He thought for a moment, strode forward, and followed Manluo onto the boat.
Xie Zhan and Xiyan looked at each other, and Xiyan saw a hint of worry and unwillingness in Xie Zhan's eyes.
He calmed himself down and smiled faintly at Xi Yan:
"Get on board and return to Yandu."
The sailors' wooden oars beat the waves, and several large ships gradually left the shore and started their homeward journey.
Manluo was wrapped in the cabin curtain that Chu Jin had torn off when he entered the cabin. In just a few seconds, he wrapped her up like a dumpling, tightly and airtight.
She cursed and complained about his "good intentions", but accepted them silently with a smile.
When the anchor was raised, Manluo suddenly ran out of the cabin, holding the railing and looking towards the direction of Yunxi Island.
Her fingertips were still stained with the fine sand from the coast of Yunxi Island.
After a while, she sighed softly and entered the cabin without any reluctance.
The sound of waves gradually faded away. It was Chu Jin who slowly walked out after Manluo entered the cabin. Looking at the Yunxi Island that was gradually becoming blurred on the horizon, he suddenly felt his chest swelling.
The bonfire in the cave, the footprints on the beach, and those shameless days and nights have all become small dots between the sea and the sky.
Even last night, he secretly carved the name Chu Yue under the stone wall of the cave.
I don’t know why, but he, who once despised women and was so cold, would one day feel a sense of emptiness in his chest for a woman he once thought was coquettish and wanton.
He suddenly remembered that last night when they were making love, she screamed:
"It would be nice to be stuck here forever!"
Chu Jin clenched the orange cloth in his hand and gently brought it close to his nose to sniff. It still had her faint body fragrance. Suddenly, he gritted his teeth and cursed:
"Zisha, Manluo! You little devil who devours people without leaving any bones behind!"
