Chapter 91 Can I Stop Talking About Him?
When Chen Jichuan returned to the deck railing, Cheng Huang had already retreated to the cockpit door and continued to observe secretly.
However, Shang Youqing soon gave him a lukewarm look, so he had to look away obediently.
"Although I don't know what Cheng Huang said to Colonel Shen, Cheng Huang always likes to exaggerate when he speaks. Colonel Shen doesn't need to take his words to heart." Shang Youqing turned around and said to Shen Jichuan.
As Shen Jichuan said "OK", he tilted his straight back and took off his military jacket.
Shang Youqing narrowed her eyes. Just when she thought Shen Jichuan was going to give her the coat again, the next second, Shen Jichuan picked up a corner of the coat and threw it over the railing. The cold sea breeze that was originally heading towards the deck was caught in the coat, bulging.
Shang Youqing looked at this scene, was silent for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud.
Chen Jichuan was still holding his coat to block the wind. When he heard the laughter, he turned his head and glanced at her, "What are you laughing at?"
Shang Youqing's eyebrows curved slightly, "I suddenly remembered an interesting thing that happened a long time ago."
"Tell me about it."
"When I was a kid, Cheng Huang often took me to Jiutian for outings. Shuijing was one of the places Cheng Huang and I often went to. For a while, I met a playmate there who was a few years older than me."
"I still remember the first time I met him. He was a child secretly sitting in the water realm crying. I asked him why he was crying, and he told me that it was because his elders at home disciplined him very strictly. He had to go back and forth to Jiutian for training every day. One day, the elders gave him a torn bag and asked him to go to Jiutian to fill it with anything. He ended up filling it with wind and returned home with a bag full of it. When he got home, he was scolded and cried..."
Shang Youqing's eyes fell on the bulging jacket he was carrying outside the guardrail, and he couldn't help laughing again, "Just like this."
Chen Jichuan raised his eyebrows and said, "You remember? I thought you had forgotten me completely."
Upon hearing this, Shang Youqing's expression changed slightly. He turned to look at him again, looking up and down at Shen Jichuan in front of him, "...is it you?"
"Of course it's me," Shen Jichuan lowered his eyes and deliberately lowered his voice to scare her, "As for the broken bag you mentioned, it was given to me by my father."
Shang Youqing remained calm and composed: "I didn't mean to offend the God of Wind."
Chen Jichuan looked at her for a moment without making any mistake, and finally smiled, "Okay, I forgive you."
After making sure that the wind around Shang Youqing had weakened considerably, he tucked his coat back in and said, "I had been planning to return to find you after I finished my training, but I didn't expect you to come here first."
"I did it for—"
"I know you came to me to borrow a spiritual weapon." Chen Jichuan's handsome features were slightly smiling, and he tried to comfort her, "I didn't misunderstand anything. Shang Youqing, don't worry."
Shang Youqing looked at him for a while, said "Oh", and looked away.
While they were chatting, the ship soon arrived at the coordinates of the shipwreck.
Shang Youqing went down the ladder to the step closest to the sea surface. He wanted to scoop up some sea water to check it out, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was blocked by Shen Jichuan beside him, "I'll do it."
Chen Jichuan filled a bottle with water and pointed to the stairs to order Shang Youqing, "Go inside the cabin."
Shang Youqing had to temporarily withdraw her gaze from the bottle in his hand, and followed him into the cabin. When Chen Jichuan handed the bottle to her, she immediately took it, poured out a little, put it on the palm of her hand, carefully detected the ingredients with her spiritual power, and then sniffed it closely.
"The smell is very faint, but it is indeed the trace of a sea dragon swimming by. It has not left this sea area yet."
Chen Jichuan took out a few tissues to wipe her hands, "Does this mean that it wants to repeat its old tricks and hijack the next freighter?"
Shang Youqing poured the seawater back into the bottle, took the tissue and said "thank you". After drying his fingers, he still felt a little cold, so he simply put his hands in his pockets to cover them. He nodded and said, "I guess so."
Shen Jichuan frowned slightly: "We can't let it stir up trouble again."
Shang Youqing pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I've come up with an idea."
It was rare for Shen Jichuan to see her eyes light up a little, "What?"
"We can disguise ourselves as a passing cargo ship and lure the sea dragon into revealing itself."
Shen Jichuan considered the plan and looked at her: "It's feasible."
They immediately returned to the ship and tried to restore it as much as possible by referring to the size of the previous sunken cargo ship and the number of containers.
Cheng Huang watched Chen Jichuan and his men busying around, and became more and more satisfied. He couldn't help but go back to Shang Youqing and tell him secretly.
"When I get back, I'll tell the priest that the children of Feng Bo and Yu Shi are the best. After working hard outside for so many years, not only have they not grown up badly, but they're even more popular than when they were little!"
Shang Youqing: "...Didn't you say you didn't know him?"
"This," Cheng Huang choked, "I just remembered it too."
Shang Youqing lowered his eyes coldly, "Cheng Huang, stop talking nonsense to others."
Cheng Huang got furious on the spot, "What are you doing? That damned dragon hasn't gotten its comeuppance yet, why are you punishing yourself? Fenghuang, I won't let you belittle yourself—"
Before he could finish his words, Shang Youqing raised his eyes and looked at him calmly.
For the first time, she brought up a related topic, but her voice was very calm: "I don't feel sorry for myself, I just feel disgusted."
She said this and became quiet again.
He slowly closed his eyes, steadied his breath, and finished his words, "It's really disgusting. Can we just stop talking about him?"
Cheng Huang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but walked forward with red eyes to hug Fenghuang, stroking her back, his voice trembling with anxiety, "Okay, okay, it's Cheng Huang's fault, I won't mention it again, Fenghuang, don't cry..."
Shang Youqing's shoulders slumped slightly, and she leaned quietly against Cheng Huang's shoulder for a moment. She moved her red lips lazily, her expression returning to its usual calm. "Let go! Are you trying to strangle me to death?"
Cheng Huang then let her go reluctantly.
Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Chen Jichuan coming from the cargo hold. He hesitated, afraid of upsetting Fenghuang again. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything and retreated to the side dejectedly.
Shen Jichuan gave Cheng Huang a strange look, "What's wrong with him?"
Shang Youqing said with a sullen face: "I scolded her and she cried."
Chen Jichuan's eyes arched slightly, "...Shang Youqing, are you so fierce?"
...Shang Youqing stopped talking nonsense and pointed to the cargo hold above and asked, "Is the arrangement almost done?"
"Well, it's almost done." When talking about business, Chen Jichuan's expression returned to seriousness. "We'll set off in half an hour. For safety reasons, I'll have the reconnaissance ship follow behind, and there will be only three of us on the freighter."
