Chapter 406: The Fiancé Ran Away with the Most Beautiful Girl in the World (31)
Seven days later, Ji Feibai's injuries had almost healed, so Xiao Yihan and his group decided to hurry up and find Liuyu Island. After all, the Nitian Cult was still eyeing them covetously, and they didn't know when they would send people to hunt them down again. They couldn't wait any longer.
So Xiao Yihan found Mu Changqing and made an appointment with him for the time to go out to sea. While they were talking, Shu Shichu was listening nearby. Le Wanrou was also present, but she disliked Shu Shichu even more because she was resentful of Shu Shichu for not saving her when she was in trouble.
Originally, when Mu Changqing told them that he wanted to take Shu Shichu out to sea, they all disagreed. But later, Mu Changqing said something to them and they actually agreed. Although they still didn't look happy with Shu Shichu, they finally tacitly agreed to let her go with them.
Knowing that it would take more than a month to go to sea, Shu Shichu hurried to the street to buy some daily necessities, including food. She had everything in her companion space, but she couldn't just take it out for no reason, otherwise wouldn't it obviously arouse suspicion?
So she had to prepare some smoke bombs here in advance. When she saw someone selling bacon and hams on the street, she was overjoyed and immediately bought all the remaining ten pounds of bacon and seven or eight hams. The boss was so happy that he generously gave her a small discount and asked her to come back to buy more.
Mu Changqing frowned as he carried the dry goods for Shu Shichu and said, "I have prepared enough food for dozens of people to eat for two months. You really don't need to buy more for yourself."
"I like to eat these, and it's not like I can't take them on the boat, so what's the harm in buying more?" Shu Shichu said.
Mu Changqing couldn't persuade her, so he could only do the hard work and help her carry things.
So when they set out for the dock the next day, Xiao Yihan and his group were stunned to see Mu Changqing's hands were full of things and he was carrying a large bag on his back. On the contrary, Shu Shichu was only holding two bags in his hands and was walking leisurely.
"Come on board. I have arranged the best captain and crew. After you get on board, just tell them the course and let them find the route to Liuyu Island professionally." Mu Changqing said to Xiao Yihan.
"Okay." Xiao Yihan was stunned for a moment before answering. The lofty image of Mu Changqing as a martial arts master in his mind had been completely shattered. All he could see was Mu Changqing carrying a lot of baggage. Perhaps it was too shocking. He was in a daze even when getting on the boat. If Le Wanrou hadn't been by his side all the time, he might have missed a step and fallen into the water.
"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded." Le Wanrou asked him worriedly.
"It's nothing, it's just... I'm a little surprised by the true character of Mr. Mu. I didn't expect he is so kind and gentle to women." Xiao Yihan said.
"Hasn't he always been very kind to women? Otherwise, how could he have so many female confidantes?" Ji Feibai sneered with a pale face. Even though his wounds had not yet healed completely, it did not prevent him from despising a "romantic and passionate" man like Mu Changqing.
After that, he showed Le Wanrou his loyalty in a gentle manner: "Rou'er, a man like Master Mu is not suitable to be a husband. He is too sentimental and easily attracts many other women. I am different. If I like a girl, I will definitely only like her and treat her well. I will not care about anyone else."
Who among those present could not hear such suggestive words? Of course, even if they heard it, they could only pretend not to understand, otherwise, what chance would they have if they were to tell the truth? So Xiao Yihan also said to Le Wanrou: "Brother Ji has some truth in what he said, but there are not many men in the world who are as passionate as Master Mu, at least we are not."
Le Wanrou blushed, turned away shyly, and said, "Whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky."
…
Shu Shichu didn't know that others were busy expressing their love. She took out her flower pots of vegetables and tomatoes and placed them on the windowsill. They would depend on them for fresh vitamins during the one or two months on the ship.
Mu Changqing helped her to arrange these things with a smile and tears in his eyes. Although he didn't think that the vegetables she planted could survive at sea, he still listened to her orders and did these useless work without complaint.
After working for most of an hour, the two of them finally dealt with the personal luggage they brought on board. Shu Shichu took out two round, red apples, gave one to Mu Changqing, and ate one himself.
"Such good apples are long-lasting and can be saved for later. It would be such a waste to eat them right after we got on the boat." Mu Changqing said as he looked at the juicy apple in his hand.
Shu Shichu took a bite with a crunch and said, "Then keep it. I won't force you to eat it now." There were so many apples in her space that she couldn't finish them and they all fell to the ground.
"No, I'll eat now." Mu Changqing changed his mind for some reason and decided to eat on the spot.
For a moment, the only sound here was the crunching sound of the two people eating apples, but they did not feel bored or awkward, because they were sitting on the lounge chairs outside the door, facing the vast ocean. Just looking at the blue sea and sky and eating sweet fruits was already a pleasure.
"This ship is yours, right?" Shu Shichu suddenly asked. She heard what Mu Changqing and Xiao Yihan said before boarding the ship. Since the captain and crew are his, then this large ship must be his as well.
"Yes." Mu Changqing admitted it readily, and he did not hide his intention from Shu Shichu.
Shu Shichu was immediately very surprised: "You actually have a ship! Aren't you just a martial artist famous for your martial arts? How come you even have a ship?"
When Mu Changqing heard her words, he couldn't help laughing, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Can't people in the martial arts world have sea vessels?"
"It's not impossible..." Shu Shichu said, "Do you really have any other hidden identities?"
"Is that right?" Mu Changqing himself seemed unsure. "I have a ship because my family has overseas business."
"You actually have a family?!" Shu Shichu was really surprised at this moment. She thought Mu Changqing only had a master or something like that. After all, the rumors in the martial arts world did not say that he had a family.
"I don't have any family. Did I just pop out of a stone?" Mu Changqing said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I just never mention my family. After all, the martial world is not peaceful. Although I like to be free and easy in the martial world, I don't want to involve my family in these dangers."
Shu Shichu immediately understood. Wasn't this the same reason why she changed her name and disguised herself to get out into the underworld? So she immediately stopped asking questions. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask again?
