Chapter 431 Back on the Boat
Beichen is just like that. He won’t behave himself unless he scares her.
After all, she was a woman. She would neither die nor let others see her naked body, so she had to give in. However, she was still cursing: "Are you still a man? You bully a woman like this."
"Will you tell me or not?" Yan Qingqiu asked her in a cold tone.
Beichen looked around and when he was sure that no one could lend him a helping hand, he had no choice but to tell Bai Yucheng's whereabouts.
An Yan immediately went to the underground dungeon to look for someone.
Bai Yucheng was trapped in the center of the lake, at the bottom of the lake, in a pitch-black place where he couldn't see his hand in front of him. As the lake water entered little by little, it would completely swallow him up.
Now the water was submerging his chest, and the area below his chest had become numb. It started with swelling, then soreness, and then he began to lose consciousness.
Bai Yucheng didn't know how long he could live, and he could see that the lake water was approaching him recklessly, and at an increasingly faster speed. Perhaps he would really die.
Originally he could have escaped with his own ability, but Beichen used a trick on him and hammered a nail into his neck, causing him to lose all his internal strength and become just like an ordinary person.
But he didn't know that his sacrifice was in vain, the people outside were still being bullied, and he would die soon.
Bai Yucheng was willing to accept defeat and he only blamed himself for not being capable enough.
Suddenly, the lake water seemed to be frozen, and began to gradually recede, retreating to the waist, retreating to the knees, retreating to the ankles, and finally retreating without a drop left. He could clearly see that his body had become bloated.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of him. It was An Yan. She looked Bai Yucheng up and down, and then asked, "Are you okay?"
"Thank you for coming to save me, but I'm afraid my body is in bad condition." Bai Yucheng sighed.
Another light appeared. It was Yan Qingqiu, who came down to carry someone. He said, "Don't worry about that. Is there anything that An Yan can't cure? I'll take you out right away." As he spoke, he cut off the heavy iron chains that bound Bai Yucheng and took him out.
An Yan also left with them and returned to the shore.
Li Rongsen saw that although Bai Yucheng looked haggard, he was still a handsome man. He also saw An Yan squatting on the ground taking his pulse.
Yan Qingqiu said to Anyan, "Since we have a big ship, why not just take him back to West City and treat him."
"Then who is watching here?" An Yan asked.
Yan Qingqiu first glanced at Li Rongsen, thinking that it would be impossible to let him stay. Then he saw Kong Yun and said, "Let him stay here. I think he is definitely suitable."
"I want to go back with the city lord." Kong Yun was obviously unhappy, he just wanted to follow An Yan.
An Yan said to Kong Yun, "You take charge for a few days. I'll replace you after I heal Bai Yucheng's injury."
"I can't do it." Kong Yun frowned.
"I know you can do it. A descendant of a wealthy family would be able to manage a city. I'm afraid you'd manage it quite well." An Yan said to An Kongyun with certainty, and then added, "I think I'm not wrong about you, am I?"
"City Lord, I naturally dare not disobey your orders. Now I want to ask for a favor. Although it is a bit unreasonable, I think this is an opportunity." Kong Yun was a little embarrassed when he said this.
An Yan asked him, "It's okay. If you do one more thing, I will naturally give you another reward. Since you have already thought about what you want, it saves me the trouble of figuring out what to reward you with."
"I need to talk to the old man about this." Kong Yun felt a little embarrassed.
Yan Qingqiu felt that Kong Yun's expression was very strange. Why was a grown man so shy? There was no need to be so embarrassed to ask for a good thing, not to mention that An Yan didn't care.
But Li Rongsen understood that Kong Yun wanted the old man to help him add the title of City Slave. This was very strange. What exactly was this City Slave? Perhaps he could ask Kong Yun another day.
When An Yan heard that it was related to the old man, she had no objection and said, "Okay, let's do as you say."
Kong Yun immediately bowed deeply and said, "Then I will stay here and wait for news from the city lord."
An Yan nodded, then looked at Beichen and Tigress, who were both tied up.
"Beichen, I advise you not to cause trouble, otherwise I will hand you back to the North Courtyard."
"Just hand it over to me. I'm worried about where to eat." Beichen snorted coldly, looked at Bai Yucheng again, and said, "You, who do you think you are? I refused to marry you. Do you think you are good-looking? You ungrateful fool!"
Bai Yucheng sneered and said, "You just want to occupy Taiping City and become your brother's enemy. How can you say you love me?"
"You are smart, but I just hate smart people." Beichen was very angry.
The tigress said, "Please let me go back to the mountains. I am not of the same kind as this woman."
"Where's the other man? Has he been tied up?" Yan Qingqiu said as he looked around, and saw two people pushing the man who had blocked the way coming over.
The man spat at Beichen and said, "You're such a disgusting woman! You were plotting against Bai Yucheng, but you tricked me into saying you were in love with me and made me do this kind of shit with you."
"That's because you are too stupid. It has nothing to do with me. You are an idiot who has never seen a woman." Beichen snorted coldly.
An Yancai had no interest in listening to their mutual accusations, nor did she care what conspiracy they had. She only said, "Alright, let's go see if the big ship outside has returned. We will return to West City immediately."
The big ship outside just returned to the Dark Moon Realm Lord, delivering the things that Lao brought with him, so I don’t know if it has returned yet.
When An Yan and his companions walked out of the city gate, they saw that they had returned, so they boarded the boat and said to Kong Yun below, "Tie up those men and throw them into jail. I will think of what to do with them."
"Okay, I understand." Kong Yun nodded.
Yan Qingqiu reminded Kong Yun, "Don't fall for that woman's tricks. You need to be more clear-headed."
"Don't worry, I don't like her. I have high standards." Kong Yun smiled and told Yan Qingqiu not to think too much.
Li Rongsen just watched from the side without saying anything. He had many unanswered questions in his mind, and felt that An Yan was becoming more and more mysterious.
An Yan added: "There is no need to be harsh on them. Just do what is right." After saying that, he waved his hand and started the boat moving.
Yan Qingqiu went into the boat to see Bai Yucheng and asked him, "How are you doing now?"
"It's okay, thank you for saving me." Bai Yucheng was very grateful to them, especially An Yan.
Before An Yan returned to the cabin, she said to Li Rongsen, "Stretch out your hand so I can see it. I didn't have time to examine it carefully just now, but now I can."
"Don't worry about my minor injury. Go and see the people inside first."
"It's precisely because your injury is minor that I need to see you first. You won't have time to treat it later." An Yan said as she lifted Li Rongsen's right hand, removed the simple bandage he had just received, and then disinfected it with the things she brought, applied medicine on it, and then bandaged it again.
Li Rongsen suddenly wanted to know what position he ranked in An Yan's heart. He was not greedy. As long as he could be ranked behind Yan Qingqiu, it should not be too much.
An Yan never thought that he would have such thoughts. After letting go of his hand, she said, "Okay, go and rest. We will be in West City soon. I will go in and see who is inside."
Bai Yucheng was actually in pain all over, but he didn't dare to shout out. Firstly, he was not manly enough, and secondly, he was afraid of disturbing others.
