Chapter 126 A Generation of Pirates 13 There is no room for lovers in this world.
Felix left, and Jian Ziyan sat on the bed for a long time.
He was a little confused about what was going on, but what Felix had just said seemed to still echo in his ears, shocking him.
He gritted his teeth and managed to get up from the bed.
As soon as the door opened, the entire general's mansion was in an uproar, but no one came to this side hall. Jian Anyi stood at the door. She glanced at Jian Ziyan and drifted to look into the room.
"Felix is gone." Jian Ziyan said, "What on earth is going on? Is he really...?"
When she heard that the killer was gone, Jian Anyi was obviously much more relaxed. She looked back and even though there was no one around, she lowered her voice and said, "Alva is injured. It should be Felix."
"Just injured?" Jian Ziyan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that Lun En was not dead.
Jian Anyi's inquiring eyes fell on his face: "He is not dead, don't you think it's a pity?"
Jian Ziyan gathered the clothes on his shoulders and said calmly: "Compared with the millions of innocent people in Penoma, my personal grudges are insignificant. They only have hope if Lunn is alive. I can't do this, so I can't let someone who can do it die."
Jian Anyi opened her mouth, but no sound came out, nor did she suppress the tremor in her eyes.
"Zi Yan..." Her voice became weak for the first time, and she seemed to want to say something. However, when she met Jian Zi Yan's clear eyes, she still lowered her head.
Jian Ziyan waited for a while, and felt that his body could no longer hold on. He nodded and said, "I'll go check on Lun En. Remember, don't tell anyone what you saw just now."
Jian Anyi turned away silently.
The general was attacked, and Duke Kate died here, so the entire general's mansion was in chaos. Fortunately, the butler maintained discipline, and the collection of corpses and treatment of Lunn's injuries were not delayed.
Jian Ziyan arrived outside Lun En's bedroom without being stopped. The people in the mansion were all Lun En's confidants. They all knew that this young man was the apple of the general's eye, so how could they dare to stop him?
Not only did he not stop him, but the housekeeper quickly came forward as soon as he saw him: "Master Jian, you are not well yet, go back and rest quickly, otherwise when the general wakes up, he will definitely blame us."
Jian Ziyan felt a little uncomfortable with being called Young Master Jian. He looked away towards the inner room and smelled a strong smell of blood.
"How is he?"
The butler's face suddenly turned bitter. "The general's injuries were very serious. He was pierced through the chest with something unknown. Even the doctor said that it was incredible that he could survive."
Thinking of the bloody arm that Felix had hugged him with, Jian Ziyan was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you know who did it?"
"We don't know yet, but this is really terrible. Who could sneak into the general's mansion and seriously injure the general?" said the butler. "There were only the general and the deceased Duke Kate at the scene. Perhaps we can only know what happened when the general wakes up."
Jian Ziyan's eyes relaxed slightly.
Lunn must have seen that it was Felix who did it, and now he just hopes that Felix will leave and never come back.
It was not easy for him to hold on until now in his physical condition. The housekeeper saw that his face was pale and was about to persuade him to go back and rest, but he heard the doctor inside say that Lun had woken up.
Jian Ziyan and the butler looked at each other. The butler suppressed his expression of tears of joy and said to Jian Ziyan, "Master Jian, please go in and take a look. The general will definitely want to see you."
Jian Ziyan's heart, which had just been at ease, was lifted up again. He didn't pay any attention to the hidden meaning in the housekeeper's words at this time. He just felt that he should go and meet Lun En.
【Jian Ziyan: "Didn't you use too much medicine? It's a bit ridiculous that he can wake up immediately after such an injury."
419: "If you can't wake up, you will die. It's your choice."
Jian Ziyan: "Then let's just keep talking, thank you."
Jian Ziyan came to Lun's bed and sat on the high-back chair that had been prepared.
Lunn's strong upper body was bare, and his chest was wrapped in layers of heavy bandages, still bleeding.
His face was pale, but he seemed to be in good spirits. When he saw Jian Ziyan coming over, his expression softened and even his eyes sparkled.
"Zi Yan..." His heart was filled with tenderness and emotion, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to hold Jian Zi Yan's.
However, Jian Ziyan, who had been very calm, suddenly changed his expression. He pulled his hand back in an almost convulsive manner, as if he was afraid of touching even a little bit of Lun's skin.
Lun's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and Jian Ziyan realized his instinctive reaction and also froze in his chair.
After a moment of silence, Lunn's fingers were visibly shaking. He tried his best to appear calm and retract his hand, but he was unable to suppress his surging emotions and immediately spat out blood.
The doctor at the side hurried forward, but was stopped by him with a wave of his hand: "Get out."
After everyone left, Lun adjusted his mood a little and looked at Jian Ziyan again.
There was indelible regret and guilt in his eyes, and he said weakly, "I'm sorry."
Jian Ziyan exerted a lot of strength to suppress the disgust that arose in his expression reflexively. He did not respond to the apology, even though it sounded painful. However, he did not have the magnanimity to forgive someone who had caused him great harm.
He got straight to the point: "You know who did it, right?" He said in a positive tone.
Lun En's expression gradually subsided. He observed Jian Ziyan's expression and said slowly, "You don't want me to pursue him."
"I can't interfere with you." Jian Ziyan did not reveal any personal feelings, "I just hope you can think clearly about where the current military force should be used."
Not to mention that the location of the Sea Kingdom is still a mystery. Even if we know where it is, wanting to attack a sea race that we don’t understand at all sounds like a pipe dream.
"Who are you thinking about when you say this?" Lun stared at him, "Is it for me, for Penorma, or for Felix?"
Is this important? Jian Ziyan wanted to ask.
There was an inexplicable persistence in Lun's eyes, as if the answer was more important than his life.
Jian Ziyan's sharp eyes revealed a bit of impatience: "Lun Alva, this is your country and your subjects. What does it have to do with a pirate like me? If you can do it, do it. If you can't, find someone else. Don't waste your time on these meaningless questions."
He was really annoyed. He acknowledged Lun's talent, but that didn't mean he could erase his disgust for him. Who did he consider for? What did Lun have to do with him? No matter who it was for, this was the most rational choice. Why bother to figure out his thoughts?
He has been forced to expose his most embarrassing and softest side to others. Why do these people want to peel off the scabs he has disguised over and over again, insisting on seeing his inner heart?
Lun En didn't expect that he would suddenly get angry, and his face was suddenly filled with helplessness. He looked at Jian Ziyan's face, and felt vaguely relieved.
He thought he would never see the boy so fierce, ruthless and arrogant again.
"I was wrong." Lunn said softly, and then he was a little happy. "You always knew what I wanted to do, right?"
He wanted to overthrow the rule of this country and create a country that was completely different from the current one. If he even showed any sign of this idea, he would be treated as treason. However, he was not worried at all that Jian Ziyan would know about it. He was even happy that he paid so much attention to him.
Jian Ziyan raised his lips in a sarcastic arc: "I thought you didn't want to do this anymore."
Lun's happy expression suddenly froze, his expression gradually became gray, and he murmured again: "I'm sorry."
He wanted to be a brave dragon slayer, but was assimilated into an evil dragon. If it weren't for Jian Ziyan, he probably wouldn't want to wake up in this life.
It was Jian Ziyan who inspired his thoughts back then, and now it was Jian Ziyan who awakened him with a tragic lesson. When Lun En looked at Jian Ziyan, he had already transcended looking at Jian Ziyan himself. It was more like looking at a lamp, looking at the softest kindness in his heart.
"I will not hold Felix responsible. He wants to kill me, but it is impossible.
"That's right," said Lunn, "but I'd like to have his help if possible."
Jian Ziyan looked at him and frowned.
"I know this is the fate of mankind, and other races should not be involved." Lunn explained softly, "So I just hope that if the sea people can participate, it will reduce a lot of casualties. Of course, it is understandable if they want to stay out of it."
"The biggest vice of human beings is greed. Once you get something, you will want more." Jian Ziyan said mercilessly, "You have already fallen once. Can you guarantee that you will always be a dragon slayer and not turn back into a dragon?"
"What a sharp question." Lunn was not angry, but showed a gentle smile. He stared at the young man who was obviously a pirate but respected like a hero. He regretted for the umpteenth time that he would use such a shameful method to humiliate him, and this regret turned into a continuous persistence and love. "You can watch me, if one day I am swallowed by greed again..."
He took out his beloved gun from the bedside and put it in Jian Ziyan's hand.
"You can kill me with your own hands," he said. "I will not dodge a bullet that comes out of your gun."
Jian Ziyan lowered his eyes in silence, and after a moment he threw the gun back.
"I don't have that much energy to stare at you. All the people who are struggling in misery are staring at you." He stood up. "Of course, if I'm still alive when you turn into a dragon again, my sword will definitely point to your throat."
…
Jian Ziyan didn't know how Lun En handled the matter. Anyway, the death of Duke Kate didn't seem to cause any waves. Even though Lun En was seriously injured, his spirit was not affected at all, which surprised everyone who was paying attention.
At the same time, Lunn struck while the iron was hot and spread the rumor that he was the immortal god of war and would definitely lead the country to a higher peak. At this time, he really gained a large number of believers.
"The war of public opinion has been indispensable since ancient times." Lunn said, "Now I am still in the stage of building momentum because of my injuries. When I am able to fight, it will be time for real action."
After all, he has the background of a military general and has been pampered since childhood. His physical fitness is much better than Jian Ziyan's. Now he can sit at the head of Jian Ziyan's bed and discuss things with him.
He looked at the boy's face which had become increasingly thinner over the past few days, and his eyes were filled with heartache.
Jian Ziyan half-closed his eyes sleepily, but Lun En knew he was listening.
No matter how harsh his words were, when it came to this matter, he couldn't help but care and pay attention.
Jian Ziyan, known as the "Devil of the Sea", is actually just a person with a softer heart than anyone else.
"As for the pirates..." Jian Ziyan said.
"Don't worry about the pirates." Jian Anyi said, "For them, as long as their interests are not affected, it's none of their business even if Penorma is overturned."
"Once we succeed, cleaning up the pirates will be the next step. Not all of them are that stupid." Jian Ziyan coughed lightly and leaned against the head of the bed tiredly. "But it will take a long time before we can take action against them."
"Don't talk anymore. Just take good care of yourself first." Lunn said worriedly, "I came here just because I didn't want to hide these from you. If you become too worried because of this, it would be my fault."
Jian Ziyan didn't say anything.
Why should he deceive himself? Now even the doctors no longer prescribe medicine for him. He can feel that his body is like an old ship on fire, being devoured bit by bit.
But whether it was Lun En or Jian Anyi, they both pretended that they were fine. However, it was better this way, as he was not good at dealing with other people's sympathetic and pitiful looks.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he ignored them and turned to ponder the current situation.
The awakened Lunn is like a real lion, and the country is about to be in turmoil.
Suddenly, the curtains were drawn aside, and a tall figure jumped in, accompanied by a strong smell of the ocean. The moment he saw the situation clearly, a terrifying murderous intent burst out and quickly rushed towards Lun!
Just before Lun was about to die on the spot, Jian Ziyan spoke up in time: "Felix!"
The ferocious murderous intent suddenly stopped, and the mermaid's sharp nails pressed against Lun's throat.
Felix was soaked, as if he had just come out of the sea. His golden hair was pulled back, and between the few wet strands that fell, a pair of cold animal eyes were revealed.
He stared at Lun quietly. The scene was extremely quiet. After a while, the mermaid restrained his instinctive killing intent and slowly withdrew his hand.
"Ayan." He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Why is he still alive?"
Jian Ziyan said, "Sit down and don't make trouble, or get out."
Felix's muscles bulged and his muscle lines were twitching and shaking, but he opened his mouth and forced himself to sit down beside Jian Ziyan's bed.
"Ayan." He was like a wronged little animal. He held Jian Ziyan's hand and gently kissed his fingertips. "I've been away for several days. Are you angry?"
Jian Ziyan's brain was just thinking about things like the fate of the world, and his sudden appearance completely disrupted his thinking.
"No." He replied coldly, pulling his hand back, "I have something to do, please stop making trouble."
Felix watched him pull his hand away, and the aura around him became more violent and depressing. If he hadn't been obsessed with not making Jian Ziyan angry, he would have gone crazy by now.
Lunn escaped from the claws of the fish again, and it took him a long time to swallow a sigh of fear. He looked at this man who was as docile as a hound, and suddenly a vague fragment came to his mind.
The sharp pain piercing through my chest, the strange and cold red eyes...
Lunn was stunned and subconsciously looked into Felix's eyes.
His eyes were slightly red, whether from sadness or anger, but his pupils were still a clear blue.
Maybe he had hallucinations before he died. That was all Lun could think of.
"Hold your momentum, unless you want me to die." Jian Ziyan said again, "I can't breathe."
The breath around Felix stagnated, and then slowly descended.
"It's been so many days, and your complexion hasn't improved at all." He looked at the boy's face distressedly, "It's okay, Ayan, we don't rely on humans. I have gained something from returning to the sea tribe this time, and I will definitely save you."
Jian Ziyan had no interest in this topic. Just as he was about to continue what he was saying, Jian Anyi opened his mouth and asked, "What method?"
"I looked up the records on the shells and asked some sea creatures who lived longer. The conclusions I got were the same. The things that can prolong the lives of sea creatures are not applicable to humans." Felix's eyebrows darkened again, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. "But there are two things that can have an effect on humans, and that is the blood and tears of mermaids."
All three of them were stunned for a moment.
"As long as there is a way." Felix whispered, "Ayan, I will definitely save you."
He repeated this sentence again, and beneath his calmness was hidden a crazy obsession that no one could fathom.
Jian Ziyan looked at him, something flashing in his eyes.
"I don't need it," he said.
Felix said in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, the body structure of the sea people is different from yours. I won't die if I just pay with tears and blood."
"Felix" may not know Jian Ziyan that well, but he understands.
This is his lover. No matter what kind of appearance he changes into, his kindness and compassion are engraved in his bones, and he knows all his worries and concerns.
Lunn on the side moved uneasily. He felt that Felix seemed a little different. In front of Jian Ziyan, the two of them formed an invisible world that isolated outsiders and no one could get in.
"I said, I don't need it." Jian Ziyan said calmly, "Don't think you can give me what you want. I don't want it."
Felix was not surprised at all. He looked at Jian Ziyan gently without arguing.
He then said, "You just said you had something to do. I'll help you."
He didn't ask what it was, whether he was needed, or what the price would be. As long as Jian Ziyan wanted to do it, it was his business, so natural and so reasonable.
The only conflict that had caused disagreement between him and Lun was brought to him by its owner. Jian Ziyan hesitated for a moment, but still did not make the request himself.
This is assistance from one race to another, and it should not be influenced by personal feelings. He didn't want to cause Felix any concern or embarrassment.
After all, Felix cares so much about his kingdom and his people.
Jian Ziyan swallowed some of his self-mockery, listened to Lun En tentatively express their thoughts, and looked away.
"Overthrow Penorma?" Felix kept his eyes on Jian Ziyan, "Ayan, is this what you want to do?"
Jian Ziyan was silent.
"I'll do it," Felix said firmly.
No one expected that he would agree so readily. Jian Ziyan turned his head suddenly and looked at him: "You..."
"I'm very clear-headed." Felix smiled at him, "This kingdom is not as solid as you think. It is extremely fragile. If you want it to, it will be destroyed overnight."
The extreme arrogance and domineering, the humans present all showed astonishment. ☆This☆work☆is☆made☆by☆
"Think about it carefully." Lunn couldn't help but say, "Penoma has a long history, and there are countless cancers entrenched in this land. If you want to change the regime, you must eradicate them one by one. This is not something that can be done by one person."
"It's just that you can't do it." Felix didn't even look at him. He was afraid that if he looked at him for a second longer, he would lose control and pierce his throat. "How many so-called cancers are there? Just kill them all."
There was silence, and the humans didn't know whether to say that Felix didn't understand humans after all, or to say that his thinking was different from that of humans.
The power of the nobles is complex and they have their own army to protect them. In the face of traitors who want to overthrow the regime, they can immediately twist themselves into the thickest hemp rope.
To eradicate them overnight? I wouldn't even dream of doing that.
Felix could see that they didn't believe him, but he didn't say much.
Ayan has no memory of his past lives, so he would be very nervous about overthrowing a country's rule, but they have actually experienced it many times, and it is a piece of cake for Felix, so it doesn't cause any waves at all.
The difficulty of this matter is not as great as how to make Jian Ziyan feel at ease to accept his treatment.
…
At night, Jian Ziyan fell into a deep sleep under the effect of Ningxixiang. His door was gently pushed open and Felix walked in holding a bowl.
Behind him, Jian Anyi held a soft lamp and placed it on the bedside.
The liquid in the bowl was scarlet and viscous, yet it had tiny specks of pearlescent light floating around in it, making it look somewhat bloody and gorgeous.
This was a mixture of Felix's blood and crushed tears. With the help of Jian Anyi, Felix gently undressed Jian Ziyan's clothes and bandages, allowing him to maintain a sideways position.
Seeing the deep whip marks on the boy's back that were visible to the bone, Felix's breath became disordered and his eyes became a little red again.
Jian Anyi looked at the scars silently, thoughts flowing in her dark eyes.
Felix dipped his finger into the blood and smeared it on Jian Ziyan's back.
Feeling the soft and fragrant breath of the woman beside him, he said in a cold tone: "You clearly wanted to kill him before, why do you care about him so much now?"
Jian Anyi was silent for a moment, but still answered the question.
"I want to kill not only him, but everyone who might threaten me."
Felix told himself a thousand times that this was Ayan’s mother and he couldn’t kill her before he continued, “Since you can watch him suffer, there’s no need to make such a gesture now.”
"I... I'm sorry for this kid. I should have realized something when those pirates insulted him." Jian Anyi sighed deeply, "But I thought it was just... Believe it or not, if he had simply died, I wouldn't have so many overflowing emotions."
The rumors among pirates are true and false, and they are never clean.
If she listened to everything and believed everything, she would never be able to climb to this position.
At this moment when Jian Ziyan couldn't see, this cruel woman finally revealed her sadness and fragility.
"I'm not so cold-blooded, but this world doesn't tolerate sentimental people."

The author has something to say:
The character of Jian Anyi is quite complicated.
Simply define her as good or bad.
