Chapter 179 Die Together
Again and again!
Yun Chen frowned and was about to get impatient, wondering why Yan Shijiu brought this up again, but she saw that there was no joking on his face, he was extremely serious... and looked at her pleadingly.
Yan Shijiu is cynical and unserious all the time. Once he shows this rare serious expression, Yun Chen knows that he is serious.
It seemed that he was not joking just now. Yun Chen was thinking about how to refuse.
At this time, Yan Shijiu stopped rowing and stopped the boat in the middle of the lake.
The water has turned from dark green to pitch black, and a cliff can be vaguely seen under the water.
Their boat was hovering just outside a bottomless cliff, looking very dangerous.
"Yun Chen, think it over carefully. I'll ask you again." Yan Shijiu looked directly at Yun Chen with a serious tone:
"Leave Huo Gannian and come to me. Be my guard."
She felt a little helpless. "Why do you insist on me being your bodyguard? What's the reason?"
"Admiration and respect," Yan Shijiu said. "Or, just think of me as someone like all the other dignitaries in Kyoto who really wants the 'Xuandu Guards' to support me, okay?"
"I don't believe that reason." A serious look appeared between her eyebrows. "What is the reason? Please tell me the truth."
Perhaps it was the polite yet unfamiliar word "please" that irritated Yan Shijiu.
His eyes darkened, and his tone suddenly became cold:
"Because you can only survive if you follow me."
Yun Chen couldn't understand the deep meaning of this sentence. She looked at the bottomless cliff under the water, which was like a monster's mouth quietly open, waiting for its prey to fall in.
After thinking for a while, she said solemnly:
"I agree with your reasoning. But Yan Nineteen, my mother taught me that 'en' means kindness, and it comes from the heart. Even a playful bird can still remember a favor. I sought favor and received great favor from the young master, so I acknowledged him as my master. Although I am not a prominent figure, even bees and insects know how to be loyal to their masters, and so I will serve you at the risk of my life, even without hesitation."
Yan Shijiu shook his head. "Don't mention 'loyalty, bravery, and faith' to me. You like Huo Gannian, so you stay with him, right?"
There was a flash of disappointment in Yun Chen's eyes. "I like you, and I am loyal to you. Even if I don't have either, I still want to stay in the Huo Gang and be with my brothers. I, Yun Chen, only belong to myself, not to Huo Gannian, nor to anyone else."
"What if Huo Gannian dies?"
"Either I go with him, or I will remember him for the rest of my life until I find my benefactor and, with his approval, I commit suicide. That way I can be both loyal and righteous."
Yan Shijiu frowned deeply.
He didn't understand what Yun Chen said. He could understand every word, but when they were put together, he didn't understand.
He felt that Yun Chen was just looking for an excuse to stay with Huo Gannian.
He didn't understand why Yun Chen liked the vast sky and sea, just like fish will never understand why birds like the high sky under the scorching sun.
"So you're rejecting me, right?" Yan Shijiu's voice was low and threatening. "I advise you to think carefully before answering."
Without any hesitation, Yun Chen said: "Sorry, I don't want to be your bodyguard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shijiu pounced towards her with an expressionless face.
Unprepared, he grabbed her and leaned over to flip over the boat.
At the moment she was about to fall into the water, she heard Yan Shijiu say in her ear:
"In that case, let's die together!"
Yan Shijiu held her body tightly and sank straight into the dark abyss of the water.
Yun Chen was pinned down and unable to move. He raised his foot to kick Yan Shijiu and wanted to scold him for being crazy again, but he opened his mouth and drank several mouthfuls of water.
The rapid sinking made Yun Chen dizzy, his ears buzzed, his nose began to bleed, and he soon fainted.
At the end of her sight, she saw Yan Shijiu's sharp jawline, a high nose bridge, and a face that was cold and ruthless, a look she had never seen before.
For some reason, at that moment, Yun Chen believed that he was really going to die with her.
Yun Chen had a very deep dream.
She dreamed that Yan Shijiu was facing her, standing on the edge of a cliff, with one foot already stepped out.
She desperately shouted, "Come back! Don't jump!" But Yan Shijiu just smiled sadly at her, then gently pulled the rope in his hand and slowly fell backwards.
The rope twitched rapidly, and she realized that the other end of the rope was tied to her foot.
She rushed in the opposite direction as fast as she could, but she couldn't run faster.
She felt her body become heavy, and she was pulled towards the cliff with great force. However, she was caught by a pair of hands at the moment when she was about to fall.
Yan Shijiu looked at her threateningly:
"Yun Chen, have you made up your mind? Do you want to be my bodyguard?"
She shook her head, and Yan Shijiu immediately loosened his hands, causing her to fall heavily off the cliff.
The huge feeling of weightlessness made her whole body twitch, and she suddenly woke up. Ye Yan was looking at her from above her face, and said with concern:
"Having a nightmare?"
Huo Gannian helped her sit up. It took her a long time to wake up from her dream. She felt the bumps of the carriage and realized that they were on the way to Yancheng.
Huo Gannian and Ye Yan were guarding her in the carriage, while Buyan was driving the horse outside; Hua Jue was in another carriage with Huo Luyu.
She rubbed her stinging head and could taste the blood in her nose. She coughed for a while, spitting out half a piece of water grass, and asked with gritted teeth:
"Where's Yan Nineteen?!"
Ye Yan said, "After General Yan rescued you, he left to take care of military affairs. Since you were still unconscious, we decided to set off."
"Save me?" Yun Chen widened his eyes.
Bu Yan lifted the car curtain and poked his head out and said:
"Yes, thanks to General Yan for saving you. Look at you, your injuries haven't healed completely yet, why did you have to go into the water to catch fish? Why not wait until your injuries are healed before diving again! You are an expert in the water, but you actually drowned, isn't that embarrassing? Thanks to General Yan for saving your life, now we owe him more and more!"
Yun Chen laughed out of anger, nodded repeatedly, and said to himself:
"Alright, alright, you bastard, you're in such a hurry to send me off, are you afraid I'll wake up and beat you up?! Next time we meet, if I don't crack your head open and plunge you into the water a hundred times, I won't be named Yun!"
After understanding the meaning of Yun Chen's words, Ye Yan and Buyan looked at each other, and at the same time glanced at Huo Gannian who was about to "become a demon". Then Ye Yan very tactfully got up and left the car under the pretext of "going to the toilet".
When leaving, Ye Yan did not forget to carefully hang up the curtains and tightly close the large mass of "black magic energy", saying:
"The curtains are tight, even strong winds can't blow them open. Don't worry, young master. No, don't worry, Achen!"
Ye Yan felt that the "black evil energy" must be extremely frustrated now and really needed Yun Chen's suppression, bah, it was comfort.
Yun Chen kept coughing to cough out the water in her lungs. Huo Gannian gently stroked her back, then hugged her in his arms, buried his head in her neck, without saying a word.
She didn't say anything, but her face was flushed and she wanted to hide the itch on her neck.
He hugged her from behind, and after hugging her for a while, he would tighten his arms a little bit, and then hug her for a while longer, and then tighten them a little bit more.
"I can't... breathe..." She pretended to have a hoarse voice, looking like she was about to collapse.
He was still buried in her neck, chuckling softly, his breath tickling her even more and making her want to laugh.
He raised his head, looked at her with bright eyes, and said happily:
"It's finally about to begin."
She was also quite excited, looking at the car curtain, "Then get rid of your sister first!"
