386: Chapter 386: What’s the Matter?
Bai Xiaofan and his two companions had been on Dake Island for another three days when a ship approached from afar!
“A ship, a ship, look, there’s a ship coming!”
Pointing at the incoming ship, Xiao Mei shouted excitedly.
These past days had been almost unbearably depressing for her.
Not for any other reason than having to watch Bai Xiaofan and Su Shiqi being lovey-dovey twenty-four hours a day.
Watching the two of them canoodling as if no one else was around, she was involuntarily feasting on a constant diet of dog food.
Xiao Mei really felt like killing them at times!
Now that she saw hope for departure, it would be strange if she wasn’t delighted.
“What’s with all the yelling?
Disdainfully glancing at Xiao Mei, Bai Xiaofan hugged Su Shiqi and immediately hid behind a rock.
Xiao Mei also quickly found a place to hide.
Soon, the ship docked…
A group of foreigners disembarked from the vessel, roughly a dozen or so.
All of them were armed with guns, with only two left to guard the ship, before they headed towards the island’s center.
If you take down those two armed foreigners, we can leave this place!”
Bai Xiaofan whispered to Xiao Mei, who was beside him.
“Because you have higher cultivation!”
Xiao Mei, speechless, stealthily approached the two men.
When she was several dozen meters away from them, Xiao Mei suddenly burst out, her Green Lotus Sword sending a strike of Sword Qi.
In an instant, the two gunmen were killed!
Bai Xiaofan then promptly swept Su Shiqi off her feet and dashed onto the ship, even before Xiao Mei.
The three of them got on the ship and started it without delay.
As the ship slowly sailed away, a group of people emerged from the dense forest.
They were the same group that had come ashore, including the woman whose tail had been cut off by Bai Xiaofan.
Xiao Mei checked the entire ship and found no sign of any dangerous people or beasts.
“What are you thinking about?
Are you considering how to ambush me later?”
Xiao Mei asked in a low voice as she approached Bai Xiaofan, who was sitting on the deck, silently staring into the distance.
“You’re overthinking it.
Do I need to sneak up to beat you?
I’m just feeling that getting this ship was a bit too easy!”
Xiao Mei shot a disdainful glance at Bai Xiaofan, who then took two bottles of wine from the cellar and began to drink leisurely with Su Shiqi.
After a day and a night, the ship finally arrived in China.
Bai Xiaofan glanced at Xiao Mei, who was drinking, and gave Su Shiqi a few soft instructions.
Afterward, Su Shiqi slowly stood up.
“Xiaofan told me to knock you out and throw you into the sea,” Su Shiqi said softly as she approached Xiao Mei.
“So, you were harboring ill intentions all along, Bai Xiaofan.
Remember this—once we land, I will kill you!”
Xiao Mei raised an eyebrow in a threatening gesture towards Bai Xiaofan.
Bai Xiaofan was no longer seated in his original spot.
In an instant, Xiao Mei felt a force coming from behind her.
Before she could react, a sharp pain shot through her neck.
there was no afterward!
After knocking out Xiao Mei, Bai Xiaofan went into the cabin and casually put on some clothes.
He took Su Shiqi and they both disembarked.
Fuhai City, a city in China close to the South Sea.
The two of them didn’t rush to go back to Nan Jiang City; instead, they checked into a hotel first.
After freshening up and changing into clothes bought by a waiter, they went down for a meal.
“Shi Qi, eat more meat to build yourself up, you’ve gotten too thin lately!”
Bai Xiaofan kept putting various types of meat into Su Shiqi’s bowl without stopping.
“You little rogue, are you disgusted with me?
Why don’t you go find a cow instead?”
Su Shiqi, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, glared at Bai Xiaofan, retorting with annoyance.
“Look at you, such a little hot temper, I’m just worried, what if one night I get hungry and there’s no late-night snack to eat?”
Bai Xiaofan smirked and leaned over to Su Shiqi…
“Stop joking around and be serious!”
Su Shiqi’s pretty face flushed, and she sneakily pressed down on Bai Xiaofan’s hand.
This place was nothing like Dake Island; there were so many people around.
It would look terrible if someone saw them getting handsy while eating—a real blow to their reputations.
And this jerk, Bai Xiaofan, was being so blunt about it.
Again with the night snack!
Su Shiqi seriously wondered if this guy was with her just for the sake of a late-night snack.
“Here, have this grilled sausage!”
Bai Xiaofan forked a grilled sausage and, with a mischievous smile, brought it to Su Shiqi’s lips.
Su Shiqi was a clever girl; the notion of “beauty without brains” simply didn’t apply to her!
After just one glance at Bai Xiaofan’s smirk, she knew this lecher was thinking about the things that happened on the island.
Su Shiqi smiled faintly, her red lips parting slightly.
“Mm, so the chicken sausage snaps in one bite, how delicious!”
Su Shiqi said cutely, her beautiful eyes twinkling with schadenfreude.
Watching Su Shiqi suddenly bite through the sausage, Bai Xiaofan felt a chill all over.
This girl was really too ruthless!
“You eat first, I’m going to the restroom.
I feel I’ve had a scare and need to calm down!”
Bai Xiaofan excused himself to Su Shiqi and headed for the restroom.
Witnessing Bai Xiaofan’s hasty retreat, Su Shiqi’s face was brimming with a triumphant smile.
Humph, that’ll teach you to bully me again!
As Bai Xiaofan reached the restroom, intending to calm himself, he overheard a conversation between two people.
“Su Shiqi has already come to Fuhai City, she’s dining in the restaurant right now, when shall we make our move?”
“Hold off for now, that guy named Bai Xiaofan is by her side!”
Under normal circumstances, Bai Xiaofan wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters.
But since they mentioned Su Shiqi, he had to intervene.
He quietly moved aside, waiting for the person in the stall to come out.
Soon, the sound of flushing water echoed.
Immediately after, the stall door swung open, and a head peeked out to survey the situation.
However, the moment he looked out…
He saw a familiar face staring back at him.
It was Bai Xiaofan, the very same man who had been dining with Su Shiqi in the restaurant.
Inside the stall, his accomplice was inquiring in hushed tones.
The man stuttered several times, unable to utter Bai Xiaofan’s name as the cold sweat on his forehead started to pour down like rain.
Move aside, let me go out first!”
The other man, annoyed by his partner’s incoherence, pushed his partner aside, intending to step out.
However, the moment he saw Bai Xiaofan, his reaction was the same as his accomplice’s.
Sweat poured down like rain…
