“What was that?” she exploded. The Legendary Lion’s roar scared Qingcang so much that he shrank back. “If you keep pushing your luck, I’ll beat you to death!”

Yan Xin felt that even though she had lived for so many years, this was the first time she had gotten so angry that smoke was practically spouting from her head.

“No, no, no. I wouldn’t dare have any conditions, really.” As if afraid that she would not believe him, Qingcang raised three fingers, as if swearing on his heart that he meant what he said.

After a day of calm, Qingcang brought Yan Xin to the dock at eight o’clock the next day.

The Xie family was famous for maritime affairs, so the boat that Qingcang had suddenly prepared was probably not as safe as the other family’s. Moreover, the number of people who knew about what they were doing was very limited, so Qingcang could not bring many bodyguards.

To be honest, it was fine even if he did not bring any bodyguards. No matter how many bodyguards they sent, they would likely all perish anyway. Even if he had the money to do so, he wouldn’t waste it like this.

However, he had given a death order to his subordinates to find the things that Yan Xin asked for. The results turned out to be quite impressive. As long as he could guarantee Yan Xin’s safety, he would be safe as well.

“Let’s go.” Other than the anger from yesterday, Yan Xin had been very calm throughout the whole day. Even when she saw Xie Mingyu and the black-robed man today, her face was still as cold as ice.

“Can I take a look around your ship, Young Master Xie?” Qingcang asked very politely.

“Of course you can. But in order to ensure that daily operations run smoothly, there are still quite a number of staff on the ship. You have to pay attention to your safety, Young Master Liu,” Mingyu said kindly.

What he said made sense; the four of them were people who were willing to do whatever they wanted, after all. If they were to spend any amount of time in the vast ocean, they would need professional people for things to run properly. Things might not turn out good if they were to rely on themselves only.

After that, they didn’t say anything else as Yan Xin followed Qingcang onto the ship. Their bodyguards put their luggage into their rooms, then left.

“This is the cabin.” After Mingyu brought them onto the ship, he introduced them to its many floors. They walked all the way to the dining hall, of which there were several, and each dining hall had waiters. They could eat whatever they wanted there.

Next were the rooms. Because there were only a few of them this time, the rooms on the third floor were for the waiters to sleep in, while their rooms were situated on the fourth floor. There were only five or six rooms there, all of them having been made into a high-class cabin.

Finally, after walking around the ship once, Yan Xin returned to her own room.

“Well, I don’t feel safe in my own room. Why don’t I move in with you?” Qingcang clung to her, refusing to leave.

“You…” Yan Xin was speechless. Although she didn’t feel tired after taking a stroll, after the endless work for the past few days, she was indeed drained. She wanted to take advantage of the temporary calm and peaceful situation to have a good rest.

However, this fellow was acting like a band-aid—easy to put on, but painful to take off.

“If you don’t go back to your room, I’ll beat you up,” she said expressionlessly. She’d found that the feeling of beating someone up with her bare hands wasn’t bad at all.

“Okay! I’ll be going back, now.” Qingcang hastily said. Her words couldn’t be taken for a joke at all; the beauty in front of him wasn’t at all like the other delicate girls, after all. If he was to be beaten up by her, it would be like freely throwing his pride and dignity away to the wolves.

“Miss Yan, the Young Master has arranged a family banquet tonight and has extended an invitation to you to attend it.” A girl dressed as a nanny knocked on her door. Upon hearing the girl’s words, a look of confusion crossed her face while she was still wearing a pair of cute Pikachu pajamas..
