Chapter 219 Burning Makes You Healthier
Let's go back a few days to when Chu Ling and his party were on the ship.
"vomit--
Seeing the opportunity, Xie Yan cast her line and caught a fish by following the spit-out contents of Wuya's mouth.
"I told you to have someone take you off the boat and walk on land, but you insisted on taking the boat."
Uya's face was frighteningly pale, and she leaned weakly against the side of the ship to barely keep her balance.
"No, no, Xiaobai said it would be faster to take a boat."
Xie Yan: "..."
After traveling for months, you still managed to meet us. I really can't tell how fast you can be.
"Oh right, I forgot to ask you earlier, where are you going?"
Uya finally calmed down a bit, patting her chest to catch her breath. Hearing this, she pointed and said, "I don't know, Xiaobai said to go in that direction."
Xie Yan rested her chin on her hand and turned her head to look in the direction she was pointing. "That direction... seems to be the same as our route. Are you also going to Jinlin?"
Uya asked blankly, "What place is Jinlin?"
"It seems our speculation was correct; the group from the Holy Sun Church really is at the final destination on the treasure map."
"Treasure map? What treasure map? I'm looking for Wu Li."
Uya was already dizzy from vomiting, and she was completely confused by what she heard. Before she could ask any more questions, Xie Yan lifted her fishing rod and cast a big fish into the sea.
"Great! Tonight is a good time to nourish your body."
On the other hand—
"Why are you following me?"
Xuanfeng abruptly stopped his hurried steps and turned around suspiciously to look at Heshan, who was following closely beside him. "Do you also have something important to report to the Prince?"
"what?"
Caught off guard, He Shan nearly stepped on Xuan Feng's heel. His fleeting gaze quickly returned to Xie Yan, who was fishing in the distance, and he mumbled, "Yes, that's right! I also have something to say to Your Highness."
For some reason, Xuanfeng's eyelids suddenly twitched. "...You'd better talk about serious matters."
Upon hearing this, He Shan guiltily touched his nose and silently looked away.
"Your Highness, a reply has arrived from the capital."
Xuanfeng's expression was solemn as he presented all the secret letters he had just received to the table in front of Chuling.
"According to the ship owner's testimony, people in the capital have investigated and confirmed that those ministers in the court did indeed have rebellious intentions and were secretly colluding with the Holy Sun Church."
Chu Ling lowered his eyes to look at the few secret letters, quietly stroking the edge of the letters on the table, lost in thought.
The room fell silent again, and the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive and heavy.
Xuanfeng silently lowered his head, and Heshan also stood aside without saying a word.
After a long while, Chu Ling sighed softly, his expression unreadable, "What about Eunuch Xiao?"
"Your Highness, regarding Eunuch Xiao..."
Xuanfeng pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "Due to the short time, although we have only found some clues, there is a very high probability that... it is indeed Eunuch Xiao who is manipulating things behind the scenes."
Chu Ling's expression remained unchanged; he simply stared quietly at Xuan Feng, waiting for him to continue.
"His Majesty said he would handle everything and that Your Highness could go about your business without worrying about this matter."
"The king knows."
Chu Ling nodded slightly and took a sip of the bitter tea in front of him.
The teacups clinked together, making a crisp sound. He Shan's ears twitched, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
After letting out a sigh of relief, he gave Xuanfeng several winks, signaling him to leave quickly.
However, Xuanfeng, who kept his head down, failed to notice his gaze.
Only after Chu Ling put down his teacup did Xuan Feng, with his eyes downcast and expressionless, say, "Your Highness, He Shan says he has something important to report."
He Shan's foot, which he had just lifted, stopped abruptly in mid-air, and his smile froze on his face.
Chu Ling's gaze slowly shifted to He Shan.
"What's the matter."
Under two sharp gazes, He Shan nervously swallowed, and after a long pause, he finally spoke stiffly—
"What I wanted to say was... I hope Your Highness will take good care of your health, and if you have nothing to do, please remember to drink more hot water."
Chu Ling: "..."
Xuanfeng: "..."
The waves surged and crashed against the hull, creating a dull thud in the quiet night.
The flickering candlelight inside the room cast two shadows that seemed to intertwine and entwine on the wall.
Chu Ling propped his forehead up, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat tired.
"Are you seasick too?"
Hearing the heavy breathing behind her, Xie Yan paused in her act of unbuttoning her outer garment, then turned to leave. "I'll go ask Tao Xian to make you some seasickness medicine."
"Need not."
Chu Ling opened his eyes, his hazy gaze immediately falling on Xie Yan.
He paused, then took a deep breath, his hazy gaze falling on Xie Yan's slender waist, which was cinched by a belt.
"I'm fine, just a little dizzy."
Chu Ling stood up and walked steadily toward Xie Yan.
But before he could get close, he suddenly stumbled, as if he couldn't stand, and staggered towards Xie Yan.
"Chu Ling?"
Xie Yan quickly caught the body that was lunging at her, but she was caught off guard by Chu Ling's move, which seemed to be completely genuine.
The heavy, exhausted body pressed down, causing Xie Yan to stagger backward.
But while Chu Ling was clearly exhausted, Xie Yan was the one who couldn't move.
A sturdy body enveloped him tightly, not only gripping his waist tightly, but also placing a large hand naturally on his neck.
At the same time, as if he had found something to lean on comfortably, Chu Ling sighed and buried his head in Xie Yan's shoulder.
Looking down from his angle, he could immediately see Xie Yan's collarbone and fair skin beneath her slightly open neckline.
Chu Ling's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and his lips brushed against Xie Yan's earlobe, showering her with his breath.
"I'm fine, I'll be fine after just some sleep."
A low, husky voice lingered in her ears, his breathing heavy and deep, like a feather tickling the tip of her heart, making Xie Yan's heart itch and her ears burn.
His earlobes were burning hot, but Chu Ling's palms and body were burning even hotter.
Upon getting closer, the heat was so intense that Xie Yan couldn't help but shrink back a few times.
"Chu Ling?"
Xie Yan's eyelashes trembled, as if she wanted to confirm something in disbelief.
"Ah."
Chu Ling responded softly.
Immediately afterwards, Xie Yan's expression suddenly changed, and she raised her hand and ruthlessly pulled Chu Ling, who was clinging to her body, off without any mercy.
Before Chu Ling could react, he felt a blur before his eyes and a chill on his forehead. Then he heard Xie Yan say to him seriously, "Stop being so flirtatious, you have a fever."
Chu Ling: "..."
