Chapter 656 Put Into The Sea

October 9th.

Chen Shi. The sky was gloomy, and the sun hanging high in the eastern horizon seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. The bright morning sun shone down, but it was not very warm. Instead, it carried a bit of gloominess and coldness.

When autumn and winter came, it was naturally not strange for them to be cold.

However, the chill that shrouded the entire Great Zhou was completely different from the usual coldness. It was a kind of coldness that could penetrate through the skin to the flesh and bones. It was as if an extremely thin and sharp needle had been pierced into your body. It felt really uncomfortable.

What made Xu Han even more uncomfortable was the two silhouettes that seemed to be chatting and laughing on the giant ape.

Especially the figure dressed in red, did he turn around and glance at Xu Han charmingly, causing him to feel even more on pins and needles.

Wang Yangming used the last bit of sword qi to temporarily suppress the restless devil in Xu Han's body. Then, Xu Han and Meng Liang Qin Keqing left the Southern Wilderness and headed north to the Chen Kingdom.

However, when they arrived at the Surabaya Pass, they met Ah Huang, who had sent nineteen people to the Chen Kingdom and returned to this place. He was also the yellow monkey that Xuan'er had taken back from the Demon King. He found Xu Han and the others alone and brought a letter with him.

A letter written by Little Nineteen in crooked handwriting.

According to the letter, they followed Xu Han's instructions and went to Niutou Village, thirty kilometers west of Yanxia City. However, there was no Niutou Village there, so they naturally could not find Guang Lingui and Liu Dingdang's whereabouts.

As for the other letters, they didn't say anything about it. They only told Xu Han and the others to rush there.

Although Little Nineteen was a bit naughty and willful, he probably wouldn't talk nonsense about such a thing. Since Xu Han had personally gone there, he should have indeed encountered something strange. Therefore, after some discussion, Xu Han and Meng Liang split up. Meng Liang went to the Chen Kingdom alone, while Xu Han took Qin Keqing to Niutou Village in Qingzhou.

And just last night, when Xu Han spoke to Qin Keqing…

Ye Hongjian finally found the two of them after finishing her personal business in Great Xia.

Thus, there was a situation where Ye Hongjian and Qin Keqing were sitting on the giant ape that Ah Huang had transformed into, while Xu Han was following behind with fear.

…

The thought of Ye Hongjian suddenly appearing last night and looking back and forth at Xu Han and Qin Keqing with an indescribable strange gaze caused Xu Han's heart to shiver.

Thus, he sighed deeply. Xuan'er, who was sitting on his shoulder, tilted her head and looked at Xu Han. She did not understand the reason for Xu Han's actions, but she quickly put aside her thoughts and continued to take a nap with her head lowered.

Xu Han lowered his head and followed the giant ape. Qin Keqing seemed to have sensed something. She turned around and looked at Xu Han. After a moment of hesitation, she looked at Ye Hongjian beside her and said, "Sister Hongjian, Young Master Xu has experienced a great battle a few days ago. He is still injured. Can you …"

"Can you let him sit down?" Ye Hongjian asked with a smile on her face.

Qin Keqing could not understand Ye Hongjian's thoughts, but out of concern for Xu Han, she still gritted her teeth and nodded, saying, "Yes."

"Alright." Ye Hongjian unexpectedly agreed to Qin Keqing's request. After saying this, the smile on her face became even more intense. She turned to look at Xu Han.

She seemed to have done it intentionally, and at that time, she asked in a voice so gentle that it made one's bones turn crisp, "Xiao Han, do you want to come and sit together?"

Xu Han was shocked. He looked at the cunning smile on Ye Hongjian's face like a fox. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "It's good to walk. It's helpful to recover from injuries."

"Really? But Sister Qing is very worried about you." Ye Hongjian continued to ask, with a troubled expression on her face.

"No problem, no problem." Xu Han smiled and replied hurriedly, "I like to walk."

"Yes." Hearing this, Ye Hongjian finally nodded her head in satisfaction. She looked at Xu Han with all sorts of charm and emotions, "Then you should go well."

With that, she turned her head and helplessly said, "Little sister, look, Xiao Han doesn't want to come up."

At this moment, Qin Keqing smelled something and lowered her head. Ye Hongjian looked deeply at Qin Keqing and fell silent.

…

During the night, after a day of speeding, the three of them arrived at the border of Chongzhou. At this speed, they would arrive at Yanxia City in Qingzhou tomorrow.

Currently, Great Zhou was completely dependent on the Dark Asura Palace's subordinates. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles as much as possible, Xu Han and the others did not have any plans to enter the city to rest. Instead, they randomly found a hidden mountain forest as a place to stay.

Dinner was still simple dry rations and rice porridge made from the few grains Qin Keqing had bought in the Surabaya Pass. The three of them casually ate some supper and then fell asleep.

Xu Han had experienced a lot in the past few days. He was exhausted both physically and mentally and soon fell asleep.

However, before he could enjoy such a rare peace, a sharp pain came from his waist.

Xu Han instinctively opened his eyes and subconsciously wanted to summon his divine sword. However, the next moment, when he saw the smiling face in front of him, his thoughts dissipated.

Ye Hongjian was pinching the flesh on Xu Han's waist. Seeing that Xu Han woke up, she let go of her grip. Then, she stood up and said, "Come with me."

After saying those words, Ye Hongjian did not give Xu Han any time to react. She turned around and walked towards the distance. Xu Han saw that Qin Keqing was sleeping not far away and thought that Ah Huang was here. He thought that it would be fine, so he quickly got up and followed Ye Hongjian's footsteps.

The two walked side by side in the night.

There were withered trees everywhere. The forest was terrifyingly quiet. There was not the slightest sound. This forest was already dead.

"Do you know what I asked you to say?" Ye Hongjian looked back at Xu Han and asked softly.

Xu Han was a little guilty. Gu Zuo said, "I don't know."

"Hmph, pretend to be confused with understanding." How smart was Ye Hongjian? How could she not see through Xu Han's thoughts? She gave Xu Han another fierce glance, but that glance was filled with all sorts of emotions.

Xu Han remained silent and lowered his head in silence.

Ye Hongjian stopped at that time. She said, "Back then, our engagement was an expedient measure under helplessness. What happened in the middle was really unsatisfactory."

"But since I have decided on you, no matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side without hesitation."

Saying this, Ye Hongjian suddenly paused. She took a deep breath and said, "But if you, Xu Han, eat in the bowl and look at the pot, want to enjoy the taste of the blessing of everyone, then I can only give you two words: No way!"

Ye Hongjian's tone was firm. Xu Han smiled bitterly and said, "I have never thought of such a thing."

"Never thought about it?" Ye Hongjian's tone was a little strange. Suddenly, a sour smell filled the air, as if the aged vinegar had been knocked over on the ground. "I think if I had come a little later yesterday, you would have thought of something you didn't think about."

Xu Han was stunned. He looked at Ye Hongjian, who was filled with indignation. Only then did he realize that Ye Hongjian was still worrying about yesterday's incident.

However, it wasn't strange to think that if there was a woman in this world who didn't care about such a thing, then that woman would definitely not really like that person.

Hearing this, Xu Han naturally wanted to defend himself subconsciously.

But before she could say this, Ye Hongjian's voice sounded again.

"I know Keqing has saved your life. You don't want to let her down."

"But the longer this matter drags on, the worse it will be for her and me…"

"If you really pity us, why don't you give us a good time instead of worrying about our gains and losses?"

Ye Hongjian's voice lowered at that time, carrying a hint of loneliness. This was the first time in his life that Xu Han had seen Ye Hongjian like this since he had known her for so long.

He felt somewhat distressed and felt an urge to embrace the person in front of him.

At this moment, Ye Hongjian raised her head and looked at Xu Han.

"So…"

"Choose one." Ye Hongjian said.

Suddenly, a night breeze blew over.

Her long black hair was blown up by the night wind.

The corners of her lips curled into a smile. Her curved eyes flickered, as if she was afraid, but she stubbornly stared at Xu Han.

Ye Hongjian was a very proud person. She was born in Marquis 's Mansion and was the apple of Ye Chengtai's eye. She had a talent that surpassed that of her peers. Now, she could barely reach twenty years of age, and she had reached a realm that far surpassed ordinary people with her own comprehension.

To be able to make such a woman say such words, even Xu Han would not be able to avoid feeling a little complacent on a normal day.

But at this moment, he did not have such thoughts. His heart was touched by the girl, and he opened his mouth to say something.

"Rather than waiting, I will still lose it in the end. I think it's better to face this result now."

"I'm not afraid of losing it, I'm just afraid of losing it after I have it."

The girl opened her mouth and said again.

Then, she fell silent, quietly waiting for Xu Han to give her an answer.

But at that time, Xu Han, who was about to blurt out some words, suddenly trembled when he heard this, and the words that reached his mouth were swallowed by him.

His expression changed, but in the blink of an eye, he suppressed this abnormal situation.

Then, as if to calm down some of the turbulence in his heart, he took a deep breath and looked at Ye Hongjian again.

He lowered his head and his body.

He bowed deeply to Ye Hongjian in an extremely formal and solemn posture. Then, he spoke with a trembling but firm tone.

"Hongjian is deeply in love with the sea. To be able to obtain such a favor, I am terrified."

"But as you said, Qing Yu has saved my life. I definitely cannot afford to lose."

"Gu can only put this deep friendship into the ocean and allow Jun Dongliu…"

"But if there is an afterlife, I am willing to take the grass and form a ring in return…"
