Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes in disgust.

Pei Ying felt that she had no other way out and could only give it her all. She took a step forward and wanted to speak, but in the next second, Xiao Zheng’s sword was placed horizontally on her neck. It was just a hair’s breadth away, and blood was about to flow!

Xie Xingyun said coldly, “Either get lost or die.”

Pei Ying’s entire body was trembling as she collapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Xiao Zheng said to the guard, “Men, throw her down. If she gets any closer, kill her.”

Pei Ying could not utter a single word. She was grabbed by someone and thrown into the water!

Gu Yu was so anxious in the room that smoke rose from his head as he searched for the Gu worms.

However, he did not know that there was a tiny tail in Pei Ying’s hair.

She was stunned for a few seconds. She knew that her seduction had completely failed, but there was still a long way to go to the shore. Her stamina was not enough to swim over!

There were only two ships here. She definitely could not go up to Xie Xingyun’s ship, so Bai Xianyu’s was the only one left!

Se??ch ?ew?o?e?(.)o?g o? ?oo?l?

And so.

Half an hour later, Pei Ying dejectedly climbed onto the ship again. Bai Xianyu was on the deck studying the chess manual. When Bai Li saw Pei Ying, he frowned and said, “Miss, that woman has boarded the ship again.”

Bai Xianyu raised her eyebrows. “She’s not dead?”

“She’s not dead.”

Pei Ying did not dare to get too close. She just kept kowtowing to Bai Xianyu, each kowtow heavier than the last.

“Miss Bai, 1 know my mistake! I don’t blame myself for being possessed, I shouldn’t have lied!”

“Miss, 1 beg you to be lenient and take me in for a few more days. When we arrive, 1 will definitely leave on my own!”

“Please, Miss!”

Green Pearl saw that Pei Ying’s forehead was bleeding from kowtowing and was still kowtowing. “Miss Bai, please forgive me. Just allow me to sleep here. 1 beg you!”

“I don’t know if there are still parents and brothers in my family. If 1 die like this, who will be filial to them in the future? Although I’m in the wrong, 1 don’t deserve to die!”

“Miss!”

She kowtowed and actually knocked herself unconscious. The deck was covered in her blood!

Green Pearl was also from a poor family and could not stand suffering the most. She could not help but plead, “Miss, why don’t we let her stay for a few more days? If she’s the only child in her family, her parents will be heartbroken. Although seducing Young Master is wrong, she’s right. She doesn’t deserve to die. If we still throw her down when she has fainted, wouldn’t that be murder…”

Bai Xianyu did not look at Pei Ying. She propped up her chin and drew the position of the white chess piece on the paper. “She can’t stay.”

Green Pearl was a little disappointed, but she did not say anything else.

Bai Xianyu put down her pen. “…Give her a small boat and throw her in. Leave it to fate.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If she died just like that, and this was even an official ship, it was inevitable for them to be branded as someone who disregarded human lives. Although she did not care about her reputation, she still cared about her brother’s reputation. After all, now… countless people were watching him to see if he would make a mistake.

Green Pearl was delighted. This was good too. If she did not encounter any pirates, she would at least have a chance to survive.

Bai Xianyu yawned. “Get someone to prepare hot water.”

“Yes, Miss!”

Green Pearl sent someone to boil water and took out a few taels of silver from her purse.

Pei Ying had really fainted.

Green Pearl and a servant girl carried her onto the small boat and stuffed the silver into Pei Ying’s clothes.

After doing all this, the small boat wobbled on the water. Green Pearl washed her hands and went to assist Bai Xianyu with her bath.

Green Pearl tidied up Bai Xianyu’s bedclothes and placed them on the ancient shelf. The other two maidservants held Bai Xianyu’s hands and let her step into the water.

Five o’clock in the morning.

A small Gu worm struggled to break free from the girl’s hair, its breath was a little weak.

It successfully moved down her arm.

When Bai Xianyu woke up, she realized that there was a small red bump on her wrist, as if she had been bitten by a mosquito.

She did not pay attention. After a while, the small bump disappeared.

When she opened the window, it was a rare sunny day.

Bai Xianyu closed her eyes in satisfaction and felt it for a while. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Xie Xingyun skillfully jumping onto the deck of the ship with a small bag in his hand.

For some reason, Bai Xianyu’s heart seemed to have been stung by something and hurt slightly.

Xie Xingyun was already standing in front of her. “You’re awake?”

Bai Xianyu felt that Xie Xingyun seemed especially pleasing to the eye today. She acknowledged gently.

Xie Xingyun thought to himself, ‘It is indeed right to come in the morning.

Little Yu is still in a daze and would be easy to talk to.

“Pineapple crips, do you want to try them?”

Bai Xianyu hesitated for a moment, and her heart beat faster.

“I haven’t rinsed my mouth yet.” She wondered at the change in herself. “I’ll eat them later.”

Xie Xingyun had always pushed his luck. When he heard this, he jumped through the window and hugged her.

Bai Xianyu wanted to refuse, but her body seemed to like his touch very much. Her hands had even wrapped around his waist before she realized it.

This way, Xie Xingyun hugged her even deeper. The difference was that he was more surprised than shocked.

He leaned close to her ear and chuckled. “Sneaking up on me?”

Bai Xianyu immediately wanted to retract her hands, but the moment she did this, her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife, and tears welled up.

When Xie Xingyun heard her soft sobbing, he was stunned. He looked away and frowned as he stared into her eyes.

“Why are you crying? Who bullied you?”

Bai Xianyu felt an indescribable feeling in her heart as she looked at him with red eyes.

Xie Xingyun’s heart felt like it was being squeezed by a big hand. He said softly, “It’s me?”

Bai Xianyu did not answer for a long time.

He felt a little down. “I’m sorry.”

His grip on her shoulders gradually loosened.

But the girl grabbed the back of his hands.

Xie Xingyun was stunned.

Bai Xianyu’s almond-shaped eyes were wet with dew as she stared at him. Her fair neck was slightly raised.

Xie Xingyun frowned and started to think about what he had done wrong.

In the end, she said, “The pineapple crisps are too ugly.”

Xie Xingyun,”…”
