Chapter 2283: Chapter 2303: She’s so guarded against me, afraid I’ll seduce her_1

By the time Lin Chen and the others arrived at the seaside pier, they spotted the Sea King immediately.

It was Lin Chen’s first time seeing it, but with just one glance, he knew it had to be the Sea King.

Because it was simply too big.

The entire ship, docked at the pier, looked like a fortress on the sea, making the other large cargo ships surrounding it seem small and charming by comparison.

Chen Youdong brought only one guard, a taciturn middle-aged man. The five of them reached the Sea King and noticed two stairways for boarding, one for the common cabins and the other for the higher-class cabins.

Lin Chen’s lips curled slightly. Wasn’t this just a VIP passageway?

Such a familiar scene!

Everyone checked their tickets at the entrance, then followed the directions and walked up to board the ship.

The entire Sea King was divided into six levels, with the lower three for economy class, the sixth for higher-class cabins, and the fourth and fifth levels provided various services for eating, drinking, and entertainment, such as restaurants, casinos, ballrooms, and other facilities.

The whole sixth floor was divided into the front, middle, and rear sections, and they were separate. Lin saw that the entire visiting delegation, including all the guards, were accommodated in the front section, which also boasted the best views of the entire ship.

Lin Chen and his companions were located in the rear section. Lin, Purple Cloud, and Lu Yao’s rooms were adjacent, with Chen Youdong’s room across from them, not far away.

Lin Chen stood by the railing, taking in the scenery, when a group of people emerged from the stairwell. It was none other than the veiled lady he had seen in the inn the day before.

In front of the veiled lady walked two handmaids and two guards, along with a head guard—a total of six people. They had four rooms altogether, with the head guard and the veiled lady each occupying one room, the two handmaids sharing another room, and the two guards the last room.

Quite coincidentally, these four rooms were next to Lin Chen and his companions. The guard leader glanced at Lin Chen and his group before efficiently organizing the rooms.

The two guards stayed next to Lin Chen’s room, followed by the room of the veiled lady, then the handmaids’ room, with the room of the guard leader facing directly across from that of the veiled lady.

The four rooms were arranged in a character shape, with the veiled lady’s room encircled in the center.

The veiled lady caught sight of Lin Chen and paused momentarily, giving him a slight nod.

Lin Chen was slightly surprised but smiled and returned the gesture, without saying a word.

The guard leader entered the veiled lady’s room first, inspected it thoroughly, and came out to give instructions, "There must be someone outside Miss’s room door for 24-hour service and defense. You four, split into two teams, one guard and one maid per team. Switch every half-day. If anything happens, report to me immediately."

"Yes," they replied.

After issuing his orders, one guard and one maid stood outside the veiled lady’s room door while the other maid helped the veiled lady into her room.

The guard leader turned his head and, with a cupped fist salute, said to Lin Chen and his group, "This is my Miss’s first time traveling far from home. She might be a bit of a nuisance, and we might disturb you. Please, bear with us."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "When traveling abroad, encountering each other is fate. You are too polite."

The guard leader introduced himself, "I am Fang Shan’an. May I ask how to address you all?"

Lin Chen introduced himself and the others. For some reason, Lin Chen clearly saw a slight easing of tension when Fang Shan’an heard that he and Purple Cloud were husband and wife.

"What does he mean by that? As if being single, I could just whisk his young lady away?" Lin Chen thought back to Fang Shan’an’s change of expression as he spoke with irritation back in the room, "Such an overly cautious mindset."

Purple Cloud smiled with pursed lips, "This means your image and temperament are attractive to women. That lady clearly has been well protected since she was young and hasn’t interacted much with men. With such a long time on the ship and being neighbors, as a guard, he must be worried that Miss could be charmed by someone with unknown intentions and take a liking to him."

"Is it really necessary?"

Lin Chen replied with a helpless expression, "Though that woman looks young, her cultivation is clearly not weak..."

"For women, how high their realm is has no direct relation to whether they fall for a man or not. A woman of lofty cultivation can still fall in love with a male cultivator of low strength and lacking prospects of cultivation..."

Lin Chen reached out and took Purple Cloud’s hand, saying with a grin, "That almost sounds like the story of how you fell in love with me."

Purple Cloud leaned into Lin Chen, smiling gently, "I was hardly of high cultivation back then. Besides, when I met you, you had just become an Earth Immortal. In just this short time, you have already reached the realm of a Daluo Immortal, equal to me. If we talk about combat power, I fear I wouldn’t even be your match now."

Lin Chen wrapped his arms around Purple Cloud’s slim waist, gently caressing it, "Doesn’t that just show you have good eyesight?"

Purple Cloud gave Lin Chen a glance and playfully pressed down on his mischievous hand, "I don’t know what I was thinking back then. You spied on me, and I didn’t even kill you instantly to silence you..."

Lin Chen retorted innocently, "Can you blame me? I was there first, and you started undressing as soon as you arrived. I didn’t dare make a sound, hoping you wouldn’t notice me, but you still caught me..."
