Chapter 2291: Chapter 2311: What do you mean by saying this to me!_1
There were many playful activities on the ship that could indeed make one forget one’s homeland, but for Lin Chen, they were merely a way to pass the time, and he couldn’t possibly become lost in them.
As Lin Chen and Purple Cloud were chatting in their room, a sudden loud commotion came from outside the door; it originated from the entrance of the room where the lady with the veiled face resided.
The voice of the lady with the veiled face was clear and melodious, like that of an oriole singing, but it was filled with irritation, "I want to go out for a walk, I’m almost going crazy. Wasn’t it said that there are many things to do on this ship?"
The handmaid’s firm voice attempted to persuade her, "Miss, please stay inside your room; it’s not safe outside."
The anger of the lady with the veiled face became more apparent, "We are already at sea, who would possibly harm me? You don’t even let me out of the door all day long, those who know would say I’m a miss, those who don’t think I’m a prisoner being transported!"
The handmaid’s gentle voice soothed her, "Miss, please bear with it a bit longer. Once we reach our destination and have their protection, we won’t need to worry about safety anymore."
Lin Chen and Purple Cloud, with the mentality of enjoying the show, had just stepped out of their room when the door to the veiled lady’s room was suddenly thrust open with a loud crash.
"Bang!"
The lady with the veiled face stormed out of her room, visibly upset, and happened to run into Lin Chen and Purple Cloud who had stepped out to watch the excitement. She paused for a moment and then quickly concealed her furious expression, returning to her noblewoman demeanor.
Yo ho, that was a quick change of style!
At that moment, the room door opposite them opened, and Fang Shan’an, the head of the guards, appeared at the entrance with a stern face.
"Miss, where do you wish to go?"
The lady with the veiled face seemed somewhat afraid of Fang Shan’an, and her voice fell a few notches, "Aren’t there many places to eat, drink, and have fun on this ship? I’m almost suffocating in my room, so I wanted to walk around the ship..."
Fang Shan’an replied with a stern face, "Miss, now is not the time to be willful. For your safety, it’s best you stay inside your room. Although the journey is long, you can use the time for peaceful meditation and cultivation—it will pass quickly."
Before the lady with the veiled face could respond, Fang Shan’an’s gaze swept past the handmaid at the door and he said coldly, "Aren’t you going to help the miss back to her room?"
The lady with the veiled face stomped her foot in anger and turned back into her room, followed by a handmaid quickly turning to enter as well.
Fang Shan’an, noticing Lin Chen and Purple Cloud watching the commotion at the entrance, turned around, his usually stoic face showing a hint of a smile, "My apologies, fellow cultivators. I’m sorry for the disturbance."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No problem, no problem."
Fang Shan’an turned as if to leave, hesitated, then turned back and said with a smile, "Our miss is on her way to get married."
On her way to get married?
This made sense; after all, with Eastern Brilliance and the Northern Sea separated by the Endless Sea, it certainly would be too late to fetch the bride on the wedding day, and thus it was common to send the girl to stay near her husband-to-be’s home and then proceed with the marriage ceremonies.
But why deliberately mention this to me, what’s your point?
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Unable to contain his curiosity, Lin Chen asked, "With powerhouses stationed on the ship, it must be very safe, right? There’s no need for Fang Dao Friend to be too nervous..."
Fang Shan’an appeared hesitant, as if wanting to say something, but in the end, he remained silent, simply nodding to Lin Chen in a gesture of thanks for the comfort.
Lin Chen and Purple Cloud returned to their room, where Purple Cloud sighed, "That miss is really pitiable, all alone being sent to a foreign land to marry, with not a single relative to see her off, and she might even have to marry by herself in the future..."
Lin Chen looked sideways at Purple Cloud, admiring the delicate curve of her chin, and said with a smile, "What’s the matter, empathizing, sympathizing with her?"
Purple Cloud nodded, "A little. These noblewomen seem to come from prominent families and live glamorous lives, but in reality, most of them have their destinies set from birth. That is to use their marriages as political alliances to secure advantages for their families."
Lin Chen nodded, "That’s true."
Purple Cloud thought for a moment, "No, I feel uncomfortable about it. I’ll go talk to her later; she looks quite lonely on her own."
"Alright, you go. Consider it a way to spend the time."
"Yes!"
In the evening, Lin Chen was sleeping when suddenly the cabin shook violently, followed by the roar of a Demonic Beast echoing throughout.
"Demonic Beast attack!"
Lin Chen sprang up from his bed, his gaze shocked: they had really encountered a Demonic Beast attack?
Quickly getting dressed, Lin Chen dashed out of the room and saw Fang Shan’an emerging from the opposite room.
"Boom!"
Another loud noise, something had slammed against the Protective Barrier of the ship.
"Passengers of the Sea King, we have encountered a Sea Demon attack, but please do not worry too much. We will defeat the Sea Demon shortly. Please stay in your cabins and do not go out!"
Lin Chen leaped into the air, flew a distance, and saw a huge tentacle suddenly emerging from the sea, ruthlessly smashing into the Barrier.
An octopus?
That octopus was quite bold to dare attack the Sea King openly. Was it too full of itself?
