With jet-black, lustrous hair, two bright, clear eyes, accompanied by an icy, beautiful face, Leng Yue stood straight behind Xiaofan. Her eyes gently gazed at the man before her.
She didn't guess wrong; he really did co.
Initially, when Xiaofan asked Leng Yue to get out of the car, she didn't imdiately guess that Xiaofan would co onto the ship alone.
However, with a flash of insight, Leng Yue realized it.
During the interrogation of Lingze, he specifically inquired about the details of Lingze's transport this ti. He asked every detail about the ship type, hatches, and the number of people.
At that ti, it was presud that Xiaofan intended to act at the port, but unexpectedly, they planned to intercept Muto midway. Therefore, it wasn't necessary to ask so many irrelevant questions.
However, Leng Yue knew that Xiaofan couldn't be doing anything useless. If he asked that way, there must be a reason.
Thus, an astonishing thought popped into Leng Yue's mind, and then she ca. And then, she really saw him.
Pulling Leng Yue along, Xiaofan led her to the storage compartnt where he had been hiding.
"Why are you here too?"
"Looking for you."
"I..."
Although Xiaofan's face was full of reproach, he couldn't speak harshly. No matter what, if Leng Yue hadn't shown up in ti to bail him out, he might have been exposed on the ship.
Once exposed on the ship, it would be undoubtedly fatal for Xiaofan.
But despite knowing how dangerous the environnt was, Leng Yue followed along. In fact, she boarded the ship even earlier than he did.
"Do you know how dangerous it is here? You could die at any mont."
"Then why did you co aboard?" Leng Yue retorted.
"I had no choice; I had to co."
"Well, neither did I..."
"You..."
Leng Yue's persistence moved Xiaofan while also leaving him conflicted.
"Since you know boarding the ship could an death, yet you still ca, it's because you must co. You have your beliefs and your dedication. No one can stop you. And I have my persistence too. I said once that in this lifeti, life and death, I will not leave you."
Looking at Leng Yue's clear and earnest eyes, Xiaofan sighed deeply in his heart.
"It truly might lead to death."
"If you die, what aning would my life have then?"
"But what if you lose your life in vain?"
"For you, I am willing..."
"..."
What could he say? What else could Xiaofan say? In this deadlock, there's soone who remains unwavering, life and death by your side.
Xiaofan wasn't being pretentious; rather, the emotional debt he owed had piled up like a mountain. How could he refuse Leng Yue's deep feelings within the martial world?
"I'm already here, and your lack of Japanese language skills is a glaring flaw. Even if you want gone, you can't chase away now." Leng Yue's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of amusent, seemingly quite pleased with how events unfolded without prior notice.
"Leng Yue, listen to , you're a good girl. You have a bright future ahead. You can find your own life in Huaxia. There will be soone who loves you wholeheartedly there..."
"That person must be you..."
"I... listen to ..."
Before Xiaofan could say more, Leng Yue's lips were already against his.
Not letting him speak further, not wanting to hear his nonsense.
These words must have turned into calluses on the ears by now. She sumd up all those words into a single kiss, wanting to tell him she's hopelessly in love with him. For this love, she can give up everything, without caring about the outco, stubbornly loving with all her heart this lifeti.
Outside the storeroom, people passed by from ti to ti, yet they couldn't extinguish Leng Yue's passion for Xiaofan.
She was anticipating, expressing with body language, a plea to not be rejected anymore.
Gently wrapping his hands around Leng Yue's waist, slowly tightening, then holding her tightly, responding to her passion.
Hot tears flowed down her cheeks. What about the future? She stopped pondering. Even facing death ahead, she's willing, unwavering until the end...
The sea winds blew softly, seagulls circled around the freighter, the air carrying a faint salty sll of the sea.
The sea's afterglow looked so beautiful at this mont.
Truth be told, Xiaofan always yearned for a life by the sea, planning to play along the coastal areas when free. He wonders if such an opportunity will present itself in the future.
Still, there's no need to be overly pessimistic. Xiaofan ca not to court death.
For now, hiding in the shadows is Xiaofan's greatest advantage. Although Xiaofan will eventually have to face a life-and-death battle with Muto, having such a plan proves that there's a chance to fight back.
The widely circulated rumor about Japan's second top fighter—ultimately, he is just an ordinary man, flesh and blood. As long as he is human, there will be a ti to die.
This very morning, didn't Muto nearly fall under the combined effort of the three of them? So, while he might possess formidable strength, it doesn't an he's invincible.
When the sun had half-sunk below the horizon, the freighter finally ca to a slow stop by the island.
The area of the island wasn't sothing Xiaofan had looked into beforehand, and even when asking Lingze, he couldn't provide clear info.
However, observing the densely packed woods ahead with a large hidden research base, thankfully, it wasn't the type of island that could be seen from one end to the other at a glance. With such a large area, even if discovered, Xiaofan could temporarily hide; it would take the other side a while to find him.
"Futoshi Muto, gentlen. We've arrived at the base."
Once the ship docked, soone ca to notify Muto and the others.
"Hmm. Unload the cargo,"
Muto said indifferently, maintaining a very calm expression, quietly gazing at the teacup on the table. No one knew what he was thinking.
"What are you thinking about, Senior Brother? You weren't scared by today's encounter with those three youngsters, were you?"
"..." Muto glared at his junior brother, ignoring his sarcastic remarks.
But, there was one thing his junior said right—he was contemplating today's encounter with Ye Xiaofan. But he couldn't shake the feeling that sothing was off.
It seed like today's Ye Xiaofan was quite different than the one he contended with back at the Kyoto base.
"Senior Brother Muto, the ship has docked, are we just going to stay in the cabin sipping tea? If there's sothing you can't figure out, just say it out loud."
Another elder's voice was much more soothing.
Upon hearing this, Muto glanced at the speaking junior, and softly replied, "I just feel that today, Ye Xiaofan didn't exert his full strength..."
"Nani?"
That statent from Muto nearly knocked the three of them off their feet in shock.
