Chapter 342: Stop Deceiving Yourself
The vast ocean is a deep blue, mysterious and beautiful, yet full of hidden dangers.
On this tranquil sea, a black wooden boat was moving quickly forward, riding on the rolling waves.
Lan Xiu leaned on the railing of the boat, his long silver hair as white as frost and snow fluttering in the sea breeze, his handsome and evil face was covered with gloom, his sharp and deep eyes were filled with cold and gloomy colors, exuding the danger of the abyss.
His bony fingers tightly grasped the boat's railing, which turned slightly white from being held too tightly, revealing his inner unrest.
Watching her being swept away by that damned mermaid that day broke his heart, but the fierce waves and the shoal of sharks forced him to avoid them. He returned to the Ghost Island with a serious injury and held on for dear life.
Almost the moment he returned to the island, he sent people to inform the Mermaid King and tried his best to hunt down the evil mermaid who escaped from prison.
The sea area is the mermaids’ territory, so naturally they are faster than him in finding people.
However, he had not expected those mermaids to be so useless. Even with so many troops, they failed to catch and kill the evil mermaid, and let him escape!
And Feifei completely disappeared...
He couldn't feel her breath, which made his chest feel like it was broken and he was in great pain.
He closed his eyes bitterly, and his hands tightened.
The ebony could not withstand his strength and made a crisp "crack" sound.
Just as he was feeling sad, a black shadow appeared in the gray sky, almost covering the sun.
"Chirp—"
The high-pitched and piercing eagle cry sounded.
The Mo Xiao soaring in the sky cast its sharp gaze on the small black dot moving on the ocean. Its dark pupils shrank and it swooped down.
As it got closer, it turned into an orc and landed steadily on the deck.
When Lan Xiu saw him, the anxiety and gloom on his face disappeared. He took a step forward and excitedly pressed his good brother's shoulder.
"Mo Xiao, have you seen Feifei?!"
The Feather Tribe has sharp eyesight, so maybe Mo Xiao knows Feifei's whereabouts.
Seeing that he was still trying his best to look for her, Mo Xiao pursed his lips and did not hide the fact that he had met Feifei.
He thought Lan Xiu must have just chased here from the previous island.
He said in a deep voice: "I was the one who took her away that day."
Lan Xiu's icy blue eyes suddenly lit up, and he was ecstatic, "Where is she?"
"Where is Feifei? Tell me quickly!"
He excitedly shook his good brother who was fighting side by side with him, but when he saw that he lowered his head in silence and no longer answered, the joy in his eyes faded away bit by bit, and his heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
Her face darkened, and she pushed him away viciously, her eyes as cold as a blade, "Since you found her, why don't you bring her back to the Ghost Island?!"
"Mo Xiao, you clearly know that I have been looking for her, and you also know how important Feifei is to me..."
Mo Xiao frowned, "She asked me to send her back to land, so I followed her wishes."
"I won't force her like you do."
Moreover, Lan Xiu was in the same situation as him, both were wandering beasts walking on the edge of a knife. Even though he had now conquered the Ghost Island, there were still countless dangers hidden there.
Because they are prisoners living in darkness, killing can happen at any time and if they are not careful they may die on the spot, let alone protecting females.
If stray animals like them cannot settle down and ensure 100% safety, they have no right to have females keep them by their side and no right to be loved.
Putting the other person in danger is not love, but selfish possession.
He didn't want to go through the pain of almost losing her forever again, so he wouldn't compromise again.
Lan Xiu sneered without commenting, "Force?"
"What makes you think I forced her?"
"Fei Fei said in person that she is willing to go back to live with me on the Ghost Island."
"After being separated for so long, I finally found her. I was just this close... and what about you? You actually let her go. You are really my good brother..."
His tone was so cold that his back teeth seemed to be almost broken.
Mo Xiao pursed his lips slightly, still determined in his thoughts, "Fei Fei, is she really willing to be with you, or is it a last resort? You know it in your heart."
"Did you ask for her opinion when you secretly took her out of Beast King City? Did you get her consent?"
"If she really wanted to, she would have asked me to send her to the Ghost Island to find you instead of asking me to send her back to the land."
"Lan Xiu, stop deceiving yourself."
"Shut up!" Lan Xiu shouted angrily and punched a big hole in the railing.
His cold jawline was taut, exuding a deathly chill, and his eyes were bloodshot like a bloodthirsty beast about to lose control, so violent.
The terrifying momentum made all the stray animals on the boat terrified and almost pissed themselves off.
I was afraid that I would be tortured to death if I wasn't careful.
His chest was heaving violently, his unruly face was filled with a cold murderous aura, and his deep voice seemed to contain ice, "Leave immediately now!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but kill you."
The dangerous aura was blowing in his face, but Mo Xiao remained calm and said tiredly, "I don't mean to stop you from being with her, but you should try to think from her perspective instead of just thinking about yourself."
"If we continue like this, we will only hurt others and ourselves."
"That's all I have to say. Take care."
He sighed helplessly, stopped persuading, stretched out wings from behind, turned into a beast, flew into the sky, and quickly returned to the top of the clouds.
But I don’t want my words to come true in the future.
Watching the familiar black figure disappear into the mist, Lan Xiu smiled bitterly and raised his hand to slowly cover his face.
My heart hurts like it's being stabbed by a knife or an axe.
Why do everyone want to go against him?
It would be fine if it happened to others, but even his good brothers who had shared life and death with him did not approve of him and went against him.
He just wants to be with his beloved female, why is it so difficult?
Just because he is a heinous stray animal, does that mean he doesn't deserve happiness?
It turns out that if you commit too many sins, you will suffer retribution.
He tried hard to suppress the sob deep in his throat, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the vast coastline in despair.
After an unknown amount of time, his Adam's apple slid down with difficulty, and he ordered in a dull tone, "Turn around."
His voice was so hoarse that it almost broke in the sea breeze.
what?
The stray animals were shocked and looked puzzled, wondering if they had heard it wrong.
It was not until he received the ghost king's chilling gaze that he suddenly reacted and shouted in fear, "Turn around, turn around!"
"Turn around right now and go back to the island..."
Watching the black ship turn around, Lan Xiu's red eyes revealed his unconcealable worry and fatigue.
He decided to give up.
Mo Xiao was right in one thing. He couldn't always be so overbearing and stubbornly tie her to his side regardless of her wishes.
The next time they met, he wanted to appear beside her with a completely new identity.
