Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2123: Chapter 2123: King of the Pirates (14)

The Great Island Lord didn’t expect things to turn out like this. What’s the relation between that Medicine Person and the Sea God, and why...

The Sea God requires blood sacrifice every half month. How can Xiuxiu endure that?

The Great Island Lord simply couldn’t understand.

Not just the Great Island Lord was confused; even the Third Island Lord couldn’t fathom this affair.

They wanted to send someone to capture Chuzheng, but they didn’t know her hiding place.

After returning, Ye Xiuxiu fell ill. The Medicine Persons from the same batch as Chuzheng were all already... No one could withstand those medicines like her.

The Great Island Lord looked at Ye Xiuxiu, who was worse than dead, so worried that his hair turned white.

But besides worrying, he could only helplessly watch just like before when the Medicine Person was not around.

"That slave from the Zhou Family..." The Great Island Lord remembered the matter: "She personally took him away. What’s their relationship?"

If they are connected, capturing that slave might force her to appear.

The Third Island Lord shook his head: "He returned to the Zhou Family. The Medicine Person hasn’t shown up. No one saw them interact previously."

The Great Island Lord: "..."

-

The Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Feng lay in bed, and Bu Qing’s life became much easier. The Zhou Family was afraid the Sea God might still need him, so they treated him slightly better.

Yet Bu Qing dared not slack off, carrying a large basin of clothes to the seaside to wash.

His wrist was injured, making it difficult to hold, pausing occasionally.

Bu Qing wanted to rest before continuing, suddenly feeling his grip lighten as the wooden basin was taken away.

The young boy was momentarily stunned, awkwardly twisting his neck to look at the sudden appearance.

How did she come...

Seeing this person gave Bu Qing a feeling of wanting to escape; they weren’t from the same world.

She was so kind to him that he couldn’t help but have thoughts he shouldn’t.

But what if one day she took back her kindness?

Bu Qing couldn’t gamble.

Chuzheng: "Who told you to wash clothes?"

The young boy lowered his head and reached to take the wooden basin from Chuzheng’s hands.

This was what he... should do; no one instructed him.

He was merely a slave purchased by the Zhou Family.

"I’ll carry it for you." Chuzheng didn’t hand it back, transferring the basin to the other side.

The young boy shook his head, indicating he could manage, as if not carrying it himself would cause major trouble.

Chuzheng reached out to him: "Then carry me."

Bu Qing: "!!!"

Of course, Bu Qing didn’t touch Chuzheng’s hand, keeping his head low, stepping forward on the sand.

Chuzheng caught up to him, taking his hand in stride.

Bu Qing quickly turned back, emotions surging in his eyes, unable to tell if it was shock, embarrassment, or fear and panic.

Chuzheng spoke calmly: "Don’t struggle, or your wound might bleed."

Bu Qing: "..."

The young boy seemed bullied, misty eyes casting a grievance-filled look at her.

Chuzheng pretended not to notice, holding onto her Good Person Card with ease.

The girl’s hands were warm and delicate, a feeling unfamiliar to Bu Qing. Being held by her made it feel like the whole world was warming.

But, sensing the callouses and wounds on his hands, Bu Qing felt ashamed, fearing she might find him repulsive, afraid she’d see him in such an unsightly state.

Still, he craved the warmth from her hands, unable to decide to pull away.

Just... just for a little while.

Upon reaching the usual washing area, Bu Qing pulled away from Chuzheng, taking back the basin.

Suddenly exerting force on his wrist made him weaken, causing the basin to fall, but Chuzheng quickly reached to catch it.

"Let me do it."

Chuzheng placed the basin aside, regaining composure, then lifted him from the waist.

The young boy’s body rose abruptly, instinctively clinging to Chuzheng due to the sensation of losing weight.

Chuzheng paused, looking down at him.

Like a cat, the young boy curled up. Meeting Chuzheng’s gaze, he realized his actions and hastily let go.

"Don’t move; you’ll fall." Chuzheng warned him.

The young boy still retracted his hand, wanting to get down.

Chuzheng suddenly loosened her grip, and instinctively, the boy held onto her neck again.

His head rested near Chuzheng’s neck, forehead touching her skin, gradually spreading warmth.

His breath faltered.

He stiffened, not daring to move.

It seemed like he could hear the sound of her blood circulation...

Chuzheng contentedly carried him to a nearby rock, magically producing a cloak from somewhere, laying it on the rock, then settling him onto it.

"Sit still." Chuzheng patted his head, handing him a packet of snacks.

The young boy’s thoughts were frozen, blankly staring at her.

Chuzheng took the basin to the seaside, while Bu Qing curled up his legs, hugging them, watching the distant figure.

In the distance, where the sea meets the sky, the fishy sea breeze blew on his face softly, tenderly, and moistly...

For the first time, Bu Qing found the sea breeze sweet.

-

Chuzheng quickly returned, placing the basin aside, flicking the water from her hands, then sitting next to the young boy.

Bu Qing shifted slightly aside, giving Chuzheng more room.

He cautiously handed Chuzheng the snacks she had given him earlier.

"Why aren’t you eating? Do you not like it?" It was the best treat made here.

Bu Qing shook his head.

Chuzheng couldn’t quite understand his meaning, feeling a bit anxious.

Chuzheng took the snacks back, picking out a piece, and held it to his mouth: "Try a bite."

Bu Qing hadn’t anticipated Chuzheng’s move, already feeling the delicacy on his lips. The sweet aroma enveloped him suddenly.

Bu Qing shook his head again.

He didn’t need to eat such good things...

"If you don’t eat, I’ll have to feed you?"

The young boy turned his head to look at her, perhaps not quite understanding what she meant, wasn’t she already...

Chuzheng suddenly gripped his chin, forcing him to raise his head, and then threw the snack in.

With her fingers under his chin, she made him close his mouth, commanding: "Swallow it."

Bu Qing: "!!!"

Bu Qing turned aside, clutching his mouth, silently coughing a couple of times.

The unfamiliar taste spread across his taste buds, the sweet flavor expanding all the way into his heart.

"Is it delicious?"

Bu Qing didn’t dare to lie, meekly nodding.

He hadn’t eaten anything better before.

Chuzheng offered another piece.

The young boy hesitated, probably recalling Chuzheng’s previous action, opening his lips slightly, and took the snack.

Chuzheng watched as he ate, resembling a small hamster, inexplicably adorable.

"Do you want to leave the Zhou Family?" Chuzheng asked him.

Bu Qing paused, leave the Zhou Family??

He was a slave of the Zhou Family, if he left, where could he go? Besides, the Zhou Family... wouldn’t release someone so easily.

Chuzheng continued: "I can help you, just say you want it."

Bu Qing shook his head vigorously.

No... No way... It would bring her trouble. The Zhou Family... The Zhou Family is strong.

"Don’t want to follow me?"

Bu Qing’s pupils slightly contracted, follow her?

With her, Bu Qing felt he was not a slave but truly a person.

He...

The light in Bu Qing’s eyes didn’t fully brighten before dimming again.

He pointed towards the direction of the Zhou Family, then extended two fingers, mimicking a walking motion.

He had been out too long and needed to return.
