Chapter 4942: 5.0694 Don't Be Afraid

He cursed inwardly, his body already leaping into the air, forced to ascend.

Looking back, he saw that scoundrel Duan Si flash instantly to Qiaoqiao's side.

Duan Si pulled out a thin blanket from his inner world and wrapped it around the little stoic-face, who was looking up at him.

He picked her up, letting out a long sigh of relief.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Qin Er's eyes. He thought to himself: Why does this Duan Si seem more and more hateful the more I look at him?

Then, he could no longer continue watching. A continuous series of "boom, boom, boom!" from Divine Stone Cannons blasted Young Master Qin Er away.

When he furiously returned to the ship, he saw Qin Xuan looking at him with a half-smile.

"What are you smiling at?"

"Don't think you're clever; others aren't easily outsmarted either."

Look at that scoundrel Duan Si, how thoroughly prepared he was with both men and cannons, waiting for them here!

Qin Er was seething. He glared fiercely at Qin Xuan, feeling exceptionally uncomfortable.

So close!

It was that close, yet he still couldn't catch her...

She still slipped away right before his eyes.

Absolutely infuriating!

"Young Master Da, Young Master Er, the Cangzhou people are chasing us with Divine Stone Cannons!"

"Holy crap, these lunatics!"

Young Master Qin Da rolled his eyes at the sky, then quickly said, "Now is not the time to show our true colors. Hurry and go! Don't stand there stunned, set sail, go!! Go, go, go!"

"Boom, boom, boom."

"Boom, boom—"

The Divine Stone Cannons fired incessantly.

They blasted Young Master Qin Er's group's ships out of the sea, sending them fleeing desperately from the shore.

On the other side, Duan Yue looked down at the little stoic-face's expressionless face and subconsciously raised a hand to rub her head.

Seeing that the little stoic-face was safe and sound, his heart finally settled, and the anxiety he had felt for so many days finally stabilized.

He wrapped her in the thin blanket, then gently wiped her wet hair.

A faint silver flame flickered in his palm. In just a moment, the clothes beneath the little stoic-face's blanket were completely dry.

"Duan Yue," the little stoic-face looked at him with a face full of grievance, "Qiaoqiao's Lotus is gone."

Duan Yue's heart sank. "What happened?"

"Come, let's go ashore first and talk," he said, pulling her towards the shore and looking down at her.

"Qiaoqiao's Lotus and Rotten Peach Blossom were tricked into the Sacrificial Sea Abyss. Qiaoqiao has been waiting for them at the entrance but hasn't seen them," the little stoic-face said, her mood becoming depressed.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt her recent days had been utterly desolate.

She couldn't open her Star Domain to find her companions, couldn't wait for Mo Lian and Rotten Peach Blossom, and didn't know where they were.

Most importantly, she was also being chased by that perverted Qin Er!

"Don't be afraid," Duan Yue said softly. "No matter which remote corner that scoundrel rolls into, I can help you dig him out."

Qiao Mu nodded, feeling a sense of reassurance in her heart.

"Do you think he's in trouble?" the little stoic-face asked, just to make conversation.

But how would Duan Yue know, really? She herself had only vaguely seen Qiaoqiao's Lotus through the divine soul phantom of the Ancient Black Lotus back then.

Duan Yue, being thousands of miles away, would certainly not know anything about the situation.

The little stoic-face lowered her small head.

Suddenly, a warm hand gently caressed her head. "Silly, how could that Mo Lian guy be in trouble when anyone else could be?"

"Why?"

"Heh, haven't you heard, 'evil lives for a thousand years'?"
