Chapter 718 - An Uninvited Guest (1/2)

Qinghu drove the carriage quietly, and soon they arrived at a quiet abandoned wharf.

He looked around alertly. It was not until he was sure that the two of them were followed by no one that he jumped out of the carriage and picked up Lin Mengya, who had fallen asleep, from the carriage.

Fortunately, Baili Rui had added some sleep-enhancing supplements in the detoxifying pills.

Otherwise, Lin Mengya, who was laden with worries, would not have fallen asleep so easily.

After looking around and determining the direction, Qinghu tapped his tiptoe on the ground, flew into the air and gently landed on a boat.

Then he bent down and got into the cabin without greeting the boatman.

On the shore, someone had come out to get rid of the small carriage they took to come here.

As soon as the boatman tapped the tip of the paddle on the shore, the boat immediately left on the river.

A moment later, the abandoned dock fell silent again, as if no one had ever come here.

“You’ve woken up? What do you want to eat? Are you thirsty?” There came Qinghu’s voice.

Lin Mengya, who didn’t know how long she had slept, gradually woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Qinghu in front of her.

She shook her head. She, who recently had a poor appetite and usually ate porridge and some side dishes, now had no appetite at all.

“Where are we?” She asked.

Baili Rui’s sedative pills were quite effective. She was taken to the boat by Qinghu without realizing it.

She looked up at the slightly shaky ceiling painted with flowers and birds.

However, the cabin was quite spacious and furnished with all kinds of furniture, looking like a modern luxurious cruise ship.

“We’ve traveled for a day and a night, but you slept soundly and didn’t realize it. Rest assured. I’ve rented this painted pleasure boat in the name of someone else, and it sails fast. What’s more, he won’t expect us to travel in such a high-profile way,” Qinghu said with his usual frivolous smile

However, Lin Mengya found him particularly miserable.

Those ignorant of Lin Mengya’s current condition didn’t have to face her fear.

But Qinghu had to accompany her to go through all this again.

She only felt sorry for him.

“I’m sorry for bringing you here.” As she said, she reached out her arms, put them around Qinghu’s neck and pressed her cool and smooth forehead against his forehead, with her eyes filled with sadness.

“It doesn’t matter. I volunteer to come with you. In this world, you are my only family member. I’m the only one who can come with you,” Qinghu said.

His feelings for her had long developed into an affection for a family member.

He considered Lin Mengya as his younger sister and his daughter. This was the first time in his life that he had considered someone as his treasure.

He could hardly feel like a human, so he only had feelings for her.

“Fox, I can’t cry,” she whispered in his ear in a helpless tone.

Qinghu grabbed her shoulders, only to see that there was not even a tear in her sorrowful eyes.

He asked, “How come? Don’t the detoxifying pills Baili Rui gave have some effect?”

For the first time, Qinghu’s eyes were filled with unease and panic.

Lin Mengya shook her head slightly and didn’t seem to be surprised by this at all.

“Yes, they have, but they can only ease my pain. Now, I can still manage to make some relatively expansive gestures, but I seem to be incapable of something like crying.” As Lin Mengya said, she raised her hand.

Only then did Qinghu find that she was as clumsy as a child.

Her face seemed to be stiff. Apart from her fluid eyes, she even experienced difficulty in doing simple expressions.

“Don’t be afraid. We’ll be there soon. Rest assured. I’ll definitely cure you!” Qinghu said, holding her tightly in his arms.

Even Qinghu did not expect her condition would worsen so quickly that even the detoxifying pills made by Baili Rui could not improve her condition.

He was panic-stricken.

“I’m not afraid, so you don’t have to be afraid either,” Lin Mengya said and closed her eyes, feeling that she seemed to be turning into a piece of wood bit by bit.

Then what about her life? Was she going to die quietly or return to normal in the end?

She didn’t dare think about it, and she was too weak to think about it at the moment.

With Qinghu’s company, the journey became less dull.

Compared to the last trip during which they were tired with running about, this time, she and Qinghu seemed to be on a sightseeing tour.
