Chapter 470 - 471 Secret I wont tell you

Chapter 470 -471 “Secret, I won’t tell you.
That evening, after resting up, Qi Yue insisted on following Zhao Xiyan to check on the situation, no matter what.
“If you leave me here alone, aren’t you afraid that some formidable character will suddenly appear and abduct me? Maybe by the time you return, I will be gone, and you’ll never see me again…”
“I don’t allow…”
Zhao Xiyan roared at her anxiously and angrily.
“Mmm mmm…”
Her incessant babble was suddenly silenced.
Her waist was gripped by two hands as strong as iron pincers, and her tongue felt painfully pulled by the man.
“Mmm mmm…”
Qi Yue kept dodging, and it was only when she noticed the corners of the man’s eyes already turning red did a sense of fear dawn on her.
Zhao Xiyan was a little bit crazy.
She decided it would be best to provoke him less in the future!
Eventually, the man tethered her to his side.
And it was indeed a tether!
Watching Zhao Xiyan use a rope to connect their arms, all while wearing a smug look, Qi Yue felt like crying but had no tears.
What could she do?
She had brought this trouble upon herself, so she had to endure it!
At least she was able to go and have some fun.
To move more conveniently, Song Gensheng had pointed out a place, and Qi Yue let him go back.
Just the two of them, she and Zhao Xiyan, could move almost without making a sound.
Zhao Xiyan’s qinggong and Qingzhu were on a par, and in critical moments, Qi Yue could still take them both into her space.
Their cooperation was simply unbeatable.
“My lord, this place doesn’t seem to have any anomalies!”
Qi Yue lay on Zhao Xiyan’s back, her eyes busily scanning all around.
What they called the sea was actually just a sea corner, named Gemidu Bay.
To the south of the bay was Nanling, under the jurisdiction of Longnan County Government, formerly belonging to Beiyuan, now belonging to Zhao Xiyan.
And to the north was where they currently were, the coast of Gemidu City.
There, they could only see various oddly shaped large stones.
The strange thing was that these stones were all clumped together, seemingly inseparable, and they appeared quite eerie.
The summer breeze was cool, constantly bringing the salty and fishy wind.
For the pregnant Qi Yue, this sensation was subtly making her feel nauseous.
This unique geographical feature meant that it was very easy to reach the Nanling Marine Area across the bay, and then enter Longnan County Government.
This route was much easier than entering through the north into the Northern Ridge.
After all, the Northern Ridge was vast with forests, and the dangers and unknowns there were much more complicated than building a ship.
Thus, after the Nanyue people colluded with Hu Chengxuan and killed Qi Yunzhang years ago, they shifted their focus to the Nanling Marine Area.
Over a decade, the Nanyue people built one large ship after another.
Then crossing the sea to Nanling, they conducted business, gathered intelligence, and from the current situation, it seemed they were clearly preparing to attack Nanling.
Had it not been for Qi Yunzhang setting up the Pearl Field in Nanling a few years back, placing a large number of exiles in this marine area to create layers upon layers of networks in the sea, Nanyue people might have taken over Longnan County Government long ago.
Qi Yue sighed softly, looking even farther away.
There, like floors of a building, stood towering dark silhouettes, comparable to majestic mountains in the night.
Those were the tower ships of the Nanyue Army, and beside them was the Nanyue Army’s camp at Gemidu City.
While observing, Qi Yue sighed in her heart once more.
The Nanyue people were indeed formidable, having built such large tower ships under such primitive conditions.
Of the four countries with coastal access, other than Nanyue, there was only the former Beiyuan.
The Nanyue knew to build ships for maritime crossing, maintaining the link between sea and land with Beiyuan, while Beiyuan was just nothing.
The rulers were truly useless and foolish.
But now things were much easier!
She could instantly fill the seas of Nanling with ironclad ships, the kind equipped with large cannons.
Heh heh!
“Yueyue, what’s so funny?”
Zhao Xiyan turned his head, his warm breath carrying his unique fresh scent brushing against the corner of her lips.
Qi Yue immediately leaned in and gave him a kiss.
“It’s a secret, I won’t tell you.”
Zhao Xiyan chuckled softly but didn’t speak, his toes flicking a stone and kicking it away.
“…Someone should be coming out now!”
As the sound of the stone hitting the ground rang out, “clang,” several figures suddenly appeared in the darkness, rushing towards the source of the sound.
When they saw it was just a stone that had appeared out of nowhere, several people swiftly drew their long swords and began searching the area.
Faintly discernible, one could tell that these people were all clad in black, moving and breathing with remarkable agility.
Qi Yue shrank back on Zhao Xiyan’s back, feigning fear.
“I didn’t expect there to be people here after all, they look so scary, husband, protect me quickly!”
Zhao Xiyan’s laughter shook within his chest, muffled, and filled with indulgence.
“All right, your husband will protect his young lady.”
Their conversation obviously alerted the guards lurking in the shadows.
Five or six people headed straight for their location!
Qi Yue snorted with laughter, and with a thought, she and Zhao Xiyan both entered the space.
Inside the space pavilion, the sunlight was just right, and the air was refreshingly delightful.
Qi Yue took a deep breath and felt much better.
Zhao Xiyan, ever attentive to her, sensed this and held her worriedly.
“How do you feel, Yueyue? Are you uncomfortable?”
Qi Yue hurriedly showed a bright smile and waved her hands dismissively.
“No, I’m fine. I’m just so happy to be back here. Don’t you think this place is nice?”
She couldn’t let Zhao Xiyan know she felt nauseous.
Otherwise, how would this guy ever allow her to go out!
Zhao Xiyan looked at her suspiciously.
“Are you really okay? Isn’t it said that you feel nauseous and faint when you’re pregnant…”
Qi Yue waved her hands repeatedly, with the decisive demeanor of an expert physician.
“No, it’s only been a few days. Those symptoms you’re talking about shouldn’t appear until two months in.”
“All right then, but if you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me.”
Looking at Zhao Xiyan, with his face full of concern and worry, Qi Yue once again felt that learning to use white lies was truly necessary.
“Don’t worry, you are my husband after all, who else would I tell?”
“It’s good that you have that awareness.”
Zhao Xiyan obviously not quite believing, tapped her forehead lightly, his handsome lips slightly downturned in a reproaching manner.
As the two of them played around, the voices of the guards outside reached them.
“Where did they go… Hey, there’s no one here! Look, not even a footprint!”
“How is that possible, there was clearly a sound!”
“Damn it, who the hell is disturbing our rest this late?!”
“It must be those stinking fishermen! They truly seek money at the cost of their lives!”
“Exactly, we’ve already told them this place is off-limits for fishing!”
“If it were up to me, I’d say catch one and kill one, that’d ensure no one comes here!”
“Just last time we let two go! It’s probably that kid who’s back again!”

“Speaking of which, these people are really pitiable. They used to make a living fishing, and now without any income, they too have to starve. They might as well be looking for a way to die!”
“Hahaha, Old Zhang sure has a way with words. Are you feeling sorry for them, or are you cursing them?”
“Hey, I feel sorry for us… Being here, we’ll end up dead sooner or later, not as good as them…”
