A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1755 - 395: Life-Saving Grace, Pledging Oneself (Part 2)

Mingyue turned away, showing no interest in conversing with him: "When we reach land, you’re on your own."

The young man pursed his lips, glanced at the retreating figure, his eyes filled with confusion, and a hint of admiration he hadn’t realized.

The person’s long hair was tied high, the hairband fluttering, her tall and slender figure exuded a heroic spirit, perfectly concealing the feminine grace, standing against the wind, amidst the vast world, and boundless sea, that figure alone seemed to possess an indomitable fortitude.

That ambiguous charisma, the cool and resolute silhouette, like poppies, emitted a deadly allure that made one unknowingly immerse in it.

He still remembered before losing consciousness, she merely waved her hand lightly, and those assassins, like lingering spirits, were instantly sent flying like broken kites.

He could never forget the pair of eyes that looked over just before he lost consciousness.

From then on, they were imprinted in his heart.

Thoughts raced, but outwardly he remained calm, "I understand, I won’t cause you any trouble."

With that, he turned and returned to the cabin.

Helian Liusheng glanced at the youth’s frail and thin back, whispered, "This person’s origins are mysterious, the assassins pursuing him are all highly skilled, I suspect his identity isn’t that simple, and might bring disaster to the Young Master."

Mingyue clasped his hands behind him, said indifferently, "Are you scared?"

Helian Liusheng hurriedly bowed his head: "Subordinate always supports any decision of the Family Head."

"Yue An? Do you think that’s his real name?" Mingyue’s lips curved into a playful smile.

"Although this person seems gentle and pure, I think he appears not so simple, this name is not his real name."

Still wary of them, though perfectly disguised, how could he escape Helian Liusheng’s practiced keen eyes?

"I actually think this person might bring surprises."

——

The youth leaned against the cabin board, coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his lungs, his cheeks flushed red from the coughing, appearing both delicate and bright, tears welled in his eyes, like a wind-torn lotus, pitifully.

Gradually calming the cough, the youth took several heavy breaths, fingers clutching his chest tightly.

This frail body, having gone through life and death trials, it’s still uncertain how long it can hold out.

Dying like this would be better, better than living in constant fear, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

But quickly, his clear eyes were enveloped by a layer of dark fog, indistinguishable.

No... He couldn’t die; he had to avenge the deaths of his aunt and mother.

But now he’s at a dead end, avenging them seems so difficult, thinking of this, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.

Not sure if he could live through tomorrow, what does he have to avenge them?

The people his aunt sent to help him escape, all have died or scattered, now he’s left all alone.

Moreover, the enemy is deeply rooted and powerful; him alone, avenging sounds like daydreaming.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand to touch the pendant on his neck, his aunt said, she still has a hidden force in Country Hua, as long as he can return to Country Hua, command this force, slowly plan, the day for revenge will eventually come.

There’s also his cousin, not sure where he’s drifted to, as long as he finds his cousin, relying on this force to fight back...

The turbulent waves in his eyes were covered by a layer of clear stream water, taking a deep breath to calm himself.

The dinner was brought by the black-robed uncle, the conditions onboard are tough, dinner consisted only of compressed biscuits and water, he thanked him, the person glanced at him, "Eat up, you’re still injured, after eating I’ll change your medicine."

The person took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, a very antique bottle, looking like those seen only in martial arts dramas, Helian Liusheng chuckled: "This golden sore medicine is priceless, I assure you your wound will heal by tomorrow."

"Thank you." The youth pursed his lips, showing a shy and grateful smile.

"How old are you this year?" Helian Liusheng looked at the wound on the youth’s back, caused by a sharp weapon, a one-inch-long scar, he had applied medicine to him when the youth was unconscious.

Although the wound showed signs of healing, contacting the medicine still stung the senses, but no matter how painful, the youth never made a sound, quietly replied, "Eighteen."

"Still young." Besides, his back also carried numerous old scars, gunshots, knife cuts, and burns too, hard to imagine what kind of abuse this youth’s back had suffered.

Helian Liusheng bandaged his wound, "Sleep on your side, don’t press on the wound, it’s not serious, it’ll heal in a few days, but this cough of yours...."

Helian Liusheng grabbed the youth’s arm, raised his hand to check his pulse, feeling the youth’s sudden stiffness, he couldn’t help but smile, this little guy, his wariness is quite strong.

"This is a chronic problem of yours, untreated it will gradually develop into pneumonia, coupled with overwork... Here’s what, I have a pill here, take it and you’ll be fine for half a month, see a doctor after getting off the ship." With that, he magically pulled out a medicine bottle from his bosom, poured out a pill.

Dark brown, the size of a pinky fingernail, this man wrapped entirely in a black robe looked like a deceitful charlatan.

But the youth took it without hesitation, smiled: "Thank you, brother."

With that, he placed the pill in his mouth, as it melted, a refreshing sensation slid down his throat, warming his choking lungs immensely.

This person indeed wasn’t lying, if he really wanted to harm him, he had plenty of means, he didn’t need to get tangled in this.

"What did you call me?" Helian Liusheng’s eyes lit up with excitement.

The youth looked up with innocent wide eyes, clear as ever, Helian Liusheng even saw his own dark face in them.

"Brother? If you don’t like it, I’ll change immediately...."

"No, keep calling me that, it’s good." Helian Liusheng instinctively touched his face, though not yet thirty, he looked quite anxious, seeming like he’s in his forties, within the family, regardless of peers or juniors all called him Uncle Lau, making him depressed thinking he was really old, the first time someone called him brother, Lau Sheng felt quite comforted.

Comfort aside, his wariness towards this youth increased, sweet-talking, knowing how to catch people’s weaknesses, cannot be underestimated.

"Rest well, call me if you need anything." With that, he walked out.

The cabin returned to silence, the youth leaned against the cabin board, gazing out the window at the boundless sea, the rugged waves as the tide ebbs and flows, just like his current mood, rising and falling like the sea surface...

Early the next day, he just walked out of the cabin, intending to get some fresh air, when he saw the elegant swaying of brocade ahead, exuding a graceful and carefree air.

He raised his eyes, seeing that person walk past, indifferent and aloof, as if she hadn’t seen him at all.

Her skin wasn’t as pale as a typical woman’s, a healthy wheat color, adding to her heroic spirit, her long eyebrows flew slightly into the temples, brimming with vigor, sharp and resolute.

Features carved like a sculpture, combining beauty with crystal delicacy, her high nose bridge, indifferent thin lips, making her appear cold and noble.

For a moment, he was entranced.

Suddenly, a pair of cold eyes shot over, like a harsh frost sweeping across a hundred miles in winter, seeming like he was plunged into snowy depths, he abruptly snapped out of his stupor, losing his footing, about to fall, then the person moved swiftly.

Long legs flicked a stick on the ground, kicked it towards him, the stick blocked his waist, making his body tilt to the other side...
