Bold Demon!

Wu Yi and Su Yan strolled slowly across the deck together, leisurely enjoying the river breeze brushing against their faces.

This scene seemed to truly embody a certain phrase—

The years were tranquil and beautiful.

Just then, a faint voice drifted over from who knew where.

"What are you doing? I came here to work!"

Though the voice was weak, the speaker's intense unease could still be heard.

Wu Yi shuddered from head to toe upon hearing it.

For no other reason than that the faint voice sounded exactly like that of his disciple, Zhou Man.

After coming to his senses, Wu Yi began searching all around for the source of the voice.

It seemed to be coming from beneath the deck.

Seeing Wu Yi looking about in all directions, Su Yan could not help asking, "What is Young Master Wu looking for?"

Wu Yi naturally knew that his little movements could not be hidden from Su Yan, nor did he intend to conceal them.

"Oh, Miss Su, something terrible has happened."

"What is it, Young Master Wu?"

Su Yan looked at Wu Yi's flustered appearance with concern.

"It seems that Wu has misplaced something somewhere."

"Oh? Why not tell me what it is, Young Master Wu? I can arrange for people to search for it as well."

Hearing Su Yan take the bait, Wu Yi grinned inwardly.

"Ah, it seems my heart has fallen with Miss Su. I wonder if Miss Su has seen it?"

Upon hearing those words, Su Yan's previously serious face swiftly flushed crimson.

What she did next was entirely unexpected.

She boldly stepped up before Wu Yi, gazing at him with affection in her eyes.

"If it truly fell with this little woman, then I must ask Young Master Wu whether he is willing to entrust it to me?"

Su Yan breathed out fragrant warmth, her voice soft and tender.

Wu Yi could even feel the warm breath of her words as he looked into those indescribable eyes of hers.

I've overplayed this.

"Ahem, Miss Su, Wu was merely joking just now, trying to liven up the atmosphere.

Men and women should not touch hands when giving or receiving things. Please conduct yourself with dignity, Miss Su."

Wu Yi smoothly took a step back, extending one palm between them in a horizontal push.

He looked every inch the upright gentleman.

Su Yan was slightly stunned, and the look she gave Wu Yi was filled with surprise.

It has been delivered right to your mouth and you won't eat it? What kind of act are you putting on for me?

"Ahem, Miss Su, Wu seemed to hear something just now. I wonder if you heard it too."

Wu Yi looked at Su Yan, only to see her staring at him resentfully. The look made even Wu Yi feel somewhat guilty.

"Miss Su, Wu was only joking just now. If I inadvertently offended you, Wu apologizes."

Seeing how sincere Wu Yi was in apologizing, Su Yan's expression improved somewhat.

Wu Yi was now certain that the voice had come from beneath the deck.

So, while the iron was hot, he asked Su Yan again, "Miss Su, what sort of place is below us? Please do not laugh at Wu. Though Wu grew up in Cloudwater City and saw countless ships come and go, I have never personally boarded one to look around.

Today, thanks to Miss Su, I was fortunate enough to come aboard and have a look, so I cannot help being curious."

Following the direction of Wu Yi's finger, Su Yan realized that he was referring to the cargo hold.

"Since Young Master Wu wishes to know, then later, you must agree to one request from this little woman."

Su Yan seemed to have thought of some mischievous idea, smiling wickedly at Wu Yi.

Seeing Su Yan's smile, Wu Yi could not help thinking of the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King.

"Of course, Miss Su. Please quickly resolve Wu's confusion."

Wu Yi agreed readily.

"Actually, the place below is called the cargo hold. It is used for storing goods."

Wu Yi put on an enlightened expression after hearing this.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why I could not see any cargo. It was all below."

"Then might I trouble Miss Su to take me down for a look?"

"That will not do, Young Master Wu. Outsiders are generally forbidden from entering the cargo hold. You cannot go down without Father's permission."

Su Yan refused with a stern expression.

"All right."

Seeing Wu Yi's disappointed expression, Su Yan could not help letting out a soft laugh.

"All right, Young Master Wu, this little woman was teasing you just now. Of course I can take you down there."

"However, you must first fulfill this little woman's request."

"Come with me first."

Hearing this, Wu Yi could only obediently submit, following behind Su Yan as they moved step by step away from the deck...

"We're here."

Su Yan pushed open the door. What greeted his eyes was merely an ordinary room.

The room contained only ordinary furnishings... Wait, what were these?

Pink gauze curtains draped down from above; a rosewood dressing table stood nearby, upon which rested powder boxes, hairpins, bracelets, and a polished copper mirror...

What ordinary room was this? This was clearly a young woman's private chamber!

"Young Master Wu, what are you still standing there in a daze for? Come in."

Smiling, Su Yan took Wu Yi's hand of her own accord and pulled the still bewildered Wu Yi into the room.

Even after entering the room and sitting on a chair, Wu Yi still felt as though none of this was real.

Including his previous life, this was the first time he had ever entered a girl's private chamber. The feeling was rather novel.

Wu Yi wrinkled his nose and sniffed carefully.

Mm, it did smell rather nice...

"May I ask, is this Miss Su's private chamber?"

Wu Yi looked toward Su Yan, who was seated before the dressing table and applying her makeup, and asked.

Through the copper mirror, Wu Yi could clearly see Su Yan smiling at him.

Whether because of the oil lamp or the copper mirror itself, Su Yan's face in the mirror warped in and out, appearing somewhat strange.

"Did Young Master Wu not already have the answer in his heart?"

At this moment, the already dressed-up Su Yan turned around and gave Wu Yi a wicked smile.

Beautiful—far too beautiful!

Compared with before, Su Yan, now that she had applied her makeup, possessed three parts more charm and three parts more bashful allure.

She had a heart-stirring, pitiable beauty that made anyone who saw her want to cherish her, yet also made one want to race wildly across the grasslands and conquer them!

Wu Yi could not help staring blankly.

His little brother seemed to want to stick his head out for a look as well, but Wu Yi forcibly pressed him back down.

Su Yan slowly walked before Wu Yi, nearly pressing herself against him.

Su Yan gently leaned close to Wu Yi's ear, exhaling fragrant breath.

"Young Master Wu, it is time to help fulfill this little woman's request. I have been waiting for so long~"

As though he could not hear anything amiss in her words, Wu Yi merely stiffened like a machine and said, "What request does Miss Su have? Feel free to say it. So long as Wu can do it, even if I must climb mountains of blades and plunge into seas of fire, I will not hesitate."

"Hehehe~"

Her laughter was like silver bells.

"How could it be so exaggerated, Young Master Wu..."

Before she could finish speaking, the ship began to rock, and there seemed to be movement from beneath the deck.

Alarm bells rang wildly in Wu Yi's mind, and he immediately stood up.

"What happened?"

Seeing Wu Yi's stern expression, Su Yan pressed close to him again and explained, "It is nothing, Young Master Wu. Perhaps the waves on the river are large at night and struck the ship. You will get used to it after a while."

Hearing this, Wu Yi seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his body was no longer so tense.

With tenderness and seduction in her eyes, Su Yan murmured softly, "Young Master Wu, this servant is so hot~"

As she spoke, she began gently undoing Wu Yi's clothes.

Wu Yi seemed not to notice, his gaze wholly fixed on Su Yan's pair of affectionate, spirited eyes.

"This servant wants it so badly~"

Before Su Yan could say what she wanted, Wu Yi swiftly cut her off.

"Want it? I want peace under heaven, I want the Great Yan Kingdom to be prosperous and healthy, I want the common people to live and work in peace and contentment, I want demons and monsters to vanish from the human world!"

Before Su Yan could even process what Wu Yi was saying, she saw a glowing fist strike her in the stomach.

She was instantly sent flying...
