Chapter 988 Edward Newgate (12)
"If you cooperate, I will report this to the higher authorities on your behalf and save your lives."
Yun Ci's expression remained unchanged: "You can't be the master of the Tianlong people."
"Then there's no need to talk."
"Yes." Yun Ci said regretfully, "Since we have thought about you too——"
It's useless though.
Yun Ci smiled: "——I will let you die more comfortably."
The sword flashed.
The admiral's pupils shrank, and the world fell into complete darkness.
Good news came one after another from all directions. When some navy soldiers found out that all the admirals were dead, they began to flee. Even if their ships were destroyed, they would still swim away.
Yun Ci did not arrange for anyone to chase after them, but asked them to treat their wounds first.
"King, are you hurt?"
Yun Ci waved her hand: "It's okay, I just want to take a bath."
"I have asked someone to prepare the bath water." Anna walked to Yun Ci's side, "The navy will come again."
"Yes, there will definitely be several more battles to be fought next." Yun Ci threw the dirty clothes on the ground and wrapped herself in a clean bathrobe, "But how can we keep fighting on our territory——"
Anna's eyes lit up: "You mean..."
"You can't go."
"Why?!"
"Anna, this island cannot be left unattended and unprotected."
Anna is in charge of the island's affairs just as much as Yunci.
If Yun Ci were to leave, Anna would definitely be the next king of the island - Yun Ci had originally intended to train her in this direction, and she didn't want to carry such a heavy responsibility all the time.
And those of us who grew up together will have no objection to this.
"Before I leave, you should take over the throne."
Anna had known that this day would come, but she never expected it to come so soon.
Yun Ci didn't get a response, and looked at Anna helplessly: "Counting carefully, I have been in this position for more than ten years. It's time for me to relax, right?"
Anna wiped the moisture from her eyes and said, "If I train a new successor, can I come to you?"
"Of course." Yun Ci smiled and touched Anna's head, "I will be very happy."
Anna nodded heavily and began to search in her mind for families with children of the right age.
"Oh right." Yun Ci suddenly said, "We don't need to prepare meals tonight. Let's go to my parents' house for dinner."
By the way, ask them if they want to go on a sea trip with her.
If they were willing, she would come to pick them up after going to Marijoa. If not, she would just go somewhere else to play.
"Who are you going to take with you?"
Yun Ci thought about it seriously: "Newgate?"
Anna waited for Yun Ci to continue, but she remained silent.
"Gone?"
"Gone."
"You two just want to go--" Anna frowned, "That's too little!"
"Actually, I'd rather go alone."
"That's even less——"
"Anna." Yun Ci interrupted Anna, "Don't forget, I was alone when I snatched you back from the human traffickers."
She was only three years old at that time.
Anna paused, then lowered her head dejectedly.
Yes.
The king is very strong.
The king has been very peaceful in recent years, and even when fighting, he uses the sword more often.
This made her, this made them all forget, how special Yun Ci was.
She has very powerful magical powers.
She might be safer alone.
At least I won't be tied down by the need to protect them.
"Then you should go by yourself," Anna changed her tone, "and don't take Newgate with you."
Although Newgate is very strong, forget about going to Marijoa.
It would be more convenient for Yunci to be alone.
"Did you figure it out so quickly?"
Anna nodded: "I was mistaken. You are not the kind of delicate flower that needs protection."
Yun Ci smiled: "Neither are you, the future Elf King."
Anna laughed along, but she thought in her heart: No one will ever be called the Elf King in the future.
That is unique to Yunci.
No one can 'defile' it.
Yun Ci made the decision and prepared to set off that day, even though a battle had just ended.
Everyone knew that Yun Ci was going to cause trouble for the Tianlong people, but no one was worried.
The only one who seemed to be worried was Edward Newgate.
Edward Newgate did not understand.
Aren't they family?
Why are they so calm when Yunci makes such a dangerous decision?
Howe, who was familiar with Edward Newgate, patted him on the shoulder:
"You are worried because you don't know exactly how powerful our king is."
"I haven't told you that yet?"
"Wang was only 3 years old when he broke into the traffickers' lair alone to rescue us."
A person.
alone.
In his hand he held a tall scepter which they had never seen again.
Drag them from the darkness back into the light.
"Our king is very strong." Hao changed his tone and said with a teasing smile, "It's a pity that he is too lazy."
Edward Newgate looked at Yun Ci, who had fallen down again at some point, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
is a bit.
Every time he saw her, she was either sleeping, lying down, or sitting, as if she had no bones.
But very cute.
Howe noticed Edward Newgate's eyes. As a married man, he was keenly aware of something and his eyes began to move between the two of them.
"Newgate."
"what?"
Howe patted Edward Newgate, who was drinking from a large barrel of wine, with an expression that said, "May the best come to you."
"Come on."
Edward Newgate: ?
What are you cheering for?
"You mean the upcoming battle?" Edward Newgate said, "Don't worry, since she is willing to trust me and let me be the main force to protect the Fairy Island, I will definitely not let her down."
Hao: “…”
"Newgate, I don't think I've heard you call him 'Wang' very often." Hao changed the topic, "How do you usually address Wang?"
Edward Newgate looked at Howe in confusion: "What else can you call him? King."
Although he doesn't usually need to be addressed, it seems that every time he wants to say something, he can meet my eyes.
And when she wanted to say something, he was also looking at her——
Edward Newgate tightened his grip on the jar and gulped down the drink.
"Come on, drink!"
The wine glass that Hao was holding was hit hard, and the wine sloshed all over him.
He looked at Edward Newgate, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and started drinking too.
Yun Ci lay lazily on the grass, but she did not miss a single thing that happened during the party - except for who went on a date with who else, or when they kissed or anything like that, she did not see it.
She noticed Edward Newgate's heartbeat, entanglement and restraint.
Yun Ci had seen that kind of gaze upon the loved one many times.
But perhaps because Yun Ci was only a teenager when they met, this made Edward Newgate feel - guilty?
What to say.
He was very confused.
Yun Ci once accidentally heard Edward Newgate calling her a beast, and she punched herself twice.
Yun Ci turned over and her eyes fell on the tall figure who was holding a barrel of wine and drinking wildly.
As a pirate, it was really beyond Yun Ci's expectation that he could be so restrained.
——What a nice person.
