Chapter 407 "Don't want to come back?"

A layer of fog rose on the sea, vague and ethereal, as if out of reach.

I can barely see the scenery further away...

As the ship sails, the distance between the ship and the fog remains unchanged.

Yu Zhizhi was enjoying the breeze on the deck. The direction of this voyage was completely different from the previous one on the Shenhe ship. She was approaching an unfamiliar area.

As the ship moved forward, it gradually entered the foggy area.

The moment she entered the fog, Yu Zhizhi's heart skipped a beat!
This breath——

It always feels a bit familiar.

There was a vague sense of uneasiness deep in my heart.

The wild dog nearby also noticed the unusual movement. Although all kinds of situations can happen at sea, and foggy weather like this is not uncommon, this time it seems not to be a natural phenomenon, but a human-induced one.

He slowly tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Deep in the fog, a mirage seemed to appear.

Yu Zhizhi looked up at the gradually emerging figure, her breathing stagnated slightly: "My Lord the Duke...?"

The man's figure was illusory and perhaps because of the angle, he looked like a statue enshrined in a temple.

Is it me?
Or a puppet?
Or is it a projection?
Yu Zhizhi was extremely nervous, but she thought, maybe the Duke came here just to give her a ride?

She slowly took a step forward: "My Lord Duke, why are you here?"

The Duke in the mist looked over slowly. His pair of golden pupils were dark and deep, and there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth: "Where are you going?"

"...Territory." Yu Zhizhi told the truth: "The Imperial Alliance approved my application."

——Yes, it was passed.

But that was just a stopgap measure.

It was just to prevent her from choosing anyone in the Ice Palace.

The wild dogs also recognized this man.

He silently gazed at Duke Platinum in the clouds.

"What territory are you going to? Since you are married to Tang Luoke, you should live back in Valorant City during this period. I should ensure your safety when he is not here."

Yu Zhizhi's heartbeat suddenly stopped!
The Duke is here to take her back to Valoran!
"No... no need for protection, I can take care of myself." Yu Zhizhi didn't want to go back.

Tang Luoke is not here, she...

Don't want to go back.

What if the Duke still wants that green snake male to be her beastly husband?

"Don't you want to come back?" The Duke in the mist didn't seem surprised at all that the little rabbit would refuse. The smile on his face became even stronger. "I'm afraid it's not up to you."

The wild dog calmly blocked Yu Zhizhi behind him.

The Duke glanced at him and said, "We meet again."

He had come into contact with the newly promoted Knight Commander once before when he went to Chelsea territory to pick up the little female.

Wild Dog didn't say anything. He slowly drew out the sword at his waist. This action was enough to show his position.

The Duke looked at him indifferently: "Get out of the way."

The knight in black armor still stood in front of the female rabbit, motionless.

He made no move to move out of the way.

The fog gradually condensed into mist blades, piercing through the clouds and rushing straight towards the knight.

Wild Dog raised the sword in his hand high and chopped the sharp and hard mist blade. The sound of the collision was extremely harsh. The waves rushed towards him, the sailboat shook, and Yu Zhizhi's body gradually became unstable.

She quickly hugged the wooden pole beside her and watched the wild dog being entangled by the mist blade. Every attack of the Duke was extremely powerful. The sharp sword in the wild dog's hand emitted a faint red light, as if it was stained with blood, and even the white mist blade turned rose-colored.

"No matter how much you insist, it's just a waste of time."

The Duke's golden snake pupils gradually sank, and a huge python shadow appeared behind him. The wind and waves became more and more violent, almost capsizing the entire ship.

The fog became thicker, and Yu Zhizhi could hardly see the scenery three steps away, let alone the Duke in the distance.

Her heart almost jumped into her throat: "Stop, stop hitting me..."

Yu Zhizhi had a bad feeling.

There was the sound of whistling wind and the sound of sharp weapons colliding in my ears, and occasionally a flash of red could be seen in the thick fog - was it the knight's sword?
Or his blood?

Yu Zhizhi was extremely worried, but she could do nothing but grope her way forward.

"Peace, peace..."

She called out, "Are you in front?"

Following a clear groan and a biting chill, Yu Zhizhi bumped into a figure head-on.

Wild Dog barely managed to stop, his black helmet cracking and falling suddenly.

boom!
Yu Zhizhi finally saw the person in front of her clearly. She hurriedly supported his arm and felt large patches of blood.

In the mist, the silhouette of the young knight was somewhat blurry.

She could vaguely see the long scar on his face.

"……install?"

She wanted to use healing magic, but found that her mental power seemed to be "sealed" by something and could not be mobilized at all.

Everything around was white.

Yu Zhizhi couldn't see anything.

Wild Dog knelt on one knee on the ground. He suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the sword in his hand stabbed into the deck in front of him.

The Duke's voice seemed to come from far away, yet seemed to be floating beside his ears.

"If you don't want this wild dog to die, follow me."

Yu Zhizhi was extremely anxious: "My Lord Duke, please stop fighting. I will go back with you..."

Although she really wanted to go to the territory.

But she was even more unwilling to see a wild dog die in front of her.

When she saved a life while doing a side quest in the Duke's Mansion, Yu Zhizhi was happy for him from the bottom of her heart when she saw that he could have a new life.

She couldn't use her healing talent right now, and she could tell with her naked eyes that the wild dog's injuries were very serious.

In front of the ship, a cloud road leading to the distance appeared.

The Duke's meaning was very clear.

She must be taken away.

Yu Zhizhi said softly: "The commission...let's end it like this. When I return, I will find a way to give you the reward."

Wild Dog suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't go."

The knight's curly short hair was soaked with sweat. He slowly turned his head and stared at the female rabbit in front of him: "He can't hold on for much longer. As long as the fog dissipates, his breath will no longer be hidden. The rising moon and the deep sea will react soon and they will come to rescue you."

"Before that, let me protect you."

This was the longest sentence Yu Zhizhi had ever heard from the stray dog ​​since their reunion.

Dingo means...

As long as time passes, the Duke won't be able to take her away?

but--

Yu Zhizhi was still very anxious. She shook her head: "No, no, you will die."

The Duke was determined to take her away.

Yu Zhizhi didn’t dare to imagine what would happen next if the wild dog continued to block them.

Wild Dog grasped the hilt of the sword in front of him and pulled the sword out of the deck.

After resting for a while, he slowly stood up, dragging his bruised body.

His back was extremely straight.

"It's ok."

"As long as it gets you what you want most."

"I could die."

She said she wanted freedom, and he was willing to exchange his life for it.
