Ch58 - Moon Shadow

“You’re here.” Chi Ying stood on the deck, looking at the stars in the distance, while the canvas behind him was blown by the strong wind.

The warship was moving at full speed now. Zhou Mian never thought that he would be able to board Chi Ying’s main battleship again.

He went to Muhaiwan and waited for a while when he saw an old man coming in a small boat. The boat brought him here.

After so many years, Zhou Mian originally just wanted to try his luck, but he didn’t expect Chi Ying to still remember it.

“I didn’t expect you would still remember.”

Chi Ying also smiled and said, “I said, if you want to come back, just wait for me at Muhai Bay when the tide is high.”

Zhou Mian remained silent.

Chi Ying remembered everything he said because Zhou Mian… wanted to kill him for a while.

“I said, you will come back.” Chi Ying stepped forward, raised his hand, and gently twirled the broken hair beside Zhou Mian’s ear and said, “No matter whether the purpose is pure or not.” Zhou Mian paused and said straight to the point: “You… You also know that my purpose is not pure. I want the antidote for the female insect king. What are the conditions?”

Chi Ying raised his eyebrows slightly.

“It’s very simple. I want you to come back and stay.” Chi Ying smiled and said, “It’s been like this for many years.”

“Okay.”

Zhou Mian was also very straightforward. He lowered his eyes stretched out his hand and said, “I’m already here. Where is the antidote?”

Chi Ying just smiled, then turned to the deputy standing next to him and said, “Prepare a room for General Zhou, and ask for the best one.”

“Yes.”

After Chi Ying left, he was tall and bearded. The deputy took Zhou off the deck.

The other pirates along the way looked like they were seeing a ghost when they saw Zhou Mian, their eyes widened and they whispered to each other.

“It’s not a prisoner, is it?”

“Bah, it’s so good to live with a prisoner?”

“Maybe it’s a negotiation?”

These small words reached the deputy’s ears, and the deputy stopped, turned around, and said, “Open your eyes wide. You can see clearly with your dog eyes! This is Master Yueying!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire audience fell silent.

For a moment, everyone from the main battleship to the small sentry ship was boiling.

“Lord Moon Shadow is back!”

“Have you heard? Lord Moon Shadow is fucking back!”

“But I heard that that person is not a high official from the Federation or Glacier?”

“I don’t know, but we just need to It would be nice if you knew that one is Master Yueying, so don’t mess with her! That’s… the Queen!” …

“Yueying is back?”

Cecil sat at his desk, frowning slightly.

“Yes.” Casper said: “According to the news from the spies ambushing in the pirate ship, it is said that Master Yueying is back, but he has not had a chance to contact him yet. The master has been in the room since he came back.”

Cecil knew Moony. After Chi Ying’s father passed away, the pirates were in chaos. Everyone fought for the position of leader. In the end, Chi Ying stepped on everyone’s corpses and ascended to the throne. At that time, there was a person beside him who was very skilled, but he didn’t speak and had no expression. People around Chiying said that he was unfazed and had a gentle temper.

Why he is called Yueying, not only because he has a dull temperament, but also because that person always wears black robes, but his hair is silver-blue, which is very similar to the moon and night.

Yueying's status in the pirates is the same as that of Red Shadow. Red Shadow has given him the power to be equal to him. People below are saying that Red Shadow is their king, and Yueying is the “queen”. After all, not many people have seen it. Yueying’s, true appearance.

Cecil was silent.

Casper also frowned and said, “Could it be…”

Cecil said, “If so, let our spies protect him. No matter what, pay more attention to him.”

“Yes.”

“Also, let Ming Yan and the others write an official notice saying that Zhou Mian was ill and was resting in the admiral’s mansion, so as not to let the pirates have the opportunity to ruin Zhou Mian’s reputation.”

“Yes.”

Cecil looked at the report in front of him and felt upset.

“Fuck…” Cecil knocked on the table hard.

He knew in his heart that the eight-year-old Moon Shadow was Zhou Mian. Zhou Mian had previously revealed to him that he had stayed with Chi Ying.

“Why can’t you discuss it with me?” Cecil gritted his teeth and said, “He just left like that!”

Cecil has been sleeping and eating restlessly these past two days, and feels irritable no matter what he does.

Casper paused, pondered for a moment, and then said, “But Admiral…you didn’t tell him about Blue Wings and Black Phoenix.”

Cecil was stunned.

Cecil was in very bad condition these days, and Casper didn’t dare to get into trouble again. He bowed slightly and left.

Cecil’s chest heaved. To this day, he is still in a state of rage. Since seeing the letter that day, Cecil has been searching for him like crazy for a day and a night and still hasn’t been able to calm down. Cecil never thought that Zhou Mian would do this. Such a gentle and reserved person would just keep silent even when he was angry with himself. How could he leave like this?

Cecil knew that Zhou Mian was a general and a commander-in-chief, but…

Cecil covered his face with his palms and tried to calm down.

He has been proud for too many years and has been arrogant and domineering for too long. Cecil has great confidence in himself, including in terms of love and marriage, so he still cannot accept the fact that Zhou Mian is left alone.

“Beep…beep…”

Cecil suppressed his emotions and answered the phone.

“Who?”

“I’m General Danny, I…”

“Is there anything I can’t ask for from my secretary?!”

“No, that…” The general was caught off guard by his boss’s temper. He paused for a moment before saying, “It’s a secretary.” Level alarm! The admiral asked me to report directly!”

“Say!”

“Report to the admiral! The leader of the Black Phoenix has been tracked!”

Cecil’s eyes lit up.

“Okay!”

After saying that, Cecil immediately pulled up his coat and went out.

The lights of the warship even illuminated half of the sky.

“Welcome back, my moon.”

Red Shadow raised his wine glass high.

Chi Ying held a reception banquet for Zhou Mian. At this moment, there was a carnival on the deck, the smell of wine was overflowing, and there was a lot of noise.

Chi Ying and Zhou Mian, on the other hand, were sitting apart from the rest of the people, drinking at the long table on the observation deck above the deck. They could have a good view of the distant scenery and the excitement of the people below.

With a “clang” sound, Zhou Mian touched Chi Ying’s wine glass back expressionlessly.

Chi Ying smiled and said, “You’ve had a good life these years.”

“Not bad.” Zhou Mian nodded.

“You can live a good life, or better when you come here.” Chi Ying shook the liquid in the cup and said, “You are very free here. You don’t have to follow any rules, and you don’t have to care about what the people think, let alone Bound by military affairs.”

Chi Ying leaned forward slightly and said with a smile: “In my place, you can kill whoever you want, and you can have whatever you want.”

Zhou Mian frowned slightly.

“Let me show you something.” Red Shadow nodded to the deputy, and the deputy left.

After a moment, a commotion was seen below.

Several men were tied up and escorted onto the deck. The men were so thin that they were almost disfigured. Their hair that reached their buttocks was messy. Their bodies were covered with large and small wounds and old scars, but those wounds had not been properly treated at all, some had rotted.

It looked like a savage, very scary.

“Do you still remember who those people are?” Chiying blinked.

Zhou Mian was stunned.

He saw it.

That year, Zhou Mian met Marshal Zhou and became an undercover agent of the Binghe government. He had been hiding very well until one time when Chi Ying went out to fight, he accidentally exposed himself.

At that time, Chi Ying was a capable young man who was domineering and ambitious. He wished he could replace Zhou Mian and become the most powerful and trustworthy person around Chi Ying. So, when the little leader learned about this, he chased Zhou Mian like crazy. Zhou Mian escaped from the pirate base and the deserted star until he was rescued by Marshal Zhou’s men with injuries all over his body. From then on, he became Admiral Zhou of Glacier…

“The leaders who led people to hunt you down back then are all below. One, two… oh, five of them.” Chi Ying said with a smile, “Consider this a gift from me.”

“You… Kept them locked up?” Zhou Mian stared.

That was many years ago.

“Yeah.” he shrugged. Below, he saw Chiying’s deputy ordering people to pour several buckets of bloody water into the sea.

After a while, I saw sharp sea monster horns emerging from the water.

Zhou Mian vaguely guessed what Chi Ying was going to do, and turned to look at him in surprise.

“I… will help you get revenge.” Chi Ying smiled.

Then, he saw the deputy push the first person… into the sea!

“Crash!”

Then there was a shrill and hoarse cry. Blood, meat residue, and missing organs were floating on the sea. People on the deck were quiet and dared not speak.

The strong smell of blood spread, and even Zhou Mian, who was sitting high up, could smell it.

Zhou Mian’s face turned pale, and the blood all over his body turned cold for a moment.

Red Shadow snapped his fingers.

Then the second, the third… until everyone was bitten by the sea monsters that came around.

Zhou Mian didn’t know what he was thinking of. His back was already wet with cold sweat, and his fingertips were so cold that he lost consciousness.

“Are you satisfied?” Chi Ying spread his arms and said with a smile, “Now you can stay by my side.”

Chi Ying snorted coldly, “If it hadn’t been for them, you wouldn’t have left.”

Zhou Mian looked up in confusion. He stared blankly at Chiying.

Chi Ying smiled at Zhou Mian’s gaze and said in a softer tone: “Ah Mian, it was because I was not here back then. If I was here, how could I let them drive you away? No matter what you do, I will forgive you if you are wrong. You know, why did you come back just now?”

Zhou Mian lowered his head for a moment, then raised his head, looked into Chi Ying’s eyes, and said word by word: “Whether I leave or I don’t come back, it won’t matter. It’s not because of them.”

Chi Ying paused.

“Oh?”

Zhou Mian smiled and said, “It’s because of you.”

Chi Ying looked at Zhou Mian without saying a word.

The two looked at each other in a stalemate. After a while, Chi Ying finally smiled and said, “You go ahead and eat. Eat until you are full. Tomorrow we will go to F8 Desolate Star.” After that, Chi Ying took his time. He put down his wine glass, stood up, and left.

Standing next to the stairs, Chi Ying turned around and said with a blink: “Go and plunder the city.”

Zhou Mian watched Chi Ying leave, and the blood in his body slowly returned.

“Sir.” The pirate on the side leaned forward and said, “Do you need me to take you back?”

“No.”

Zhou Mian stood up with a cold face.

After returning to the room, Zhou Mian went straight to the toilet and vomited into the wash basin.

Zhou Mian held the wash basin with one hand and pushed his hair behind with the other hand, vomiting until the sky was dark.

“Cough…cough…”

Zhou Mian has endured it all night.

After finally vomiting, Zhou Mian fell next to the wash basin, touched the sweat on his forehead, and gasped.

What happened?

Zhou Mian exhaled a thick breath and frowned.

He never thought that he was so delicate, what was going on?

While breathing steadily, Zhou Mian moved the terminal to a position aligned with his wrist and then opened the online doctor.

Ding dong!

The test results are out.

Zhou Mian’s eyes widened.

OMG…

Any guess what does the result says
