At this moment, Lu Chen could only smell the fragrance of her body as Yue Shaoting fell into his embrace, soft and warm like a well-behaved kitten, delicate and charming, her body trembling slightly, an indescribably wonderful feeling.
Yue Shaoting's eyebrows twitched, her dark eyes sparkling like two large grapes, full of autumnal charm, difficult to describe.
After a while, Yue Shaoting finally reacted, suddenly breaking free from Lu Chen's arms, bouncing up and standing aside with her head down, turning her back to Lu Chen without saying a word.
Lu Chen looked at Yue Shaoting's back and noticed her delicate frame slightly trembling. He knew that she was currently in a state of emotional turmoil, and he couldn't help but smile silently.
"No one has ever dared to treat me this way before, not even my brother Yue Shaojun, who kept his distance from me. Anyone who offended me was dealt with on the spot," Yue Shaoting finally seemed to calm down and spoke in a steady tone.
"Oh? Am I the first?" Lu Chen replied with a mysterious smile, looking quite pleased with himself.
Yue Shaoting remained silent, still keeping her head down. Her pretty face had already turned bright red, lacking the courage to look up.
"Is there some kind of restriction on you? Preventing any man from getting close?" Lu Chen asked with a smile, finding Yue Shaoting quite interesting.
"No, I've moved past that. Those who tried to get close to me have all been killed by me," Yue Shaoting shook her head in denial and then explained.
"Then do you want to kill me? If you do, I won't fight back," Lu Chen asked Yue Shaoting calmly.
"If I wanted to kill you, it would be later. At least not now," Yue Shaoting said, her expression suddenly turning sorrowful as if recalling some painful memories.
Without needing to guess, Lu Chen knew that significant changes had occurred in the Yue Family recently. First, her brother Yue Shaojun had been killed by Lu Chen.
Then the Yue Family was also targeted by several other families from Giant Barbarian Island. The head of the Lian Family had been imprisoned. The once glorious Yue Family had fallen into ruin; this was the reason for Yue Shaoting's sadness.
"Shaoting, don't dwell on those things anymore. I promised you that I will visit Giant Barbarian Island sooner or later. I will help rescue your father. As for Shun Wang, I won't let him off easily either. Once Brother Zi Zhao has gained some influence, I will convey my intentions through him and pressure Giant Yi Nation. Your family's current predicament won't last long; believe me."
Lu Chen stood up from his chair and took two steps forward confidently, his tone carrying an undeniable momentum.
Yue Shaoting looked at Lu Chen; in her dark eyes, thoughts swirled endlessly but remained unspoken in front of him.
That night, everything was calm and peaceful at the Naval Minister's Residence, and everything was proceeding according to plan.
Until the morning of the fourth day, Lu Chen openly appeared in the camp of the Naval Minister's Residence, frequently showing his face as if he were afraid no one would notice him.
Lu Chen's behavior was extremely strange and completely different from before. In addition to wandering around the military camp, he occasionally lay down in open spaces, closing his eyes to rest and enjoying a sweet, peaceful sleep.
Even during meals, he did not forget to expose his whereabouts in broad daylight, showing remarkable boldness.
On the surface, Lu Chen seemed carefree, like a street rogue or a scoundrel, appearing lazy as if waiting for death.
From another perspective, it looked as if he were courting danger, openly telling others that he was within the Yushan Kingdom's Naval Base and inviting anyone who wanted to capture him to come and try.
Lu Chen's audacious actions naturally attracted some attention, the first being the Dragon Clone, who had been lurking near the Naval Base and had been observing for quite some time.
Outside the Naval Base, on a mysterious mountaintop that overlooked part of the base including where Lu Chen was located, the Dragon Clone manifested in human form and gazed toward the Naval Base from a distance, occasionally catching a glimpse of Lu Chen's shadow.
The Dragon Clone had already noticed Lu Chen's unusual behavior over these days and it had indeed sparked various speculations.
The situation was different from what it appeared; now Lu Chen was boldly appearing in the military camp and exposing his whereabouts, which raised suspicions.
"This person is indeed that one's true self without a doubt. His public appearance seems premeditated, and the atmosphere in these military camps is rather unusual. It looks like a trap; he wants to lure me in as bait. What a cunning fellow; I cannot fall for this," thought the Dragon Clone.
"This military camp seems ordinary but may have hidden soldiers or some strange Great Formation. The Yin Spirit could come out to fight; there are many risks. I must be cautious to avoid falling into his trap. If I return later and get discovered by Essence and those old ghosts, I would surely be ridiculed. Yes, I must be careful."
Having thought this far, the Dragon Clone felt that Lu Chen was intentionally exposing himself with ulterior motives and decided not to easily fall for his tricks.
The Dragon Clone suddenly leaped into a nearby forest, transforming into a green leaf that blended seamlessly with its surroundings. At first glance, it appeared as though there were thousands of leaves around; no one could possibly discover that he was the Dragon Clone.
At this point, the Dragon Clone was extremely cautious, needing to guard against ambushes entering the Naval Base while also being wary of potential counterattacks from Lu Chen’s side.
A character of this level, like Dragon Clone, is very cautious in their actions and will not easily reveal any flaws. In fact, at this level, who isn't like that? The path to immortality is long and endless; if one is not careful, they might fall into someone else's trap and end up in a dire situation.
This state of affairs continued for Lu Chen until the fifth day. On the morning of the fifth day, Lu Chen made an appearance, but by noon he suddenly vanished and did not show up again until evening.
Dragon Clone thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead in self-reproach, saying, "I've fallen for it. This child is truly cunning; he set a trap for me using the Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell strategy. Damn it."
Dragon Clone suddenly realized that he had been outsmarted by Lu Chen. The other party had created a false impression to mislead him because he had matters to attend to at Naval Base.
In reality, Lu Chen had already left that morning, which is why he did not appear at noon or in the evening. At this point, with his speed, he must have traveled several thousand miles away.
He had taken advantage of Dragon Clone's cautious nature to create a chain reaction and smoothly execute his plan—truly brilliant.
"I'm furious! If I catch him, I will definitely tear him to pieces," Dragon Clone exclaimed, pounding his chest in anger, filled with hatred for Lu Chen.
Even though there was no significant enmity before this, Lu Chen's actions were a mockery of him and were truly infuriating.
After venting his frustration, Dragon Clone finally calmed down and began to consider his current situation.
"This child has plotted against me; he must have something important to attend to or may be involved in some sinister scheme. I cannot let him go easily; at the very least, I need to chase after him and see what's going on. Hmm, he has just left; it's not too far. I'll go take a look. He's headed towards the open sea? What could he be doing there? That area is our Xuan Huang Sect's territory. I should report the situation to Divine Dragon's Hideout first and then head out immediately."
Dragon Clone had assumed that since he had been waiting here without seeing Lu Chen pass by, the latter must have left from another direction. That direction led directly to the vast Eastern Sea.
After conveying the message to Divine Dragon's Hideout, Dragon Clone transformed into a long dragon form and flew into the sky towards the open sea.
At the same time, two large ships were making their way across the sea towards the Eastern Sea from Naval Camp, about five or six hundred miles from the mainland.
The two ships sailed against the wind; they were truly massive vessels that appeared as large as whales from a distance. In comparison, real whales seemed like mere fish before these giant ships—insignificant.
The sails on the ships billowed loudly in the wind, with sturdy ropes tying them into tofu-like shapes that swelled with air, providing immense power to the vessels.
On one of these large ships, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down, and soon after, Lu Chen's true form landed steadily on the deck.
At this moment, he seemed to be breathing a bit rapidly due to his hurried pace, his broad chest rising and falling.
He was standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, which was as wide as the Martial Arts Arena of the Five Element Sect, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people in formation.
The deck was equipped with many winch tools, and dozens of craftsmen and youths were busy with some adjustments and maintenance work.
On the ship's sides, cannons were lined up every few steps, their dark muzzles aimed outward. Anyone who dared to approach would immediately face the cannons, reduced to rubble.
The cannons designed by Chen Qilin were not the kerosene cannons of the Martial Arts Association but rather Fire Thunder cannons. Due to Chen Qilin's unique modifications, their power far exceeded those Fire Thunder cannons used by the Great Zhou Court's army.
The Fire Thunder cannons of the Great Zhou Court were also overseen by Chen Qilin.
As soon as Lu Chen landed on the deck, he caught the attention of Princess Zhulan and others. Seeing Lu Chen return safely, they were all very pleased.
"Lu Chen, how did it go? Was everything smooth?" Princess Zhulan asked with concern as they quickly walked toward the cabin.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Everything went well. I hope our strategy of secretly maneuvering will have a greater effect. However, considering the time, the Dragon Clone should have sensed something by now. We are only a few hundred miles away from the continent, but without precise coordinates and a Nautical Chart, it will be difficult for the Dragon Clone to find us for a while. So there's no need to worry," Lu Chen explained.
