After a while, Ye Fan slowly landed the Auspicious Clouds on the deck of the battleship.
"Hongji!"
Before the clouds dispersed, the tall man hugged Yue Hongji, who was wearing a mask and staring at him with a dumbfounded expression on her face.
Ye Fan frowned and looked at the tall man who was engaged to Akatsuki.
Not only was this person tall, but he was also very handsome.
He had sword-like eyebrows, an aquiline nose, starry eyes, and white teeth. His face was angular, and his temperament was heroic. His black hair fluttered behind him, and he had a dark green saber at his waist.
Like Akatsuki, he was also wearing a red robe. Under the slight sea breeze, the red robe fluttered like a ball of fire.
For some reason, when he saw this man hugging Akatsuki tightly in his arms, Ye Fan's fists clenched uncontrollably!
"Qian … Qian Yao-kun … You … Why are you here?" Akatsuki, who was tightly hugged in his arms, stared with wide eyes. She was at a loss and stuttered in Japanese.
"I miss you, so I specially asked Master to come to the Great Ming Dynasty to help Mr. Matsumoto. This way, I can see you every day and won't have to worry about you every day." The tall man said and hugged Akatsuki even tighter.
"You … Let go of me first …" Akatsuki pushed the man away and said anxiously.
As she spoke, she unconsciously looked back at Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was expressionless. His face was ashen as he stared coldly at the tall man.
Under the mask, Akatsuki bit her lower lip and immediately looked away.
"Qian Yao-kun, let me introduce you. This is my … My mission partner, Ye Bufan, Mr. Ye." Akatsuki introduced Ye Fan to the tall man.
"I've heard a lot about Mr. Ye. I'm Yamamoto Chiyo, Hongji's fiancé. Please advise me." Yamamoto Chiyo nodded politely to Ye Fan and introduced himself in fluent Chinese.
After hearing the word fiancé, Ye Fan's heart suddenly hurt as if it was pierced by a needle.
"Bufan -kun, this is my … My second uncle Koizumi Yuji's last disciple, Yamamoto Chiyo." Akatsuki introduced Yamamoto Chiyo to Ye Fan.
Yamamoto Chiyo frowned and looked at Akatsuki.
She didn't say he was her fiancé.
"Ye Bufan," Ye Fan said to Yamamoto Chiyo, "Please advise me."
"I heard from Mr. Matsumoto that Mr. Ye has repeatedly saved Hongji from danger. Yamamoto is very grateful. Thank you Mr. Ye for saving my fiancé." Yamamoto Chiyo bowed to Ye Fan and said solemnly.
"You're welcome." Ye Fan replied, "Hong Ji saved my life before. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be standing here right now."
Ye Fan said and turned to look at Akatsuki.
Akatsuki looked down and didn't speak.
Looking at the expressions of the two, Yamamoto Chiyo vaguely felt that the relationship between the two was a bit unusual.
But as for what exactly was wrong, he couldn't pinpoint it.
"I'm a little tired. I'll go back to the cabin to rest. You haven't seen each other for a long time. You must have a lot to talk about. I won't disturb the two of you. Goodbye." Ye Fan said expressionlessly while taking Baihu from Akatsuki's hand. Then, he tapped the deck with the tip of his foot and flew toward the boat.
Looking at Ye Fan's figure flying away, Akatsuki felt a trace of pain in her heart.
"Hongji, I miss you so much …" After Ye Fan left, Yamamoto Chiyo held Akatsuki's hand and said softly.
"Although Master has promised to betroth me to you, I'm not your wife yet. Please don't be like this." Akatsuki withdrew her hand from Yamamoto Chiyo's hand and said coldly.
"Hongji, you …" Yamamoto Chiyo saw that Akatsuki was cold to him, and his eagle-like eyes immediately wrinkled.
"I told you when I was in Japan that you were indeed very good to me, but I don't like you." Akatsuki said to Yamamoto Chiyo, "Although Master has agreed to this marriage, no one can force me when it comes to feelings."
"But Hongji, I'm sincere to you …" Yamamoto Chiyo anxiously said to Akatsuki.
"Chiyo, I'm tired. I want to rest for a while. Is that okay?" Akatsuki interrupted Yamamoto Chiyo and said.
Yamamoto Chiyo took a deep breath and slowly nodded.
Akatsuki walked around Yamamoto Chiyo and walked toward her cabin …
In the cabin of the boat, Ye Fan was lying naked in a steaming wooden bathtub. His arms were draped outside, and he held a wine jug in his hand. From time to time, he would take a big gulp.
On the square cabinet beside the bathtub, there were more than a dozen empty wine jugs strewn all over the place.
Baihu lay on the table at the side and looked at Ye Fan with heartache.
But this time, it didn't stop Ye Fan from drinking.
With Ye Fan's current cultivation, no matter how much he drank, it wouldn't hurt him.
Since he wanted to get drunk, let him get drunk.
Perhaps he would feel better after getting drunk.
The white fox thought to itself.
It would always think from Ye Fan's perspective.
Knock knock knock …
Just as Ye Fan was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Ye Fan, who reeked of alcohol, asked impatiently.
He was so annoyed that he didn't have the mood to care about who was outside.
"Mr. Ye, it's me, Ishii." Ishii's respectful voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Ye Fan asked with a frown as he leaned against the wooden tub with his eyes closed.
"Miss Yue prepared some food and wine and asked me to deliver it to you," Ishii replied.
"Leave it at the door," Ye Fan said as he opened his eyes.
"Yes," Ishii replied.
"By the way, I've finished all the wine here. Prepare some for me," Ye Fan instructed Ishii. "The more, the better."
"What wine would you like to drink, Sir? Japanese sake? Red wine from the Central Plains? Or grape wine from the Western Regions? "Ishii asked Ye Fan.
"Prepare whatever wine is the strongest." Ye Fan tilted his head back and gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine as he spoke.
"Yes, I'll do it right away," Ishii said as he placed the food box at the door and turned to leave.
In a short while, the sound of Ishii's footsteps and the muffled sound of wine jars falling to the ground came from outside the door.
"Mr. Ye, I've brought you ten jars of wine," Ishii replied from outside the door. "Purple Gold Wine, Bamboo Green Wine, Shaoxing Yellow, Sake, and Sōdaozi. Two jars of each of the five types of wine. They're all top-grade spirits."
"Okay," Ye Fan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You may go."
"Yes." Ishii turned and left.
Splash …
Ye Fan stood up from the bathtub and reached out to pull off a white towel to wrap around his waist. Then, he stepped out of the bathtub and went downstairs barefooted.
Whoosh …
When he reached the door, the drunk Ye Fan reached out to slide open the cabin door.
On the deck outside the cabin door were ten jars of good wine and a food box.
Ye Fan picked up the food box and opened the lid.
There were six dishes, three meat and three vegetable dishes, all of which were Ye Fan's favorite.
Apart from that, there were also two plates of exquisite pastries prepared for Baihu.
Ye Fan closed the lid of the food box again and then gently brushed the ten jars of good wine on the ground.
Whoosh …
The ten jars of strong wine immediately floated up when Ye Fan brushed them.
Ye Fan carried the food box and turned to go upstairs.
The ten jars of wine seemed to have a mind of their own. They floated behind Ye Fan and entered the cabin.
Splash …
The cabin door closed automatically.
On the warship, Akatsuki stood in front of the cabin window. Her eyes were red as she watched the drunk Ye Fan move the wine into the cabin.
He was drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Akatsuki thought to herself as she wiped her tears.
After returning to the cabin, Ye Fan first fed Baihu the pastries in the food box. Then, he placed the six dishes, three meat and three vegetable dishes, on the table.
He picked up a jar of wine, smashed the mud seal, filled the empty bowl on the table, and began to drink by himself.
The dishes were good, and the wine was good, but Ye Fan felt that the taste was like chewing wax.
When he thought of the scene where Chiyao Yamamoto hugged Akatsuki in his arms and called her his fiancée, Ye Fan's anger surged up.
He wanted to get angry, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on.
Should he look for Akatsuki?
She was kind to him, but he pretended to be stupid and didn't appreciate it. How could he blame her!
Chiyao Yamamoto?
That won't do.
Although he wanted to beat this guy, he still didn't have any reason to do so.
He was right. Akatsuki was his fiancée. Hugging his fiancée was not too much, right?
The more Ye Fan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He picked up the big bowl and drank the wine.
He couldn't do anything now except drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
Knock knock knock …
There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Ye Fan put down the wine bowl and asked impatiently in a loud voice.
Usually, this ship was quiet, and no one came. How come today he couldn't even drink in peace!
"Brother Ye, it's me."
Chi Yao's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Fan frowned after listening.
Brush …
Chi Yao in a black robe appeared out of thin air in the berth cabin.
When he saw Ye Fan only had a bath towel wrapped around his waist, Chi Yao was surprised at first, and then smiled.
"Brother Ye really knows how to enjoy life. Don't you feel bored drinking alone with good wine and good food? Why didn't that beauty called Akatsuki accompany you? Could it be that you had a quarrel? "Chi Yao said with a smile. He shook his black robe and sat in the empty seat opposite Ye Fan.
"Don't you think you talk too much nonsense?" Ye Fan looked up at Chi Yao, picked up the wine jar and filled the bowl.
Chi Yao smiled after hearing this.
"What do you want from me? If you have something to say, say it quickly. "Ye Fan put down the wine jar and said to Chi Yao impatiently.
"I have an important news to tell you. You should be interested." Chi Yao said while reaching for an empty bowl on the table. He then picked up the wine jar and filled the bowl full of wine.
"What news?" Ye Fan looked up and asked.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi and that Yamamoto Shingo quietly went out for a few days." Chi Yao put down the wine jar and said to Ye Fan.
"Went out for a few days? Where did they go? "Ye Fan asked Chi Yao.
Chi Yao shook his head.
"This is the important news you want to tell me?" Ye Fan coldly snorted and asked Chi Yao. "It's normal for them to go out."
"Wait until you hear what I'm going to say. You won't think so," Chi Yao said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Ye Fan asked with a frown.
"When Matsumoto Takeyoshi and Yamamoto Shingo went out, I wasn't on the warship. But when I came back, I found some clues." Chi Yao lowered his voice and said to Ye Fan.
"What clues?" Ye Fan asked.
"Matsumoto Takeyoshi and Yamamoto Shingo in the warship's hold were impersonated." Chi Yao said and picked up the wine bowl to drink.
