Chapter 67 -67 You Are Not Xiang Ying, She’s Afraid of Water
The crew on both the front and back ships stood on the deck, watching this harrowing scene.
They were all worried for Xiang Ying and Jie Chen.
Scar face couldn’t find Xiang Ying, and instead heard that she had jumped into the water to repair the second ship’s cabin.
He was so scared that he ran to the stern, where a crowd had already gathered.
The soldiers discussed among themselves—
“Why would she do that? To help us? Or to save their own people from Xizhou?”
“I don’t know… But what can a woman do anyway? Don’t let Jie Jianjun also lose his life over this!”
Scar face immediately retorted angrily, “What about a woman? Weren’t you born of a woman?”
“When something happens, a woman dares to show such courage, while you guys on the deck are nothing but cowards!”
“The second ship not only carries Xizhou’s prisoners but also our own brothers!”
With that, he turned and walked away.
Leaving the soldiers ashamedly looking at each other, eventually bowing their heads.
Scar face was still thinking about looking after Xiang Ying’s children.
How could the children not be scared to tears upon learning about Xiang Ying’s actions?
However, it wasn’t long before he saw Tao Xue and three little ones running over in tears.
“Mother! Mother!” Xiang Xiuxiu shouted toward the turbulent water, and was grabbed by the wrist by Qi Fengyi.
“It’s too dangerous, Princess, you can’t get any closer!”
Xiang Li also stumbled over, and the three children surrounded him crying.
Xiang Yuanlang’s eyes reddened, he pointed at the water surface and shouted, “River God, listen, if you drown my mother, I’ll come to the water’s edge every day and curse, blasting all the fish to the surface, so you can’t have peace!”
Tao Xue sobbed against the railing, “If anything happens to the elder princess, I don’t want to live either!”
Scar face chased after them to comfort, “Don’t worry, believe in the elder princess, she is… she is Xiang Ying!”
Xiang Qianqian and the others also heard about Xiang Ying’s deeds.
Empress Dowager Shangguan laughed ominously, “Good, very good, it’s better if she dies thinking too highly of herself!”
Xiang Qianqian’s tone was somber, “I really didn’t expect it, big sister is really addicted to pretending? She really thinks she’s a savior, daring to do such dangerous things.”
She quietly clasped her hands together.
May heaven bless, and let Xiang Ying die for good.
The decks of the two ships were already crowded with people, all tensely staring at the surface of the water.
Suddenly, a grappling hook shot out from the water, directly wrapping around the railing of the second ship.
Everyone hurriedly exclaimed with joy, “They’re coming up, they’re coming up!”
However, the figure that appeared was only that of Jie Chen.
The soldiers were unavoidably disappointed and astonished, “Where is the prisoner Xiang Ying?”
Jie Chen climbed halfway up the rope and wiped the river water from his face, turning to look around at the water surface.
“Xiang Ying!” he called out urgently.
The pitch-black water surged like mountain waves, and the sound of thunder and rain was like the beating of drums.
Xiang Ying’s figure did not appear for a long time.
Someone said, “She… has she drowned?”
All the soldiers fell silent.
Jie Chen’s voice was hoarse as he yelled, “Xiang Ying…!”
Suddenly!
Another grappling hook flew out from the water and wound around the railing.
Jie Chen’s eyes widened slightly, and everyone held their breath.
Until Xiang Ying’s slender figure climbed out of the water along the rope.
Her wet hair clung to the sides of her pale cheeks, but her phoenix eyes shone like stars in the dark.
The moment they confirmed she was still alive, the soldiers and prisoners burst into cheers and applause.
Xiang Ying climbed halfway, embracing the rope, her red lips panting for breath.
“Jie Chen, give me a hand, I have no strength left.”
Jie Chen immediately swung the rope, “Don’t move, I’m coming.”
As soon as his hand grasped her wrist, Xiang Ying was pulled into his fervent embrace.
Together, they climbed aboard.
The soldiers instantly cleared a circle.
Xiang Ying took a two-second breather, then stood up straight away, “Where is the crack in the ship?”
The team leader of the second ship immediately came forward to respond, “At the bottom of the hold, I’ll take you there.”
Jie Chen held her shoulder, “You wait here, I’ll go, that’s enough.”
“I didn’t come all this way just to stand and watch.”
Xiang Ying slightly tilted her chin upward, her face delicate and beautiful but excessively resolute.
She directly had the team leader lead the way, heading towards the bottom of the cabin, with Jie Chen accompanying her.
The people on the first ship stood at the stern and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw they were safe.
Xiang Li’s pale face also finally gained a bit of color.
He and Lin Lingxiang comforted the three children in their arms.
“Don’t be scared, Ayin will return safely.”
Almost everyone crowded at the stern, while in a certain silent and dark cabin, Fang Qian sat on top of stacked boxes.
His brows and eyes were slightly drooped, and his expression was not his usual joking and cheerful one, but extremely gloomy and grim.
Fang Qian’s slender fingertips fiddled with an ancient coin, tossing it up and catching it.
A shadow appeared in front of him.
If Xiang Ying saw him, she would definitely recognize him as one of the fishermen familiar with the waterways that Jie Chen had captured.
He bowed his hand: “Young Master, our people carried out the plan and broke the bottom of the second ship. The intention was to make them abandon the water route, but we did not expect this Xiang Ying to foil our plan.”
“It was even more unexpected that she and Jie Chen would both board the second ship. Just now, my subordinates observed that they have gone to repair the ship cabin.”
Fang Qian’s expression did not change, and as he caught the ancient coin for the last time, he clenched it tightly in his palm.
“Xiang Ying really surprised me. I could hardly recognize her when I saw her this time.”
“Young Master, what should we do next?”
“Stand down, since we cannot prevent them from taking the water route and falling into our ambush; I’ll just follow Xiang Ying closely and ‘enjoy’ the journey with her.”
As Fang Qian spoke, his eyes were deep: “She must know where the Imperial Jade Seal is.”
Half an hour passed.
The rain lessened, and Xiang Ying and Jie Chen worked together to repair the broken cabin.
Xiang Ying caressed the marks supposedly left by the hidden reef, her forehead slightly furrowed as if pondering something.
Though the cuts were jagged, each one was very straight.
If it was really hit by a hidden reef, it wouldn’t be this regular.
While she was still thinking, Jie Chen had already dragged her out of the cabin.
“Hey…” Xiang Ying frowned, “What are you doing?”
Jie Chen didn’t answer her, and instead ordered another team leader, “Prepare a set of dry clothes for her and a cabin where she can rest.”
The team leader quickly led the way.
Xiang Ying was dragged forward by Jie Chen.
Eventually, the two entered an unoccupied cabin, and Jie Chen slammed the door shut.
Xiang Ying’s lower back was still hurting, and now she frowned, “What are you doing? Are you going to lose your temper again?”
“You’re not Xiang Ying.” Jie Chen’s voice was cold and forbidding, beginning with such a statement.
Xiang Ying’s phoenix eyes widened in surprise.
Jie Chen slowly approached, his presence dark and looming, encircling Xiang Ying like a mountain’s shadow.
“Xiang Ying is afraid of water, deathly afraid, yet you’ve been in the water twice with no signs of fear.”
Xiang Ying furrowed her brows, recalling the flash of memory that had passed through her mind after falling into the water earlier.
That must have been the original owner’s shadow of fear of water.
Repeatedly being submerged in water for fun by her own Father would naturally lead to fear of water.
But she was not the original owner.
Xiang Ying let out a scoffing laugh.
“You seem to know me quite well, but that’s all there is to it.”
Her phoenix eyes twinkled with dark luster, as if crescent moons were hidden within.
Xiang Ying, as if unwinding silk from a cocoon, shed her robe.
The damp clothes fell to the ground with a muffled, suggestive sound.
Instantly, Jie Chen turned his head away, his voice hoarse, “Get dressed!”

However, Xiang Ying’s icy hand forcefully grabbed his chin, making him look back at her.
Jie Chen clenched his eyes shut tightly.
Laughter from Xiang Ying could be heard.
“That one absurd time we had, you must have seen very clearly, I have a red mole on my chest. Open your eyes!”
Jie Chen’s muscles tensed, but after a moment, he slowly opened his slender eyes.
On the woman’s radiant, jade-like skin, the small red mole on the chest was particularly striking.
It was her, Xiang Ying.
A dark shade flickered through Jie Chen’s pitch-black pupils.
The next second, he quickly took off his outer robe, its cold arc slicing through the air as he turned and draped it over Xiang Ying.
Jie Chen turned his back, his voice low and husky, “You didn’t need to prove it like this.”
