Chapter 178 The Early Bird Catches the Early Bird
"Have you seen Xiaoyu?" Jiang Ren stood up excitedly. "How is she? Is she alright? Where is she?"
The old father asked three questions in one breath, leaving Gray Island, who was standing in the middle of the hall, at a loss for words. He could only look to Keslan for help.
“Oh, wait, wait. Respected General Jiang Ren.” Keslan waved his hand from the sofa. He was unusually dressed in a white shirt, and even though the fire in the room was burning brightly, he was still wearing a short-haired shawl.
“I understand your anxiety. We are all concerned about Lord Jiang Yu’s safety. However, my subordinate, Hui Yu, is always clumsy with words. It would be better to let him explain slowly and clearly, otherwise we might miss something.”
"Yes, yes, Chief Keslan is absolutely right." Jiang Ren raised his hand to wipe his face, feeling that he was being too unsteady and undignified. It was because his worries about his daughter and son-in-law over the past few days had tormented him and made him lose his usual self-control.
"That's right, General Lin Yi's men bought us some time and lured away the sea monster, which allowed Qing and me to go down to the seabed and meet Lord Jiang Yu."
Huiyu carefully chose his words, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
"Lord Jiangyu was kept in a large bubble by that monster. There was also a bubble around her body, which was probably to help her breathe underwater."
"The lord looks very healthy, with a rosy complexion." As for his revealing attire, he didn't dare to mention it.
"We hadn't exchanged more than a few words when the sea monster returned. The good news was that the sea monster could understand human speech and was very obedient to Lord Jiangyu. It almost killed me and Qing, but Lord Jiangyu made it release us with just one sentence."
"Of course, there's also bad news." Huiyu pursed his lips and said as slowly as possible, "Lord Jiangyu has lost her memory. She says she doesn't remember anything or anyone."
Amnesia? How could that be?
Even the head of the Fan family, who was present, couldn't help but sit up straight. His own child had almost given his life to ensure the safety of Lord Jiang Yu, but had she already forgotten him?
As parents, although they knew that this was probably something beyond human control, they still felt indignant for Qingyin and were very worried.
Jiang Ren's expression was also quite interesting. He had just received news that his daughter was indeed safe, but the news of her amnesia made his smile disappear.
Only Keslan gave a cryptic smile. Amnesia? Good. Then there's no such bullshit rule of first come, first served.
"Hey, I just remembered that the brothers have been working day and night in the sea, they must be exhausted. As the eldest brother, I have to go and comfort them." Keslan stood up with a smile, tightened his light-colored fur coat, and put his long legs in black fur-trimmed leather boots, looking very imposing.
"I am honored to have been treated with such hospitality during these past few days, and I will always remember it." He nodded to the head of the Fan family, and then called to Huiyu, "Alright, the message has been delivered, now you can leave."
After saying that, he stretched out his long legs and took the lead in walking out.
He was making plans in his mind. It would be best if Fan Qingyin lay here half-dead and never woke up. Lin Yi was trapped in the royal city and couldn't spare the time, so he would go to the forbidden sea to keep watch, just in case Jiang Yu was rescued sometime.
As the saying goes, birds call the first person they see when they open their eyes "Mom".
Thinking of this, he glanced at Gray Island following behind him: "Did you wear a mask when you met Lord Jiang Yu?"
"Uh, I'm wearing it." Huiyu really didn't understand the meaning of the boss's question, but then he saw the boss turn around arrogantly and continue walking out.
"Ah! Boss." Gray Island suddenly stopped, and Keslan turned around to look at him with a puzzled expression. "There's something I forgot to mention."
"What?"
"Not long after I came out of the sea, the entire Forbidden Sea erupted with a strong purple light, which lasted for a long time, about an hour or so." Huiyu felt like he had made a huge mistake; he had completely forgotten to mention such important information.
"Ha, do you think they wouldn't know about this commotion immediately? You don't actually think we're the only ones around the Forbidden Sea, do you? Foolish." Keslan rolled his eyes. "Let's go! See you at the Forbidden Sea."
As he spoke, he let out a short whistle. Just as he reached the door, he saw the pitch-black Arthur swooping down and landing on a sloping roof.
Arthur was extremely dissatisfied. It had only been a few days, and that light gray female had seduced him completely. They had only been intimate a few times, and she was already in such a hurry to leave. It was really annoying.
It snorted and jumped in front of Keslan, its bright green eyes glaring angrily at its master. But when it met those fierce, unsmiling, clear yellow eyes, it lowered its head timidly.
Forget it, I can’t win.
Only it knew what Keslan was. This man was always sarcastic and unserious, always smiling, but his clear yellow, beast-like eyes held a completely different emotion.
It won't let anyone, especially its cute little females, know that Keslan beat it severely and tamed it without even giving it a chance to react.
He's a freak. The whole Yuria family is crazy, and he's not only crazy, he's a jinx. No wonder the old man who heads the Yuria family went to great lengths to remove him from the family.
The only one in the world who could probably defeat him is that legendary sea monster we saw last time.
“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.” Keslan rode on Arthur’s back, gently stroking its head. “You’re having a good time with your harem, aren’t you? Smell yourself, you stink. You’ve been fooling around these past few days, haven’t you?”
"I didn't feel it before, but now I do feel a bit lonely. If you dare to laugh at me in your heart again, or hinder my good fortune in escaping this sea of loneliness, or have any wicked thoughts, I will twist your head off and then choose the most capable one among your descendants to inherit your position."
"Did you understand, my dear?" Keslan leaned down and whispered intimately in Arthur's ear, but what he really said was, "And I guarantee that the glorious story of you being beaten up by humans will immediately spread throughout the three great empires. I'll make sure every dragon eagle knows. Do you think I can do that?"
Keslan was in a good mood and gently kissed Arthur's head. "Now, my dear, let's set off right away. Wish me luck."
“First of all, it shouldn’t be a problem to have your lover send me a letter, right?” Keslan held a short letter with a fierce owl-shaped wax coating between his long, slender fingers.
He is a grateful person. Since the Fan family is so sensible, we should tell the Aurora Empire branch to waive the commission for two orders.
Arthur was no longer the imposing and ferocious creature he had been moments before. Having such an owner, even the best reincarnation was a waste; he was practically the epitome of the world's most miserable working class.
With a lifeless, drooping face, it resignedly flew towards the lair of its lover, the Aurora Empire.
