Chapter 32: Bathroom Lord’s Promise (4)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
I stiffened and looked in the direction of the sound. Then I saw Lv Li rushing out of the cabin on the other side, tangling with the soldiers who stopped her, shouted with cries: “Your Highness! Are you on board?”

Jeez! How could she come along?

I was hopping mad. Jeez! She was merely putting a cat among the pigeons? No wonder people said things would get worse if women were involved.

While I was burning with worry, Yang Yan sneaked to stand behind me without warning. He covered my mouth with one hand, and strangled my waist with the other to drag me quietly backwards. He stopped until we were moved in the backlight of the ship and whispered to me, “The navy is going to search the ship, so I will take you with me to hide under the water!”

I was so worried that I bit Yang Yan’s hand ruthlessly, roaring: “Why you always drag me when you want to die? The river flow is so fierce, if we jumped into it, we would be swallowed in a second!”

Yang Yan proudly raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “That’s just you. If I were there, even the Dragon King, who was in charge of the rain in Chinese mythology, wouldn’t catch you.”

Nonsense! Yang Yan was not worth being trusted absolutely. In the morning, he said he could swim in dog paddle, however everything became lip-service in the evening! Who would believe it!

Yang Yan, however, ignored whether I agreed or not, turned his back and quickly took off his clothes, while urging me: “Hurry up! Throw out those useless things in you.”

Yang Yan’s back was thin but his muscle was tight. Jesus! If this were caught by Qi Sheng at this moment, we would be true adulterers!

Yang Yan turned his head and saw that I was still standing there, wondering, “What are you thinking about?”

What was I thinking? ‘I’ve got a lot in my mind! It’s going to be a mess!’

Who directed this drama today? Was the boss Qi Sheng or Bathroom Lord? It was clear that they both made early preparation because they reacted so quickly. The question was who was calculating the other? Since both sides were calculating me,. which side would offer me more benefits?

Choose Qi Sheng was to be justified, but I would be drowned in the public criticism. If I were found out from the Bathroom Lord’s ship in this way, my reputation would be ruined, as well as my career.

How about Bathroom Lord’s ship? How long could i stay here? They were blood brothers, how much better could he be?

The two ships came closer and closer, and the lock and hook of the opposite military ship had been extended to this side.

Yang Yan took off his clothes, tied them into a knot at random, threw them into the river, and returned to me urging me in the low voice: “Hurry up, don’t pretend to be shy! I will take you to swim to the bottom of the boat. You can never be found by Qi Sheng!”

In front of the prow, I couldn’t catch what Bathroom Lord and Qi Sheng were talking about except for the cry from Lv Li, so touching that it could make the earth shed tears.

A flash of wit came to me. It would be much better to stay in no matter whose ship this was rather than jumping into the water with Yang Yan!

When Yang Yan was not on alert, I pushed him out violently, turned and ran to the bow.

While outside the cabin, Qi Sheng had just stepped onto the deck, and Bathroom Lord bowed down three paces away from him, paying tributes respectfully, “My third elder brother.”

I took a few steps to rush up to Qi Sheng before everyone noticed. Then, I shouted in long, drawling voice learning from Lv Li, “Your Highness!”

Once I shouted it out, I had nothing to worry about.

I made a panic gesture and grabbed Qi Sheng’s clothes tightly, choking and saying, “Someone was trying to kill me and I fell into the water. It was Chu wang who saved me!”

When finished, I pretended unable to utter one more word, trembling was all I could do.

Qi Sheng raised his arm and paused slightly in the air. Then it fell on my shoulder and pulled me into his arms.

I had goose bumps instantly. What the fuck! If it were not your ship which was bigger and more stable, I wouldn’t have worked so hard to put on this show.

Bathroom Lord spoke apologetically behind me: “Third elder brother, third sister-in-law was out alone at night. I was afraid that your reputation would be distained, so I dared not tell you in the army, hope you would forgive me.”

Qi Sheng nodded gently and said in a low voice: “It is all right, as long as she is safe.”

Jesus! They were all talented actors! The best actress must be me, but who would be the best actor?

While thinking this, the best supporting actress Lv Li who followed behind also crossed the ship, then jumped to my side, shouting with tears and laughers: “My lady, what a good news, you are alive!”

I took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of Qi Sheng’s arms, turned around, hugged Lv Li sincerely, and said with a chuckle, “What a silly girl! What could happen to me? I am the cat with nine lives.”

After weeping and nodding, she wiped her tears and was about to open her mouth to speak when she turned a pale face suddenly, roared and pushed me away from her in all her strength.

I was pushed to sit on the deck unexpectedly. When I looked up, a short black arrow had been inserted in Lv Li’s chest and she was slowly falling backwards.

Since she had just crossed the boat, what behind her was the rail of the ship and down there was the dark, rushing water.

Without hesitation, I pounced on the ship to catch hold of a corner of Lv Li’s dress.

Many small boats suddenly appeared surrounding the ships on the river, like willow leaves floating in the water, where many people in black on board aimed at the bow. The arrows were shot like rain on the deck behind me, which caused chaos in ships. The guards on both ships were hurried to use the arches to fight back, but their ships were exposed to be the target while the small boats were in the dark, which brought in more casualties in their own ships.

Qi Sheng’s bodyguards had immediately protected him by brandishing their weapons to block arrows away. And there were even two or three people standing in front of Bathroom Lord to block the arrows.

I was alone in the prow of the boat, holding the clothes of Lv Li in my hands, and shouting back to the crowd: “Come and save us!”

Nobody seemed to have heard me. Nobody did.

Lv Li was so heavy that even if I clung to the rail of the ship with all my efforts, I was slipped out of the ship little by little.

She had to lose weight! If I could get out of this ship alive, I’d force her to lose weight!

The guards around Qi Sheng were shot one by one, and the people around him became less and less. Then he finally saw me, swung his sword to block the flying arrow, angrily shouted: “Leave her alone, and hide behind me!”

If I hadn’t had to save my energy, I would have spat at him “Bitch!” .You didn’t behave like a gentleman, how could I also reduce myself to your level?

Lv Li murmured softly, opened eyes seeing me catching her clothes: “My lady, you just let it go. It was worthwhile for me to be your maid in this life. For the next life, you would still be my lady and I would be your maid again to serve you.”

Most of my body out of the ship, I couldn’t even catch what was happening on deck, just hearing Lv Li’s “curse” on me that wished me to be a woman again next life. I couldn’t help breaking in: “Save your breath, to be the lady for your next life!”

Lv Li misunderstood my meaning, moved to tears again and again, and cried: “No! You are always my lady, and I would still be the maid to serve you!”

Damn it! Were it not for you blocked an arrow for me, your “curse” on me really made me fucking want to give you up!

Further slipped down, my hand, clinging to the rail of the ship, was struggling to hold on to the weight of me and Lv Li. Just then someone grabbed my belt behind me. It was Qi Sheng who shouted after me: “Give her up! I’ll pull you up!”

I turned my head and looked at him. Under the shadows of the lights, I stared into his eyes and said word by word, “This is a life.”

Qi Sheng froze for a while, his lips tightened, trying to lift me and Lv Li up together to the ship.

Bathroom Lord reached down from the other side and grabbed Lv Li under my hand. “You let her go and I’ll pull her up,” he said.

Then I let her go, and let the Bathroom Lord lift her up.

As a result, it reduced the heavy burden on Qi Sheng, which made it easy to save me up. There were few men left on deck, and the arrow attack died down. Several ships had gone after the willow boats, which turned the tables.

I climbed up to check how Lv Li was. Fortunately she did not hurt that seriously, and was not in danger. I released a sigh of relief, and before I could say a few words of comfort to her, something happened like a rising wind and scudding clouds on the deck.

Without any notice, a small boat has escaped the ship’s blocking and straight rushed to this ship. Several people in black like black kites jumped up to the ship from their boat, darted to the bow with knives.

I was a little nervous. I pressed Lv Li’s head on the ground, yelled to her in a low voice: “Lie down and feign death!”

After saying that, I searched a knife from the body of a guard, rose to meet the people in black.

Qi Sheng and Bathroom Lord were both engaged in the fight with those people in black. I stood watching the fight, clenching a knife in my hand and hopped with them from time to time, looking for the opportunity to stab the people in black in the back.

Qi Sheng was so angry that he took time to turn back, scolding me: “Stay away, don’t stir up more trouble!”

Before his voice had died away, the people in black cleaved down a guard, and suddenly rushed over to me.

What the fuck! I gained nothing from the fight. Instead I was lost in trap by them. I instinctively raised my knife to fight against him with both hands, never thinking that the strength on that knife was extremely strong. I felt numbness in both hands, and the knife in my hand was shaken off.

The people in black struck another attack. I could only lean backward to avoid the knife, forgetting that I was already on the verge of the ship. I fell from the ship unexpectedly! I was done. My life would end here.

In the midst of life and death, everything before me seemed to be slowed down so that I could see more clearly.

Lv Li screamed and struggled to get up from the deck.

Qi Sheng and Bathroom Lord turned to look at me, and the people in black took the opportunity to swing the knife to them……

There was a hint of hesitation flashed in Qi Sheng’s eyes, and eventually he turned back to the people in black, receiving the cut.
