Lu Youkang had allies to help him, and he had made preparations in advance. He acts as a cicada to attract the praying mantis, and his ally is the oriole.
Attack him from the front and back, and sink the ships that attack him.
His ship was also damaged, and he boarded a friendly ship that came to support.
They left a boat behind, but there were too many corpses falling into the water, and the blood flowing from the corpses attracted a swarm of sharks again.
The boat left behind was rummaging in the sea, probably fishing for white peonies.
Lu Youkang didn't stay, and Bai Mudan didn't mention him either.
I drove the diving boat out of the water, to a safe place to rise to the surface, and then sailed from the sea back to the site of the incident.
The salvage ship had stopped working and was gone. When Bai Mudan woke up, I asked her if she wanted to chase the salvage ship. Following it, we should be able to find Lu Youkang.
Bai Mudan shook her head and said that she was tired and wanted to find a solid place to rest and let her newborn baby girl rest.
I took her to Treasure Island and told the people on the island that she was a survivor who was rescued from a shipwreck.
The person who came forward was Guard Jia, but I still didn't show up.
Bai Mudan and her daughter stayed on Treasure Island for confinement. I asked Guard Jia to find an experienced aunt to take care of them.
Bai Mudan is in good health. I helped her during the delivery, so she didn't suffer much. After a few days of recovery, her complexion became much better.
After she is well and emotionally stable, I will talk to her.
Bai Mudan is a distinguished guest. Guards Jia and Wen Mian treat her politely and respectfully. She lives in a small independent courtyard.
It was just built not long ago and is part of the resort's accommodation area.
Xiaojiao chose it for her, and it was very comfortable to live in Bai Mudan.
She was in confinement, and we sat together and had a meal.
Her daughter is very well-behaved and quiet, and is a healthy and beautiful baby.
The child's name was chosen by Lu Youkang a long time ago. It is called Lu Yiping, which means a safe life.
When I heard the name, I thought it sounded familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen or heard it.
But there are too many people with the same name in the world, so this is not a big deal.
Bai Mudan named her child Zhuzhu.
I was curious and asked, why is it called Zhuzhu?
She smiled and said that this girl was born at the bottom of the sea and is a pearl in the sea, so she is called Zhuzhu.
"What a good name." I looked at the chubby little baby girl. Round pearls and white glutinous rice balls suited her very well.
"An... benefactor."
"Huh? Don't call me that." I interrupted Bai Mudan, "We are old acquaintances, just call me by my name."
"No, you are older than me. I call you Sister An, is that okay?"
Bai Mudan no longer looks like before, she has become quiet and taciturn, and all her sharpness and arrogance have disappeared.
"certainly."
"I haven't thanked you properly yet." She picked up the teacup and toasted me with tea instead of wine.
She has always called herself 'I' and even changed her title.
"I really deserve it." I drank a cup of tea and accepted her thanks calmly.
This actually made her feel a lot more relaxed. It was not a good feeling to bear a debt of gratitude.
"Sister An still hasn't changed." Bai Mudan smiled. This was the first time since she gave birth to her confinement.
“A country is easy to change, but a person’s nature is hard to change.”
"No, people will change." Her smile was short-lived, and a faint sadness enveloped her face again.
"For you young people, it's growth. I've already finalized it."
"Growing up? Maybe..."
She turned her head and looked at the child in the cradle. The cradle was made by Ah Whale and turned into a small boat, with carvings of fish, turtles and other marine life on it.
"Sister An, there are some things I have no one to talk to."
"You can tell me."
Changes occurred within the Jiu Shuang Kingdom. Bai Mudan, a once extremely favored princess, was not only being hunted down, but was also exiled and the royal family ignored her.
In the past, the auras on her and Lu Youkang's heads were given by their families. Once they lose the support of their families, they will not even be as good as ordinary people.
Because the darkness that was previously suppressed by the halo will fight back crazily.
So they had to hide in XZ. Some people in Jiu Shuang Kingdom wanted her to die, and some in the martial arts world wanted Lu Youkang to die.
Getting married is a turning point in their lives, a turning point from light to darkness.
The life of escape tests people's hearts, and the two people who have lost their halo have to face the cruel reality.
Bai Mudan feels that she is full of love and water. As long as she is with the person she loves, she can be happy even if she hides in the mountains and eats wild vegetables.
She is not interested in power. If someone wants to kill her, just hide away.
But Lu Youkang had different ideas from her.
He wants to take revenge, find out the truth, and restore the Lu family's former glory.
Bai Mudan naturally supports him, and she is willing to help him as long as he wants to do something.
She sent Azhao back to Jiu Shuang Kingdom to take out all her private money and give it to Lu Youkang to help him achieve his career.
Lu Youkang was poisoned, and she sent Azhao out to seek medical advice, and by chance, he got the antidote.
The old folk doctor had a weird temper. No matter how much A-Zhao begged or how much money he paid, the old doctor would not treat him.
Bai Mudan risked being killed and went out to kneel and kowtow to the old man in person. She knelt in his yard for seven days and fainted several times in the process.
Azhao has been looking after her and tried to persuade her to give up, but she just refused.
In the end, the old doctor was moved by her and took action to detoxify Lu Youkang.
When Lu Youkang woke up, he just wanted to take revenge and reorganize the martial arts alliance.
To say that he had changed his mind, that was not the case. It was just that Bai Mudan spent less and less time talking to him, and there were not many opportunities for the two of them to meet.
She understood Lu Youkang because he was planning plans day and night to find Mr. Lu's old friends and martial arts people who were still loyal to the Lu family.
But at the same time, she was afraid, feeling that Lu Youkang had changed into a different person, and she was afraid that he would go to extremes.
Before Bai Mudan fell into the water from the boat, Lu Youkang had a chance to catch her, but that meant that they both had to fall into the water at the same time.
Lu Youkang didn't reach out and watched her fall off the boat with heavy eyes.
She thought she was certain to die, but it was a pity that her unborn child would die.
"I know he has me in his heart, but right now he needs to find the treasure and revive the Wulin Alliance."
Yes, Lu Youkang left a ship to fish for people, so he must have had her in mind.
But instead of staying to fish for his wife and children together, he rushed to hunt for the treasure. He was indeed more anxious to get the treasure.
Bai Mudan said that she had no resentment towards Lu Youkang, but was just a little disappointed.
The fact that she is desperate for love has not changed. When she wanted to marry Lu Youkang, she was so determined that she would rather break up with her family.
I also know what Lu Youkang is carrying. Even if he doesn't collapse, he is considered to have a good psychological quality.
"You can live here with peace of mind. When he comes back from hunting for treasure, I will send someone to take you ashore."
"Sister An, I...don't know how to thank you, me..."
"You have already thanked me, so you don't need to thank me anymore. But remember to pay me for the food, drinks and accommodation you two have on the island when Lu Youkang becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance."
"Okay." Bai Mudan smiled with relief.
She used to be rich, so I saved her and helped her, and she paid me a lot of money.
Now that all her money has been given to Lu Youkang, she can no longer express her gratitude with money, which inevitably makes her nervous and embarrassed.
Besides, how much kindness is appropriate for saving a life?
If she wants more, she won't be able to get it, and if she wants less, it's better not to have it.
Anyway, she just needs to keep this feeling in mind. It's best if she's willing to repay him, and she's not willing to pull her down.
With a nominal fee for living costs, she can live and eat with peace of mind.
