The young man was still wearing a hooded sweater, but he didn't look carefree or arrogant with the hood on his head. Now he looked extremely miserable with his whole body soaked in water.
Fortunately, he was carrying a protective leather bag and a small oxygen tank tied to his body.
He must have had a trick up his sleeve, which is why he had a small oxygen cylinder like this with him. Even though this oxygen cylinder couldn't last for too long, it helped him avoid the most critical search.
Zhai Xicheng looked at the destroyed ferry and the empty sea, his face almost sank. He couldn't imagine what would have happened to him if the traveler had stayed a few more minutes to use up his oxygen or if the weather had been better today and the visibility on the seabed had been higher...
In short, I won't be able to barely evade the other party's search like I am now.
He had not yet been in such an embarrassing situation, but he knew very well that he would have to drift on the sea for an unknown period of time until the people from the hidden family who came to pick him up found him here.
In this kind of weather, he was floating alone in the cold sea. Even if he was rescued later, he would at least be soaked.
"Qiao Nian..."
Zhai Xicheng uttered a name with his lips that were frozen purple.
He drifted on the sea for about two hours, until all the blood in his body froze and he was about to lose consciousness... Finally, he heard the sound of a whistle.
Before Zhai Xicheng lost consciousness, he saw with blurry vision several familiar faces pulling him up from the sea and calling his name nervously.
"Master Xicheng."
"Master Zhai."
"Master Zhai, please wake up. Doctor, please get the doctor here quickly!"
When Zhai Xicheng heard the shouts of these people, he tried hard to move the muscles at the corners of his lips that had been numb from the cold, and looked up at the sky where it was raining with empty eyes.
The dark clouds completely pressed down.
The weather is unbearably cold.
He had lost all feeling in his lower body, but luckily Nie Qingru's men arrived quickly and saved him from freezing to death on the sea.
Zhai Xicheng could hear chaotic footsteps on the deck, but he no longer had the energy to pay attention to them.
There was only one name that came to his mind.
Qiao Nian.
He had never suffered such a loss in his life.
Qiao Nian almost took his life this time and made him so embarrassed. The grudge between them was set.
This was the first time he was so excited to kill someone. It had nothing to do with the grudges he had been obsessed with in the past. He was like a lion in the wilderness eager to hunt, and suddenly found that there was someone in this world who could fight him on equal terms.
His blood was boiling, his capillaries were screaming wildly, longing hoarsely...
"Master Zhai, it's the Queen calling." Someone squatted down and carefully handed the speakerphone to his ear with fear on his face, not daring to look at the distorted and excited expression on his face.
Zhai Xicheng heard the person on the other end of the phone probably asking him if he was okay, what happened, etc.
Zhai Xicheng was extremely exhausted, but he did not fall into a coma only because of his willpower. He didn't pay much attention to the voice on the other end of the phone. His hoarse voice was filled with frightening madness: "I'm fine. I just... found an interesting opponent... It's really interesting."
…
M continent.
In Nie Qingru's castle.
She heard the crazy voice of the person on the other end of the phone, who was between consciousness and coma, saying something like "interesting opponent", and her eyelids twitched violently.
"Come back first."
