After a while, everyone dispersed. Wei Ying and Lan Zhan, too, got to their room.

"Lan Zhan, don't be angry anymore." Wei Ying hugs Lan Zhan.

"Not angry" says Lan Zhan, returning the hug.

"But I wonder why she was so hostile towards me. But anyways, it's none of our concerns. Once we reach the island, we will never cross paths again."

Wei Ying puts his head in Lan Zhan's chest.

"Wait..... weren't these bedding given to us that maid today. Even our food every day has been more exaggerated compared to others." Wei Ying says, feeling that he was closer to the truth.

"Don't tell me.... she has a crush on you, Lan Zhan. Ayo.... no wonder she was so hostile towards me. Looks like your charms have started to work. I think I have to become more careful, or else someone might just steal you away."

Wei Ying laughs heartily. Lan Zhan stares and smiles before shutting Wei Ying with a kiss.

" Don't need to be careful. I'll always choose Wei Ying."

The two look into each other's eyes. Both of their's eyes show only each other's image.

"Ayo... Lan Zhan, your Wei Ying is weak in heart. Don't say things like that."

"Mn... then I'll say it more so that Wei Ying's heart becomes stronger."

Lan Zhan looks at his lover, who dramatically swoons in his arms.

"Lan Zhan... you..you.."

Lan Zhan kisses Wei Ying again, which makes the other shut up.

While their room was warm, another room on the ship was filled with screams and sounds of things breaking.

"How dare they.... how dare they humiliate me like this. I'll make them pay for it."

The next day, no one spoke to them. Even the people who regularly chatted with them chose to stay away from them. Even when Wei Ying greeted them, they looked away.

The staff made a lot of trouble for them too. From giving them stale and unpalatable food to refusing to give them water for use.

Xiao Lei and Lan Wangji were very livid, but Wei Ying calmed them. It's no use getting angry when only 3 days' worth of journey was left. It's not that he, himself, was not angry, but he felt that it was not worth their time.

Soon, the day was over, and the next day started. The journey was like the same as usual. However, Wei Ying felt that something big might happen.

When Lan Zhan questioned Wei Ying if he was alright, he just smiled and said it was nothing.

He soon got over his odd feeling when he saw the day was almost over. He started to joke with Lan Zhan and Xiao Lie again.

When Mei Hua went outside, she saw this scene. Two people were laughing while one just stared at the man wearing black and red. She wanted to destroy this image and tear it into pieces.

Even when the three saw Mei Hua's black face, they ignored her. A woman's jealousy is indeed ugly.

BANG

The ship violently shook. Everyone started to scream and shout.

"I don't want to die......"

"Mom...."

"Waahhh.."

"It's a whale... Everyone, don't worry. It's a whale..." the staff shouted.

Just when the chaos had receded a little bit, a high-pitched scream was heard.

Lan Wangji had drawn his sword and pointed it at Mei Hua's throat. Blood flowing out from the area, which had been cut by Bichen's pointed tip.

"You... you're....you're crazy." Mei Hua screamed.

When people around saw this scene, they felt cold.

"What are you doing to Miss. Stop pointing your sword at her." The maid from before chimed.

"Wangji, put your sword down. Wei Wuxian is fine. He knows how to swim perfectly, and we can just pull him." Xiao Lei says, trying to calm Wangji.

Instead of lowering his sword, he presses it more deeply. More blood starts to seep out from the cut, but he doesn't care.

"Ahh.."

"Stop... stop."

"She will die.. stop it."

After what felt like an eternity, he finally moved his sword. However, unlike what others expected, he made another cut.

"If even one strand of Wei Ying's hair is gone, you will not live to see the next day." Lan Zhan threatens with eyes filled with rage.

Finally, he lowers his sword. Lan Zhan walks towards the edge, not caring about the crying Mei Hua.

He looks down and sees that Wei Ying was still there.

"Lan Zhan... I told you I'm fine. I was raised in the Jiang sect, so how can my water skills be poor?"

Below in the ocean was Wei Ying. When the ship was shaking, Mei Hua had taken advantage of the chaos and pushed Wei Ying from the ship.

Lan Zhan was about to jump too when Xiao Lei had stopped him. Wei Ying, too, shouted that he was ok and that Lan Zhan didn't need to jump too.

The relief of knowing Wei Ying was fine was soon replaced by anger when he saw Mei Hua smiling viciously without remorse.

Before he knew it, his sword was already out and near Mei Hua's throat.

He doesn't regret raising his sword, though. Whoever tries to hurt Wei Ying shall meet their demise by his hands.

He used his qi to send his sword towards Wei Ying. After he was sure that Wei Ying had a tight grip on his sword, he tried to pull his sword. But the sword did not go up.

"Lan zha--"

Wei Ying was cut short when a force suddenly pulled him. He started to feel dizzy, making him unable to fight that force. Everything happened so quickly, but he still adamantly held onto Lan Zhan's sword, but because of extreme dizziness, he couldn't hold it anymore.

As soon as Lan Zhan saw Wei Ying struggling with something, he acted immediately. While putting more qi on his sword, he jumped into the sea. Unfortunately, he could just touch Wei Ying's hands before they got separated.

He dived into the water trying to follow the force but all he saw were tails swimming in the distance.
