Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Once the dishes were served, Bai Jin and Yang Yu started their meal.

Bai Jin noticed the peculiar atmosphere earlier; her gaze wandered aimlessly, unsure where to settle.

Bai Jin understood that Yang Yu must have sensed something, but she didn’t know Yang Yu’s mood.

The meal had barely begun when the staff brought a large cup of colorful drinks and said:

”This is a special gift from our hotel, wishing both of you a bond that lasts forever.”

A bond that lasts forever?

Bai Jin didn’t react initially, but upon seeing the heart-shaped straws intertwined in the cup, she suddenly realized and nearly choked on her food, quickly saying:

”This...that...can we get rid of this...”

Before Bai Jin could finish, the staff hummed a tune and walked away. With so many customers today, their hotel was making a fortune, and offering some small services was warranted.

Yang Yu ate while tugging on Bai Jin’s mage robe,

”Don’t mind it. Just enjoy your meal.

It seems like no one will disturb us tonight.

It’s rare to have such an opportunity; I’ll take you out for a walk.

If you have something to say or some unfinished words, you can tell me then.

Don’t worry about all sorts of things.

Even if we stay out overnight, Luo Luosi will inform us of anything important.

Think carefully, how did that staff come about?

Luo Luosi saw me wake up and then asked the staff to find us.”

”I see.” Bai Jin took a sip of water. The fact that Yang Yu wasn’t upset about her accidentally revealing their relationship brought her a sigh of relief, but recalling his words made her almost spit out the water she drank.

Even if we stay out overnight...could Yang Yu possibly mean...

Bai Jin’s face flushed red, her eyes spinning in their sockets, her mind blank.

Yang Yu smiled, ”What’s wrong? Are you feeling shy? Finally took the initiative to invite you, you wouldn’t want to reject, would you?”

”Of course not. I’ll accompany you anytime.” Bai Jin said, her face red as she lowered her head, ”If necessary...please be gentle.”

Looking at the adorable Bai Jin, akin to a hamster, Yang Yu chuckled and picked up his chopsticks, his cheeks inadvertently blushing, feeling he had just said something rather embarrassing.

The joyous time is always fleeting.

Especially in this increasingly complex world.

Actually, the world has always been complex; it’s only as one’s experience grows that people gradually notice this.

Many things cannot be resolved solely by oneself.

Many things, if not paid attention to, are easily overlooked.

During his university days, Yang Yu had never paid attention to campus recruitment until his senior year, when he realized it existed.

After some struggle, he ultimately chose what he loves the most and became a single-player game streamer.

Yang Yu’s somewhat clumsy experiences in his early years won’t vanish like the wind into the historical stream but rather become knowledge he accumulates as he moves forward.

Due to missing some things in the past, Yang Yu greatly treasures the things he now possesses.

Moreover, in this world, he almost lost them once.

But due to this being his first romance, Yang Yu seemed inexperienced and had to rely on his impressions for many things.

Early the next morning, Bai Jin lay in bed with her blanket, at a loss for words, feeling everything from yesterday happened like a dream, and ended like one as well.

Yet, seeing Yang Yu dressed not far away, Bai Jin knew that everything from yesterday was indeed real.

It felt as though they did many things couples would do in just one day yesterday, like openly holding hands in front of everyone, gazing at stars together by the peaceful sea, and...and...

Recalling the events of yesterday made Bai Jin’s face flush red.

Yang Yu finished dressing while Bai Jin gradually got up from bed, dressed, and picked up the magic wand.

Perhaps due to a sense of panic, Yang Yu noticed Bai Jin’s long robe was crooked, and her hair was messy, so he lowered his head to help her straighten them.

Bai Jin also saw Yang Yu’s clothes were not neatly arranged and instinctively reached out to help him tidy up.

Upon finishing, they met each other’s gaze and smiled, nonchalantly heading to the inn’s counter to check out their room.

During the time Yang Yu and Bai Jin spent together, Luo Luosi had already arranged everything, not only securing a ship to Luo Ze Empire but also finding a ship to the Tren Republic for them.

The former was a regular passenger ship, while the latter was a lightweight cargo ship.

When Yang Yu and Bai Jin arrived late, everyone casually greeted them.

To avoid any awkwardness, Luo Luosi had spoken to the others before they arrived, instructing not to mention anything about Bai Jin and their relationship, or be overly curious about their events from last night. Those who understood understood, and if they upset Yang Yu and Bai Jin, they would bear the consequences.

As for how Luo Luosi intimidated the surrounding people, well, that’s a story for another time.

Luo Luosi sat on a shell, her hand supporting her face: ”You’ve seemed quite busy lately, so I’ve completed all your tasks yesterday.

We will take tonight’s passenger ship to Luo Ze Empire to deliver your token to the person you wish to give it to, and meanwhile send these young girls back.

As for you, a cargo ship will arrive soon; follow that and you’ll reach the Tren Republic in no time.

No need to spend money on new ships; you’d sell them upon arrival anyway.

I’ve already negotiated with the cargo ship’s owner; if you can protect the cargo, you won’t even need to pay for the fare.”

Yang Yu was beyond words in his gratitude to Luo Luosi: ”This journey has been a huge help, if we ever have anything more to deal with in the Ocean Duchy. I hope you can continue guiding us.”

”Depends on what you’re doing here; it always feels like no matter how many lives one has, they’re not enough when following you.” Luo Luosi said so, but her face displayed a welcoming smile with a gesture of ’if you pay, everything’s negotiable.’

Before long, a cargo-laden merchant ship slowly approached Yang Yu and his group, and a youth with human features on deck waved vigorously at Luo Luosi.

Luo Luosi also waved back to the youth, then looked at Yang Yu: ”That’s the cargo ship I called; hurry and prepare!”

”Yang Yu, it’s an honor to have had an adventure with you, looking forward to cooperating again.” Lingshan, as the representative of [Island Drifting], proactively approached Yang Yu to shake hands and say goodbye.

Seeing this, other powerful sea-dwelling species also stepped forward to bid farewell. They all had means to return upon arrival here; their visit here was mainly to bid Yang Yu farewell.
