Chapter 313: Chapter 312: A Different Kind of Honeymoon

Qu Tong withdrew her hand, smiling, "Just to stroll around."

Previously, because Liang Ge had business dealings, Emperor Changxin would contact her from time to time, and she had never left Capital Star.

The Cangling Empire resembled Ancient Blue Star the most, with many of its scenic spots and historical sites modeled after it. Since she was already here, naturally, she wanted to take a look.

Si Yuting wanted to join, and Qu Tong didn’t stop him; she couldn’t have stopped him even if she tried.

On the contrary, with Si Yuting there, the journey became much easier as he always took very good care of himself.

In a month’s time, the two of them had visited many places together.

They walked through romantic ancient towns; it happened to rain that day, carrying an oil-paper umbrella as if they had traveled back through Ancient Blue Star’s historical corridor. At night, they just happened to encounter the season of releasing sky lanterns, where pavilions and towers were ablaze with lantern lights, as beautiful as a painting.

They climbed the Mortal Fairyland, witnessed odd shaped peaks and stones, felt the grandeur left by the transformation of oceans into mulberry fields, and enjoyed a sunrise, breathing in the freshest air of the morning, truly feeling the world was worthwhile.

After ascending three thousand steps, they imitated the pilgrims burning incense and bowing their heads at the temple, praying for joy in everything and a smooth future ahead. As for what Si Yuting wished for, she didn’t know, but he had looked at her after hanging the Wishing Plaque.

After seeing the verdant ancient ginkgo, Qu Tong no longer had the energy to descend the mountain.

In the end, they took the sightseeing cable car down; Qu Tong was drowsy and her head lay against Si Yuting’s shoulder.

Si Yuting didn’t feel tired but instead, there was a hidden joy in his heart.

This was also a kind of honeymoon in another sense.

Except for not letting him sleep in her room, when she was tired, she would let him carry her, when she was sleepy, she would lean on him to sleep, and during crowded times, he could hold her hand too.

He also vaguely realized that Ali had come to the Cangling Empire for a reason, but perhaps the time had not yet come.

Si Yuting couldn’t help but gently stroke Qu Tong’s seaweed-like hair, thinking tenderly, "Ali, can you stop being angry now?"

"Mm."

In fact, she hadn’t been angry for a long time.

Si Yuting’s eyes suddenly brightened, "Then can we..."

Qu Tong suddenly raised her head from Si Yuting’s shoulder, looking at him, "Your Highness, do you really like me?"

"Why would you ask that?" Si Yuting frowned.

"I’ve always felt that Your Highness is so calm that you’re not like normal people, too aloof to fall in love with any mortal," Qu Tong joked half seriously.

Si Yuting’s chest tightened and after a moment of contemplation, his deep black eyes stared at Qu Tong, "No, I like Ali very much, and I don’t want to divorce you. It was my fault before."

He had always known clearly that he liked her, feelings that could not be concealed, hence the birth of his unrestrained, fierce possessiveness, and after calm consideration, he still wanted to selfishly possess her.

Every decision he made was well thought out, and he never regretted them, except for the matter of suggesting divorce.

Si Yuting tentatively reached out and encircled Qu Tong’s waist, "Ali said once that I was brought up quite strictly."

Si Yuting spoke subtly, but Qu Tong understood the implication.

It probably meant he wouldn’t like being physically intimate with her.

Qu Tong’s ears grew hot.

Damn!

She still had no resistance to Si Yuting at all.

At that moment, the cable car arrived.

Qu Tong raised her eyebrows, signaling Si Yuting to let go.

Si Yuting released her, instead taking Qu Tong’s hand and enveloping it entirely in his palm.

Qu Tong didn’t refuse and followed Si Yuting out of the cable car.

"Does Your Highness know how to pilot a yacht?" Qu Tong asked, turning her head.

"I do."

"Your Highness, you are quite skilled," Qu Tong sincerely praised.

"Mechanical principles often have similarities," Si Yuting replied with a light smile, unfazed by praise or criticism.

The final destination of the plan was to check in at a small island in the Dawn Galaxy acclaimed as a paradise.

After a good rest, Qu Tong and Si Yuting set out together.

Disliking to share a yacht with strangers and not lacking in funds, they rented one just for themselves.

The inner ring of the Dawn Galaxy was too chaotic with energy to enter, but the planets in the outer ring were unaffected.

Qinhai Star is a natural tourist planet composed of 80% seawater and 20% islands.

Si Yuting, not short of Energy Stones, set the destination on a distant island rumored to have even more beautiful scenery.

The yacht sped through half a day’s time.

Qu Tong and the others had left most of the yacht convoy behind, heading alone towards a black dot where sky and water met.

Not only does Qinhai Star have enchanting island scenery, but the image of the emerald sea against the blue sky is also unparalleled, along with the various vivid and colorful coral reefs.

Thanks to the current mechanical equipment being set to autopilot, Si Yuting only needed to preset the route, and the yacht’s radar would avoid the reefs naturally.

Even Qu Tong, under Si Yuting’s meticulous instruction, could operate some of the controls simply.

Qu Tong was leaning on the yacht’s railing, using his binoculars to enjoy the beautiful view, when the boat suddenly lurched.

"Be careful!" Si Yuting, who just happened to be behind Qu Tong, caught him as he leaned back.

"Such big waves?" Qu Tong steadied himself and exclaimed.

Drawing on years of experience, Si Yuting sensed something unusual and took the binoculars from Qu Tong to observe.

Si Yuting looked around, then observed the sky, his expression growing serious.

"We need to speed up, the tides might be coming."

"Isn’t it supposed to be at the end of the month?" Qu Tong was also startled.

She had made a point of paying attention to the Astronomical Bureau’s announcements; the predicted tidal fluctuations were supposed to be a week away still.

"Let’s go back inside the cabin, where it’s safer. The scenery can wait until we are heading back," Si Yuting said, pulling Qu Tong by the hand back to the cockpit without further discussion.

Si Yuting personally took the wheel, pushing the speed to the limit.

Qu Tong understood the severity of the situation and sat quietly beside him, not disturbing Si Yuting.

They were surrounded by sea, with the island ahead being the closest and only point of landfall.

In her mind, Qu Tong was already considering the worst-case scenario.

On the open sea, both her Special Ability and Si Yuting’s Special Ability were not particularly effective.

As the yacht drew closer to the island, the ocean’s waves grew more and more pronounced, and the yacht’s speed was impacted, nearly being redirected by the waves several times, but Si Yuting’s quick reflexes kept the steering steady.

Qu Tong was not idle either, monitoring the surroundings through the split-screen to assist Si Yuting.

However, she noticed towering waves surging to their left.

"Your Highness, there are huge waves to the left."

"Not good, there are reefs to the right front!" Just as Qu Tong finished speaking, she spotted danger ahead as well.

The situation was extremely urgent; no matter what choice they made, the yacht was likely to capsize.

Si Yuting’s eyes darkened, and he decisively abandoned the controls, unfastened his seatbelt, and swept Qu Tong into his arms.

"Whoosh!"

A gigantic wave crashed over them, flipping the yacht entirely with a massive roar, deafening. Inside, Si Yuting and Qu Tong were thrown harshly against the cabin wall due to inertia, but thankfully, Si Yuting had added a Spirit Power Barrier, and Qu Tong promptly used vines to cushion Si Yuting.
