Chapter 1016 - 371: Chu Kuanglan Falling in Love, Building a City Beyond the Great Wall!? (3)

He didn’t hold back, admitting openly, "Nonsense, I’ve been thinking about it for two months. Before leaving, I guaranteed by patting my chest that when I come back, I’ll... cough!"

He abruptly stopped mid-sentence, realizing he almost slipped, and quickly coughed twice to cover it up.

But the anticipation and eagerness in his eyes almost overflowed.

It was something he couldn’t hide.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Su Wanqing covered her mouth with a chuckle, her eyes twinkling.

"Didn’t expect it, our big tough man Chu also has his moments of romance. These two months, did you stay in touch with the little flower girl?"

Hearing this, Chu Kuanglan’s face flashed with a trace of subtle embarrassment. He scratched his head and laughed, "Of course I kept in touch, it’s just that there were too many things in the gang, fighting and all every day. Even finding time to send a message to say I’m safe was already good enough."

He paused, and that silly but gentle smile reappeared on his face, his voice softened a bit.

"But she’s very understanding, never bothers me, never asks too many questions, just tells me to stay safe and come back in one piece."

Everyone watching his tough yet tender demeanor couldn’t help but shake their heads and smile.

This no longer seemed like the fierce guy who roared and charged in the sea of corpses and blood, making even ghosts of life tremble.

He clearly was a young lad deeply in love.

But no one said anything, choosing not to dampen Chu Kuanglan’s spirits.

As the playful conversation continued, the port that was vaguely visible now came into full view.

The Ark of Hope slowly docked at the port.

Most of the people boarding the ship were from the Cyan Dragon Gang.

So, Fang Qingyu decided to let others disembark first, and their Cyan Dragon Gang would wait until everyone else was off before disembarking slowly.

After all, there was a lot of luggage. This time, except for what couldn’t be sold, everything else of value was practically brought aboard.

Thanks to Wei Banmeng and Liu San being frugal enough.

They said now that they are a major force, every penny must be accounted for, no waste allowed.

...

On another side of the port.

Hua Jing along with Qian Ge and a few others were standing at the pickup spot, continuously tiptoeing to look out for those disembarking.

Yet, they still hadn’t seen that familiar figure.

Behind them, Qian Ge was holding up a sign high, which read, Chu Kuanglan in big characters.

Ensuring that upon disembarking, it would be seen immediately.

However, as more than ten minutes passed, that familiar person still hadn’t come down.

Qian Ge couldn’t help but say, "Why aren’t they here yet? They said it was this ship."

Hua Jing felt her heart sink, taking out her phone, wanting to send a message to Chu Kuanglan.

However, just then, someone nearby suddenly shouted, "They’re here, they’re here."

Hearing this, everyone looked up.

They saw people in Cyan Dragon Gang’s standard uniform begin to carry things down from the ship.

Seeing this, someone said, "Look, those are people from Cyan Dragon Gang. I heard Fang Qingyu brought a lot of people back from City of Injustice this time."

Listening to this, Hua Jing’s eyes lit up again, beginning to look forward too.

Soon, a rough voice commanding from the ship caught Hua Jing’s attention.

"Hey, hey, hey, be careful, be careful, that box is Life Ghost material, very fragile, don’t break it."

When Hua Jing heard the voice and looked over.

Seeing the person speaking.

A smile began to uncontrollably curl at her mouth.

On the ship, Wei Banmeng and others were directing the unloading of supplies.

While Fang Qingyu stood on the deck watching.

However, at that moment, Jiang Wei suddenly tugged on Fang Qingyu’s sleeve.

"Look over there."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu curiously looked over to where Jiang Wei was pointing.

Immediately, he saw a sign with Chu Kuanglan written on it.

In front of the sign, stood a young, pretty girl.

Fang Qingyu’s eyes immediately lit up with a smile, then he walked over to Chu Kuanglan, who was directing, and said, "Old Chu, stop for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Chu Kuanglan turned around in a daze.

He wiped his sweat and said, "What’s up, Qingzi?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Qingyu looked at him and slightly furrowed his brows.

Casually raising his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread.

A tiny pinpoint of starlight gathered at his fingertips.

Then transformed into a small cluster of gentle yet radiant starlight.

Lightly floating towards Chu Kuanglan.

Chu Kuanglan naturally trusted Fang Qingyu 100%, didn’t even blink, let alone dodge.

As the cluster of starlight touched his body, it silently spread like warm water, immediately covering his entire body.

Wherever the starlight touched, the dust, sweat stains, and ice flakes on his combat uniform instantly disappeared without a trace.

Even the fabric creases hardened by the cold wind were smoothed out, becoming crisp.

His hair, tousled by the wind.

Also looked as if it had been combed by an invisible comb, each strand revitalized.

"Uh?"

Chu Kuanglan hadn’t yet figured out what this grooming was all about.

He just felt refreshed all over.

Fang Qingyu had already stepped to his side, a hand on his sturdy shoulder, gently pushing without allowing for any refusal.

A vast but extremely gentle force came.

Chu Kuanglan’s tower-like body involuntarily stumbled a few steps forward.

He stepped directly onto the gangway leading to the deck below.

"Hey?! Qingzi! I haven’t taken my stuff yet."

Chu Kuanglan turned his head, bewildered.

"Today and tomorrow, you’re off."

Fang Qingyu stood above, a subtle smile on his lips, his voice clearly reaching his ears.

"Below, someone’s looking for you."

Looking for me?

Who?

Chu Kuanglan, full of questions, subconsciously descended the gangway.

Curiously looking at the crowd.

But soon, the joy of having days off replaced the confusion.

In the next two days... I’ll go find the little flower girl first.
