Chapter 231 The couple is just right

The interior of the carriage was luxuriously decorated, with even the window trims gleaming in gold, exuding the taste of nouveau riche from the sea clan.

The remnants of the previous meal and spilled soup and wine had been quickly cleared away, replaced with clean seat covers, exquisite dishes, and fine wine.

With 'Madam' present, Lakfu and Hagen were quite considerate and did not follow, choosing instead another smaller carriage within the caravan. Old Wang and Karida only heard the bustling sounds of preparation outside.

"Let's go!" someone shouted, and the carriage began to move as the entire caravan set off, slowly advancing.

At this moment, Karida was still weak, but leaning against the comfortable goose-down cushion, she managed to sit up on her own.

She rested her head against the window and reached out to lift the curtain slightly, observing the dark forest on both sides. However, she could not muster any soul power and sensed nothing, so she reluctantly let the curtain fall back and turned her gaze to Wang Feng.

To be honest, the fact that this guy was willing to risk his life to save her truly surprised Karida. In her memory, he was a coward who feared death more than anything else.

"Eat!" Old Wang, who had been busy all night, was also hungry. The small dishes prepared by the sea clan were all delicious, and he naturally did not rest, smiling broadly as he urged, "Brother Da, you should eat too. Eat more; your body is weak, and you need to replenish your energy!"

Karida, however, felt no appetite. Not to mention soul power, the soreness throughout her body had yet to subside.

She had already conducted a thorough self-examination. The timing of breaking the nightmare spell was not too late, and after a brief paralysis, her soul had gradually recovered. It seemed that the damage to her essence was not severe, and she might recover in a few days, which was a stroke of luck in an unfortunate situation.

However, the aftermath of the nightmare spell was evident. Being forcibly pulled out of her body, although now returned, her soul and physical body would be mismatched for some time. For several days, she would likely be unable to use her soul power, or it would exacerbate the condition, making it harder for her essence to heal.

What needed to be done now was to rest and recuperate. It was fortunate that Wang Feng had found such a large sea clan caravan in these mountains, with a few capable mercenaries. Most importantly, no one would expect them to be hiding inside.

For some reason, ever since Wang Feng carried her onto the wolf king, Karida had felt relaxed, watching with interest the man who was devouring his food: "How did you get the sea clan to listen to you?"

"Charming!" Old Wang answered without hesitation, his mouth still full of a succulent chicken wing, greasy oil dripping down his chin. After a night of hard work, his stomach had been growling, and this instant satisfaction was immense: "This is a charm that even the sea clan cannot resist!"

"It's because of Clara, right?" Karida suddenly interjected.

Old Wang rolled his eyes; it was just like Brother Da to see through things without saying a word, always pointing out the obvious.

"How did you know?" Wang Feng shrugged indifferently, a true man, unperturbed, even if he were caught in bed with Clara one day, he would still consider himself innocent.

Karida smiled but didn't continue on the topic. Instead, she picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a sip, the alcohol helping her slightly ease the numbness in her body.

"Why don't we say we're master and apprentice?"

It seems Brother Da is a bit sensitive about the term 'couple.'

Old Wang, undaunted, said with righteous indignation, "Brother Da, look at how we were hugging and cuddling. It would be weird to call us master and apprentice. Besides, we're on the run now. Safety first, of course. A man and a woman traveling together, being a couple is just right!"

Karida looked at him with a half-smile, "But I'm much older than you."

What does 'much older' mean? That my chest is bigger than yours? 97 Chinese

Brother Da's figure is really good, not just good, but like a ripe peach, infinitely charming!

Old Wang couldn't help feeling a bit unconvinced. After all, he was a thirty-year-old man at heart and hadn't thought about this issue from the beginning.

Wang Feng grinned, "Brother Da, there's an old saying back home: a woman three years older brings gold bricks, a woman twelve years older brings the empire! Marrying someone twelve years older is great; it saves you at least twenty years of hard work. This is something many people envy but can't achieve..."

"Smooth talker." Karida laughed, "Now I understand why those young girls in Rose keep following you around."

"Rumors stop with the wise!" Old Wang said with a look of purity, "I, Wang Feng, walk straight and sit upright. Although those young girls have improper thoughts about me, I am like flowing water, indifferent. My heart will never waver! In life, I am yours, Brother Da; in death, I am your ghost..."

"Alright, alright!" Karida was almost amused and exasperated. This phrase had almost become his catchphrase. Hearing it occasionally was fine, but every time made it seem like he had some deeper meaning, which sounded strange.

However, she owed her escape to him this time. She never imagined that a momentary impulse in the dungeon would save her life.

"Wang Feng, when you were in the Ice Spirit Kingdom, you claimed to be my junior disciple. Though it was just a temporary jest, now this news has probably spread throughout every corner of the League of Blades with the ice bees' attack on the city. Moreover, you're too lazy; the more famous you become, the more dangerous it actually is. The Nine Gods won't let you off. When true experts come, you'll have to rely on yourself. Do you want me to teach you swordsmanship?"

Old Wang's mouth opened slightly, and the chicken wing in his hand fell onto the table. He was still trying to take advantage of him indirectly. Old Wang didn't mind being a master and disciple together; a master-disciple romance sounded exciting. But the problem was that the Holy Sanctuary wouldn't accept it, nor would the League of Blades. This would only cause trouble for himself.

"No way! Brother Karida, I can't endure hardship. I don't want to practice swordsmanship, and I don't want to strive. I want to lie around. Life and death are fated, and wealth and honor are heaven-sent. Besides, even if I start practicing now, it's too late. Anyway, I'm sticking with you. Don't you dare abandon me!"

Wang Feng looked at Karida with a piteous expression, his eyes wide and pleading.

Karida looked at Wang Feng, not knowing what to say. She then turned quietly to look out the window, saying nothing, lost in thought.

"Brother Karida? Brother Karida?"

Wang Feng called out tentatively a couple of times, but Karida pretended not to hear.

"Brother Karida, don't be angry. I'll work hard..."

Outside, Rackford, Hagen, Shark, Tyron, and others all smiled knowingly.

Who would have thought, Lord Wang Feng is also a henpecked husband... Earlier, everyone was so busy flattering Lord Wang Feng that they neglected this sister-in-law. It seems the focus needs to shift a bit in the future. Winning over the lady will mean winning over the lord!

But there's something strange about this lady's name.

Brother Karida? Who names someone like that?

"It should be Karida, right?" Rackford said doubtfully.

"It's 'Da'!" Hagen affirmed.

Karida, now that sounds more like a woman's name. Lady Karida's singing must be exceptional, but given her status, we might never have the privilege to hear it.
