Chapter 1290: Fatherly Love
Editor: Atlas Studios
On the deserted island, the tides surged.
On the beach, a series of footprints meandered up into a forest.
There was a bonfire burning in an empty space in the forest.
There were two sea fish and a wild rabbit on the fire, and a few red wild fruits lay on the clean leaves at the side.
“It’s burnt!”
Princess Hui An looked at the fish on the fire.
“Got it!”
Su Li turned the wooden stick around. “I told you not to make the fire so big.”
Princess Hui An snorted. “Your culinary skills are bad, so it’s strange that you’re so angry! Hmph, when I go out with my sidekick, she always starts such a big fire to roast things to eat! Why haven’t I seen her burn anything?”
Su Li curled her lips. “If you have the ability, get your sidekick to roast it! Do you think she’ll do it?”
Princess Hui An exploded. “You still have the cheek to say that? If you hadn’t gone in the wrong direction, we would have arrived at Thousand Mountain Island long ago! Now, we’re back to this isolated island from the beginning and the ship is broken.”
At the mention of this, Su Li lost his confidence.
He touched his nose resentfully. “Our boat is so small that we can’t reach Thousand Mountain Island at all. If it’s really bad at sea, it would be impossible. At least we found an island for you.”
Princess Hui An looked at him coldly.
Su Li’s scalp went numb. “I know, I know. I’ll cut down trees tomorrow morning and continue to build the boat.”
Princess Hui An looked at him suspiciously. “Do you know how to build a boat or not?”
Su Li sneered. “Who are you looking down on? Our Su family is in the Navy!”
Princess Hui An placed her hands on her hips and said, “Then why haven’t you built it after ten days?!”
Su Li cleared his throat. “Can… can you blame me? A small boat can’t withstand the wind and waves. I want to build a bigger boat.”
Princess Hui An fell silent.
Su Li thought that he had finally convinced her, but when he looked at her face, he realized that her eyes were red.
Su Li panicked. “At most… I won’t make it that big. Give me a few more days, I’ll definitely build it!”
Princess Hui An looked at the dancing flames and said softly, “Su Li, do you think we’ll be trapped on this island for the rest of our lives? And no one will discover us until we die?”
Su Li said, “No, I’ll bring you to Thousand Mountains Island after I build the boat. If I can’t build it, I’ll never eat fish again!”
Crack!
The wooden stick in front of him was broken by the fire, and the grilled fish fell into the bonfire.

“I’ll go find the herb.”
Wei Xu said.
Wei Liulang immediately said, “Dad, I’ll go too!”
Wei Ting asked, “You don’t want your sons anymore?”
Wei Liulang said, “Don’t they still have you?”
The Palace Lord looked at the father and sons and said, “I’m not sure where this island is now. At the very least, we have to know the general direction.”
They turned to look at Ling Yun.
Ling Yun said calmly, “Why are you looking at me? I don’t know.”
With that, he stood up and left without looking back.
The Palace Lord clenched her fists. “This kid! Is he itching for a beating again?”
Wei Xu said softly, “I’ll persuade him.”
The two of them left the Flying Cloud Palace and came to the Full Moon Autumn garden.
Ling Yun said in a low voice, “You don’t have to look for the herb. I’m fine.”
Wei Xu looked at him gently. It was a kind father’s gaze.
“I hope you never have to use it, but you can’t not have it.”

In the City Lord’s Mansion, Xiahou Qing and the four elders sat in the meeting hall.
Elder Zhao said, “Including the three dragon crystals we brought back from Dragon Mountain, there’s only one left to open Emperor Wu’s tomb. However, I don’t know where this last dragon crystal is.”
Elder Lin asked, “Could it be in the hands of the other descendants of Emperor Wu?”
Xiahou Qing tapped his fingertips on the armrest and said nothing.
–
After everyone finished discussing at the Flying Cloud Palace, they returned to their rooms to rest.
Su Mo said, “Wei Ting, stay. I have something to tell you.”
Wei Ting refused without thinking. “We’ll talk about it another day. I have something on tonight.”
Su Mo asked, “What is it?”
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows and said, “Unspeakable things.”
Su Xiaoxiao kicked him under the table.
Wei Ting whispered in her ear, “You promised me. Why? Do you want to go back on your word?”
Su Xiaoxiao cleared her throat. “Shut up!”
Su Xuan looked at her meaningfully.
Su Xiaoxiao stood up without changing her expression. “It’s getting late. I’ll go back to my room first. You guys rest early too.”
Wei Ting followed her out.
Su Mo asked his brother in confusion, “What’s with them?”
Su Xuan smiled. “Brother, find me a sister-in-law and you’ll know what’s with them.”
As soon as she returned to her room, Su Xiaoxiao was blocked by Wei Ting. He grabbed her slender waist and kissed her lips fiercely.
Su Xiaoxiao was dizzy from the kiss and her legs went weak.
Wei Ting hugged her tightly and said bewitchingly after kissing her, “Did Madam misunderstand just now? Or is Madam even more anxious than I am?”
Granny Nie had instructed that it was best to sleep together in two months.
He had never thought of doing anything to hurt her at this moment.
But could she explain that the kick under the table really wasn’t a reminder?
Su Xiaoxiao admitted that she had misunderstood, but she admitted in her heart that it was fine, but not with her mouth.
“I accidentally kicked you.”
Wei Ting smiled. “Is that so? You were so anxious to come back. I thought you were going to fulfill your promise in advance.”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “You can do it in advance.”
Wei Ting’s blood surged. He hugged her and kissed her. He said in a hoarse voice, “You’re really not afraid that I won’t be able to control myself!”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked.
Wei Ting said, “You’re seducing me.”
“I’m not.”
Su Xiaoxiao reached into his lapel.
Wei Ting was speechless.
Wei Ting inserted the bolt and picked Su Xiaoxiao up. He strode to the bed and placed her domineeringly and gently on it.
Wuhu on the branch covered its head with its small wings.
It couldn’t look anymore. It couldn’t look anymore.
Its food salary would be docked if it continued to look!
… .
Su Xiaoxiao fell asleep in satisfaction.
Wei Ting was in trouble. He ran to take a cold bath for an hour.
–
The next day, Wei Xu began to prepare to go out to sea.
Ling Yun stood outside the Flying Cloud Palace and watched as Wei Xu brought Wei Ting, Wei Liulang, and Su Mo to modify the special box cage at sea. A complicated expression flashed across his eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao came to his side. “Dad said that it doesn’t matter even if he doesn’t know the exact direction. He’ll look east first. If he can’t find it, he’ll go north, south, and west. If a year doesn’t work, he would take two years. If two years don’t work, he would spend three or five years.”
“Is it worth it?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “In his heart, he has long treated you as his son, so it’s not about whether it’s worth it. As long as you’re still alive, as a father, he won’t hesitate.”
Ling Yun turned around and left.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Where are you going?”
“The City Lord’s Mansion.”
Su Xiaoxiao clapped her hands in satisfaction. “Done.”
Xing’er carried Wei Xiaobao over. “Miss, can Young Palace Lord find out where that island is? What if the City Lord doesn’t know?”
Su Xiaoxiao said firmly, “Xiahou Qing must know.”
