"Let her in."
Lin Hao turned around, glanced at Poison Rose, then turned his head back to look at the ocean.
Most people on this ship were from Huaxia, but it wasn’t Lin Hao’s private vessel, so he wasn’t surprised to see Poison Rose onboard.
Only then did the Dragon Needle operatives step aside, still watching Poison Rose with wary and guarded eyes.
After all, she had the face of a Westerner, and those from Dragon Needle viewed any Westerner as if they were thieves.
"What are you here for?"
Lin Hao did not turn around, his voice devoid of emotional fluctuation, making Poison Rose’s heart tense up with an indescribable feeling.
"I... I’m no longer with the rcenary Corps, I..." Poison Rose bit her lip, looking at Lin Hao, took a deep breath as if mustering great courage: "I have important things I want to tell you."
"Oh?"
Lin Hao did indeed know that Poison Rose had severed ties with that rcenary Corps, but he couldn’t fathom why Poison Rose would seek him out.
"Can I talk to you alone?" Faced with Lin Hao’s indifferent tone and deanor, Poison Rose’s heart tightened, and she started to feel nervous.
After all, she was one of the experts in the rcenary World, and not even matters of great importance could normally make her feel this tense.
But Lin Hao was a special case.
They didn’t interact much, yet that feeling lingered in Poison Rose’s heart, unable to be shaken off.
Lin Hao’s words made it impossible for Poison Rose to argue; she feared that if she went against Lin Hao’s wishes, he would drive her away.
"It’s a conspiracy, they’re arranging a hunt to actually kill you!" Finally, Poison Rose mustered the courage to say to Lin Hao.
However, Lin Hao didn’t even turn his head, scoffing: "Actually, it’s an open conspiracy, of course I know they want to kill , it’s not sothing important."
"..."
Poison Rose looked at Lin Hao in astonishnt, utterly confused. She had co here, determined to stand on the sa side as Lin Hao. But now, Lin Hao’s tepid attitude towards her made her feel uncertain.
"You should leave. Being seen here with , the Westerners might label you a traitor, which isn’t good for you; they might even kill you for it."
Lin Hao still didn’t turn around, his voice as unemotional as ever.
Poison Rose’s heart sank.
Ever since Death Island, she had noticed Lin Hao’s indifference and even aloofness toward her; she always thought it was because she was a mber of the rcenary Corps. Now, Lin Hao was still the sa, even his attitude was worlds apart from when they first t.
Could it be because of the imminent war between the Eastern and Western worlds?
Poison Rose bit her lip, and for so reason, a sense of grievance welled up inside her. Tears began to swirl in the eyes of the internationally renowned rcenary.
Leave?
Certainly not!
Ever since her first eting with Lin Hao, Poison Rose couldn’t quite understand why it felt like her soul had been captivated by him. Now, she found herself thinking about Lin Hao every day.
Her being here was a choice she had made.
But Lin Hao’s indifference filled her with trendous frustration.
"I’ve abandoned my own clan..." Poison Rose bit her lip and suddenly raised her head, looking resolutely at Lin Hao’s retreating figure. "Of course, I’ve never really had a clan, the rcenary Corps is my family. Now, I have lost my family too. As for being a traitor from the Western lands or whatever, I don’t care!"
Poison Rose gazed at Lin Hao, then her eyes inadvertently fell on Ziyue standing by his side, and a wave of sourness rose in her heart.
Ziyue, with beauty akin to a Heavenly Immortal, extraordinary cultivation, and even the princess of the Atlantis clan! Even if Poison Rose lived for ten thousand years, even if she transford into a rmaid, she could never compare to her.
That’s right, Lin Hao has many won by his side, what am I in comparison?
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Poison Rose’s lips, yet she firmly kneeled down: "I, Poison Rose, am willing to follow my master forever. In life and death, unwavering until the end, I am willing to establish a Blood Covenant with my Lifebound Essence Blood!"
Poison Rose spoke with determination and sincerity. Lin Hao did not expect this woman to be so resolute, even ready to establish a Blood Covenant!
Although in his past life Poison Rose was his woman, this life hasn’t progressed to that step yet, and moreover, this life, Lin Hao does not plan to progress to that stage.
Right now, Lin Hao is surrounded by dangers, not to ntion the powerful forces from the Western lands, but also the adversaries from the Atlantis clan, the top existences from the Eternal Life Realm.
Lin Hao could say that every step is fraught with peril, and the people around him are even more so.
Looking at the Song Family and Mingyang Sect, Lin Hao did not wish to involve more people in this danger, to the point where he doesn’t even dare to face Lin Shiran and his parents.
He just didn’t expect Poison Rose to be so determined.
Turning around to see Poison Rose wanting to extract her Lifebound Essence Blood but not knowing how to proceed, kneeling anxiously on the ground, Lin Hao couldn’t help wanting to laugh.
This woman, only on her last visit to Atlantis did she learn that Ziyue had used Lifebound Essence Blood as a dium to establish a Blood Covenant with Lin Hao; she didn’t even know what Lifebound Essence Blood was.
"Alright, stand up, there’s no need for a Blood Covenant. If you want to follow , then just follow," Lin Hao reached out and gently assisted her, invisibly helping Poison Rose to stand up from ten steps away.
"Master, I have sothing important that I need to tell you." After standing up, Poison Rose looked around hesitantly.
Lin Hao was taken aback, not expecting Poison Rose to have anything else to say. He glanced around and then walked towards the cabin: "Let’s go, co to my room."
In Lin Hao’s room, now only Poison Rose and Ziyue remained.
"Speak, what’s the matter?" Lin Hao looked at Ziyue and smiled slightly: "Now, everyone here is one of us."
Poison Rose nodded, took out a USB drive from her bosom, then took out a tablet, saying to Lin Hao: "When I went back this ti, I accidentally discovered a piece of news. With this news, our people from the rcenary Corps have already gone to Resurrection Island."
As she spoke, Poison Rose opened the contents of the USB drive and a map appeared in front of Lin Hao.
"We discovered that Resurrection Island is not simple. On this island, there is a mysterious entrance. It’s almost as if once you enter it, you’re in another world, and moreover... inside there are endless treasures!"
Poison Rose zood in on the map. In fact, Lin Hao was already very familiar with this map, which didn’t differ much from the one Long Si had given him.
However, on a hidden spot on the map, Poison Rose pointed out a mark and seriously said: "There’s an entrance here. Once entered, it is as though one has arrived in another world. Currently, not many people know about this place. Whoever discovers this entrance keeps it a strict secret. Inside, there are boundless treasures."
"With such a vast area in such a place, wouldn’t it be impossible for not many people to find it? Why don’t our intelligence reports include this information?" Ziyue, on the side, showed a puzzled expression.
Poison Rose, however, was even more excited, lowering her voice and saying, "This place is very secretive, it might look small, but it’s actually a world of its own. To speak plainly, this is a Great Secret Realm! The entrance connects to another world; inside, the treasures are boundless."
