Chapter 231 Farewell and Set Sail

“Mom, wake up…”

“dad……”

“woo woo woo woo……”

The air is very quiet.

The only sound left was Lena’s crying.

Everyone waited silently beside the corpse, staring at Lena’s twitching back with sighs in their eyes.

Xia He lit a homemade cigarette and put it in his mouth.

However, just before he could take a sip, Minian came forward and snatched it away.

“Children are not allowed to smoke,” she said.

“This is the last time. You can’t control me from now on.” Xia He replied indifferently.

“Anyway, if I see it, I will definitely take care of it.” Minian said stubbornly.

After saying this, for some reason, her eyes began to turn red.

“Will you come back in the future?”

“If I could come back, I would definitely come back.”

“Don’t say if. I want you to promise.”

“I’m sorry, but I never make a promise to someone that I’m not sure of.”

Without any intention of saying a few words to calm Minnie Ann down, Xia He put the lighter back into his pocket and walked home while coughing.

Minnian was left alone, looking at his thin and small figure, which was reflected on the ground and was stretched out in the setting sun.

……

“dinner time.”

Half an hour later.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes on the table, Xia He was the first to pick up the chopsticks and put a bite into his mouth.

“Baji, baji, baji~~”

“How does it taste?” Millie asked.

“Well, it’s delicious, better than what I cook.” Xia He nodded and answered incoherently.

“No way.”

Millie laughed when she heard that.

At the same time, looking at Xia He’s “hard working” appearance, he stretched out his hand with loving eyes and gently stroked Xia He’s head.

While Xia He was being caressed, he suddenly recalled his mother in his previous life – Sakano Haruna.

In his previous life, when he had just turned 200 years old, Sakuno Haruna and Sakuno Ikki had already died one after another and both went to paradise.

Xia He buried them in the private cemetery that he purchased at great expense, and also moved Rouwan’s grave there.

Afterwards, he dug a grave for himself next to the two of them.

It was not until more than thirty years later that he was put into the coffin that had been prepared long ago by his descendants.

There is no doubt that.

During those thirty years, although he had children and grandchildren around him and lived with them until they grew old, he still felt an indescribable “loneliness” after his parents passed away.

“Thank you for taking care of me during this time.”

So, Xia He put down his chopsticks and gave Mili and Casili a big hug.

“If there is a chance, I will come back and let you enjoy your old age.”

……

After eating and drinking enough, the injuries on the body were quickly recovered under the effect of the [Sit-up Physique].

Xia He carried the luggage he had packed from the house, wrapped himself in the red scarf knitted for him by Aunt Millie, and held two miniature swords in his hands. As Pat and others watched, he walked straight to the dock without looking back.

Maybe it’s because I’ve already gotten used to separation.

Xia He did not show even a trace of sadness.

He walked up the stairs on the pirate ship to the deck, then took out a cigarette from his arms, put it in his lips and lit it.

“Hiss~~Hoo!”

Diamanti: “?” “What’s wrong? Why are you still standing there? Go sail the boat.” Xia He glanced at him and said.

Diamanti: “.”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a kid your age smoking.”

“Haha, now you’ve learned something new, right?” Xia He replied with a sneer.

Diamanti didn’t say much when he saw this. He first walked over to collect the ropes, then lowered the sails, and slowly sailed the boat out of the port.

“Your injuries…are healed now?” While steering the boat, Diamanti glanced at Xia He out of the corner of his eye and then asked.

“Yeah, it’s just a minor injury. It won’t do anything to me.”

“Really? What an interesting kid.”

The corners of Diamanti’s mouth rose again.

Is even his physique so amazing?

If this kid could really be used by Dover…

He began to fantasize in his mind.

After a while.

Roccadilli Island disappeared below the horizon.

Xia He then stood up and walked towards the cabin and asked, “Where is my room?”

“As long as it’s vacant, you can choose any one.” Diamanti replied with a smile: “After all, all the people I brought with me are dead.”

Xia He: “.”

“Oh.”

He nodded and went down into the cabin.

Then he pushed open the doors of each room one by one until he found a relatively clean room with no peculiar smell. He then threw his luggage and sword to the ground, fell on the bed, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

It is naturally impossible to fall asleep.

The original plan has been disrupted, and he now needs to re-plan his future and take a long-term view.

“I will work my way up to a senior position in the Donquixote family, and then after Doflamingo ‘takes over’ the Dressrosa Kingdom, I will use that country as the center to vigorously develop business in the New World…”

This seems to be a good choice, right?
It has to be said that as one of the most successful businessmen in the world, even after traveling to the world of pirates, he still had a desire to start a business.

As for the life and death of the people of Dressrosa…

What does it have to do with Xia He?

He can’t even protect himself now.

As long as the safety of the villagers in Xiaoquan Village is guaranteed, it is already good enough to be able to survive. Xia He will not be a so-called goody-goody who runs to interfere and put his own life in danger.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Xia He felt that the ship had slowed down significantly. He knew without guessing that Diamante was probably a little sleepy, so he folded the sails and ran back to the cabin to sleep.

as predicted.

There were footsteps outside the door.

Then came the sound of the door being pushed open.

About a minute later.

After pushing more than twenty doors, Diamante finally found Xia He’s room and reminded him, “I’m going to sleep now. If anything happens, you can wake me up. Also, don’t think about running away, if you don’t want to see the village on the island razed to the ground the next day…”

After saying that, he closed the door.

Then he suddenly thought of something and added, “Oh, by the way, if you want to assassinate me while I’m sleeping, you can try it. I’m looking forward to it.”

Xia He: “?”

Assassination?

That’s a good suggestion.

After hearing this, Xia He began to think seriously in his heart.

After a while, when Diamante’s footsteps disappeared in the corridor, Xia He put the sword he picked up back on the ground.

It was only because a prompt voice message indicating that the task was completed suddenly rang in his mind.
