I was watching Yuri on Ice and hope there's BL on it. Obviously bu keneng de (impossible)..LOL..just my wishful thinking! I'm trying to finish up this chapter by this week but alas I was side-tracked by lots of updates by fellow translator. I really hope would not stop being translated cause I love the books. Anyway enjoy the update and thank you for your hard work Minak Amie.

Hearing He Di’srequest, Feng Ming felt a sense of wariness, and Rong Hu stared at the mandoubtfully. Both tried to figure out if anything suspicious was hidden withinhis words.
How could they haveknown about the series of events that occurred between He Di and Zi Yan?
Understanding hisPrince’s thoughts, Kong Liu unhurriedly added, “While fighting the pirates, ifone is lacking in manpower, the situation can become incredibly dangerous. IfDuke Ming has not heard of news regarding his subordinate after a such a longtime, there is a possibility he has encountered an unfortunate circumstance. Ifthis Zi Yan were to be assigned the role as emissary, our Prince canimmediately send an urgent letter to Dan Lin’s palace, ordering the navy tosearch the vicinity of our territory’s waters…”
Everyone presentconsidered his words seriously. None of them could think of any disadvantagesthat would come from stationing Zi Yan in Dan Lin as an envoy. Even though theyfelt reluctant, maintaining a friendly connection would give both sides plentyof benefits. Since they have to send someone over, why not him?
After thinking for awhile, Feng Ming finally agreed, “Alright, give me the pen.”
Rong Hu handed overthe pen and ink as someone spread out both copies of the peace treaty in frontof Feng Ming to sign.
“Duke Ming,” Kong Liusaid, “since we have come to an agreement, we should include the name of theemissary on the treaty. This way, our Prince can use the documentation toprovide a reason for issuing out an order to search and protect the specialenvoy.”
His words were reallytempting to Feng Ming, and provided him with a larger motivation to make Zi Yanthe envoy.
Although Rong Hustill felt a sense of unease, finding the whereabouts of the missing Zi Yanwould benefit their side more than Dan Lin. After all, the influence Dan Linhas over their territory’s waters was powerful. Wouldn’t it be good if Zi Yanwere protected under Dan Lin’s royalty? His position would give him a hundredtimes more influence than now.
With a seriousexpression, Feng Ming signed his name on both treaties. Since he didn’t carryhis seal around with him, he used the ink slab to create an imprint of histhumb on the document as a substitute.
Rong Hu kept onetreaty while the other went to Kong Liu.
After Kong Liureturned to his ship, He Di opened up the peace treaty and quickly wrote,
“The position of emissarywill be held by Zi Yan.”
Imagining that proudman falling into his hands and following him back to Dan Lin made the thingbetween his legs twitch. He threw his head back and began laughing merrily.
(ED note: Lol, he’s such a psycho.)( TN :Lol! Agreed!)
“Our peace treaty hasbeen completed! Thank you, Duke Ming.” He Di handed the document over to KongLiu for safe-keeping and cupped his hands towards Feng Ming before taking hisleave. “We are heading to the Tong Kingdom after this. Duke Ming and I may meeteach other again while there. In time, Duke Ming will understand how sincereDan Lin is.”
The ship’s flag wavedan order to depart. All of Dan Lin’s fleet broke formation and sped away.
Feng Ming was in adaze after signing the treaty. Standing on the deck, he watched as thesilhouettes of the ships withdrew, seemingly lost in thought.
Tonight’s strangeevents really makes a person feel perplexed. The bloody battle and the shipgetting destroyed piece by piece were unexpectedly followed by a peacefulsigning of a treaty.
Suddenly he rememberedsomething and quickly asked Rong Hu, “Where did you hide Chiu Lan and theothers?”
RH: “Young lorddoesn’t have to worry about those girls. Inside the cabin on the second floor,this subordinate had left several sword masters to protect them. Just now,during the confrontation, seeing that no enemies were near, I had orderedsomeone to take the girls safely ashore on a small boat.”
Feng Ming nodded,feeling relieved.
On board the ship, menwho were severely wounded could be seen all over the place.Going ashore would bebest for their safety.
Luo Deng had beenpaying attention to the direction Dan Lin’s fleet went. Seeing that they weretruly leaving, his mind felt at ease. Sweat could be seen all over his body ashe asked Feng Ming for further instructions.
“Young lord, we haveto dock as soon as possible. The ship cannot remain afloat for much longer.”
Luo Yun spoke up, “This Prince of Dan Lin is nota good character. In the future, we should pay him back for the wrong he hasdone us.”
