Chapter 410 – Stirring Suo Jia’s Feelings Pt. 1

Miya could only stare at Suo Jia blankly for a moment. Then, she shook her head with a bitter smile. This was not her first time coming to the third checkpoint, so she also knew the legends of the ghost ships. However, she had never imagined Suo Jia to believe her to be a spirit of a ghost ship!

Miya weakly spoke, “I know that I can’t make you believe that I’m not a spirit. If you refuse to believe me, then just kill me. According to the legends, eliminating the obstructions of the heart will cause the spirit to disperse and scatter!”

“What?!” Suo Jia gazed at Miya with an expression of misery and couldn’t help but cry out, “That’s impossible. No matter what, I could never do anything to you, even if you were just an illusion from a spirit!”

Suo Jia seemed conflicted for a long time. Then, he suddenly strode forward and picked up the woman in front of him as he declared in a low voice, “Whatever, I don’t care if you might be a ghost. As long as there’s even a 1% chance that you could be the real Miya, I cannot just abandon you!”

As he spoke, Suo Jia leaped out the door with Miya in his arms. His feet lightly tapped against the deck and his body soared upwards, descending back in the direction of the flagship.

Whoosh… Right as Suo Jia’s feet landed on the flagship, the tiny ship on the other side suddenly split into countless pieces of shrapnel with a clear crack. The remains floated on the ocean waters.

“Sigh…” Miya let out a muffled sigh as she tightly hugged onto Suo Jia’s arms. She owed Suo Jia her life once again this time. If Suo Jia had not discovered her at the last minute, she would definitely be sinking to the bottom of the sea like the rest of the rubble in the ship.

Since both Xiang Yun and Roger were gone, Nicole was on patrol when they returned. As a result…nobody questioned Suo Jia despite the fact that he had brought back a woman.

With the woman in his arms, Suo Jia commanded for the kitchen to prepare a large bowl of plain porridge and brought it over personally. Using a silver spoon, he slowly fed Mia bite after bite.

Miya could not keep herself from blushing in embarrassment when she saw Suo Jia’s infatuated and warm expression that focused solely on her. However…having gone three weeks without food by now, she was beyond starving, and could not resist the temptation of food.

After a long while when the large bowl had more or less been finished and the food had filled her stomach, Miya finally felt strength restore in her body. With some effort she managed to sit up after recovering a great amount. Besides…she was a warrior, which meant that her ability to control her body was pretty much a hundred times better than that of an average person!

Suo Jia stared at Miya, who was currently sitting up on his bed. Her extremely charming face sent wave after wave of excitement through him, especially with her unimaginably beautiful figure, and her special scent that he could smell. For a moment, Suo Jia could not control himself from his heart fluttering!

He recalled the pain he had felt when he had been bitterly pining for Miya in the past, and then came to a decision. After a while, Suo Jia clenched his jaw and loudly declared, “Although I do not even know your name…would you please become my girlfriend anyways?”

“Huh?” Miya was stunned for a second. She stretched out a hand to lovingly rub Suo Jia’s face as she asked, “What? You don’t believe I’m a spiritual illusion anymore?”

Suo Jia shook his head in embarrassment and said, “I was mistaken earlier. Although I don’t know why, I’m certain that you are you. If you were a spiritual illusion, there’s no way you’d be able to eat porridge!”

Suo Jia then urgently pleaded once more, “Anyways, be my girlfriend. I really like you. Ever since we first met, I’ve been constantly thinking about you all this time. Because of you, I nearly led my group to destruction! So…”

“Huh?” Miya stared at Suo Jia suspiciously. After some thought, she asked in a serious voice, “Be your girlfriend? But I don’t understand, what is it about me that you like?”

“That’s…” Suo Jia smiled wryly as he scratched his head and confidently answered, “I like your face, I like your figure, I like the scent you have, I like your smile and your frown…In short, I can’t really describe it well.”

Miya touched her cheeks in doubt and was puzzled as she spoke in a confused tone, “Am I pretty?”

Suo Jia firmly answered Miya’s question. “Pretty! Of course you’re pretty. I can say that I am absolutely certain there is nobody more beautiful than you in this world. Don’t tell me…that nobody has ever told you that before?”

Miya continued to blankly touch her face as she shook her head. After all…since she first started learning martial arts at the age of five, she had always covered her face with a green cloth. If it were not for her fear of Suo Jia recognizing her, she would never have appeared with her original face. Of course, if nobody had ever seen her face before, how could they have called her beautiful?

Suo Jia felt pain stab his heart when he saw Miya’s suspecting gaze. This girl was adorable, pretty, and born with such beauty that was practically perfection, yet not a single person had ever praised her. To a certain extent, this could be said to be a great shame!

Miya hesitantly studied Suo Jia. She really wanted to agree to his request. Although she had never considered this kind of question before, she was starting to think that being his girlfriend wouldn’t be a bad idea. At the very least, she did not feel any dislike towards the thought of being together with him!

Miya was no longer a little girl. She was already 26 years old now, at the age when a woman felt most empty and most longed for a partner. This was also a woman’s most captivating and alluring age. And she was at the point where clouds reminded her of clothes, while flowers had her thinking of her face. How could she not think [of a partner]?

In spite of all this, a partner was not a matter that one could arbitrarily decide on. It wasn’t that Miya had never searched over the past years, but she had never found one that caught her eye aside from Suo Jia. Aside from him, all other men were no different from ants in her opinion – she could kill them easily!

However, Miya also knew very well that if the affection was based merely on her face and body, the relationship would be doomed to end soon enough. A face would always age, a figure would eventually lose its shape. Once that point was reached and all was lost, by what means could such a relationship be maintained?

Miya nodded and bit her lip as she said bashfully, “If that is all, you should be well aware that I have no ability to resist against you right here, right now. Even if you wanted to make me yours right now, I don’t have the strength to refuse. Isn’t that so?”

“What!” Suo Jia stood up angrily and roared, “What kind of person do you think I am? Although I won’t deny that I long to obtain you, to make you mine even in my dreams…but if that were all, my heart would not be content. Those are not what I want!”

A keen understanding flashed in Miya’s eyes as she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Are my face and my body not what you like? You don’t want to take me? If so, you can instantly turn all your desires into reality right now. I wouldn’t and couldn’t be able to refuse.”

“I! You…” Suo Jia could not help but start pacing back and forth fretfully. He really wanted to explain, yet could not find the appropriate words. This was not something that could be described verbally.

Anticipation bloomed in Miya’s heart when she saw Suo Jia’s impatience. If Suo Jia justified himself in a way that met her expectations, Miya would definitely be perfectly willing to do anything, even if it meant immediately giving everything to him. After all…a 26-years old woman could not stay as reserved as a lady. Once she obtained her objective, she would be willing to directly reach out to grasp it firmly, holding it steadily without room for escape.

After a long while, Suo Jia finally stopped pacing. He abruptly turned his head around to resolutely declare, “I don’t deny that your face and your body are dangerously attractive. But those alone wouldn’t be enough to move my heart!”

Suo Jia bitterly scratched his head as he continued, “I don’t know how to say it. Anyways…your body and flesh don’t represent you. In my eyes, your thoughts, soul, and heart are what make up the real you, which is all I truly want!”
