Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 286

Sure enough, it wasn't until the train was about to arrive at the South Station and the announcement began reminding passengers to prepare to disembark that the mother and son, accompanied by the railway police, dejectedly returned.

The fat woman's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying; her arrogance had vanished, replaced by exhaustion and embarrassment. The little boy was also much quieter, clutching his mother's clothes tightly and looking around timidly.

The train police found Lin Yue and told her the verification results in front of her: "After verification, this woman and the child are indeed mother and son, and their identity information is correct. However, the woman misbehaved her child in a public place, verbally abused others, and disrupted public order, which is a rather serious offense. We have given her a serious reprimand and education, and registered the relevant information."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft; those around him could hear it, and a few ambiguous sighs rose from the surroundings.

Although they weren't human traffickers, the outcome clearly didn't make things easy for the woman. Registering her information meant she might have a negative record, and she'd completely lost face.

The fat woman lowered her head even further, grabbed her son, and practically fled as she was the first to get off the train after it came to a stop. She almost forgot her luggage, and it was only after the train attendant reminded her from behind.

Lin Yue and Yun Yi also got off the bus with the crowd. Yun Yi let out a long sigh of relief, feeling refreshed: "Phew! That felt great! So satisfying! Look at that old woman's cowardly behavior at the end, it was so cathartic!"

Lin Yue's mood did indeed lighten considerably. Looking at the faint outline of the wetland park in the distance, she smiled slightly: "Let's go, don't let trashy people ruin our mood."

"okay!"

The high-speed rail incident was like a gust of wind. Stepping out of Z City South Station, the moist and fresh air rushed towards me, carrying a hint of moisture and the scent of grass.

"Wow! The air feels different!" Yun Yi took a deep breath and stretched, full of energy.

The wetland park is not far from the South Railway Station; it only takes about ten minutes by taxi.

It was a weekend afternoon, and there were quite a few visitors at the park entrance, but compared to the hustle and bustle of the city center, it felt spacious and peaceful.

The endless reed beds sway in the breeze, dotted with shimmering lakes, where waterbirds skim low across the surface, leaving behind sparkling ripples.

"Wow! There's a huge beach over there!" Yun Yi exclaimed excitedly, pointing to an area deep in the park near a large lake.

Sure enough, an artificial golden beach stretched out along the lake shore, shimmering with sunlight. Numerous parasols and deck chairs were set up on the beach, and people were everywhere.

The two bought tickets and entered the park, walking along the wooden boardwalk towards the beach area. The closer they got, the more noticeable the damp coolness brought by the lake breeze became, and the more they could feel the leisurely atmosphere by the water in summer.

The beach was indeed bustling with activity, with many people drawn by this "beach in the city." When Yunyi reached the edge of the sand, his eyes were immediately overwhelmed by the sights.

On the beach, men and women in colorful swimwear were either lying or sitting, or frolicking in the shallow water. Some young girls, in particular, were boldly wearing stylish, minimally woven bikinis.

Healthy tanned skin, long legs, graceful curves... all strikingly beautiful against the backdrop of sunlight and lake water.

"Hiss..." Yun Yi subconsciously took a breath, his steps slowed down, his gaze uncontrollably followed several beautiful figures, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

The boy's true nature was laid bare at this moment, a mixture of novelty, shyness, and a touch of instinctive appreciation.

Lin Yue glanced at him in the direction of his gaze, then quickly looked away. Her face remained expressionless, but she hesitated inwardly. Should she change into her swimsuit and go swimming in the lake?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Lin Yue immediately dismissed it. Even if she did have a swimsuit… how could she expose herself to so many people wearing something that was practically underwear?

Just imagining that scene made Lin Yue feel a rush of heat to her head, and her toes were so embarrassed they could dig out a three-bedroom apartment.

Absolutely not!

"Ahem," Lin Yue cleared her throat, "I'll go rent a deck chair. You... if you want to play in the water, go play by yourself." She pointed to the rental point by the beach and walked quickly over without waiting for Yun Yi's reply.

Yun Yi finally came to his senses and looked at Lin Yue's slightly stiff back, somewhat confused: "Huh? Oh! Okay! Yueyue, you rest, I'll go... I'll go for a walk!" As if he wanted to escape this awkward and distracted atmosphere, he plunged into the shallow water area by the lake where there were many people.

Lin Yue rented a deck chair with a parasol, choosing a relatively secluded spot at the back of the beach. She took off her shoes and socks, stepping barefoot onto the warm, fine sand, feeling the wonderful sensation of the sand seeping between her toes, which helped her relax a little.

She took off her light coat and placed it next to the recliner, adjusted the angle of the recliner, and lay down comfortably.

The warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the parasol, bathing me in its gentle warmth. In the distance, I could hear the faint sounds of voices, splashing water, and the rustling of the wind through the reeds, all blending together into a lazy summer lullaby.

She closed her eyes and relaxed her whole body. She was indeed a little tired.

She quickly drifted off to sleep. Her breathing became even and deep, and her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyelids.

However, this tranquility carried an invisible barrier. Several men who were lingering on the beach, their eyes always lingering on young women, soon noticed the pretty, seemingly defenseless girl lying alone in the corner.

She looked completely harmless while sleeping, like a cat with its claws tucked in, exuding a vulnerability that drew people in.

"Hey buddy, look over there, top-notch!" A man with dyed blond hair and wearing flashy beach shorts nudged his companion with his elbow, his eyes gleaming with ill intent. "Sleeping so soundly, wanna go over and strike up a conversation?"

"Tsk, looks so young, probably a student." Another man, wearing a tight tank top that revealed his tattooed arms, licked his lips. "Want to go chat?"

The group exchanged glances and, laughing and joking, headed towards Lin Yue's recliner. They moved quietly, their movements carrying a predatory excitement and a hint of lewdness.

Just as they were about eight or nine meters away from Lin Yue's recliner, the blond-haired man at the front suddenly stopped!

An indescribable chill crept up my spine without warning! It felt like I had instantly fallen into an ice cave! My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and a suffocating sensation washed over me!

A primal, intense sense of fear, stemming from biological instinct, instantly gripped him! His smile froze, and cold sweat broke out on his face.

"Wha...what's wrong?" The tattooed man behind him was confused and was about to pass him when he also instantly felt that chilling aura that made his hair stand on end!

The feeling... was like being targeted by a hungry beast in a jungle at night! Cold, brutal, and carrying an absolute threat of death!

The tattooed man's face turned deathly pale, and his legs began to tremble uncontrollably. "Go...go quickly!" the blond-haired man forced out through clenched teeth, his voice shaking uncontrollably. He didn't even dare to look in Lin Yue's direction again, as if looking at her for even a moment would bring about his demise. He practically scrambled around and ran!

The group fled the area in a disheveled state. The others on the beach were bewildered, only seeing the men suddenly run away in a panic as if they had seen a ghost.

Lin Yue, fast asleep, was completely unaware of all this. She simply curled up slightly, almost unconsciously.

In her sleep, she instinctively suppressed the imperial aura and murderous intent that could shatter ordinary people. But for her, this was merely a basic self-protection mechanism, as natural as breathing.

.........

Yun Yi was having a great time in the shallow water. The cool lake water chased away the summer heat. He tried wading in the water and then watched curiously as several young people played water volleyball. Just as he was getting into it, a familiar voice, tinged with surprise, rang out behind him:

"Yunyi? It really is you! Hahaha!"

Yun Yi turned around and saw Jiang Feifei standing a few steps away, wearing a pink one-piece swimsuit adorned with white lace.

She wore a wide-brimmed sun hat in the same color scheme, her fair skin seemed to glow in the sunlight, and she had a bright smile on her face.

"Jiang Feifei?" Yun Yi was somewhat surprised. "You're here to play too?"
