Chapter 1627: Chapter 1627: Are You Guys Serious?
Brother Zheng and several others were sitting on the sightseeing chairs not far from the deck, and upon seeing their actions, he sighed softly in his heart. Had he really been mistaken before? Were these people actually led by that woman?
Just one sentence from the woman, and someone immediately went to gag Gu Qingyu’s mouth.
“Brother, this…”
“Shut up!”
Seeing this, a junior brother wanted to speak up but was interrupted by a grim-faced Brother Zheng.
“She’s digging her own grave; none of us can save her now.”
Did he not want to save Gu Qingyu? Even though she was reckless, after all his junior sister, he also knew she was not easy to save.
“If she doesn’t die, that would be great. Zi Mo and the others will be back soon after buying things, and then we should set off. If you need anything, you should also go and buy it quickly.”
He had asked the guards on the ship earlier when they would set sail and had been told it would be dawn.
It was almost dawn now, and there were still some vendors not far from them. There was still time to buy things, so he reminded his junior brothers not just for their sake but to stop them speaking on behalf of Gu Qingyu.
It wasn’t that he was heartless, but he felt it was better to have Gu Qingyu hanging at the back of the ship. Otherwise, given her foul mouth, who knew what she would say next and offend King Qian.
Meanwhile, An Jiuyue carefully examined the Sea Area Map from start to finish. In fact, it wasn’t for her, but for Wei Na’s inspection.
“How is it?”
After waiting a good while, she asked Wei Na.
“It’s doable.”
Wei Na pondered for a moment before nodding.
“The range I can sense has expanded now. I am ninety percent confident I can accurately avoid the Sea Demonic Beasts,” he said.
“That’s good to hear.”
Hearing his words, An Jiuyue felt rea.s.sured.
“Qian Jiyun, let’s follow your proposal then to travel in a straight line. If we encounter Sea Demonic Beasts, I’ll notify you in advance.”
It wasn’t that she insisted on taking this dangerous route, but she couldn’t afford any delays. She could control the poison in Xiang Qiyan’s body, but no one knew if something unexpected would happen.
Even she couldn’t say for sure how long this controlling method could be used.
Moreover, they had no idea when they would be able to find the Cold Soul Flower Core. What if they reached the Zhedu Sea Area and it still took time to find the flower core?
“Are you serious?” Zhan Beiye looked incredulously at the two of them.
Seeing their calm demeanor, they didn’t seem like the type to seek adventures; yet they had chosen the most adventurous, straight-line sailing route.
“King Qian, Princess Consort, the Sea Demonic Beasts beneath the sea are very powerful. If we really encounter them…” A guard, having overheard their conversation, tried to persuade.
“Your Prince cannot afford any delay.”
An Jiuyue’s words successfully interrupted the guard’s plea.
For their Prince, they were willing to sacrifice their lives, but they still hesitated. They could risk their lives, but what about the Prince? He was also aboard this ship.
“We wouldn’t make such a decision without confidence,” Qian Jiyun said, his gaze stern as he addressed them.
“Pack away the Sea Area Map and tell the boatman to follow the straight route. Also, obey commands without question and report to my cabin every half an hour for updates.”
“Yes, King Qian.”
With no other options, Su Tang had no choice but to comply.
