Fish Meat – Chapter 126
by Little PandaThe First Year of Zhao Wu
The Path of Ten Thousand Directions (5)
Zhen Wenjun was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness, and Wei Tingxu had known this for a very long time.
That’s why Zhen Wenjun became close friends with Lingbi, who was equally rich in emotions, and why she would invest all her feelings after truly falling in love with someone.
Wei Tingxu certainly understood what it meant to “fall in love with someone.” She had read numerous classics and perused many love poems from ancient times to the present. Love is also part of human emotions, and perhaps even the most important part. How many heroes have risked everything for a beauty, how many beauties have longed for their lovers until their black hair turned to snow? Love can make people brave, and it can also make people cowardly. It can even turn people into puppets on fingertips. Wei Tingxu was interested in all things in the world that possessed power, and love was naturally something to be understood and enlightened about.
Beautiful people know they are beautiful, and intelligent people know they are intelligent. Wei Tingxu knew that her ability to comprehend was stronger than ordinary people, so she always thought that love would be an extremely simple matter for her, something she could easily master.
It was only when she truly found herself in the midst of it that she discovered why “love” is love, and why it could cut down countless heroes in such a stealthy manner.
The long-tense nerves finally relaxed when it was confirmed that Wei Tingxu was not in danger. The wound on Zhen Wenjun’s arm was much more severe than the deliberately injured wound on Wei Tingxu’s mouth corner, but she didn’t care at all. Before going to sleep, she was still caressing Wei Tingxu’s mouth corner, mumbling:
“How could you bear to…”
It was just a small wound, yet she cared so much about it.
The slave traders certainly wouldn’t let important “goods” have any flaws. What they sold was a good appearance, and even a small flaw could give potential buyers a chance to negotiate the price. So all along the way, Lanxin had been quite attentive to Wei Tingxu, having people take good care of her and not letting her get hurt or bumped. This wound was self-inflicted by biting, just to leave a mark for recognition with Muge.
Why couldn’t she bear it? What was there to not bear? Was this something important enough to keep in mind?
Zhen Wenjun fell asleep, and Wei Tingxu covered her with bedding, dimmed the oil lamp, and walked out of the room.
Xiaohua was guarding at the door. Seeing her come out, she asked, “Does the lady want some food?”
Wei Tingxu shook her head.
“Does the lady want to contact Ah Liao and the others?”
“No need. Ah Zheng has already gone back to rescue her. They will come here to meet up with me tomorrow.”
“Then what does the lady need?”
Xiaohua knew that Wei Tingxu wouldn’t wander around aimlessly. Her every move had a purpose.
“What do I need.” Wei Tingxu pondered for a while but said nothing. She actually didn’t know what she needed at this moment.
She just wanted to gaze at the bright moon, gaze at that moon she could never obtain.
The ancient Guxi country was divided into three regions according to Tianyuan, Dicheng, and Haizhen. The regions were not connected to each other, and the entry tokens for each city were different. To enter each other’s jurisdiction, corresponding tokens were needed.
It could be said that the ancient Guxi country had already split into three small countries, each ruled by its own nobility. However, Guxi country was located in a remote area, and after the closure of the Road to Ten Thousand Directions, they were isolated from the outside world. Moreover, they were quite hostile to outsiders and had never thought of leaving the country to find another territory. Whether it was Tianyuan, Dicheng, or Haizhen, what these nobles wanted and planned was to swallow up the other two tribes, eliminate dissidents, and unify Guxi.
The three great noble families each had their own schemes, and Haizhen was definitely not the strongest.
Haizhen had a larger population than Dicheng but much smaller than Tianyuan. It was located in the westernmost part of Guxi, with barren land far from water sources. Compared to the other two tribes, Muge’s rule had a touch of Da Yu style, with relatively higher status for women, and the population showed signs of rising year by year. As the population increased, both land and food were becoming insufficient to support them, and the desire to conquer the other two tribes grew stronger. This was one of the reasons why Wei Tingxu wanted to conspire with them.
Another point was out of Wei Tingxu’s personal motives.
Muge did not approve of selling female slaves. With half Da Yu blood flowing in him, he had some Confucian style in his bones. Collaborating with him carried less risk, and there was no fear of him going back on his word and betraying them.
After Zhong Ji, Ah Liao, and her group of women escaped danger and reunited with Wei Tingxu, Wei Tingxu gathered everyone to discuss the unification of Guxi.
Muge had asked Wei Tingxu how she wanted to deal with Lanxin and the group of slave traders. If she wanted to vent her anger, he could have that batch of people arrested and killed. Wei Tingxu wasn’t interested in the life and death of such small characters and said Muge could deal with them as he wished. The most important thing now was that she had promised to help Muge unify Guxi.
The land of Guxi country was as small as Pingcang County. For Wei Tingxu, who was plotting for Da Yu among the forty-eight counties and more than a hundred clan forces and multiple complex forces, unifying the simple-minded Guxi country was like reaching into a pocket to take something out, not worth mentioning. The thousand-plus followers were elite warriors carefully selected by Li Yanyi, each with the strength to match three men. Muge had already let people bring them into the country, stationed around the great hall.
Wei Tingxu, Zhen Wenjun, Ah Xi, Ah Liao, Ah Zheng, Zuo Kunda, as well as Muge and his two capable generals, She Tai and Qi En, plotted secretly overnight, discussing the unification plan.
Although Muge’s two generals were called “generals,” they actually had no combat experience, and neither did Muge himself.
It was true that there were constant conflicts in Guxi country, but all the nobles occupied their own small piece of land and enjoyed themselves, occasionally quarreling and exchanging a few moves, but never had the idea of truly sending troops to war. Muge had read the military books brought back from Da Yu by his ancestors and had always wanted to put them into practice, but he couldn’t find the best opportunity.
The only ones here who had actually been on the battlefield and even led troops were Zhen Wenjun and Zuo Kunda. Ah Xi mostly just played dead on the battlefield, and when it came to planning battles, she would slip away to find some food and be an observer, eating while listening.
Muge spread out the map of Guxi under the oil lamp. After understanding the locations and power differences of the three great noble families, Zhen Wenjun had a clear idea of both the battle situation and the use of strategies.
“Tianyuan, located between Dicheng and Haizhen, not only has the largest area but also has strong troops and abundant food. If war breaks out, it would not be difficult for Tianyuan to defeat the other nobles one by one.”
What Zhen Wenjun said was exactly what Muge was worried about, and it was an important reason why he couldn’t make up his mind to send troops to this day. Knowing one’s own advantages to win and knowing one’s disadvantages to survive is fundamental. He was afraid that once the existing balance was broken, Tianyuan would seize the opportunity to annihilate the other two tribes in one fell swoop. At that time, Haizhen, who initiated the war, would not only be defeated and become a prisoner but might also be cursed by future generations.
“However, it’s not just strong troops and horses that can win,” Zhen Wenjun had participated in the great battle of Mengliang, which was a typical example of winning with fewer troops that people often talked about. “‘Three’ is a magical number, it’s extremely unstable. If used properly, it can allow the small to defeat the large and control the situation. Don’t look down on Dicheng’s small size, whoever can win it over in the end will be victorious.”
“Oh?” Touching on the art of war that Muge was most interested in, he pricked up his ears and asked with great interest, “How can the small defeat the large?”
Zhen Wenjun circled Dicheng with her brush: “Form an alliance with Dicheng. I was also present at the Xuan Guan auction that day and saw with my own eyes how Dicheng and Tianyuan’s Ahou were at odds with each other. Dicheng also hates Tianyuan. Neither you nor Dicheng are a match for Tianyuan. If you want to conquer Dicheng, although Guxi country is not vast, transporting troops and supplies over long distances to Dicheng’s territory would consume a lot of manpower and resources. Why not unite with Dicheng to attack Tianyuan together? As stated in the 《Strategies of the Warring States, Qin Strategy》: ‘Form alliances with distant states and attack the nearby ones. Gain an inch and it’s the king’s inch, gain a foot and it’s also the king’s foot.’ Whether it’s land or military strength, no matter how weak Dicheng’s power is, if you get three thousand, it’s three thousand; if you get ten thousand, it’s ten thousand. After you unite to defeat Tianyuan, if Dicheng is willing to submit, that’s naturally good. If they’re not willing to submit, then you can send troops to attack them at that time. It will be easier and purer.”
Muge took out a brush to record: “Form alliances with distant states and attack the nearby ones…”
Zhen Wenjun: “…No need to write it down, just communicate any questions you have at any time.”
For five consecutive days, they secretly discussed important matters in the hall. After all strategies were formulated, they planned to send secret envoys to Dicheng to negotiate and form an alliance.
Wei Tingxu didn’t let the secret envoys go straight to negotiate. This alliance needed to be more careful and more natural.
“In case Dicheng has no intention of forming an alliance with you, and instead secretly informs Tianyuan of your plans, uniting with Tianyuan to attack you, I’m afraid it would be too late to remedy the situation then.”
Muge deeply agreed: “The lady’s reminder is extremely correct. In your opinion, what should I do?”
“Does Dicheng’s Ahou have any hobbies?” Wei Tingxu thought for a moment and said, “Is he particularly fond of women?”
“Oh? How does the lady know?”
“Based on what you said, the Dicheng nobility is not wealthy, and there’s a huge gap in financial power compared to the Tianyuan nobility. But last time at the Xuan Guan auction, that Dicheng Ahou actually competed with Tianyuan, willing to spend a fortune… not just a fortune, but ten thousand diamond stones.”
“Yes, ten thousand diamond stones are equivalent to two years of food for all the people of Dicheng,” Muge said. “The Dicheng Ahou is indeed a person who craves beauty. All the good-looking women within Dicheng’s borders have been sent to his great hall as his slaves. He even oppresses the people and plunders their wealth to buy female slaves from the Central Plains, which is really disgusting.”
“Being disgusting is one thing, but this person is still the target we need to win over. We’re not afraid of his baseness; only base people with weaknesses are easy to manipulate. If he likes women, we’ll send a beautiful woman to his side, but this beauty must not be allowed to be obtained by him.”
“Not allowed to be obtained?”
“Yes, only what can’t be obtained is unforgettable.”
Following Wei Tingxu’s scheme, Muge sent his most beautiful and clever concubine to Dicheng. There was a spy in Dicheng, who was sent by Muge’s father when he was alive. This spy was nearly sixty years old and was the teacher of the current Dicheng Ahou. Muge sent this woman as a female slave to the spy. When the Dicheng Ahou saw her, he was immediately attracted by her stunning beauty. However, the female slave was his teacher’s property, and her status was quite sensitive. He couldn’t seize her no matter what, otherwise, he would be a sinner despised by everyone.
The Dicheng Ahou spent his days hiding in the shadows, drooling over his teacher’s female slave. When the time was right, Muge personally came to discuss the matter of uniting to attack Tianyuan. The Dicheng Ahou was somewhat hesitant, so Muge promised that as long as he agreed, he would send him as many beautiful women as he wanted. The Dicheng Ahou didn’t want anyone else, he only thought about that one beautiful woman.
Muge said, “I have a way to offer her to you.”
The Dicheng Ahou wouldn’t believe it. Muge then had his teacher write a promise that as long as he was willing to unite and attack Tianyuan, he would be willing to sacrifice everything.
The Dicheng Ahou naturally had his own doubts: “Why would he listen to you?”
“He’s not listening to me,” Muge said. “It’s just that I spent some time learning about his past. His wife and children were killed by Tianyuan. If you’re willing to send troops against Tianyuan, let alone a female slave, he wouldn’t care even if he lost everything.”
Indeed, as Wei Tingxu said, once a person has something they’re obsessed with or a favorite thing in their heart, they become very easy to control. The Dicheng Ahou, without hesitation, allied with Haizhen and sent troops to attack Tianyuan.
Zhen Wenjun hadn’t been on the battlefield for a while, and now having the opportunity to kill enemies was just right for her to stretch her muscles. This disgusting country, only by personally conquering and bloodying the land could she alleviate the hatred in her heart.
Zhen Wenjun had Zuo Kunda act as the vanguard to harass the western part of Tianyuan. When the main Tianyuan army attacked the west, Zhen Wenjun led troops to attack their two flanks from behind, defeating the fifty thousand Tianyuan troops so that they couldn’t even form ranks. Just as the army was fleeing in defeat, Dicheng’s troops arrived, blocking the retreat path. They sandwiched the Tianyuan troops between Haizhen’s forces, trapping them without water or food for a full ten days, until they could only surrender.
This battle took less than a month from start to finish. Zhen Wenjun had been killing at the forefront the whole time, but she barely saw a few drops of blood, which wasn’t satisfying at all. Fortunately, what Muge aimed for was not just carving up Tianyuan.
After destroying Tianyuan, Muge set his sights on Dicheng. The Dicheng Ahou was also quite dissatisfied with Muge. When they wanted to form an alliance and asked him to send troops, they had promised him beautiful women, but the women went missing during the great war, and he didn’t even see a strand of hair. He went to settle accounts with Muge, who was also helpless, saying this was not something he could control. Besides, why didn’t you keep a close eye on the woman you liked?
The Dicheng Ahou felt he had been deceived and harbored resentment. He frequently caused trouble for Muge and even secretly dispatched assassins to take Muge’s head.
Wei Tingxu had been waiting for this day.
“Forming an alliance with him was out of necessity. Now that the great threat has been eliminated, it’s time to find an opportunity to destroy Dicheng and unify the country. However, breaking faith might invite criticism. If you attack your ally, you might bear the name of being unrighteous and disloyal. But now that the other party is intent on causing trouble, if you conquer them, it would be out of necessity.”
After listening to Wei Tingxu, Muge suddenly realized: “I see. This way, I’ll gain both reputation and profit.”
Wei Tingxu nodded with a faint smile.
Muge praised Wei Tingxu in front of her, but when he met with his two generals later and mentioned this matter, he felt uneasy inside.
“This Da Yu woman probably anticipated all the subsequent developments from the very beginning,” She Tai also felt a chill thinking about this.
Qi En said: “However, deception and trickery are common on the battlefield. After all, they helped the Ahou eliminate Tianyuan. Now wanting to eliminate Dicheng is just a matter of a moment. She is also planning everything for you, Ahou.”
“I naturally know that,” Muge said. “Such a woman can only be conspired with temporarily but absolutely cannot be kept close. If we were to walk together, I’m afraid we’d need several more lives to be enough.”
With one order from Wei Tingxu, Zhen Wenjun’s iron cavalry quickly pierced through Dicheng’s fragile defense line. Zhen Wenjun found that all the soldiers in Guxi country didn’t care about tactics when fighting, or rather, they didn’t understand military strategy at all and just relied on brute force to charge forward, dying without hesitation. They weren’t as strong as the Chongjin soldiers and didn’t understand strategy, so it was very easy for Zhen Wenjun to fight them.
In less than three months, all the remnants were cleaned up. With the help of Wei Tingxu, Zhen Wenjun, and others, Muge completed the unification. He was extremely grateful and wanted to host a banquet to entertain them properly, but Wei Tingxu politely declined.
“We have more important things to do. The road ahead is long, and we have spent too much time here. We need to hurry on our journey. The Ahou only needs to grant us trading rights, and that will be the best thanks.”
Trading rights were certainly not a problem. Muge personally handed them to Wei Tingxu and was also quite interested in the “road ahead” she mentioned.
“May I ask where the lady intends to go?” Muge asked.
Wei Tingxu didn’t need to conceal it: “We are on this journey in the name of the Da Yu Empress to reopen the Road to Ten Thousand Directions, intending to go to the Country of Flowing Fire.”
“The journey to the Country of Flowing Fire is extremely dangerous. It’s not something ordinary people can reach.”
“Precisely because of this, I must go there.”
Muge greatly admired Wei Tingxu, although he was somewhat wary of her calculations.
“The lady has helped me achieve an eternal achievement. I also want to give the lady two gifts. Qi En!”
One of the generals who had been following Muge, the man called Qi En, knelt on one knee: “Here!”
“I order you to follow Lady Wei, help them safely reach the Country of Flowing Fire.”
“Yes!”
Wei Tingxu refused. They had a group of more than 1,500 people, with three dying in this battle, and still had many strong soldiers. There was no need for him to send someone else to escort them.
Muge said: “The lady doesn’t know, this general of mine is worth all of your followers combined!”
“Oh?”
“Qi En is a descendant of the Country of Flowing Fire,” Muge was indeed not exaggerating. “His grandfather’s grandfather arrived in Guxi from the Country of Flowing Fire, married and had children, and has been living here ever since. Their family has a hereditary treasure that can point out the location of the Country of Flowing Fire and will never get lost. Without this treasure, even capable people like Lady Wei and Lady Zhen wouldn’t be able to cross the vast Ku’er Jianshi Desert.”
Ah Xi understood the meaning of “Ku’er Jianshi.” In the Guxi language, “Ku’er Jianshi” was like “asura hell” (cultural reference – 修羅地獄, referring to a realm of extreme suffering in Buddhist cosmology) in the language of the Central Plains, a very frightening place. Using this word to describe the desert, one can imagine how terrifying it is.
This desert had always been what Ah Xi was most worried about.
The reason why the Country of Flowing Fire was so mysterious was that no one could survive coming and going through the desert to bring back information about the Country of Flowing Fire. This desert hid countless terrifying stories, and its existence was a natural barrier for the Country of Flowing Fire. At that time, she hesitated to come because she felt that no one could cross the desert.
Suddenly hearing what Muge said, that there were actually descendants of the Country of Flowing Fire here, truly surprised her greatly. Breaking her usual low-key demeanor, she excitedly asked:
“Is the treasure you mentioned the Ten Thousand Ways Compass?”
Qi En was slightly surprised: “That’s right, it is indeed the Ten Thousand Ways Compass.”
Zhen Wenjun and Wei Tingxu both looked at Ah Xi. Ah Xi explained: “This Ten Thousand Ways Compass is produced in the Country of Flowing Fire. The compass contains magnetic sand stones unique to the underground of the Country of Flowing Fire. No matter where you stand in the world, as long as you take out the compass, it will always point in the direction of the Country of Flowing Fire. In the early years, when people from the Country of Flowing Fire were still willing to leave their homeland, everyone had one to use when returning.”
With Ah Xi’s confirmation, Wei Tingxu’s hope greatly increased. She gladly accepted Muge’s first gift. The second gift was a large ship.
The large ship lay like a giant beast by the dock, waiting for its new owner to come.
“The Country of Flowing Fire is located southeast of Guxi country. Since ancient times, there has been only one way to reach Ku’er Jianshi, which is to cross the Ruierhu Mountain. The Ruierhu Mountain is so treacherous that it’s difficult to cross, and the only passable road on this mountain was buried by falling rocks twenty years ago, so there’s no way to go now. Although going down along the Ming Zhong Sea is a detour, our terrain here is high, and with the rushing water current, we can reach the Tiger Tribe in less than a month. From the Tiger Tribe, go east for five hundred li, and you’ll reach the Gulun Grassland. After passing through the Gulun Grassland, you can quickly enter Ku’er Jianshi. This route is smooth sailing, and the grassland is also excellent for galloping. You can load your carriages onto the ship and sail downstream. When the time comes, you can gallop on horseback, which is much safer than fighting with wild bears on the Ruierhu Mountain.”
Ah Xi, who had traveled part of the Road to Ten Thousand Directions before, strongly affirmed the route Muge provided. Wei Tingxu had no time to delay further and immediately had her followers drive the horses onto the ship. Qi En, besides being able to use the Ten Thousand Ways Compass, was also an excellent sailor who could predict wind directions and sea weather.
Muge sent a lot of food onto the ship. Spring and summer were the best times to head south, with no wind and no waves.
Early the next morning, Wei Tingxu and her group set sail, continuing their journey towards the Country of Flowing Fire.
They sailed for five consecutive days, and indeed, the waves were not big. With the wide body and sturdy keel of the ship, the sailing had been very smooth. Zhen Wenjun sunbathed and caught fish on the deck, not like she was on a distant expedition at all, but more like she was on a pleasure trip. Relying on her good swimming skills, she would occasionally jump into the sea to swim with the colorful fish. Sometimes she would take a fish spear down into the water, spear some fat fish to bring back to the ship, and slice them for sashimi right away.
Zhen Wenjun was strong, and the more vast and extraordinary the place, the more she could play to her heart’s content. Wei Tingxu, on the other hand, was completely the opposite.
She had been vomiting for five days since boarding the ship, unable to eat anything. If it weren’t for Zhen Wenjun forcing her to eat some thin porridge, she might have already been unconscious by now.
Zhen Wenjun blamed herself for being careless and thoughtless. How could she not have thought that Zizhuo was weak and couldn’t withstand the wind and waves? Wei Tingxu said herself that she would be fine after a few days of adaptation, but after so many days, she was still vomiting non-stop. Zhen Wenjun ordered to return to shore, but Wei Tingxu stopped her.
“We cannot delay the great matter because of me alone.” Wei Tingxu had lost an entire circle of weight, looking weak and frail, even her voice was faint and without strength.
“But if this continues, you’ll lose your life before we reach the shore.” Zhen Wenjun wasn’t trying to scare her.
Wei Tingxu didn’t care: “How can such a small matter take my life? You don’t need to say anymore.”
After sending Zhen Wenjun away, Wei Tingxu no longer saw her.
Zhen Wenjun knew that Wei Tingxu was always willful and would never listen to her. She understood that they must move forward, but she was also worried that Wei Tingxu’s body couldn’t take it. She hesitated, feeling extremely anxious.
Wei Tingxu lay in bed, feeling irritated. Every sway of the ship made her stomach churn uncomfortably.
She knew that Zhen Wenjun hadn’t left and was still outside the door, which made her even more irritated.
This wasn’t something Zhen Wenjun should be doing.
Zhen Wenjun should warn her to be quiet and not let her slight discomfort affect the mood of everyone on the ship. She should lock her up and then command everyone on the ship to move forward at full speed, reaching their destination as soon as possible.
This is what a person Wei Tingxu would admire and worship would do. How could Zhen Wenjun, being so indecisive, shoulder great responsibilities?
The previous Wenjun clearly wasn’t like this.
Wei Tingxu closed her eyes, wanting to sleep a bit more to suppress her irritation and nausea. Just as she closed her eyes, she heard a loud shout from the deck.
She opened her eyes and tried to get out of bed when the entire ship suddenly tilted to one side. Wei Tingxu quickly grabbed the edge of the bed, nearly falling.
This wasn’t an ordinary wave; it was as if the ship’s body was being pulled by a huge force.
Stumbling out of the cabin, the scene she saw completely exceeded Wei Tingxu’s expectations.
A black monster fish broke through the water and flew into the air. Zhen Wenjun shot an arrow, hitting it in the heart. But the small arrow was insignificant to this monster fish. As the monster fish fell, its tail forcefully slapped the bow of the ship. It was like a hand slapping a leaf on the water surface; the ship was immediately shaken into the air, and the people on the ship screamed as they were separated from the deck. Nearly a hundred people were thrown into the air and fell into the sea.
Ah Liao was among them!
Her twenty-some sisters cried out, unable to grab her. Zhen Wenjun, who was holding onto a flagpole and could have steadily landed back on the deck with a flip, saw that Ah Liao was about to fall into the water and urgently dove forward, kicking her back with one foot.
Ah Liao’s chest was kicked hard, almost suffocating. When she fell back, she clutched her chest, her face turning blue with pain.
The sisters all came forward to check if she was injured anywhere, but Ah Liao was speechless. Even though she often wrapped her chest when going out, these pair of delicate breasts were very much loved by the sisters. This kick nearly caved them in.
Zhen Wenjun kicked Ah Liao back but fell uncontrollably into the sea herself.
The monster fish wasn’t acting alone. Hundreds of juvenile fish, slightly smaller in size, were quietly hiding around the ship. One slap from the monster fish, and the people falling into the sea became their lunch!
The people who fell into the sea were eaten clean, one by one. Zhen Wenjun was shocked. The juvenile fish’s teeth, like iron saws, were about to bite her waist. She used both hands to block the bite of the juvenile fish, but this juvenile fish was incredibly strong. Zhen Wenjun was about to give in!
On the other side, Qi En had also fallen into the water and was surrounded by a group of juvenile fish. Xiaohua immediately took the rope at hand and was about to throw it down to rescue Qi En. Wei Tingxu grabbed her and pointed to Zhen Wenjun on the other side, ordering: “Save Wenjun!”
Xiaohua hesitated slightly: “But my lady, only Qi En knows how to use the Ten Thousand Ways Compass. If he dies, we won’t be able to find the Country of Flowing Fire!”
Zhen Wenjun’s hands were covered in blood, and the juvenile fish’s teeth were closing tighter and tighter, about to drag Zhen Wenjun underwater.
Once Zhen Wenjun was dragged underwater, she would only have death awaiting her!
“If we can’t find the Country of Flowing Fire, how will we explain to Her Majesty when we return? How will the new law be implemented?” Xiaohua had always only followed orders because all the orders Wei Tingxu had given her in the past had no problems at all. She only needed to obey.
But in the current situation, Xiaohua had to remind Wei Tingxu.
Wei Tingxu saw that only Zhen Wenjun’s head was left above the water surface and repeated:
“Save Wenjun.”
Xiaohua had no choice but to obey.
She threw the rope towards Zhen Wenjun. Zhen Wenjun used the rope to escape danger and return to the ship. While just ten steps away from her, Qi En was surrounded and bitten to death by the fish group, his blood dyeing the sea surface a bright red.
