386 Taking a Beating

Did the shark want to get itself killed?

Naked, Gu Bailu fell from the bed.

Feng Qingtian flashed over to her and picked her up. “Are you hurt?”

Examining her, he took the chance to grope her, and Gu Bailu complained in his arms. “You…”

“I would take you if this wasn’t the wrong time to do so.”

Gu Bailu was lost for words.

Didn’t they just finish two hours earlier?

“I’ll check and see what’s going on.” Feng Qingtian covered Gu Bailu with a blanket, not because he disliked her nudity, which he actually preferred, but because he was scared that she would be sunburnt.

“A shark crashed into our boat. It looks ferocious.”

Feng Qingtian looked at her strangely. “How do you know that?”

“I saw it. I can see it! I leveled up,” Gu Bailu said delightedly, her hands around his neck.

“That’s great. Here’s your reward.” Feng Qingtian lowered his head and kissed her for a long moment.

Gu Bailu said angrily, “Is that a reward for me or for you?”

“Isn’t it the same?”

The boat shook violently again. Gu Bailu lowered her head, only to see the shark sticking to the bottom of the boat.

The boat would break if the shark didn’t give up.

“I’ll kill it.” To Prince Zi, nothing in the ocean was a threat. He could easily kill them.

Gu Bailu shook her head. “I’ll ask the shark why it’s attacking us.”

Feng Qingtian looked at her, finding that odd. “You speak the language of fish?”

Gu Bailu glared at him and cast a spell. Immediately, she heard all sorts of voices. “Release my son! Release my son, ruthless humans…”

Gu Bailu looked at the shark, only to see that it was followed by an assortment of fish and even shrimp, which were so small that she hadn’t noticed them earlier.

It looked like a mob fight.

“Not good. They’ve surrounded us. They’re attacking us because you caught their children.”

Gu Bailu was somewhat speechless as she had never been surrounded by fish before. She saw that most of the fish on the deck were still struggling and shouting, “Mother, help me…”

The voices were childish and sounded helpless.

She could understand them, which immediately upset her.

“I’m not scared of them.” Feng Qingtian wasn’t bothered. He could easily kill all the fish with one attack.

“Don’t… They’re lives, too. Just let them go.” Gu Bailu’s heart softened.

It didn’t matter when she didn’t know their pain and couldn’t understand their language, but now that she could perceive their pain, she found it impossible to eat fish anymore.

Feng Qingtian looked at her strangely. “Really? Didn’t you want roasted fish?”

“I don’t now. They’re screaming miserably. I can’t eat them,” said Gu Bailu pitifully.

The screams were too wretched. She wouldn’t be human if she could still eat them.
