Chapter 1626: Chapter 1626: Not Letting Her Shut Up
It seems that this is the only way to go, but choosing this path is really troublesome, isn’t it? I estimate we will travel a long way. Can we reach the Zhedu Sea Area in one month?
“Are you sure the map in your hand is accurate? Are there strong Sea Demonic Beasts at these points?” He looked towards Su Tang and asked.
“This is the latest Sea Area Map we could get our hands on. There’s no newer version available.”
Su Tang replied. The sea was different from the land; the Sea Demonic Beasts hid underwater, unseen. Information had to be gathered from the countless accounts of sailors to create such a map.
“So you’re saying, this map is not the most accurate,” Zhan Beiye inquired.
“There’s no such thing as ‘most accurate’ when it comes to Sea Demonic Beasts. They can’t possibly stay in the same area forever; they need to move around.” Qian Jiyun glanced at Zhan Beiye and continued to study the Sea Area Map.
“If we go in a straight line, how many days will it take to reach the Zhedu Sea Area?” he asked Su Tang.
“No more than twenty days.”
Without hesitation, Su Tang answered.
The most important thing about going to the Zhedu Sea Area is to avoid the attacks of those Sea Demonic Beasts. Just looking at this twisted and turning route, which is enough to give anyone a headache, it seems we’d have to travel at least twice the distance by sea, right?
“Then let’s go straight,” Qian Jiyun declared.
“What?!”
Su Tang was shocked. If they followed the straight line and encountered Sea Demonic Beasts, wouldn’t they be doomed?
“King Qian, this straight line is impossible to follow. From our location to the Zhedu Sea Area, we must pass through the territories of nine powerful Sea Demonic Beasts. If we encounter them, our chances of escape are nil.”
He spoke up to remind them.
“Qian Jiyun, Su Tang is right. We should avoid them where we can,” Zhan Beiye also advised.
Although he worried about Xiang Qiyan’s poison and injuries, An Jiuyue had said it before—if they could save their lives, that was enough. Taking some extra time was acceptable.
“Avoid them where we can?”
Just as Qian Jiyun was about to retort, he heard An Jiuyue’s voice coming from behind.
He immediately turned around, walked swiftly to An Jiuyue’s side, and half-enclosed her in his embrace, asking softly.
“Why did you come out? Don’t want to sleep anymore?”
“No, I was woken up by the noise,” An Jiuyue shook her head.
Upon hearing this, Qian Jiyun’s expression stiffened.
It was his fault. Hanging that woman at the stern of the ship was what woke An Jiuyue up.
“An Jiuyue, you’re not going to speak up for that kind of woman, are you?” Zhan Beiye blinked and asked An Jiuyue.
“Speak up for her?”
An Jiuyue raised an eyebrow.
Did she look like the kind of person who would speak on behalf of someone who could potentially cause trouble for her? The people she had treated kindly in the past had some connection to Qian Jiyun or herself. As for that woman, she had no relation to them; why would An Jiuyue speak up for her?
“Speak up for her? I’m just reminding you all, if you’re going to hang someone up, why wouldn’t you gag her mouth too? She’s too loud.”
It wasn’t only An Jiuyue she had disturbed, was it? That woman’s screams must have awakened half the coast, not to mention the people still on shore.
“I will take care of it immediately.”
Upon hearing An Jiuyue’s words, Su Tang stuffed the Sea Area Map into the hands of another subordinate and strode towards the stern of the ship.
Soon after Su Tang left, the noise from Gu Qingyu ceased. She was silent and didn’t make another sound. Quickly, Su Tang returned.
