Chapter 193: Leaving the Canglan Nation
The people in the small space held their breath, listening to the approaching footsteps.
It wasn’t that Su Lingxi hadn’t thought about killing this Canglan Sea Guard, but there were still a few people on the deck.
The moment she attacked, those people on the deck would definitely notify the others immediately.
At this time, Old Wang reacted. He pointed to the small door behind him.
Yes, there was a small door on each side of this space below deck.
Old Li had said that the types of fish inside were different, so they had to be kept separately.
At that time, no one had paid attention, and no one was even willing to open it to take a look.
There was no other way. The smell was too strong.
Old Wang tiptoed to open the small door, and a strong smell came out.
Old Wang suppressed his nausea and called his wife to crawl in, and then he crawled in himself.
Su Lingxi had wanted to take Yun Qianrou in with her, but when she walked to the side, she found that Old Wang’s fish hold could only fit two people.
Old Wang gestured in the air a few times, signaling her to go to the fish hold on the other side.
Su Lingxi hurried back to her position and opened the fish hold.
Outside, Old Li, who had been pushed aside, got up to buy them time.
“My lord, you’re really overthinking it. It’s just some fish moving around.”
Old Li fearlessly blocked the Canglan Sea Guard.
The Canglan Sea Guard frowned and said fiercely, “Do you want to die?”
“I’ll give you three seconds. If you don’t get out of the way, do you believe I’ll kill you?”
Old Li pretended to be afraid and hesitantly made way.
There was no other way. He could only delay until here.
In the small space, Yun Qianrou pinched her nose and crawled into the fish hold first.
Then came Su Lingxi.
As soon as she walked in, the smell rushed straight to her head, and Su Lingxi felt nauseous.
But there was no other way. She could only endure the nausea now.
The space in the fish hold was small, and Su Lingxi could only crawl in.
There was no light inside at all. She fumbled in the space, trying to find Yun Qianrou’s position.
Who knew that she touched something soft, which felt like holding a freshly baked steamed bun.
This feel was familiar…
“So familiar…”
Su Lingxi couldn’t help but squeeze it. Suddenly, a girl’s soft moan came from the fish under her.
Su Lingxi suddenly realized what she had touched.
“!”
Yun Qianrou pitifully patted Su Lingxi’s hand. Even without light,
Su Lingxi could feel that Yun Qianrou was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Su Lingxi apologized several times in a row, and her hands quickly moved away from the girl’s chest.
Tears welled up in Yun Qianrou’s eyes. She hadn’t expected her body to be molested by a man.
Su Lingxi whispered, “Don’t be afraid. I’m actually a girl too.”
In the narrow space, Su Lingxi removed her disguise, revealing that exquisitely beautiful face.
Yun Qianrou was stunned, and the grievance in her eyes dissipated slightly.
“Really?”
She asked with a nasal voice.
Su Lingxi nodded quickly. “Why don’t… you verify it?”
After Su Lingxi finished speaking, Yun Qianrou’s face was so red that water could drip from it.
Only then did she realize that she had said something misleading.
Verify what?
Bang!
The door outside was kicked open by the Canglan Sea Guard. The Canglan Sea Guard walked in carefully with a long knife in his hand.
There were still traces of people living in this small space, but because the light inside was dim, the Canglan Sea Guard did not discover it immediately.
Old Li silently walked to the corner and disposed of these traces.
The Canglan Sea Guard looked at the empty small room and questioned Old Li.
“What was this small room originally used for?”
“My lord, it’s just for storing some sundries. You’re really overthinking it.”
The Canglan Sea Guard did not give up. With his years of experience, he quickly discovered the small doors on both sides.
“What’s in here?”
“Just some fish,” Old Li explained.
“Open it and take a look.”
The Canglan Sea Guard made way for Old Li. Old Li pretended to look for tools on the spot.
Then he knocked on the small door with his finger, signaling to the people inside that he was going to open it.
Old Wang and Su Lingxi buried their bodies under the fish respectively.
Old Li finally “found” the tool and slowly opened the fish hold door on Old Wang’s side.
A pungent fishy smell hit his face. The Canglan Sea Guard frowned and poked the fish inside with his knife.
Old Wang held his breath, his body pressed tightly against the cabin wall. Fortunately, the Canglan Sea Guard found nothing unusual and closed the cabin door.
Then, the Canglan Sea Guard signaled Old Li to open the fish hold on the other side.
Old Li’s hand trembled slightly as he slowly opened the cabin door on Su Lingxi’s side.
The same fishy smell filled the air. The Canglan Sea Guard rummaged through the pile of fish with his knife again.
Just as his knife was about to touch Su Lingxi, suddenly, a rat scurried out from the corner and ran past the Canglan Sea Guard’s feet.
The Canglan Sea Guard was startled and instinctively took a step back, his attention attracted by the rat.
“Damn it, what kind of transportation environment is this?”
“Can the fish stored in this environment be eaten?”
The Canglan Sea Guard didn’t want to stay here anymore.
Old Li smiled apologetically. “They can be eaten, don’t worry.”
“After all, they are sold to the people of the Heaven Wind Nation.”
“You kid.” The Canglan Sea Guard shook his head.
“Alright, let’s stop the inspection here.”
The Canglan Sea Guard didn’t want to stay here for a second longer. He would definitely wash himself a few more times when he went back.
The footsteps slowly faded away, and Su Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief.
This hurdle was finally passed.
The Canglan Sea Guard returned to the deck and wrote a fine ticket. “Poor transportation environment, deduct ten mid-grade spiritual crystals.”
Old Li knew very well that this Canglan Sea Guard just wanted to find a reason to deduct money.
But he also knew that paying this money would solve the matter.
Old Li pretended to be very pained and handed over ten mid-grade spiritual crystals, and the matter was considered over.
“Alright, be careful next time.”
The Canglan Sea Guard left Old Li’s ship. The engine started, and Old Li’s ship was allowed to leave the Canglan waters.
After confirming that the Canglan Sea Guard had left, Old Li returned below deck and signaled that Su Lingxi and the others could come out.
Su Lingxi restored her male appearance, covered her nose, and crawled out of the fish hold in a sorry state. Then she helped Yun Qianrou, who looked uncomfortable, out.
Old Wang was also in a sorry state.
“Sorry everyone, the situation is special, please bear with it.”
“But after passing the Canglan Sea Guard, we are considered to have left the Canglan Nation. You don’t have to stay down there anymore.”
Although the few people were in a sorry state, they were glad to have escaped this calamity.
