Chapter 344 – Fright on board (3)
Beichen Ying expressed that he clearly understood her words, and very kindheartedly thoroughly explained it once for her: “The body of an Amethyst Thorned fish contains rich spirit power. The spirit power from one Amethyst Thorned fish has the same amount of spirit power as one piece of green-colored crystal stone. As a result, everyone on the continent wants to catch an Amethyst Thorned fish.”
Beichen Ying paused for a moment, then continued to explain: “However, the Amethyst Thorned fish is very clever and rarely can be seen normally. Only on the night of July 15th would they gather around the periphery of the Amethyst Thorned Island on the East Sea. Thus, if you want to capture an Amethyst Thorned fish, this opportunity only comes once a year.”
No wonder initially, when she and Nangong Liuyun had arrived, Anye Ming had said that sentence in complaint. So as it turned out, today’s mission was to capture some Amethyst Thorned fishes.
“Why would it only happen on the day of July 15th?” Su Luo clearly did not understand. Was July 15th a very special day?
“Nobody knows the answer to this mystery. If people know, then very likely no one needs to wait for this day every year.” Beichen Ying told it as it is.
“Will there be a lot of people going?” Su Luo curiously asked.
One Amethyst Thorned fish was equivalent to the spirit power in a green-colored crystal stone.
A green-colored crystal stone on the continent was quite rare. The market price was five thousand gold coins. Then, this once a year gathering to catch fish ought to be very lively and bustling with excitement, right?
“No, the number of people would unlikely be many.” Beichen Ying explained, “It’s because not just everyone can travel across the areas of water filled with waterspouts to reach the Amethyst Thorned Island. There are only a few luxurious yachts in the entire Eastern Ling empire that can cross the waterspouts.”
Waterspouts? Su Luo was just about to ask, but saw Nangong Liuyun suddenly open his phoenix eyes. A cold ray of light flashed through his eyes. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and with one swoop, he immediately scooped Su Luo into his embrace.
“You——” Su Luo hadn’t finished speaking when she felt a severe jolt come from the hull of the ship.
Su Luo was unable to stand stably, all of a sudden, she bumped into Nangong Liuyun’s extremely strong chest. Her nose was extremely sore from knocking into him, that blood almost flowed from her nose.
Su Luo was still considered to be one of the lucky ones. On the side, those oriole- and swallow-like women who were brought onboard by Beichen Ying, they were originally sitting on the chairs chatting, now, they were sent flying into mid-air by the violent hit on the boat.
When the yacht dropped with the force, they were all mercilessly thrown onto the deck. This fall nearly shattered all the bones in their bodies into pieces. They moaned unceasingly for a very long time; they weren’t able to crawl up.
However, it was still unfinished.
The yacht dropped down and very quickly, was lifted high up to float above, almost flying into mid-air. And once again, it heavily dropped onto the water’s surface, and it continuously looped in this cycle of motion. The deck was shaking so violently such that simply nobody could stand on it.
Those few oriole- and swallow-like women, whose bodies still hadn’t crawled up, were once again ruthlessly thrown up high and again fell to the deck. They just resembled some playthings that nature was toying with in the palm of its hand.
Between these powerful shakes, the yacht again become stable.
A heavy and imposing expression flashed through both Anye Ming and Lan Xuan’s face at this time. Both of them, with very quick steps, walked towards the front of the deck. Beichen Ying also followed after them. He walked a few steps and again turned sideways to look at Nangong Liuyun: “Is second older brother not coming?”
Nangong Liuyun calmly and composedly played with Su Luo’s hair, and leisurely said: “The two of them are more than sufficient.”
Beichen Ying forced a smile and rubbed his nose. He made a wry face towards Su Luo and happily took off towards the two people with a bounce.
It seemed to Su Luo, this president of the Mercenary Union was practically the big boy next door that never grew up.
Seeing that Beichen Ying had left, Su Luo turned her head around to ask curiously: “Is this here the areas of water with waterspouts?”
Nangong Liuyun was calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos as he tidied up her slightly disarrayed hair for her. There was a touch of a tenderness on his face, as he shallowly smiled and said: “This is merely the beginning and nothing more. Are you afraid?”
Thanks 🙂
Thank you
15th July (or technically the English translation) 15th day of the 7th month is reputed to be the day where the moon is the brightest.
Just some trivia. Learned that in Parasite Eve 2 🙂
Thxs for the chapter.
