Chapter 364: Chapter 362: With Sister around, Xuan’er isn’t afraid_1
Su Qingluo and Little Kingfisher continued on their journey.
As guided by Little Kingfisher, they found more than one sunken ship, and in the silt discovered numerous ancient gold and silver jewels, jade and agate objects, filling up the Storage Ring.
As for the boxes of gold that Little Kingfisher wished for, by the time of the sunset, neither person nor bird found anything when they surfaced.
When Su Qingluo emerged from the water, her hair and clothes were completely dry, leaving Wang Meng and Shitou dumbfounded and once again in awe of their mysterious little master’s abilities.
“Sister, are there any man-eating big fish in the river?”
Little Prince, being a child, was very curious about the unknown and seeing his sister return safely, his excitement gave way to intense curiosity.
“Yes.”
Su Qingluo was very pleased that Little Prince didn’t cry while she was away from the boat for quite a while.
“There are man-eating big fish?”
Wang Meng and Shitou, who were also quite young, were interested when she said this, and all four of their eyes stared at her.
“There are giant octopuses in the depths that can spit out black ink when encountering strong enemies, and they will occasionally attack humans.”
“There are also anacondas, huge snakes that can easily destroy a small boat and swallow an adult whole.”
“The electric eel is very threatening, too, as it releases an electric current that can make people lose consciousness in a matter of seconds and, in severe cases, kill on the spot.”
Su Qingluo did not disappoint them, listing all the dangerous fish she had observed in the riverbed and describing them in detail.
“Ahem, how terrifying.”
Upon hearing about the anaconda that eats people, Shitou’s face turned pale, he had difficulty breathing, and his stomach churned with acid.
Wang Meng was slightly better, as he had seen more of the world while following Su Qingluo, and having witnessed the three giant snakes earlier made the anaconda less frightening.
Contrastingly, Little Prince appeared calm and composed, his quiet demeanor surprising.
“Xuan’er, are you not afraid of the big fish in the water?”
Su Qingluo asked with a smile, curious about Little Prince’s reaction.
“As long as sister is here, Xuan’er is not afraid.”
“Awoo.”
Little Prince hugged the little leopard cub, and both seemed to let out a soft, cute sound simultaneously, making Su Qingluo’s eyes curve with laughter.
Dinner was still fish, but for Little Prince’s health, Su Qingluo gathered fresh wild vegetables and mushrooms from the riverside forest.
The addition of vegetables and mushrooms made the fish soup even more delicious, and the four children enjoyed their meal with glee.
As the sun set, the splendid glow illuminated the horizon, making the view of the sunset from the drifting boat even more gorgeous.
The four children floated downstream, laughing and joking from time to time, their cheerful laughter carried by the wind, attracting the attention of passengers on passing boats, who looked back in wonder.
The black awning boat continued to drift for some time as night fell deeper.
Su Qingluo hung two lanterns on both sides of the cabin to illuminate the boat for nighttime travelers, preventing any incoming passenger boats from accidentally crashing into the black awning boat in the dark.
“Master, where are we staying tonight? It’s getting dark, and if we don’t find a place to sleep soon, we’ll have to spend the night in the wilderness.”
Seeing her hang the lanterns in the cabin, Shitou nervously tightened his grip on the boat railing as he looked at the raging river under the night sky.
“We’ll sleep on the boat. The patients in Medicine King Valley are in urgent need of help, and we must get there as soon as possible without wasting time on the road.”
Su Qingluo’s eyes flashed as they swept over Shitou’s slightly fearful face, reassuring him quietly.
