Chapter 1338: I Was Wrong

“Yes, yes,” the two team members replied and hurried forward to help him up. “Captain, can you still walk? Should I carry you?”

“Get lost!” Captain Han was furious.

He had only been beaten up. His legs were not crippled. Did they have to carry him?

He looked up at An Jiuyue, who had ignored him after beating him up and continued fiddling with the herbs.

“You… Just wait.”

After saying that, he left in a sorry state.

An Jiuyue glanced at Captain Han’s back and chuckled before lowering her head to organize her herbs.

The waiter was speechless.

Did Captain Han enjoy abuse? Otherwise, why would he dare to speak like this after being beaten up?

These two parties were clearly different in strength. An Jiuyue was capable of crushing Captain Han and the other two, even if she was just one woman.

She was already so capable on her own. If her husband returned and they fought together, Captain Han’s entire team would be buried on the spot. How could Captain Han still trash talk? He must not have been thrashed severely enough.

Soon, Qian Jiyun returned. Seeing that An Jiuyue was still refining medicine, he did not disturb her. Instead, he bought some takeout pastries from the waiter.

They were heading out to Beiyuan Lake to hunt the Deepwater Shark Dragon for its inner core, so they couldn’t return on the same day.

He had to prepare some food. He gave the waiter an inner core and asked him to buy some snacks nearby that could be packed and carried along.

After receiving the inner core, the waiter’s eyes widened like copper bells. He was overjoyed and went to buy the snacks.

Medicinal pill refinement required silence. An Jiuyue noticed that he had returned, but she said nothing to him.

After she was done, she looked up at Qian Jiyun and asked, “Have you found a team?”

“I did. I found a more obedient one,” Qian Jiyun replied.

“Mhm,” An Jiuyue replied.

In her opinion, she did not need a crew of experts. Instead, she needed a captain who would listen to them.

“What do we need?”

“I’ll handle the fighting. You just need to provide the medicine,” Qian Jiyun replied.

“Ha!” An Jiuyue could not help but laugh.

If they were responsible for the fighting and medicine, the team would just be in charge of the boat and transporting them to and from Beiyuan Lake in search of the Deepwater Shark Dragon, right?

“I can provide medicine and also contribute to fighting,” she clarified.

“I was wrong.” Qian Jiyun touched his nose and apologized.

He instinctively wanted to protect An Jiuyue so that she could refrain from attacking, if possible. However, this was ideal for her training. Hence, he ought to think about how he could protect An Jiuyue so that she could train more efficiently and without getting hurt.

“I’ve asked the waiter to buy food. We’ll set off when he returns. The crew is still a distance away,” he said.

“Okay,” An Jiuyue replied and kept the medicinal pills refined in the pill furnace in a porcelain bottle.

“Did you ask how long it would take to set off from the shore to the inner lake?” she asked.

“Two days,” Qian Jiyun replied.

Beiyuan Lake was more like a sea than a lake—it was very vast. Otherwise, it would not be the Deepwater Shark Dragon’s habitat..
