Chapter 1339: I’ll Be Asking For a Beating

Two days was an optimistic estimate. It would take more time to find the Deepwater Shark Dragon.

“There’s still time. I’ll refine a few more batches of medicinal pills on the boat.”

“There are enough pills. You don’t have to work so hard. Rest when you need to,” Qian Jiyun advised as he sat down beside her and brought a piece of pastry to her mouth.

“I know, but I still have to refine medicinal pills.” An Jiuyue took a bite of the pastry. Although she nodded, she still had to express her opinion.

“Once we’re on the boat and inside the cabin, I’ll start refining the medicinal pills in the Medicine Spirit. The pills refined inside always have a higher grade than those refined outside.”

Moreover, she could spend less effort refining medicinal pills while still cultivating. Why wouldn’t she do it?

Qian Jiyun was speechless. Was his advice about refining fewer pills in vain?

He raised his hand and patted her head gently, knowing he couldn’t convince her otherwise.

“You can refine medicinal pills, but you must also rest. Your health is the most important,” he advised again.

“Mhm,” An Jiuyue replied softly and took the pastry from his hand to eat.

Almost four hours had passed. Standing by a boat, a crew remained conflicted.

One of the crew members asked the captain, “Captain, are we really going to let Young Master Qian bring his wife with us onto the lake? Why do I feel like it’s a bad idea?”

Another crew member chimed in, “That’s right, Captain. He doesn’t know how dangerous the lake is, but we do. What if we encounter an attack from a

demonic beast? Will he help us fight the demonic beast or protect his wife?”

The captain looked at the troubled expressions on their faces and asked, “What do you think?”

Eyes lighting up, another crew member suggested, “Captain, why don’t you talk to him when he comes back? Ask him to leave his wife onshore, and we can accompany him alone onto the lake. That way, it’s a win-win situation, and we won’t be held back by having a woman with us.”

“Pft.” The captain looked at him mockingly and sneered.

Did Qian Jiyun look like he would listen to them? He chose this team over the strongest team, which belonged to Old Yan, because they seemed obedient and wouldn’t defy his orders.

The captain was certain that if they dared to suggest this to Qian Jiyun, he would immediately join another team with his wife.

“If you think this is a good idea, you can talk to Young Master Qian when he comes back later,” he said to the crew member.

“Huh?” The crew member took a step back in fear. “Captain, don’t joke with me. That won’t do. I can tell by Young Master Qian’s aura that he won’t listen to me. If I talk to him about this, I’ll be asking for a beating.”

He looked at his captain with a troubled expression, hoping that the latter would speak up instead.

Even if Qian Jiyun did not like to listen to others, he would at least listen to the captain. After all, the boat belonged to the captain.

“Ha!” The captain sneered again. “So? You don’t want to be beaten up, but you think I should go to Young Master Qian and ask for a beating? That’s quite an idea you’ve got there..”
