They arrived at the reef officially at noon the next day. The reef was very dense. From afar, you can see the black reef showing a sharp point on the surface of the water. Occasionally there were seagulls resting on it.

Only a small part of the surface was exposed. Most of the reef was lurking under the water, waiting for passing ships to drive into the reef where they would destroy the bilge of the ship. It would sink in a second.

In the vast ocean, looking out, it was full of sea water. Once the ship sank, a boatman could do nothing but drown.

Therefore, the reef was very dangerous for ships passing by. In terms of the number of ships submerged by a reef group, it was even more than ships submerged by a tornado.

Before entering the reef, Feng Lan was terrified. In this group of reefs, there was a safe channel that could accommodate large ships. The veterans who often used this channel were naturally very skilled. However, for newcomers like him, if they were not careful they would be buried under the sea.

Feng Lan was very scared. There were a bunch of people in his family relying on him. If one could live, who would willingly die?

He made a lot of psychological preparations before embarking on this channel. After all, as soon as the ship drove in, there was no turning back. He could only go forth all the way. He could either drown or go out safely.

Compared to Feng Lan, Shao Qing and the others were calm. First, they didn’t know how to sail. They would be useless even if they were nervous. Anyways, they couldn’t help Feng Lan. Secondly, they still didn’t know much about the reefs and how scary they were.

The sea is tolerant and terrifying. When first entering the reef, it was relatively smooth. Feng Lan carefully followed the map and travelled along the safe channel, fearing that he would take a wrong step.

Shao Qing was lying on the railing of the deck and was on look out. On both sides, she could see a small piece of reef rising out of the water. Occasionally, she could see wooden boards hanging on the reef, or things like tattered clothing. Luckily, she didn’t see the bones of who knows what.

Who knows how long has passed. The bones were already the kind of decayed white that if they were touched it would instantly turn into powder.

They were probably from the ships that sank in this area before. After years of weathering, they have become what they are today.

Shao Qing carefully observed for a while. Yan Qiyue took half of the watermelon and gave it to her to eat. She held the watermelon, took a spoon, and began to eat the watermelon.

Halfway through the watermelon, the boat beneath her feet suddenly swayed. The sway was so strong that she was startled. The first thought was whether they had hit a rock.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Qing saw something climb up from under the boat. It crossed the guardrail and climbed onto the deck.

The wriggling tentacles were very familiar, they were clearly the squid tentacles they just ate a few days ago. The delicious taste of the squid was still lingering in her mouth. Shao Qing swallowed the watermelon in her mouth. Perhaps, there may be delicious food at noon today.

Without saying a word, she stuffed the rest of the watermelon into Yan Qiyue’s arms and jumped onto the guardrail. Looking down, she stretched her head, then a tentacle stabbed straight towards her face.

“It’s so thick … I don’t know if it will taste better with a little mustard.” Shao Qing thought about it as she bit her nails. Then she grabbed the flying octopus tentacles, then with her other hand she took a knife out and sliced it off.

Probably because the creature under the water felt pain, countless motions stirred the surface of the water, making the whole boat sway.

Feng Lan ran out from the control room, speaking eagerly: “Qing Jiejie, if it goes on like this, the ship will crash into both sides of the reef.”

Then they would be finished.

Shao Qing nodded, jumped up, and jumped straight down. The big guy in the water whipped out. His head was dark and his eyes were much bigger than fists.

So ugly… Shao Qing squeezed her nose and brought the knife down on the head of the big guy. Her goal now was to kill it directly, then turn it into lunch. Such a big octopus would last them several days.

The one she caught last time was too small, it did not satisfy her cravings at all.

Shao Qing made her moves very cheerfully and directly inserted the knife into the octopus’s head. The skin of this octopus was too thick. Once the knife was inserted, it still couldn’t pierce through its fat.

But it clearly felt pain. Thus, under its constant struggle, the tentacles beat the surface of the water creating large waves.

Shao Qing’s boat was wobbling and it looked like it was about to hit the reef. Fortunately, Feng Lan was very reliable and controlled the boat without hitting the reef.

But if this big guy was allowed to make waves, it would be inevitable for them to hit the rocks. Shao Qing frowned. It wasn’t easy to kill an octopus, but she didn’t expect that the thick skin would be so tough. This octopus was too big and she wouldn’t be able to hurt its internal organs. So even if Shao Qing’s attack hurts it, there is no way to kill it.

Shao Qing was in a bad mood for a moment. She let the vines stretch out and placed the big guy in the center and then tightened continuously. After tightening to the point where the big guy could no longer move, Shao Qing took her knife and looked at it up and down. The length of the knife was about the same as a dagger. Even if she stabbed it without a handle, she couldn’t kill this big guy.

She could only give up using the knife. Then finding the small wound that she had torn open with the knife earlier, she inserted her ten fingers.

The sharp nails broke through the big guy’s skulls until it was up to her arms. As long as Shao Qing moved her fingers, she could feel the soft flesh.

It is said that an octopus has a brain on each tentacle, but only has three hearts. Shao Qing counted while she dug around. Sure enough, there were three.

The poor big guy squirted ink continuously and blue blood poured out of his body. When it mixed into the sea water, it was indistinguishable.

After confirming that the big guy had died, Shao Qing tied his tentacles with vines and dragged him onto the deck.

The huge octopus was like a meat mountain, lying softly on the deck. Shao Qing grabbed an octopus foot and squeezed it. The sucker on it was very annoying and very sticky.

“You can eat octopus again at noon.” Shao Qing touched her nose and said very seriously: “I especially want to eat Takowasabi!”

Yan Qiyue held half a piece of watermelon and kicked the octopus: “It’s so big, how long will it take before we finish eating it? Will we get sick of it?”
“We can talk when we can’t finish it.” Shao Qing waved her hand and was already thinking about how to eat it. This octopus probably lived in the nearby waters and just came out to prey when it met them.

Shao Qing thought about this and found out that it was not that simple. Because they had grilled a lot of octopus and Shao Qing wanted to eat takowasabi, she was leaning on the railing holding the plate and eating, while watching the sea.

Then she found out that many large marine creatures were fleeing the sea.

There were groups of umbrella-shaped jellyfish, sharks, whales, various fish, and many large and medium-sized small fish that Shao Qing did not know, all running in one direction.

It looked like they were escaping for their lives.

Shao Qing felt something was wrong, so she went to the control room and asked Feng Lan. However, he was not sure what was going on. He could only guess that there might be something dangerous in this area, chasing these poor fish.

Of course, there was another terrible speculation that natural disasters such as tsunamis and eruption of volcanoes will occur soon.

Otherwise, there was really no way to explain why those fishes and marine creatures were all running in one direction like an escape.

It couldn’t be that they were all moving locations…

However, straight until the afternoon even when it became dark, no abnormalities were found.

It is not suitable to drive in the reef at night, especially when the boat driver is a novice. Feng Lan could only find a safer place to temporarily park the boat there, then drop the anchor. They would have to wait until tomorrow morning to start again.

They were used to the life of rushing during the day and resting at night, so there was nothing uncomfortable. At dinner, they drank a little wine, then went back to their rooms.

Yan Qiyue had not taken a bath for a long time and his injuries have not been completely cured. In addition, they were out at sea, so the freshwater resources were really scarce. After so many days, he had only wiped his body twice.

Tonight, being unable to bear it any longer, he acted spoiled and asked Shao Qing to wipe his back. Shao Qing pressed him against the wicker chair and placed a pot of water next to it. Using a towel moistened with water, she helped him wipe his back.
At the time, Yan Qiyue still had a serious injury because he had not taken a good rest for days and nights in order to study Er Dai’s injury. Thus his spirit and body were extremely exhausted. This is why when someone came to kidnap people, he couldn’t resist and got even more injured.

He was sliced on the back, cut where the shoulder and back were connected.

Fortunately, the wound was not very deep, it can only be regarded as a flesh injury. There was no bone damage. Plus with Yan Qiyue’s special physique, recovery was relatively fast. Now it has completely turned into a scab.

Shao Qing gently rubbed his back, wiping it very gently, especially near the wound. She didn’t dare to use a towel, so she dipped water with her fingers and wiped it over little by little.

Yan Qiyue tilted his head, leaning his head on his arms for a while. He chuckled: “Sometimes I would think, even after many years when we are all old, it would be okay even if you don’t accept me. Life is good as it is now.”

Shao Qing suddenly realized that she hadn’t told Yan Qiyue her thoughts.

To this end, Shao Qing held her chin and carefully thought about it. Especially wanting to tease Yan Qiyue, she deliberately said: “What happens if I like a man in the future and then we get married? Were you thinking of sleeping between us?”

Yan Qiyue snorted: “I will still sleep with you. At that time, I will sleep under the bed or the ceiling, just staring at you guys every night.”

Shao Qing laid on his back and laughed, her warm breath landed on Yan Qiyue’s back making him feel itchy for a moment.

Shao Qing touched his smooth, jade-like back, only to feel that the skin under her fingertips was warm. It felt nice. This made her want to touch it a second time.

Yan Qiyue’s breath was a little heavier. He closed his eyes and bit his fingertips, only to feel that his whole body was electrified. He couldn’t help saying: “What I said is true.”
“I want to hear you confess once more.” Shao Qing resisted the urge to bite his fair back and said softly: “A detailed and affectionate version.”

Yan Qiyue was poked and touched by Shao Qing again causing his toes to curl up together. He bit his fingertips fiercely before forcing himself to wake up a little bit and seriously said: “I like you. I want to marry you. I want to be nice to you. I want to be with you all my life. I want you to be happy, to be high up like a Queen. I want to see you always be worry-free and be the happiest you’ve ever been. Even if you don’t like me now, it doesn’t matter. You can go forward boldly and I will always be behind you when you look back. After you are done with gazing at the scenery in the distance, then just lower your head to look at me at your feet.”

Shao Qing asked: “What else?”

Yan Qiyue froze and said: “The happiest thing I can think of is to grow old with you. When we both get blurred vision from old age where we can’t see the other person’s appearance, we will still reach out our hands and hold onto each other.”

Shao Qing finally couldn’t hold it back and nibbled at Yan Qiyue’s raised shoulder blades, taunting mercilessly: “You have a good way of saying things. ”

“So, I’ll allow it. Marry me.”
