Chapter 173 Don't Insult Her Personality

The fish that were about to attack could not help but stop, and strangely understood her gestures, so the fish looked at each other.

What's the matter, is this two-legged fish communicating with them?

"Boss, what does she mean? Is she talking to us?"

"No way, she is a human, and we are fish, from different races, can't we communicate?"

"Then what does she mean? Let us eat her quickly?"

Xu Muhua: You old fool! I clearly told you not to eat me!

There was no way, she had to continue to gesture.

She first pointed at them with her finger, then pointed at her mouth, and finally pointed at her ears. She said that she could indeed understand what they said and could communicate with them, but she was under the water and couldn't speak.

Several big fish huddled together, mumbling something, but soon one of them swam towards her, opened its mouth, and spit out a bead.

Xu Muhua subconsciously reached out to catch the bead.

The big fish that spit out the bead motioned for her to swallow it... Xu Muhua looked disgusted and resistant.

What could she swallow? What if it was poison? And she was asked to swallow the bead right after it was spit out... Oh, isn't that too disgusting?

She didn't want to swallow it, that wouldn't work!

Feeling that she was deceiving the fish, the big fish's eyes turned fierce, Xu Muhua choked, and immediately closed her eyes, quickly stuffed the bead into her mouth, and then swallowed it with a hard heart.

As soon as the bead entered her stomach, she immediately felt different!

She tried it carefully and found that she could breathe underwater!

The bead was indeed useful!

She could breathe underwater, so could she talk?

She tried it: "Hi?"

Really!

She quickly seized the opportunity to prove her innocence and that she had no ill intentions towards them. She just went into the water to save people.

Huh? Where was Xu Jinyu?

It seemed like a long time had passed, but in fact it was only a few breaths. Xu Jinyu had sunk so deep that he could hardly be seen.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to catch someone!"

"Boss, why did you give her the pearl? This pearl is a treasure! Humans are greedy and vicious. With this pearl, she is just like on land in the water. What should we do if she comes ashore and brings people to catch us?"

"What are you afraid of? I can give her the pearl, and I can take it back! I'll take the pearl back after I figure it out. If she doesn't give it to me, I'll gut her!"

The boss smiled murderously, with big white teeth, just like a shark.

Xu Muhua, who didn't know that his stomach had been targeted by a fish, floated up with Xu Jinyu.

The eldest asked the questions he wanted to know. There was nothing to hide in front of the fish, so Xu Muhua said honestly: "Not only can I understand what you say, I can also understand what other animals say! Otherwise, how would I know how to communicate with you? Isn't it because of my experience?"

"If I don't drag people up again, someone will come down to look for them. How about this, let's make an appointment, and I will return the beads to you another day?"

"Are you really willing to return the beads to us?"

Xu Muhua widened her eyes, looking humiliated, "You are insulting my personality, do you know? I'm not a fish, nor a fisherman, what use do I have for your beads?"

Look at her, she has only been in the water for a while, and her skin must be wrinkled!

What's the use of the beads if she doesn't stay underwater?

That makes sense.

No species' IQ can be compared with humans, let alone fish!

So these big fish thought what she said made sense, so they let her go. They agreed to return the pearls by the Jinsha River in three days.

The people on the shore didn't know what happened in the river. Pei Shaorong had never felt that time was so difficult! She watched helplessly as Mu Hua finally got close to Xu Jinyu, but was dragged by her and struggled in the water together. In the end, both of them disappeared!

"Mu Hua! Fifth Prince, please, go and save her, she's gone, she sank!"

If you don't save her, you can't save her!

In fact, Zhao Chengye was ready to let people go into the water without her urging. He even planned to go into the water to save people himself.

As soon as his guards jumped down, Xu Muhua and Xu Jinyu emerged from the water!

"I saw Muhua, I saw Muhua! She's there, go help her!"

With the help of several guards, Xu Muhua quickly dragged the unconscious Xu Jinyu to shore.

Pei Shaorong

There were already quite a few people around, fortunately Zhao Chengye brought several guards with him, and asked them to cordon off an area nearby, so that Xu Muhua and her sister would not be watched closely by others as soon as they got ashore.

"This girl is really amazing. She stayed in the water for such a long time, but not only did she survive, she also saved her sister!"

"That's right. It's rare to find a girl who is so good at swimming!"

"This sister is lucky to have a good sister who jumped in to save her without fear of risking her own life. Otherwise, she would have died here today! Every year during the Lantern Festival, several people drown in the Jinsha River. This year, this little girl can be considered to have escaped. She is really lucky."

"Yes, yes, thanks to her sister!"

Xu Jinyu held on with one breath, and she had regained some consciousness. But when she heard the discussions of the people around her, she

fainted again without catching her breath!

Zhao Chengye saw Pei Shaorong taking off his cloak and giving it to Xu Muhua and her sister, and wanted to untie his and put it on her to prevent her from freezing. But she was also worried about being criticized, as a woman's reputation was not something to be trifled with.

"Let's send her to the clinic first!"

The group rushed to the nearest clinic as quickly as possible. Pei Shaorong's maid hurried back to the carriage to get clean clothes for her to change into, and thoughtfully bought a set of ready-made clothes for Xu Muhua and her sister.

After Xu Muhua changed into clean clothes, Shi Liu and Wu Er heard the news and rushed back - they were sent away by Xu Muhua to buy things before the accident!

Shi Liu burst into tears, regretting deeply: "I shouldn't have left the young lady..."

Wu'er was also very regretful. If she and Shi Liu were going to buy something, only one of them could go. Why did they both have to go?

"Okay, don't blame yourselves. No one would have thought of such a thing. Besides, what's the point of you staying? You can't swim, can you jump in to save people? Am I okay now?" He

was okay, but he almost got into trouble!

Shi Liu was terrified when she thought of the consequences.

"I'll go see Jin Yu. I don't know how she is. She was unconscious when she was rescued!"
