Lu Wu didn't quite understand what the two were talking about.
I glanced in the direction Shan Hanzhi was pointing and saw the sea shimmering in the early morning sun.
The azure sea surrounds most of Yuanhai City, making it peaceful and beautiful.
Could it be that the two cities have joined forces to go fishing at sea?
She wanted a share of the big fish.
Shan Hanzhi waited until Lu Wu was about to close up shop before Cang Heguang leisurely got up and decided to go find Shan Ji.
As Boss Lu's guardian, no matter where we are, we must always remember our duty and stand guard until the very end.
...
At the city lord's mansion, Shan Ji looked at the two pancakes on the table, then patted her rumbling stomach and cast a questioning glance at Shan Hanzhi.
"Isn't it supposed to be five pancakes?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Hanzhi knew that her master was truly unaware that Boss Lu had implemented purchase restrictions.
She explained, and Shan Ji said she understood before asking further questions.
"You ate two portions, left two portions for me, where's the last one?"
She's good at math; five minus two leaves three, right?
"It was Lord Cang who ate it. After I relayed the message, Lord Cang said that he would only come over if I gave him a portion of the pancake."
"I know the matter is urgent, so I have no choice but to agree."
Dan Hanzhi shifted the blame onto Cang Heguang, and then wiped the corner of her mouth guiltily.
The City Lord of Cangcheng did eat the missing pancake, but she ate only half of it.
In fact, it was Cang and Guang who suggested that the two of them share the food, and then criticize him in front of Danji, which would clear her of suspicion.
In fact, Shan Ji did believe it.
His own apprentice wouldn't do something like that, but Cang He Guang really could.
With lightning speed, Shan Ji gathered up the pancakes on the table, sat up straight, and narrowed her phoenix eyes, which shone with a cold light.
"They're coming again."
"I guessed it."
Their gazes met, and both were solemn.
"What did you guess? Can someone explain it to me?"
The conversation between the two left Lu Wu, who was spying on them, completely confused.
Don't get me wrong, she's not a pervert, and she's not capable of spying on two city lords.
Grandpa Li did all of this!
In the courtyard where she rested, a water screen was set up, displaying the meeting between the two city lords.
Lu Wu condemned the collusion between Cang and the kidnapper.
Grandpa Li next to her was eating pancakes and drinking health tea, looking very content.
"The sea creatures are coming again."
Grandpa Li explained slowly.
Sea creatures?
Lu Wu was no stranger to this term, as it frequently appeared in various novels.
But she was wondering if this "sea creature" referred to the mermaid race, or SpongeBob and Patrick.
If it's the latter, could she catch a Mr. Krabs to make a delicious Krabby Patty?
She wished that after this mission ended, the system would reward her with a secret recipe for a delicious crab burger.
Using giant sea crabs to make crab burgers is a perfect match!
However, Lu Wu knew very well that the sea race that could make the two city lords look so serious could not be friendly with the human race, and might even be hostile.
"Wasn't there an agreement after the tsunami ten years ago that they were not allowed to go ashore again for a hundred years?"
Cang Heguang leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the handle as he asked a question.
"Yes, but the message they sent this time is not to attack us, but rather to seek peace."
Shan Ji explained, but a cold smile played on her lips: "But I don't believe it."
The accident in Xiaohai Village was caused by those sea creatures going ashore without permission. She owed Xiaohai Village something for this happening in her jurisdiction.
Therefore, she tacitly approved of Uncle Xia's miracle and even cooperated with him to downplay the presence of Xiaohai Village.
But as time went on, seeing those ghost villagers living like human beings, that sense of guilt accumulated.
It was Lu Wu's appearance that made her determined to send the villagers away.
But then, the sea creatures started making a move again.
Dan Ji preferred conspiracy theories to believing that the sea race and the human race could live in harmony.
How could a race that is inherently ferocious and murderous change so easily?
Unless yet another miracle occurs.
"when?"
Competition between cities is competition, but as fellow human beings, Cang and Guang will not joke about matters of principle.
"It is said to be after the Great Competition of the Prodigies."
Upon hearing this, Cang Heguang also gave a cold laugh.
"They seem to know a lot about our affairs."
Due to the different environment, it is difficult for humans to live underwater. Apart from those top-level powerful beings, ordinary cultivators simply cannot withstand the high pressure of the seabed.
They also tried sending people to explore the seabed, but ultimately returned empty-handed.
That is why the sea creatures are so rampant.
Based on their conversation and Grandpa Li's explanation, Lu Wu learned that another race, called the Sea Clan, lived in the seabed of the Qingyuan Realm.
They look similar to humans, but with some features of sea creatures.
For example, fish fins on the ears, gills on the neck, and external features such as octopus tentacles and turtle shells.
It's easy to tell.
As for appearance, there are both beautiful and ugly.
Perhaps due to living in the high-pressure environment of the deep sea, sea creatures are naturally warlike. If monsters can be tamed, then sea creatures have no chance of doing so.
This section specifically names the Beast Taming Sect, which has yet to win a single game in the Heavenly Pride Competition.
They had secretly experimented with taming the sea creatures as demonic beasts, but the sea creatures went berserk and slaughtered those few whimsical disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
Sea creatures are born with the ability to control water, and they often cause tsunamis, which pose a great threat to ordinary people along the coast.
