His appearance was exactly like that of a domesticated fish eagerly awaiting its meal, which greatly pleased Shi Wuxie.
"Sure, take it yourself."
Shi Wuxie waved his hand generously, then looked at the sail and said, "No wonder it's made of sharkskin, it really elevates the whole ship's class."
"Cough cough cough..."
Upon hearing this, the three mermaids, who were enjoying their meal, choked.
Even now, Shi Wuxie still has the mood to appreciate the texture of the sail. Shouldn't the important thing now be to figure out how to face what comes next?
Didn't he know that those sharks would soon come looking for revenge?
Such a huge target must attract a lot of hatred!
Thinking of this, the mermaids suddenly found their grilled fish less appealing. When the shark-people arrived and saw the sail, they would be so angry they would vomit blood.
The benefactor's actions were truly ruthless.
"My benefactor, why did you insist on making it into a long sail?"
Finally, one of the mermaids couldn't help but ask, "Can't we just pass by quietly on our way to find the salt crystals?"
"Was everything alright before when it was quiet and peaceful?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Wuxie gave the mermaid a cold look. "You guys assured me before that this ship could block a lot of attacks, but look what happened, it was immediately targeted by the sharks. How am I supposed to know if there are other creatures in the sea as ferocious as you?"
"Well…"
Upon hearing Shi Wuxie's words, the three mermaids were speechless for a moment, feeling only immense shame.
Of course they knew that Shi Wuxie was mocking them, but how could they have known that Shi Wuxie would be so unlucky as to encounter a shark-man whose strength was comparable to their mermaid status?
Furthermore, this is in such shallow waters. Normally, sharks operate in the deep sea!
"So, I use this sail mainly for deterrence."
Seeing that they remained silent, Shi Wuxie continued, "If the others weaker than the Sharkmen see that I have killed the Sharkmen prince, they will definitely not dare to act recklessly. Wouldn't that save a lot of unnecessary trouble?"
"That makes a lot of sense."
Upon hearing this, the mermaids thought about it and agreed that it was indeed true. They also agreed with Shi Wuxie's words. With this sharkskin around, other creatures would not dare to come and court death.
However, avoiding harassment and attracting retaliation from the Shark Clan are two completely different things.
"Alright, why are you all making such a long face?"
Shi Wuxie shrugged nonchalantly, eating his grilled fish while admiring the sails hoisted high—his trophy. "Even if the sky falls, I'll still take care of it. You guys can just enjoy your grilled fish."
Mermaid: "..."
Although they felt that Shi Wuxie was talking without understanding the situation, the damage was already done, and there was no use in regretting it. They could only hope that the news would spread slowly so that they could complete their missions and leave as soon as possible.
The sooner they leave Shi Wuxie, the sooner they will be safe.
Just as Shi Wuxie had predicted, after the sharkskin was attached, there were no further attacks, and the sea was eerily calm.
However, the calm before our eyes is only on the surface; beneath the surface, the sea is already turbulent.
