When Shui Xinlan and the others reappeared, each of them was being pinched by about a dozen crabs.
They looked rather comical; you could barely see them anymore.
Everyone's eyes twitched; the little princess was really going all out for a bite to eat.
Yan Jin asked curiously, "Princess, did the crabs get on you by themselves, or did you help them get them on?"
"I carried it myself. It's easier to carry this way and won't affect our speed," Shui Xinlan replied naturally, completely unaware that she had done anything wrong.
Yan Jin's eyes twitched. "Doesn't this hurt you?"
"It hurts a little, but it's still within an acceptable range, it's okay," the little princess chuckled.
Yan Jin finally couldn't help but turn to Shui Jianglan, who was silent beside her, and ask, "Your Highness, are all the people of your water tribe so... equal in intelligence?"
"No, it's just a few missing parts," Shui Jianglan said with a forced smile.
"A few, just a portion?" Yan Jin didn't believe it. There were already so many people here, how could there only be a few in total?
Shui Jianglan's face was as dark as it could possibly be, but she still replied helplessly, "I brought most of them."
Upon hearing this, Yan Jin straightened up, trying to keep her expression to a minimum. "Then you need to work on your judgment."
"Hehe..." Kujin couldn't help but laugh out loud under Shui Jianglan's dark gaze.
This is not just Kukin's feeling.
The entire internet is now laughing hysterically because of these few words from the two of them.
"It's a bit unethical, but I can't help but laugh. This taste... it's truly..."
"The First Prince was betrayed and killed by his teammates, ha..."
"His intelligence is worrying."
"Haha... Let me laugh some more, my stomach hurts so much, how did they do that? So silly and stupid."
They steamed the crabs again, and this time, because there were so many crabs, everyone ate until their bellies were round, and then they leaned against the rocks to rest, completely satisfied.
Sure enough, it's easy to feel sleepy after a full meal.
After resting and regrouping for a while, Yan Jin said to Shui Jianglan, "Alright, it's getting late, we need to continue on our way, let's say goodbye here."
"What do you mean 'don't go'? No, we're not going to go!" Shui Xinlan got excited when she heard that they were going to separate. She had finally found some delicious food and had someone who could cook it. How could they just part ways like this?
Thinking of this, Shui Xinlan suddenly became alert and her mind raced. "Anyway, we're going to the same destination, so let's travel together. That way, we'll have a better chance of winning."
This time, Shui Jianglan didn't say anything, because he thought the same thing, so he didn't stop Shui Xinlan from saying that.
"We're competitors, so it's best not to get too close." Yan Jin refused without hesitation. She was joking; while the chances of winning might be higher, the risk of exposure would also be greater.
"If you're afraid of competition, that's fine. We value participation. If we all reach the finish line together, I'll let you go ahead of us. Is that alright?"
"It's still inconvenient." Yan Jin continued to shake her head.
"Why?" Shui Xinlan was puzzled. She was no longer in competition with them, so why was it still not working?
"Because we have mounts."
"Wh-what?" Shui Xinlan was stunned, her mind couldn't process what she meant by a mount.
"Hmph, you pig. Come here," Yan Jin called out.
Suddenly, a humming sound came from the ground, along with the rapid, vibrating sound of hooves approaching.
