Seeing him like this, Shang Hongyu felt bad instead: "I should be the one apologizing. You have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, I would probably be in grave danger by now. How would I have the chance to sit here and eat so leisurely? Moreover, you have given me hope for revenge. I should thank you, not complain."
“You don’t need to suppress your emotions like this. After going through so much and with the future so uncertain, it’s normal for you to feel uneasy,” Zuan said gently. “You are Liuyu’s older sister, and I will definitely do my best to help you. Even if the two things really conflict, I will definitely find a way to arrange things for you.”
Shang Hongyu held her wine glass, looking at him with a half-smile. Her beautiful eyes seemed even more captivating through the glass: "If I weren't Liuyu's sister, would you have just abandoned me?"
Zuan smiled slightly: "We're friends now, so why would I abandon my friends?"
“No wonder Liu Yu said you’re very popular with women among humans,” Shang Hongyu said, her worry turning to joy. “I like this answer. Let’s have another drink.”
Just as the two were clinking glasses, a sudden, violent shaking of the entire ship occurred, causing countless dishes to fall to the ground and shatter, accompanied by a chorus of exclamations.
Shang Hongyu was injured and almost fell over due to the swaying, but a large hand caught her in time and helped her regain her balance.
"What happened?"
"Has it run aground?"
"We're far from the shore, where would we find any reefs?"
"Could it have hit an iceberg? I read a human romance novel the other day, and it was about how the man and woman's luxury ship hit an iceberg at night after setting sail."
Do you see yourself as the male lead or the female lead?
...
Many people in the restaurant started discussing it, but Shang Hongyu's expression was particularly solemn.
It should be noted that this kind of ship was specially built by the sea race to transport guests from all directions to communicate with the Dragon Palace. It represents the face of the sea race, so the entire ship is made of the finest materials. It is not only equipped with various powerful weapons, but also has many top-notch magic arrays. Even the sailors are all guys with considerable cultivation.
With those top-notch magic arrays, even if this ship encounters a storm at sea, the passengers will feel as if they are walking on flat ground. Now that it is shaking so violently, it is not as simple as hitting a reef or crashing into a mountain.
Seeing that Zu'an was still eating calmly, Shang Hongyu was a little surprised: "Aren't you worried?"
Zaun calmly replied, "Why should I worry?"
Shang Hongyu then remembered that the guy opposite her was one of the most outstanding people in the world. If they really encountered something, it would be the enemy who should be worried.
Gazing at the composed man opposite her, she couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought. Although the Dragon King was usually majestic, his demeanor seemed to be inferior to hers.
Then another scream rang out, and a huge tentacle suddenly smashed through the restaurant window, snatching away a nearby customer with a ferocious appearance. The man exuded a strong murderous aura, clearly indicating that he had committed many bloody crimes over the years.
The man cried out in surprise, but he was also a fierce fellow. He quickly drew a large knife and slashed at the tentacle.
A murderous aura emanated from the blade, indicating that his cultivation level was not low.
But when the knife struck the tentacle, it didn't get hurt at all.
It turned out that there was a thick layer of mucus on the tentacle. When the blade touched the mucus, it dissolved and disappeared. Only the blade was left, but it was affected by the strange mucus and was deflected to the side, unable to cause enough damage to the huge tentacle.
But this attack also caused the monster some pain. Suddenly another tentacle wrapped around it. The ferocious-looking guest was about to raise his knife to attack again, but he was directly wrapped up by the tentacle.
A scream rang out, and the man dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, his entire body turning into blood. Then, each sucker on the tentacles acted like a mouth, greedily sucking up the blood. Soon, the burly man was swallowed up by the tentacles.
"The Kraken! It's the Kraken!"
The restaurant's guests were quite knowledgeable and quickly recognized the monster's origin. Their voices were filled with despair as they scrambled to escape, leaving only Zuan and Shang Hongyu sitting there.
"This isn't right. How could the Kraken of the North Sea appear here?" Shang Hongyu's red lips parted slightly, her expression suggesting she had learned something unbelievable.
