While Lianxing was immersed in the happiness of being nestled in Chu Qinghe's arms and being instinctively held by him, on the deck, as Murong Longcheng's walnut-sized elixir bottle fell to the ground, the entire porcelain bottle shattered instantly, and plumes of thick green smoke surged and spread rapidly.
As he took a light sniff, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow and a look of interest appeared in his eyes as the thick smoke entered his nostrils.
At the same time, Jellyfish Yin Ji had already arrived in a flash. Her true energy surged around her, quickly tearing apart the protective energy generated by her rapid movement.
Just as she was about to rush in, Jellyfish Yin Ji flicked her long sleeves, and her true energy surged, causing gusts of energy to rise up like a whirlwind, quickly dispersing the green poisonous smoke and revealing Murong Longcheng, who was leaping into the air carrying Murong Fu.
It was as if they had anticipated this move by the Jellyfish Princess.
The moment the smoke dissipated, Murong Longcheng flicked his right hand and threw another porcelain bottle at Jellyfish Yin Ji.
When the porcelain bottle was less than ten feet away from the Water Mother Yin Ji, a burst of energy suddenly shot out from Murong Longcheng's index finger and landed on the porcelain bottle.
In an instant, a large cloud of green smoke appeared again in front of Jellyfish Yin Ji.
However, the moment the green smoke appeared, Jellyfish Yin Ji, surrounded by true energy, plunged headfirst into the green smoke without thinking and then burst out from it.
As soon as she emerged from the smoke and her gaze locked onto Murong Longcheng, Jellyfish Yin Ji raised one hand, and sword energy burst forth from her five fingers, mixed with her own true energy and the surrounding water flow, forming a giant sword energy two zhang long that blasted towards Murong Longcheng.
Seeing this, Murong Longcheng couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Crazy woman."
This cloud of green smoke clearly contains toxins.
When a normal person sees this green smoke, they would stand aside for their own safety. They wouldn't be as reckless as Jellyfish Yin Ji, who rushed in without thinking.
In response, Murong Longcheng could only quickly throw Murong Fu far away, then forcefully rotate his body in mid-air to use the "Star Shift" technique to absorb the two-zhang-long sword energy of the Water Mother Yin Ji before unleashing it again to bombard the Water Mother Yin Ji.
This time, however, as the sword energy burst forth from his body and rushed towards the Water Mother Yin Ji, Murong Longcheng felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was clearly already injured.
However, Murong Longcheng had no time to care about his injuries.
After his body fell rapidly, he lightly touched the water's surface with his toes and then leaped up again to grab Murong Fu in mid-air before quickly disappearing into the distance on the water.
Seeing this, after dodging the two-zhang-long sword energy in front of her, Shui Mu Yin Ji snorted coldly and mobilized her true energy to continue chasing.
"Forget it, there's no need to chase after it."
However, before Jellyfish Yin Ji could make a move, Chu Qinghe's somewhat lazy voice rang out from below.
The moment the sound reached her ears, Jellyfish Yin Ji didn't even think. With two bursts of sword energy beneath her feet, she flashed from the air to Chu Qinghe's side.
However, he immediately obeyed Chu Qinghe's words.
She's incredibly well-behaved.
After the jellyfish Yin Ji disembarked, Chu Qinghe glanced at the people in the surrounding cabins. After beckoning everyone over, Chu Qinghe gently fanned himself with his folding fan a few times.
After all, when Jellyfish Yin Ji blew away the poisonous smoke, everyone on the ship was affected by it.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's actions, Shuimu Yinji couldn't help but reveal a sweet smile.
This is why Jellyfish Yin Ji ignored the poisons that Murong Longcheng had produced.
After all, when it comes to drugs, your own man is the best.
After the energy had passed through these people and neutralized their poison, Chu Qinghe spoke to the ship's owner, who was staring at the holes on the deck that Murong Fu had previously stepped on and looked pained, and said, "Don't worry, when we go back tomorrow, we'll compensate you for the damaged parts."
Upon hearing that Chu Qinghe was willing to pay compensation, the owner of the large ship finally smiled again.
After the ship's owner and the other crew members left, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but ask, "May I ask, Young Master Zhao, why did you attack my cousin just now?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan gave Wang Yuyan a strange look and said, "Shouldn't you ask your cousin why he's on this ship first?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Wang Yuyan's stunned expression, Qu Feiyan muttered, "She really doesn't understand anything."
Then, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe nodded lazily in acknowledgment.
A moment later, after learning from Qu Feiyan that Murong Fu had been following the large ship since the beginning of the Mantuo Manor, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but ask, "Cousin's grandfather died thirty years ago, how could he have been hiding in Mantuo Manor with my cousin all this time?"
In response to Wang Yuyan's words, Qu Feiyan said irritably, "Of course he faked his death."
As she spoke, Qu Feiyan looked at Chu Qinghe as if she had just thought of something and said, "Young Master, since Murong Longcheng faked his death, then Murong Fu's father, Murong Bo, must also be alive, right?"
Chu Qinghe nodded in acknowledgment.
At this moment, Wang Yuyan asked, "Since my cousin and the others were already inside Mantuo Manor, why did they only show up after we left?"
Seeing that Wang Yuyan still didn't understand, Lin Shiyin sighed and explained, "Miss Wang, don't you understand? That Yun Zhonghe was deliberately let in by Murong Fu. If I'm not mistaken, he probably wanted to reappear and save you when you were in danger, so that he could put on a show of a hero saving a beauty."
