The children are usually not competitive, but they have an extremely strong competitive spirit. They competed for nearly fifty minutes and none of them lost.
Jiang Shuyin promised them all a reward, and only then did the children smile.
The children couldn't breathe underwater and had to return to the safe house.
As soon as they stepped out of their room, a flight attendant came to remind them: "The wind and rain outside are too strong right now, so you can only move around inside the cabin. There is no risk at this level, so please don't worry."
Jiang Shu asked, "Are all the doors and windows connecting to the outside closed?"
The flight attendant assumed she was worried about the ship's safety measures and patiently replied, "Don't worry, everything is securely closed, there won't be any leaks."
She's said this same thing at least a hundred times today.
Jiang Shu nodded and pulled Xing Chen past her upstairs.
There were quite a few people upstairs, sipping their tea and watching the towering waves outside the window. The sounds outside were blocked out, and inside, there were soft and beautiful melodies. Jiang Shuyin ordered a cup of strong tea to refresh herself. She hadn't slept at all last night while staring at the sinking stars.
I took a small sip, raised my wrist to check the distance between the two points, and found it was already very close to the shortest distance.
She drank the tea in one gulp, and the people around her glanced at her from head to toe, probably thinking: Why is this person like this?
Then, slowly blow away the fragrant steam from the teacup, take a sip, let the tea flow between your teeth and tongue, savor the flavor before swallowing and opening your eyes.
Jiang Shuyin didn't get to appreciate the man's superb tea-tasting skills; she was busy using her mental power to crack the door lock.

Inside the cruise ship suite, the tattooed girl was surrounded by a group of people, including not only classmates and friends, but also two relatives. They felt that their dignity as superior people had been offended when they saw her disheveled appearance yesterday. If they didn't teach that girl a lesson, who would take them seriously in the future?
“I know where the key to the inner cabin is. When she falls asleep at night, I will use the key to open the door, strip her clothes off, and take nude photos.”
"If she doesn't stuff a rag in your mouth, you're better off stuffing Young Master Huang's stinky socks in there."
The tattooed girl laughed so hard she almost fell over, giving a thumbs-up and exclaiming, "Wow, that's really something! Young Master Huang's socks must stink to death! Who knows how many bacteria and fungi are lurking around? Won't he get bad breath? Hahahaha..."
These people weren't exactly kind to begin with, and the first couple of days on the ship were just novel; they were quite boring.
But they are good at "finding joy in hardship" and were already prepared to stir up trouble and have fun.
The more arrogant and self-important a person is, the more excited they become to see them wail and beg for mercy after their spines have been broken.
That night, they sneaked into Jiang Shuyin's room and found it empty, which sent a chill down their spines.
The tattooed man spoke up: "Go check next door, see if they're sleeping together."
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
They quickly moved to another location and opened Xingchen's room in the same manner.
"Nobody's here."
The tattooed man was speechless: "How is that possible? At this time, normal people are sleeping in their rooms."
Some of them were a bit timid and urged their companions, "This is too creepy. Let's leave quickly. In the infinite horror novels I've read, the inner cabins are high-risk areas where ghosts and monsters hunt."
"Let's go, let's go." Rich people value their lives, so they went back the next day to check openly. It's impossible for it to be haunted in broad daylight, right?
The doors to both rooms were still open, indicating that the person had not yet returned.
The group exchanged glances, pursed their lips, and slunk back to their room, sitting together in utter silence.
The tattooed man's eyes darted around uncertainly: "Shall we go check again tonight? If it doesn't work, we'll call the police."
Huang Shao interjected, "No, it's too dangerous at night. Let's go for a walk after dinner." Everyone agreed.
Dinner was at 5:30 pm, and it was not yet 6 pm when we arrived.
The tattooed man walked in front, peered into the doorway, and turned around: "Let's call the police."
After verifying the list, the train police added Jiang Shuyin's name and the unidentified person she brought to the missing persons list and handed them over to the search and rescue team.
The matter was left unresolved, but the tattooed man recalled what Jiang Shuyin had said that day, and that timid and suspicious man who loved reading TVB novels.
At this time, Jiang Shuyin, who had been away from the ship for a day, had arrived at the sea area occupied by the Merfolk. They had driven away the large marine life in the vicinity and planted many harmless plants for ornamental purposes.
The seabed is cold and dark. Chief Chunhua fostered the growth of bioluminescent plants and took in creatures that provided heat. They quickly settled into their new home, which consisted of small stone houses decorated with seaweed and flowering vines.
As soon as Xingchen got home, he couldn't help but speed up, leaving Jiang Shuyin a great distance behind him.
Not long after he disappeared from sight, the high priest and the saintess arrived. The former remained expressionless, while the latter's eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to tear her to pieces.
"You actually dared to come," the saintess mocked.
Jiang Shu ignored her and looked at the High Priest: "Can we go see Alvin now?"
The high priest's gills twitched: "Come with me."
The merfolk were very fast, and the high priest did not slow down, making it somewhat difficult for Jiang Shuyin to keep up.
Upon seeing the palace, which was restored to its original size, Jiang Shuyin sensed that the merfolk were sentimental. The high priest then led Jiang Shuyin to the clan leader and took his leave.
“Alvin’s life could not be saved even by the Heart of the Sea King. He knew he had to return to the embrace of the Sea God, so he asked me to invite you here.”
Whether it was her imagination or not, the luster on the merman chieftain's hair seemed to have dimmed considerably.
The chieftain opened the side room next to the palace. In the vast space, there was only a coral bed, on which lay a slender body, its fish tail trailing on the ground, its scales falling like snowflakes.
A large belly stands erect on its shriveled, dull body; the skin of its belly is so translucent under light that the eggs inside are almost visible.
"He's asleep. Let's go outside and talk." The clan chief gently closed the door.
Jiang Shuyin: "Let's talk about it here."
She simply couldn't understand why Alvin would do such a thing. Wasn't his own life important enough?
Seeing his lifeless state now, she felt nothing but anger.
Why sacrifice yourself? Who would be happy doing this? What's the point?
Jiang Shuyin felt a little sad. Was it because no one taught Alvin to love himself when he was young?
"Can you tell me about Alvin's past?"
