Lin Xiaodong laughed loudly: "You also gave me some incense! You also set my tent on fire!"
Princess Xiyun lowered her head: "Who told you to disrespect me?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and picked up the wine glass: "Come on, come on, let me toast the princess. I shouldn't have bumped into you. I admit my mistake. I hope the princess won't kill me after she goes out."
Princess Xiyun rolled her eyes at Lin Xiaodong, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
The three of them were very drunk. They went back to their rooms to wash up and then went to sleep. They didn't get up until noon the next day. The boss had already arranged the meal and they were discussing the next thing while eating.
Princess Xiyun was still drunk, frowning and pinching her forehead, and said in a daze: "I have a headache. I woke up so late."
Bai Yuquan nodded: "Yes, I still want to get up early and rush on my way. Drinking will make things worse."
Lin Xiaodong spread the treasure map on the table and said: "We are taking a shortcut. Long Yue and the others are taking the tunnel. After they get out, they have to walk along the river. Maybe we can get ahead of them."
Princess Xiyun pointed to the island: "Rent a boat to go to the island, and then what?"
Lin Xiaodong pointed to the sea and said: "Then you have to dive."
Princess Xiyun’s eyes widened: “Diving?
Do you know how deep it is?
I’m not very good at water.”
Bai Yuquan said with a smile: "You'll know how deep it is. You've already come this far. It would be a pity not to go and see. What's more, Long Yue must be running for the treasure. Let's wait for him here."
Princess Xiyun nodded: "Then let's finish our meal and set off as soon as possible. We can reach the island in the dark."
The three of them had lunch and went to the dock to rent a boat.
The pier was still crowded and noisy. As soon as the returning fishing boat sailed into the harbor, it was surrounded by fishmongers. The big white fish were very greedy.
The three people were walking aimlessly in the port. Among the shining white fish, there was a colorful one that was very conspicuous.
"What's this?"
Princess Xiyun walked over.
Lin Xiaodong and Bai Yuquan also followed. When they walked up to it, they saw that it was a stall selling corals, with a primitive-looking boat docked behind it.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Princess Xiyun's eyes shone as she squatted down, unable to resist brightly colored things.
Lin Xiaodong glanced at it and saw that the coral was indeed beautiful, like trees of various colors and shapes, some blood red, some golden, some blue, each one a unique work of art.
Princess Xiyun took a fancy to the reddest one, raised her head and asked the stall owner: "How to sell this one?"
"Two thousand taels of gold."
The stall owner replied coldly.
"ah?"
Lin Xiaodong and the other three said in unison.
Princess Xiyun was so wealthy that she was shocked. She raised her head and asked the stall owner: "Why are they sold so expensive?"
The stall owner said confidently: "This kind of pure red coral is very rare. If you pick one, you will lose one. Do you think two thousand taels of gold is expensive?"
Come back in ten days and it will be two thousand five hundred taels."
Princess Xiyun was born in a royal family and naturally knew a lot about luxury goods, so she fell in love with this vermilion coral at a glance. She didn't expect that the price was so high that even the princess couldn't afford it.
Lin Xiaodong looked up at the stall owner and frowned in confusion.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, with long hair and a long beard. His skin is vermilion, and he has strong muscles and a tall figure.
What confused Lin Xiaodong was what he was wearing. He was naked from top to bottom, except for a seaweed skirt around his waist. He was barefoot, with a dragon tattooed on his chest, and two shell earrings on his ears.
Princess Xiyun raised her head and noticed the stall owner's clothes. Suddenly her eyes lit up. She pointed at the stall owner and asked excitedly: "Are you from the Shark tribe?"
When Princess Xiyun asked this question, the stall owner's eyes sharpened. He glanced at the three of them with hostility and said coldly: "I won't sell it anymore."
Princess Xiyun was anxious: "What do you mean?"
The stall owner waved his hands impatiently: "Go, go, we won't sell it anymore!"
Princess Xiyun spoke like a machine gun: "I won't buy it! Don't worry! You are from the Shark tribe, you will go back to the island soon, right?
It just so happens that we are going there too, can you please take us there by boat?"
The stall owner originally wanted to drive people away, but when he heard what Princess Xiyun said, he froze. After thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively: "Why are you going to the Sharman Clan's territory?"
Princess Xiyun rolled her eyes: "Uh... we..." Lin Xiaodong answered: "We are going to go diving nearby."
The stall owner didn't believe it. He looked at Lin Xiaodong from head to toe and curled his lips and said, "Diving?"
There are coral reefs everywhere around the island, if you don’t want to die, just dive somewhere else.”
Princess Xiyun stamped her feet anxiously: "Just take us there! You have to go back anyway!"
The stall owner glared at Princess Xiyun and said impatiently: "You three humans came to the territory of our Shark clan. What do you want to do? Do you think we don't know?"
Princess Xiyun opened her mouth and kept blinking. She turned around and exchanged glances with Lin Xiaodong and Bai Yuquan. She didn't understand what the stall owner meant by this.
At this time, on the boat behind the stall owner, a girl got out of the wooden planks set up along the boat and the pier.
This sister is only in her early twenties and is similar to Princess Xiyun. She has thick, dark, cloud-like hair, well-proportioned facial features, healthy wheat-colored skin, and slender limbs and petite body.
The younger sister wears a pair of pink pearls on her ears, and her dressing style is similar to that of the stall owner. Her upper body is in a navel-baring bra, revealing a small waist, and her lower body is in a short skirt, all woven from seaweed, with a pair of slender thighs.
Barefoot, he jumped down from the wooden board lightly and came to the stall owner.
"Brother, what do these three human races want from us?"
My sister's voice was clear and pleasant, but her tone was not polite.
"Nothing, they want to buy coral."
The stall owner replied.
The younger sister looked at the three of them directly and said unkindly: "I won't sell it."
Princess Xiyun begged the stall owner: "We have important things and we must go to the island. Just take us there!"
The stall owner thought for a moment and agreed: "Okay, we will return home in a while."
The younger sister disagreed, pouting and glaring: "Brother, why are you bringing three humans back?"
The stall owner glanced at Lin Xiaodong and the others and said coldly: "If we don't take them back, they will have to find their own boat."
After hearing this, my sister squinted at Lin Xiaodong and the others: "Then come up."
After saying that, she picked up her skirt, stepped on the wooden plank, and went back to the boat.
Princess Xiyun stepped on the narrow wooden board and staggered. Her sister looked back and snorted disdainfully.
The three of them went to the boat. The deck was wet and slippery, and there were five men sitting or standing on the bow. They were all topless like the stall owner, drinking and playing cards together.
Lin Xiaodong and three others got on the boat. When the men turned around, their expressions changed, and they all gathered around in anger.
My sister said angrily to everyone: "These three human races are going to our territory."
