CHAPTER 961: CHAPTER 961: ARE YOU SURE YOU’RE RESCUING SOMEONE?

Thinking that they might die here, Shi Kanshan and Wei Lan both felt regretful.

Had they known this day would come, they would never have abandoned their daughter Shi Yaoguang in the first place.

Now, it’s obviously too late to say these things.

If there’s a chance in the next life, they will apologize to that child face to face.

Just as the couple was pessimistically thinking that perhaps they were about to die.

A loud noise suddenly came from the sky.

A black streak appeared in mid-air.

Shi Kanshan and the others immediately had a change of expression.

They were quite panicked in their hearts.

"What’s going on?"

"What is that thing?"

"Oh my God..."

The people on the ship were in a panic again.

Beneath the merchant ship, there was a massive school of fish surrounding it.

Another shadow appeared in the sky.

How could this not be frightening?

Fear took over the entire heart.

Just when they were thinking that their lives were over, the shadow in the sky plunged into the water.

Huge waves surged up from the water immediately.

The people on the ship could only cling to the ship tightly in an attempt to maintain balance.

About five minutes later, the waves subsided.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

However, soon they became terrified again.

Because of the waves, the hole in the merchant ship got larger.

A lot of water was seeping in from the bottom; before long, this ship would sink.

"It’s over..."

Someone was the first to mutter it aloud.

Everyone’s face was filled with a look of sorrow.

It’s over.

Just when everyone was in despair.

They noticed that their view seemed to be rising continuously.

"What’s going on?"

Someone rubbed their eyes, quite surprised.

It soon became apparent that this was not an illusion.

Their vision really was rising.

The reason for such a reaction, the problem lay in...

The ship was flying.

Literally.

Such a large merchant ship actually flew!

Everyone was on the ship, thus unable to investigate what exactly was going on.

But everyone had a feeling of just escaping from a tiger’s den only to enter a wolf’s lair.

The reason for their sudden lift was because of Wo Hezhe.

Wo Hezhe absorbed the power of the Evil Demon from the fish and then lifted the merchant ship.

After all, he was now a captive of the big boss.

Knowing that the big boss came here to save people, as a perceptive underling, he must grasp the art of pleasing the big boss.

The big boss wanted to save people, so he must always keep the boss’s purpose in mind.

The big boss wanted to save people, so he helped to save them.

Being self-motivated and conscientiously proactive was the self-discipline of being an underling.

Wo Hezhe, full of confidence, lifted the merchant ship single-handedly to prevent it from sinking.

Then he carried the ship all the way to Shi Yaoguang, adopting a posture of seeking credit and reward.

"Boss, didn’t I do well?"

Shi Yaoguang looked at the merchant ship raised above his head, and the corner of her mouth twitched, "Are you sure you’re saving people this way?"

Wo Hezhe spoke righteously, "I am saving people."

"Is there a problem?"

He said, also tossing the ship in his hand a little, "Everyone on board is fine and alive, not a single one is missing."

Shi Yaoguang: "..."

She held her forehead helplessly, "If you say so, then find a nearby island and put the ship there."

"Got it," Wo Hezhe responded, then threw the ship forcefully in a certain direction.

Seeing his threatening action, Shi Yaoguang hurriedly formed a hand seal.

With the buffer of the simple Formation, everyone on the ship was unharmed.

Not only were the people fine, but even the ship was undamaged.

The people who had just escaped death were all filled with gratitude on their faces.

"Scared me to death, I thought I was a goner..."

"I will never go out to sea again next time, just wanted to earn a little money, and almost lost my life in the process, it’s not worth it."

The people who survived were sharing their joy with high spirits.

Just then, a sudden exclamation came from inside the cabin.

"Baby, what’s wrong? Wake up!"

Hearing the voice, everyone’s attention was drawn to it.

"Baby, wake up, don’t scare mommy!"

The woman’s voice gradually turned sharp with distress.

"Baby, baby, sob sob..."

Someone curiously went into the cabin to inquire about the situation, and soon figured out what was going on inside.

"That child has a severe illness, and in the critical situation just now, his condition flared up."

After saying this, his expression was tinged with helplessness.

If they could, they also wanted to help.

"The child needs special medicine, and the reason they took the merchant ship this time was to find this medicine."

Although the drugs are available domestically, the price of genuine drugs is too high for a typical family to afford.

With no other choice, that mother could only take her sick child to go out to sea on a merchant ship.

They just didn’t expect to encounter such a situation.

After ensuring the merchant ship was okay, Shi Yaoguang planned to leave.

She had already sent a distress signal to the relevant departments and believed these people would be saved soon.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the mother crying inside the cabin.

Worried that something might happen, Shi Yaoguang decided to check it out personally.

Wo Hezhe ingratiatingly suggested, "Boss, there’s an unknown situation down there, why don’t you go take a look?"

Shi Yaoguang had originally intended to check it out.

But...

Hearing it from him sounded strange, "What tricky idea are you up to?"

Wo Hezhe chuckled, "What tricky idea could I possibly have? I just think with your kind heart, you wouldn’t bear to see the child die here."

Shi Yaoguang glanced at the black energy he held in his hand, clicked her tongue lightly, "In that case, I’ll be off."

Wo Hezhe nodded, and after watching Shi Yaoguang enter the cabin, he sneakily extracted a tiny stream of energy from the energy huddle in his hand.

The timing was too tight earlier when drawing off energy from the fish, he dared not make such a bold move.

Now, it was different.

When Shi Yaoguang went down to check on the child, Wo Hezhe planned to take this time to secretly pull some energy.

It made no sense that other beings could swallow Evil Demon’s energy while he, as an Evil Demon, could not.

Therefore.

He decided to sneak a little to try it.

By then...

Heh heh.

Wo Hezhe carefully separated a small thread of energy, which floated over his palm.

He instinctively looked up and met the cold gaze of Quan Jinbei.

Wo Hezhe: "..."

He laughed awkwardly and toadyingly said, "Bro, does one thread of energy suffice? How about I help you filter more so you can first taste it on behalf of the boss?"

His face was ingratiating, but in his heart, he was cursing the other for being unreliable.

Quan Jinbei’s presence was just too unnoticeable, wasn’t it?

If he hadn’t spoken, Wo Hezhe would’ve forgotten his presence.

Wo Hezhe couldn’t help but start spinning conspiracy theories in his mind.

It’s possible that Quan Jinbei was deliberately waiting here to catch him making mistakes to seize his weakness!
