Chapter 4261: 5.0013 Abandon Ship

Long Hui tightly gripped Long Xiangyun's wrist, terrified that his sister, in her anger, wouldn't be able to stop herself from lashing out at the little Crown Prince Consort.

After several encounters, both siblings clearly understood that confronting the expressionless Crown Prince Consort seemed to yield absolutely no benefits.

"Brother," Long Xiangyun was so angry she wanted to cry.

She had never met such a vile person, and Long Xiangyun felt that if she continued to interact with the little Crown Prince Consort, she would eventually be driven mad by her.

"Why don't we go our separate ways, Brother!" Long Xiangyun's face was still filled with lingering anger.

"No," Long Hui shook his head. He did indeed want to separate from the little Crown Prince Consort due to her difficult personality.

But the problem was, he had to ensure that the little Crown Prince Consort wouldn't turn back midway and would safely reach Wangchuan.

"Bear with it for a while, Xiangyun," Long Hui knew that his sister had been pampered by their family since childhood. The grievances she had suffered at the Crown Prince Consort's hands these past few days were simply too much; he felt deeply for her.

However, for the sake of successfully completing this mission, enduring some hardships... was worth it.

Long Hui took a deep breath and said, "Your cousin, she has a strange temperament and doesn't play by the rules. Just keep your distance from her normally."

"With her quiet and taciturn nature, if you don't bother her, she won't actively look for trouble with you either."

"Why should I always accommodate her?" Long Xiangyun was furious, almost jumping with rage. "What cousin? I won't acknowledge her identity! Long Chuyun doesn't know how to raise a daughter, to teach out such a disrespectful, unruly thing."

"Xiangyun!" Long Hui, startled, quickly covered her mouth, looking around nervously as if he had a guilty conscience.

Seeing that there was no one else around, he finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If the Crown Prince Consort had heard those words just now, she would surely have taught Xiangyun a lesson right then and there.

There was almost no doubt about that.

"Alright, let's go prepare. Later, summon your Sky-Soaring Bat. We'll head to the nearest ferry crossing first and switch boats."

"But with such haste, will it be easy to find another boat?"

Long Hui sighed, "We'll take it one step at a time."

He was also extremely anxious now. It truly was a case of good things taking time; why was bringing the Crown Prince Consort back to Wangchuan so difficult?

After the little Crown Prince Consort had plundered everything from her cabin, she went to the deck with the hundred people from the Phoenix Clan.

By this time, the accumulated water in the lower levels had gradually spread to the deck, and the entire ship was tilting to one side.

"The ship is sinking!" Long Hui turned to his sister, Long Xiangyun. "Xiangyun, summon the Sky-Soaring Bat."

"Yes, Brother." Long Xiangyun raised her hand and waved, and a giant bat, blending in with the night, appeared before everyone.

"Go!" Long Hui gestured, and the Long family members, carrying the boatmen, leaped onto the back of the Sky-Soaring Bat.

"Brother, hurry up and come aboard!" Long Xiangyun stood on the back of the Sky-Soaring Bat, looking down at Qiao Mu and her group on the deck, letting out a snort through her nose.

Long Hui was quickly putting several disassembled cabin partitions into his inner world. If his inner world wasn't so small, he would have put in more planks.

Hearing Long Xiangyun's voice, Long Hui acknowledged.

Then he glanced towards the little Crown Prince Consort's side, and seeing that they were still standing motionless on the flooded deck, he frowned and reminded, "Cousin, the ship is about to capsize. You should also quickly summon your flying beasts and come with us to the nearest ferry crossing."

"No need to trouble yourselves."
