Chapter 4830: Good Luck

"Your clothes are all wet; please come with us to change and wash up."

Several men, who looked like shop assistants, repeatedly expressed their thanks. One young woman, holding a child, stepped forward and bowed repeatedly to First Young Master Qin and the others with profound gratitude.

Only then did they follow the servants into the cabin to change and wash up.

"Miss, would you like to go in and change as well?" The middle-aged man whispered to the very delicate-looking girl beside him, who was entirely wrapped in a blanket.

The girl looked at First Young Master Qin and the others with a cautious gaze, her eyes lingering on Qiao Mu, before finally shaking her head slightly.

"Be careful, Uncle Gu."

She could tell that these young masters and ladies on the ship were not to be underestimated.

Her father had already been devoured by corpse fish in the sea, and now she had no one to rely on but herself.

Soon, the common folk who had gone in to change their clothes came out again and thanked First Young Master Qin and the others once more.

"Everyone, could you tell us what happened to you?" First Young Master Qin asked with a smile.

"Young Masters, our ship encountered such a large man-eating shark. That young lady said, she said this wasn't an ordinary man-eating shark." The woman holding a child pointed to Duo Shanmei, who was standing nearby, and said, "The young lady said it was a giant, giant..."

The young woman had forgotten the word and was frantically trying to remember the term Duo Shanmei had used.

"A giant Corpse-Devouring Shark," Duo Shanmei naturally didn't need others to provide clothes. She had previously gone into the inner cabin with a servant, retrieved clothes from her inner realm, and had now changed into clean attire. Feeling much better all over, she also gained a little interest in conversing with people.

"Oh, right, right, that's it, the giant Corpse-Devouring Shark."

The young woman clutched her son's hand in horror, hastily saying, "When it charged, we felt the entire ship sway with it; it was terrifying. Truly worthy of being an overlord of the ocean."

"Didn't your esteemed ship encounter it?"

First Young Master Qin shook his head, smiling. "It seems we were quite lucky."

"If the Corpse-Devouring Shark is so powerful, how did you escape?" Qiao Mu asked indifferently.

The girl wrapped in the blanket turned even paler upon hearing this. "Are, are you doubting us?"

"Doubting?" The young woman's face was full of confusion. She then quickly waved her hands. "No, no, we didn't escape. Our ship was capsized by the big shark at that time."

"All of us were forced into the water," the young woman narrated vividly. "At first, I thought my son Kueil and I were definitely going to die."

"Who knew, so coincidentally, before that Corpse-Devouring Shark charged, we were swept away by a current of water."

"Many people were swept out at that time, including my son and I," the woman recalled as she spoke. "Ah, it was truly so thrilling!"

Qiao Mu glanced at her, seeing the woman gesticulating dramatically, full of exclamations.

"A current of water?"

"Yes, an extremely hot current of water. Many people who weren't swept out were trapped in that current, either being gnawed by a large group of corpse fish below or boiled into shrimp." An old man nodded, confirming the clamoring woman's words.

"I never expected this journey to be so dangerous. We only intended to take the Dayuan merchant ship, but we never anticipated that..."
