Imperial Treasure

Chapter 545 - 356: Small Leather Pouch, Gu~

On that small boat, as steady as Mount Tai, with a single strike and three knocks, Yhan Qingwu had driven away that giant fish, and faced Sui Yi, whose eyes were clear and sharp...

Pork Rong truly did not dare to make a rash move, obediently climbed onto the small boat, and not long after, the group stepped onto the riverbank. Everyone was somewhat puzzled by Sui Yi saving a traitor, but none dared to object, mainly because the scene prior was too bizarre and frightening, making this composed young lady appear all the more mysterious.

"My goodness, that thing must have been at least seven or eight meters long—so fast, too! Are there really such giant fish in this freshwater river?"

"Impossible, the width and length of this river and its ecology would hardly support such a giant fish, not to mention the speed of that fish was insanely fast, almost as if it was enchanted..."

Moreover, what was most eerie were the two boatmen who, after falling into the water, vanished without a trace. If they were eaten, there would surely be some blood or foam coming up, but there was none, indicating they truly weren’t attacked by the giant fish.

This was even stranger.

The group continued discussing earlier events, but their discussion didn’t go smoothly because...

Vomit, vomit, vomit~

This discordant interjection quickly put an awkward end to their conversation.

This fatty kept vomiting, and Third Lady Yin mocked him from the side, "Oh dear, brother fatty, you are really having a rough time postpartum, look how you’re vomiting... oh boy, it stinks~"

The smell is killing you and yet you still stand there!

Skinny Waist and others were at a loss for words.

They counted and organized their equipment and checked their injuries on the spot. Second Master Gong approached Sui Yi, who was staring distantly at the riverbank from near a big tree, "Miss Sui, we have finished counting. We can move on now, but this fatty..."

Sui Yi turned and walked towards Pork Rong, who was still endlessly vomiting.

Seeing Sui Yi approaching, Pork Rong became fearful and retreated a few steps, "Miss Sui, female knight-errant, please, please, it’s just nausea... vomit~"

Sui Yi reached out her hand and slapped!

Her fingers rapidly tapped him a few times like lightning.

Pork Rong’s expression changed, followed by another vomit~~

He vomited out a pile of filth, making everyone keep their distance.

The stench was so nauseating that it was unbearable.

But this fatty indeed felt instantly refreshed, stood up straight, and said in amazement, "Heroine Sui, you..."

"Did you swallow the belongings of those two men underwater?"

The fatty’s expression subtly changed and then he gave a wry smile, saying, "Yes, right after those two jumped into the water, I noticed something bulging in their mouths. Just as the giant fish appeared, I quickly grabbed the object from the young man’s mouth, this—this small leather pouch..."

The fatty even pointed to the pile of filth he had just vomited out and used a stick to uncover it...

Sure enough, there was a small leather pouch.

Yes, quite disgusting.

Yhan Qingwu frowned, "Did you bite it open?"

"Uhh... yes, it was my fault for using too much force at the time and I bit it open. Oh, it was so disgusting, I almost died. Later, I couldn’t help but surface to spit it out, but I found the giant fish nearby, so I could only hold onto it... and then..."

"Then you ended up swallowing it," Sui Yi indifferently added his words.

The fatty’s face turned shades of green and white, his expression pained, clearly troubled by swallowing that thing.

The others also felt very disgusted.

"However, Miss Sui, your previous action was certainly breathtaking... I wonder what mysterious art it was that made that creature obediently leave? Did you recognize what kind of creature it was?" Mount Mover pondered for a while but couldn’t help asking.

"I don’t recognize it," Sui Yi slung Demon Que back onto her back, her gaze drifting over the water, saying, "Every creature can be subdued by something. Whether it was my sword or the small leather pouch those sailors carried onboard, both had a scent that made the giant fish fearful, and thus it fled."

Indeed, it made sense; the group realized that the girl’s sword must certainly be a divine weapon. The scent of the blood it bore and its inherent ambiance were intimidating enough to scare off the giant fish. However, they still felt something was odd...

"What was that three knocks you did before about?" Mount Mover was particularly curious...

Sui Yi did not answer but simply gave him a brief glance. Second Master Gong coughed, and the group then realized they were probing into personal matters. If she wished not to speak, it meant the old man had asked too much...

Mount Mover, being very astute, quickly realized this and was about to speak...

"Art."

Sui Yi merely uttered this single word and then walked forward, the fatty’s interest piqued as he followed her.

The rest did not dare to ask further and followed suit.

As for whether it was about a tree, a book, or an art, they were better off not asking too much.
