The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1442 - 1441: Repairing the Ship

You're at the stage of Upper God, but it's a pity you gained strength without growing brains. The array on the ship hasn't completely collapsed yet; you think you can escape from the sky with your personal strength. If I don't tear you to pieces, who should I?"Another idiot got eaten. At least we're standing on tens of thousands of sea beasts. Ask Wu Gexin if there's any other way. If not, let's just sit in the middle of the deck and wait for death."

Wu Suowei was so indifferent that Tang Rao felt Wu Suowei surely had a backup plan. But when Wu Suowei actually followed the rocking ship to sit in the middle of the deck, Tang Rao knew his not-so-normal-minded master was genuinely sitting there waiting for death, not just to watch the show.

"Senior Wu, is the ship really going to be alright?"

Wu Gexin's mind was about to explode. This ship he had meticulously crafted was actually breached by sea beasts. Impossible, things are definitely not that simple.

"Brother Tang Rao, I'm sorry for inviting you on board but failing to ensure your safe disembarkment. There must be a traitor on our ship."

Wu Gexin said each word slowly.

Only an internal traitor can scientifically explain why the protective array was opened, why the ship was so calm earlier, yet attacked by sea beasts halfway through. Everything must signify an extraordinary existence.

"You make a good point."

The person responding to Wu Gexin wasn't Tang Rao, but a Bald man. Despite being shirtless in the dead of winter, he didn't seem to feel cold.

He looked at the terrified faces of the people coming and going, then at the boundless sea and the rampant sea beasts in it, feeling that all the scenery before him was his own grand creation, a miracle, and enjoying it as a spectacle.

"Yes, there was a traitor. I deliberately turned off the protective array, killed a few people and threw them into the sea, attracting all the sea beasts. How's that? Isn't it thrilling?"

Bald looked evilly at each person with a terrified face, knowing he would die here, and knew everyone present would die with him.

Bald's mind had completely perverted, acting on a mindset incomprehensible to ordinary people, doing things that ordinary people would fear even to imagine.

"Bald, it was you! I treated you well. Why did you do this?"

Wu Gexin drew the Longsword, desperately wanting to kill the maniacal Great Devil before him.

Bald wasn't scared. Instead, he took a step towards Wu Gexin and said, "Family Head Wu, because you didn't die. You escaped my traps time and again, you disappointed me. So your good friends, your brothers all have to die. Their deaths were caused by you. Had you been willing to give me the industry, you wouldn't have ended up like this!"

Bald laughed with a heart-wrenching thrill.

"So, all along, the one wanting me dead was you. You want the industry, I'll give it to you, but the people on the ship are innocent. If you spare my friends, my industry, my life, can all be yours!"

That's all Wu Gexin could offer. If Bald wants it, he should take it, provided he spares the innocents. But if Bald remains stubborn, Wu Gexin has to teach Bald a lesson, even if both Bald and he are about to become dead men.

Now offering the industry? What's the use now?

"You think I'm stupid? I've offended over a hundred people on this ship. Even if only ten survive, they'll deliver thunderous revenge. What's the point of having your industry?"

Bald getting the industry means death, not getting it also means death. He'd rather retaliate and perish with these so-called Family Heads, for that gives his heart some balance.

"No, I promise, as long as you let them leave, Wu family's industry is yours; people on the ship won't take your life. Isn't mutual peace better?"

Wu Gexin couldn't believe Bald really wanted to die. Before they all die, Bald would certainly leave himself a way out, wouldn't he?

But the reality was, Bald hadn't thought of leaving himself a way out, nor had he considered sparing everyone present.

Bang!

A violent collision almost flipped the ship over.

Several more people were thrown out because they didn't sit in the centre of the deck.

Seeing people being thrown out one after another, the sea beasts couldn't be happier, rarely getting such a feast.

"Senior Wu, this person left no way out for himself, don't pressure him!"

If not for this intense wave of sea beast attack, Tang Rao might not have been so furious.

Anyone who wanted Tang Rao dead never had a good time afterward.

Tang Rao, as fast as lightning, rushed to Bald and kicked straight at his chest with such speed. Like light, he wouldn't have released such a strong move had he not been driven by anger.

Bald's round body got kicked out and was devoured by sea beasts mid-air.

The traitor was found and received due punishment. The pressing issue was how to deal with the remaining dozens of people?

The vast ship slowly sank below water, already reaching Tang Rao's ankles, fully submerging in about half an incense stick time.

"Tang Rao, Bald is dead. We really have no way out. Without a spare ship, it means a dead end for us!"

This was too big for Tang Rao to handle. He only thought about avenging himself by killing Bald earlier, but in terms of escaping or leading such a crowd to escape, how could Tang Rao know?

"I haven't thought about how to escape. Maybe we should just wait and see what happens, go with the flow."

Tang Rao stood on the deck soaked by the water, Wu Suowei likewise stood in the center, feeling the fierce hits from all directions. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he dashed into the cabin, seemingly researching something more.

"Master, you're not thinking about fixing the ship, are you?"

Tang Rao exclaimed in disbelief.

The ship was about to sink; fixing it now would likely be in vain.

"Otherwise, what can we do? The great task of founding a nation is not yet complete. The entire Divine Realm is still in chaos. Our mission remains significant. At least until the mission is completed, we cannot die."

Wu Suowei's sense of duty was incredibly strong. Even before death, he was still thinking about his grand task of founding a nation, a truly admirable spirit.

"Master, I've never seen you fix a ship. Can you please tell me what exactly you do, what you can do, and what you can't?"

Tang Rao stood beside Wu Suowei, even Wu Suowei concentrating on fixing the ship felt the pressure.

"I just want to quietly fix the ship right now. Can you not talk to me for a while? The you who doesn't talk will feel incredibly handsome to me."
