My Disciple Died Yet Again

Zhu Yao was a little weirded out. It seemed like these Sharkmen had taken her as one of them. But… Just where the hell did they see that from? Her image was clearly different from them, alright?

”Kuh kuh, sorry, I got lost.” Zhu Yao probed. Since she was able to avoid a terrible battle, she would not mind acting as a Sharkman for a short while.

”Lost?” That Sharkman’s face was immediately filled with contempt, as though it was looking at her as though she was an idiot. ”Just who the hell sent you here? How could you even get lost like this?”

”Uh… I was sent here by a monkey.”

”Monkey? Is that the name of your tribe leader?” That Sharkman began to look down on her even more. ”Are all of your tribe members as stupid as you?”

”……” You’re stupid. Your entire family’s stupid.

”Nevermind!” That guy sized her up for a bit, and suddenly, its eyes shone. Slapping its chest, it’s expression changed into a righteous one. ”Seeing that we’re of the same race, I shall send you back. My name is Fishhere, the tribe leader of Harmonic Ocean Tribe.”

”Hoho, wouldn’t that be too much of a trouble?” She could not wait to flee, so how could she bring along a fish?

”Do not be modest.” That sharkman said with its arms crossed. ”Since you’re so stupid, I’m afraid you might not return home even after three days.”

”Really, there’s no need.”

”Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with the vicinity.”

”No need.”

”I said I’m sending you!”

”It’s really unnecessary.”

”Are you going to have me send you, or not!?” It bared its teeth!

”…… Alright, send me then!” You can’t force people like this. These hot-blooded ’fish’-youth nowadays, are really hard to please.

When the Sharkman saw her yielding, it was finally satisfied. Slapping its tail, it moved towards her. Stretching its hand, it wrapped around Zhu Yao’s shoulder, demonstrating a brotherly look. ”Tell me then, where do you live?”

”Uh……” Zhu Yao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly, she thought of a plan. Why not have him bring her to that ancient ruins? After all, no human was more familiar of the terrain of this Secret Realm than a demonic beast. ”I don’t really know that place is called either? It’s just that there’s a very ancient palace over there. It’s really big inside, and the spiritual energy there is abundant as well. Oh right, there’s a very strong barrier set up outside, and normally, people are unable to approach it.”

Hearing her finish her explanation, the the Sharkman’s expression became a little strange. Looking at her from top to bottom, it’s long and thin sharp teeth made ’guchiguchi’ grinding sounds. ”You’re sure that you people live over there?”

Zhu Yao was exhilarated in her heart. As expected, he knew about it, however, she could not allow him to raise his suspicion. ”We have always lived near it, however, tribe leader has never allowed us to casually head outside. This is my first time out here, hence, I got lost.”

Fishhere stared at her for a while, before dispersing its suspicion. It lightly said. ”Why would you people live in that sort of crazy place? I heard that, near those ruins are ”Severed Lands”, if you were to get sucked into it, your soul would be scattered.”

Zhu Yao could only smile and nod.

”Alright then, seeing that I’m in a good mood, I will bring you home today. But, I shall put this out first, I will only send you to somewhere nearby. I won’t approach the ’severed lands’.”

”Thank you, big brother Fishhere.” Zhu Yao immediately nodded.

Fishhere explained to the rest of the Sharkmen, before signaling to Zhu Yao that they could leave.

”Wait a minute, where are you going?”

Zhu Yao had only taken a single step, before she was pulled back by him. He pointed to the front, where the endless seas were. ”This way.”

After saying that, with a ’plop’ sound, he leapt into the sea.

They were using the water route!

Zhu Yao: ”……”

Zhu Yao instantly let out cold sweat, and felt the sense of danger where she was about to be exposed. Because… She did not know how to swim!
