Chapter 374: Landed

It was a mere misunderstanding. Malicious Four was not acting, nor was he genuinely sad.

It could only be attributed to Lu Shu’s creativity in the use of his water power. Lu Xiaoyu was aware of his awakening, which explained the sudden change in his hair color earlier. She had difficulty figuring out, though, why Lu Shu’s understanding of magic powers was drastically different from hers, despite their common experience of watching Naruto…

Luckily, Lu Xiaoyu had not heard of Lu Shu’s magnificent feat of crowning Chen Zuan with the titles “Shower-head Chen” and “Ten Splits Chen”. If not, she would have looked at Lu Shu in another light…

However, Li Yixiao was completely ignorant of all this. He only found it unexpected to be on a boat of madmen. As for Lu Shu, he was having loads of fun controlling the flow of water in their bodies, as he concentrated it in their tear glands and had it roll out as tears.

It was indeed a touching scene, two experienced men recounting their heart-rending life stories. But this effect would not have been achieved if Lu Shu had been absent…

Whomever Lu Shu fixed his gaze on would cry!

Even Malicious Four himself found his abnormal crying patterns inexplicable…

Now, Li Yixiao’s heart was softened by sympathy. How could he kill someone he somehow resonated with…

He sighed, and turned his head to Malicious Four, “How much longer?”

With tears on his cheeks, he replied, “Ten minutes.”

Li Yixiao quipped, “You are probably the most sentimental man I’ve ever seen in so many years… Even Feng Yeming cannot be compared to you…”

One’s nose would be blocked as a chain reaction from stimulated tear glands. Thus, at present, Malicious Four could not even spit his words out coherently…

The fishing boat sailed further into the darkness on the open sea. Suddenly, the twinkling lights of a cargo liner came into view. Ten plus people were silhouetted against the railings and waited for the approaching boat.

Malicious Four immediately ordered his minions to steer their boat towards it, and signaled to the liner using his torch light. This time, he flashed seven times, six short and one long, this meant the clients backgrounds were unclear and they were unable to take action. The other side signaled back, roger.

When they came closer, Lu Shu realized the other ship was enormous. People on the deck rolled down a rope for Lu Shu and the rest to climb up with, while a few boxes were suspended down to Malicious Four’s boat on another rope. That was their cargo to be traded inland.

In the end, Li Yixiao spared their lives. He wanted to conduct a thorough check up on those people after he got back.

But Lu Shu’s opinion differed. Only he and Lu Xiaoyu knew the true source of their tears.

A light shone down on the fishing boat, those on the cargo ship were astounded to see Malicious Four’s eyes wet with tears, as though he was unwilling to part with them. They threw Li Yixiao a startled look, “Are you Malicious Four’s family? I thought he had no one left?”

As expected, he was weeping for the loss of his family… Li Yixiao mused.

The boat sailed away after the loading of the cargo. Lu Shu locked the leaving boat in his frosty stare, as his energy started circulating while Lu Xiaoyu was quiet beside him. When it floated out of their sight, Malicious Four and all his minions suddenly felt an immense pressure from within their bodies. In a split second, the veins in their brains ruptured, and the six bodies erupted into a rain of blood.

In the next instant, the lapping sea water suddenly turned into saws, which quickly cut the boat into pieces. But no sounds broke the midnight silence.

Along with the boat, all their sins would be buried deep in the seabed. Lu Xiaoyu captured each of their souls and shattered them again and cursed them to eternal damnation

Lu Shu turned and led Lu Xiaoyu further into the boat. He took a glance at the hull and whispered, “Is this the correct one?”

Lu Xiaoyu gave a definite nod, “Yes.”

It was true, this ship was another ring in the crime chain. But Lu Shu could not take care of all the evil. He was not one of those superheroes in foreign movies who saved the world from apocalypses.

If he really had to give a definition to his current plan, revenge would be an apt one. Was this not a more logical reason as compared to punishing the outlaws? You worked together in an attempt to sell my Lu Xiaoyu, of course I would kill you all. There was nothing wrong with that!

But Malicious Four failed to figure out their identities. Thus, he followed the normal procedure and sent them to Thailand.

When they descended from the decks, they were still confused, “Since when did devilish Malicious Four change so much?”

“Only God knows why he’s crying like that…”

…

The liner sailed southward after it was fully loaded at Jin Port. Then, they continued traveling towards Thailand after a stopover at a fishing village. Along the journey, Lu Shu, Li Yixiao and Lu Xiaoyu were told to stay in the cabin, and Lu Shu’s initial concern of accidentally hurting other refugees seemed unnecessary.

In fact, the situation pictured in the movies was all but an exaggeration. Where could they find so many people who queued up and waited to be smuggled away…

Over the past few years, both the security and the economy of China had been steadily improving. This resulted in a consistent decrease in the number of people who fled to the Americas, Europe and Southeast Asia.

Based on his preconceptions, Lu Shu expected to be hidden in a narrow niche, which did not happen after all. Everything was normal, except for a few ill-intentioned glimpses that crew members cast on Lu Xiaoyu, as they thought a little girl this pretty must be worth a good deal.

But they would never lay a finger on those from unknown backgrounds. They did not want to get involved in some knotty trouble.

As a matter of fact, however, their trouble was already on board. The encounter between Meng Yue and Lu Shu had determined their fate.

The crew tossed three life vests to them when the liner was approaching the Thai port, “You can’t follow us ashore, for the Thai customs won’t let you pass. So swim there by yourselves. It’s less than ten nautical miles from here to the coastline. As for whether you can reach or whether you’ll get caught, only God can decide. My job is done here. The rest depends on yourselves.”

Li Yixiao cupped his hands in a farewell gesture, fully aware of the rules. No one would take illegal immigrants to the port. He said, “Take care of yourselves. Farewell then.”

He did not think it was likely that Lu Shu planned to wipe out this ship as well. Thus, he had no special feelings towards the crew. A question remained unanswered in his mind, though, why did Lu Shu not kill Malicious Four? Did he sympathize with the devil as well?

Thus, to Li Yixiao, it was only a simple goodbye and with no intentions to kill them.

But Lu Shu felt something was missing. Oh yes, tears of farewell! He thought to himself.

As a result, Li Yixiao turned to see the crew weeping once he finished his goodbye words…

“All of you… are so unwilling to let us go?!” Li Yixiao was shocked to learn that sailors were so sensitive!

Lu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Li Yixiao for his bluntness. You still cannot see it?! Actually Lu Shu had decided to reveal his water power. If Nie Ting was aware, Li Yixiao would know it sooner or later. But to their disappointment, Li Yixiao totally remained unsuspecting of it at all!

No wonder he was beat up in the toilet by an ancient heroic spirit… He fully deserved it…
