Chapter 359 Extra Chapter: You Curse Me

Ling Chengen landed in Nanyuan again in May of the following year, after capturing Serkin City.

The reason for this landing in Nanyuan is that Chang Tianchen, as the commander-in-chief, was seriously injured during the attack on Beast King City, and his condition is not good at the moment.

She brought Yuheng ashore at Feiyuzui Port on the northeast coast of Nanyuan, where they ran into Shi Panxing, who was about to leave the port, and his team of guards.

We stopped to say hello and took the opportunity to explore this famous port.

They departed from Shiqian Port, the first port on the southeast coast of the Northern Wilderness, and traveled for three days on a ship guarded by warriors of the Sea Clan and the Mountain Clan to reach Flying Fish Mouth.

Although this was Ling Chengen's first time visiting Flying Fish Mouth, it was not unfamiliar to him.

Because Flying Fish Mouth is the closest port to the northern wilderness coast.

This place served as the main landing point for the Northern Wilderness warriors. After Xiao Kingdom occupied Huangyan Beast City, it focused on expanding this port, making it the most important port connecting the Northern Wilderness and the Southern Plains.

The expansion plan for Fei Yu Zui Port was also approved by her; she had seen both the planning drawings and the conceptual drawings.

However, there is still a significant difference between the concept drawing and the actual product.

The port of Flying Fish Mouth was larger than she had expected, with a long row of berths along the coast. These berths were mainly reserved for ships from the Xiao Kingdom, with ships from the Sea Clan making up less than one percent of the total.

Because the sea is inhabited by many sea creatures, ships traveling between the southern plains and the northern wilderness need a large number of sea creature warriors to escort them.

This shipping route is very important. Shi Panxing used his sea race mercenary group to make a lot of money from Xiao Kingdom along this route.

Ling Chengen was naturally not one to willingly hand over her life to others, but the situation in Huiyuan was too complicated. The three Xuan Locks couldn't guarantee the rapid passage of a large number of people. She wanted to build a bridge between the two continents...

But this idea is difficult to implement.

Even Chongzhen couldn't design a bridge that could span the north and south continents.

Therefore, Ling Chengen could only rely on the sea route as the main transportation route, but Huiyuan was also trying to find a solution. It's just unknown whether she would live to see the bridge built.

……

Shi Panxing stepped off the large ship that was about to set sail, wearing a moon-white cloak. The wide hood was blown open by the harbor wind and fell onto his shoulders.

Ling Chengen stepped onto the pier, looked back at Yu Heng who was slowly walking off the boat, reached out his hand to him, and said speechlessly, "Why did you have to take the sea route with me? I've never seen anyone seasick like you before."

Yuheng didn't want to say a word. He still felt dizzy and reached out to touch his forehead. He was so uncomfortable that he stuck his head out of the window again. His body was grabbed by the guards beside him. The two of them watched helplessly as he vomited violently.

Ling Chengen: "..."

She sighed deeply, looked at Shi Panxing who was walking over, and instructed the two guards: "Take him to the inn to rest first. When you get to the inn, brew the medicine packet we gave you earlier and make sure he drinks it."

"Yes--"

“Carry him over.”

Ling Chengen looked at Yu Heng, who looked pale and sickly, and took his arm, so that the eagle warriors could carry him on their backs.

After the bald eagle warrior turned around to make sure Yuheng was properly seated on his back, he waited for another guard to sit on his back before bowing slightly to Ling Chengen, flapping his wings, and flying towards the inn.

Fortunately, Flying Fish Mouth is a large port, and a city naturally sprang up around it – Fish Bay Port City.

The inn was located in the port city and was specifically used to receive public officials coming from the northern wilderness.

After seeing Yu Heng off, Ling Chengen finally had a moment to greet Shi Panxing.

Shi Panxing stood there, looking at the shadow that had turned into a black dot in the sky, and asked in surprise, "Is that Yuheng?"

“He gets seasick.” Ling Chengen shook his head, laughing and crying at the same time. “He’s been feeling dizzy and weak ever since the ship left port, and he even has trouble standing up.”

"Is it that serious?"

"Can't he treat himself?"

Ling Chengen took a few steps to a sheltered spot, shook his head, and said, "I've tried it, but it didn't work."

"It will only work for a short time."

“He could have gotten ashore first, it’s not like he couldn’t.” Shi Panxing also found it strange. Yu Heng’s abilities were unfathomable, so dealing with such a small matter should not have been difficult for him.

Ling Chengen lowered his eyes and said, "He was worried about me traveling alone on the ship. He thought the sea monsters were too dangerous and was afraid that the ship would be destroyed and everyone would die."

Shi Panxing couldn't help but click his tongue twice and chuckled, "With someone like him, it's hard to say who will save whom in the end."

Ling Chengen sighed and said, "Who says it isn't?"

However, having had this experience, Yuheng will probably stay far away from all ships for the rest of his life.

What are you doing at Flying Fish Mouth Harbor?

Ling Chengen looked at their sea tribe's ships, where countless warriors were working in pairs, carrying box after box of goods onto the ships.

She raised an eyebrow slightly: "Red Origin Mine?"

“Some of it is, and some of it isn’t.” Shi Panxing pressed down his hat, which was being blown up by the wind, and said, “There’s also some ice rock, which we’ve been mining recently.”

Ling Chengen chuckled and said, "It was agreed back then that you would only get a share of the Crimson Source Mine."

"We obtained the mining permit for Bingyan from Huangyan Beast City and paid the fees."

Shi Panxing didn't want to be slandered by her. He put his hands in the pockets of his cloak and said with a smile, "You're really obsessed with money! You're always thinking about how to squeeze some money out of me."

"Who told you sea creatures to be so wealthy! You're rolling in money, it's something to be envied."

Ling Chengen wasn't embarrassed at all when he was refuted; he simply spread his hands and calmly replied.

The two chatted briefly. Ling Chengen did not want to stay there any longer and planned to go to the inn to check on Yu Heng's condition. If he had recovered, they would set off for Beast King City that night.

The situation at the front is not good. After Chang Tianchen was seriously injured and fell into a coma, Su Weihua is now temporarily leading the army.

However, Su Weihua's strength was still slightly inferior, and he was unable to suppress some of the seventeenth-tier warriors conscripted from various parts of the Northern Wilderness.

These soldiers are formidable fighters, and their personalities are not easy to deal with. In particular, getting them to obey orders requires considerable skill.

Just as Ling Chengen was about to say goodbye, Shi Panxing reached out and blocked her way: "Can we talk alone?"

"Isn't this place okay?" Ling Chengen glanced around. "Haven't we been talking alone the whole time?"

"Let's change the environment," Shi Panxing said seriously. "There are some very important things I'd like to discuss with you."

Ling Chengen glanced at their sea tribe's ship: "Your ship is about to set sail, isn't it?"

"No, it will take at least one more beast time."

"Where would you like to talk?" Ling Chengen didn't mind giving his partner some time.

"There's a restaurant nearby run by a sea creature."

Ling Chengen nodded: "Okay, you lead the way."

When she sat down in a private cubicle with Shi Panxing, she asked, puzzled, "What secret are you trying to tell me? Why are you being so mysterious?"

Shi Panxing smiled and said, "I'm afraid what I'm about to say will anger you."

"If you really lose your temper and start fighting with me, at least I can minimize the impact."

Ling Chengen's lips twitched. He sat down in his chair and snorted coldly, "I have a good temper!" "But I advise you not to provoke me on purpose."

Shi Panxing sat on the other side of the small round table, spread his hands and said, "I'm really here for something important this time."

"Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush, and don't give me so much background information."

If the request is too unreasonable, she will still turn her back on it.

Preparing a prelude is useless.

Shi Panxing asked, "Are you having trouble attacking Beast King City?"

"You're very well-informed."

"I've been in Nanyuan for the past two weeks. With you guys fighting so fiercely for so long, it's hard for me not to know."

Ling Chengen rested his chin on one hand, raised an eyebrow, and tentatively asked, "What, now that you know we're in trouble, are you planning to offer help in our time of need, or are you planning to take advantage of our misfortune?"

Shi Panxing's lips twitched twice, sensing that his suggestion would most likely be categorized as... the latter.

Seeing his silence, Ling Chengen's smile vanished. He reached out and took the hot drink from the table, lowered his eyes, and slowly took a sip of milk tea. It must have been purchased from the north; the taste was authentic and it was very fresh.

In Nanyuan, only restaurants under Shi Panxing's name can offer such authentic northern flavors.

"After hesitating for so long, it seems they're planning to take advantage of the situation!"

Ling Chengen put the cup down, and the porcelain cup landed on the walnut wood table with a clear, crisp sound.

"Tell me, what exactly are you planning? You're too embarrassed to even open your mouth."

Shi Panxing pondered for a moment and said, "I can't hide anything from you."

"I want to attack Trident City."

Ling Chengen's expression remained unchanged. He simply looked down at his nails, which he had just trimmed yesterday, and said softly, "Tell me honestly, how long have you been eyeing Three-Forked Whitewater City?"

"Pretty much. I had this idea when you were in Mosergold City."

"Sancha Baishui City is located by the sea and is a city built on water."

"More than 90% of the people living there are water beasts."

“For land-dwelling orcs, managing such a water city would be very difficult, but for us sea creatures, it is an excellent place.”

This time, Ling Chengen fell silent. She slowly turned the bracelet on her wrist, and after a long while, she suddenly said, "You want the sea tribe to move to the land, so you plan to make Sancha Baishui City your sea tribe's home on land."

"But how do you know we can't take over Trident Whitewater City?"

"Although Xiao Kingdom has many land-dwelling beastmen, it is not without aquatic beastmen as well."

“You know my goal. From the very beginning, what I wanted was the whole of Namwon.”

"What you're asking now is tantamount to leaving a back door for your family in the territory I'm planning to fence off."

"Do you think I can agree to that?" Ling Chengen asked in return.

Shi Panxing was not surprised by her reaction at all, and just smiled and said, "I knew you would refuse, but you can still think about my proposal."

"Besides, if you can accept so many races, why do you insist on excluding us sea people?"

Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow and said, "What? You want to lead the sea tribe to submit to our Xiao Kingdom?"

Shi Panxing smiled but remained silent, and Ling Chengen could see the determination in his attitude.

"Since you don't have this idea, why say such suggestive things?"

Shi Panxing raised his eyes and stared at her quietly: "As the Sea King of the Far North Sea, my pride and dignity do not allow me to do this."

"But that doesn't mean the next Aquaman will be like me."

Ling Chengen scoffed, "You don't even have a wife yet, and you're already talking to me about your next one?"

Where's your face?

Shi Panxing suddenly smiled and said, "I don't need a partner, but I will still have an heir."

Ling Chengen looked at him with disbelief: "Are you planning to abdicate when you're old? Or are you planning to have some romantic entanglements outside? Huh, I didn't expect you to be this kind of fish!"

Shi Panxing's face darkened slightly, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't always think of me as something dirty. I'm innocent!"

"I plan to groom Ji Xue to be the next Sea King."

Ling Chengen suddenly picked at his ear and moved a few steps closer: "What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Shi Panxing said, word by word, "...I said, I plan to make your daughter, Ling Jixue, the next Sea King of the Far North Sea."

Ling Chengen sneered, "You want my daughter to be the Queen of Beihai? Did you even ask me?"

"Isn't that what I'm telling you?"

Ling Chengen threw the cup on the table, stared at him, and said, "Are you trying to negotiate with me?"

"You've clearly made this decision a long time ago, and now you're just trying to convince me."

Shi Panxing: "..." That's not wrong, but admitting it will only make her angrier!

Shi Panxing was trying to think of a tactful way to phrase it when Ling Chengen's foot had already kicked his knee.

Caught off guard, Shi Panxing was nearly kicked over, chair and all. He managed to flip himself off the chair and stand firmly on the ground, then bent down and used his right hand to support the chair back, preventing the solid wood chair from crashing heavily to the floor.

Shi Panxing straightened the chair, took half a step back, and looked up, saying, "Can you please stop hitting me? If we really fight, you might not be able to beat me."

"You're coveting my daughter, and you still have the nerve to say that?"

"Believe it or not, if I tell this to Shi Ruoan, he and I can team up and give you a mixed doubles experience!"

Shi Panxing felt a little guilty, but he still had to put on a show.

He tried to appeal to her emotions and reason with her, saying, "Is it a good thing for you to pass the Sea King's throne to Ling Jixue? This way, the sea area will also be incorporated into your family's territory, and it will also prevent Jixue from competing with her younger brothers and sisters for the Xiao King's throne."

Ling Chengen pointed at him and said, "Are you cursing me to die?"

"Not only did they curse me to die young, but they also cursed that after my death, my children and siblings would turn against each other!"

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, you might really think I can't lift a knife!"

Shi Panxing realized the danger in her tone and raised his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't you want to listen to what you're saying? When did I say any of that? You're clearly twisting my words. Besides, I did mention passing the throne to someone else. Am I cursing myself to die young?"

"Whether you live or die, whether you curse yourself or not, is none of my business!"

"But you can't curse me!"

"Are you even being reasonable?!" Shi Panxing was driven a little crazy by her, but he didn't dare to really fight back.

If he retaliates, none of the things he proposed today will come to fruition.

But if he doesn't fight back, he's also feeling quite frustrated, okay?!
