Superpowered Love Academy

Ba Dou actually lifted the leaky boat up, cursing:

"Holy crap, how come we're at sea?"

Because of the unstable center of gravity, the boat quickly slid to the other side, and Zuo Le, losing his balance, was about to slide down with it.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Tuqi's fingers, while his other hand gripped the edge of the small boat's deck.

The ship nearly capsized, and Zuo Le was hanging upside down on the deck.

Tuqi beneath him met his gaze.

The atmosphere between the two was strangely indescribable.

But neither of them called out to the other.

Chapter 103 We haven't broken up, so what's the problem?

Finally, Badou used his pincers to brace against the hull and roughly flipped the boat over.

Zuo Le stumbled, while Tu Qi landed steadily.

Liu Guodong fared even worse; the boat had just overturned, and he was submerged in water and swallowed a lot of water.

Because Zuo Le was still holding Tu Qi's hand, she looked up at her.

But Tuqi withdrew her finger at that moment and turned her back to him.

Although Zuo Le looked a little embarrassed, the relief and joy of surviving the ordeal overshadowed it all.

He rolled over and draped himself over the edge of the hull, reaching out to pat the eight-beam shell:

"Thank you so much, Brother Dou. I'm glad you arrived just in time."

"This is not human territory at all. What's going on?" Badou's small eyes scanned the surroundings, all he could see was seawater.

"We were just about to head back when we were attacked by some people from the Mushroom Forest..."

Zuo Le briefly described the current situation to Ba Dou, while the crab's eyes darted around:

"They were fine in the mushroom forest, but they turned on us as soon as we stepped outside. The human world is truly complicated!"

"I'm afraid we'll have to trouble Brother Dou to push our boat back."

Zuo Le pointed to the small boat. Although a box of cargo was lost due to the boat flipping over, most of the items were still there.

If Badou is willing to help, he can tow the damaged boat back.

However, this kind of thankless task...

Ba Dou glanced at Zuo Le with a look of disgust.

Although they had just sworn brotherhood and called each other brothers.

Wouldn't it be exhausting to have it drag the ship all the way back to Shanghai?

Moreover, if he goes back from here, he can return through the space-traveling ritual of reverse spirit communication, but if he goes to the Shanghai docks, he really has to swim back.

"This matter..."

Zuo Le could tell from Ba Dou's hesitant expression that it was unwilling.

That's understandable; when it comes to helping your brothers fight, many people will jump in without hesitation.

But if you ask me to carry my brother for two miles, probably not many people would agree, so I can only offer them a large reward.

"When we get to the dock, I'll bring you two cases of good wine, and a few cases of meat and sausages. I guarantee you'll have a great time when you get back."

"What if we get caught and killed by a powerful human?"

This wasn't the first time Badou had mentioned how terrifying strong humans were, and Zuo Le had no idea what it had experienced.

“Brother Dou, your status is different now. You are a proper spirit beast.”

"It seems so. My buddy also got a permanent position. But I'm still a little worried."

"Practice makes perfect, Brother Dou."

After Zuo Le's repeated persuasion, Ba Dou finally agreed to the request to drag them back to Shanghai.

However, Zuo Le stayed in the cabin to take care of the unconscious Liu Guodong.

Tuqi, on the other hand, sat on the back of the crab.

If Zuo Le had a chance to take a look at Ba Dou right now, he would have found that the crab, who had been so arrogant just moments before, was now trembling with fear.

Its two little round eyes would occasionally steal a glance at Tuqi.

If crabs could sweat, this one would probably be drenched in sweat.

It was as if I had seen something terrifying.

At this moment, Badou had already cursed Zuo Lejia's ancestral graves twice in its heart, but it didn't dare to utter a sound and diligently escorted the boat on its way.

Sitting atop the crab's back, Tuqi had already noticed these subtle movements, but she paid them no mind, merely curving her lips slightly as she gazed into the distance at the night sea...

It drifted and glided along the way.

Liu Guodong, who had been in a coma, then woke up.

Seeing the damaged hull and the giant crab, he was startled and looked at Zuo Le:

"Holy crap, are they going to go this far?"

"Thankfully, it's stable." Zuo Le nodded calmly.

Liu Guodong scratched his forehead, still feeling dizzy, and he had no memory of how he had lost consciousness.

It just felt so sudden...

"Sigh, I remember the battle was already over, and my younger brother and sister-in-law were treating my injuries. How did I faint?"

Zuo Le remained silent for two seconds. He couldn't very well tell Liu Guodong that he had been knocked unconscious by Tu Qi's elbow, could he?

So he could only come up with a very clumsy lie:

"We then encountered another wave of attacks, but it turned out well."

"Oh, that's fine."

Liu Guodong felt something was off, but he didn't really want to investigate it, because he was just a sailor, and Zuo Le was the thug.

And as Zuo Le himself said.

The result was good.

After Liu Guodong woke up, there were naturally people to repair the boat.

He fiddled with the engine for a while, getting the propeller spinning again.

With the propeller's thrust, the crabs saved a lot of effort.

However, they still had to constantly maintain the ship's balance and pump water from time to time, but even so, their speed increased several times over.

We soon returned to the old sluice gate.

Once ashore, Zuo Le immediately arranged for Bai Lu's men to unload the cargo, repair the boat, and also bring over the wine and meat he had promised Ba Dou.

For a summoned beast, money has no special meaning.

Wine and meat are the real hard currency!

"Thank you very much this time, Brother Dou."

Standing at the gate, Zuo Le sincerely thanked him and stuffed a large sausage into Ba Dou's mouth.

He felt that without Ba Dou, the outcome would have been very uncertain.

But Ba Dou secretly glanced at Tu Qi standing on the shore, then, with a 'righteous' expression, stretched out his pincers and poked Zuo Le:

"Hey, buddies."

After hanging the packaged wine and meat on Ba Dou, Zuo Le silently saw the crab off.

They then hitched a ride with the truck that Xu Jing had sent to pick up the goods, and began unloading and loading.

After settling everything, Zuo Le returned to Bailu with his men, treated the brothers who had come to help with the goods to a drink, put all the money on his tab, and promised them red envelopes later.

This trip to the mushroom forest has finally come to an end.

To be honest, this trip was more intense than Zuo Le had imagined, and he was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

After washing his face in the bathroom, Zuo Le glanced at his watch and discovered that it had stopped working because it was wet.

Feeling inexplicably irritated, I casually tossed the watch into the trash can.

At this moment, Tu Qi's voice suddenly appeared beside Zuo Le:

"4:51".

Zuo Le was stunned for a moment, then stood frozen in place for a full five seconds without moving.

He didn't know why Tuqi hadn't left.

In short, they didn't leave...

Whether it was because Zuo Le remained silent or because the matter had come to an end, Tu Qi put on her coat and turned to leave.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Zuo Le awkwardly opened her mouth.

He felt he should say thank you or apologize, just as he hadn't been able to do on the ship.

This reason became the driving force behind his journey to Tuqi.

Until he grabbed Tuqi's arm.

Tu Qi turned around and looked at Zuo Le:

"Is something wrong?"

When they met last time, he felt that Tuqi was teasing, seducing, or even flirting with him.

But the problem is, what if he did all these things to Tuqi before?

He was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time.

Innocent and naive, in the prime of youth.

Should this kind of person be electrocuted directly?

Going through this process would make anyone feel guilty.

Moreover, the deeper meaning behind Tuqi's actions is...

You remembered the past.

Once you remember the past, you should confront it directly.

The two of them could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Tuqi's tone; in fact, it is quite normal.

But Zuo Le just felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Deep down, Zuo Le couldn't accept this kind of relationship, but she didn't know how they should interact.

An apology or a thank you that was about to be spoken turned into a question that had lost its meaning:

Are you going back now?

"What, you don't want me to go back?"

Although Tu Qi's face was expressionless, Zuo Le had a feeling that she was smiling...

Her eyes were smiling.

"It's almost dawn, and there are no cars around at this hour. Should we find a place to rest and go back in the morning?"

Zuo Le almost slapped himself after saying that.

He felt like he was being deliberately staged for an accident.

And this is a bar street, where can they go to rest?

However, after hearing his suggestion, Tuqi actually turned around and considered it for a moment.

Finally, she actually nodded:
