I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2044 Tit for tat
"Swish"

The scalpel danced like a snake in Liu Jun's hand, and every swing was extremely precise. The six tentacles were cut off in an instant. Chen Manni's heart beat freely, blood flowed again, and her vital signs gradually stabilized.

Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, but did not relax his vigilance. He knew that this strange centipede was not an ordinary thing and must be completely eliminated, otherwise Chen Manni's life would still be threatened.

He quickly took out several bottles of special medicine from the medicine box and mixed them together to form a strong corrosive liquid. Liu Jun carefully dripped the liquid on the centipede, and the centipede's body began to dissolve rapidly, making a harsh hissing sound.

Chen Manni's face gradually regained its rosy color, and her breathing became steady. Liu Jun gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not relax his vigilance. Although the corrosive agent was specially made by him and would not cause any particular harm to Chen Manni's body, he still needed to ensure that the strange centipede did not leave any residue in Chen Manni's body. After all, the centipede's origin was unknown, and its toxicity was extremely rare. If he was not careful, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liu Jun's fingers gently rested on Chen Manni's pulse, feeling her gradually steady heartbeat. His eyes were calm, and his mind quickly recalled every detail of the operation. After confirming that everything was correct, he gently put Chen Manni's wrist back into the quilt, ready to do the final wound treatment.

At this moment, the wooden boat suddenly vibrated slightly and seemed to have stopped. Liu Jun frowned slightly, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. His intuition was always sharp, and at this moment he felt a dangerous aura approaching quietly nearby. The aura was cold and oppressive, as if some powerful existence was approaching.

Liu Jun's eyes swept across the cabin window. The sky outside had darkened. The sea breeze was howling, and the waves were hitting the hull, making a low roar.

He thought to himself that the ship had just left the Sea People City less than two hours ago and was still within the Sea Beast Tribe's sphere of influence, so it was reasonable that no accidents should have happened. However, the abnormality at this moment forced him to be alert.

"Dong, dong, dong—" A series of hurried footsteps approached from far away, interrupting Liu Jun's thoughts. The footsteps were heavy and hurried, and it was obvious that someone was rushing over. Liu Jun turned his eyes to the cabin door, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

"Your Highness, the Eden messengers from Qianyu City have arrived, led by the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor!" The captain's voice rang out outside the cabin, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his tone.

Liu Jun frowned even more. The birdmen from Qianyu City? And the eight-winged birdmen were leading the team? This was a problem.

Not only is this eight-winged birdman incredibly powerful, but he also has a deep hatred for them. If they meet him, the fight will definitely be to the death.

But he now had a small question, that is how the eight-winged birdman found them in the vast ocean.

"Let Boss Yao and the others hold on for a while. I haven't finished dealing with this yet." Liu Jun responded calmly, without any panic in his tone.

He knew that the most important thing at the moment was to complete the operation on Chen Manni and ensure her safety first. As for the situation outside, it could only be temporarily handed over to Boss Yao and the others to deal with.

"Okay, Your Highness." The captain responded immediately, and then footsteps were heard again, obviously going to convey Liu Jun's words.

Liu Jun took a deep breath and refocused his attention on Chen Manni. His fingers deftly sewed her wound, his movements were quick and precise. Although the situation outside made him feel a little uneasy, he knew that he had to stay calm and not make any mistakes.

Outside the cabin, the sea breeze was howling, and the waves were hitting the hull, making a low roar. Liu Jun could vaguely hear the noise coming from outside, which seemed to be the sound of a large group of people.

Only after Chen Manni's wound was completely sutured did Liu Jun breathe a sigh of relief and hurried out of the cabin.

He was now more curious about what was happening outside the cabin. There was no fight.

Logically speaking, the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor and they definitely had a deep blood feud and would not be polite when meeting each other. However, although there was constant noise this time, there was no obvious fluctuation of spiritual power, so he was sure that no fight had broken out.

When he came to the deck and saw the scene outside, he understood everything instantly.

The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor, along with all the Six-Winged Princes and a large number of Four-Winged Messengers, surrounded their ship.

But not far from them, the dense army of sea beasts were already eyeing them covetously, as if they were going to weaken them if they dared to take action.

Standing at the front of the sea beast tribe was Liu Jun’s good brother, the eldest prince of the sea beast tribe.

At this time, the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor's face turned pale, and it was obvious that he had not expected this situation.

Liu Jun stood on the deck, looking around, secretly feeling lucky. The appearance of the eldest prince of the sea beast clan undoubtedly bought him precious time, otherwise, the eight-winged birdman would have taken action long ago.

The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor stared coldly at the Great Prince of the Sea Beast Tribe, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes. He had originally planned to annihilate Liu Jun and his group in one fell swoop, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway. The appearance of the Great Prince of the Sea Beast Tribe disrupted his overall plan.

It's not that he was afraid of the eldest prince of the sea beast tribe, but this was the territory of the sea beast tribe. The sea beast tribe had the advantage of time, place and people. If a real fight broke out, the other side would have a steady stream of reinforcements, which would surely drag them to death. Even if they couldn't keep him, leaving his men behind would be enough to seriously damage the vitality of the Eden clan.

"Prince of the Sea Beast Tribe, what do you mean?" asked the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor in a deep voice, with a hint of suppressed anger in his voice.

The eldest prince of the Sea Beast Tribe smiled slightly, his eyes calm. "Your Majesty, Liu Jun is my brother. He just came to visit our Sea Beast Tribe. Can't I come and see him off?"

"Showing away the guests? With so many people? And sending them here?" The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor's face turned dark.

"We in the sea beast tribe are particular about appearance, and having more people shows respect. Besides, isn't there a saying that goes, 'After sending you a thousand miles, we must eventually say goodbye. Can't I send you ten thousand miles before we say goodbye?" The eldest prince said with a smile.

After these words were spoken, Liu Jun almost couldn't help laughing out loud. Why didn't he realize before that the eldest prince was so good at confronting people? He was not afraid of being angered to death by this eight-winged bird man.

Sure enough, the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor's face became even darker, and he was furious, as if he was going to attack in the next second. The Six-Winged Prince and the Four-Winged Messengers behind him also showed nervous expressions. Although they were numerous, they were obviously not sure of winning against the army of the Sea Beasts.

Liu Jun stood on the deck, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that the Sea Beast Tribe's eldest prince was undoubtedly blocking a knife for him. He remembered this friendship in his heart, but he couldn't watch the Sea Beast Tribe suffer too many casualties. After all, he knew the situation of the Sea Beast Tribe and they didn't have that many troops.

"Yu Huang, why don't we just let today's matter go. How about we settle our grudge another day?" Liu Jun said in a loud voice.

The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor was silent for a moment, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He knew very well that if he forced a battle today, not only would it be difficult to win, but he might also suffer heavy losses. Finally, he snorted coldly, waved his hand, and signaled his men to retreat.

“Liu Jun, you are lucky today. But we will have to settle our accounts sooner or later!” The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor said coldly, and then quickly left the scene with his men.

Liu Jun looked at the back of the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor as he left, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at the eldest prince of the Sea Beast Tribe and said gratefully, "Brother, thank you very much."

"Why should I thank you between you and me? However, the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor will not give up easily, so you still have to be more careful." The eldest prince was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Liu Jun was thinking just now.

In fact, if Liu Jun took action now, their sea beast tribe would certainly follow suit. However, in that case, more than half of the sea beast soldiers he brought with him would probably be killed in the battle. After all, these birdmen were not good people.

However, Liu Jun did not choose to take action, but instead removed the sea beast tribe from the feud. This character made him worthy of being his recognized friend.

"Don't worry, but I'll have to trouble you to give us a ride again. It would be best if you could take us to the vicinity of Donglai Port," said Liu Jun.

He knew his own strengths and weaknesses. Although he was confident in his own abilities, he also knew that if they didn't have the help of the sea beasts, they would really have a hard time fighting with those birdmen.

There is no need for anything else, an Eight-Winged Feather Emperor is enough to pin all of them to the ground.

Therefore, it is best to let the sea beasts escort them. At least it will make the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor be cautious and not dare to act rashly.

"No problem, just go ahead and don't worry." The eldest prince of the sea beast tribe laughed, and then led the sea beast army to retreat slowly. Only occasionally one or two big fish full of sea beast soldiers would float to the surface of the sea to remind everyone that they were still there.

On the deck, only Liu Jun and his companions were left, and peace returned to the surroundings.

Inside the cabin, Chen Manni lay quietly on the soft bed, her face pale but her breathing steady. Her maid Xiaolu stood by the bed, her eyes full of concern.

Liu Jun, Yao Guangxiao and others had just walked into the cabin from the deck. When Xiaolu saw them, she immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily, and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, Thank you for saving my young lady!"

Liu Jun was startled by this sudden gift and quickly stepped forward to help Xiaolu up: "Hey, what are you doing? Get up, get up!"

Xiaolu was stubborn and refused to stand up, tears welling up in her eyes: "Your Highness, I have no way to repay your kindness, I can only kowtow to express my gratitude!"

Liu Jun was embarrassed and scratched his head: "This... this really doesn't have to be like this. Saving Chen Manni is what I should do. It's enough for you to have a grateful heart. There's really no need to do such a big gift."

Seeing this, Yao Guangxiao smiled slightly, stood in front of Liu Jun, and said to Xiaolu gently: "Xiaolu, you take care of your young lady first. I think Chen Manni looks much better, she should be waking up soon. It's not too late to thank you later."

Xiaolu then slowly stood up, wiped her tears, returned to Chen Manni's bed, and gently tucked the corner of the quilt for her.

The atmosphere in the cabin gradually eased. Liu Jun breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the window, and looked at the sparkling sea outside with extremely complicated feelings.

This eight-winged birdman was like a thorn, piercing his body, but he couldn't pull it out, which was really uncomfortable.

Yao Guangxiao walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry too much. We have the sea beasts escorting us on the sea. When we get to land, we will ask General Wu Yi for help. That birdman won't dare to act rashly."

"Well, I know, but I would rather get rid of the eight-winged birdman in one go, otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well," Liu Jun replied.

"There are difficulties, but there will be solutions," said Yao Guangxiao.

At this moment, Chen Manni's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes. Xiaolu shouted in surprise: "Miss, you are awake!"

Chen Manni's eyes were a little confused, but she quickly focused on Xiaolu's face and said weakly, "Xiaolu, where am I?"

Xiaolu held her hand and said excitedly: "Miss, we are still on the boat. You just had an operation. Did you forget that it was His Royal Highness the Son of God who performed the operation on you?"

Chen Manni turned to look at Liu Jun, her eyes full of gratitude: "Your Highness, thank you..."

Liu Jun waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, you just woke up, don't get excited. Have a good rest and talk after you recover."

Chen Manni smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Your Highness, I, Chen Manni, will remember your kindness in my heart and will repay you in the future."

Liu Jun looked helpless: "Okay, no problem, we'll talk when you recover."
