The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

"So...so you were catching fish. I thought something had happened. You really gave me a fright."

"It's good that you're alright... How can there be such a beautiful fish? Its colors are so vibrant, it's truly amazing."

Yang Xia couldn't help but sigh; he really liked this colorful fish.

Just as everyone was feeling curious, Meng Yin also came to Yang Xia's side. He saw the fish and liked it very much.

And looking at Yang Xia with great interest, he said, "Your Majesty... this fish is so beautiful, and it's huge."

"If we send such a magical fish to China as a gift, it will surely amaze them."

“This is a great opportunity for us. What do you think? Perhaps this is a gift from God, so that everything goes smoothly for us on our journey to China.”

When Yang Xia heard Meng Yin say these words, even though he really liked the fish, he was still upset.

But the thought of giving it to China as a gift made Yang Xia feel a little sad; he really didn't want to.

Besides, ever since Yang Xia saw this colorful fish, he has had a very strange feeling.

He couldn't help but feel a mysterious force in his mind, a force that kept warning him not to harm the fish.

Yang Xia didn't know what was going on, but this mysterious feeling was so strong that he couldn't shake it off.

Yang Xia stared at the colorful fish for a long time, seemingly troubled.

A moment later, Yang Xia turned to look at the crew members beside him and gave them instructions with a serious expression.

"Did you salvage it?"

"Yes... Your Majesty!"

"Since you were in charge of retrieving it, I now order you to release it back into the sea, to let it be free and return to where it belongs."

Yang Xia's sudden words surprised everyone and made them feel a little reluctant to part with him.

"Your Majesty... we went through so much trouble to catch it, and this fish is so beautiful, why do you want to put it back?"

"None of us would be willing to part with it, could we leave it behind?"

"No... We must release this fish back into the sea. There's no room for discussion. Let's get moving."

Yang Xia's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for the crew to speak, which made the crew members look at each other in bewilderment.

They dared not say anything more. Although there was some reluctance in their eyes, they still very reluctantly carried out Yang Xia's orders.

Mengyin, who was standing to the side, wanted to speak up for the crew at this moment, since they had gone to great lengths to haul the colorful fish up.

Now that they're giving up so easily, Meng Yin can understand how these crew members feel.

But looking back, Yang Xia's attitude was very firm, and Meng Yin didn't know what to do for the time being.

"Put it back... Everything must be carried out according to the King's orders, without any mistakes." Meng Yin also gave the order with a serious expression.

Seeing that there was no hope, the crew reluctantly released the colorful fish back into the sea.

Seeing the colorful fish return to the sea once again, it quickly wriggled its body and disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving the crew somewhat disappointed.

Yang Xia watched the colorful fish disappear into the sea, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Meanwhile, Meng Yin was carefully observing Yang Xia's expression. He was also curious about Yang Xia's actions and wondered what Yang Xia was thinking.

"Your Majesty... what's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood. Did something happen?"

“If you have anything bothering you, you can tell me and see if I can help you solve it. You must not keep it to yourself. You need to take care of your health,” Meng Yin asked tentatively from the side.

Just then, Yang Xia suddenly felt that he was not feeling well.

Moreover, this feeling grew stronger and stronger, making Yang Xia feel like he couldn't breathe, and even making him very anxious.

Yang Xia looked back and found that the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty had turned into a small black dot.

As far as the eye could see, there was only the vast and boundless sea. Yang Xia's mood instantly became very depressed and he felt very uncomfortable.

He took a deep breath, trying his best to control his emotions.

Meng Yin sensed that something was wrong with Yang Xia, so he stepped forward with concern and asked him.

"Your Majesty... what's wrong? You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

"You must tell me anything. You absolutely cannot hide anything from me. Your health is the most important thing."

Yang Xia glanced back at Meng Yin and, seeing his anxious expression, slowly shook his head.

"It's nothing... I just feel a little tightness in my chest, but it's nothing serious."

"Well... I really am feeling a bit unwell. I'll go back and rest for a bit. You don't need to tell anyone."

"If it's not urgent, it's best not to bother me. I should be fine after a rest. Don't be too nervous."

After hearing Yang Xia's words, Meng Yin didn't know what to say, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Yes, Your Majesty... If you need anything, remember to call me. I'll be here at all times."

Yang Xia nodded and walked into the cabin.

This puzzled Yang Xia. Everything was fine before, so how did it suddenly turn out like this, and why was he feeling increasingly uncomfortable?

Yang Xia walked into the cabin dejectedly, hesitated for a moment, and then lay down on the bed.

Suddenly, Yang Xia felt a wave of dizziness, followed by an uncontrollable chill throughout his body.

Yang Xia was even more puzzled. He thought to himself, "Strange... What's wrong with me? Why were there no signs before?"

"Could it be that I'm sick? That's impossible."

"But if it's not an illness, where do these symptoms come from, and why do they make me feel so uncomfortable?"

This puzzled Yang Xia. He quickly covered himself with the wool blanket next to him, but his condition did not improve.

Instead, the symptoms became more and more pronounced. At this moment, Yang Xia felt a bone-chilling cold all over his body and involuntarily curled up tightly. Before the symptoms could improve at all, Yang Xia began to vomit violently, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Yang Xia struggled to move his body, feeling a rush of energy to his head, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Yang Xia hugged himself tightly, his face looked terrible, and he was trembling uncontrollably.

Yang Xia wanted to shout for help, hoping that Meng Yin, who was guarding the door, would hear the commotion and come to him at that moment.

However, Yang Xia had no strength at all and couldn't even speak loudly, which made him quite nervous.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. When they first set off, Yang Xia didn't feel any discomfort in his body.

This sudden onset of symptoms caught Yang Xia off guard, and he didn't know how to save himself.

Yang Xia felt he shouldn't collapse at this time; he still had many things to finish.

Yang Xia looked outside with a stubborn expression, silently thinking to himself, "No... I must find a way to stand up. There are still very important things for me to do."

"It would be really unfair if he collapsed like this."

"I still need to take my fleet to China, and nothing can happen at this time."

Thinking about it, Yang Xia stood up shakily. Although it was extremely difficult for her, Yang Xia still tried her best to move her feet.

Yang Xia had just taken two steps forward when he seemed to see something flash before his eyes.

Yang Xia looked over curiously. Although it was a bit blurry, he seemed to see a face on the window.

When Yang Xia looked closely, he didn't find anything strange.

Yang Xia shook his head involuntarily, then slowly closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "It seems I was overthinking things, or perhaps I was just hallucinating."

"It seems there really is something wrong with my body. I must have been seeing things wrong. There was nothing on the window."

Yang Xia moved his body while trying to comfort himself.

At this moment, Meng Yin, who was guarding the door, did not hear any movement inside the cabin and had no idea what had happened to Yang Xia.

He remained there, his eyes fixed ahead, constantly watching his surroundings, never expecting Yang Xia to be in such a state.

Every time Yang Xia moved a step, he felt extremely uncomfortable all over.

Yang Xia wasn't sure if he was hallucinating because of his illness; there was a face moving in front of him, but he couldn't make it out clearly.

The scene vanished without a trace in just a moment.

Yang Xia looked around, trying to find anything else unusual, but found nothing.

At this moment, he began to feel nervous and quickened his pace to leave the room.

Panting, Meng Yin arrived on the deck and, noticing Yang Xia's unusual expression, quickly went to greet him.

Meng Yin noticed that Yang Xia was trembling all over, his face was ashen, and he was in extremely poor condition, so he became nervous.

He helped Yang Xia up and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why are you so pale and trembling? Are you sick? You were fine just now. Didn't you say you wanted to rest? What happened?"

Yang Xia took a breath and turned to Meng Yin urgently, saying, "Quick, get a doctor to check me out and see if I'm sick. I feel terrible all over, I'm dizzy, I keep vomiting, and I feel weak all over. I think I'm hallucinating. I don't know if it's something wrong with my body. A doctor will know if he can take a look."

Meng Ying was startled upon hearing Yang Xia's instructions and hurriedly fetched a doctor. Yang Xia then explained the situation in detail.

The doctor on board was an experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctor with superb medical skills and remarkable techniques.

After listening to Yang Xia's description, the old Chinese medicine doctor began to take his pulse. After a while, he frowned slightly, looked at Yang Xia and said, "Your Majesty, after my careful examination, there is nothing seriously wrong with your health. The reason you are experiencing this condition is most likely due to acclimatization issues. You need to rest more, and I will prescribe a few more doses of medicine to help you recover. You should be fine then, so please don't worry."

After listening to the old Chinese medicine doctor's words, Yang Xia finally felt a little relieved. As long as he was healthy, he was at ease.

He looked up at the old Chinese medicine doctor and said, "Alright then, as long as I'm fine, I'm relieved. Please prescribe some medicine for me to take care of myself. Thank you for your trouble."

The old Chinese medicine doctor carefully observed Yang Xia's complexion and, seeing that he was indeed in great discomfort, couldn't help but worry. He earnestly said to Yang Xia, "Your Majesty, are you feeling very unwell? After all, you rarely stay at sea for such a long time, and the journey has only just begun. If you feel unbearable or your symptoms don't improve, it might affect the exchanges between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Huaxia Kingdom. For your safety, our entire fleet might not be able to continue. Your Majesty, please think carefully and don't push yourself. Your health is the most important thing. We can make other plans after you recover."

The old Chinese medicine doctor strongly reminded Yang Xia, fearing that something unexpected might happen to his health.

Although the traditional Chinese medicine doctor couldn't see anything wrong with Yang Xia's body, he could tell from Yang Xia's expression that he was indeed in great pain, which worried him greatly, and he didn't even want Yang Xia to take the risk.

Yang Xia felt a chill run down his spine after hearing the old Chinese medicine doctor's words.

This trip to China was something he had planned for a long time. He was really unwilling to be forced to turn back because of this incident, having finally set off.

He forced a smile, clenched his fists, and said to the old Chinese medicine doctor and Meng Yin, "Don't worry, since I'm fine, I'll recover quickly under the old doctor's care. It won't affect the exchanges between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Huaxia Kingdom. We can't turn back now, otherwise all our previous efforts will be wasted. It's just a change in environment, I can bear it. I can handle it, don't worry. I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

Yang Xia forced himself to stay upright, not wanting to worry everyone or hear any advice to turn back.

Although he was feeling unwell, he couldn't appear sickly in front of others, lest it cause panic and confusion.

Yang Xia turned to look at the crew members and found that they were all busy.

He didn't want to bother them, but he felt incredibly bored.

Yang Xia slowly walked over, sat silently on the deck, felt the sea breeze on his face, and admired the scenery.

He felt his symptoms lessen slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. His gaze drifted into the distance, a complex mix of emotions swirling within him.

Just then, Yang Xia saw a huge rainbow suddenly appear on the sea not far away, it was extremely beautiful.

But the moment the rainbow appeared, he felt intense dizziness.

Yang Xia quickly closed his eyes, trying his best to calm himself down.

He silently wondered, "How strange, why do I feel dizzy when I see a rainbow? What's going on? I've never had this symptom before, I really can't figure it out. What's wrong with me? Where is the problem?"

Yang Xia pondered, his heart filled with doubt and curiosity.

He recalled his state when he first boarded the ship; he was lively and energetic, without any discomfort.

But now things are completely different; perhaps it's not just a matter of acclimatization as the old Chinese medicine doctor said. (End of Chapter)
