Su Mo calmly said, "If you don't dare to go, I'll find someone else."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"No, no, no!" The middle-aged man was alarmed when he saw this and quickly reached out to block Su Mo's way. "We can go."

Su Mo stopped and looked at him with a half-smile: "Oh? Weren't you scared just now? How come you dare to go now?"

The middle-aged man chuckled awkwardly and explained, "To be honest, young master, although the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is extremely fierce, its left eye was blinded by the Sea God."

According to the patterns discovered by those of us who frequently travel by sea, the animal's head faces east in spring and autumn, and west in summer and winter.

As long as we sail along the side where it is blind and are careful, we won't easily offend it.

He spoke eloquently, gesturing directions as he spoke, clearly demonstrating a good understanding of the area.

Then, he paused, rubbing his hands together:

"But as for the compensation... well, that route is indeed dangerous, and the brothers will have to take on more risks..."

"Money is not a problem."

Su Mo was too lazy to waste words with him, so she casually took out a money pouch and tossed it over without even looking at it.

The middle-aged man reacted quickly and caught it.

The bag felt quite heavy when I picked it up.

He shook it again, and a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds came from inside, which made him overjoyed.

He quickly untied the rope at the top of the bag and looked inside. The golden light almost blinded him; the bag was full of gold soul coins!

Good heavens! So generous! This is practically a fat, juicy sheep!

He quickly calculated in his mind that if this trip went smoothly, he and his brothers would probably not have to work for the next few years.

"Can we set off now?" Su Mo asked calmly.

"Of course! Of course!" the middle-aged man replied hastily. "Please wait a moment, young master, I'll make the arrangements right away, and it will be ready soon!"

He turned and dashed towards the Flying Fish, waving to the men on deck as he ran and shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Get moving, everyone! Stop lying around! Time to get some work done!"

Su Mo stood with his hands behind his back, watching the middle-aged man's retreating figure, a barely perceptible sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.

Although the middle-aged man had concealed the unusual look in his eyes, Su Mo still managed to catch it.

But he didn't care.

They're just a bunch of clowns; they can't make a fuss.

A moment later, everything was ready.

The sails were already raised and the mooring lines were untied.

Su Mo stepped onto the deck, and the middle-aged man hurriedly came forward, introducing himself with a beaming smile:

"Young master, my name is Elke, and I am the captain of the Flying Fish. If you need anything on this voyage, just let me know, and I will make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

Su Mo nodded: "Understood."

Soon, amidst Elke's series of shouts, the Flying Fish slowly sailed away from the dock.

The huge sails were billowing in the sea breeze, and the bow of the ship cleaved through the azure sea, stirring up layers of waves.

The outline of Hanhai City behind them became increasingly blurred, shrinking little by little until it completely disappeared below the horizon.

Su Mo stood on the deck with his hands behind his back.

The sea breeze brings with it a salty, fishy smell.

……

Sunset.

As the sun sets below the horizon, it paints the entire sea a vibrant orange-red.

The shimmering seawater looked as if it had been splashed with a layer of broken gold, a beauty that took one's breath away.

Su Mo was sitting at the bow of the boat, watching the magnificent sunset and enjoying a rare moment of tranquility.

Suddenly, a man walked out of the cabin, his steps light and quick, and went straight to Su Mo.

He smiled and bowed slightly, saying:

"My lord, Captain Elke has prepared some wine and food especially for you."

Su Mo stood up: "Let's go."

He followed the man toward the cabin.

The two crossed the deck and went down the wooden stairs into the cabin.

The man led Su Mo to the door of a room at the end of the corridor, pushed it open, and respectfully said, stepping aside:

"Sir, this is the place. The food and wine are ready. Please come in."

Su Mo stepped inside.

The room wasn't large, but it was decorated quite elegantly.

A square wooden table is placed in the middle.

Several exquisite dishes, all seafood, were already laid out on the table.

On the table were also an exquisite white porcelain wine pot and a small wine cup.

"My lord, I will not disturb your meal any longer."

After the man finished speaking, he smiled and left, gently closing the door behind him.

Su Mo slowly sat down at the table, his gaze sweeping over the dishes and wine, his eyes calm and unwavering.

He took the white porcelain wine pot, slowly poured himself a cup of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Then he picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of steamed sea fish, and chewed it slowly.

The fish was tender, but something seemed to have been added to it...

Su Mo chuckled lightly and continued eating and drinking at a leisurely pace, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

Chapter 124 Hit a brick wall

Meanwhile, in a room at the other end of the ship's cabin.

Captain Elke and several men were gathered together.

The room was dimly lit, and several pairs of eyes gleamed greedily in the shadows.

"Boss, I saw him down a whole glass of wine and eat several bites of food with my own eyes."

The man who had led Su Mo earlier said.

"Good! Well done!" Captain Elke exclaimed excitedly.

"That pot of wine was filled with plenty of Soul-Eating Powder. It would knock out even a Soul Emperor, let alone a mere brat like him!"

Another man licked his chapped lips, his eyes filled with greed:

"Although that kid looks extraordinary, he's so young, how strong can he be?"

Even if he were truly skilled, the Soul-Eating Powder would leave one feeling weak and devoid of soul power shortly after ingestion.

At that point, he'll be like a fish on a chopping board, completely at our mercy.

"Haha, that's right!"

Another burly man excitedly rubbed his two rough hands together.

"I think that kid can pull out a bag of gold soul coins so easily, he must have more than that on him, maybe even some better treasures."

"Alright, don't get too excited yet."

Elke pressed his hand down, a seasoned sneer appearing on his face.

"We'll go over in a little while, once the medicine has fully taken effect."

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in hushed tones, their eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

After a while.

Elke estimated the time and felt it was about right.

He winked at the men.

The group stood up and walked slowly toward Su Mo's room.

Everyone subconsciously slowed their pace.

Like a pack of jackals silently approaching their prey.

Soon, they arrived outside the door.

A man pressed his ear against the door, listening intently to what was happening inside.

It was very quiet; there wasn't a sound at all.

He nodded to Elke.

Elke grinned and pushed the door open forcefully.

The door creaked open.

He strode inside, followed closely by several men, all wearing menacing grins.

however……

At that moment, everyone froze in place.

Su Mo was sitting at the table, casually holding a wine glass in one hand, watching the crowd rush in with a half-smile.

His eyes were calm as still water, yet they carried an indescribable sense of oppression.

"What? Is it strange that I'm alright?"
