Chapter 128 - 123: Mr. Tang’s Gift! (Two in One)
After rushing to the beach, Han Qiwu saw Tang Qingying sitting on a rock waiting for him in the distance.
"Sorry, I kept trying to catch black sea bream but couldn’t, so I changed locations. Didn’t mean to make you worried," Han Qiwu said, scratching his head.
Next time he ventured into the secret realm, he’d need to be more careful.
Unnecessarily causing people to worry was never a good thing.
"It’s fine, maybe I overreacted a bit," Tang Qingying managed to force a smile, "Just promise me you’ll always be extra careful by the sea. There are plenty of fish to catch, but only one life to live. Don’t get too carried away."
"Got it." Han Qiwu nodded, sensing that Tang Qingying might have experienced something, though he wasn’t in a position to ask. He could only change the subject.
Changing topics was an art, especially when one sought to deal with an issue temporarily rather than fix it completely.
"The tide’s about to rise near the black sea bream spot, so why don’t we fish here for a bit instead?" Han Qiwu plopped down beside Tang Qingying, flipping his hand to take out the Red Cat’s Eye Stone from the storage compartment. "Mr. Tang, what do you think? Pretty, isn’t it?"
Hearing this, Tang Qingying turned her head and looked at the Red Cat’s Eye Stone.
Under the setting sun, Han Qiwu gently rotated it between his fingers. The center "cat’s eye" of the stone shifted between bright and dark, opening and closing distinctly—wide as the moon when open, sharp as a knife when shut.
