The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

"It’s over, why isn’t he waking up? Could he be dead?" The thought struck Commandery Princess Dongyang, and her face turned pale with tears welling up in her eyes. She hurriedly reached out to feel for Mu Shaoling’s breath and only when she detected a faint warmth, did Commandery Princess Dongyang finally come to her senses, relieved beyond measure.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness he’s not dead, or else I’d have to find someone else to marry. These days, it’s so hard to find a man that’s easy on the eyes. At least in Yunnan, aside from my father and brother, there are none, and there aren’t many in the Capital City either. You are the only one..." Realizing he wasn’t dead, Commandery Princess Dongyang was so happy that she began to speak incoherently in her excitement.

Just as Mu Shaoling was coming to, he almost passed out again upon hearing this.

Look at her, acting like it wouldn’t matter who she marries, so why the hell is she sticking to me? Why must she force me into marriage? Can’t she just stay away from me?

Mu Shaoling was feeling haughty, and upon opening his eyes, he fixed a steady glare on Commandery Princess Dongyang, who was left speechless, the words caught in her throat.

Before she could recover, he glared at her and snorted, "Truly annoying to death."

He then stood up, surveying the surroundings—all sea water—and, with no other choice, began walking towards the only island in sight.

By the time Commandery Princess Dongyang snapped out of it, he had already walked quite a distance, and Dongyang hurried to follow him.

"Mu Shaoling? Look, didn’t the Commandery Princess keep up without dragging you down? Still saying you shouldn’t have brought me, if you hadn’t, you would have drowned in..." The words "the sea" were about to follow but she swallowed them when Mu Shaoling suddenly turned to glare at her.

She had no clue that Mu Shaoling was now seething with embarrassed rage!

Yes, Mu Shaoling was feeling exceedingly awkward and irritable at the moment.

To think that he, the premier divine physician of Great Zhou, with supreme martial skills and unparalleled medical and poison expertise, turned out to be a complete landlubber.

Indeed, he was a landlubber, helpless in the water.

Speaking seriously, they were quite fortunate to have Commandery Princess Dongyang this time.

It was like this: he had set out to find medicinal herbs and for some reason, he just couldn’t find the small island he had visited before.

Therefore, he had no choice but to look to other islands, and he would search each one as they passed by, but still, he found no fish mint.

With June approaching, if they didn’t find fish mint soon, they would have to wait until next year.

But as luck would have it, after nearly a month adrift at sea, they finally found the fish mint in late May, making the trip worthwhile.

After finding the fish mint, they prepared to sail back ashore quickly.

However, on the way back, they encountered a band of pirates. After a grueling battle, and as there were not many pirates, they were quickly defeated.

But this is when the problem arose.

Though they had won, several of their own men were injured, and combined with the casualties of the pirates, the strong stench of blood was unbearable. What’s more, it awakened something in the sea.

Roaring, they were attacked—by a creature resembling a monster, huge in size.

Those creatures were incredibly ferocious. Their ship, so large and sturdy, could not withstand their assault. And those beasts moved in groups, just like an army of humans, synchronizing their attack on the target.

In the very end, Mu Shaoling thought of using poison. Seeing the dead pirates on the deck, he poured his deadliest concoction into their mouths and wounds, then threw the bodies to the monstrous creatures.
