Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as the injured Gu Liancheng was about to be dragged away, Gu Chilie roared at Chu Tianbao, “If you still treat me as your father, return your sister to me!’

Chu Tianbao finally looked him in the eye. ‘There are family laws and national laws. Even if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished the same way as the commoners. ‘

Gu Chilie had fought for Chu Shixiong’s ambitious dreams all his life and raised his son for him. They had agreed to share blessings and hardships together, but now, he could not even protect his daughter.

In an instant, his heart fell to the bottom. With a cold gaze, he said, “Good! Good! Good! From now on, l, Gu Chilie, don’t have a son like you!’

Gu Chilie pulled up his robe and tore it off. He stepped hard into the soil, as if he wanted to step Chu Tianbao into the soil too.

Chu Tianbao met his gaze, as if complicated emotions were surging.

Bai Wutong looked at Chu Tianbao, feeling depressed.

At this moment, You Huaijie suddenly went forward to beg for mercy for Gu

Liancheng. “Marshal Gu has contributed greatly to Ling Kingdom. Duke and Consort, please have mercy.”

This was Bai Wutong’s plan. If You Huaijie pleaded for mercy, Gu Chilie would be able to take Gu Liancheng away.

After learning her lesson, Gu Liancheng would no longer dare to be impudent in the future. Gu Chilie would probably keep a close eye on her.

After all, there was a high chance that Chu Tianbao was not Gu Chilie’s biological son. If he had the intention to rebel, there would be endless disasters if a war started. The people would suffer the most.

When the commoners saw You Huaijie pleading for Gu Chilie, they suddenly remembered that Gu Chilie was Marshal Gu, who had conquered the southern frontier and was also Chu Tianbao’s father. Although the woman who had been hit 30 times was bad, she was indeed Chu Tianbao’s sister.

Everyone’s originally impassioned anger suddenly subsided. They quietly watched Chu Tianbao and waited for his decision.

Chu Tianbao glanced at Bai Wutong. ‘Take her away and never take a step into

Carefree City. ”

Gu Chilie did not feel that Chu Tianbao was being merciful. Instead, he seemed to have suffered the greatest humiliation in his life and erupted with hatred.

He picked up the unconscious Gu Liancheng and took one last look at Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao before turning to leave.

Meng Weiwei hesitated and finally chose to catch up with her mother.

Gu Chilie, Gu Liancheng, and everyone else had disappeared. However, everyone was not as happy as they had imagined. Instead, their eyelids twitched, and their hearts were indescribably heavy.

Bai Wutong held Chu Tianbao’s hand and walked to the beach. The two of them strolled on the beach without saying a word, allowing the sea breeze, white waves, sunlight, and beach to heal their souls.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind. Chu Tianbao took off his coat and covered her. “Are you still cold?’

Bai Wutong shook her head. “Not cold.”

Chu Tianbao asked again, “Are you tired?”

Bai Wutong smiled. “I’m not tired. Let’s go to the front and take a look. The tide is about to subside. We might catch some seafood.”

They reached the reef. The tide had half receded, revealing a dark reef. It was very slippery to walk on. Chu Tianbao carefully supported her.

Bai Wutong was also very careful and did not dare to go too far in. She stood on a flat reef and watched.

As she looked, she saw something incredible.

The huge octopus jumped into the gap between the rocks with a whoosh. Its two fat tentacles did not have time to retract together and were still squirming. Bai Wutong shouted happily, “Tianbao, there’s an octopus there!”

This was the first time Bai Wutong had seen a creature in the sea and could accurately call out its name. Chu Tianbao was not surprised. Instead, he followed the direction Bai Wutong pointed and grabbed the octopus from between the gap.

This octopus weighed more than five kilograms. It was bright red and had a super powerful suction. It was really, really big.

Bai Wutong introduced excitedly, “The octopus is especially fragrant no matter if it’s mixed with sesame oil or grilled, stir-fried, braised, or stewed. The meat is crispy and smooth, and it’s very nutritious and protein-rich.”

This was the first time Chu Tianbao had seen such a creature. When he heard the words nutritional protein, he knew that it was very good for pregnant women. Chu Tianbao immediately said, “I’ll catch a few more.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tianbao realized that there was a big octopus under the reef where they were. They should be a pair. Bai Wutong said happily, “Quick, there’s more here.”

Chu Tianbao grabbed the previous octopus with one hand and quickly grabbed another octopus.

As soon as he scooped it up, Bai Wutong exclaimed again. This octopus seemed to be a male and weighed a few kilograms more than the one he had caught just now.

It twisted in Chu Tianbao’s hand, wanting to entangle him to death.

After capturing two big octopuses in a row, Bai Wutong saw the gradually subsiding tide and was excited to rush to the sea. She said to Chu Tianbao,

“Let’s find something to store it. ‘

These two guys were both experts at escaping. If they were placed in the surrounding shallow pits, they could disappear in a short while.

There was nothing around. They were about to go back and look for their weapons when Cui Muzhi, who had followed them, waved the starfish in his hand. ‘Madam Bai, look what I found. It’s so beautiful!”

The starfish that Cui Muzhi had picked up was bright red with beautiful patterns on its back and a little blue on the edges.

Bai Wutong smiled and said, “It’s so beautiful. Look what we caught.”

Everyone looked at Chu Tianbao’s hand and their eyes widened.

They had never seen such a terrifying tentacle creature. Cui Lingyi took a step back slightly, and Sheng Huaixuan reached out to support her.

Stinky was different. He pointed at the octopus in Lin Yue’s arms and drooled.

“Eat, eat, eat…”

Haha, he was actually the only one present who knew what was good.

Cui Muzhi asked in horror, “Can this be eaten?”

Bai Wutong smiled and nodded. “It’s edible and especially delicious. Go get someone to bring the tools over. The tide is about to ebb and we can still pick up a lot of things. Let’s have a seafood barbecue feast today.”

Seafood barbecue dinner!!!

Everyone’s eyes lit up. They no longer felt so disgusted when they looked at the octopus.

Since such an ugly creature could be eaten, Cui Muzhi immediately weighed the starfish and asked, “Can it be eaten?”

Bai Wutong knew a lot. It would not be wrong to ask her.

Bai Wutong smiled. “The starfish can be eaten, but only the seeds inside can be eaten. Moreover, we have to specially look for big starfishes.”

The one in Cui Muzhi’s hand was only the size of a palm. There were clearly not many seeds inside.

Cui Muzhi was not disappointed. He squatted down and placed it in the pit. “Then I’ll put it back first and eat it when it grows up.”

Soon, the servants brought over buckets and baskets. Everyone was excited to try.

Chu Tianbao carried the basket while Bai Wutong was in charge of looking for a target.

After a while, she shouted happily, “Everyone, come and take a look!”

Everyone ran over and saw Bai Wutong pointing at a huge rock. “Abalone!!!” Everyone looked around and finally realised what was abalone.

A mollusk with a shell was sucking hard on the rock. There were at least dozens of them on this side.

All of them were the size of a fist..
