Chapter 1847: Capítulo 1847: Chapter 1850

“It’s a sea turtle.”

“Wow, such a big sea turtle.”

The girls were all excited. Such a large sea turtle is really rare to see!

Even Xiaoyao’s eyes slightly trembled, feeling incredulous at such a find.

As they got closer, Mu Xiaojiu completely pulled it to the side of the yacht.

However, the sea turtle had a diameter of eighty centimeters, weighing at least two hundred pounds.

Trying to pull it out of the sea was extremely difficult.

The sea turtle struggled on the surface, but its movements remained slow.

It wanted to escape, but its mouth had already been hooked, with blood oozing out.

“How old is this sea turtle?” Baili Xia watched the turtle, a trace of reluctance flickering in her eyes.

“At least two hundred years old,” Xiaoyao replied flatly from the side.

Two hundred years, a sea turtle that has lived for two hundred years, truly long-lived.

“So old,” Baili Xia sighed.

Xiaoyao glanced at her, taking in the reluctance on her face.

“Two hundred years isn’t old for a sea turtle; it’s only middle-aged.”

Baili Xia nodded woodenly, “It’s so pitiful.”

She inexplicably felt that capturing such a cute and old turtle to become people’s food was a bit too cruel.

Her heart was deeply moved; it was already so old, why such a tragic end?

In the depths of memory, it seemed as if tiny flames grew brighter, resonating with the turtle’s fate.

Who… who ended so miserably in their old age?

And who makes her heart ache the moment she thinks of them?

Who on earth…

“No! Don’t hurt him!” Baili Xia suddenly held her head, crying out in pain.

“What’s going on?” Mu Xiaojiu casually tossed the fishing rod to Ye Hua and strode over.

Before Xiaoyao could, he held Baili Xia’s trembling shoulders with both hands, “Girl! What’s wrong? Where are you feeling unwell?”

As he shook her, Baili Xia immediately regained her senses.

Seeing everyone looking at her in confusion, she exhaled softly, unable to explain what had just happened.

Shaking her head, she said softly, “I just feel… so sorry for it…”

“It’s so old, can’t we let it go?”

Without hesitating further, Baili Xia looked at Mu Xiaojiu and blurted out.

“Such a big sea turtle is hard to catch, would it be a waste to let it go?” Mu Ziying spoke up; this was also what most people were thinking.

Ning Anran looked at Mu Xiaojiu, only to see him still as nonchalant as before, as if he hadn’t heard Baili Xia’s words.

She cleared her throat and said, “Yes, this was caught with great effort by Uncle, how can we waste his efforts?”

Just as she finished speaking, a sharp glance shot over from Baili Xia’s side.

“Only a woman like you would be so heartless. It’s so old and cute, why must it be eaten?”

“I…” Ning Anran was at a loss for words, not expecting Baili Xia to openly call her heartless in front of so many people.

To call someone heartless—how severe an accusation is that for a girl?

Perhaps even Baili Xia didn’t know why she was suddenly so harsh to Ning Anran.

Heartless… those words were indeed severe.

But… why didn’t she feel any regret after saying it? Instead, it felt justified?

No matter how much she disliked Ning Anran, saying that without reason seemed… uncalled for.

Ning Anran, struck by Baili Xia’s words, lowered her head as a touch of desolation passed through her eyes.

At the corner of her eye, a large teardrop slowly began to seep out…
