The days of sailing on the sea are leisurely and boring. With so many different kinds of people living on a ship, friction and conflicts are inevitable.

Fortunately, those who dare to do this business are not easy to deal with. This ship belongs to a famous maritime merchant, and the ship is equipped with a very powerful guard team, who escort the ship while resolving conflicts and maintaining order.

"I heard that two martial artists started fighting over a beautiful girl."

"Hehe, a pair of mandarin ducks who are trying to escape live in the second class cabin. They are the apprentice and his wife."

"There was a fight in the first class cabin. The rich businessman's wife drugged his concubine..."

With Du Yishui, who likes to join in the fun, Jiang Xue Ning can hear a lot of gossip every day.

The sun, the moon and the stars were bright that day. Bingtong played the piano to liven up the atmosphere. A table was set up on the deck and everyone sat down to have a few drinks.

Jing Yu's eyes turned red from drinking, and he looked at her eagerly, "If one day I'm in danger, will you come all the way to save me?"

Jiang Xue Ning reached out and patted his dog's head, "Be good, don't curse yourself like this."

Bai Yu looked up at the starry sky and said with nostalgia, "These days of drifting on the sea are quite interesting."

She was used to being busy in Xiangchu, and she relaxed in the sea breeze every day, which made her feel calmer.

After the song ended, she pulled Tianlang's ears and fed him some dried meat. "It's late, let's all go."

Maybe because of the alcohol, she fell asleep quickly.

"what!"

Tianlang jumped up from the ground and looked outside the door vigilantly.

Jiang Xue Ning was also awakened by the shrill screams. She sat up with a start, quickly changed her clothes and got out of bed.

Soon there was a knock on the door. It was Wu Jin.

"Young Master, are you okay?"

When she walked outside, everyone changed her way of addressing her and no longer called her "Prince".

She walked over and opened the door, "It's okay."

The night outside was as dark as water, and inexplicably a bit creepy. Soon everyone in the upper class cabin was alarmed and turned on the lights.

When they went out, quite a few people had already gathered on the deck, and some of the women were obviously very frightened.

Soon, Shang Jia's guards arrived, led by a man named Shang Xun. After asking a few questions, he quickly took people to check it out.

Soon the crowd began to stir and move forward.

"The person in trouble is a guest staying in cabin number seven."

Du Yishui was not tired at all, and said excitedly, "Let's go and take a look too."

A group of them followed the crowd and went to Room 7. The atmosphere was a bit weird. All they could hear was miserable crying. A woman was so scared that her face turned pale and she hurried back.

They walked forward and saw a young woman lying on the ground covered in blood.

Her expression was distorted and her eyes were wide open, which looked horrible. It was obvious that she died in great pain.

Wu Jin frowned, "Look at her chest..."

Jiang Xue Ning looked over and saw a bloody hole in her chest.

"Heart gone?"

The wife of the wealthy businessman who lost her daughter cried bitterly, "Damn you, the heart-stealing thief, how could he do such a cruel thing."

The family involved in the accident was a wealthy businessman named Du. Although Mr. Du was sad, he remained rational.

"This horrible thing happened on the ship, the merchant must give me an explanation!"

Shang Xun said calmly, "We will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible."

This horrific incident made the whole night restless. The merchant's guards checked room by room, and naturally encountered a lot of resistance.

After all, those who can stay in the upper-class cabin are not ordinary people. They all have their own tempers, and some do not accept their inspection.

When they arrived at Jiang Xue Ning's place, she opened the door and let them in.

Several guards were checking the room, and Shang Xun asked her the routine question expressionlessly, "Did you hear any strange noises?"

"No, I was awakened by a terrible scream."

"Is there anyone you think is strange, or something that's wrong?"

She shook her head, and Shang Xun didn't ask any more questions. He glanced at the wolf at her feet.

The inspection was quickly completed and her room was found to be fine.

After a whole night of commotion, the murderer was not found. Instead, rumors spread everywhere, such as a monster eating people's hearts.

During the day, Wu Jin and Bai Yu looked around but didn't find anything suspicious.

Night fell again, and people on the ship were in panic. The guards also stepped up patrols, but nothing happened.

After two nights of peace and quiet, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and attributed the Du family's affairs to bad luck or revenge.

Jiang Xue Ning said softly, "Next is the time to be careful."

Jing Yu said nonchalantly, "Do you think it's not over yet?"

She looked at the calm sea and said, "Perhaps, this is just the beginning."

When everyone lets down their guard, delivering a critical hit is the real killer.

Jing Yu yawned, "I really don't understand the twists and turns in the minds of people like you who are full of tricks."

Jiang Xue Ning smiled faintly and went back to her room to catch up on some sleep.

Not far away, several people with great martial arts skills heard their conversation.

Ruan Xingtang asked, "Will it be like she said, this is just the beginning?"

Dugu Moran said calmly, "It seems that this King Xiang is very calculating and good at manipulating people's hearts."

"Oh, I want to see if her guess is right." Ruan Xingtang said with interest, "It would be interesting if she really guessed the murderer's intention."

After that, he instructed his maid Jian Zhu, "Be alert tonight."

On the third night, it rained.

Jiang Xue Ning opened the window and listened to the sound of rain falling on the sea on the boat. She felt extremely calm.

She wasn't the best in martial arts, so when something like this happened, several people took turns protecting her in the room.

Tonight it was Bing Tong, she was practicing illusions on the side. Her gestures were beautiful, Jiang Xue Ning looked at Ye Yu for a while and then at her.

It was late at night and she yawned tiredly.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

A cat's cry came, one more terrifying and shrill than the last, and Tianlang turned around in annoyance.

Bingtong opened her eyes, "In the east."

Jiang Xue Ning took a sip of tea to refresh herself, "Then I guess the person in trouble must not be in the east."

The two pushed the door open and saw a mess outside, mixed with crying and complaints.

Bai Yu said, "The guards went to the east."

The rain stopped outside, and the whole night sky felt wet. She walked out and stood lazily on the deck.

Ruan Xingtang couldn't help but look at her a few more times, "Your guess is really accurate."

Dugu Moran said coldly, "It seems that this trip is destined to be unpeaceful."

The accident happened this time in Room 21, which was completely opposite to the direction of the cat's scream.

The cat was skinned and its heart was dug out, and thrown in the east corner. The young woman in Room 21 also died from having her heart dug out.

"This is a heart-stealing thief." Bai Yu analyzed based on his experience as a martial artist, "Could it be that we have encountered some evil old demon who practices evil skills?"

"Who knows..."

She noticed that there was a red slap mark on Shang Xun's face. The person who dared to hit him in public seemed to be of an unusual identity.
