No one can afford to lose; losing means death.

The sharks below are just patiently waiting for them.

"Ruan Tianling..." Jian Yufei tightened her grip on the binoculars, wishing she had wings to fly over and help him.

Why won’t that shark leave? Why!

Jian Yufei was incredibly anxious, terrified that something might happen to Ruan Tianling.

How can she distract the shark?

A sudden idea flickered through Jian Yufei’s mind.

She searched around the shore and finally spotted a fragment of a broken shell.

Jian Yufei picked up the shell, ran into the sea, and fiercely slashed her arm with it.

Bright red blood dripped continuously from her pale wrist into the sea, spreading out.

Afraid that the blood wasn’t enough, Jian Yufei made another cut.

She held the binoculars in one hand, observing the shark’s movements.

Perhaps the blood had attracted the shark as its fin turned in her direction.

"Come here, come here!" Jian Yufei murmured to herself.

The shark’s fin disappeared from the sea surface, its whereabouts unknown.

Nonetheless, Jian Yufei was on the verge of panic, feeling the shark was swimming towards her.

"Miss Jiang, it’s dangerous!"

A bodyguard rushed over, gripping her tightly and pulling her back!

Meanwhile, a massive creature suddenly burst out of the water, splashing countless droplets.

Jian Yufei and the bodyguard fell onto the sandy beach, hit by the oncoming sea water.

Many sharks can venture into shallow coastal waters.

They’re capable of navigating waist-deep areas.

The spot Jian Yufei was standing at just moments ago was waist-deep.

Luckily, the bodyguard acted quickly; otherwise, a half-second delay might have made Jian Yufei the shark’s meal.

Just now, the shark came dangerously close to devouring them.

Jian Yufei had a shockingly close view of the shark’s gaping maw.

Her face turned pale with fright, her body paralyzed.

Other bodyguards rushed over, quickly leading them to safety.

"Miss Jiang, sharks can swim several kilometers per minute, tens of meters per second. I hope you’re aware of these facts and won’t take risks again!" a bodyguard said coldly beside her.

Jian Yufei sat on the sand, gradually recovering her senses.

She truly was unaware of these facts; no wonder the shark appeared in less than a minute.

But she didn’t regret it, as long as the shark stayed away from Ruan Tianling.

Taking a deep breath, Jian Yufei turned her head to the bodyguard who had just rescued her: "Thank you."

The bodyguard smiled: "You’re welcome."

Actually, he was returning a favor.

If it hadn’t been for her plea that day, he’d be dead by now.

But it was clear that Jian Yufei had forgotten who he was.

Since the bloody scent hadn’t fully dissipated, the shark was still nearby, not leaving immediately.

Jian Yufei hoped it would stay a bit longer and not go back.

But Ruan Tianling and the others were fighting, sure to bleed.

As long as there’s blood, the shark will definitely return.

Just as she thought this, she felt the shark had returned.

She quickly raised the binoculars—

The sea was calm, with no sign of a shark.

But she knew it lurked beneath the water, ready to strike.

And in the distance, Ruan Tianling and Nangong Xu continued their fight, neither gaining the upper hand yet, but clearly struggling.

Continuing the fight, they might both end up in the sea.

Yet neither would admit defeat; even if it meant death, they wouldn’t give in.

"Is there any way to make them stop fighting?"
