The Truth Revealed; Awkward and Embarrassed; Jade Beauty Enraged; Defeated by Li Xian Again!

Zhao Ranran felt awkward and embarrassed. Although she meant well, she couldn't help but feel shy and embarrassed as she spoke. If it weren't for her, she would never have wanted to be involved in the slightest. She said, "You can speak your mind freely."

Nangong Wuwang asked incredulously, "Miss Zhao, you—you mean, you want me to marry Brother Bian?" Zhao Zaizai and said, "We are in love, so we should rely on each other."

Bian Bianyun wiped away his cold sweat and said, "Miss Zhao, you've been missing for so long, and now you're back saying such things. It's truly—truly baffling. There must be some misunderstanding—"

Zhao Zaizai, believing himself to be reasonable, advised, "It's understandable that you find it difficult to speak. But you need to make a decision quickly to avoid the torment of worry. You've been living like this for three years now. Now that I'm back, I'll try to help you improve things. It will also be a way of making amends for our mistakes."

She was young and inexperienced in love, and had been proud and aloof since childhood, making her difficult to understand. Yet, she was now giving unsolicited advice and randomly recommending male matchmakers. Although she lacked confidence in her words, she was used to looking down on people from a high position, and her words were quite decisive.

Seeing that they were involved, and noticing Zhao Zaizai's resolute expression, Nangong Wuwang and Bian Bianyun both thought, "Could it be that some busybody spread rumors that Zhao Zaizai? These baseless rumors are utterly baseless; they're just those scoundrels spreading nonsense. If this matter isn't clarified on the spot, the rumors will only intensify, and how can we face anyone then?" The two recalled that they had only exchanged names and had very little connection, so how could there be any romantic relationship between them?

Nangong Xuanming and Bian Chengfeng exchanged glances, their eyes meeting, both knowing there was a misunderstanding.

The group exchanged glances and said in unison, "Miss Zhao, please come with us back to the hall to discuss this further."

Zhao Zaizai nodded and said, "Alright!" The group went into the cabin and saw dozens of heroes drinking and chatting, which was quite lively.

Nangong Xuanming led the way upstairs to a private room, where they sat down to discuss the matter. Nangong Wuwang said, "Miss Zhao, where did you hear this rumor?"

Zhao Zaizai was taken aback and asked, "A rumor?" He was suspicious.

Nangong Xuanming said, "My Riding the Wind is completely innocent."

Nangong Wuwang immediately replied, "Brother Bian Yun and I have absolutely no such relationship."

Zhao Ran let out another soft "Ah!" and sensed something was wrong. A series of strange thoughts flooded her mind, and she asked, "How long have I been missing?"

Taishu Yuzhu said, "It has been more than a month." Zhao Zairan asked, "Only a little over a month?"

Nangong Xuanming said in surprise, "It's only mid-April now, just over a month ago. Miss Zhao doesn't even know that? Even though the lake is shrouded in mist, one can still vaguely discern the rising and setting of the sun and moon, right?"

Zhao Zaizai's mind raced, and he asked, "What is the current state of affairs in the world?" Bian Chengfeng replied strangely, "The world Winds Rise, Clouds Surge."

While the Great Wu were not in complete chaos, and there were undercurrents of unrest, not much had changed overtly.

Zhao Zaizai his fist on the table, a surge of anger rising within him. Knowing he had most likely been deceived, he asked again, "So, you weren't punished with a lifetime ban from landing because of my disappearance?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what Zhao Zaizai to. One replied earnestly, "Of course not. You've been missing for over a month, but the Pure Jade Divine Bird senses something the Unseen you and knows you're unharmed. We are still searching diligently. The Lineage is unaware of this, and even sending a message back and forth will take time."

Zhao Zaizai thought angrily, "Nangong Xuanming and Nangong Wuwang wouldn't lie to me. If what they said is true, then that so-called ' Ghost Doctor' is just spouting nonsense, deliberately trying to deceive me." Thinking this, her palms and soles burned, her cheeks flushed, and she was so embarrassed she didn't know what to do. "That—that kind of thing, of course, is all false. I was prejudiced from the start, mistakenly believing that so-called 'ghost Ghost Doctor,' who immediately started randomly matchmaking and spouting outrageous nonsense. Zhao Zaizai, Zhao Zaizai —you thought you were doing a good deed, helping others find happiness, but you were incredibly foolish, and you've made a fool of yourself. The Jade Maiden's reputation is ruined by you. I wonder what they think of me—"

She gritted her teeth, pressed her lips tightly together, clenched her fists beneath her sleeves, and curled her toes. Utterly embarrassed, she feigned nonchalance and said, "Tell me everything, one by one."

Bian Bianyun said, "That day, we captured all the Flower Thief on the island and settled the prisoners. Miss Zhao and Brother Xuanming went into the lake to capture the Flower Thief. We waited for several days, but you and Brother Xuanming did not return. We were hesitant and did not know what to do. We were caught in a dilemma."

"After waiting another half day, I discussed the matter with Brother Riding the Wind, Brother Yuzhu, Brother Lanfeng, and others. We were all concerned for the safety of the two, so we sent Brother Yuzhu and Brother Riding the Wind into the lake to search for your whereabouts. The two of them entered the lake by boat. They both have some knowledge of the Five Elements and Feng Shui, and we thought they would be of use. However, after going out of the lake for several miles, a thick fog spread out. Without the guidance of the Pure Jade Divine Bird, it would be impossible to move an inch. That group of cunning Flower Thief, with their shallow strength and low ability, have managed to survive here for so long. They certainly have some tricks up their sleeves. This predicament is no child's play."

"In desperation, Brother Yuzhu and Brother Riding the Wind, taking advantage of the fact that the lake wasn't too deep and there was still time to turn back, hurried back to the Water Altar. At this point, we were at a loss and extremely anxious. Brother Lanfeng joked, 'Could it be that the old Flower Thief has been captured, and we've taken over his place, becoming the new Flower Thief?' Although we all laughed, we couldn't help but think: Now that Miss Zhao is missing, if we rashly venture out of the lake, it's extremely dangerous, a death sentence. This was said in jest, but it's quite possible."

"Fortunately, on the fifteenth day, we suddenly heard a loud bird cry. We looked up and saw the Pure Jade Divine Bird, and were overjoyed. We immediately followed the Pure Jade Divine Bird into the depths of the lake to search for Nangong Xuanming and Miss Zhao. But we only found Brother Xuanming, who was trapped on a deserted island and looked like a wild man."

Nangong Xuanming coughed twice and said, "I originally traveled by boat, but the boat was destroyed, and the island is shrouded in thick fog with frequent turbulent currents and whirlpools. I had no choice but to stay on the island and wait for rescue."

Bian Bianyun continued, "When we couldn't find Miss Zhao, we first used the Divine Bird's power to break free from our predicament and leave the Water Altar. Then we summoned heroes from the martial world for help. Everyone was worried that you might have met with misfortune. But the Pure Jade Divine Bird sensed something between you and the Unseen and knew that your life was not in danger. Therefore, it never gave up and searched relentlessly. Fortunately, heaven rewards those who persevere. Today, the Pure Jade Divine Bird suddenly flew in a certain direction. We immediately followed in our boat, and then we saw you coming by boat."

Zhao Zairan understood the details, she felt a mix of shame, anger, and embarrassment, but also a sense of relief, and said, "I see."

Taishu Yuzhu said, "Junior sister, you mentioned family reunions and marriage alliances before, but what was that all about?"

Zhao Ranran said, "There's a strange story behind this. I went into the lake to catch the Flower Seeking thief, and suddenly stumbled into a peculiar lake area. I saw the Ever-Sleeping Mother Tree and almost fell into eternal sleep in the lake. Fortunately, I met the Ghost Doctor."

Su Lan Feng asked, "Is it the Ghost-Faced Bodhisattva, ranked ninth on the Divine Healer Ranking?" Nangong Wuwang replied, "The Ghost Doctor Lineage is a unique lineage, all producing divine physicians. They have physicians ranked second, sixth, ninth, and thirteenth on the Divine Healer Ranking. Their medical techniques are unique, like ghosts and Gods and Devils, extremely difficult to fathom. Some suffer from incurable diseases for decades, only needing to speak a few words to the Ghost Doctor for a miraculous cure. Their methods are incredibly effective, and this lineage has distinct characteristics; only those with ugly faces can learn it. Furthermore, they always demand payment for their medical services and never offer treatment voluntarily; their temperament is eccentric. Yet, they can be called benevolent physicians."

Zhao Ying continued, "That's right. It was indeed the Ghost-Faced Bodhisattva Su Fuyou. Before I went to sleep, I sought medical help. That senior, mindful of my Jade Maiden body, gave me a Cold-Sealing Cocoon, allowing me to sleep peacefully. I crawled into the Cold-Sealing Cocoon, and unable to resist the drowsiness any longer, I closed my eyes and fell asleep."

Nangong Xuanming asked, "What does this have to do with rumors?"

Zhao Zaizai thought of the hateful person and gritted her teeth, saying, "Of course it's related." Her composure was gone, her tone laced with resentment as she continued, "When I awoke, I didn't see Senior Su Fuyou. Instead, I saw a young man wearing a mask made of fragrant herbs. I had been asleep for over a month, and upon waking, I had no idea of the year or the world."

He called himself the Ghost Doctor, claiming that the Ghost Doctor had already passed on his medical skills to him.

"I have been asleep for a long time, and I don't know how many years have passed, so I went to ask him. He lied to me and said that I had been asleep for three years. In these three years, the world has changed dramatically. He talked at length about the affairs of the martial arts world and the Winds Rise, Clouds Surge in the imperial court. What he said seemed to make some sense at first glance. But now that I think about it, it was all nonsense."

Everyone looked over. The pure and innocent Jade Maiden rarely lost her composure, yet now she uttered vulgarities. Zhao Zaizai was taken aback, her face slightly flushed, and said, "I'm sorry, I'll calm myself down."

He continued, "It was this very person who fabricated rumors, saying that you were punished by your Lineage because of me and had been stationed in the lake for three years. Moreover, a sudden upheaval caused you to lose your temper, and you developed a mutual respect and took things further. Now that I have regained my senses, I have tried to make amends. Although I have never experienced love, I have heard from my elders that lovers should be united. So I have tried to make it happen."

Bian Qiaoqiao angrily said, "Sister Zai Zai, this matter is not your fault. How could that new Ghost Doctor be so strange, making fun of us for no reason? And—and even fabricating rumors about women like this."

Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Nangong Xuanming breathed a sigh of relief. However, considering his status as the "Ghost Doctor," he dared not scold him. Instead, he said, "It is said that Ghost Doctor are known for their eccentricities. I suppose this Ghost Doctor is also such a person."

Bian Bianyun said, "Perhaps—this is the reward for the treatment?" Zhao Zaizai said, "Hmph! If I meet him again, I will definitely ask him why. Yes—please take me to Fool's Town and Pig Alley in the southwest quickly!"

She stomped her foot in anger, her beautiful eyes flashing with malice. Suddenly, she realized that "Fool's Town" and "Pig Alley" were insults directed at her, calling her stupid as a pig, a fool, and someone who had been mocked without her realizing it.

Su Lan Feng asked, "Junior sister, what's wrong? What 'Fool's Town' and 'Stupid Pig Alley'—do such place names really exist in this world?"

Zhao Zaizai gritted his teeth and said, "After Little Pure found me, she started trembling uncontrollably for no reason. I asked that Ghost Doctor for help, but he said he was powerless and told me to go to Fool's Town and Pig Alley to find a doctor. Now that I think about it, he must have been playing me for a fool again!" He stomped his foot angrily and said, "How can there be such a despicable person in the world?"

What an utterly detestable and annoying person! They don't even dare to insult you to your face; how shameful and despicable!

Bian Qiaoqiao exclaimed, "That Ghost Doctor is despicable! Sister Zaiying, let's go find him and settle the score!"

Zhao Ran continued, "The most urgent matter is Little Pure." Su Lan Feng said, "Strange, the Pure Jade Divine Bird has been soaring through the heavens these past few days, searching for clues about you. Yet, I haven't seen it trembling incessantly."

Zhao Ran then realized something was amiss. "Little Pure also said that it doesn't have any strange illness. It's just fear. But how could the dignified Pure Jade Divine Bird, favored by Heaven, be afraid for no reason?"

As her mind gradually cleared, she became even more focused on the key points. The Pure Jade Divine Bird Jingyao cried out twice. Zhao Zaizai asked in a low voice, "Little Pure, are you saying you're afraid of gazes? There's a gaze—that makes you tremble incessantly?"

Nangong Xuanming said, "Could it be a bird startled by the mere twang of a bow?"

Taishu Yuzhu asked, "A bird startled by the twang of a bow? The Pure Jade Divine Bird soars through the nine heavens, untouched by the mortal world, unshooted by ordinary bows, and unseen by ordinary eyes. Who has the ability to shoot the Pure Jade Divine Bird, and how could they become a bird startled by the twang of a bow?"

Nangong Xuanming said, "The incredible part lies in this. When we entered the lake long ago, the Pure Jade Divine Bird was shot down."

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "What?!" When they saw the Divine Bird again, its injuries had already healed, so they were unaware of this secret.

Zhao Zaiying gently stroked the bird's down, a sharp glint in her beautiful eyes, as everything became clearer. "When I first awoke, my mind was hazy, and I hadn't had time to think things through before this boy's clever words stirred my emotions, preventing me from contemplating for even a moment. Therefore, many strange things, clearly right before my eyes, went unnoticed. Now, upon careful reflection, I realize there are actually many flaws."

"I was saved by Senior Su Fuyou. I was so sleepy at the time that I had already done everything I could to seek medical help. I didn't have time to say another word before I fell into a coma."

Although Senior Su Fuyou was willing to save me, she didn't know why I had entered the lake. However, the young Ghost Doctor said that I had entered the lake while Flower Seeking thief.

Her expression was cold and chilling. She pondered further, "If it weren't for that cunning Flower Thief, who else would know about this? He wore a mask, deliberately concealing his figure, his mind full of malice. He feared I would recognize him and kill him on the spot. He deliberately fabricated rumors because he harbored resentment towards us. Little Pure was once shot down by him, hence her fear of his gaze."

She understood everything and said, "I know who that Ghost Doctor is!"

Everyone asked in unison. Zhao Ranran said coldly, "That young Ghost Doctor is none other than the Flower Thief Li Xian!"

Bian Chengfeng said, "Could it be—could it be that the Flower Thief actually obtained the Ghost Doctor's inheritance?" Su Lan Feng said, "If the Flower Thief awakened our junior sister, did he do anything to her—"

Zhao Ranran sneered, "How could this Flower Thief be worthy of me? How could Senior Su Fuyou possibly look up to him? And I was certainly not saved by him."

Zhao Zaizai said, "Senior Su Fuyou must have other business to attend to and need to go out. This thief, by sheer coincidence, usurped the position and impersonated the Ghost Doctor. At that time, I was deeply asleep in my cocoon. He didn't know I was in the cocoon. When he saw me suddenly awaken and arrive so abruptly, he used deceitful words to get rid of me."

Zhao Zaizai's anger only intensified. She said, "I was out of my mind and let him get away with it. Humph, he can fool me for a while, but he can't fool me forever."

"Hurry and steer the boat! We must not let this thief escape!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately gave the order, the boat turned, and they chased after it into the lake. Zhao Zaizai stood on a high point on the official boat, gazing into the distance. The lake was vast, with layers of blue waves.

The Boat Guild for several miles without seeing Mayfly Abode. Instead, it spotted the graceful "Jade Maiden Peak." Zhao Ranran pointed and asked, "Does this peak have a name?"

Nangong Xuanming didn't know the details, but the boat was filled with heroes and warriors from all corners of the land, a diverse group including many fishermen. He sought out local heroes to inquire. A bearded man laughed, "This is Torn Trousers Peak. Look at the two holes in the east peak, don't they resemble torn trousers? Hahaha, if anyone wore them, wouldn't their buttocks feel chilly?"

Zhao Zaizai became even angrier upon hearing this, and the more he looked at it, the more it resembled tattered trousers. His anger simmered, and he wished he could flatten the peak. This was the first time in his life that he had felt such resentment towards someone, yet he couldn't quite grasp it. The boat traveled several more miles, and the lake stretched out before them. The sky gradually darkened, and they could no longer see far into the distance.

Although this place is not deep within Dongran Lake, it should not be underestimated. Nangong Xuanming suggested resting for the night and searching again at dawn. Zhao Zaizai, having been repeatedly teased, had lost his composure and was unwilling to waste the night.

Then they saw several fishing boats drifting on the lake. So they bought all the fishing boats and had the wandering swordsmen scatter to search for them. Whoever found the Mayfly Abode was to set off red smoke as a signal.

Zhao Ran gently stroked the Pure Jade Divine Bird again, murmuring, "This child frightened you, I will never let him go. When I find him, I will tear him to pieces to avenge you and me." Her beautiful eyes Sha Qi with murderous intent.

In the dead of night, the lake was cold and dark when suddenly red smoke was seen rising from the southeast. Zhao Zaizai immediately steered his boat in pursuit and, upon seeing the person setting off the smoke, asked, "You're setting off red smoke; do you see that wooden house?"

The man smoking pointed to a spot and said, "It's in the bushes."

The Dongran Lake overflowing with trees, and one could often encounter forests on the lake. The forests were dangerous at night, with poisonous snakes and wild beasts roaming about. Those who lit incense dared not venture in, but Zhao Zairan was not afraid. She immediately steered her boat into the forest and indeed found traces of Mayfly Abode.

She immediately drew her sword, and with a light leap, jumped back into the Mayfly Abode. She saw the food and meat on the table were still there, but the person had vanished. After a fruitless search, she found nothing again. She frowned, Intestine-Turning Narrow Passage, "Again and again, a mere Flower Thief, how can he be so hard to catch? I refuse to believe that you, a Flower Thief, can truly escape my grasp!"

That night, she gently stroked the bird's down, gazing at the lake as she pondered her plan. The Pure Jade Divine Bird, sensing Zhao Zaizai intent, suddenly mustered its courage, flapped its wings, and flew away, calling out several times.

Zhao Zaizai said, "No, that Flower Thief has some unknown method that allowed him to shoot you down. It's too dangerous for you to fly and search for him!"

The Pure Jade Divine Bird cried out twice, then flapped its wings and flew into the clouds. No matter how Zhao Ranran called out to it, it would not listen. Zhao Zaizai was extremely anxious and immediately sent a boat to chase after it.

As dawn broke, the Pure Jade Divine Bird suddenly flew back. Zhao Ranran was both happy and angry, scolding it a few times. The Pure Jade Divine Bird nuzzled her head affectionately and called softly towards the southeast.

Zhao Zaizai exclaimed happily, "You've already discovered the thief's whereabouts?" The Pure Jade Divine Bird nodded in agreement, circling around Zhao Zaizai to beg for a reward. Zhao Zaizai played with it for a while, then his expression turned cold. He summoned Nangong Xuanming, Nangong Wuwang, and others, informing them of Li Xian's whereabouts and issuing orders for them to pursue him overnight. Along the way, they bought boats whenever they encountered them, braving waves as they went. Their momentum was unstoppable.

Knowing the direction, Zhao Zaizai was no longer afraid of not being able to find it. After spending most of the day, she happened to encounter a fishing boat. Zhao Zaizai asked in a low voice, and the fisherman on the boat turned out to be someone who had met Li Xian before. The two chatted for a while.

Zhao Zaizai sneered, "You're about to die and you don't even realize it, yet you still have the leisure to chat. Hmph, do you really think I, Zhao Zaizai, am so easily dismissed?"

The boats chased for another half an hour, and the sky darkened again. Nangong Xuanming, Nangong Wuwang, Bian Chengfeng, Bian Bianyun, Su Lan Feng, Taishu Yuzhu, and others each led several fishing boats, scattering in all directions to search. The boats carried many Jianghu (martial arts world) figures, splashing the lake water as if they were forming an inescapable net and digging three feet into the ground.

Although there were no clues that night, the investigation was drawing ever closer.

The next day, as the warm sun rose, Zhao Zaizai suddenly caught sight of a tiny Little Black dot on the distant lake. A sense of unease washed over her, and her heart skipped a beat. She thought, "We've been chasing them for two days straight, day and night. We should be catching up eventually. This dot is still far away, and it doesn't look like a fishing boat. Could it be the thief? I need to confirm this first, and then be more aware, so I can prevent him from playing any more tricks." She lightly touched the hull of her boat, her figure rising gracefully, and used her pupil technique, "Borrowed Eyes."

This martial art can be used by borrowing the eyes of others. Her eyesight is limited, making it difficult to see the entire black dot clearly, Pure Jade Divine Bird has very sharp eyesight. By borrowing the eyes of the "Pure Jade Divine Bird," one can see extremely far! Zhao Zaizai saw the entire black dot clearly and confirmed that it was indeed Li Xian!

As the first rays of dawn appeared, the Black Boat drifted alone. Li Xian lay on his side on the boat, a blade of grass between his teeth, one hand reaching into the lake. Every now and then, he would forcefully push the boat forward several feet.

Enemies meeting are bound to be furious. Zhao Zaizai gritted his teeth in hatred, but valuing his reputation highly, he calmly said, "Chase after them!"

An official boat and a dozen fishing boats gave chase in an instant. They cut through the waves with the momentum of a dragon. When they were only a dozen or so miles away, Li Xian heard the commotion and looked over from afar. Seeing the pursuers suddenly appear, he suddenly stood up and used the River-Sinking Sword to escape by paddling through the water.

Although they were far apart, the lake was as smooth as a mirror and as vast as a plain. While there were occasional crops in the lake, they did not obstruct the view, and both sides could see each other. Zhao Zaizai shouted, "You Flower Thief, you have committed countless evils, why don't you quickly meet your death?"

Her voice was melodious and carried far. All who heard it were captivated, never tiring of its beauty. After a short while, a voice echoed from afar, "How could you have found me, hiding so far away?"

Zhao Zaizai said, "You Flower Thief, you were born to be punished. Your petty theft and trickery are hardly worthy of respect. Capturing you is a piece of cake for me."

Li Xian replied, "Heroine, spare my life! Heroine, spare my life! Don't chase me anymore! I'll bind my own hands and feet and surrender."

Nangong Xuanming said in a booming voice, "Now that you're cornered and want to spare my life, it's too late! I see you, you Flower Thief, have no remorse whatsoever. You might as well just accept your death."

Li Xian shouted, "Don't push your luck! Are you trying to drive us to our deaths? I advise you, even a rabbit will bite when cornered!"

Zhao Zaizai Li Xian's exasperated outburst and surrender, and observing the situation—a dozen ships of heroes ganging up on a single Flower Thief —it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. She thought, "Even if you had wings, you couldn't escape this predicament. It's understandable that you're terrified." She said, "How utterly ridiculous! I gave you a chance to explain, but you didn't cherish it. What's there to say now? Go after him!"

Li Xian pleaded in a deep voice, "I'm begging you, please don't chase after us anymore, okay?"

The martial arts figures laughed, saying, "How laughable, Flower Thief! Even on the verge of death, you still cling to a sliver of hope." "Such begging for mercy is truly a first." "If you ask me, you'd better bind your hands and feet, shave your head, and accept your fate. Your fellow Flower Thief, though reduced to slavery, are safe. You've tormented yourself for so long, only to perish in the end. What's the point?"

Li Xian said in a strong voice, "I am not begging for mercy, but advising you. Fine, since you insist on pursuing me, whether you live or die is none of my business." Li Xian then struggled to steer the boat away.

Nangong Xuanming scoffed, "A mere Flower Thief dares to spout such nonsense."

Zhao Zaizai had crossed paths with Li Xian several times, but suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and dared not be careless. However, after looking around, he saw that the sky was clear, the wind was warm, and the sun was shining brightly. There were no natural dangers or human calamities, so he said, "This is alarmist talk. He can't escape now. We must hurry and pursue him."

After chasing for several more miles, the Boat Guild gradually slowed down. Zhao Zaizai and asked, "What's going on?" Suddenly, the boat shook violently and tilted sharply in one direction.

In an instant, screams of terror and agony filled the air. Fishing boats and official vessels were all destroyed in a flash, and the fellow travelers screamed in agony, while the lake surface swelled with blood-red sewage.

Countless water droplets splashed.

It was a strange fish from the lake that devoured the boat. Those who had been traveling the world suddenly found themselves in this predicament, unable to protect themselves. Former allies had become a burden.

Nangong Xuanming, Nangong Wuwang, and others came from distinguished backgrounds, but they had never encountered such a situation before. In an instant, several people had died or been injured, leaving them bewildered and helpless.

Zhao Ran clenched her fist again, thrusting the Heaven's Favor Sword twice wildly, splashing water everywhere and scattering fish carcasses. Gritting her teeth, she said unwillingly, "Saving lives is the priority!"
