Chapter 1537: Chapter 1554: Nangong and Xiaonuan Surrounded by Sharks (2)

Xia Xiaonuan felt dizzy and disoriented, her gaze shifting to Nangong Yaoling. But she found his eyes fixed on the distance, his face darker than ever.

At this moment, two bodyguards swam over, supporting Nangong Yaoling: "Young Master..."

Nangong Yaoling pushed Xiaonuan into the arms of one of the bodyguards, saying seriously, "Get her on the boat quickly!"

Xia Xiaonuan was stunned, not having time to react, as she was already being supported by a bodyguard. She looked out in confusion, suddenly feeling her scalp tingle and cold sweat dripping down her back.

Not far away, two massive great white sharks, over five meters long, were terrifyingly closing in on their direction.

The air was thick with the intense scent of blood; clearly, the sharks had been drawn by its odor.

The bodyguards were all stunned with fear.

"Oh no, sharks!" shouted one of them in panic. Even the best-trained soldiers couldn’t remain calm in a situation like this.

However, Nangong Yaoling just turned, pressed Xia Xiaonuan’s head, and kissed her forehead gently.

In a calm and cold tone, he ordered, "Take her away, quickly!"

"But Young Master, you..." The bodyguard’s voice already trembled.

"Go! If anything happens to her, you’ll all pay with your lives!"

"Yes...!"

Nangong Yaoling gritted his teeth as he finished speaking, turned, and swam rapidly in another direction.

Xia Xiaonuan widened her eyes in terror, watching the two sharks swim after Nangong Yaoling’s direction.

Tears flooded her eyes and she screamed, "No... don’t!"

Yet Nangong Yaoling seemed not to hear, only frantically swimming to one side, trying to lure the sharks away with his own body.

Xiaonuan was forcibly pulled towards the yacht by the bodyguards.

She struggled, she screamed, she shouted, she cried... but all she could do was watch Nangong Yaoling’s figure drift farther away, her whole body shaking as immense terror attacked every nerve.

Like a madwoman, she clawed and fought against the bodyguard beside her, pinching... grabbing... hitting...

But no order from Prince Nangong could be disobeyed.

Helplessly, Xiaonuan was brought to the side of the speedboat, and by those on board was lifted onto the shore.

Her body weakened to the point she collapsed on the deck, her vision darkening, and she fainted.

Nangong Yaoling swam in the ocean, gradually surrounded by four or five large sharks. Already injured and having lost too much blood, he was now finding it difficult to exert himself.

He pulled out a knife from his body, his deep eyes exploding with fierce determination, ready to fight the sharks to the death.

Just then, suddenly, loud shouting erupted not far away.

Immediately, one of the sharks approaching him turned away, heading in another direction; promptly, another two sharks followed suit.

Soon after, the remaining two also turned quickly.

Nangong Yaoling clutched his left shoulder, his gaze puzzled as he looked into the distance.

Next, he was stunned with horror.

He saw not far away, several of his brothers huddled together, their bodies slashed with knives, bleeding profusely, blood blossoming in the sea like immense roses...

The sharks, seeing a richer feast, naturally abandoned Nangong Yaoling, a seemingly less rewarding bone to gnaw, turning to seize the much more enticing banquet.

In an instant, the air was filled with piercing screams; a trace of anguish crossed Nangong Yaoling’s face, and he closed his eyes.

Several subordinates were being shredded by the sharks, their blood painting the sea a vivid red, like blooming roses.
