Chapter 8 Someone on This Ship Tried to Hurt My Precious Grandson!

The little boy missed his target, failing to snatch Xu Xiangsi’s apple. When he looked up, he spotted the larger, redder one in Long Peiye’s hand.

His eyes darted shrewdly, and without hesitation, he switched targets. His short legs carried him charging toward the apple in Long Peiye’s grasp!

Mine! That apple is mine!

Long Peiye frowned slightly, about to raise his hand to evade.

But quicker than words could describe, Xu Xiangsi behind him moved!

She delivered a swift, precise kick to the outer side of the little boy’s thigh.

She hadn’t used much force, but the boy was already off-balance. With that kick, he immediately cried out Aiyo! and stumbled sideways several steps before plopping down hard on his bottom.

Naturally, he failed to grab the apple.

Long Peiye’s eyes widened in shock, clearly not expecting Xu Xiangsi to act so decisively and directly.

This… this woman is too fierce!

At the slightest disagreement, she kicks people.

At the next disagreement, she pulls out a knife!

The old woman, who had been trading insults with the fashionable lady, caught sight of her precious grandson being kicked to the ground from the corner of her eye and instantly flew into a rage!

Aiyo! My precious grandson!

She let out a piercing shriek, forgetting her quarrel with the other woman, and turned to viciously charge at Xu Xiangsi!

You little slut! How dare you hit my grandson! I’ll fight you to the death today!

Her bony fingers spread wide, nails long and sharp, as if aiming to claw up Xu Xiangsi’s face!

Long Peiye’s eyes turned cold, ready to restrain the madwoman.

But Xu Xiangsi moved faster than he could!

With a flick of her wrist, she produced the gleaming fruit knife from earlier—no one saw where it came from.

A cold glint flashed as the sharp blade pointed directly at the charging old woman.

The woman’s withered fingers halted just inches from the knife tip.

Her murky eyes fixed first on the blade, then on Xu Xiangsi’s resolute, pretty face.

This little hussy meant business!

If she didn’t stop, she’d impale herself and end up with a bloody hole!

The old woman stumbled back a step in fear, then erupted into even shriller curses: You damned whore! How dare you point a knife at me!

Xu Xiangsi’s grip on the knife handle was steady as a rock, her gaze colder than the blade itself.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, you dare to commit robbery openly on this ship? Her voice wasn’t loud, but each word was clear and carried an icy edge. Where are the ship’s security? Are they all dead?

The old woman was momentarily cowed by her demeanor but soon resumed her hysterics, spraying saliva: Bah! Robbery? My grandson just wanted a bite of your apple! And you brutally hit him! Now you dare pull a knife! Have you no respect for the law?

Xu Xiangsi let out a scornful laugh, her eyes filled with mockery. If he craves an apple, why don’t you buy him one? Stealing from others and still making excuses!

Long Peiye stood beside Xu Xiangsi, inwardly marveling at her.

This wife of his… is truly wild!

At the first sign of disagreement, she kicks people.

At the next, she brandishes a knife!

The woman who had been arguing with the old woman earlier now snapped out of her daze and immediately found an ally.

She stood with hands on her hips, shrilly exclaiming: This child just charged into my room trying to snatch things! And the old hag joined in! If we don’t discipline this child now, what will become of him when he grows up? He’ll probably end up facing a firing squad!

A creature born of a mother but raised without one!

When the old woman heard someone daring to curse her precious grandson, how could she tolerate it!

Her wrinkled face instantly flushed crimson, and she completely disregarded the knife in Xu Xiangsi’s hand. Spinning around like a fighting cock, she lunged at the fashionable woman!

You foul-mouthed shrew with a rotten tongue! How dare you curse my grandson! I’ll tear your mouth apart today!

Seeing this, Xu Xiangsi shrugged triumphantly at Long Peiye.

She silently mouthed: See, it’s none of our business now.

Long Peiye looked at her somewhat helplessly. This girl really seemed to thrive on chaos.

However, just as Xu Xiangsi withdrew her gaze and was about to say something to Long Peiye, something unexpected happened!

The little boy who had been kicked to the ground had never taken his shifty eyes off Xu Xiangsi’s apple the entire time.

Now, taking advantage of everyone’s diverted attention, he moved again!

The small figure once more viciously lunged at Xu Xiangsi.

His target remained—the apple in her hand.

Hey, are you not done yet?

Xu Xiangsi instinctively cursed under her breath. With no time to retract the fruit knife, its tip pointed directly at the little boy’s chest.

!

In that split second, Long Peiye didn’t have time to think. He instantly grabbed Xu Xiangsi’s wrist and forcefully lifted it upward.

The knife tip narrowly brushed past the top of the little boy’s head!

With his other hand, Long Peiye seized the collar at the back of the boy’s neck and effortlessly lifted him up like a chick, then flung him aside!

With a thump, the boy landed hard on his bottom again. This time he was completely dazed, sitting on the ground with his mouth agape, forgetting to cry.

Xu Xiangsi was also momentarily stunned by Long Peiye’s sudden action.

She blinked, looking at her wrist, then at the little brat on the ground.

Finally realizing what happened, she raised an eyebrow at Long Peiye: Hey, you’re pretty quick to react.

Long Peiye only felt cold sweat beading on his forehead, his heart still pounding wildly.

Releasing Xu Xiangsi’s wrist, his voice still tense, he said: If I hadn’t reacted in time, you would have stabbed him right in the heart just now!

Xu Xiangsi awkwardly withdrew her hand, meekly saying: I just… didn’t react in time.

Just then, the little boy who had been thrown aside by Long Peiye finally snapped out of his daze.

With an earth-shattering Waaah!, he began crying loudly!

Hearing her precious grandson’s cries, his grandmother immediately stopped her scuffle. She turned around sharply and saw her grandson sitting on the ground, crying with snot and tears covering his face.

Then she looked at Xu Xiangsi and Long Peiye, particularly at the fruit knife Xu Xiangsi hadn’t yet put away.

The old woman felt a surge of rage instantly shoot to her head!

Slapping her thigh, she directly lay down on the ground, wailing: Murder! Heaven-cursed murderers! There’s no justice! Someone on this ship is trying to kill my good grandson!
