Armed to the teeth, Xue Jianbing grabbed a bottle from the side and smeared a bit of its contents onto his skin before casually handing it to Jing Youlan and the others.
"What's this?" someone asked, a puzzled expression on their face.
"Blue mercury lotion, for shark repellent—don't forget, we have to swim across the ocean." In the sea, while it's not guaranteed you'll encounter sharks, you had better be prepared for the worst; Xue Jianbing didn't seem too patient as he explained, advising: "Just apply it to any exposed skin."
He didn't want to be dragged down by anybody else.
Xue Jianbing only knew about this because he had seen it before and Xue Rui had told him; it was only when he saw it again that he knew what to do.
Xue Rui had already switched from the army to the navy and now was hardly ever at home throughout the year; of course, another reason was the peace and quiet.
The emperor is far away, and nobody can interfere.
