Shanaela's tone carried a greater hint of laughter, "I hadn't noticed, you're quite tender-hearted."
Wu Heng changed his tone and said, "I'll have Philippa come to pick you up."
"No need, it'll take too long. If I wait for her, I'll have to stay for several more days," Shanaela gently declined.
Wu Heng pulled out the Emerald Sand Table for a glance.
On the various routes across the Emerald Sea, there wasn't a suspicious ship in sight.
The likelihood of encountering pirates was slim.
However, lately, the Dragon Trafficking Team, Blood Clan Fleet, and Evil Cult incidents had all occurred in the Emerald Sea.
They were all unstable factors.
Who knew which force's backup would come looking for people and take the opportunity to play pirates.
After some thought, he said, "Alright then, I'll have Philippa intercept you halfway. She can escort you, or you can switch ships to come back."
This time Shanaela didn't refuse, "Seeing your sincerity, I agree."
