Mumbling: Have you noticed, since the South Sea Tomb, Shirley Yang hasn't been herself. She no longer possesses the same adventurous spirit as before and seems to be filled with apprehension. So why has Shirley been acting strange throughout this expedition to the ruins? 01 Hu Can't Be Persuaded

In fact, when Professor Chen invited Hu Ba Yi for dinner, Shirley wanted to speak up but hesitated. She knew Professor Chen's intentions. However, the location where the Qin Emperor's Ancient Mirror was lost is in the perilous coral spiral region of the South Sea Tomb.

Deep down, Shirley hoped that Hu would refuse this mission. But when she heard about the coral spiral, Hu's interest was piqued, and he initially intended to decline but eventually changed his mind. Hu had his own motives since he planned to retire and go to the United States with Shirley. Although Shirley's family in the US had some wealth, Hu also mentioned that they couldn't rely solely on her grandfather's inheritance. They needed to bring something of value, and finding the Qin Emperor's Ancient Mirror was an opportunity to acquire wealth.

How could Shirley's thoughts go unnoticed? But Hu's pride prevented him from backing down. The more he acted that way, the more Shirley worried. That's why they took so long to choose a ship and ended up selecting the formidable Trident vessel. 02 Shirley's Emotional Concerns

Shirley had concerns about collaborating with Hu, but it was different this time. After experiencing so much together, their relationship had become stable, to the point of considering marriage. Shirley couldn't afford to be reckless anymore.

Hu understood Shirley's worries, and Shirley was well aware of Hu's "obsession." So, after obtaining several pearls and mermaid pearls, Shirley suggested going back. After all, it was clear that Hu's motivation for going to the coral spiral was solely for money. With the treasures they found, they would have no problem exchanging them for money. Once Hu had money, he could peacefully accompany Shirley to the United States, and the danger would be eliminated. Ultimately, Shirley developed genuine feelings for Hu and didn't want him to continue risking his life.

Despite that, Hu continued to make jokes, even mentioning that Yang, the staff officer, was more concerned about the Qin Emperor's Ancient Mirror. This remark infuriated Shirley, and she stormed off, displaying both her love and anger. 03 The Real Danger

The dangers of the coral spiral were not to be taken lightly. On their first venture into the sea, they encountered a ghost ship that relentlessly pursued their Trident vessel as if it had a tracking system. If Hu and Shirley hadn't jumped onto the ghost ship and severed the entangling fishing net, the Trident vessel would have been dragged into the depths of the sea, shattering to pieces.

On the ghost ship, Hu Ba Yi came into contact with blood seeping out. If it was a plague ship, he would have been doomed. Moreover, when they used the submarine to dive, Hu was attacked by an underwater monster, causing the submarine to start leaking water. It was nearly the end for them, but thanks to Gu Cai's quick thinking, she jumped into the sea and rescued Hu, saving his life.

Can you blame Shirley for being afraid? And due to Hu's compassion, they not only had to deal with sea monsters but also with two unpredictable individuals from Hong Kong. This is why Shirley, in this episode, isn't as beautiful and confident as before. She carries a heavy heart and is filled with indecision. Hu remains stubborn, despite Shirley's repeated pleas to go back, avoid the risks, and forget about the Qin Emperor's Ancient Mirror.

As they prepare to enter the ruins, let's hope Hu wakes up soon and doesn't waste Yang's efforts!
