Chapter 800: Chapter 235: Thank You, Young Master, for Saving Me! (Double Update)
Si Mo was lost in Mu Qingge’s passionate kiss, fantasizing about the intoxicating entanglement to follow.
However, just at the moment when his guard was most relaxed, a surge of electricity suddenly pierced into his body, shattering all his delight, and his consciousness slipped into slumber.
The man beneath her was knocked out by the electric shock, only then did Mu Qingge leave those swollen and kissed lips.
Looking at the man’s peaceful sleeping face, with a trace of unwillingness lingering on his handsome features, she couldn’t help but let a joyful smile curl at the corner of her mouth.
Giving his lips a gentle peck, Mu Qingge climbed off Si Mo, standing by the bed to tidy up her slightly disheveled clothes.
She controlled the electricity well, allowing Si Mo to have a proper sleep.
Saving him from thinking too much while being in space.
Mu Qingge pulled the corner of the blanket, covering Si Mo’s body. She then tidied up his hair... Today, Si Mo hadn’t tied his hair up; it hung down like a cascade of black silk. He wore a loose, natural black robe.
"Sleep well," Mu Qingge’s clear eyes showed a glint of humor. She leaned down to kiss the man on the forehead before exiting the space.
Appearing again on the deck, the deck was still empty of people.
Only, the weather had changed somewhat.
Mu Qingge looked up, staring at the suddenly darkened sky, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
When she entered the space, the sky was clear and bright—how had it turned overcast so suddenly?
Boom—!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck from the edge of the sky, directly hitting the surface of the sea.
The light was blinding, carrying the might of heaven and earth, causing chills.
On the sea, the previously calm waters began to rage. The ship floating on the surface started to rock back and forth.
Mu Qingge clung tightly to the railing, swaying with the rocking of the ship, her brows slightly furrowed, ’What’s happening?’
At this time, a warning voice came from behind her.
"Hey—! Why are you still standing here? Hurry back to the cabin!"
Mu Qingge turned to look back, realizing that the speaker was the captain, who was tensely controlling the ship’s helm. He stood firm as a rock, with spiritual power infused into the boat, connecting his body to it.
The veins on his forehead were exposed, making it clear at a glance that he was desperately grasping the course, preventing the ship from veering off on the unexpectedly erratic sea, or even capsizing.
"What are you staring at? I took your money, so I’ll get you safely to the other side! Get back inside!" shouted the captain, seeing Mu Qingge looking at him but not moving, sounding rather impatient.
Perhaps due to handling the situation, his tone appeared somewhat irritable.
Mu Qingge didn’t mind, turning towards the cabin to walk inside.
Yanghai was peculiar; no bird or beast could fly across from above. Otherwise, she would have gone over on the small multicolor mount, saving herself so much trouble.
At the docks of Yanghai, there are always ferries available daily, responsible for sending people from the Northern Continent to the East Continent, and vice versa. The ferry tickets are much cheaper than the teleportation array tickets.
Thus, the ferry became the second mode of transportation between the Northern and East Continents.
Mu Qingge had just entered the cabin when she heard "Oh dear" beside her. Immediately, a graceful figure fell toward her.
In that unexpected moment, Mu Qingge instinctively reached out, supporting the figure falling toward her, preventing her from crashing into her arms.
"Thank... Ah..."
The cabin was swaying, oscillating with the great waves.
The person’s words were not yet finished, and she exclaimed again, tumbling into Mu Qingge’s arms.
Mu Qingge’s eyes flickered, her grip on the woman’s hands adding a little more force, adjusting her position to avoid the incoming collision.
At this moment, the ship’s sway started to stabilize slightly.
Those who had been dizzy from the swinging within the cabin managed to stand firm.
"Thanks to this gentleman for rescuing me," came a pleasant female voice from beside Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge looked carefully, realizing that the woman who had lunged at her earlier was speaking to her. She examined the woman before her, with beautiful features that carried a hint of playfulness, resembling a rare little beauty.
Most importantly, she exuded a confidence, suggesting she wasn’t a pretentious type.
"No need to be so formal." Mu Qingge released her grip, stepping back slightly to put distance between them.
With previous experience, Mu Qingge had learned to maintain a certain distance from both men and women to prevent misunderstandings.
She just glanced at her once, then calmly withdrew her gaze. The woman was also observing her. Perhaps Mu Qingge’s absolutely stunning features amazed her, as she stared for quite some time, with her cheeks slightly flushed.
"Ahem." Feeling slightly uncomfortable from her gaze, Mu Qingge couldn’t help but clear her throat.
The woman didn’t feel embarrassed because of this, instead saying, "Sir, you look quite handsome."
Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched, her gaze lowered, as she said, "Thank you." With that, she turned towards deeper into the cabin.
There were more passengers in the cabin than just herself. Including the woman from before, there were roughly twenty to thirty people. Fortunately, the cabin was large enough, even with so many people inside, it still felt spacious.
However, this wasn’t any luxurious ship, just a ferry. The cabins on the lower level were very small, only enough for one person to sit cross-legged. The only good thing was that these cabins were separated, and once the door was closed, it became an enclosed space, free from disturbances by others.
Mu Qingge headed to the lower level, not intending to stay on the upper level with the others any longer.
She heard some whispered discussions, which made her realize what was happening in Yanghai and what the sudden change in weather was about.
"I’ve long heard that the weather on Yanghai is like a child’s face, changing at a moment’s notice. Today, I finally witnessed it."
"Isn’t it just! Those who dare to do ferrying business on Yanghai have some real skills and are well-acquainted with the changing winds and clouds on Yanghai."
"Why did I hear that there is a very fierce giant beast living at the bottom of Yanghai? Every time it turns over, huge waves surge on the sea surface. Whenever it roars, lightning and thunder fill the sky over Yanghai. People who are not familiar with the path might get swept into its giant mouth along the sea currents, completely unaware of being swallowed by the beast."
"I’ve heard this legend too. But, after so many years, who has ever seen the giant beast?"
"Hey, legends aren’t completely fabricated out of thin air; they hold some semblance of truth."
"Alright, stop talking. We are on a ship now; can’t we just hope for the best? Weather changes on Yanghai are quite common, and very few ships ever encounter an accident."
"Indeed! Before boarding, I inquired and found out that our captain has been ferrying on Yanghai for hundreds of years, with plenty of experience."
Mu Qingge walked down the stairs, and the sound of the discussions gradually faded away.
Whether it was the normal change of weather or the legendary beast, she wasn’t very worried. When she crossed the Bitter Sea, she had only a bit of power and managed to kill the Quyu. Now, she was in the Golden Realm, what was there to fear about the beast?
Anyway, no matter what happens, self-preservation was surely not an issue.
As she walked down to the lower cabin, Mu Qingge suddenly felt someone following her.
She stopped, turned around, and noticed that the person following her was the woman she had just helped.
The woman was silently following behind Mu Qingge, and the sudden stopping and turning made her jump in fright, feeling caught in the act of stalking.
"Don’t get me wrong, I’m not following you," she hurriedly explained.
Afraid that Mu Qingge wouldn’t believe her, she continued, "There is only one way into the lower cabin. I just happened not to want to stay up there any longer either."
Mu Qingge silently turned back around and continued walking forward. The woman kept following her closely.
Until Mu Qingge reached her cabin door, the woman was still following, nearly bumping into Mu Qingge’s upright back.
"Ah!" The woman quickly stepped back, not bumping into Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge glanced at her, her clear eyes seemed to be inquiring.
The woman slightly twitched her mouth, raised her hand to point forward, and explained to Mu Qingge, "My cabin is... in front."
Mu Qingge gave a barely noticeable nod, pushed open her cabin door with force, and stepped inside. Then, with the woman’s gaze on her, she closed the door.
The sound of the door closing and the blocked-back view of Mu Qingge made the woman outside pause, muttering to the door, "Is it necessary to be so defensive? I’m not going to eat you!"
Muttering to herself, she walked past Mu Qingge’s door and continued forward.
Three doors away from Mu Qingge’s cabin, the woman stopped, opened the door, and went in.
...
In the room, Mu Qingge stood in the cramped cabin, looking around.
There was no trace of disdain in her eyes as she sat cross-legged, preparing to cultivate.
The journey to the Demon Realm made her eager to improve her cultivation and strength. She found that as her strength increased, her enemies became more difficult to deal with.
So... she had to strive hard!
However, before she could fully enter the state of cultivation, the ship beneath her started to shake violently again.
This shaking was even more intense than before, with the creaking sound of the ship struggling to hold on, that precarious feeling as if the ship could collapse and break apart at any moment.
Rumble—!
Suddenly, a loud noise erupted on the sea surface, the kind that could change the color of heaven and earth and make people’s hearts tremble.
Mu Qingge frowned slightly, stood up, and looked out through the cabin’s round window—on the sea, huge waves surged, and the sea had become muddy. The sky was gradually darkening, as if plunging into darkness.
Knock, knock, knock—!
At this moment, the door behind her was loudly knocked.
Mu Qingge waved her hand, and the door automatically opened, a figure rushed in.
This time, Mu Qingge did not intervene but watched as the figure fell onto the small bed in the room.
The person was the same woman from earlier.
She lifted her head, her expression filled with terror as she looked at Mu Qingge, quickly saying, "I’m afraid this ship won’t hold on much longer!"
