Chapter 347: Disaster
Inside the room.
Silent.
Only the sound of water ding-donging could be heard from the glass fish tank against the wall.
Through the glass wall, one could see water plants, coral, and reefs, with colorful fish swimming among them.
As the ship entered the special sea area, the ashy glass wall covering the water surface quickly became damp, and the condensed dewdrops gathered towards two milky white stalactites hanging upside down.
Each crystal converged into a stream of water, flowing down the white stalactites, creating ripples that tingled on the clear water surface.
This was a normal phenomenon in the Eternal Flow Sea. The Eternal Flow Sea contained many sea areas, and the spatial environment at the boundaries of these sea areas would be abnormal.
When ships traversed such regions, they would experience harsh environments such as high temperatures, low temperatures, and thunderstorms.
Currently, only the environmental humidity had drastically increased, making it extremely damp. This was considered a disaster with relatively low risk.
Xia Feng’s brows were furrowed. He also felt a significant increase in humidity inside the wardrobe. He raised his hand and looked at it, finding his palm and fingers covered in dew.
Blinking, he placed his right hand in front of the black-dressed woman’s lips and nose, and chuckled with a smile close to her ear, “Miss Mu, look, what is this?”
“…”
Mu Qingtong remained with her legs tightly pressed together, sitting upright with her back straight. Her beautiful eyes glanced down at the man’s fingers in front of her, her gaze calm, “What else could it be? The humidity in this place is too high. The condensed dewdrops are mixed with your disgusting sweat, Mr. Xia.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is.”
Xia Feng nodded and thoughtfully put his hand down again, “I thought…”
Mu Qingtong’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly again, and she stood straight without changing her expression, “Mr. Xia, that’s enough. Stop it while you’re ahead!”
“Stop it while I’m ahead?”
Xia Feng looked at the black-dressed woman whose face was close to his, her delicate neck slightly raised, and her beautiful eyes narrowed. He smiled faintly, “Miss Mu, when you played with me twice using the Fate Stone, did you ever think of stopping while you were ahead?”
“…”
“The tables have turned. Now it’s my turn.”
Xia Feng would not let go of such a perfect opportunity to tease Mu Qingtong.
“However, I am not a devil either.”
“If Miss Mu calls me Master, I will naturally let you go, how about that?”
The man’s voice, as he leaned in to whisper, became more smug and mocking. Mu Qingtong’s golden eyes, which gradually showed ripples, trembled slightly. She slowly narrowed them, gritting her back teeth to maintain her indifferent expression.
“Mr. Xia, I will remember today’s humiliation. You will regret and despair for this,” she said softly, her voice remaining steady without any fluctuation.
As this threat fell, just as she was about to say something more, the entire ship suddenly shook.
The two of them raised their heads and looked at each other.
“Entering a high-risk environment. Detected downpour disaster. All crew members are to return to their cabins immediately and take disaster prevention measures.”
A mechanical female voice broadcasted in the room.
As they entered the high-risk environment, it was visible to the naked eye that in the decorative fish tank in the bedroom, the fish were jumping out of the water one after another.
The condensation rate of water dew on the inverted stalactites also accelerated crazily, falling with clattering sounds like a downpour.
This was the first time Xia Feng had witnessed such a bizarre disaster. The humidity could actually condense into mist out of thin air in space, thus causing localized downpours.
“Dong dong dong dong—” At the same time, dense footsteps echoed rapidly from the ship’s control room, collection cabin, storage cabin, and various corridors.
It was obvious that this sudden disaster had disrupted their deployment.
“I have to say, this disaster is really powerful.”
Xia Feng chuckled and sighed, “What do you think, Miss Mu~”
Mu Qingtong clenched her fists, her beautiful, delicate brows furrowed. She was really about to get angry!
Agitated spirit particles gathered in her palm. “Don’t use your spirit pressure so easily. Jiang Qiue is very cautious and perceptive.”
Gently pinching her sweaty, delicate jaw, Xia Feng leaned his face against her smooth cheek, his black eyes watching the chaotic crowd running outside. “Miss Mu, you don’t want anyone to see your current appearance, do you?”
“.” Mu Qingtong took a deep breath, and had to give up the idea of hitting him again. Then, she activated the ability of the Fate Stone.
But unfortunately, this damned Mr. Xia, even with a hoarse voice and unclear consciousness, still wouldn’t let her off, vowing to drag her down into the abyss of shame with him.
Hurting each other.
Mu Qingtong finally had to give up struggling, but no matter what, she would not make a sound, even if she died.
Her cool, aloof little face was expressionless, her swan-like neck tilted as she frowned, looking at the ceiling.
Her gaze penetrated through layers of material structure, and she could easily see the scene outside. The Eternal Flow Sea had set off tsunamis, and this ship, and even the several fleets closely following behind, were rotating and tumbling in the spatial disaster, suffering hardships.
It seemed that indeed, the process of understanding, conquering, and controlling one’s own kind would encounter many obstacles.
The current situation was undoubtedly the greatest obstacle in her life, and it could even be said to be a stain-level ordeal.
But it didn’t matter. Mr. Xia, this idiot, would never understand that he was merely a stepping stone for her to ascend to the throne in the sky—
!
“Miss Mu, smell this. What is it?” Xia Feng raised his right hand to her indifferent beautiful eyes again, and then suddenly covered her lips and nose.
“—”
“?!”
[Your provocation has completely enraged the World-Ending Witch, further stimulating her inspiration and thinking. It also allowed her to gain a deeper understanding of her own desires. With immense shame and terrible anger, she begins to upgrade and construct the underlying rules of the Fate Stone—]
[Mu Qingtong has gained enlightenment, realizing the relationship of mutual generation and restraint, and the relative relationship between inhibition and release. She begins to perfect the second core rule chain of the Fate Stone. You have gained a 50-point mental power increase—]
[Second Rule:
1. Designate target, the target will gain infinite persistence ability.
2. Designate target, the target will gain an easily shattered negative curse.
3. Designate target, the target will gain a negative curse opposite to (2). The target’s ‘sword intent’ will be permanently suppressed and unable to be unleashed.
4. To be constructed.]
Xia Feng, after receiving the information: “?”
What is this? Why can’t I understand it?
But soon, he personally felt the effect of the third designated ability.
Then he was stunned, his face turning red with frustration, “Mu Qingtong, what did you do to me!”
Mu Qingtong’s lips curved into a faint smile. Regaining some advantage made her feel slightly relieved, giving her the capital to negotiate with this idiot.
She now understood that compared to humiliating Mr. Xia, making him unable to achieve his desires would be the most unbearable for him.
It would drive this scoundrel crazy!
“Heh~” However, the next moment, she heard the man’s extremely hateful light laughter by her ear again, “Just kidding, foolish Miss Mu, you didn’t really think I had no way, did you~”
The effect of the Excitation Ring precisely countered the third designated ability. The World-Ending Witch’s plan had failed.
Mu Qingtong’s expression froze slightly.
“Miss Mu, your actions have angered me again, so be prepared. I’m going to punish you even more severely.”
The slight smile Mu Qingtong had just curled up stiffened, returning to icy coldness: “.”
“Click—”
Just then, the bedroom door suddenly opened!
A woman in a green dress entered.
Jiang Qiue closed the door behind her and walked slowly towards the wardrobe.
The two of them froze.
