Chapter 206: Mr. Xia, You Can’t Run Away
The ships that sail on the Eternal Flow Sea are collectively called Time-Space Ships. Among them, the capsule ship is the most common and widely used economical type of vessel. Not only are they cheap, but they are also very fast. However, their disadvantage is also obvious: they can only carry one adult. Of course, after thousands of years of continuous research and development, the capsule ship’s safety measures have long been perfected to the extreme. It wouldn’t be a big problem to squeeze in two people. It’s just that the space would be a bit cramped, which would be a fatal issue in the endless sea, where journeys can take seven to eight days or even a month. In such a confined space, two people would have almost no room to move, let alone turn over. Not to mention daily necessities like going to the restroom.
Xia Feng felt two delicate hands press against his waist, and something thick and heavy was crushing his thigh, squeezing further into the cabin.
“!”
Xia Feng subconsciously tilted his head back. Even his thick skin couldn’t help but blush a little, his eyes twitching. “No way, Miss Mu, are you poisoned!”
“So much nonsense.” The black-dressed woman said coldly. Her slender eyebrows furrowed as she gripped Xia Feng’s wrist with one hand while pressing against the cabin wall with the other. After wiggling slightly from side to side, she pushed again with more force—
Finally, her lower body also squeezed into the cabin. Her upper body pressed down on Xia Feng, and their eyes met.
“Beep beep—Warning! Warning! Cabin overloaded. Please check for foreign objects in the cabin and other abnormalities—Warning! Warning! Cabin…”
The cabin flashed with a crisis red light, and a mechanical female voice echoed from all directions. “If you cannot detect any abnormalities, you can call the Mars Shipping Customer Service hotline at 10099. We are available 24 hours a day. Beep beep—Detecting abnormal state, transferring automatically—”
“Hello, sir, how can I help you?” A gentle customer service female voice sounded. Mu Qingtong’s voice changed, and she said in Xia Feng’s voice, “I’m sorry, I’m fine here. Sorry to have bothered you.”
With that, she looked up and tapped the light screen on the cabin ceiling, ending the call. Then, she tapped ‘Ignore overload risk and continue sailing.’
Xia Feng: “…”
Hiss—With Mu Qingtong’s operation, the circular cabin door under their feet closed with a ding. The red light inside the cabin disappeared, replaced by a gentle, faint blue scattered light, making it look like being in a starry sky.
“Ding dong—Cabin door closed. This journey’s starting point is Coast 8, District 51. The destination is Coast 3, District 49. One-way, no insurance. Maximum stay is 30 calendar days. Passenger number 12138, please fasten your seatbelt. Countdown begins in 10 seconds—”
Xia Feng, in his current state, couldn’t fasten his seatbelt at all. He tapped ‘No seatbelt required,’ and the red system warning pop-up immediately faded. Capsule ships are very stable when sailing, so seatbelts are not mandatory, except for very young children who need to be secured to prevent injury from sudden bumps.
[Attention: Non-professional personnel, please do not interfere with the autopilot program during the journey. You will be responsible for any accidents caused by interfering with the pilot or deviating from the flight path!]
[Mars Shipping Warm Reminder: There are thousands of paths, but safety is paramount. Improper sailing leads to tears for your loved ones.]
“Countdown 3 seconds—”
“2—”
“1—” Both of them felt a momentary sense of dizziness and weightlessness. Mu Qingtong, under the inertia, unexpectedly pressed down again, her pretty face sinking into Xia Feng’s neck.
The capsule-shaped cabin lifted off and, like other capsule ships, quickly disappeared into the giant light gate that stood between heaven and earth. The next moment, they appeared in a world flowing with azure blue light. The streams of light resembled surging seawater, and the capsule ship slowly moved along these flowing waters.
Xia Feng looked up towards the top of the cabin and found an oval glass window that allowed him to see the outside world. The magnificent and solemn tall gate, standing solemnly in the dark void, gradually receded from Xia Feng’s vision. This gate was called the [World Gate], and each World Gate connected to a large district. This was Xia Feng’s first time leaving District 51 and seeing the World Gate of District 51 in reality.
“Wiggle—Wiggle—” The restless movements of the woman on him drew Xia Feng’s attention back. He gasped and pressed down on the black-dressed woman’s delicate shoulders, “Miss Mu, what do you want now?”
Mu Qingtong raised her beautiful eyes and said coldly, “You’re poking me.”
“!”
“!” How could that be? I’m a god who can control myself, how could I poke… Xia Feng’s thoughts froze. He reached out and silently moved Gui Dao, which was clipped to his waist, to lie flat. So it was the hilt that was poking you. You can’t even say things clearly!
“Master, can I return to human form?” Yue Hongli’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Don’t,” Xia Feng quickly advised. “If you return to human form, I’ll really be squeezed to death!”
“So, Miss Mu, don’t you have two tickets?” In the cramped space, Xia Feng felt like he could barely breathe, especially his chest, which was being pressed down and felt…呸, felt very uncomfortable.
“Indeed, we can take two separate ships.” Mu Qingtong nodded calmly, her beautiful eyes under the half-frame gold-rimmed glasses looking down at the man beneath her. “But Mr. Xia, do you know how to pilot a Time-Space Ship?”
“Tsk, who do you think you are looking down on!” Xia Feng immediately retorted. “Piloting isn’t difficult. I’ll learn it in a few tries.”
Most Time-Space Ships navigate automatically to their destination, but if there are pursuers, you’ll need to be able to pilot it yourself. To be honest, piloting a Time-Space Ship isn’t that difficult, but to master advanced piloting skills, it requires a lot of time to study. Xia Feng remembered that the piloting courses for Time-Space Ships were only offered in the third year of university, and he was only in his first year, so he hadn’t studied them carefully yet, only knowing the basics. But this was absolutely not a reason for Mu Qingtong to squeeze in!
Xia Feng’s dark eyes shone with intelligence, and he let out a cold laugh. “Miss Mu, stop pretending. Tell me your true purpose!”
Xia Feng originally intended to visit Miss Evil Dragon during the voyage. Now that Miss Mu was here, he couldn’t set up a formation. However, Xia Feng observed the surroundings and found that there was no major problem. Setting up a small and precise teleportation formation should not be an issue. But before looking for Miss Evil Dragon, he decided to take advantage of the remaining time in his Enlightenment Domain to subdue the arrogance of this witch!
Mu Qingtong didn’t expect Xia Feng to not be fooled and to see through her intentions. Since that was the case, she stopped acting. Her slender eyebrows curled, her curled eyelashes lowered slightly, and her beautiful eyes instantly flashed with coldness.
“Slap—” She directly grabbed the man’s wrist beneath her and pressed his hand above his head. A strand of soft silver thread fell onto Xia Feng’s cheek.
“I have to say, this is a natural enclosed space for a physical strength confrontation.” Under the elegant gold-rimmed half-frame, her cool and aloof pretty face curved into a calm smile. “So, Mr. Xia, even if you wanted to run, you can’t anymore!”
