Chapter: Chapter 223
How does it feel to spend a night at sea? If Leticia were to answer that question, it probably wouldn’t be very comfortable.
Unlike the previous few days, she didn’t suffer from insomnia after going to bed early yesterday. Instead, she fell asleep quickly, but that wasn’t a good thing.
For some reason, Leticia’s dreams last night were exceptionally chaotic, so much so that the bizarre scenes couldn’t be described in words. However, for a dream, this might be considered normal.
Although Leticia hadn’t experienced this before.
“Why did I dream of carrying a harpoon to hunt a giant squid? How strange.” Pressing her temples, Leticia slowly sat up from the small bed, a wave of dizziness still lingering in her mind.
It was probably a lingering effect from waking up from that strange dream.
After about ten minutes, the dizziness gradually subsided. Leticia stood up, opened the door to her small room, and walked out.
It was still early, and Bai Ling and An Xi hadn’t woken up yet. However, the tour guide was already up and pacing repeatedly within the cabin.
Seeing Leticia emerge from her room, the tour guide immediately greeted her before continuing to pace, her expression revealing that she was likely quite unsettled at the moment.
“What’s wrong? You look so glum.” This was clearly an invitation for others to inquire, and Leticia didn’t stand on ceremony, asking proactively.
Hearing the question, the tour guide’s pent-up emotions finally found an outlet. She immediately launched into an explanation of what had just happened, recounting it all to Leticia.
As it turned out, the tour guide hadn’t woken up naturally either. She had been roused by the captain, who looked apologetic.
“The captain said we can’t stay here anymore. He’s going to sail the ship further away, even out of the designated travel waters.”
“Why did you suddenly make this decision? There must be a reason, right?” Sitting down on a small chair, Leticia reached into the mini-fridge and pulled out a bottle of cold soda, then took a large gulp.
Ah, refreshing. The icy sensation completely dispelled the lingering drowsiness. At this moment, Leticia’s mind was operating at full capacity.
“The captain didn’t explain clearly, but I don’t think he wanted to do this either. After all, if the itinerary is changed at the last minute, he has to refund part of the money. Something must have happened to make the captain make this decision.”
Willing to refund money just to leave this place? Interesting.
Stroking her smooth chin, Leticia’s eyes sparkled with thought. This matter was definitely not simple. But by the time the tour guide was woken up, everything was already decided. They might already be on their way to leave.
Looking out through the porthole, Leticia saw the receding sea surface. They were currently sailing.
“Did the captain really not give any reason?” Leticia asked.
“His excuse was that a heavy rainstorm was imminent, and for our safety, it was best to leave this place.”
After saying this, the tour guide took out her phone from her pocket, tapped on the screen a few times, and then handed the phone to Leticia. “But I checked the weather forecast, and it’s been sunny and pleasant these past few days. There won’t be any rainstorms, let alone…”
Her gaze shifted outside the window. The weather outside could be described as cloudless. From any perspective, it didn’t look like a rainstorm was approaching.
If it started pouring rain later, she’d twist off her own head.
“Indeed, this weather doesn’t look like it’s about to take a sudden turn for the worse.” Leticia also glanced outside. As the tour guide said, the weather outside was quite good.
So, it was now basically certain that the captain was lying.
As for whether it was a confidential matter or something else, it didn’t concern Leticia much. For her, it didn’t matter where she played.
This unchanging seascape, could it possibly conjure any surprises?
Moreover, even if she were to ask now, she probably wouldn’t get a clear answer. She couldn’t exactly threaten the captain to death like she did with those few burly men last time.
However, on this ship, among their group, there was a girl who could steal people’s thoughts just by making eye contact.
If the captain had indeed made this decision due to some reason, then the crew members would certainly not be unaware of it. A simple inquiry would suffice, and even if the crew members didn’t say anything, the answer would undoubtedly have flashed through their minds.
This way, without any effort, information would be obtained. How convenient.
The telepathic superpowered individual could only be described with one word at this moment: useful, extremely useful.
“Let’s leave this matter for now. I’ll discuss it with Bai Ling after she wakes up. You just continue communicating with the captain and crew as usual. It doesn’t matter where we play.” Leticia put on an understanding expression. If the captain were truly not at fault, she would continue to be understanding.
But if she discovered any hidden conspiracies behind this, then the understanding Leticia would cease to be understanding.
The Demon Lord’s temper was far from good, especially towards those who intended to stab her in the back. She was a living devil, a true living devil.
The kind that could send you to meet the real king of hell.
A faint breeze brushed past Leticia’s cheek. She turned her head towards the direction of the wind, feeling a bit strange. Why was there wind here?
“Huh?” As she turned, she saw an incredibly bizarre gray tentacle. The tentacle was writhing on the cabin wall, and even just looking at it made Leticia feel dizzy.
But in a blink of an eye, the tentacle vanished as if it had evaporated. Leticia rubbed her eyes, but couldn’t find any trace of the tentacle’s existence.
“Did you see anything strange just now?” Leticia turned and asked the tour guide.
Anything strange? The tour guide shook her head doubtfully. She only saw Leticia freeze strangely for a moment, but she herself saw nothing.
“Was it an illusion?” Leticia murmured, looking at where the tentacle had disappeared.
For some reason, she felt that the tentacle was quite familiar, as if she had seen something like it not too long ago.
Could it be that she saw it in her dream?
“Impossible, I’m probably just dazed from sleeping.”
The strange object that appeared and disappeared suddenly didn’t trouble Leticia for too long. If that thing truly posed a problem, it would appear before her again.
If it never appeared again, Leticia wouldn’t mind acting as if it never existed.
However, this matter still needed to be reported to Miss Bai. Leticia didn’t want to be like the idiotic protagonist in those trashy movies who found many clues but told her companions nothing, ultimately pushing them step by step into the abyss of death.
“So many things happened while I was asleep?” Bai Ling, who had just woken up from a pleasant dream, rubbed her forehead in distress. She was never good at thinking things through, and just speculating about it made her scalp tingle.
Thinking this, she turned her gaze to Leticia. The Demon Lord’s thinking ability was definitely much stronger than hers. At this moment, it would be better to let Leticia make the decision.
Sensing the meaningful gaze, Leticia helplessly turned her head aside. “Can’t you think for yourself a little? You’re a Sword Saint, a Sword Saint!”
Why was a human Sword Saint treating the Demon Lord as her external brain? This was too strange.
Bai Ling walked slowly behind Leticia with a slight smile, then opened her arms and embraced the petite girl. “I’m really not good at thinking about these things. You’re definitely smarter than me.”
Hearing Bai Ling personally say “You’re smarter than me,” Leticia’s eyebrows shot up, and her mood instantly improved.
The Sword Saint’s主动服输 (proactive admission of defeat) was the best gift for the Demon Lord.
“It’s the truth, isn’t it? With a brain that can only think about eating and sex, how can you compare to my wise mind?” Leticia snorted proudly. “Alright, get off me. Although the location has changed, our activities still need to continue.”
Anyway, they were all at sea. This place was probably no different from the previous one. It’s not like the previous location was some auspicious spot and this current one is a desolate wasteland, right?
Leticia had already looked. If the tour guide hadn’t reminded her that they had changed locations, she wouldn’t even have realized that this place was different from yesterday’s.
It was more or less the same. Only those with a deep understanding of the ocean could discern the difference between two spots in the vast expanse of water. For Leticia, who was seeing the sea for the first time and was a landlubber, there was almost no difference.
“Sister Qianqian, Sister Bai, good morning.” At this moment, a faint voice came from the side. An Xi, the little girl, rubbed her eyes and walked out of her room.
After greeting them, the little girl realized the current posture of her two sisters seemed a little ambiguous.
From An Xi’s perspective, Sister Bai was hugging Sister Qianqian from behind, with Sister Bai wearing a placating smile. Sister Qianqian’s face, although showing a hint of impatience, still accepted Sister Bai’s embrace.
With two such beautiful girls so intimately close, An Xi’s ten-year-old brain, already quite mature, couldn’t process it for a moment.
“Oh no, Bai, let go of me quickly.” Seeing that there was an outsider, Leticia immediately struggled.
But Miss Bai seemed reluctant to let Leticia go. She tightened her grip slightly, forcibly suppressing Leticia’s struggles.
It was at this moment that An Xi also walked out of her room.
Before she could even greet them, she was stunned speechless by the scene before her.
“I… I didn’t see anything!” After regaining her senses, An Xi immediately grabbed her sister’s hand and pulled her back into the room, closing the door firmly.
If they continued watching, they might be silenced.
Tsk tsk tsk. She had originally thought that Miss Bai and Miss Su were just good friends. She didn’t expect them to be in this kind of relationship.
That black-haired girl, who always seemed so arrogant, now looked so submissive. Was this the legendary contrast萌 (moe/cute)?
“Sister, what are Sister Qianqian and Sister Bai doing?” An Xi looked into her sister’s eyes and asked.
“Cough, cough, it’s best for children not to know.” An Xi coughed awkwardly, forcefully changing the subject.
This tactic might work for others, but it was completely ineffective with An Xi. When An Xi didn’t look away immediately, she had already gotten the answer she wanted.
“Eh, are Sister Qianqian and Sister Bai dating?” The little girl’s eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t understand her sister’s thoughts about yuri and lesbianism, but she understood one thing: those two beautiful older sisters were dating.
But isn’t dating supposed to be between a girl and a boy?
“Can two girls also date?”
An Xi opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but didn’t know where to start. Generally, it did require a man and a woman to date. But how fast times were developing now. If same-sex couples wanted to date, it wasn’t impossible.
Especially for those two ladies, they had money and power. If they wanted to date, which ghost or monster would dare to object?
“Can girls and girls, and boys and boys date?!” An Xi’s explanation didn’t come out, but An Xi had already gotten her answer. Her little head was completely overloading.
Her long-held common sense had been challenged. She had to work hard to reassemble her worldview.
“So, can I also go find beautiful girls to date?”
Huh? Hearing this, An Xi’s expression stiffened. Why would An Xi suddenly have such a thought?
Her sister was only ten years old. If someone dared to date her sister, An Xi would risk her own life to drown that pervert in the sea.
She wanted to correct her sister’s misunderstanding, but An Xi couldn’t find the words to explain after searching her mind. In the end, she could only sigh, “In any case, relationships between men and women are still more normal.”
“But girls are prettier than boys, and I like girls more!” An Xi said with conviction.
An Xi’s face showed an incredulous expression. “But Xiaoxin, you’ve basically never left the house, right?”
