Chapter 21: A Night at Sea

The endless turquoise sea glistens in the sun, with occasional breezes sparkling with a little bit of sparkle.

At this time, a large fleet of ships is hoisting their sails and slowly sailing on this endless sea. Some white seabirds also stand on the mast or follow behind the fleet with their wings outstretched, hoping to find some food from here.

A medium-sized sea vessel in the fleet.

Listening to the birdsong in the sky and feeling the sea breeze blowing on his face, Shui Wuyueqi turned around, turned his back to the sun, and asked, "How is it, has she tried to escape?"

Yayoi was lazily leaning on the cabin behind him, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw someone coming over and shouting, "Hey, it's your turn to be on duty this time." ”

Yayoi raised her eyebrows, the expression on her face remained unchanged, but the tone in her mouth became inexplicably soft: "Haven't we already been on duty?"

After finishing speaking, he chuckled and ignored the other party.

When the man heard Yayoi's words, his eyes became glazed, and he stood still. It wasn't until Yayoi's chuckle reached his ears that his eyes returned to clarity, and without saying a word, he left on his own.

Shui Wuyue Qi smiled and stood quietly to the side watching, waiting until the man left before he spoke: "If you use this powerful illusion on him every time, I'm afraid that after a while, he will either become a madman or die directly." ”

Yayoi let out a nonchalantly "um" and moved his body so that the sunlight blocked by Shui Wuyueqi could shine on him again, and then he said: "This guy is just a small steward, but he actually wants to do something to me, and he deserves to die." ”

Shui Wuyue let out an "oh" clearly, although several of her people have undergone disfigurement, but Yayoi was born extremely beautiful, although she focused on her face when she was disguised, her body was graceful, and it was inevitable that she would attract the attention of others.

Thinking of this in his heart, Shui Wuyueqi's eyes swept Yayoi casually.

Unexpectedly, being looked at by Shui Wuyueqi, Yayoi immediately moved to the back as if he had been stimulated by something, and then looked at Shui Wuyueqi vigilantly and defensively, and said in a low voice: "Tell you, I will never make it look like the 'bucket waist and elephant legs' you said." ”

Feeling the lust in Yayoi's tone and the lack of confidence, Shui Wuyueqi glanced at her funny, and then said with a smile: "Okay, okay, you can decide this kind of thing yourself." ”

Then, the smile on Shui Wuyueqi's face weakened slightly, and said, "Okay, let's talk about the child's situation." ”

The look on Yayoi's face also became a little serious, and he said seriously: "That child's talent, I think even in our family, is the top level. Some low-level water-based ninjutsu, she can activate it instantaneously, and she doesn't need to seal it. ”

"Hmm, is it so strong?"

Shui Wuyueqi lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, Shui Wuyue Qi raised his head again, with a hint of Yayoi's inscrutable meaning in his tone, and said, "Okay, then let's go and have a look together tonight to see what is unique about this first blood successor of the Ghost Lantern Clan." ”

……

Night.

The speed of the fleet slowed slightly, and it moved forward at a constant speed at sea. Crews on duty at night walked up and down the decks of the various ships, guarding against any possible dangers.

"Wow, wow, wow. ”

The door was knocked three times at an even speed, and the little girl who was sleeping was awakened in an instant.

Swallowing lightly, feeling her instantaneous heartbeat, Ghost Lantern Huali calmed down, tried her best to keep her voice calm, and asked in a crisp voice, "Outside the door...... Who is it?"

"Whew. ”

No one answered her question, but there was another knock on the door with the same force as before.

Ghost Lantern Huali's small body trembled violently with fright, hesitated for a moment, but still stood up gently, came to the door, and opened the door.

As the door was slowly opened, Shui Wuyueqi and the three of them also saw the ghost lantern Huali in the house. At this time, she was wearing a small pajamas, and one hand was still on the door. Seeing Shui Wuyueqi's gaze projected, his body subconsciously hid in the corner.

Shui Wuyue Kai walked in first, Yayoi followed, and Ruri closed the door at the end.

Shui Wuyueqi sat down by herself, looked at the little girl standing in the corner of the room with a cower, groaned, and said, "Say, let's talk, do I want to spare your life today?"

As if frightened by the meaning of Shui Wuyueqi's words, Ghost Lantern Huali's body trembled violently, and then saw that Shui Wuyueqi and the three of them had no other movements, they were all looking at themselves quietly, so they lowered their little heads and searched for the "reason" why Shui Wuyueqi wanted.

Yayoi stood aside, looking at Shui Wuyueqi's face that still seemed to have a hint of a smile on his face, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

For the people around Shui Wuyueqi, his blood disease is no secret. Therefore, although Shui Wuyueqi acted violently in the past and made people tremble at every turn, there are still traces to follow, and people close to him can guess some of his thoughts.

But now, thinking of this, Yayoi glanced at Shui Wuyue Qi again, she didn't believe that Shui Wuyueqi really left the village this time just to help her heal.

Thinking of these in his heart, Yayoi was a little distracted on the surface, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Shui Wuyue Kaizheng was looking at him with a smile.

Looking at Shui Wuyue's handsome face and gentle smile, for some reason, Yayoi suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and then he broke out in a cold sweat.

Shui Wuyueqi shook his head, his body turned slightly, looked at the ghost lamp Huali again, and said softly: "Miss Huali, the time is almost up." ”

Ghost Lantern Huali was only six or seven years old at this time, and she was just a little girl, although she was precocious, but this was still not enough for her to behave freely in front of Shui Wuyueqi and the others.

Listening to Shui Wuyueqi's words, Ghost Lantern Huali panicked, her legs and feet were a little weak unconsciously, and she slowly leaned against the wall and collapsed to the ground.

Regarding the appearance of the ghost lantern Huali, Shui Wuyueqi didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.

Naturally, the ghost lantern Huali will not light the lamp when she sleeps at night, and Shui Wuyueqi and the three of them have also not lit the lamp after they came in. Therefore, at this time, the room was actually pitch black, and several people could only see the general outline and movements of each other.

In the perception of the ghost lantern Huali at this time, the place where Shui Wuyueqi is located seems to be a black hole, although rationally judges that Shui Wuyueqi should be sitting there looking at this side, but the perception tells her: there is nothing there, only one that is constantly absorbing everything around it, and the void exists.

Shui Wuyueqi's hand moved, and the water vapor around the ghost lamp Huali immediately condensed into ice, supporting the ghost lamp Huali who was paralyzed on the ground, and floated towards him.

Shui Wuyueqi gently pressed his hand on the back of Ghost Lantern Huali's neck, and said softly, "Say, why do you think they arranged for you to go on the road alone." Say yes, live. Say wrong, die. ”

As soon as the voice of Shui Wuyue Qi fell, Yayoi and Ruri smelled a strange smell emanating from the ghost lantern Hanari at the same time.

Shui Wuyueqi obviously smelled it, but he didn't see how he moved, and with a slight wave of his other hand, a little bit of fine ice chips immediately condensed on Ghost Lantern Huali's legs.

Ghost Lantern Huali felt the palm that was pressing on the back of her neck at this time, and the five fingers that were slightly cool were like five sharp knives in her heart, making her feel extreme fear, but she also slowly calmed down strangely.

After a few breaths, Ghost Lantern Huali raised her head slightly, forced herself to meet Shui Wuyueqi's eyes, and said tremblingly: "Because, the family thinks, this will make me more difficult to be discovered." ”

In the darkness, the ghost lantern Huali could not capture the true reaction of Shui Wuyueqi. But it was clear that the person in front of him was satisfied with her words.

This is not obtained by observing words and colors, if anything, it should be the intuition of the ghost lantern Huali, an instinct of the weak in front of the apex predator.

Sure enough, Shui Wuyueqi's next move confirmed the feeling of the ghost lantern Huali.

Shui Wuyueqi leaned down slightly, and did not dislike the filth on the ghost lamp Huali, but gently wiped the tears and snot from her face, and then let her sit on her lap, and said softly to her: "You are a smart child, you shouldn't just die here." ”

As she spoke, Shui Wuyue put her right hand around her, and her left hand lit up slightly, flashing a slowly rotating six-sided snowflake rune, which slowly pressed towards the forehead of the ghost lantern flower pear.

There was both horror and sluggishness in Ghost Lantern Huali's eyes, and all the subconscious minds were frantically telling her: Don't let that rune touch you!

But in the end, Ghost Lantern Huali's little face was slightly raised, and he carefully took the initiative to let the rune be printed on his forehead.

She even tried to gently press her cheek against Shui Wuyueqi's palm, like a little beast begging for her master's pity.

As soon as the rune touched the skin of Ghost Lantern Huali's forehead, it immediately spun rapidly, and then slowly transferred from Shui Wuyueqi's palm to Ghost Lantern Huali's forehead, and then disappeared.

Shui Wuyueqi stood up with satisfaction, gently touched the little head of the ghost lamp Huali, and said with a happy tone in his tone: "I didn't plan to take this path, probably it was 'fate' that we would meet." ”

Seemingly satisfied with his little teasing, Shui Wuyueqi laughed again before continuing: "Forget about tonight, I won't be looking for you in a few years." ”

Speaking of this, Shui Wuyue Qi couldn't hide his pride, and in Yayoi's somewhat incredulous gaze, he leaned down, kissed lightly on the forehead of the somewhat overwhelmed Ghost Lantern Huali, and whispered, "You have to practice hard." ”

Then, Shui Wuyueqi turned around, opened the door, and said as he walked out, "Have a good rest, I think there will be a 'friend' to visit you tomorrow." ”
