Chapter 429: Subtle Men and Women
The narrow cabin lounge shook violently under the crash of the waves, the thick and tight wooden hull seeped into the damp seawater, the dim candlelight flickered, and the whole world seemed to fall into a brief silence in the sudden roar of thunder.
"Do you think I don't see what you're trying to do with that little girl these days?"
In the corner of the cabin, Winnie's face was slightly pale, but it couldn't hide the thick mockery that hooked up the corners of her mouth.
"From every question you ask her, I can hear the cry of greed and jealousy in the darkness of your heart, but you have disguised your desire with your hypocritical face, in fact, do you really want to dissect her body and take out the supreme source of evil power in her body? But you don't dare, because you're afraid, afraid of failure! ”
Xia Lan didn't make a sound, just looked at her quietly.
"Frank. Xialan, remember when I told you you you were sick? Winnie chuckled as she ate, and the laughter was chilling. Because I have the same disease as you, but I have handled it very well, and you don't...... In fact, in my eyes, you are an unreachable fool, who will always use your shallow wisdom and violence to deal with everything, and you don't know how to disguise yourself, you don't know how to hide yourself, and you don't know how to make reasonable use of the resources at your disposal...... The most important thing is that even if you turn into darkness, you still retain that weak humanity that yearns for light in the depths of your heart! Amusing! It's ridiculous......"
Xia Lan stared into Winnie's eyes, and at some point invisible black lines spread out.
"Finished?"
His voice was unusually flat, without a hint of emotion.
"Of course not!" Winnie stopped laughing. His face grew cold. "Frank. Charan. Now you have finally abandoned that humanity. But you don't have any credit anymore, and if I'm right, you're going to kill me when you're done using my worth, right? ”
"Yes." Xia Lan nodded calmly in acknowledgement. "But it's also an opportunity for you."
"Is it a chance to kill you before my worth is squeezed out of you by you? Hehe...... I don't think I'll be able to grasp this opportunity in front of you, who have completely destroyed your humanity! Winnie laughed to herself.
"At least you can take this opportunity to live a little longer." Charland Road.
"Hopefully, you won't regret your decision today." Winnie looked at him meaningfully.
Xia Lan raised her hand and waved it at her gently, and an invisible qi blade instantly cut through the tightly bound white cloth on Winnie's body, completely lifting her confinement.
Winnie moved her body and tried to stand up, but the weakness of her limbs and the rocking of the ship in the storm made it difficult for her to support her body, and after a few attempts, she simply gave up.
"I have a question, aren't you afraid that I will whisper your plot to that girl?" Winnie lay on her back on the room deck with her body outstretched. Try to relax and regulate the body.
"Do you think she'll believe what you say?" Xia Lan asked rhetorically.
"Also, that girl already has a deep love for you, and you are the only one in the whole world, and she will not care about other people's sowing discord at all, and it may even cause her anger." Winnie sneered: "It's ridiculous that her lover is always thinking about seizing the power in her body, what a pathetic and poor child." ”
"Is there any difference between you and her now?" Xia Lan said lightly.
"At least I entrusted myself to someone who truly loved me." Winnie's expression was cold, and her eyes were full of cold light as she stared at Xia Lan.
"I wasn't the one who actually killed Herbert, although his death did have something to do with me." Charland Road.
"Does it make sense to say that now?" Winnie said.
"Nope." Xia Lan said: "I just want to tell you a fact, if you really want revenge, the object is not just me." ”
"Of course, I understand that the culprit who killed Herbert was the "subversive fangs". But who is more likely to vent my resentment than you and the "subversive fangs"? Winnie sneered, "If I can't even kill you, how can I talk about facing the even more vicious 'Subversive Fangs'? ”
"It turns out that I am just a stepping stone on your path to revenge." Xia Lan said indifferently.
"Do you only understand now?" Winnie scoffed.
"Just confirming the suspicions." Xia Lan said disapprerovantly: "She's coming back." You improvise on your own. ”
"Really?" A meaningful smile appeared on Winnie's face, and she said, "But can't she hear our conversation?" I remember that her abilities were far superior to yours! ”
"Don't worry, she only exerts her strength when she encounters danger and fights, and other times she is like an ordinary person, or rather, she is deliberately restraining herself, because her latent consciousness does not agree with the transformation of her evil self at all." Xia Lan said: "Besides, in this room, I have isolated the outside world with my senses, and I will immediately stop talking at the slightest intrusion. ”
"Tsk, it seems that you are more vigilant than ever." Winnie exclaimed.
Ignoring Winnie, Charan turned his head to look at the wooden door, for his perception had detected Adelina who was about to arrive outside the door.
Knock knock knock -
As the wooden door knocked and pushed open, Adrina was stunned when she saw the situation in the room.
"Aderina, how are things going on with Magnison?"
Before she could speak without knowing it, Xia Lan asked first.
"I've taken him to another safe and dry cabin, but he's in a bad condition, and he's burning badly...... "Adrina said, her eyes glancing at Winnie lying in the corner.
"I see, I'll see him later when I have time." Xia Lan nodded, and explained Winnie's matter roughly by the way. "Winnie is already awake, so there's no need to tie her up anymore."
"But...... What if she suddenly assassinates you again? Adelina looked at Winnie with a wary look in her eyes.
"Miss Adrina, you seem to think too highly of me, or rather, you underestimate the strength of Your Excellency Xia Lan too much, just because I want to assassinate him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve in this life." Winnie, who was lying on the ground, looked sideways at the other and chuckled. "Besides, I've realized that I've been wrong to blame Mr. Xia Lan since my head cleared, so you don't have to worry that I'll take revenge on him again."
"Really?" Adelina was full of suspicion, she had seen the other party's crazy appearance of wanting to kill Mr. Xialan, so it was hard to believe her words.
"Yes, my conversation with Winiton Guò has cleared up the misunderstanding." Xia Lan said at the right time on the side.
“…… Since Mr. Charlan has said so, Miss Winnie, please forgive me for my faux pas. Adelina pouted.
"Hehe, it's okay, Miss Adrina, please take care of me in the future." Winnie smiled as if she didn't care.
From a woman's instincts, Adelina always felt uncomfortable with Winnie's words, as if there was something strange in them, but with Mr. Charlan by her side, she couldn't spoil the friendly atmosphere in front of her.
Women have a natural hostility towards women, but women hide it very well, even if you know that they are talking badly about each other behind their backs, but at least on the surface they still get along as they are.
Very few women are able to fully trust another woman, especially between beautiful women, not to mention that the woman in front of her has also followed the man she loves.
……
After the long storm had passed, the bright sun was shining again in the blue sky, and the deck of the Orc was busy, some of the crew were washing the deck, some were manipulating the sails, and some were checking the course, and the bustle of each job did not last long, as Pross stepped out of the cabin with a heavy face, and prepared to announce a great event.
"Ladies and gentlemen, at the request of our employers, our course will change."
For a moment, the crew on the deck gathered in front of GLP and whispered to each other, many of whom were impetuous and asked loudly.
"Captain, where is the destination of the new course?"
"That's exactly what I'm going to say." GLP said in a deep voice: "Everyone, I heard clearly, this time our new course is determined to be in Monteres. ”
"Monteres?!"
Suddenly, some of the crew members screamed as if they had exploded.
"Captain! You can't be mistaken, can you?! That's Monteres! The famous pirate capital of the West Coast continent! ”
"What? The capital of pirates? Sounds scary! ”
"I've never been to the West Coast! What is it about Montres that makes all the fuss? ”
Many of the crew members had been to the West Coast continent before, but most of the crew members were a little ignorant, and after some explanations from the other crew members, they knew what kind of place Montreis was, and suddenly they put Montrex in the forbidden place for navigation and made a fuss.
"Captain! You're too daring, aren't you? ”
"Yes, Captain! How dare you agree to such a dangerous job? ”
“……”
Pross remained silent, but listened quietly to the noise of the crew, until they had quieted down, and then he spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand your fear of going to Monteres, and I am also in this mood, but...... Compared to Monteres, do you think it's the danger there or the ship's employers? If we refuse the employer's request, what do you think he will do with us? ”
"Could it be that he dared to kill all of us?" Some crew members said indignantly.
"Yes, if you refuse to go to Monteres, I will indeed kill you all."
It was none other than Xia Lan who said this, it was Xia Lan who came out of the cabin leisurely. (To be continued......)
