"Well..."

"Hello! Please come in! Please come in!"

Upon hearing the other party announce their name, Yun Man immediately adopted a respectful demeanor, bowing to Luo Lin as well, gesturing for her to come in and sit down first.

"Thanks..."

As soon as Rowling looked up, she was stunned by the sight inside the building.

Red string!

A dense array of red ropes bound all the boat girls together!

They used a red rope to make it look like they were being imprisoned, with almost four or five of them wrapped up.

"you..."

"You guys..."

Rowling's face turned pale with shock!

(No way?)

(They're having such a fancy time at the Yunlong King's Tower!)

Her lips twitched uncontrollably.

Bai Huanhuan and the others, feeling embarrassed by Luo Lin's gaze, put away the red rope.

"Cough cough cough..."

Without much explanation, both groups of people tacitly and awkwardly entered the house.

"Well..."

"Excuse me, what do you mean by 'studying'?"

Yunman poured a cup of tea and asked respectfully.

Rowling smiled faintly: "Literally! I will give Young Master Zheng a temporary contract, and he will have temporary access to pilot me. As his temporary combat force, I think my SS-rank should be sufficient!"

"Therefore... in return, I will systematically learn Young Master Zheng's shipkeeping skills..."

"That's why I came..."

Rowling openly stated her purpose and smiled as she looked at everyone.

"Why?"

"Sister Qinghan, this person is just like you..."

Bai Huanhuan muttered something casually, but Jian Qinghan narrowed his eyes.

Something's not right!

The woman in front of him was not like him at all!

He genuinely wanted to learn boating skills and was passionate about competition. But she... although she was also there to learn, she reeked of greed and a lust for profit...

"......"

"Zheng Hao is still in the match, right... If you don't mind, I can wait here, okay?"

Rowling took a seat in the front row on the right side of the living room without a second thought, seemingly treating herself as the lady of the house, which angered some of the [Fire Cloud Ship Girls] who dared not speak out.

after all!

This is an SS-class ship girl, and she's from the Pluto's side.

I thought Rowling would take over this place...

Unexpected!

"mind!"

"I mind it very much!"

Suddenly!

Outside the Cloud Dragon King Tower, a female voice rang out again!

"Why?"

Following the sound, a stylishly dressed girl with colorful pigtails hanging over her shoulders was staring intently into the house.

I said...

"Is it possible that I am the distinguished guest at [Yunlong King's Tower] today?"

Quinn Rum unzipped her leather jacket, revealing a black mesh bra underneath, and strode in with a very cool and confident air. Without waiting for anyone's permission, she took the seat of honor on the left side of the hall.

"May I ask who you are?"

Yunman was completely bewildered.

Why are the boat girls always being forced to do things like this?

"The Quinn Rum family of the [Quinn Trick Ship] clan, a family that once achieved third place in the World Championship!"

"Our family has been paying close attention to Zheng Hao's emergence."

"I can guarantee... among the many families who have high hopes for Zheng Hao, our [Quinn] family is absolutely the highest quality and best-treated family! I've already spoken to [Cloud Dragon King] about this!"

"If nothing unexpected happens..."

"After the match, I will sign a temporary contract with Zheng Hao!"

As Rum spoke, he silently crossed his long, thin fishnet stockings over his knees and looked at Rowling with a defiant gaze.

In an instant, their eyes met, and the air was thick with tension!

"The [Trick Ship] family?"

"hiss..."

"Another [SS-rank ship girl family]..."

"No wonder no one's been bothering the young master these past few days; turns out he was squeezed out by a more powerful force..."

Yunman watched the standoff between the two "ship girls" quietly, not daring to make a sound.

【SS-class ship girls】are rare finds everywhere.

Two more at once?

I reckon only the young master of the family has this ability.

The fragrance of flowers naturally attracts butterflies.

Do you think... Zheng Hao will really choose you?

Rowling sat upright, her hands folded on her lap, exuding the air of a well-mannered young lady. Even when she spoke up to question him, she maintained a timid and submissive demeanor.

"Tsk..."

"Our family can send our ship girls to accompany Zheng Hao without even 'visiting' him. Can your family do that?"

Rum chuckled, and Rowling frowned but didn't say anything more.

"I...I have something to do..."

"I'm going back to my room now..."

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the living room, Bai Huanhuan silently backed away, and the red rope in her hand fell to the ground again.

The group of [Fire Cloud Ship Girls] also listlessly put down the red rope and left the living room.

"oh?"

"Red string?"

(Is the Yunlong King Tower really that exciting?)

(If I had known, I would have come earlier...)

Looking at the red rope and the marks on the boatwomen's bodies, a hint of regret was clearly in Rum's eyes...

......

【Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain - Team Competition - Forest Area】.

"sieve--"

"Rustling sound—"

Unlike the previous windy area, this place was eerily quiet.
