Chapter 57: Water Fairy (4)
When Ah Gang heard what Qiangzi said, he was stunned for a moment and tugged at the corner of Qiangzi's clothes: "Didn't you say..."
"Get out! Stop talking nonsense!" Qiangzi glared at Agang fiercely.
Agang lowered his head and stopped talking.
When Li Yuanying saw the looks of the three of them, she understood about 80% of what was going on.
"But where can we find a virgin?" Li Yuanying looked innocent.
Sure enough, Qiangzi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Yuanying and said, "You, you aren't?"
Li Yuanying looked regretful: "I've been married for a long time, and my child is already three months old."
After saying that, Li Yuanying touched her belly and said, "I went to Heishui this time to look for my husband. He has a big business there and is too busy to come, so I had to go find him myself."
"I, I don't care. Since you look like the one, it's you!" Qiangzi pointed at Li Yuanying and shouted.
"You bunch of beasts! She just said she was pregnant!" Master Zhou shouted angrily.
The fifth brother punched Master Zhou again, pinning him to the ground and preventing him from moving.
"Let my husband go!" Mrs. Zhou was angry, but Agang grabbed her hair and she couldn't save her husband.
Li Yuanying knew that these sailors were not up to par, so she went along with their wishes and said, "As long as you don't kill me, I'm fine with it."
"Miss Li, don't agree to them, I..." Master Zhou was about to say something when he was punched by his fifth brother again. His veins bulged with pain and he lay on the ground motionless.
"You bunch of vicious people, you even don't let pregnant women go, you will get retribution!" Mrs. Zhou shared the same hatred against the enemy.
"She has already said that anything is possible. What qualifications do you outsiders have to speak?" Qiangzi kicked Master Zhou in the stomach.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me." Mrs. Zhou became anxious.
"Just let them go." Li Yuanying pretended to be pitiful. "I've already promised you, so don't make things difficult for them. Otherwise, just lock them back in their room and don't let them out."
Qiangzi looked at Agang and his fifth brother and said, "Okay, you two go and lock them up."
A Gang held the woman, and the fifth brother pulled Master Zhou up from the ground. The two of them escorted the Zhou couple into the cabin, one in front and one behind, and locked them in their original room.
When Qiangzi saw Agang and the fifth brother leave, he put on a lewd smile. His eyes fell on Li Yuanying's chest, waist, and legs, and circled around Li Yuanying, getting closer and closer. The sour smell on his body penetrated into Li Yuanying's nostrils, causing her to frown.
Sure enough, Qilang is special, he doesn’t have this strange smell.
"Don't be afraid, little girl." Qiangzi said, continuing to look her up and down, "You don't look like you're three months pregnant."
Li Yuanying pretended to be timid and looked at Qiangzi: "I'm not lying to you, it really exists."
"Since you're pregnant, why doesn't your husband, who's in such a big business, find someone to escort you?"
Li Yuanying was speechless for a moment.
"What's wrong? Can't make it up?"
Seeing that Li Yuanying didn't say anything, Qiangzi's eyes began to shine: "Are you married or not?"
"I'm married. I advise you not to set your sights on me. If my husband finds out, he will definitely tear you to pieces." Li Yuanying said coldly.
"Wow, it's still hard." Qiangzi sneered, "Then I'll let you see today, who is harder, you or me!"
After saying that, Qiangzi rushed directly towards Li Yuanying.
Li Yuanying was shocked. She had lost all her magic power and martial arts skills, and was no match for a strong sailor like Qiangzi.
Qiangzi pulled Li Yuanying over, hugged her, and kissed her on the face.
Li Yuanying secretly cried out in alarm, she wanted to use her magic power, but it was of no use. At this moment, she felt a hot flame rising from her dantian, and the blue flames instantly surrounded her. Qiangzi screamed in pain and let go of her hand.
"Monster, monster! You are actually a monster!" Qiangzi's face turned pale. He stepped back several steps and looked at Li Yuanying with lingering fear.
At this time, the fifth brother and Agang also came out of the cabin.
They screamed when they saw Li Yuanying covered in blue flames.
"Monster! This woman is actually a monster!" Ah Gang started to panic. "No wonder they can't die. Is she the same kind as a demon? What should I do, Brother Qiang?"
"Why are you panicking?" Qiangzi yelled. He looked at his arm. Because he had withdrawn a little slowly just now, the inside of his arm was already burned and blistered.
"Brother Qiang, what should we do?" Agang lost his backbone.
"Let's go!" Qiangzi yelled at Agang and his fifth brother. They went to the captain's room, not knowing what they were plotting.
Li Yuanying calmed down and the blue flames on her body disappeared.
It seems that Qilang came here at night because he was worried that he would be in danger without his magic power, so he left the demon pill to himself.
So what should he do...
Li Yuanying suddenly became a little worried.
She looked at the vast river. It was still some time before the Black Water. The boat that had been following them had disappeared at some point.
Tonight, we must subdue these sailors, otherwise there will be more trouble later.
Li Yuanying returned to the cabin. The Zhou couple were locked in the room. They were in the third room, and there was a lock hanging on it. If Li Yuanying wanted to open the lock, she had to go to Qiangzi and others in the captain's room to get the key, but now she was not sure that she could defeat the three of them, so she did not want to take any risks.
Li Yuanying knocked on the door and someone answered from inside. It was Mrs. Zhou.
"who?"
"It's me."
"Miss Li? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry. Madam Zhou, I have a question. Actually, when Ling Yao activates a skill, it's not targeted at one person, but everyone, right?"
Mrs. Zhou seemed to pause for a moment before answering, "Miss Li is indeed smart. You are right, but not entirely."
The reason why Li Yuanying thought so was because she found that there was such a loud noise outside the door last night, but the embroiderer and the others seemed not to hear it.
She began to wonder if Ling Yao had isolated her from the space where Xiu Niang and Shiwu were staying. However, in the end, it wasn't her who died, but someone else.
Li Yuanying wondered if the Ling Yao had cast a spell on everyone, isolating them in different parallel dimensions. The captain's dimension was the death dimension, so he was the only one who died.
"Mrs. Zhou, can you tell me what you know?"
A piece of white paper was passed out from the crack in the door.
This was the same white paper Li Yuanying had seen last night. It looked ordinary, just like ordinary rice paper.
"Miss Li, Ling Yao's magic is actually a spatial magic. For example, she will open as many spaces as there are people on the ship, isolating everyone in separate spaces. So, what you said about Ling Yao's magic affecting everyone is correct."
"However, in all the spaces, only one is the true main body. Only the people in the space where the main body appears can be killed by the lock-on skill. Therefore, it can also be said that her skills do not work on everyone."
Li Yuanying nodded, and then she heard Mrs. Zhou's voice continue.
"The paper I just gave you is to help you move through space. If you believe that the Ling Yao in the illusion you are currently in is the real one, use a talisman and you will be able to travel to another adjacent space."
"We only brought five tickets in total. We used one on the first and second nights. Now we're giving you one and we're keeping two for ourselves."
"How many people can a piece of paper carry through space changes?" Li Yuanying asked.
“Everyone who is in the same space can change at the same time.”
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou."
"You're welcome, Miss Li. Good luck to you."
He was indeed a hermit, possessing a spell that could transform spatial positions within a spell. Li Yuanying put away the inconspicuous piece of white paper and prepared to go find Xiu Niang and Shiwu.
She pushed open the door and saw the embroiderer leisurely eating melon seeds with Shiwu.
"You two seem quite leisurely."
The embroiderer smiled and said, "Miss Li, you have the demon pill now, so why are you afraid of that demon? You don't have to worry about Shiwu and me either. We are not human, and we have never stolen anything from her. She can't do anything to us."
"Yes, she can't do anything to us, but if all the crew members die, we won't be able to reach Blackwater." Li Yuanying sat on her bed.
"So what do you want to do?"
"Leave at least one."
The embroiderer glanced at Li Yuanying with a cryptic smile on her face: "Which one should I keep? Choose between gold and silver. Who has such overwhelming wealth and can live like a dog?"
Li Yuanying lowered her head and said nothing.
"Anyway, there are still three of them. There's no need for you to worry now, right? Wait until two days later, when only one of them is left, and then we can think of a solution." said the embroiderer.
"Embroiderer, do you know what injustice Ling Yao suffered?" Li Yuanying looked at the embroiderer, staring into her eyes.
The embroiderer was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away: "I don't know her, don't ask me."
"Xiuniang, I've heard from my father before that Ling Yao was an immortal who was wronged and banished to the mortal world. He turned into a monster because of his heavy resentment. You were also a god before. You two should know each other, right?" Li Yuanying revealed her cards.
The embroiderer shook her head. "Her story is really a bit complicated. Why are you asking this?"
"I think maybe we should solve this problem at the source."
The embroiderer was startled, then laughed: "What do you mean? Do you still want to clear Ling Yao of his charges?"
The embroiderer seemed to have heard a huge joke and she started laughing so hard that she fell over.
Li Yuanying just looked at the embroiderer quietly, staring at her until she stopped smiling and became serious.
"The gods can't even take care of their own affairs, so what do you, a mere human, want to do?" The embroiderer snorted.
"I can't interfere in the affairs of gods, but she is doing evil in the human territory, so I will take care of this matter," said Li Yuanying.
The embroiderer pursed her lips and sighed, "Your bold words sound so familiar, but guess what happened to the person who said them?"
Li Yuanying looked indifferently at the embroiderer who had remained indifferent from the beginning to the end: "Embroiderer, I think that the reason no one paid homage to you before was not because they were greedy, nor because they were ungrateful."
When the embroiderer heard this, she felt as if something had touched her reverse scale. Suddenly, murderous intent flashed in her eyes: "What do you mean?"
"It's because of your selfishness and your inaction." Li Yuanying uttered these words slowly.
