at night.
The cat dived into the water alone and swam familiarly towards the location of the sunken ship.
She was indeed going to return after daybreak, but she didn't know what the connection was between this ship and the Eight Gates Secret Technique, and there were other things that felt very strange to her. She was unwilling to go back just like that if she didn't figure them out.
Therefore, she had already made this decision when she agreed to Professor Gu's request.
She didn't even bring Bai Jiang with her, because she was afraid of an accident like what happened to Yamashita and the others today, and she couldn't guarantee that she could save Bai Jiang.
Underwater at night is very dangerous; visibility is significantly worse than during the day.
After the cat sneaked into the cabin, it went straight to the cargo hold. There were many small fish swimming leisurely at the entrance, making it seem as if the sea below was calm and peaceful.
The black cat lingered at the entrance, displaying the same excitement it had during the day, seemingly eager to go down immediately.
The cat caught it and swam over first.
She had just gone down and was about to swim deeper when suddenly someone grabbed one of her feet! Then she was easily pulled out!
The cat shone its flashlight, illuminating the tiny dust particles in the water and also revealing that exceptionally indifferent face.
His soft, short hair floated in the water, revealing his features clearly. Several glistening bubbles rested on his thick eyelashes. His gaze swept over with a mixture of innocence and desire.
The cat's infatuation with his appearance actually outweighed her curiosity about his presence here.
"Jiu Maomao, do you really enjoy stealing in the middle of the night?" Mu Jin asked.
The cat slowly smiled, quickly reaching out to touch Mu Jin's face. It felt so tender, like you could squeeze water out of it. "Ah Jin, I learned from you. Don't you always like to do things in the middle of the night?"
Mu Jin glanced at her and said, "Your ability to make excuses is getting better and better. You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you? You sent Shan Xiazhi and the others down today so that they could scout ahead."
Since Mu Jin had already discovered it, Maomao naturally knew when to back down. She whispered, "I didn't force them. They were the ones who were in a hurry to go down."
They were also eager to die...
Mu Jin didn't pursue the matter further; clearly, he hadn't come along for that reason. He said, "Let's go, don't just stand there."
He wanted to go down with her!
But the cat quickly pulled Mu Jin back.
Although she didn't know how Mu Jin discovered her coming down, she also didn't know what the situation was down there. She didn't dare let him go down and take the risk, so she said with a smile, "Ah Jin, you wait for me here, I'll be out soon."
Mu Jin looked at her, "Why?"
The cat said, "Because... I'm a good swimmer."
Mu Jin said calmly, "I'm better. Then you wait for me here."
As she spoke, Mu Jin was about to leave, seemingly leaving no room for negotiation.
The black cat lingered in an inconspicuous spot, too afraid to approach the kitten. It was quite nervous, being its first time "betraying its own kind"...
The cat still held onto Mu Jin, who frowned slightly.
She went into the water tonight without a diving suit; she used a water-repelling spell.
Mu Jin, being alone at the moment, was naturally unafraid of being seen by others, as she was not a stranger to them.
Cat felt she should trust Mu Jin, but she was also afraid that something might happen that she couldn't control, so she changed her mind at the last minute, "Hehe, Mu Jin, how about we go back?"
Mu Jin turned around and shone his flashlight on the cat.
Those clear, bright eyes blinked slightly.
Mu Jin pinched her cheek. "Didn't you come down here to find out what was going on? What are you going back for now? Will you sneak down here again when I'm not looking?"
The cat's face stung a little from being pinched. She rubbed her face and said, "I'm not that kind of person."
Mu Jin raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing it.
Seeing Mu Jin looking at her like that, Maomao hesitated for a moment, but finally decided, "Alright then! Ah Jin, let's go down together, but you have to stay close to me."
Mu Jin asked, "Can't you stay close to me?"
The cat said, "Okay!"
As she spoke, the cat went up and hugged Mu Jin's waist.
Although she couldn't feel any weight in the water, Mu Jin still said speechlessly, "What are you doing now?"
The cat innocently said, "I'll stick close to you."
That's following too closely!
However, Mu Jin did not manage to get her down; instead, he slowly sneaked into the warehouse.
It seemed very peaceful here, with a kind of secluded tranquility. Where Mu Jin's flashlight shone, small schools of fish could be seen swimming slowly.
Suddenly, he looked at an octopus that seemed to be sleeping and said, "Jiu Maomao, don't you look like it?"
Upon seeing this, the cat immediately exclaimed in disgust, "Cats aren't that ugly, and they have so many tentacles!"
Mu Jin chuckled, "You don't have many hands, but you have enough to keep people bothered."
Cat immediately looked at Mu Jin, then suddenly realized, "Ah Jin, are you teasing me?"
Mu Jin remained silent.
Suddenly, the cat let go of him, swam to his side, looked at Mu Jin carefully, and then reached out and poked his face. "Ah Jin, you look so beautiful when you smile."
Mu Jin grabbed the hand that was always restless and asked, "Jiu Maomao, do you really like touching other people?"
Cat replied very seriously: "That depends on the situation. It depends on how you lay hands on someone. If it's like what just happened, I would only do that to you, Ah Jin. If it's someone else, it depends on the situation. It's more satisfying to just beat someone I hate. As for ordinary people, well, that's not the case."
Ordinary people wouldn't even catch her eye.
Mu Jin actually listened to the whole thing, but he only said one sentence: "Someone like me can't be called good-looking."
The cat said, "If you can't be considered pretty like this, then what can be considered pretty?"
Mu Jin suddenly lifted the cat's chin, gently pinched it with her fingers, and looked it over from side to side. "Like this."
The cat paused for a moment, then burst out laughing. "Ah Jin, are you teasing me?"
Mu Jin moved the flashlight away and his hand away from the cat's face. He didn't say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed.
Seeing Mu Jin swim away, the cat immediately followed, feeling extremely happy.
The black cat followed nearby, sometimes leading the way, sometimes following behind the two, always feeling superfluous, thinking how sweet it was that its master and Jin Shen were together.
Suddenly, the black cat became alert, and its small figure darted out, leaving a trail of afterimages in the water!
It stood in front of the cat and Jin Shen, its fur standing on end, as if to warn them, "Meow!"
Cat quickly pulled Mu Jin back, saying seriously, "Ah Jin, don't go over there."
Mu Jin stopped, raised her flashlight and shone it forward, but there seemed to be nothing unusual.
They landed at the bottom of the warehouse, in front of which was a damaged, dark hole with a very inconspicuous vortex.
