Chapter 138 A good cook cannot cook without rice
(Thanks to Sky Realm: Ning Jie for the reward!)
Wang Feng leaned on the white railing of the cruise ship, looking at the clear blue sky, a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"The duck that was about to be caught flew away."
Just now, when his fingertips were about to touch the last restricted area, Jiang Shaoxu suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit.
She frantically covered her swimsuit which was about to slip off, and without even having time to put on her slippers, she fled the swimming pool area barefoot.
"I thought this slutty fox had finally come to her senses, but now she's committing a crime!"
The future at this moment is as solid as iron, but unfortunately the good wife is not around.
The sea breeze blew by, but it couldn't blow away Wang Feng's depression.
Just then, soft footsteps were heard behind me.
"Master, are you okay?"
Wang Feng turned around and saw Mu Tingying standing at the corner of the gangway.
A light yellow chiffon dress was gently lifted by the sea breeze, revealing slender ankles.
"Why are you here?" Wang Feng raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you singing with Nanjue and the others?"
Mu Tingying lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "I just saw Jiang Shaoxu running over in a panic."
Her eyes inadvertently swept across Wang Feng's swimming trunks, "I thought the master might need it."
Wang Feng stared quietly at Mu Tingying in front of him, a subtle ripple appearing in his heart.
Although it is clear that this is the result of "optimization" - every choice she makes is based on him first, and every bit of her loyalty is unreserved.
But at this moment, looking at her eyelashes trembling with nervousness and listening to her concern as soft as a mosquito's whisper, an indescribable sense of satisfaction still spread in my heart.
It's like a cup of warm tea that you unexpectedly get in winter, the temperature is just right to soothe your palms.
Wang Feng lazily leaned back in the lounge chair and hooked his finger at Mu Tingying.
"come over."
Mu Tingying immediately stepped forward obediently, her skirt swaying slightly with her movements.
The moment she stood still, Wang Feng suddenly grabbed her slender wrist and exerted a little force——
“Yeah~”
Mu Tingying fell into Wang Feng's arms unexpectedly.
Wang Feng's palm moved along the lines of Mu Tingying's spine, his movements as skillful as if he was playing a familiar instrument.
When his fingertips climbed up the soft mountain, they accidentally touched a cold metal ring.
"You're still wearing it?" Wang Feng looked at Mu Tingying in surprise.
"This is what the master put on me, so I won't take it off." Mu Tingying whispered.
Wang Feng put his fingertips through the metal buckle and pulled it gently, with a meaningful smile on his face.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Mu Tingying didn't directly answer Wang Feng's question, but instead asked, "Master, do you want me to be exposed or not?"
"Hehehe~"
Wang Feng laughed strangely twice.
"Cook the rice first, good cook!"
Mu Tingying nodded, knelt down next to the lounge chair, and began to help Wang Feng solve his problems.
…
The other side.
"Old Zhao, you picked a bad spot!" Mo Fan tugged at the line impatiently. "It's been three hours, and the float hasn't moved at all."
Zhao Manyan slowly adjusted the angle of his fishing rod. "Why rush? Fishing is like picking up girls. It's all about playing hard to get."
"I'll let you go!" Mo Fan kicked the empty ice bucket. "Who promised the captain this morning that there would be enough seafood for the whole team tonight? Now even the best cook has no rice to cook with. What are we going to eat?"
"Alas, even a good cook cannot cook without rice. As long as there is rice, there are many good cooks to help you cook. Look, what is this?"
Zhao Manyan mysteriously pulled out a crystal bottle from his bosom.
"Magic attractant? Aren't you afraid of attracting the siren?" Mo Fan said in surprise.
"What are you afraid of? We have a high-level wizard on board, and this is just a low-level magic lure. It can only attract slave-level sirens..."
"Besides, it's not like you haven't eaten siren sashimi at Sakura before. It's just a large piece of seafood!" Zhao Manyan said.
Mo Fan touched his chin: "That seems to be the case."
Zhao Manyan pulled out the cork and poured the red liquid in the crystal bottle into the sea.
A moment later, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan started to catch fish. Oh no, it should be Shanghai Monster.
…
…
Three days passed in a blink of an eye and the cruise ship was about to arrive at the port of Tinoaia in Portugal.
This city built on the sea is known as the Pearl of the Atlantic and is a well-known hunter capital.
Countless hunters eager to explore ocean treasures gather here and spend money like water.
Casinos with flashing neon lights, lounges full of all-night revelry, arenas filled with magicians. The atmosphere of decadence and extravagance permeates every corner of the city.
As the cruise ship slowly entered the port, a huge, eerie skeleton was fully revealed to everyone.
The pale bones shone with a cold luster in the sunlight, and the curvature of each rib was higher than the hull.
"What the hell is this!" Zhao Manyan gasped and unconsciously took a step back.
Jiang Yu's fingers trembled slightly, and the pupils behind his glasses contracted violently. "Sea Mammoths. Their upper bodies resemble ancient elephants, while their lower bodies resemble whales. They usually inhabit the deep sea and are gentle sea monsters who rarely attack humans."
Nanjue frowned and examined the skeleton carefully. "Strange. The bones are so well preserved, but the skin, flesh and internal organs are completely gone."
"The density of the bones is also abnormal. It can actually float, just like a ship!" Jiang Shaoxu added.
"Why are you bothering so much!" Zu Jiming interrupted impatiently, "Hurry up and finish the National Pavilion Tournament and leave. This damn place is giving me the creeps."
…
On the way to the Portuguese Pavilion, Mo Fan suddenly stopped.
"Old Wang, I want to check on that skeleton." He scratched his head, his eyes brightening surprisingly. "You guys are enough for the National Pavilion Tournament."
Wang Feng glanced at the crowd and noticed that Jiang Shaoxu was secretly glancing towards the port. Mu Ningxue and Nan Jue also had thoughtful expressions.
"Anyone who wants to go can go, I'm the only one in the National Pavilion." Wang Feng waved his hand and said.
The challenge of the National Pavilion is naturally no surprise.
They easily defeated the Portuguese pavilion and won the challenge chapter.
…
In the evening, when everyone returned to the team one after another, Wang Feng noticed that Mu Ningxue's face was unusually pale.
After dinner, Wang Feng took Mu Ningxue to the hotel rooftop. The night breeze rustled her long hair, and her profile looked particularly cold in the moonlight.
"Ning Xue, what happened?" Wang Feng asked softly.
Mu Ningxue took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, "It's the Drowning Curse."
Mu Ningxue told Wang Feng about the first time she saw the drowning curse in the Sakura Sea Battle City, and how she saw another drowning curse not far from the harbor just after she left the team.
Hearing this, Wang Feng tapped lightly on the railing of the rooftop with his fingertips.
He still remembered what the drowning curse was.
Parasitic demon—evil maggot!
This fragile demon, which dies as soon as it leaves the water, possesses the terrifying ability to kill strong people.
The huge skeleton of the sea mammoth in the port was probably hollowed out from the inside by these tiny demons, and eventually became nutrients for their growth.
Wang Feng naturally remembered the solution, but he was not happy to be a babysitter for the evil maggots!
Especially since the bounty pool for [Drowning Curse] is only 300 million.
"Don't worry, Ningxue. The drowning curse is not scary. Leave it to me." Wang Feng said while gently stroking Mu Ningxue's cheek.
