Chapter 204 A Taoist Should Act Like a Taoist
Nan Ci glanced at Mu Qianqian with a smile, "Did he fall asleep as soon as he touched the bed?"
If not for this, Mu Qianqian wouldn't have been able to come down so quickly.
Mu Qianqian shook her head, "No, I knocked him out."
"???"
Mu Qianqian said as if it was a matter of course, "You all know that he likes to worry about things that are beyond his control. Even if he promised us to go back and have a good rest, he would definitely not sleep well when he returned because no one would be watching him. He might even stand by the window and stare outside.
In order to prevent him from pretending to obey and to allow him to have a good rest, I had no choice but to knock him out.
Come to think of it, I feel like I have a lot more strength than before.
I hit him with the force I was used to, but it was obviously too much, and I don’t know how long he would sleep.”
When saying this, there was only curiosity on Mu Qianqian's face, but not the slightest regret.
Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest looked at each other, both of them looked helpless.
They felt helpless but also found it a little funny.
But generally speaking, there is really nothing wrong with Mu Qianqian doing this.
In the current situation, every night may be full of dangers, and it is not the time to be a hero.
Get enough rest and keep your mental and physical strength at peak condition so that you can better protect yourself and not hold others back.
"Well, since he has been knocked unconscious by you, let him have a good rest."
Nan Ci said, looking at Mu Qianqian with concern, "How do you feel now? It's been more than eight hours since you came out of the water."
"I'm fine! I'm fine!"
Mu Qianqian's mental state was visibly better, her eyes were bright, her face was rosy, and even her fish scales were no longer visible.
She was in such good condition that Nan Ci even began to doubt herself, wondering if her previous guesses were wrong.
Although he had some self-doubts in his heart, Nan Ci soon had no time to worry about them.
Because as the sky got completely dark and the evening breeze blew, some fish jumped out of the water.
Fish of all sizes began to rush toward the boat, each one brave and fearless.
Even though their companions were ruthlessly killed, they still did not stop rushing towards the boat.
They had a very hard time guarding that night.
The reason is simple: this luxury yacht is a little too big.
The yacht is so big that it is impossible for one person to take care of all aspects.
These fish don't just come to the boat from one direction, but come from all directions.
In order to avoid being attacked from both sides, the three of them could only guard one direction each, with the four cats and the little turtle between them.
In addition to the sharp long knife he had used before, Nan Ci also prepared various hot weapons and had enough bullets.
In other words, they had strong combat effectiveness and sufficient hot weapons, so they held out for the entire night without encountering any problems.
As the eastern sky began to turn pale, the strange fish that had attacked them crazily all night finally dived into the water and soon disappeared completely.
If there weren't some corpses of strange fish floating on the water, and the water surface was dyed red by blood, everything that happened last night would have seemed like a dream.
After fighting all night, even an iron man would be tired.
What's more, Nan Ci and the others are not iron men.
After the strange fish completely disappeared, several people gathered together and sat on the floor without caring whether the deck was dirty or not.
Looking at each other's embarrassed appearance, they laughed at the same time.
As he laughed, Nan Ci noticed Mu Qianqian. Sparkling silver scales appeared on her forehead and behind her ears again.
Seeing this, Nan Ci's smile suddenly disappeared, "Qianqian, when did the scales on your body appear? Do you remember?"
Mu Qianqian nodded, "I know, I've been paying attention to it! It appeared around midnight, but I'm still in good spirits."
Hearing this, Nan Ci estimated in his mind and said, "You came out of the water at twelve o'clock noon, and the scales appeared at twelve o'clock in the evening.
That is to say, if you stay out of the water for twelve hours without getting any sun, you won’t get scales on your body.”
Mu Qianqian nodded, "Based on the current situation, it should be like this."
The old Taoist priest also said, "We have only tested it once, so we cannot be completely sure. Let's wait and see today. If it is still the same, then we can be sure."
“Once we’ve determined that, we can try to see how long it will take for the scales to show up when exposed to the sun.
Once we have figured this out, we can head northwest without having to worry about encountering other survivors."
Now that they have such ships, it is actually very easy for them to go to the northwest, and they can arrive there in no time.
The reason why he was not in a hurry to travel was that he was worried that he didn't know Mu Qianqian's physical condition well enough, and if he met other survivors, he would be exposed accidentally and it would bring danger to Mu Qianqian.
Mu Qianqian knew that this was all for her own good and agreed immediately.
"I'm still in good spirits now. Taoist priest, Nan Ci, you go take a shower and change your clothes. I'll watch over you here!" Mu Qianqian said.
Nan Ci shook his head, "Qianqian, you and the Taoist priest go first. When you come back after changing your clothes, you can go back to the swimming pool to rest and recover. I will go wash up then."
Mu Qianqian thought about it and felt that what Nan Ci said made sense, so she stopped arguing and went upstairs with the old Taoist priest.
After watching them go upstairs, Nan Ci was not idle either. Taking advantage of the convenience of getting water in the space, Nan Ci washed the deck.
As the blood was washed away, the smell of blood gradually dissipated.
Just over ten minutes later, the old Taoist priest came back with his hair still damp.
The old Taoist priest had very long hair, which he always kept pinned on top of his head with a hairpin.
I have never seen it so wet and loose like it is now.
Looking at the old Taoist's shoulder-length hair, Nan Ci was a little curious, "Master, it was inconvenient to wash before, why didn't you cut your hair short or shave it?"
The old Taoist priest lazily lay down on the recliner and said, "How can that be possible? A Taoist priest should look like a Taoist priest! No matter what time, you must pay attention to your image.
Besides, if it's hard to wash, then don't wash it. It's not a big deal."
After listening to the old Taoist priest's answer, Nan Ci was speechless.
Cutting your hair short or shaving it off means you don't care about your image.
If you don’t wash your dirty hair, does that mean you don’t care about your image?
However, Nan Ci just thought about it in his mind and did not say these words out loud.
There was only one Taoist priest on the boat, the old one, so of course what he said was what counted.
Just as I was silent, I saw Mu Qianqian coming over.
In just a short while, the scales on Mu Qianqian's body had become much darker.
