Chapter Fourteen: No Water



“Finding the person is your business. Besides, there has only been one person in history with plant-based abilities, and that person died 500 years ago,” Su said, pausing for a moment. “So, instead of looking for a vague hope, we should think of other ways.”

Upon hearing this, the person on the other end fell silent.

"Tell me, what other methods are there?"

"Using my mental power to unleash my special ability, I'll give it my all." Su lowered his eyes and said calmly, not taking it seriously at all, as if he were talking about what to eat tomorrow.

However, the other side firmly refused, saying, "No, if you really fight like that, you'll lose your life!"

"If it's gone, it's gone," Su chuckled indifferently. "Some lives are as light as a feather, while others are as heavy as Mount Tai."

"Are you kidding me?" The man opposite was clearly angry. His words were no longer gentle, and his voice was as cold and hard as iron, sending a chill down one's spine.

"Anyway, I've already found a successor, so I'm not going to say anything more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su hung up the communicator, completely disregarding how frantic the person on the other end was.

He turned on the live stream device and reverted to his former appearance as a thin, young boy. He slowly walked into the cave and lay down to rest in his own little corner.

In the afternoon, Mu Qingyun finally recovered and opened her eyes to look at the sky outside the cave.

"You're awake?"

Su had been watching her closely, and as soon as she saw her open her eyes, she immediately came over.

"Hmm," she replied faintly.

"What are we going to do? Our water supply won't last more than a few days." From the cave, Xiong Ruoyou seemed to be talking to the people in the live stream. "Do you have any ideas on how to find water?"

There's no water?

Mu Qingyun raised an eyebrow and turned to look at Su, "You don't have water-based abilities, so you can't purify?"

"My purification ability is not pure. The water I purify is not enough to drink. I can only purify slightly polluted seawater into unpolluted seawater." Su pouted and lowered her head guiltily.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun remained silent for a while, then raised her chin and asked, "Do you have any pots on you?"

When asked this question out of the blue, Su Zhen thought about it seriously for a moment, "I don't have a pot, but I have a kind of clay metal."

Clay metal?

She recognized the two words separately, but she had never heard of them together.

"What?" She stared in confusion at what Su had taken out of the storage bag.

It was a gray, oval-shaped piece of metal. Knowing she didn't know how to use it, Su demonstrated for her how to shape the metal into a pot-like shape.

"It can be kneaded not only into a pot, but also into all sorts of other things," Su explained, while kneading the pot into another shape. "Metal is heat-resistant, so it won't break no matter how high the temperature."

It's quite a fascinating thing.

She reached out and took the clay metal, holding it in her hand.

"Come on, let's boil some water."

"But even if you boil water, you can't drink it, right?" Su tilted her head in confusion.

On their planet, ordinary water, even after boiling, is undrinkable. It must be purified by a water-powered individual with high purity or refined using advanced technology before it can be consumed.

"You can purify polluted water into seawater?" Mu Qingyun stood up and patted the dust off her clothes.

"Yes, but it's not very useful. You can't drink seawater directly," Su explained earnestly.

"That's enough."

Mu Qingyun didn't say much, and started walking towards the seaside. Seeing this, Su hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and followed closely behind her.

[Is this guy crazy? Su made it so clear, and he still wants to boil water to drink.]

[Exactly! Without high-tech purification, what's the point of evaporating the water?]

[Foolish, so incredibly foolish! He won't die from drinking seawater, will he?]

It's a pity that despite his great abilities, he remains simple-minded.

[However, to be fair, this Su is a bit too weak. Water-based abilities aren't very strong offensively; they mainly rely on purification abilities, yet this guy can't even purify water.]

[Seriously, our princess can purify twenty square meters of water in one go!]

[Wait, let me interrupt. How can water-based abilities be considered weak in attack? Our First Commander is a water-based ability user, and he wields water with unparalleled skill.]

[Upstairs, don't drag the First Commander into this. Is he even human? He's a god! Tell me, besides him, who else could use water-based abilities to take on ten people with extremely strong earth-based abilities and still achieve a crushing victory?]

[Seriously, don't drag our First Commander into this!]

...

"Are you really going to boil the seawater?"

Reaching the shore, Su asked again, uncertainly.

Even if the seawater is not polluted, it will still be poisonous when boiled. They would not go so far as to drink poison themselves.

Mu Qingyun did not answer Su's question.

Anyway, no matter what I say now, no one will believe me. Let's wait until it's done before we talk about it. The truth is often more convincing than words.

However, before Mu Qingyun could even start operating, she heard the voice of an "old acquaintance" behind her.

"Your Highness, it's so nice to be on your team. We get to drink pure water!" It was Bai Feifei's voice.

"Your Highness, that mermaid is so ungrateful. We asked him to come along, but he refused." A strange male voice said, probably from Mu Xueyao's team.

"Fine, don't come if you don't want to. Who can stand his spoiled brat attitude?" Bai Feifei snorted and complained unhappily.

As they drew nearer, Mu Qingyun and Su turned around almost simultaneously, their faces coming directly into view of Mu Xueyao and the others.

My goodness, their luck is unbelievable! How do they always seem to run into each other? They've only been here a few days, and they've already bumped into each other so many times.

The treetop where Her Highness sleeps is not far from here, and Mu Qingyun's cave is also very close. Anyone looking for water will come here; there's no question of luck.

[Treetops? I haven't had time to watch His Highness's livestream. How come His Highness is sleeping in the treetops?]

"Well, we can't find anywhere else."

What happens when it rains? How do the treetops take shelter from the rain?

[Isn't there an energy umbrella? Your Highness has a very large umbrella; when it rains, you can put it on your head to avoid the rain.]

[Um, there's something I'm hesitant to say, but Your Highness is really suffering.]

[Stop talking, my heart aches for my precious baby. The life of an imperial princess is so good, why did she have to participate in this military academy trial?]

【Hey, upstairs, didn't you know? His Highness greatly admires the First Commander and hopes to fight alongside him in the future.】

Wow, I'm totally shipping them! They're such a perfect match, both handsome and beautiful.

[What pairing? The First Commander is my husband. Stop trying to create this cult-like couple. Our First Commander and your princess don't even know each other.]

[Exactly, stop pairing them up. They're both excellent people; let them enjoy their own happiness and not invite criticism.]
