Free Web NovelChapter 2033: Chapter 2033: Dangerous Departure! Pass It On! Let Her Watch If She Wants!
"Huff!!"
The sky suddenly darkened, a terrifying pressure descended abruptly, compressing the breath from the people on the ship.
Everyone felt their hearts racing rapidly, then as if an invisible hand squeezed their hearts, threatening to crush them.
In an instant, everyone on the ship realized that the sudden darkness in the sky must be due to the presence of a terrifying sea beast, whose aura had just been leaked!
They dared not breathe heavily, fearing that the sea beast would notice them and smash their sea ship.
That would be the end for them.
In this desperate yet powerless silence.
They waited for over ten seconds, but it felt like decades.
Finally, the pitch-black sky gradually brightened again.
"Woo..."
A strange mournful sound echoed, and everyone peered through the window, seeing a sea beast resembling a whale, terrifyingly long, skimming the surface and flying away.
"Phew..."
With the sea beast’s departure, everyone on the ship suddenly felt relieved, the pressure surrounding them vanished.
Some were so frightened they sunk heavily to the ground like they were paralyzed, filled with post-calamity gratitude.
"That’s terrifying!"
"Was it truly just that sea beast from earlier?"
"After successfully hunting, it turned back!"
"Luckily, we didn’t linger on deck; otherwise, we’d be dead!"
"..."
The group was undeniably terrified, exchanging thoughts with communication talismans, deeply emotional.
Mu Jinyu hadn’t exchanged communication talismans with them, so he didn’t know their thoughts.
After the sea beast left, his immediate reaction was to draw the curtains in his room, not wishing to see the situation outside.
He had forgotten to close the window earlier and was quite afraid of being noticed by the sea beast through the window.
Although the window on this ship was specially made so that only those inside could see out and those outside couldn’t see in.
But he still felt uneasy.
After all, the original introduction mentioned resting on the deck, sea beasts wouldn’t notice them due to the formation.
But didn’t several people just get eaten by the sea beast while standing on deck?
That indicates that these windows aren’t exactly safe.
"Huff Huff..."
The chilly woman was also breathing rapidly in fear, her face pale.
Mu Jinyu said, "Alright, you can stay here, I’m going out for a bit!"
"Why are you going out?" The chilly woman, now afraid, was startled upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, and quickly asked worriedly.
She was worried that Mu Jinyu might suddenly decide to let other passengers into their room!
There were nearly a hundred people, all packed in one room; even if possible, they wouldn’t be able to rest or do anything else.
They’d just be crammed into a corner, which would be very uncomfortable.
Of course, Mu Jinyu didn’t intend to do that; he opened the door while speaking, "Just informing everyone to seal their windows and avoid looking outside at the sea to prevent danger!"
With that, Mu Jinyu quickly left.
"Oh!"
The chilly woman sighed in relief upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s answer.
Being able to stay with Mu Jinyu, a man she found repugnant, already required immense courage; if everyone crowded together, she’d rather return to her own room.
She truly couldn’t endure it otherwise.
Unaware of the woman’s thoughts, Mu Jinyu notified several passengers to draw their curtains and use magic treasures to shield perception if possible.
After informing a few people, Mu Jinyu learned surprisingly that they mostly exchanged communication talismans and were sharing information.
Others assured Mu Jinyu there was no need for him to risk notifying everyone one by one; they would pass the message along.
"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you." Mu Jinyu replied softly.
He exchanged communication talismans with them.
Although he barely knew them, they were fellow humans, and Mu Jinyu believed in offering any assistance possible.
Contributing a tiny part.
After spreading the word.
Many passengers hadn’t closed their curtains, realizing and doing so to minimize danger.
Those who had already taken precautions boasted they had acted beforehand.
They had merely forgotten to inform others.
They assumed everyone would do the same!
Such an attitude naturally irked some.
But Mu Jinyu was indifferent, merely commenting, "Those of you with some ingenuity shouldn’t just focus on self-preservation; it’s not necessary to ignore others’ survival!"
"Sure, in other situations, you might act that way, but here, we are all sharing one ship. If others’ negligence causes issues impacting the entire vessel, would you truly remain unharmed?"
"So, if possible, share ideas and precautions with everyone!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, those passengers realized the danger but had failed to notify others.
It made sense!
They had mistakenly thought Mu Jinyu was overly kind and wondered if it could be exploited.
But the truth was different; Mu Jinyu notified everyone not only for the larger picture but also for his own safety.
Mu Jinyu stopped conversing after saying this, cutting off the communication talisman, returning to his VIP room.
"You’re back? So soon?"
The chilly woman was surprised to see Mu Jinyu return quickly.
With a hundred people on board, she knew that notifying everyone would take time.
He shouldn’t have returned so quickly!
Mu Jinyu nodded lightly, responding, "They communicate via talismans, so after notifying a few people, I asked them to pass the message along, sparing me effort."
"Hmm..." The chilly woman responded briefly, saying nothing more.
Mu Jinyu had nothing else to say to her, and said, "If you want to sleep, the bed is yours; otherwise, it’s up to you!"
With that, Mu Jinyu ignored her, sitting on a meditation cushion to continue inscribing runes, repairing the God Slaying Cannon.
Mu Jinyu didn’t worry about his work being exposed to the woman.
She was unaware of the true nature of the God Slaying Cannon or what he was doing.
She could watch as much as she liked.
The chilly woman genuinely had no clue what Mu Jinyu was doing. After a few glances, she lost interest, then looked at the bed with a complicated expression.
True, she often slept, but she didn’t know if Mu Jinyu or previous passengers had used the bed.
She hesitated before pulling out a large bed carved from Warm Fragrant Soft Jade from her Qiankun Ring.
