Free Web NovelChapter 2035: Chapter 2035: Banquet Invitation! Accepting It! Concealing Her True Identity!
"I am not playing deaf and dumb!"
Mu Jinyu heard Wang Qingxue’s slightly awkward complaint and shook his head, saying, "I honestly didn’t have time to respond to you!"
As he spoke, he added, "Actually, you should feel grateful that my temper isn’t too bad, or else I’d have thrown you into the Forbidden Dead Sea for constantly nagging beside me!"
Wang Qingxue lowered her head in embarrassment and apologized, "Sorry, my apologies!"
She truly didn’t mean to deliberately disturb Mu Jinyu.
She was just too bored and constantly saw Mu Jinyu engraving runes and repairing the God Slaying Cannon, thinking he didn’t need to waste his time like that.
Unable to hold back, she suggested giving him a Creation Divine Weapon so that he wouldn’t waste time.
Afterward, Mu Jinyu continued his actions without concern for her, and Wang Qingxue, seeing that she seemingly hadn’t disturbed him, gradually gathered courage to keep talking to him.
Otherwise, if she felt she was actually bothering Mu Jinyu, she wouldn’t have continued speaking to disrupt him!
"Yes, I know you didn’t mean it, otherwise I’d have thrown you out by now!" Mu Jinyu replied casually.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
At that moment, his door was knocked.
Mu Jinyu continued engraving runes to repair the God Slaying Cannon and said to Wang Qingxue, "Go open the door!"
He had just used Divine Sense to scan outside the room and saw that the knocker was a man who had been seeking him out in the past few days.
Previously, he didn’t have the time to deal with him, but since the repair of the God Slaying Cannon was almost complete, he could check what the man wanted.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu’s words, Wang Qingxue immediately responded and then went to open the door.
"Creak!"
The door opened, and the middle-aged man outside saw that it was Wang Qingxue who opened the door, and he was momentarily stunned.
He hadn’t expected this girl to be in Mu Jinyu’s room.
Perhaps the two had temporarily hooked up during the voyage?
The possibility wasn’t low!
During sea voyages, such things often happened.
In their group, quite a few men and women had hooked up.
However, it was usually temporary, and once everyone reached the Central Domain, they would generally separate.
Still, Mu Jinyu paid for triple the price and lived in a VIP room; how could he hook up with a woman of such looks?
In everyone’s eyes, Wang Qingxue’s appearance was average, her temperament decent, ranking low in quality compared to other women on the ship!
In his impression, several attractive women had wanted to approach Mu Jinyu, yet he hadn’t accepted their advances!
So the man genuinely couldn’t understand why Mu Jinyu chose Wang Qingxue?
Could it be that he had peculiar taste?
These thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn’t show them on his face, asking softly, "Friend Mu should be inside, right?"
Wang Qingxue nodded, saying, "Yes."
Her tone was still rather cold and concise.
The man expressed his intention, "I’m here to invite Friend Mu to join the evening banquet to celebrate us nearing the Central Domain to start our new lives!"
While engraving runes, Mu Jinyu responded, "Isn’t it a bit early? We’re still a while away from the Central Domain; no need to celebrate so soon, right?"
The man laughed, "We’re only five or six days away from the Central Domain, and we’ve passed the scariest part of the sea; no more worries about unexpected incidents!"
"Let’s gather?" he further suggested, "It’s rare that we survived and later in the Central Domain, everyone might not meet again. Since we’re fortunate enough to be on the same ship, why reject?"
Mu Jinyu pondered and then said, "So it’s tonight? Sure, I’ll take a look then!"
"Indeed." The man looked pleased, nodded, and then invited Wang Qingxue, "Fellow Wang, would you like to come as well?"
Wang Qingxue hesitated upon hearing this.
She wasn’t intentionally acting aloof.
But she was rather displeased right now.
Clearly, she opened the door and the man first saw her, but he didn’t invite her, ignoring her, and invited Mu Jinyu first.
After Mu Jinyu accepted, he came to ask her opinion.
It felt as though she was just an afterthought.
Moreover, she felt that if she weren’t staying with Mu Jinyu, the man probably wouldn’t have invited her.
So she was somewhat reluctant to attend this so-called banquet!
Yet...
Over a month, she had been cooped up in the room with Mu Jinyu not speaking to her, leaving her truly bored.
Finally having the chance to be with others, she didn’t want to continue sulking.
"Alright!"
Eventually, Wang Qingxue agreed.
The man casually nodded upon seeing this and then took his leave.
He showed no sign of delight.
Clearly, in his view, Wang Qingxue’s agreement was irrelevant.
This made Wang Qingxue grit her teeth in frustration, silently cursing the shallow men!
Mu Jinyu continued engraving runes, noticing Wang Qingxue’s expression, laughed softly, and said casually, "If you mind that much, why conceal your identity?"
"Reveal your true appearance, and they would be revolving around you!"
"You’re disguising yourself and getting upset when others don’t notice you, really no need!"
Wang Qingxue was shocked by Mu Jinyu’s words, her face froze, "What are you saying? I... I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"
Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, "It’s nothing, if you don’t understand, that’s fine..."
After that, he didn’t continue the conversation, focusing on engraving runes and repairing the God Slaying Cannon.
He planned to seize the momentum and completely repair the God Slaying Cannon by tonight!
Seeing that Mu Jinyu ignored her, Wang Qingxue felt an uncontrollable wave of disappointment and anxiety.
In her heart, she murmured, "It doesn’t make sense, how did he see through my disguise?"
"But this isn’t disguising, it’s real Strange Arts that transformed me, altering my root bone; people can’t see through my current appearance isn’t my true face!"
"How could he notice?"
"If he hadn’t figured it out, why would he say that just now?"
Wang Qingxue was troubled and conflicted!
Indeed, her seemingly ordinary appearance wasn’t her true face; her real face was extraordinarily beautiful and unmatched.
Yet, to conceal her identity, she employed Strange Arts to fundamentally change her appearance.
Even expert masters of disguising couldn’t see through her altered appearance.
Only if they could directly see her Soul could they notice the drastic difference between her Soul’s appearance and her physical appearance, realizing it wasn’t her true look.
But Mu Jinyu never saw her Soul!
Moreover, her Sea of Consciousness contained a specialized magic treasure, preventing others from glimpsing her Soul’s appearance.
Yet, if so, why did Mu Jinyu make those remarks to her just now?
Was he aware of something?
Or was it just an offhand remark?
Could it be a test of her?
