Free Web NovelChapter 2053: Chapter 2053: Why Are You Here Too? Why No Light? Nothing Here!
When Mu Jinyu heard what Wang Qingxue said, he immediately understood what she was thinking—so she was scared herself!
So Mu Jinyu laughed and said, "In that case, I’ll go in by myself. You don’t have to worry about anything. You stay outside, nothing will happen to you!"
Although Mu Jinyu was bluffed by Ming into going in to see if there was anything, he actually knew that there would definitely be something soon, but it wouldn’t be some ghostly thing.
Otherwise Ming wouldn’t have let him just go in and look around.
If there really were some ghostly things, Ming probably wouldn’t even be able to communicate with him anymore.
So Mu Jinyu wasn’t really scared at all!
"Alright then..."
Seeing that Mu Jinyu truly intended to go in no matter what, Wang Qingxue knew she couldn’t talk him out of it and could only reluctantly agree.
Let him go crazy if he wants.
Then Mu Jinyu said nothing more, turned around, and continued walking toward the cabin!
After Mu Jinyu’s figure disappeared from the deck and was swallowed by the pitch-dark cabin.
Wang Qingxue stood on the deck, looking at the oppressive, inky Underworld Ghost Sea, then at the empty deck...
She felt that after Mu Jinyu left, she was the only one here.
It suddenly felt even scarier.
Like she had been abandoned by the whole world.
It made her feel like she was about to go crazy.
Wang Qingxue gulped with difficulty, then let out a sharp scream and ran toward the cabin while shouting, "Jinyu, don’t go, don’t go, take me with you, I don’t want to stay outside!"
Very soon, Wang Qingxue also ran into the pitch-black, deep cabin, her heart pounding nonstop.
She’d originally been worried that Mu Jinyu might have already gone far.
Or that he’d be swallowed by this cabin and get separated from her, and she wouldn’t be able to find him.
But after she ran into the cabin, she realized that Mu Jinyu actually hadn’t gone very far.
He was just ahead, slowly groping his way forward.
It was only because it was too dark inside, with no light at all, that she hadn’t been able to see clearly from the deck, which gave her the illusion that Mu Jinyu had been eaten by the cabin.
"Why did you come in too?"
Hearing Wang Qingxue’s shout, Mu Jinyu stopped in front, then looked back at her in surprise and asked, "Did something happen outside?"
"No..."
Hearing his question, there was no way Wang Qingxue could admit that she was scared to be alone outside, so she got frightened into running in.
She lowered her head slightly and forced herself to sound calm. "I thought about it and got worried you might encounter danger in here, so I decided to come in and accompany you."
Wang Qingxue was secretly glad that it was so dark here and you couldn’t see clearly, otherwise the burning heat on her face right now would definitely be noticed by Mu Jinyu.
After hearing her explanation, Mu Jinyu felt that it probably wasn’t like that at all, and more like she’d been scared into running in. But seeing how stubborn she was, he teased her anyway:
"Oh? Is that so? But you don’t have to worry, I don’t think there’s any real danger. You can just stay outside."
"No, no, I’ll still go with you..."
Wang Qingxue shook her head again and again. "What if something happens to you inside and you anger some dormant ghostly thing, and I’m outside and don’t know about it? Wouldn’t that be even more dangerous?!"
"If the two of us act together, we’ll at least have more security!"
She tried her best to persuade him.
Mu Jinyu held back a laugh and said, "But I feel like with your strength, you can’t exactly give me any security. On the contrary, you’d just drag me down. It’s better if you stay outside..."
"You...?!"
Hearing that, Wang Qingxue instantly felt both wronged and scared. "You can’t do this to me!"
Seeing that she was on the verge of tears, Mu Jinyu stopped teasing her, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, alright, I’ll stop messing with you. I was just joking. We’ll go together then!"
With that, Mu Jinyu stopped talking, turned around, and continued groping his way forward!
Seeing this, Wang Qingxue quietly wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, glared hatefully at Mu Jinyu’s back, and bit down on her silver teeth.
She’d just been driven half mad with anger by him, and then in the blink of an eye he ignored her again. What a bad guy!
And to think she’d taken such painstaking care of him when he was severely injured and unconscious.
If she’d known he was this kind of person, she should’ve just ignored him back then and let him live or die on his own!
As she fumed like this, she suddenly heard Mu Jinyu’s voice from ahead. "Are you coming or not? If you’re not, I’m going on without you?"
Wang Qingxue came back to herself at that and hurriedly called out, "Ah? Coming, coming!"
Then she quickly rushed forward, half-running to catch up behind Mu Jinyu, following closely at his heels.
Even though she was internally complaining about Mu Jinyu nonstop, Wang Qingxue still trusted him very much.
If she’d come in by herself, she definitely wouldn’t have dared to rush forward like this.
She would have cautiously and slowly felt her way along.
Just in case there were pits.
And if it were someone else walking in front, she might not necessarily trust that person’s character either.
Who knew if they’d discovered some trap ahead and chosen not to clear it, deliberately leaving it there.
Then the people coming after would think the person in front had already passed, so it must be safe, and they’d swagger right through—only to be doomed.
But Mu Jinyu was someone she could feel at ease with.
She believed that if there was danger up ahead, Mu Jinyu would definitely clear it out rather than leave it there to screw her over, which was why she dared to stride up to him.
"Why aren’t you using the Illumination Technique?"
After catching up, Wang Qingxue followed closely behind Mu Jinyu. Seeing how dark and gloomy the cabin was, where you basically couldn’t see anything, she couldn’t help but ask in puzzlement.
As she spoke, she directly moved her hands, wanting to cast an Illumination Technique to brighten up the cabin.
That way, if there was any danger on the road, they could see it in advance.
"Sss!!"
However, the moment Wang Qingxue cast the Illumination Technique...
It immediately went out.
It snuffed out before releasing even the slightest bit of light.
"This..."
Seeing this sudden development, Wang Qingxue was stunned.
Only then did Mu Jinyu speak. "It’s useless. There should be some kind of Restrictions here. They don’t allow any light to appear, and they even interfere with your vision so you can’t see clearly."
Normally, since they’d already Cultivated to the Unity Realm Stage, the Life and Death Realm, even without illumination, their eyesight should still allow them to see everything in the dark.
But here, it was as if they’d really turned into ordinary people without Cultivation, and nearsighted to boot, walking in pitch-blackness and barely able to see anything.
This was why Mu Jinyu had been moving so slowly here.
"I see. No wonder you’ve been groping around in the dark and not lighting anything up..."
Hearing his explanation and feeling her own failed attempt, Wang Qingxue said helplessly.
After that, Mu Jinyu stopped talking and continued feeling his way through the cabin.
After spending half the day.
They finally checked every room in the cabin.
But they didn’t find anything.
They only saw some gray ash, probably the ashes left behind after the former crew died.
After all, not everyone was like that Earth Prince’s Descendant, who could still have a consciousness after being dead for so long, and whose skeleton remained undying and indestructible!
"Ming, where’s the thing you were talking about? How come I didn’t find a single trace of it?"
Mu Jinyu asked Ming irritably.
Upon hearing this, Ming pondered for a moment, then replied, "That’s not right... Hmm... If there really isn’t anything on this ship, then perhaps..."
"He used this ship itself as the bargaining chip to exchange with you for the Earth Emperor Bone Qi?!"
