After entering, Lian Xin pretended to be asleep, but her chest heaved rapidly, as if she had just gotten up.
Mo Qi, assuming she had been outside the door, didn't expose her. He went up and slapped her on the head, waking her.
Lian Xin feigned grogginess and annoyance, "What are you doing? I was sleeping!"
Mo Qi pointed to Qin Xiao, "This girl is sleeping with you. She has no quarrel with you, and you have no enmity with her. Can you get along amicably?"
Lian Xin smiled slyly, "Are you asking for my guarantee? Do you think a guarantee from someone like me is meaningful?" Da Feng Xiao Shuo
Mo Qi shook his head, "If it's meaningless, then I'll have to tie you up."
As he spoke, a thread-like light flowed from Mo Qi's hand.
Lian Xin's expression immediately changed, "I guarantee it. I will never harm her."
"Is your guarantee meaningful?" Mo Qi stopped channeling his spiritual energy and asked sternly.
"It's meaningful, it's meaningful. Although I'm a bad person, I always keep my word."
"Alright, I'll trust you for now," Mo Qi sat back down.
Qin Xiao sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Lian Xin, examining her closely, "Hmm, you are a bit different from before, with more killing intent. Is this really being born as one? How magical, can you tell me how you did it?"
"I'm not in the mood to talk about it," Lian Xin lay down and closed her eyes to sleep.
"Tell me," Qin Xiao lay down beside Lian Xin. "Treat it as telling a story. Everyone likes to tell stories, and I don't think you're an exception."
Lian Xin sat up again and said, "I'm not used to sleeping like this, you sleep on the other end."
Qin Xiao remained still, "If you're not used to it, then you switch. I'm used to sleeping like this."
Lian Xin was speechless, so angry she felt like spitting blood, but she couldn't do anything about her, so she had to endure it and switch to the other end.
As soon as she lay down, Qin Xiao unexpectedly switched back, falling onto the other side.
Lian Xin was furious, sat up with a whoosh, "What exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything, I just want to hear a story," Qin Xiao said with a smile.
"Sigh," Lian Xin sighed, "This story is very simple. He killed me before, but my soul remained. My brother used the soul-transfer technique to move my soul into my sister's body. It's that simple."
"Ah?" Qin Xiao was stunned and looked at Mo Qi, "You're playing with fire! You're letting your enemy live in the same room as you, aren't you courting death?"
Mo Qi rolled his eyes, "What can I do? She's occupying my lover's body. I can't just ignore it, can I? I have to find a way to get her soul out of Xue Ying."
Lian Xin snorted coldly, "There's no way, unless you let Lian Xi die with me."
"Let me ask, who is Lian Xi?" Qin Xiao asked.
"Shut up!" Mo Qi and Lian Xin shouted simultaneously.
Qin Xiao's lips twitched. He went to the other end of the bed and lay down fully clothed.
Unexpectedly, it was quiet until dawn.
When Xue Ying woke up, her head was groggy, and she had no idea what had happened last night. Seeing Qin Xiao on the other side of the bed, she was very surprised, "You, when did you come in? Why did you come over?"
Qin Xiao smiled, "I came to watch you transform."
Xue Ying was astonished, "Transform? Transform into what?"
Just as Qin Xiao was about to explain, Mo Qi immediately interjected, "She doesn't know how to put on makeup. Let's see how you do yours."
"No way? Aren't you quite good at it?" Xue Ying was even more astonished, looking at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes, "No matter how you put it on, you're not as beautiful as her!"
Xue Ying blushed surprisingly, "That's a matter of opinion, no one can say for sure."
Mo Qi felt heartbroken. If Xue Ying knew her current situation, what would she think?
Just then, a melodious song drifted over, lingering and soul-stirring.
Mo Qi felt the voice was familiar. After recalling carefully, it seemed to be the Song of the Siren!
Mo Qi's figure immediately shot up, and he dashed out of the room, quickly reaching the deck.
Seeing Mo Qi react so strongly, Xue Ying and Qin Xiao became curious and followed him out.
As Ling Feng opened her door, she saw a figure falling into the room. Instinctively, she caught him, only to realize it was Qi Ao Lai.
Qi Ao Lai suddenly woke up and stood straight, "Are you, are you alright?"
It turned out he had guarded outside the door all night to protect her.
Ling Feng was instantly moved to tears, "You, you could have come in, you know."
Qi Ao Lai's heart bloomed with joy, "Really?"
"Fake," Ling Feng said unhappily, and then headed for the deck. Qi Ao Lai followed.
Mo Qi stood on the deck, looking up. The flying boat was traversing through the sea of clouds. In front, behind, left, and right were layers of white mist, and below was the surging, restless Milky Way.
The Milky Way water was sparkling, like a sea inlaid with countless crystal-clear gems.
Unidentified birds circled above the water, and fish leaped, reflecting the crystal-clear water, like a painting.
There was also a melodious song, like colorful ribbons drifting lazily, sometimes rising, sometimes lingering, making one's heart swirl with it.
Many people, filled with curiosity, came to the deck and looked around, searching for the source of the sound.
Mo Qi was certain it was the Song of the Siren, but they shouldn't be here!
This was the Milky Way world, how could there be merfolk?
At this moment, the Song of the Siren suddenly changed its tune, becoming high-pitched and passionate. The Milky Way water seemed to be stimulated, becoming turbulent, churning violently, and roaring fiercely. Waves hundreds of feet high rolled up, shaking the flying boat violently, tossing it back and forth.
The people on the boat swayed, unable to stand steadily, and many cried out in alarm.
At the same time, the Song of the Siren seemed to have endless penetrating power, like sharp arrows piercing everyone's ears. Everyone covered their ears, in great pain.
Then Prince Bei jumped out again, acting as if everything was under his control, and said, "This is a newly risen force on the Milky Way. They demand transit fees from passing flying boats. If they don't pay, they'll drag the people and the boat into the Milky Way."
"So arrogant?" someone asked in confusion, "Doesn't the River God do anything about it?"
The River God referred to Xiao He.
Prince Bei glared at him, "What do you mean newly risen force? It's a force that even the River God can't do anything about."
"Oh!" The person from before nodded as if they understood, but not quite.
Mo Qi was also secretly alarmed. If even the River God couldn't do anything about it, what kind of force was it?
Seeing many people paying attention to him, including some beauties, Prince Bei suddenly became interested and started to brag, "Do you know? I've dealt with them. As long as I make a certain sound, they'll leave automatically and won't bother us anymore."
Others immediately said, "Then hurry up and act, help all of us, and everyone will be grateful to you."
"This isn't helping all of you, it's helping the captain. The captain hasn't asked me for help, and we're not related. Why should I help him?" Prince Bei said, tilting his head up.
At this moment, Song Xin'an emerged from some corner and walked directly to Prince Bei, saying sincerely, "Esteemed guest, if you can help me make an introduction and waive some transit fees, I'll give you a VIP room for free."
Prince Bei tilted his head up, "I don't care for it." Then he looked at Qin Xiao, "Unless you'll go out with me."
Qin Xiao spat, "What's it to me? Help if you want, don't if you don't."
"Forget it," Prince Bei waved his hand, "With great power comes great responsibility. It's no use. No one is stepping forward now, so I'll step forward."
As he spoke, Prince Bei's figure grew taller, and he flew into the air. Then he began to whistle at the air. His whistling sounded particularly piercing compared to the Song of the Siren, but people had to endure it to repel the enemy.
However, it seemed the other side couldn't stand it.
The Song of the Siren suddenly changed its tune again.
A wave crashed over Prince Bei, who cried out in pain and fell back onto the boat.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Prince Bei was not discouraged. He swooped away again and shouted in the air, "I am Prince Bei of Golden Fish Island. We gave you money last time, and you said you'd let us pass next time."
Oh, so that's what he meant by dealing with them!
Who knew they still wouldn't give him face? Another wave crashed over him, knocking him back onto the boat again. This time, he fell even harder, covered in injuries.
People were about to jeer when they realized the danger had arrived.
The river current became more turbulent, and the waves more violent, shaking the boat violently, almost capsizing it. A few people accidentally fell into the water, flailed a few times, and were swallowed.
The more Mo Qi listened, the more it sounded like the Song of the Siren, but he still felt that merfolk couldn't possibly appear here.
Humiliated, Prince Bei scrambled to his feet. Seeing Mo Qi frowning in thought and looking eager to try, he couldn't help but say, "What are you looking at? Do you have a solution?"
Mo Qi knew he was powerless to change the situation, so he turned to Song Xin'an and said, "Money can avert disaster. Why don't you just pay the money?"
Song Xin'an sighed, "But they're asking for too much. Even if I gave them the entire ship, it wouldn't be worth that much money."
"How much do they want?"
"Fifty billion Meteorite Coins," Song Xin'an said dejectedly.
"So much? Why don't you just rob them?" Mo Qi jumped up immediately.
"They are robbing us," Song Xin'an said, "Actually, their main goal isn't to collect money, but to collect people. Once they overturn the flying boat, everyone who falls into the river will become their slaves, driven by them."
So evil! Mo Qi cursed inwardly.
Would Yu Sheng become so evil? He began to doubt in his heart!
If it really was her, it would be too shocking!
No, he had to get to the bottom of this, or he wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
So Mo Qi leaped up, rising to a sufficient height, and gazed into the distance. He saw nothing but a vast expanse of sea.
Prince Bei couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Still trying to imitate me? You truly don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I failed, and you just have to prove who can climb higher. Alright, I admit you can fly higher than me. Hurry and come down. You're such a tagalong, doing whatever others do."
Qin Xiao also shouted, "Are you tired of living? Hurry and come down. If you fly so high, they'll definitely target you first, and you'll be the quickest to die."
