Chapter 730: Everyone Has a Dark History

~7 min read 1,269 words

"Phew—"

Everyone returned to the Ark of the World Tree.

And wrapped themselves in the towels provided by the sailors.

Some sailors even lit a bonfire on the deck for warmth.

Although it was currently summer and the temperature wasn't that low.

But for some unknown reason, everyone just felt a chill they couldn't dispel.

Everyone's wounds had already been treated.

Whether it was the piercing wound on Chu Yuan's arm or the scratches on others' bodies, they had all received effective treatment.

Well...

However, compared to their physical injuries, the trauma everyone suffered mentally was much more severe right now.

Even though the effect of the [Sonic Dream Surround] skill had disappeared, they still hadn't recovered from that blow.

But it was very normal.

Lan Qingyou also had a period of 'shattered Dao heart' back then.

It was precisely because of this that she stayed in the same place for over ten hours like a clown.

Just to be cautious.

But although it was a bit clownish.

And very embarrassing to think about now.

But she had to admit that it was because of this that she regained the caution she had when she first transmigrated.

Speaking of which, she had to thank that Forest of Tentacles.

So she could understand the state of mind of these guys sitting on the deck wrapped in blankets right now.

"I really didn't expect that there would be a day when I would fall for an illusion."

Vivian sighed with emotion.

After all, as a vampire, her spirit attribute was considered top-tier in Tarot Manor.

But even so, she still fell for it.

Although she didn't fight and kill her own people like the other sailors who got hit.

But she was fighting with a witch over materials on the ground in her illusion.

Thinking back on it now, it was truly so embarrassing that she could dig out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

But fortunately, she did this kind of thing in the illusion; otherwise, wouldn't people die laughing if they found out?

Especially that guy Tower.

If she knew, she would definitely laugh at her for a hundred years.

At times like this, the disadvantage of being a long-lived species showed.

"Then let's talk about everyone's reactions after seeing the illusions..."

Hmm!

"Wait!"

Vivian violently turned her head and looked at Lan Qingyou in shock.

Because she was too shocked, she didn't even notice the blanket on her body falling to the ground.

"You can see our illusions?"

"What's so strange about that? Even if you're hit by an illusion, you still make the corresponding movements. Otherwise, why do you think you guys jumped from the ship into the sea?"

Facing Vivian's questioning, Lan Qingyou retorted disdainfully.

However, Lan Qingyou's words immediately made everyone sitting around the bonfire lower their heads.

Very clearly.

Because Lan Qingyou hadn't entered the illusion, she had definitely seen all their embarrassing, ugly states from start to finish.

Great, now everyone had a past they couldn't bear to look back on.

It's just that the sword-holder had become Lan Qingyou alone...

"There's no need to talk about this matter."

"I think so too."

"It's like this, whether some things are said or not actually doesn't make much of a difference."

Thus...

Before Lan Qingyou could say anything, the group directly gagged Lan Qingyou's mouth using conversational tactics.

This was why they were all a bunch of sly foxes.

Even under such disadvantageous conditions for themselves, they could still maintain this level of skill.

Right now, everyone was still in a cooperative relationship, so it wasn't suitable to tear faces.

Therefore, Lan Qingyou, who didn't plan to use this matter for blackmail in the first place, spread her hands and shrugged after seeing everyone's performance.

Rather, the minds of these guys had become a bit fragile right now because of the Leviathan's dying attack earlier.

So compared to blackmailing for some worthless benefits.

It seemed more worthwhile to use this matter to change their mood.

In fact, this was indeed the case.

When the crowd saw Lan Qingyou's 'stance', their initial psychological states of 'confusion', 'loss', 'incomprehension', 'doubt', and 'fear' all disappeared from their hearts along with the 'three-bedroom apartment' embarrassment.

It was as if their bodies suddenly became twenty pounds lighter.

Then everyone looked at each other and smiled, deciding to bury this matter completely in their hearts.

Although everyone hadn't seen each other's embarrassing states.

An indescribable sense of camaraderie spontaneously arose.

"How did we get hit in the end?"

"Judging from the situation, it should have happened after the black rain ended and we went to the deck."

Because a certain matter had come to a close, the crowd whose moods had also relaxed finally began to think seriously.

"Yes, that's when it happened. You all jumped down one by one, smack, smack."

"The High Priestess kept waving her hands, as if she was sweeping something into her arms."

"The Fool kept vomiting, blegh, blegh, as if he ate something unclean."

"The Magician kept waving his hands, as if he was conducting an orchestra performance."

"Fortune was even more..."

Seeing Lan Qingyou talking so smoothly, the guys who had just breathed a sigh of relief immediately tensed up again.

"Hey! Didn't we agree not to talk about this matter!"

Thus, Star immediately jumped up to stop Lan Qingyou from continuing her words.

It didn't matter for the first few who had already been mentioned; the key was that she hadn't been mentioned yet, so she had to stop the other party from continuing.

The so-called 'better a dead fellow Daoist than a dead poor Daoist' meant exactly this.

And those who had already been named had faces as ashen as death.

There was nothing more severe than social death, and right in front of these guys too.

The group chat would probably be very lively in the future.

"Right, right, I forgot we weren't going to talk about this. Sorry, sorry."

Lan Qingyou apologized to everyone with a smile on her face.

But although she said sorry, everyone could tell that this girl was doing it completely on purpose.

In the end, would a creature like a witch ever forget these things?

Please, they absolutely wouldn't, alright?

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Right now, we have more important things to do than these."

After making a little joke to liven up the atmosphere and amuse herself, Lan Qingyou clapped her hands.

"More important things?"

The Fool, Hels, looked at Lan Qingyou in confusion.

"Over there, clean up the Leviathan's blood on the sea surface first, otherwise the fish-type magic beasts below the sea surface will mutate again."

Lan Qingyou pointed at the sea surface with her thumb.

...

Indeed.

If this stuff wasn't handled properly, there would only be more and more of those mutated magic beasts.

Although they weren't that powerful, they were indeed very troublesome.

And the most terrifying part was that under the sea were all schools of fish swimming in groups.

If all these schools of fish mutated, who knew how many there would be.

This time it was the Fierce Dash Swordfish, a magic beast whose lethality wasn't that strong, mutating.

Then what if it was a berserk magic beast like the Crimson-Devouring Jellyfish next time?

They didn't dare to think, they really didn't dare to think any further...

Thus, the crowd, having recovered a little, immediately took action.

Those sailors who originally obeyed Lan Qingyou's orders and hid in the cabins also came out to help after old Nemo lifted the danger alarm.
