Chapter 599

Set Sail

Qiao Xue and Mu Yu relished the twinkling stars across the deep ebony feathers of night as they caught up on the time they had been separated. Sadly, the heart-warming scene was ruined when Gui Dingtian and Lu Xiong decided to sit and lie around, worried the two would disappear.

“You two have issues? Are you going to watch even if Qiao Xue and I engage in intimate activities?” grouched Mu Yu.The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbj)n((.))co/m

Qiao Xue, face burning with embarrassment, kicked Mu Yu.

“We can close our eyes.”

“Big Earthworm, go play with those two. They’ll buy you some candy.”

“What are you going to do, then?” asked the dragon vine.

“Watch Mu Yu and Qiao Xue engage in intimate activties.”

Mu Yu viciously front kicked Xiaoshuai away.

The rest of the night edged on awkward and joyous for everyone because of the two elders.

“Ghost Gate is moving,” Qiao Xue suddenly notified when dawn broke, having kept tabs on Ghost Gate’s group, which was roughly five kilometres away from where they were, through manipulating the ocean’s water.

Mu Yu sat up and questioned, “They setting sail?”

“Yes. I’m controlling the water as subtly as I can to avoid them detecting my manipulation. They’ve set sail on a boat... Gui Hongyu is with them and is doing fine.”

Mu Yu clasped his forehead with one hand. “I couldn’t care less if she was with them or not, okay?”

Although Mu Yu sensed Long Xingyun’s hostility, he didn’t ask the dragon vine to stop wagging its tail in Long Xingyun’s face, reasoning there was no point hiding anymore.

“Stop! They have halted,” commanded Qiao Xue.

“They stopped?” queried Gui Dingtian, bringing the shell to a halt.

“I don’t know what purpose they stopped for. From what I can discern, they may be trying to read the direction of the wind.”

“Describe to me how they are checking the wind direction,” requested Gui Dingtian, opting to be prepared at all times and to memorise the route to Sacred Island.

“They tied five red items to a rope and are letting it drift on the water surface. Then, they grabbed a bell and gazed at the sun through a lantern – at least, I think it is – shrouded in black mist. I’m not sure if they are trying to determine the sun’s position. I have no guess as to why they are using a lantern...”

Even after hearing the procedure several times and acquiring more details, Gui Dingtian surrendered because it was hard to imagine the scene Qiao Xue tried to illustrate using words. It wasn’t easy for her to describe, either, since she wasn’t familiar with the oceans’ behaviour.

“If only I could see what they are doing,” lamented Gui Dingtian.

“See what Ghost Gate is doing?” Mu Yu repeated to himself, harnessing his creativity.
