The Ancient Gods' Whisper
Chapter 301 - 157 Moon Princess: Are you sick?
The luxurious giant cruise ship seemed like a giant sea beast, breaking through the wind and waves as it sailed on the sea.
In the mist, the lights on the ship were bright and flashy.
Amidst the fog, the lights were as radiant as a paradise in the darkness.
Mercenaries armed to the teeth stood on the deck, and heavy alchemy cannons were set up in all directions, beams of light sweeping across the dark sea, probing for any potential danger.
Moon Princess leaned idly on the railing, the wind blowing her long black hair.
The deck was as wide as a plaza, many social elites with transcendent status walked by with their partners in the crowd, waiters wandering with exquisite silver trays, holding fruit snacks and red wine.
The noise inside the cabin was louder than the wind and waves at sea, offering all kinds of venues for these Dark World bigwigs to indulge in, such as casinos and auctions, underground black circles and musical performances, as well as many private gatherings for trading forbidden items from the Ancient God Realm.
Ever since the Qilin Immortal Palace started its exploration, it has attracted transcendental forces from all over the world.
Those who don't join the Ether Association end up in the Dark World.
More freedom.
More chaos.
Nowadays, many such giant cruise ships float in this sea area.
All coming for the Immortal Palace.
On the crowded and noisy deck, there was a vacuum area twenty meters around the girl alone.
Because no one dared to approach her.
Many cast wary yet respectful glances towards her back.
This seemingly petite and slender girl had a notorious reputation in the Dark World.
Powerful and decisive.
It's said she's seen as a successor by a prominent figure in the Dark World.
"Sister Yue Ji, is there something you need?"
A restrained and elegant female voice came from the phone, accompanied by the sizzling sound of welding and a loud roar.
This was Miss Lan's voice, most likely tinkering with alchemy weapons in some laboratory.
Moon Princess touched the cat-face mask on her face, her voice cool and pleasant: "The method you taught me last time didn't work."
"Eh, how could that be?"
Miss Lan was shocked: "Could it be discovered when you administered the drug?"
Moon Princess pursed her cherry lips: "The effect of the Mao Sheng Liquid isn't strong enough, and his self-control is very strong."
Miss Lan was silent for a second, then curiously asked: "It shouldn't be, if there really are feelings between you, then after taking the liquid, there should be some reaction, aren't men all like this? Or could it be he actually has someone he likes, and has no interest in you at all."
"Wait."
She paused: "You didn't tell him your true identity, did you?"
Moon Princess held back: "Mm."
Miss Lan sighed on the other end: "So in his eyes, you're just a weird woman with a mask, being inexplicably nice to him. How can that succeed? What if he thinks you're an ugly monster after you take off the mask? What if he thinks you have ulterior motives?"
"Based on your description, the person you're pining for is naturally aloof, so if you keep holding back like this, you'll have to use a stronger secret medicine."
She paused: "The Desire Fire Secret Medicine, and it must be in liquid form!"
Moon Princess's beautiful eyes flickered, saying: "I, I just want to speed up the progress a bit, didn't really plan to go that far with him. And, I... I am a bit inconvenient."
"Hm?"
Miss Lan said with a teasing tone: "Won't it be fine after this week passes?"
Moon Princess puffed her cheeks, saying: "It's not about my period, it's for another reason. Anyway, for now, I just want to speed up the progress a bit, I'm not intending to go that far. For now, I feel he just doesn't have any special feelings for me, maybe sees me as a fellow traveler or just wants to repay me."
She hesitated for a moment: "Besides, I'm quite happy that he's not interested in this identity of mine."
After a brief silence, Miss Lan softly said: "Sister Yue Ji, you're so awkward."
"Never mind, help me notify Third Master."
Moon Princess said softly: "This time entering the Immortal Palace for exploration, I want to go to the Living Burial Area."
Miss Lan thought for a moment: "It's possible, but that area is likely controlled by the Ether Association, it's very dangerous. Plus, the area was originally under the care of Fourth Master's people. You've already had a conflict with them."
Moon Princess said coldly: "I don't care."
Miss Lan softly said: "Is it worth it for him? You've been neglecting your training lately, even though someone appreciates you, their patience is limited. I'm really curious now, what kind of man can captivate you like this. I remember last year, a prince pursued you, but you coldly rejected him."
Moon Princess said flatly: "Just a prince of a broken small country, not worthy to compare with him."
"What kind of person is he then?"
Miss Lan asked: "Is he really not interested in you? What about your real identity?"
Moon Princess fell into silence.
She looked at the vast, turbulent sea, recalling the first time she met that boy.
His eyes seemed like this too.
Lonely, deep.
Hidden turbulence.
Alienated from the whole world, going against the flow.
"Whether he likes me or not is not important."
Moon Princess said softly: "I just feel too indebted to him. Although it wasn't my intention, and I couldn't change anything back then, I indeed took away the happiness that should have been his."
