165: Chapter 165 Red Young Martial Arts

The morning of the third day arrived, and the sky remained that same lifeless, deathly pale color.

Hong Youwu was awakened by a slight vibration.

She sat up abruptly from her bed, thinking that the long-awaited enemy had finally appeared.

But soon, she realized the vibration did not come from outside the ship, but from the direction of the captain's cabin.

Hong Youwu's cheeks instantly flushed red.

She didn't need to think twice to know what was happening upstairs.

Although the atmosphere on the ship had been tense for the past few days, the only man on board seemed not to have been idle at all.

The three newcomers used the pretexts of "reporting their thoughts" and "asking for tactical advice," but everyone knew perfectly well what they were actually doing.

Even "old Crew Members" like Lin Weiyu and Lin Shishi would occasionally find various excuses to sneak up to the third floor.

The entire "Many Children, Many Blessings" ship seemed to have turned into a Spider Cave.

And that man was like Tang Seng surrounded by a group of female demons.

Except, this Tang Seng seemed to be quite enjoying it.

"How... absurd."

Hong Youwu bit her lip and muttered to herself.

She threw off the covers, got out of bed, and walked to the window. Looking at the unchanging black-and-white scenery outside, she felt a wave of irritation.

She admitted she was a bit jealous.

But more than that, it was a sense of unwillingness.

Why?

In terms of figure, she was confident that she didn't lose to anyone on the ship.

In terms of brains, she didn't think she was inferior to anyone either.

But why could those girls receive the captain's "favor," while she could only wait here?

Was it just because she wasn't as proactive or as open as they were?

In her mind, Hong Youwu recalled what Su Mei had said to her that night.

"The captain is cold on the outside but warm on the inside; he definitely likes your two big treasures. You must make good use of them; don't waste such a good Talent."

"Talent..."

Hong Youwu subconsciously looked down at her magnificent chest.

Could it be that her only remaining value was this body?

No.

Absolutely not!

A surge of stubbornness rose from the bottom of her heart.

She, Hong Youwu, was not a vase that could only survive by depending on a man!

She wanted to prove her worth and let that man see that she was more than just a pretty face!

She took a deep breath, her eyes becoming determined.

She thought of her newly awakened Talent, which she had not yet fully mastered.

These past few days, she had been secretly practicing in her room whenever she had free time.

Although she couldn't fully control it yet, she had figured out some of its nuances.

With a thought, she extended her fair palm.

A flash of light appeared, and a palm-sized, exquisite seven-story pagoda appeared in her palm.

[ Talent Sequence 15: Linglong Pagoda ]

[ Talent Grade: Excellent Grade (upgradable) ]

[ Effect: Can summon a Linglong Pagoda, possessing powerful suppression and containment capabilities. ]

This was her Talent.

A seemingly powerful control-type ability.

Hong Youwu looked at the small pagoda in her palm with a focused gaze.

She could feel a connection of blood between herself and this pagoda.

She could easily control its size and weight.

"Grow!"

She gave a low shout.

The small pagoda in her palm instantly grew in the wind, and within a few seconds, it turned into a two-meter-tall bronze pagoda, landing heavily on the room's floor with a dull thud.

"Shrink!"

With another thought, the pagoda quickly shrank and flew back into her hand.

"Suppression... containment..."

Hong Youwu muttered to herself.

These past few days, she had tried using the Linglong Pagoda to suppress the furniture in her room.

The effect was surprisingly good.

Once covered by the pagoda, whether it was a table or a chair, it was as if it had been hit by an immobilization spell and couldn't move at all.

As for containment, she hadn't dared to try it yet.

If this thing sucked something from the room inside and she couldn't get it out, that would be troublesome.

"I must find a living creature to test it on."

Hong Youwu thought to herself.

She glanced at the pitch-black sea outside the window, and a bold idea formed in her mind.

She was going into the sea!

She would go and catch a living creature to test her Talent!

Once this thought appeared, it could no longer be suppressed.

She knew it was dangerous.

Unknown horrors lurked in this sea area.

But she also knew that risk and opportunity coexist.

If she could successfully bring back a powerful exotic beast, she would not only fully master her Talent but also prove her ability to that man and everyone on the ship!

She hesitated no longer.

She changed into a tight-fitting combat suit, which outlined her hot figure perfectly.

Then, she quietly opened the door and snuck out of the cabin like a thief.

The deck was empty; Sa Wanwan and Yun Jinxin, who were responsible for the night watch, seemed to have gone back to rest early because of the commotion upstairs.

This gave her an excellent opportunity.

She walked to the side of the ship, looked at the ink-like seawater below, and took a deep breath.

The intelligence reports said that the seawater in this area was like mercury, and people could walk on the waves.

She did not doubt the truth of the intelligence.

She only knew that this was her only chance.

She gritted her teeth, leaped into the air, and jumped down from the deck tens of meters high!
