Chapter 381 - ON THE CRUISE SHIP (II) (1/2)
TWO players were currently sitting on the topmast of the ship cruising around the jungle. They were on the highest point of the ship, overlooking everything. Both belonged to the beastkin race.
One was a guy with fluffy red-orange hair and a pair of lion ears on top of his head. He had bronze skin and perfectly sculpted muscles. He had clear and bright features. But because of the mischievous smile on his lips, he looked absolutely like a bandit.
The other was a girl with ash-brown hair cut into a short bob. Just like the guy, there's a pair of animal ears on top of her head. But hers was that of a cat. Her features might be plain and simple but her eyes were extraordinary. They were big and slanted, just like a cat. It added some kind of charm to her face, making it much more attractive.
”Hey, I think I just saw Morganite threw a guy off the ship,” Xia Li said, looking at the direction of the deck.
They were at the highest point of the ship. So, they could easily see what was happening on the deck. That's why Xia Li clearly saw when one of the players surrounding the table where Morganite was sitting suddenly floated and flew out of the ship. Because it was quite obvious that he was bothering Morganite, the only culprit on why he was suddenly thrown off the ship was her.
It was quite entertaining though. Xia Li wished she had seen it up close.
”Really? I didn't see it. But that's just like her,” Bai Ze commented in a wry tone.
Xia Li glanced at the guy standing beside her. ”She has a short temper?”
She remembered how Morganite reacted when White Marsh told her and the cute gnome that she would be joining them. Morganite didn't have any much of a reaction. She just looked at her, said 'oh', then moved her gaze way. The gnome who introduced himself as 'Jin' had more of a reaction than her.
Xia Li thought that the other was the extremely indifferent type based on that. But after she had thrown that guy over the ship and White Marsh not being surprised about it, it seemed like that was not the case.
”Rather than a short temper, I'd say she's a sadist. Yes, she's a sadistic loli!” Bai Ze said with conviction.
Xia Li couldn't stop herself from laughing. ”What's with that? If Morganite hears you, she'd definitely be mad.”
”It's not like she doesn't know that I usually call her that,” Bai Ze shrugged. ”I even sometimes tell it to her face. It's better than actually acting all friendly to someone but dissing them behind their back, you know.”
Xia Li looked at the big lion beastkin beside her with amus.e.m.e.nt. ”You're right. It means you're a good friend.”
The lion looked at her as if she just said a bad joke. ”I think your standard of friendship is a bit skewed.”
Xia Li looked even more amused when she heard that. ”Not at all. I think honesty is one of the foundations to build a lasting friendship. If you can tell your friend that she's a 'sadistic loli' to her face, then your relationship must be really deep.”
Bai Ze suddenly had goosebumps and he started rubbing his arms. ”What kind of scary things are you saying? Are you cursing me?”
Xia Li couldn't help but laughed once more seeing this exaggerated action. It was really fun talking to this guy.
Bai Ze stopped rubbing his arms and looked at the cat-girl in front of him. It was something he had already noticed since they did that task together during the birthday event of the King of Arcadia. Catnip really looked beautiful whenever she smiled. Those big cat-like eyes bent into crescents, he could even see a small dimple on her left cheek. That's why every time she smiled, he had the urge to poke that cute dimple.
He stopped. That was one weird thought. He cleared his throat and looked away. So that Catnip wouldn't be able to read anything on his face.
Xia Li indeed did not notice that small reaction of his. It's because she was already thinking of another thing. Of course, it's about his current favorite CP in the game. The NightCloud CP!
”I don't think your Captain and that pretty moon elf are here,” she commented.
They've been here for almost 30 minutes now and they hadn't seen or even heard any trace of the two. Xia Li guessed that they had probably already had probably gotten off the last cruise while their group went to the next one.
”I think so too,” Bai Ze agreed.
Either Ji Yun lied or they were played by Su Yuqi. Whether it was one or the other, it would still be irritating. He sighed. He once again opened his private chat and saw that Shen Ji Yun still hadn't read any of his messages since earlier. This guy. Just what the heck was he doing with Luo Yan that he couldn't even be bothered to read a message?
