”What is it?” Ye Chong was alerted.
”Someone sent out an encrypted message, and I’ve intercepted it!” Ye Chong knew from the tone of voice that it was not Mu, but Shang! Mu would never speak in such a carefree manner, as his tone was always flat and calm. Ye Chong was deeply influenced by Mu in this respect.
”Shang, is it your turn to come out now?” Ye Chong said, by way of greeting Shang.
Shang laughed, pleased. ”I didn’t expect such fun just when I came out! Ye, tsk tsk, don’t be like Mu, you gotta have some fun in life! Hehe, that missy in the training garb is quite a lady, what powerful legs! I sure miss her! Tsk tsk! Ye, you’re still alright down there right? I remember her kicking you there! Let’s talk about your feelings back then. That was such a wasted opportunity!”
Rui Bing’s figure, clad in white training garb came unbidden to Ye Chong’s mind. He could not help but recall the strange fragrance and smooth touch from deep within his mind.
What a strange feeling!
Ye Chong knew that if he did not cut off the bastard right now, he would continue on forever with the topic. Hence, Ye Chong quickly interrupted, ”Shang, you said that someone just sent out a message?”
Shang replied, ”Mm, to be precise, someone had set a timed algorithm, such that a message would be sent out periodically to a specified destination!”
”Oh, what’s it say?”
”The ship’s current location!” Shang replied.
”Will this affect us?” Ye Chong asked.
”Information is insufficient, the results are incalculable. Sigh, Mu’s slogan tastes horrible in my mouth!” Shang muttered, and continued flashily, ”Ye, this must be the work of someone with ill designs towards this ship! Heavens, do you not have any sense of knightliness in you? Based on this year’s online survey, this is one of the most appreciated qualities by the ladies in their dream partner! Ye …”
Against Shang’s chattering, Ye Chong became vexed. His expression turned loose, and he felt like he would faint at any moment!
After a full twenty minutes, Shang finally ended his grand speech on the topic.
Ye Chong was already withering, a body without a soul!
Shang spoke expectantly, ”Ye, what do you think? Let’s expose the impostor in the name of justice! Haha!”
”No!” Ye Chong resolutely ignored the crazy mech and left.
He soaked quietly in a jacuzzi, complete with rotating micro-jets. The numerous little whirlpools caressed every corner of his body, and the slight tickling sensation was wonderfully comfortable. However, Ye Chong’s expression was not one of indulgence, but of one lost in thought.
Mu was absent, and Shang did not make him feel safe at all! When he was with Mu, the mech was like an invincible leader. When with Shang, Ye Chong found himself being the leader instead. However, the thought of Shang brought a smile to his face. Shang was discretely in control of the starship’s photon processor, monitoring everyone on board! Regarding Brent and his uncle, Fred, Ye Chong dared not underestimate them. It was safer to be in control of his own destiny than letting others decide it for him, and also less worrisome for him! While they seemed close to each other, who was to say what the future holds? It was better to play it safe!
Ye Chong was also perturbed by Shang’s report of the outgoing message. While he did not understand what it was about, Ye Chong thought nothing would come of it. It was best if he did not expose himself at the moment. Besides, close to Blue Ocean as they were now, any complications would spell trouble!
With his eyes half closed, Ye Chong sprawled lazily in the jacuzzi. ”Now that feels much better!” Ye Chong’s skin was extra sensitive. The little micro-whirlpools felt like animals moving in the water. Ye Chong was suddenly overcome by a playful mood. He closed his eyes and submerged his hands completely in the water, trying hard to feel the subtle motions of the water around his hands. His hands moved swiftly like fishes, avoiding the chaotic whirlpools in the water. When a whirlpool became unavoidable, he would disrupt the whirlpool with the tip of a finger. However, this introduced more irregularity into the water flow in the jacuzzi, making them harder to anticipate.
Alone in the micro-jets jacuzzi, Ye Chong thoroughly enjoyed himself.
Water in the micro-jet jacuzzi were mixed in with many rejuvenating ingredients that could reduce fatigue. Ye Chong now felt refreshed, as though he had lost some weight! However, if Ye Chong knew the amount of gold zuan charged for his bathing session could easily afford him a mech, what would his thoughts be then?
Only a Slan graded luxurious starship would have something like the micro-jet jacuzzi as a standard facility! For those who could afford the starship, how would they mind the relatively insignificant expenses involved?
Refreshed from his session, Ye Chong left the bathing room only to meet Brent. Brent reached for his arm and said smilingly, ”Kun Ting, I’ve been looking all over for you, so this is where you’ve been hiding!”
Ye Chong reflexively shifted his posture, and Brent missed his arm. He was surprised, and laughed a little in the ensuing awkwardness.
Ye Chong asked plainly, ”What’s the matter?”
