🌺🍀Chapter 39 : Giant Fish Bones and...A Kiss?

[Name] scoffed and sarcastically said, "Of course! The spiritual communication array didn't work and that includes the distance-shortening array! Yay..." Hua Cheng laughed. "Isn't that normal? How would be the distance-shortening array would be any better?"

Pei Ming looked over and asked, "This little buddy here seems quite calm for a youngster and doesn't seem worried at al---"

"This ship had already drifted into ghost territory and is sinking as we speak." [Name] interrupted. Xie Lian spoke, "We can't leave even if we want to. Let's solve the problem at hand first."

Shi Qingxuan called out to the person under the deck, "Ming-xiong! How's the situation down there? Can you fix it?" Ming Yi's voice came from underneath."Nothing's broken! The ship isn't caught in anything either! It's something else that caused the ship to lose its power." He said.

"This is  the Demon Xuan's playground now." Pei Ming stated.

As Pei Ming was speaking, the ship dipped, and [name] saw the water had already swallowed half of the ship. It was still resisting to sinking and trying to afloat, since it was crafted by the gods.

"There must be exceptions. It's impossible that everything would sink here." Xie Lian insisted. " There must be something that wouldn't sink" You nod in agreement.

Hua Cheng spoke, "There is,"

Everyone's attention fell into him. Hua Cheng folded his arms and lazily said, "There's one type of wood that's able to float across the black water demon lair without sinking." You raised an eyebrow, folding your arms and doubtly look at him. "Really? Then just what kind of wood is that?" You asked. Xie Lian then tried guessing a few common special woods. "Sandalwood? Agarwood? Elm?"

"Coffin wood," Hua Cheng answered.

"Coffin Wood?!"

"There's no one who has returned alive after they've stumbled into black water demon lair, except for one person. That person was traveling home with his deceased love one's corpse. When the boat sank, he drifted back to land on top of the coffin." Hua Cheng explains.

Pei Ming raised his brows. "This little buddy sure knows a lot."he said. Hua Cheng mirrored his expression and said, "It's not much, you just know too little that all."

After you heard those words, you raised your brows and spoke privately in the spiritual communication through Hua Cheng. "Really? I never heard of it before. Not even in a hundred years."

Hua Cheng flinched, "Gege, of course there is."

You lazily raise a brow at him. "Liar, you're just making that up to show-off to Pei Ming."

"I give up. Let me handle this." Shi Wudu said coldly. He took out his fan and tap it lightly against his forehead then fan it out. He lifted his arm and called out, "Water! Come forth!"

You felt the ship being lifted and the deck under rose several inches above water. You felt your feet slip and fall forward, when two arms caught you and lands on someone's chest. "[Name] are you okay?" Looking up, you saw Hua Cheng with concern. "Oh, yeah I'm fine." You replied. Hua Cheng smiled and help you stand properly. His smile fades then turns to the other direction and stuck out a tongue.
