Chapter 4266: 5.0018 Utter Disgust
Long Xiangyun was so furious she almost vomited blood.
Seeing this, Long Hui silently pulled Long Xiangyun to his side, looking at the expressionless face with a sense of despair.
Although the child had absolutely no expression at that moment, Long Hui somehow saw the words "mischievous" on Qiao Qiao's small face.
Being mischievous with a blank face was truly exasperating!
"Cousin, just name your price. What do you want?"
Long Xiangyun's face turned ashen, and she looked at her brother, Long Hui.
What did her brother mean by this? Were they actually going to pay for a boat ride? This was insane, insane, insane!
"The fare is one million spirit coins per person," Qiao Mu stated expressionlessly. "The journey is only to the next ferry crossing."
"After that, you'll have to pay for a larger, more reliable boat! Don't let it break down less than half a day after entering the sea. Otherwise... I'm afraid you won't be able to afford the remaining exorbitant fare."
Long Hui already knew how cunning the little Crown Prince Consort was, but he still underestimated the extent of this expressionless face's cunning.
He really felt like crying!
"Cousin, could you..."
The little Crown Prince Consort raised a hand, "I'll give you a discount! You have over seventy people here, let's round down the last bit. You can pay seventy million spirit coins."
"You might as well just rob us!" Long Xiangyun couldn't help but curse.
The little stoic glanced at her with utter disdain, "You're so poor you rattle from head to toe, what do you have that I could even rob?"
This look of disdain and contemptuous tone made Long Xiangyun almost vomit blood from anger.
"Here!" Long Hui gritted his teeth and agreed.
Didn't the little Crown Prince Consort like money? Then give her money! As long as it could improve their relationship, no amount of money was too much!
"However, Cousin, I don't have that much cash on me. Could I sign an IOU, and I'll definitely deliver the full amount once we return to Wangchuan."
After saying this, Long Hui immediately noticed that his cousin's gaze was even more filled with disgust!
"You're too poor," Qiao Mu shook her head. Her utterly serious look of disdain made Feng Changqing and the others on the side twitch their mouths repeatedly.
"Alright then," Qiao Mu sighed. "We're traveling together, and I can't just stand by and watch you all die. Unlike some people who, when they saw the corpse puppet coming, immediately fled on their Sky-Soaring Bat."
Long Hui and his sister's faces cycled through green, white, and red. After the little stoic had finished her scolding, she waved her hand and opened the Crimson Firmament Raging Waves' defensive shield.
Long Hui and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly passing through the opening in the defensive shield and landing on the deck.
After being tormented all night, Long Hui's group of miserable people all looked sickly and utterly unlucky.
Qiao Mu looked at them, then took out a pen and ink from her inner world. "Young Master Long, please."
Long Hui took a breath, quickly signed an IOU, and handed it to Qiao Mu. Only then did he begin to examine the interior of the Crimson Firmament Raging Waves.
This deck was more than three times wider than their previous ship. It wasn't just spacious; it was also fully equipped with tables, chairs, cups, and plates.
Hundreds of Phoenix Clan members were sitting in twos and threes at their small tables, drinking tea and cracking melon seeds. Their eyes were still watching them with great curiosity, looking utterly smug...
Only after landing did Long Hui notice that four ice walls stood beside his cousin, with seven or eight mechanical automatons fanning them. No wonder cool breezes were wafting over.
On the small table in front of them were tea, pastries, and several plates of what looked like very fresh fruit.
Long Hui felt a profound sense of exasperation, his eyebrows and eyes twitching uncontrollably.
