Chapter 4267: 5.0019 She Did It on Purpose

This person just looked like they needed a good beating, didn't they?

"Cousin, this Crimson Firmament Raging Waves is...?"

"Oh, you all ran too fast; I didn't even have time to call you," Qiao Mu said indifferently. "This Crimson Firmament Raging Waves was given to me by an elder when I was in Shuntian Prefecture."

"I don't use it much usually, and I often forget about it."

Qiao Mu's words made Long Hui and his sister's chests ache with exasperation.

They were certain that this person was absolutely doing it on purpose!

Saying she didn't use it often or that she forgot about it—those were all just excuses.

She deliberately waited for them to leave on the Sky-Soaring Bat before leisurely pulling out this sacred artifact and taking everyone inside!

Long Xiangyun pouted, mumbling softly, "She just wanted to watch us suffer, didn't she?"

Long Hui tugged at her sleeve, and Long Xiangyun sulkily shut her mouth.

"Young Master Long, I see your group must be tired," Mu Xingchen said, standing up. "I'll take you to the second-floor cabins to rest."

Long Hui immediately looked at Mu Xingchen with a wary expression.

Could they really be that kind?

"Don't worry, one million spirit coins already covers food and lodging!" Mu Xingchen explained, making a welcoming gesture with his hand.

Long Hui subtly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's right, when the little Crown Prince Consort was quoting her exorbitant price earlier, she did say the fare was one million spirit coins; she didn't say food and lodging would be extra.

Long Hui, his sister, and their group followed Mu Xingchen to the second floor.

It was then that they discovered there were many rooms in the second-floor cabins. From the outside, the Crimson Firmament Raging Waves appeared to be just a three-story ship slightly larger than a normal one.

But upon entering, they realized that the cabins seemed to extend endlessly.

Following the corridor straight ahead, they felt as if they had passed dozens of rooms and still hadn't reached the end of the cabins.

As expected of a sacred artifact, Long Hui thought to himself, secretly marveling.

It seemed that the space within this ship was entirely different from the outside world.

"Brother, is the space here not right?"

"Yes."

"This is sacred artifact space. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary passenger ship, but once you enter, you discover it's a world of its own."

Mu Xingchen stopped at this point, pointing to the rooms behind them. "The front rooms are all occupied by us. Feel free to choose any of the ones at the back."

Long Xiangyun quickly opened one cabin door, closed it, and then went to open another.

Mu Xingchen said faintly, "Miss Long, the room furnishings are all identical; there's no need to be picky."

He had brought them here to prevent them from entering someone else's room by mistake.

"Thank you," Long Hui sincerely thanked Mu Xingchen. He then let his sister pick a room and enter, while he chose the one across from hers.

The rest of the Long clan members also went to choose their rooms to wash up and rest.

Mu Xingchen nodded at Long Hui. "Young Master Long has had a tiring journey, so I won't disturb you further. If you wish to dine, please come to the deck."

"Thank you, Cousin," Long Hui quickly cupped his hands again, watching Mu Xingchen leave.

He didn't rush back to his own room but pushed open the opposite door and walked in.

Long Xiangyun was curiously touching everything, first the bedside table, then the lamp placed nearby.

"These are all made of wood," Long Xiangyun rolled onto the wooden bunk and sighed in relief.

Although there were no mattresses or bedding, making it feel hard to sleep on, at least it provided shelter from wind and rain, with a pleasant warmth filling the room. Compared to the miserable situation of being stranded outside all night, it was infinitely better.
