The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

Chapter 305-306

305: Humiliate Her

Peeked at her while she was taking a bath? Really?! She wanted to kill the little kid just for that?

The people there had stupefied expressions on their faces. Her reason was too ridiculous.

You uneducated woman. Who are you calling perverted? Xiao Ye[notes] is just a baby. So what if he saw you bathe? Hes just one. You worried a one-year-old baby is going to molest you? Ink had been a temporary dad for so many days, of course he would have special feelings for Little Bun. It was hard to stand anyone scolding the little guy.

Both Mofeis friends couldnt help but blush for this reason. Neither of them understood Mofeis reason for going after the child so fiercely, nor did they have the time to investigate properly. But no matter the reason, Mofeis reaction was overboard.

Miss Mofei, you went too far. You not only shouted insults at a one year old, you even tried to kill him. No matter your reason, your actions are unforgiveable. Not to mention the reason itself was nonsense.

Ming Xi looked at Mofei. His expression was mild yet grave at the same time. It was hard to look him in the eye.

Dont scold Xiao Ye. Feng Wu was more to the point as she glared at Mofei.

She hated people who scolded Little Bun the most. Last time she had slapped Shui[notes] twice because she was scolding about Little Bun.

If it hadnt been for Ming Xi holding her hand, she would have already rushed over and beat Mofei.

Who wants your forgiveness? That stinking boy peeped at a girl taking a bath. Why cant I beat and scold him? You should have taught him better if you didnt want him to get beaten and scolded. I dont know how youre even parents. Cant even control your own child.

Mofei wasnt a fool. If she hadnt gotten so mad at the little boy, she wouldnt have chased after him so publicly. She would have punished him where others wouldnt see. It was just a shame she lost her cool and did it in front of so many people.

She was annoyed at her own impulsiveness, but the words had already been spoken and they couldnt be taken back. So many had already seen her chasing after the little boy.

Its bad that Xiao Ye offended you, but hes only a little kid. Do you really need to be so heavy handed with a one year old? You were even verbally abusive. Doesnt Miss Mofei feel that is too much? Leo joined the fray.

What are you all doing milling around. Get back to work! yelled Emoke, the head the mercenary group. He was displeased to see the mercenaries just hanging around.

Even though the group wanted to see Mofei get what was coming, they had to leave.

Emoke waited until the group of people watching the show properly dispersed before walking over. He frowned in displeasure as he looked at Feng Wu and Mofeis group.

No matter who you are, please do not make trouble while on board. Resolve your personal vendettas after you disembark. He turned around, giving them the cold shoulder, and promptly left without waiting for a reply.

Emokes attitude wasnt great. It was obvious he considered the group outsiders and didnt like having them on the boat.

His attitude was to be expected though. Under normal circumstances, merchant ships shouldnt casually take in unidentified passengers. There was a possibility they were letting wolves into their midst, which would in turn making guarding the ship more difficult.

It was no wonder the head of the mercenary group didnt like them.

After Emoke's departure, Mofei snorted then turned and left as well. The abruptness caught Jier and Ink off guard. Who would have thought such a powerful woman would just walk away?

Mofeis two companions naturally followed her, but before leaving, they apologized repeatedly on her behalf. They were much more reasonable.

Jier and Ink found it hard to swallow that Mofei left without any kind of punishment. They wouldnt feel better until they taught her a lesson. Even if they werent allowed to kill anyone on board, teaching someone a little lesson had to be permissible right?

Later that very night, Feng Wu carefully followed behind Jier. Jier and Ink had knocked on her door a little earlier and had invited her to join them in embarrassing Mofei.

Why would they want to embarrass Mofei? What was embarrassing? Feng Wu wasnt sure. Understanding dawned on her after Ink explained what it was. They were going to teach Mofei a lesson for Xiao Ye!

Her eyes had lit up. Ill go, was her immediate reply. She followed them to do bad things without hesitation. It was very exciting.

The night was a hot bed of criminal intent. The dark would be perfect cover.

The trio wasnt going to commit anything serious like murder or arson. They were just going to use some illusion magic to teach Mofei a lesson, much like with Jasmine.[notes]

Jier could have done this kind of simple thing alone. He had only called them all out so they could enjoy the show.

Once his illusion worked, they could just watch the woman make a fool of herself in front of everyone.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he got, and the more wicked the plan became.

The three of them divided into two groups. Feng Wu and Ink would guard outside while Jier would enter alone and cast the spell.

Xiao Wu, just wait and see how unlucky that woman is going to get. Ink gloated at the upcoming misfortune of another. He giggled twice before catching himself and covering his mouth with one hand. He didnt want people to find them there.

Yep. Her eyes were bright with expectation.

She did not like people who scolded Little Bun, but Ming Xi said they couldnt fight while on the ship. They had to wait until they docked, but that would take a long time five whole days. . . 

She couldnt beat the bad person, but Jier said there was another way. Out of blind trust in Jier, Feng Wu followed him. She wanted to see the bad person be taught a lesson.

They had only waited for five minutes when Jier came back out looking confused.

Whats the matter? Bad luck? Were you discovered? Ink asked.

No, no one was inside. Jier was disappointed. He had been ready to go with his best illusion magic yet. It was one he got as a successor of the four seasons.

306: Mofeis Death

Not there? Where could she have gone off to so late at night. Ink cursed their bad luck, his face showed his unwillingness to give up. He didnt want to let her get off scot free.

Feng Wus eyes were also filled with disappointment. She wouldnt get to see Mofei suffer misfortune.

I dont know where she went. Lets leave for now and come back tomorrow night.

Ink was reluctant to leave, but they couldnt find her, and they couldnt very well just stand around her door all night. They had come in high spirits but returned to their respective rooms in disappointment. They went to sleep, unaware the night was destined to be a restless night.

A scream rang out early the next morning.

One by one, people ran toward the sound.

Ming Xi and Jier were eating breakfast when they heard the scream. Jier nearly sprayed fresh milk in Inks face.

Chaotic footsteps rang out on deck as many people rushed over. The core mercenary group shouted at everyone to return to their posts. Only a small number of people were sent over to investigate.

Whats the matter? Margaret had just sat down with her brother for their meal when the scream rang out.

I dont know. Margarets brother stood up and looked outside the door.

Margaret nodded. She was a fan of excitement. Something had to have happened and she wanted to see if it would be interesting. Xiao Wu, it looks like something is wrong outside. Do you want to take a look together? There were only a few girls on board the ship, and she and Feng Wu were about the same age, so by default, Feng Wu was her favorite girl passenger.

There was also Mofei of course. They werent too far apart in age or grade, but unfortunately the girl had a personality that made it hard to get along with her. Naturally, Margaret wouldnt look for her as a companion.

Feng Wu shook her head to the invitation. She continued to eat the bread in her hand, obviously uninterested in the events outside.

Margaret was disappointed, but she didnt force the issue, instead she invited Jier and Ink. This time her luck was better -- both of them were game, so together all three went outside to check things out.

The only ones left in the dining cabin now were Feng Wu, Ming Xi, and Leo. They ignored the noise outside and ate their meal quietly. They didnt expect their leisurely meal to be interrupted when Jier and the siblings ran back in, not ten minutes later.

Bad news! Bad news! Mofei is dead! cried out Margaret while panting.

Ming Xi, Leo, and Feng Wu: . . . 

Who killed her? Leo asked after getting over his surprise.

Jier and the siblings all pulled up chairs and sat down around the table before pouring a glass of water.

Jier drank a glass of water then started. I dont know. They havent found the murderer yet. The whole thing is a mess. Boss Hart has already ordered a full investigation.

We dont know the murderer yet? Then who found the body? Ming Xi frowned.

The two guys who were with her. They said they were going to ask her to come to breakfast with them. Her door looked closed when they went over, so they pushed it open, only to find that it wasn't so much closed as just blocked. They pushed it open and there she was. . .  dead."

She died pretty badly. Her body looked really strange. It was really scary. Good thing Xiao Wu didnt go. Xiao Wu, if youd seen it, you would have puked breakfast out. Margaret drank more water as the pressure sensation in her stomach rolled around. She had vomited her breakfast earlier. She didnt want to vomit last nights dinner as well.

That scary? Is it because youve never seen a dead body before and you were scared because it was your first time. Leo asked suspiciously. He didnt believe a dead body could be that scary. Only those whod never seen one before would be so affected that they would vomit.

Ink waved his hand. No I can vouch. The corpse was definitely scary and way too abnormal.

What do you mean? Even Ming Xi was interested.

Her body was dried and withered. She didnt have a single drop of blood left. Her clothes were a mess, all old and crumbly. It broke apart on contact, like it was hundreds of years old. There were large maggots crawling all over her body too. Basically, it didnt look the body of someone who just died. It really looked like shed been dead for a long time. You say, dont you think that's strange? Ink couldnt help but feel a chill run up his spine just thinking about it.

Ergh. Dont remind me. I get the heebiegeebies whenever anyone talks about bugs. I think Im gonna puke again. . .  Margaret couldnt take it. She covered her mouth and rushed outside.

That is really strange. Even if they hadnt seen the body, it was obvious from Inks description that something was wrong with it. They didnt know how Hart or Emoke was going to handle the matter though.

Yeah it is really strange. Everyone, be careful. Dont go anywhere alone. Xiao Wu, make sure you dont go out by yourself at night. Remember to call us if you have any problems. . .  Jier was a bit longwinded.

As a result of the murder, security on board was much tighter. Feng Wu and the others were pulled in for questioning by Emoke because of what happened earlier between them and Mofei.

They werent convicted of anything, but from the number of patrols around Feng Wu and her group, it was obvious Emoke suspected them.

They were on Harts ship and he was in charge. They couldnt go to him to protest. What could they do other than keep their heads down and stay out of trouble?

They could only hope to reach Biluo soon. Once they got there, they would be able to buy a boat and sail back to Zhongyang themselves.

But things changed the next day. A black tornado appeared on the waters without any warning. It was a huge tornado with powerful winds.

The sea raged with rolling waves while sea creatures were swept up into the chaos. The air was filled with the sounds of distress.
