After Zhang Ya and her friend Duan Yue left the scene, Lu Chong also took his leave but not before glaring at everyone around watching the whole fiasco.
When the trio went on separate ways, the people gathering around gotten increasingly sparse as they also left one by one. Soon, all that was left on the ship's deck was no other than the master and cat duo.
Everything happens so fast, and the issue comes to its end as soon as it started.
This incident was nothing but a common occurrence for these people. Actually, they did not find it a big deal. After all, the harem was a common thing in this world. In a world where polygamy is widely accepted, having an affair with two or more is not an issue.
Mu Lingxi can't help but shakes her head as this realization struck her.
"Haaaaayyy... even though I'm starting to love this new lease of life, there is still something that I will wish to hold dear to myself, no matter if it is old or the new me, I would only have the man who will love me and only me."
"MEOW"
[Do you really believe that there is still a man in this world that will fit that standard of yours???]
"Why not? It does not mean that because the world is dominated by cheaters and liars, everyone will be like that. There will always be a special case or exemption and I am meant for that. Not all men are all the same."
"MEOW"
[I admire your conviction. But mind to drop a name for example????]
Hmmm.. That question sure stamp Mu Lingxi, she tried hard to think of an answer but to her surprise, she does not know one even if she tried to recall in her past life.
"Errrr....."
She hesitated before answering but at the last second her eyes shine as the answer comes to her mind."
"Well, have not I know you ever since? Why??? Are you planning to ditch Luna? Are you not loyal to her?"
Janus almost lost his balance upon learning her answer. He did not expect even a bit that Mu Lingxi will use him as an example, and what makes him feel more complicated is the tone that Mu Lingxi used to question him.
'Errr... why do I have a feeling that I am digging up my own grave????'
He thought to himself, but of course, he does not show it to his face. Instead, he answered Mu Lingxi in a matter of fact tone.
"Well yes, I'm a male. But technically I am not a man. So I am the exemption of the rule. In any case, I believe that if there is something in this world that will be hardest to fathom and predict, that is the human heart."
Janus started to ramble about other things and decided to lead the conversation in a different direction. Afraid that if they will continue to dwell on this kind of conversation, he will soon be the one targeted.
Time continues to pass by and it did not take long for the sun to dip on the horizon. The day was about to end, and the cold draft of the night was slowly enveloping the ship.
The sea was relatively calm but Mu Lingxi can't shake the feeling that something was off. She can't help but feel odd and feel tense for some reason.
Usually, the sound of the splashing water and the low roaring of the sea from a distance becomes clearer when the night was about to approach.
Also, the swaying motion of the ship although she dreaded the feeling of it, somehow she already got used to it.
The absence of these everyday stuff makes the surrounding relatively silent.
But the sudden plunge of silence feels like a signal, a calm before the storm!
