Chapter 1824: Packed Like Sardines
All things considered, Qiao Mu could take out her three-story s.h.i.+p.
However, she wouldn’t be able to explain this to the mentors.
She also didn’t want to enjoy special treatment unnecessarily.
Murong Xun had said that going out into the world for practical training was also a method of strengthening one’s abilities.
Struggling to survive in vile environments was an excellent practical training regimen.
Furthermore, she had boldly cheated earlier with the flight pill and successfully pulled the wool over the mentors’ eyes. She wanted to lay low for now and follow the mentors’ bidding…
“Cough, cough, cough.” A strange smell suddenly a.s.saulted their noses.
Qiao Mu quickly s.h.i.+elded her nose with her sleeve, and Qi Xuanxuan also covered her nose and mouth while creasing her eyebrows.
Those buff men sitting comfortably in the corner of the cabin couldn’t help grumbling and swearing.
Qiao Mu quickly found out that a little boy had thrown up near them.
It was probably due to seasickness.
But the s.h.i.+p had already set sail, and it would take at least seven days to get to Polan Prefecture. Wouldn’t the little boy faint from throwing up?
Qiao Mu poured out a pill from a medicinal bottle and handed it to the woman carrying the girl. “Pa.s.s this over to that boy to ingest. It can alleviate seasickness.”
The woman quickly took it and pa.s.sed it down to the boy’s mother.
Soon, that woman carrying the girl whispered to Qiao Mu, “Miss, that boy’s mother sent over her thanks. The medicine is very effective. The child’s spirits improved right after eating it.”
Qiao Mu nodded and did not say anything else.
It was a small favor. A sea sickness relief pill was truly not worth mentioning.
The girl the woman was carrying was about five or six years old, and she stared at Qiao Mu and Qi Xuanxuan with bright eyes.
The woman quickly said, “My surname is Qi. Could I ask how to refer to you?”
“You can call me Ah-Qiao.”
“Xuanxuan.”
“Miss Qiao, Miss Xuanxuan.” The woman bobbed her head and said, “It should take several days for our boat to arrive at Polan Prefecture. Please excuse me if my child disturbs you.”
Qiao Mu nodded. “She’s not noisy.”
In fact, that little girl had not made a fuss at all and had kept quiet the entire time. She had only been observing them curiously.
The woman smiled. “Are the both of you going to Polan Prefecture to look for your relatives?”
Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t help replying with a smile, “Sis Qi, we are heading to Polan Prefecture’s what’s-its-name academy?”
Qi Xuanxuan couldn’t recall the academy’s name off the top of her head and hastily turned to ask Qiao Mu.
“G.o.dsend Academy.” Qiao Mu expressionlessly reminded her.
“Ah, yes, that’s right. It’s that G.o.dsend Academy.” She had no idea what the heck the planning committee was up to, changing the compet.i.tion rules at the last minute. They just had to exploit student labor to eradicate the zombies on Mount Tai!
The woman immediately widened her eyes and gasped while covering her mouth. “Could you both be spiritual cultivators?”
Since Qiao Mu didn’t answer, Qi Xuanxuan shook her head and responded with a smile, “No, no.”
She was only a level-14 mystic cultivator!
It’s not like this was a lie, right?
The two of them only answered with simple answers to the woman’s subsequent questions, not saying anything afterwards.
Eventually, Qiao Mu closed her eyes to rest, and the woman found it unsuitable to keep talking since they looked quite tired.
Qiao Mu involuntarily heaved an inward sigh of relief. She really wasn’t someone who liked chatting.
