Chapter 1729: Chapter 1061: Bai Lingzhen’s Changing Perspective
“Impossible, how could it be Sister Shuyuan?”
“I must have misheard. It must be that.”
Bai Lingzhen was a bit incredulous, feeling it must be her illusion.
She hurriedly got up, wrapped in a bathrobe, and quietly pushed open the door, heading to the room next door.
She listened closely, but the door seemed to have soundproof runes, and the soundproofing was even better than her room.
At that moment, she gritted her teeth, gently turned the door handle and opened a small crack.
With just a small crack open, the sound suddenly became crystal clear.
“Ah—”
The strange cry sent a shiver down Bai Lingzhen’s spine.
Soon her sight fell upon the massage bed where she saw a scene that made her blush furiously.
Liang Yuan’s strong physique, unreservedly displayed in front of her.
Zhuang Shuyuan’s dignified and noble demeanor was completely gone, replaced by a seductive and fragile side she had never seen before.
Bai Lingzhen felt her heart pounding fiercely.
Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
Her face was flushed, yet she couldn’t tear her gaze away, her legs involuntarily pressed together, feeling as if there were thousands of ants crawling all over her.
From the room, Zhuang Shuyuan’s high-pitched scream suddenly sounded: “Ah!”
Liang Yuan remained silent.
After a long time, Zhuang Shuyuan collapsed, breathing heavily, as if a white carp fished out from the river.
Liang Yuan picked her up, changed positions, and Zhuang Shuyuan instantly exclaimed.
“Ah? Again?”
“The fire you started, aren’t you going to put it out?”
Zhuang Shuyuan hurriedly pleaded: “Spare me, I really can’t take it anymore.”
“Or, or perhaps, you can go pester Lingzhen.”
Outside, Bai Lingzhen’s heart skipped a beat, her face as red as fiery clouds.
Liang Yuan sneered: “Oh, you’re getting bolder, huh, writing love stories without my permission?”
“Just say whether you like it or not,” Zhuang Shuyuan asked.
Smack!
Liang Yuan didn’t answer, but suddenly slapped her plump behind.
It immediately made her scream.
“Ah, don’t treat me like Lingzhen…”
Outside, Bai Lingzhen’s face was flushed scarlet, breathing heavily.
She hurriedly rose and rushed back to her resting room.
Yet for some reason, the sound from the next room still seemed like a magical melody, constantly drilling into her ears.
She felt her mouth dry, her mind full of the impactful scene from earlier.
Unconsciously, she extended her hand, placing it inside her bathrobe…
In the subsequent days, under Zhuang Shuyuan’s thorough guidance, the relationship between Liang Yuan and Bai Lingzhen grew closer, and their interactions grew increasingly natural.
Until a week later, Bai Lingzhen spoke up with a proactive invitation.
“Uh, Brother Liang, are you free? I can take you to see my ship. My fleet ranks top tier within the Department Store Alliance.”
Liang Yuan raised his brow slightly upon hearing this.
A beauty’s invitation, how could he decline?
At the moment, he laughed and said: “Sure, I’ve been wanting to witness the difference between your Department Store Alliance fleet and our Yangshan fleet.”
Bai Lingzhen promptly laughed: “Can’t compare with Yangshan’s fleet. We’re just a makeshift crew, far from the scale of the Yangshan fleet.”
Liang Yuan chuckled, “Lingzhen is being modest.”
As they chatted and laughed, they arrived at the port.
Bai Lingzhen’s Department Store Alliance fleet was anchored at the port.
Her fleet was sizable, with a total of ten cargo ships.
Each cargo ship was several hundred meters long, definitely a large cargo ship.
Moreover, the cargo ships were uniformly painted white, with a special flag emblem of the Department Store Alliance on them.
“Were these cargo ships modified from pre-apocalypse vessels?” Liang Yuan couldn’t help asking.
“Two were modified from pre-apocalypse cargo ships. The rest were independently constructed after the apocalypse.”
“Also, for the two pre-apocalypse cargo ships, we added superpower weapon modifications.”
Bai Lingzhen introduced her fleet with a smile.
Soon, under her guidance, Liang Yuan boarded one of the ships.
With Bai Lingzhen’s introductions, Liang Yuan also observed the construction techniques of this ship.
Honestly, this ship does have superpower technology, but compared to Yangshan, it’s far from the level of Yangshan’s superpower technology.
“Your application of superpower technique in shipbuilding doesn’t seem to be too deep.”
Bai Lingzhen responded, a bitter smile on her face: “The Southwest, after all, is inland, with many mountainous terrains. It lacks experience in warship construction, certainly not as developed as your coastal shipbuilding industry.”
“Not to mention, the majority of the military academies related to marine technology are concentrated over there.”
“In terms of shipbuilding technical personnel reserves, we are inherently less than the coastal areas.”
Liang Yuan understood upon hearing this.
This situation is quite normal; if shipbuilding is to be deemed impressive, surely the coast is more impressive.
Many large shipyards are mainly located along the coast.
This is a natural advantage.
The Southwest, situated amid mountains, certainly has less developed shipbuilding.
“However, with the outbreak of the great flood, our shipbuilding industry here has been developing rapidly, and many superpower techniques are leaning towards this.”
“Major forces are investing significant manpower and resources into ship research and development.”
Bai Lingzhen laughed, and what she said wasn’t false. Along the way, she could see many powers researching shipbuilding.
Nonetheless, Liang Yuan shook his head: “One step behind, every step behind. While you are putting great effort into researching shipbuilding, over here we’ve already started researching spacecraft.”
Bai Lingzhen was helpless, smiled bitterly: “To be honest, it was only after coming to the Southeast area that I got to see spacecraft as a technology vehicle.”
“The first time I saw a spacecraft, I was startled. I didn’t think your development would be so fast over here.”
“I bet it won’t be long before we increase our investment in spacecraft research on our side.”
“Especially with the existence of Floating Islands, spacecraft are bound to become mainstream flying tools in the future.”
The two started a detailed discussion on developments in their regions.
Soon after touring Bai Lingzhen’s fleet, Bai Lingzhen led Liang Yuan to her personal quarters.
“This is where I usually stay. It’s a bit modest, Brother Liang, please don’t mind.”
She laughed as she opened the door, the interior neat and cozy.
It’s a typical small shipboard living environment.
The bed wasn’t large, many items were hanging on the walls, so even in the face of giant waves, they wouldn’t be knocked over.
The room had a girl’s fragrance, the bedspread was yellow, adding a hint of brightness.
She smiled: “I like brighter colors. Sailing long voyages on the vast sea, the gray sky doesn’t change, I really dislike it.”
Speaking, her face slightly red, she said: “Sit first, I’ll get you some water.”
Saying this, she turned and went inside.
Before long, Liang Yuan heard the sound of water.
But this sound wasn’t from pouring water, rather, the sound of showering!
