Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 997: Chapter 390: Embarrassing Conversation

Upon hearing this, the once confident expression on Shen Yunxi’s face immediately showed a hint of panic.

"Ah? Me? Alone? Can you come with me?"

So it turns out that her previous bravado was just a show.

Lin Ya couldn’t help but chuckle, saying, "Weren’t you just talking big earlier? Why are you so afraid when asked to find him now?"

Shen Yunxi urgently replied, "How can that be the same? You have no idea how terrifying his spiritual power is... Anyway, you’re not a Spirit Ability User, so you wouldn’t understand even if I explained."

"Regardless, you have to come with me."

Shen Yunxi clung to Lin Ya’s arm, her face full of pleading.

Lin Ya felt helpless but was indeed uneasy about Shen Yunxi going to Liang Yuan alone.

After all, Liang Yuan’s previous methods against Leng Yuehua and others were too ruthless, genuinely scaring them.

"Alright, I’ll go with you."

She nodded in agreement and poured Shen Yunxi a glass of water.

The two continued chatting along the same lines.

"Why do you think he still wants to see me?" Shen Yunxi couldn’t help but ask.

Lin Ya replied, "After all, he used Spirit Recovery Potion to save you. Although I promised on your behalf to join his team in the future, you need to personally commit to show your attitude."

Shen Yunxi lay on the bed, somewhat hopeless, "You’ve already agreed for me, can I still back out? Really... He wouldn’t have any ill intentions towards me, would he?"

Lin Ya rolled her eyes, "Are you overthinking it?"

"But he’s so fierce! Look at how he dealt with Leng Yuehua, not treating her as a woman at all. That steel bar was just plunged in without hesitation. It’s terrifying just thinking about it now."

Lin Ya sighed, recalling the scene from the morning, feeling a bit uneasy herself.

"That was battle. We’re not in battle now... It won’t be like that."

Even though she said this, she made up her mind to accompany Shen Yunxi to find Liang Yuan.

In less than half an hour, Shen Yunxi’s mental trauma completely healed.

After dragging it out on the bed for another half hour, Shen Yunxi was finally pulled up by Lin Ya to head to the captain’s cabin.

The two people at the door had already received Liang Yuan’s instructions and didn’t stop them, instead leading them to the captain’s cabin.

When they arrived at the captain’s cabin, they saw Han Xiangman just coming out of it.

Seeing the two women, she was slightly surprised, then thought of something as she looked at Shen Yunxi’s chest.

Shen Yunxi, having been coveted by Leng Yuehua for a long time, was extremely sensitive to such gazes on special areas.

Even a glance from the same gender made her heart tighten, prompting her to instinctively avoid the gaze and shift her body slightly.

Han Xiangman, noticing this move, pursed her lips.

It’s really huge!

She felt a bit envious but quickly shook her head, sighing softly.

Mr. Liang is ultimately corrupted.

As she left the captain’s cabin with this emotion, she saw the two girls enter it from the corner of her eye.

Once inside, Shen Yunxi felt relieved as Han Xiangman’s gaze was no longer on her.

She couldn’t help but whisper, "This woman is also a bit strange. Lin Ya, you be careful too."

Lin Ya was speechless, saying, "Can you be serious? Otherwise, you go in alone."

"No, no, let’s go in together. Come on." She quickly grabbed Lin Ya.

Lin Ya walked to the door and exchanged a glance with Shen Yunxi, until Shen Yunxi took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in!"

A deep voice from Liang Yuan came from inside.

Shen Yunxi swallowed, pushed the door open under Lin Ya’s encouraging gaze.

Lin Ya followed to look inside and saw Liang Yuan standing by the table, looking at the items on it.

Shen Yunxi instinctively looked at the table and saw the nautical map she had drawn temporarily spread out on it, and instantly felt a wave of relief.

Then she suddenly remembered that the nautical map was something she had hidden in the cabinet. Had he rummaged through her cabinet?

Instinctively, she turned her head towards the cabinet, her eyes widening.

The cabinet door was open, and her clothes were messily piled inside.

Her stash of personal, intimate items was also piled in a box, uncomfortably placed on the side.

At that moment, her face turned completely red!

Lin Ya hadn’t noticed these details, nervously saying, "Mr. Liang, I’ve brought Yunxi here."

Liang Yuan looked up at the two, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Shen Yunxi, right? Is this your room?"

Shen Yunxi shook her head frantically, "No, it’s not."

Liang Yuan raised an eyebrow, "It’s not?"

He looked at Lin Ya in confusion.

Lin Ya quickly tugged at Shen Yunxi, giving her a reproachful look.

"It’s her room," Lin Ya corrected.

Shen Yunxi was so embarrassed that she wished she could disappear. Hastily explaining, she said, "I mean, before I joined Leng Yuehua and the others, this wasn’t where I stayed. I lived in the school dormitory."

"Not all of these things are mine."

She glanced at the box of intimate items in the wardrobe, afraid of being misunderstood, and quickly added.

Liang Yuan didn’t catch the deeper meaning of her words and simply pointed to the nautical map on the table, asking, "Is this yours?"

Shen Yunxi nodded quickly, feeling a sense of relief, "Yes, that’s mine."

"Did you draw it yourself?"

"Yes, I drew it myself."

"Do you understand navigation?"

Shen Yunxi nodded again and said, "I am a professor at the School of Shipbuilding at Linjiang University. Drawing nautical charts and such are basic tasks."

Liang Yuan nodded and asked, "Do you know Professor Li Hanzhong?"

Shen Yunxi raised her head immediately upon hearing this and stared at Liang Yuan: "You, you know Professor Li?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "Professor Li is currently at my shelter, in charge of ship research projects."

Shen Yunxi’s eyes widened in surprise and delight: "You actually have a research team?"

She then started muttering to herself: "That’s right, that’s right, with Professor Li Hanzhong, he alone is a team."

"Mr. Liang, both Professor Li Hanzhong and I are professors at the same school, and I’ve even worked on research projects with him before."

She was so excited that she almost said, ’We’re on the same side.’

Liang Yuan was somewhat caught off guard by her reaction.

He originally thought it would take some effort to persuade this woman to join his Yangshan Shelter, maybe even offer some benefits.

Unexpectedly, this woman seemed easy to talk to?

Liang Yuan gave Shen Yunxi a strange look and asked, "Are you interested in continuing to work with Professor Li?"

Shen Yunxi quickly nodded: "Of course, I’d love to."

Liang Yuan laughed, stood up, walked over, and extended his hand: "Then welcome to the Yangshan Shelter. From today, you’re one of us."

Shen Yunxi was overjoyed, quickly shook hands with Liang Yuan, and excitedly said, "When can I see Professor Li?"

Liang Yuan felt the smoothness of her skin and the faint fragrance from her body.

His mind subconsciously recalled those lingerie on the bed.

His eyes couldn’t help but glance at Shen Yunxi’s chest, silently admiring its magnificence.

Shen Yunxi’s smile suddenly froze, and her sensitive nature immediately sensed the subtle glance.

Out of reflex, she quickly withdrew her hand.

Liang Yuan also quickly came to his senses, releasing her hand while looking at Lin Ya beside him, saying, "Miss Lin Ya, you’re also welcome to join my team."

"As for when you can meet Professor Li, once I finish the matter at Mist City, I’ll naturally arrange for you to meet him."

Shen Yunxi didn’t speak, casting a suspicious glance at Liang Yuan, feeling his gaze wasn’t pure.

Lin Ya also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly thanked Liang Yuan.

After a few more exchanges, Liang Yuan was ready to see them off.

However, Shen Yunxi seemed hesitant, as if she had something to say but struggled to speak.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan directly asked, "Miss Shen, is there something else?"

"Well... I used to live here, and I have a lot of clothes here..." Shen Yunxi mustered the courage to say.

Liang Yuan looked at the clothes on the bed, thought for a moment, and said, "This captain’s cabin can’t be returned for your stay for now, but you can take the clothes."

Shen Yunxi quickly said, "That’s okay, I’ll just take the clothes."

"Alright, you can pack them yourself."

Shen Yunxi hurried to the bed to pack the scattered clothes, but as soon as she opened the rolled-up quilt, she felt overwhelmed.

The bed had many pieces of lingerie with unique styles, and her face flushed instantly. She quickly said, "Who... who put this kind of stuff here?"

Liang Yuan glanced at her, and Lin Ya also noticed.

Shen Yunxi forced herself to remain calm and quickly wrapped up the bedding.

Then she turned to leave.

Liang Yuan reminded her, "There are clothes in the closet too."

Lin Ya quickly offered, "I’ll help her pack..."

She turned to go to the closet, but upon looking, she saw a bunch of adult items in the closet box.

At this moment, Lin Ya wished she could slap herself.

Why did she have to volunteer to help? How can she clean up these messy things?

Her face flushed, she could only pretend not to see and quickly took down the clothes from the closet and turned to leave.

Only then did she realize that Shen Yunxi had already taken the bedding and gone far away.

Lin Ya gritted her teeth, cursed inwardly, and quickly tried to catch up.

Suddenly, Liang Yuan asked, "Aren’t you going to take these little toys?"

Lin Ya stopped, face red, stammering, "I..."

"Take them back; after the great flood, you won’t be able to buy these things anymore, collecting so many toys must have taken a lot of time and effort."

Liang Yuan said considerately, closing the box and handing it to Lin Ya.

Lin Ya held the box against her chest and fled with a flushed face.

What was expected to be a rather cold conversation.

Unexpectedly ended with a slightly ambiguous atmosphere.

Liang Yuan was also a bit confused yet amused.

After watching the two women leave, Liang Yuan didn’t stay in the captain’s cabin but went to the deck.

On the deck, Qiu Yingyue had already set up an ambush with her team.

Even underwater, Water Attribute Superpower Users were surveilling, guarding against enemies coming to sabotage the ship.

He learned from chatting with Lin Ya that in battles on the water, there were rarely direct attacks on ships.

Because with the great flood everywhere, ships had become the only means of transportation.

And the cost of building a ship is not low, with technological complexity making it hard to produce more ships.

Thus, a modern ship is extremely valuable, even enemies are reluctant to destroy a ship.

Of course, unless they are utterly insane or bear deep enmity.

Only then will they come up to sink a ship, a life-or-death struggle.

Liang Yuan believed what they said, ships are indeed valuable resources, and enemies are likely reluctant to destroy such a vessel directly.

But Liang Yuan remained cautious, who knows if the captain of President No. 7 might disdain this ship and decide to destroy it?
