The Great Martial Arts World: Hot Topics and Great Heroes

Seeing that Yaoyue had closed her eyes and was no longer paying attention to her, Xiao Zhao looked at another woman who had "just appeared" beside her.

Xiao Zhao saw that the woman had a face as clear as jade, eyes as clear as water, skin whiter than jade and more delicate than snow. She was beautiful with a touch of heroism, but one could still see some of the characteristics of a Mongolian woman.

After all, Xiao Zhao herself has Persian ancestry and is usually very conscious of her differences from the Han people around her... Otherwise, Zhao Min would look exactly like a Han woman at first glance, especially with her fair and delicate skin; some people might even believe she was from Jiangnan.

"And who is this?" Xiao Zhao didn't dare to call her sister "sister" anymore and try to get closer to her.

Just as Zhao Min was about to speak...

"That's a prisoner of war. She can handle all the dirty and tiring work on the ship, like emptying chamber pots every day!" Chu Luren's voice came in.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min glared resentfully at the bow of the ship where Chu Luren was located outside the cabin, then rolled her eyes wide with her clear black and white eyes.

"I……"

Just as Zhao Min was about to speak again, Yaoyue spoke first: "That makes sense."

Zhao Min: ...

Chu Luren's laughter came from outside—this is what happens when you lick someone's boots until you're left with nothing!

Zhao Min, that little girl, had been following Yaoyue around, stubbornly refusing to be treated as a prisoner, and even wanted to become her disciple?

"We're setting sail now!" Chu Luren called out.

"Can't you make it bigger?" Yaoyue asked, frowning.

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

"If it's bigger, you won't be able to handle it?" Yaoyue asked again, changing her question.

Chu Luren: ? ? ?

"Why don't you answer me? If you can only control a ship this big... then I'll stay in the cabin, and you can all go out and rest!" Yaoyue said domineeringly.

That's why, apart from Chu Luren, everyone on the ship is a woman; otherwise, Yaoyue probably wouldn't have bothered explaining and would have just blasted them all away.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I will keep watch over the cabin door for you. No one is allowed to come in and disturb you.” Zhao Min immediately nodded.

"You go out too." Yaoyue closed her eyes, pretending to be recuperating, and didn't even look at her.

After Zhao Min pursed her lips and left the cabin, she stubbornly sat at the doorway outside the cabin, looking as if she were "guarding the door for the Grand Palace Master."

"It will probably take ten to half a month to get to Ling Snake Island. Yaoyue... how about I draw a curtain for you?" Chu Luren naturally didn't want her to be so domineering.

Yaoyue completely ignored him.

Seeing this, Chu Luren steered the boat out to sea and said, "Hey, I'm skilled in body-building techniques, so my body won't get dirty. Besides, I can just jump into the sea and wash myself. But I feel sorry for the other girls... they can't bathe and wash outside. Like the one who's guarding the door for you, exposed to the wind and sun, she'll probably start to stink in a few days. This boat is only so big, so... tsk tsk."

Zhao Min glared at Chu Luren angrily when he used her as an example again.

Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao blushed as Chu Luren spoke, and at the same time, they were a little worried.

Finally, Yaoyue couldn't take it anymore and interrupted Chu Luren, saying, "Anyone who crosses this line will die!"

Zhao Min peeked into the cabin and found that Yaoyue had divided the cabin with white gauze. Although she had taken up half of it, she obviously no longer restricted others from entering.

Chu Luren was certain that Yaoyue was a clean freak—not only was she herself very clean, but she also couldn't stand having a few dirty, smelly people on the same boat as her.

Chu Luren wasn't exactly lying. In the original story, it only took two or three days to sail to Ling Snake Island. However, the map in the vast martial arts world is much larger, and this was a voyage from Jiaxing, which normally takes seven days. Besides... Chu Luren relied entirely on his internal energy and his navigation skills at sea were average, so it was inevitable that it would take longer.

More importantly, Chu Luren was not in a hurry at all, and even wanted to delay for a while longer.

maritime……

This environment is great!

At this point, Chu Luren had a thorough understanding of the "Mingyu Gong" and had also discovered the "flaw" in Yaoyue's state of mind.

On the one hand, it was to cultivate the "Mingyu Gong" (a martial arts technique), and on the other hand, it was also due to Yaoyue's own personality—she completely relied on placing herself in a "sterile environment" to ensure that her "heart was as pure as ice."

Therefore, to understand her feelings, Chu Luren felt that he could not only make her realize how much she admired him, but also try a different approach...

Just like Yaoyue's martial arts skills, although they are above mine, her body training is actually inferior to mine!

Chu Luren thought to himself that even he couldn't go ten days or half a month without eating or going to the toilet, so Yaoyue definitely couldn't either.

Do you really think you're a fairy who doesn't need to go to the toilet?

We'll see if she needs a toilet then, whether it's placed inside the cabin or if she has to come out and empty it herself. Anyway, Chu Luren will be watching from outside...

Furthermore, Yaoyue has always had a light diet, mainly eating boiled vegetables. She not only avoids meat but also avoids oil and salt. However... it's impossible to preserve so many vegetables when going out to sea.

If Yaoyue had thought of this from the beginning, she could have used Mingyu's true energy to refrigerate and forcibly bring in enough fruits and vegetables to preserve, but...

The Grand Palace Master clearly had no experience at sea, and Chu Luren didn't remind her.

In a few days, we'll grill fish and see how long you can go hungry!

Even with the Chu Lu people's physical training skills, especially the abilities of the Heaven-Mending Technique lineage, drinking seawater raw wouldn't be a problem; they could easily force out the salt deposits. However, Yao Yue, with her superior martial arts, might not be able to do that—fresh water can't be preserved for very long either, so we brought light wine...

What? I didn't warn you?

You didn't ask!

Go ahead and kill me if you dare!

Anyway, we're all in the same small, dilapidated boat. If a fight breaks out, we'll all end up at sea...

"What are you grinning about?" Yaoyue suddenly asked telepathically.

"Ahem, it's nothing, dinner will be served soon... Yaoyue, you still only want blanched vegetables, right? Rongrong, blanch them a little undercooked, Yaoyue likes them crunchy." Chu Luren reminded her.

Well, for the first few days, I brought along the fruits and vegetables that could be preserved, otherwise Yaoyue would have gone back by now, and Chu Luren wouldn't have been able to stop her.

Chu Luren felt increasingly clever...

Chapter 689 Matters on the Ship

On the second day of the seventh lunar month, Yaoyue realized that the problem was not simple—the issue of "relieving oneself" was the first to arise.

The other three women, though somewhat embarrassed and not daring to relieve themselves in the cabin with me around, at least... could use the toilet at the stern—separated from Chu Luren at the bow by the cabin.

Even though she knew that martial artists had sharp ears and eyes and could hear her from such a short distance, she was only a little embarrassed. But Yaoyue couldn't stand it. Someone heard... no, she couldn't stand it. Someone noticed that she was relieving herself.

On the night they set sail, Yaoyue realized what was happening and began to fast, but...

Even for a master like her, there are limits to fasting, let alone on the first day when she was unaware of the "wickedness of human nature" and was eating normally.

Last night, after finally getting to the point where Chu Luren was asleep, Yaoyue hesitated for a while, then took the chamber pot and left the cabin...

Just then, she noticed that Chu Luren, who was "asleep," was experiencing a change in his heartbeat!

Inviting the Moon: !!!

You're not asleep?

And can't you control your heartbeat?

You still dare to say you didn't do it on purpose?

Suddenly, the entire ship seemed to have sailed into Siberia...

Even the three women in the cabin were instantly awakened by the cold. Chu Luren, muttering as if he had just woken up, called out loudly to Yaoyue at the stern, "Huh? What's wrong? Yaoyue, are you in danger?"

Inviting the Moon: ...

Faced with Chu Luren's obvious question, Yaoyue had no way to explain and could only...

Before Huang Rong and the other two came out, they quickly threw the toilet into the sea!

"It's nothing," Yaoyue said with a straight face, then returned to her own room in the cabin.

Before Yaoyue could enter meditation again, a creaking sound came from the bow of the boat, along with... a pattering sound.

Inviting the Moon: ...

The unique aspect of "Mingyu Gong" allowed Yaoyue to imagine that Chu Luren, after getting up in the middle of the night, stood at the bow of the ship with his back to the cabin... and opened the sluice gate to release water.

Logically, such a sound should not be heard at all on the sea surface, but for Yaoyue, it already created a picture!

Although she had heard of such things before, anyone who dared to do so within a few feet of her was already dead!

The three women were also baffled by Yaoyue's reaction, until the next day...

Huang Rong and Zhao Min noticed that one of the spare toilets was missing, and then they vaguely realized what was going on—of course, neither of them said a word.

Yaoyue continued without any abnormality for another day. When night fell again, Zhao Min tiptoed out of the cabin.

She knew that she couldn't avoid Yaoyue, nor could she avoid disturbing Chu Luren, who seemed to be asleep.

They were tiptoeing, simply to avoid Huang Rong and Xiao Zhao...

Chu Luren, who was sleeping on the deck at the bow of the ship, pretended not to notice and ignored her. However, Zhao Min took the initiative to come over and sit next to Chu Luren, saying, "Young Master Chu, I heard that the princess of the Great Song Dynasty married your good brother?"

Chu Luren turned over, his back to her—did he think that would provoke me?

"So? Are you interested in the princess of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion?" Zhao Min leaned down slightly and asked Chu Luren's upward-facing ear.

Chu Luren felt a tickle in his ears from her warm breath...

So, Chu Luren used his finger to seal her acupoints—and amidst Zhao Min's somewhat panicked expression, Chu Luren picked her up... laid her aside, and then returned to the bow of the boat to continue sleeping.

However, not long after lying down, Chu Luren seemed to realize something, got up again, went to the stern to take a look, and then went back to the bow to lie down again.

When Chu Luren returned to the bow of the ship, he found that Zhao Min was no longer on the deck. It was obvious that someone had released her acupoints. And there was only one person on the ship who could release the acupoints that Chu Luren had sealed!

The next day, Huang Rong discovered that one of the spare toilets was missing again...

Chu Luren estimated that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the toilet he threw away this time was not empty—while Zhao Min was flirting with him, Yaoyue had already completed her metabolism!

After all, Chu Luren hadn't mastered the "Mingyu Skill" and wasn't that perceptive...

Zhao Min's flattery this time was spot on!

"Oh dear! Brother Chu, another toilet fell over last night," Zhao Min said, feigning concern.

"Okay, let's use them sparingly from now on, we only have two left..."

Seeing that Yaoyue didn't react, as if he wasn't talking about her, Chu Luren added, "If there's only one, then I'll just have to use the same one too!"

“Your body can abstain from grains!” Yaoyue said.

"No, it's fine normally, but if I have to use my internal energy to control the boat every day, I won't be able to keep up..."

Inviting the Moon: ...
