Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"Thank you so much." Li Ang exclaimed.

"No way. You're going to fight in the dangerous shipyard. This is all I can do."

Neil smiled, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"The Chief Engineer just called you to grab the activation mechanism?"

The young man asked frankly.

Since he asked this, it meant that Locke's idea was no secret to a certain extent, at least not among the engineers around him, so Leon nodded in acknowledgment.

"We've already made this proposal!"

Neil pounded his palm in surprise and looked at Li Ang with hope: "But the great engineer must walk on the most righteous path, and we can't say anything. Besides, we don't have enough power, let alone enough benefits to persuade the team, and we can't bear the impact that will be caused by the incident.

"Ah, while the Imperial invasion is a bad thing, taking advantage of the opportunity to achieve this goal is also good."

Neil was full of anticipation for the ancient ship to take off.

Li Ang was silent for a few seconds. If this ancient giant ship really had powerful weapons like the blueprint, then after taking off, it would indeed be able to fight against super-veiled monster-level existences, but the participants in this battle would not only be the destruction warships.

I hope the ancient battleship is strong enough to deal with everything.

Li Ang raised his head and looked at his own boat thoughtfully.

"rest assured."

Neil noticed his gaze and said, "I will definitely give it the most perfect foundation, enough to accompany your Star Flower Brigade to the end of the sky."

Li Ang stretched out his hand, shook hands vigorously with the young man, and left the slipway.

On the way, he met the girls who were looking for him. He entered Locke's studio and left in a hurry, so they didn't wait for him, so they came to look for him.

"Go back first, there's something important to do."

Seeing that Leon was very serious, the girls followed him obediently back to the rest room on the giant ship.

They had all trained separately and were covered in sweat and hadn't had time to wash off, so Li Ang asked them to go clean up first and just brought up the topic they wanted to discuss.

"It's time to officially name our ship."

"Great!"

The girls cheered, and Leon noticed that apart from the three problematic guys, Farina and Meimei were also looking forward to it.

He didn't quite understand what Meimei was expecting, but he didn't try to spoil the little girl's joy.

When the girls all went back to their rooms, only Zoe was left hesitantly.

"what are you waiting for?"

Xiaomao sat down, took off both shoes one by one and held them in his hands, then raised the soles of his feet wearing thin black socks to Leon.

"..."

Li Ang hesitated for a moment, then slapped her on the forehead.

"Ouch?! Why did you hit me?"

"What the hell are you doing?! Go take a shower right now."

Zoe covered her forehead with her hand, her face full of confusion.

"Strange, the protagonist in that book turned into a beast immediately after seeing this move, why didn't Leon transform?"

"That's not about transformation! Get back here!"

Li Ang slapped her elastic butt in annoyance and drove her back into the house.

335. Naming the Ship

Phew, that was a close call. Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief.

He clutched his aching left arm.

It’s all because of this devil’s curse, it almost caused chaos.

He also returned to the room and quickly washed off the sweat on his body. Although there was a bathroom in the shipyard dormitory, it was difficult for Leon to undress and clean himself without worry. Besides, he had not had a moment of leisure since entering the shipyard. The shower took a little longer than expected because Leviathan had been making trouble next to him and laughing in the mental link.

"Stop it."

Humph, who told Li Ang to leave me alone and go? Did he really treat me as an ordinary pet?

Of course not. This time I defeated the enemy with the help of your familiar. It was all thanks to you.

Li Ang praised her repeatedly to coax her and finally let her let him go.

However, after leaving the room, she clung to his shoulders and refused to leave.

Back in the lounge, the girls hadn't come out yet. Li Ang sat for a while, and the pain in his arm became more obvious.

It's endless, right?

His right hand pinched a particularly conspicuous red thorn on his left arm, and he really had the urge to pull it out.

Leviathan saw his movements over his shoulder and let out a suppressed hissing dragon roar.

Ominous things, eradicate, eradicate...

She was the ancestor of dragons and perhaps had fought against demons, but her newly awakened mind was unable to mobilize those profound ancient secrets.

According to his plan, once the ship was built, he would head for the Land of All Spirits, and he would have the crew temporarily wait for him in Thousand Towers City under the care of Farina. On the way, they would pass by volcanoes and the ancient kingdom of Lupus, an inland island, and also visit the object of Mote's commission. If the influence of demonic power became more and more profound, would they head there without hesitation?

There was a big war with the empire before that, I hope there won’t be any complications.

Li Ang looked at the devil's hand, his mind full of thoughts, and gradually he became lost in thought.

Your idea was wrong from the beginning. You know, the devil has mastered spiritual manipulation methods that are beyond human comprehension, far beyond what the so-called land of reincarnation can bring you.

"That's hard to say."

Don't be afraid. Look directly into your heart. That's where true power lies. You know it clearly. When you cast aside those worldly constraints, no one can limit your violent power. The previous battle with the old enemy proved it all. No, with your current strength, it was just friction.

How much have you changed? You have only mastered what you should master, just like a beast with wings.

Stop hiding from your true desires, whether it's violence or reproduction...

"Shut up. Failure to restrain oneself will lead to destruction. They also have a dangerous side, a power that could spiral out of control."

Really? You know, that was just your true desire, from the very beginning. From the very first contact, your eyes were not pure. You liked everything about her that was beautiful, including her legs that emitted strong biological signals.

"Don't talk nonsense. I won't do anything like confusing toys with food or food with toys."

You know better than anything else why you picked up that poor little guy and brought him with you.

"It was clearly my sense of justice and empathy that prevented me from persisting with my original purpose of establishing the Reliable Air Cavalry, not any ulterior motives."

Hypocritical fellow, only I know your true colors. Is this a reliable leader who is half-heartedly giving in to their demands? Tear off your disguise.

"It won't be long before I chop you off, and then all your nonsense will be completely silenced."

You cannot give it up, this is your strength, the true echo in your heart, you -

"who are you talking to?"

Meimei's voice sounded behind Leon. The girl's light voice brought him back to reality from his trance, and Leviathan's anxious and threatening hissing sound re-entered his ears.

He just lost consciousness. Was it a dream? Or was he really talking to something unknown?

Stroking Leviathan's chin, Xiaolong looked at him and thought he should be fine, so he lay on top of his head with peace of mind.

"Why did you come out first?"

Li Ang looked at the girl who was wiping her wet white hair with a towel.

"You shower really quickly."

"I'm different from them," the white-haired girl raised her chin proudly, "I'm the darling of water. Cleaning is done in a flash."

"alright."

"So who are you talking to?"

Meimei looked at Li Ang's left arm suspiciously, and hesitated.

"Are you stuck in the transformation process?"

"Transformation process?"

"These are people from our faction who battle against demons and gradually become demonized. It's said that their transformation begins when they hear the whispers of demons."

Meimei stepped over to Li Ang's hand and examined it carefully. "The sealing technique given by Lord Dragon God should be fine. Those people often willingly embrace the power of the devil, or without this sealing method, they cannot escape the devil's curse even if their limbs are cut off."

"I've always had a question," Leon said. "Although transformation into a demon is a cursed state, shouldn't the demonic curse itself have more directions?"

If we classify them all as curses, the curse on Leon and the blood suppression of the Yunxiang tribe should both be considered demonic curses.

"There are indeed differences. Some cause delayed death or disability. The most cruel ones are those that twist their bodies into strange shapes but prevent them from dying. Yours is considered advanced, which proves that the demons believe you are worthy of becoming one of their kind."

He hadn't had the chance to ask Meimei or Meluna about anything before. Although her reply didn't surprise Leon, it still made him feel a little complicated.

"Do you think I'm qualified to be a devil?" Leon smiled bitterly.

"Of course, even if you weren't covered in thorns, you'd still be a demon! Be careful!"

The white-haired girl put her hands on her hips and said, "I will keep an eye on you. If you show any signs of becoming a demon, I will kill you without mercy."

"Want to kill me again?"

After Li Ang finished speaking, he saw Meimei suddenly startled and quickly took two steps back, as if she was suffering from some kind of post-traumatic stress.

"I'm not saying I'll kill you now! I'm talking about later... No, not later, it's just a possibility!"

Seeing that Li Ang was calm and not angry, she also lowered her guard and tilted her head: "When you were at the shipyard...did you become closer with the black-haired guy?"

"No."

"Then how did she get so close to you? She was standing next to you so naturally during the meeting just now?"

"Of course, since I'm going to follow her anyway, I might as well make more use of her strength to make up for my previous efforts."

"Eh--"

The little girl deliberately dragged out her clear voice, obviously trying to provoke.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Can you help me think of a name for my boat?"

"W-what do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

"That's you and your shameless crew's ship. What does it have to do with me? Do you think..."

"Aren't you a passenger? We've been through a lot together. We're just brainstorming and soliciting opinions. Maybe we can get some good ideas."

Li Ang looked at Meimei with a strange expression. Unable to bear his gaze, the girl stamped her feet twice and asked, "Why are you so eager to become famous? Are you afraid of destroying the battleship and want to escape?"

Li Ang seemed to be thinking about it and did not comment.

"Look, you're silent now, that means I guessed it right."

Seeing that Li Ang had no intention of taking action, Meimei's voice became louder and louder: "Talking about this makes you embarrassed. I still care more about you and Meluna. Uh, I'm talking about that Meluna, you know. You should face Zhenxin honestly and think about what you experienced with her in the past."

"Meimei."

Li Ang called the girl calmly.

"Is it too much for you, old man, to admit that I still have feelings for her?"

The smile on the white-haired girl's face suddenly froze.

"Why were you so angry when you attacked me? Because I mistook you for her. I think you should know best whether my anger is real or fake."

The conflict caused by misunderstanding in the Storm Sword Domain at that time was tacitly not mentioned by both of them. When Li Ang brought it up, Meimei's face immediately turned red as if it was on fire and she stammered, unable to speak.

She gritted her teeth and whispered, "You're a complete pervert! So is she! That's why you're, ah! So hateful! A normal person would kill me, right? And you say you don't have any old feelings? You've just become a pervert!"

"Even if there really was any lingering feelings, they were completely destroyed by your temptations. Now I'm just exhausted."

Li Ang leaned back in his chair, not looking at her anymore, and the topic ended for the time being.

Farina opened the door first, and the others came out one after another. The last one was Meluna, and she was the one who looked the most unrecognizable.

Farina, who was standing next to her, saw that her curly black hair was still dripping with water. She glanced at Leon, and seeing that he was unmoved, she smiled and shook her head, then took out a towel to help her dry it.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Ang high-fived and said, "Well, everyone, please tell me your ideal ship name. Let's get some feedback. If there are multiple names that everyone agrees on, we can put them to a vote."

"But An is not here." Alulu immediately thought of her absent companions and "allies".
