When Bright Moon Encounter the Dark Clouds

Chapter 89: Wu Yu 12 (1)

The following day and night were peaceful on the ship. Only the weather somewhat worried me. It had been raining continuously for the whole night, and even during the day it would drizzle sometimes. The passengers complained a lot about this, as the clouds blocked off the scenery on both sides. However, even though there were many that complained, no one talked about getting off the ship. After all, the ship had gone somewhere uninhabited.

I went to the captain about this, but the captain seemed confident. Dont worry, young man. Theres a huge dam downstream that regulates the water. Ive seen worse weather and gone through them without a problem.

His explanation seemed logical, and there did not seem to be anything to worry about. However, Tan Jiao and I knew that something abnormal would surely happen.

Yet, none of us could have imagined how this mysterious force would appear before us. That was also my first time witnessing the power of nature.

On the second evening, the ship came to a plateau lake. The sky was unexpectedly clear, making the trip seem unusually peaceful. My mood also became somewhat relaxed.

The ship arrived before the grassy plains, and a guide brought us down, introducing the place proudly. This place is totally undeveloped. A primitive plain untouched by civilization...

I helped Wu Miao down the ship while Tan Jiao followed behind us. When Wu Miao got down, I put out my hand toward Tan Jiao. She ignored my hand and stepped off the ship with one step. Then a smile formed on her lips as she went to Wu Miao.

I could only follow behind them, watching her.

Ah Yu Chen Ruying called out to me from not far away. Her pace hastened, seemingly to catch up to me.

I ignored her and walked faster as well.

After we got off, everyone spread out across the plains.

I had to say that the scenery here was truly breathtaking. The mountains around us were all unique and beautifully carved by nature. It was as though some powerful being in the universe had hidden his prized artwork here. The water in the lake was blue and clear. It was not the blue we see from the ocean, but rather a sort of peaceful blue.

The grassland was vast and endless. We were surrounded by green, blue, red, and yellow. All of these colors were pure. It was so pure that it made the place look extremely peaceful. This really seemed like a place that no one had discovered yet.

Those birds were also here.

They flew above the lake, neither looking at Tan Jiao or me, nor at Yan Yuan or Zhu Jirui who were not far from us. The birds did not seem to recognize us and did not fly together in groups like they did in the future. I stared at them for a while, and when I turned to Tan Jiao, I saw her standing there looking at them as well.

I sat down beside the lake and started smoking. I had bought the cigarettes on the ship. When Wu Miao came to me, she exclaimed, Brother, youre smoking! Seriously?! Ill tell mom about this!

I let out a chuckle and said, Its none of your business. I didnt tell mom about you reading romance novels. Wu Miao immediately kept quiet after that.

Tan Jiao was with Wu Miao, and she still did not look at me. At some point in time, the two of them had taken off their shoes and were walking on the sandy shore beside the lake. With the sun in my face, I squinted and looked at them.

Compared to Wu Miao who constantly moved about, looking left and right like a hyperactive child, Tan Jiao seemed to be simply enjoying the walk. The sun shone on her shiny, silky black hair. She had on a seemingly soft t-shirt matched with a black short skirt. She looked so plain, yet my gaze could not move away from her. After the skirt was her legs, those beautiful slender legs that looked angelic.

I had noticed them very early on.
