Capítulo 1489: Chapter 5: Mind-Numbing Maneuvers

Perhaps it was the first time he heard discontent in that cold voice. Mu Fan’s eyes showed a trace of warmth as he turned to see the defiant Lu Qingxue looking up at him.

“Everything ahead is unknown. The hope might be less than one in ten thousand, and we might even perish in the Star Sea. I can’t joke around with your lives.”

Mu Fan’s voice was sincere, but at that moment, Lu Qingxue quietly blinked her shimmering eyes, her thin lips pressed together.

Clearly, a Valkyrie with a delicate face and cold elegance, was now unexpectedly showing a trace of a little woman’s sulkiness.

Lu Qingxue frowned at Mu Fan, all her discontent clearly written on her exquisite face.

She was expressing her unhappiness in this way.

Yet, Mu Fan was most vulnerable to Lu Qingxue like this.

Because she heard everything he said, but she simply didn’t respond.

In those cold eyes, his reflection was mirrored, and the light in her pupils fluctuated with his words.

But… she just wouldn’t say a word!

When Lu Qingxue was stubborn, she was even more so than him.

This made it impossible for him to persuade.

Especially as Mu Fan and Lu Qingxue locked eyes, he saw the Valkyrie’s exquisite little teeth biting her lower lip.

Lu Qingxue seemed even angrier, yet still said nothing.

Her skin, white with a hint of red, exuded a faint, snow-lotus-like fragrance.

Being with such a stunning beauty should have been a delightful experience, but at this moment, Mu Fan felt his head spinning!

“I…” Mu Fan’s lips moved, hand ready to raise.

“Hmph.” A disgruntled nasal sound like an ice bead falling on a jade plate, Lu Qingxue turned her head away, revealing her graceful, fair neck.

…

“Where’s Mu Fan… Mu Fan… Damn it, what is this dragon doing!”

White Hair had just finished off the fatty in ten rounds and ran to the bridge to discuss the battle plan just relayed by Qi Longxiang with Mu Fan.

So many battle plans, it’s time to decide which to follow given the current circumstances, right?

But as soon as White Hair entered the top floor of the bridge, the first thing he saw wasn’t the command cabin door ahead, but through the full-length window, the Mechanical Giant Dragon [Evil Wing] peering out from the lower-level warehouse.

At that moment, the dragon seemed afraid of being seen, even raising a wing to cover its face, while its massive head was nearly pressed against the window.

Perhaps the dragon thought its actions were flawless, that no one saw.

But in White Hair’s eyes, this damn…

You’d have to be blind not to see it!

Was this dragon peeping?

It even knew to cover its face with a wing.

Did this dumb dragon really have no sense of its body size?

Such a huge dragon head, and it was using a wing to block light, nearly blocking off the right side of the circular corridor.

Should he praise this dragon for getting smarter, or call it dumber?

Perhaps [Evil Wing] was too focused on peeping, or maybe White Hair’s movements were too subtle when he arrived, but before White Hair shouted, the dragon hadn’t realized its rear was exposed.

And after White Hair’s exclamation…

[Evil Wing]’s gigantic body suddenly jerked as if to leap up, resulting in its neck raising.

Bang!

The dragon’s head and the ceiling had a close encounter.

Due to the excessive speed, even the super precision steel ceiling of the Dawn Battleship bore a faint outline.

“Ow!!”

[Evil Wing]’s head bounced back hard, hitting the ground.

The dragon let out a wail, using its wings to support its body, rolling and scrambling towards the warehouse entrance beside it.

With a loud boom.

The dragon fell from the top level bridge to the fifty-meter deck below, creating a huge echo.

White Hair stared dumbfounded at the astonishingly spectacle retreat action, his chest heaving uncontrollably.

“…An operation that defies common sense…”

At that moment, the cabin door opened, and White Hair’s dazed eyes met the two inside.

Mu Fan and Lu Qingxue looked at White Hair.

Just as Mu Fan was puzzled about how to explain himself, the series of noises outside finally provided him a distraction.

“Just now… what happened?”

Mu Fan asked in confusion.

White Hair opened his mouth, unsure where to start, first pointing at the door, then at the ceiling, then the now-closed warehouse floor door.

He suddenly realized that perhaps the dumbest one was himself… that stupid dragon had clearly even mapped out its escape route.

“That dragon was peeping!… Yes, just now it had its head pressed against the glass, looking inside.” White Hair felt he deserved a hundred points for his cleverness at blaming the dragon, a near-perfect excuse.

The air instantly grew a bit tense.

Mu Fan blinked, unable to react immediately to White Hair’s wildly expansive response.

That dragon?

[Evil Wing] was this smart?

Mu Fan’s first reaction was surprisingly this, lacking any sense of crisis.

However, beside him, Lu Qingxue’s flawless skin began to take on a faint blush.

The little daughter’s demeanor just now had been seen by a Mechanical Dragon…

The handsome Yin, with his visual neural auxiliary chip implanted, instantly picked up on this.

[Damn, is there a situation? That… stupid dragon!]

So, no sooner said than done, White Hair suddenly pointed to the ceiling.

“Look, that’s the mark it left when I caught it trying to escape.”

The two followed White Hair’s finger, seeing a faint outline.

That unique dragon head shape…

Throughout Shadow Island, apart from [Evil Wing] itself, there was no other possible culprit.

“Evil Wing… aren’t you going to come explain yourself?”

Mu Fan’s voice was icy, turning his indifferent gaze to the side, where the light screen instantly activated.

Clearly, Black sold out its teammate without hesitation.

It would never admit that it had incited the curious giant dragon.

The screen displayed.

A Mechanical Giant Dragon huddled tightly in the spacious top-level warehouse.

With massive wings covering its sides, it held its head tightly.

“YIUY#￥@……”

A string of indecipherable obscure waves came through.

“Don’t know, don’t know, I didn’t see anything.” Black eagerly translated for Mu Fan, even syncing the dragon’s panicked tone with the translation.

Instantly, Mu Fan’s face turned dark.

And Lu Qingxue’s gaze grew colder, looking at Mu Fan.

The beauty unusually had a bit of shy anger…

After giving Mu Fan a meaningful, slightly threatening look that only he could understand, Lu Qingxue walked away with a frosty expression.

Suddenly White Hair felt he was an exceptionally bright third wheel.

The timing wasn’t quite right, and the atmosphere… really wasn’t harmonious…

Should he think about… slipping away first?

“What’s the matter?”

Mu Fan’s voice dragged White Hair back to reality from his imaginary world.

“Well… I… hahaha.”

“The moon’s really round today.”

White Hair coughed, looking to the side, outside the circular glass, into the deep, clear universe.

Mu Fan only felt like his intelligence was being ruthlessly crushed.

“There’s no…” He decided to deal with White Hair first, then find that dumb dragon.

“Wait, what’s that!?”

White Hair’s voice suddenly rose sharply.
