17 Blood Painting

A woman's face was drawn on the snow-white paper. Her face was strange, with a gloomy sneer on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of provocation.

What's even more strange is that this painting was painted with a brush dipped in human blood, and the blood stains on it have not dried yet.

Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu came over and saw it, and were stunned, "This..."

"The corpse demon came on the boat." I looked at them, "This painting was left by her."

"What does she mean?" Ke'er frowned.

"She wants to tell us that she cannot kill her." I looked at the painting in my hand, "We just killed her demon body, and her other demon body came to the ship."

"She is provoking!" Ke'er sneered.

"Since she is here, why only one painting is left?" Aunt Jiu was puzzled.

"Yes," Uncle Jiu couldn't understand, "Why did she only leave one painting?"

I thought about it and folded the blood painting, "Go in and talk."

"Okay!" said Uncle Jiu.

We walked into the cabin together and came to the conference room. Jin Zimi sent someone to send a pot of tea and closed the door.

After sitting down, I asked Jin Zimi, “Where did you find this painting?”

"In the cockpit", Jin Zimei poured tea for us and sat down, "Before you and Miss Ke'er came back, I was with Mr. Jiu and Aunt Shen. I just left for a while and went to the cockpit to look at the charts. After reading it, I turned around and found this painting on the table behind me."

"Did anyone see it?" I asked.

"No," she shook her head, "After I discovered this painting, I left the cockpit and went to find you."

"Yeah", I nodded, picked up the tea, and took a light sip.

"Wu Zheng, what does she mean?" Uncle Jiu asked, "When I came to the boat, I did nothing, just leave a painting?"

Aunt Jiu also looked at me and waited for my answer.

"This corpse monster is very confident and has a deep obsession," I said, "Miss Jin's ancestor Jin Aeri violated the contract and refused to sacrifice his children. The corpse monster was furious and sank nine cargo ships of the Jin family within half a month. Now she broke the seal, so she used the same trick again, wanting to sank the Jin family's cargo ship first, and then go to the South China Sea to kill the Jin family's people. She was originally coming to our ship, but because we were ready, she attacked the Tianze."

I looked at them, "Fortunately we arrived in time and stopped her."

"Is the Tenze a good deal now?" Jin Zimei asked quickly.

"It's okay," Keer said, "those crew members will wake up in a while, and they will go back by themselves."

"That's good..." Jin Zimei was ashamed, "It's all my fault. I almost implicated Tianze. Fortunately, you are there..."

"Wu Zheng, continue talking," said Uncle Jiu.

Jin Zimei was very embarrassed. She let out a soft sigh, looked at me with a red face, and continued to listen.

"We just killed her demon body." I looked at the painting, "I just killed one, and the other came to the ship and left this painting. She wanted to warn us not to act rashly, and she is back."

"Since she has come, why didn't she do anything and just leave a painting?" Uncle Jiu still didn't understand.

"It's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's that she can't do it," I said, "Her demon body has come alive, but its strength is very weak, and she needs time to recover. So even if she comes to the boat, she can't do anything. She can only leave a secondary painting and warn us for a while."

"So that's what it is..." They got it.

I looked at the painting in my hand and suddenly felt a sudden change in my heart, "No, she didn't mean that!"

"What do you say?" Ke'er asked.

I glanced at her, "She was afraid that we would go to the underwater temple overnight..."

"But we can't go even if we want to," Keer was puzzled, "It's still two days and one night..."

I didn't say anything and took a sip of tea calmly.

Ke'er suddenly understood, "I understand, she is worried about Ye Qian!"

I nodded.

"Ye Qian?" Uncle and Aunt Jiu looked at each other and asked in unison, "What are you talking about is Ye Qian, the granddaughter of your Ye family's grandfather?"

"We were plotted by the corpse demon under the water of Tianze. They were all injured and fainted." I said, "It was Ye Qian who rescued us, and the corpse demon must have seen it."

"Who is this Ye Qian?" Jin Zimei couldn't help asking, "How could she be on the Tianze?"

Uncle Jiu glanced at her, "Miss Jin, it's getting late, you go back and rest."

Jin Zimei understood and stood up, "Okay, then I'll go back first. Mr. Jiu, Mr. Wu Zheng, Aunt Chen, Miss Keer, you guys have trouble."

"Okay", we said in unison.

She filled me with tea, put down the teapot, turned around and walked out of the conference room, and gently brought the door to us.

Aunt Jiu turned around and asked me, "Wu Zheng, what's going on?"

"We were trapped in the water by the corpse demon and were knocked out by three giant water beasts." I said, "Later Ye Qian came, and she rescued us on the deck with the Divine Foot Pass. An Yu was frightened at that time, but fortunately she was in danger. We just fainted and were not seriously injured."

"Then how are you now?" she asked quickly.

"Don't worry, it's okay!" Ke'er said.

Aunt Jiu then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if it's okay..."

"The girl from the Ye family is about the same age as An Yu," Uncle Jiu wondered, "Are you able to have the power of magic at such a young age?"

"The Lin family and the Ye family are both good at supernatural powers," said Aunt Jiu, "Ye Qian should be nineteen years old this year, and now she has supernatural powers. It seems that this child's talent is not ordinary."

"Yes," Uncle Ninth sighed, "The three families have only one daughter, and the fifth brother gave birth to a son like Wu Zheng. Dad had long said that these four children are of high-quality talent and are not ordinary people. An Yu learned all the eighteen sacrifices at the age of seventeen, and Wu Zheng started his own business at the age of fourteen. From this perspective, it is normal for Ye Qian to have the power of magic at the age of nineteen."

He looked at me, "Wu Zheng, how about that child Ye Qian?"

"Uh..." My face heated up, "It's pretty good..."

He glanced at me meaningfully and said nothing.

"If the corpse demon sees Ye Qian's magical power, it will be normal for her to be afraid," said Aunt Jiu, "If Ye Qian can rescue you, she can take you directly into the underwater temple. She is afraid that you will destroy her body overnight, so she came to this ship and left this painting."

"She wanted to warn us that she had recovered and would attack this ship at any time, so that we should not act rashly," said Uncle Jiu.

Aunt Jiu nodded and looked at me, "Wu Zheng, is that right?"

"That's it." I looked at them and then Keer, "We have to re-plan."
