Capítulo 36

Liu Youli was dumbfounded. Watching his underling still uncontrollably spraying water onto the bed, Liu Youli felt like a million horses were galloping through his heart. What the hell? What's going on? Do I have some kind of illness?

Liu Youli shuddered as his younger brother finished spitting out water. Looking at the bed again, there was a large, bright, slightly yellowish, and slightly foul-smelling wet stain.

Sun Yan lay by the bed and vomited for a long time, then ran to the bathroom to continue dry heaving.

After this incident, Liu Youli lost interest, put on his pants, and sat down on the living room sofa, lost in thought. About an hour later, Sun Yan emerged from the bathroom, her face pale. Upon entering the living room and seeing Liu Youli sitting on the sofa, Sun Yan's eyes blazed with anger: "Liu Youli, you better explain yourself, or you'll be sorry!"

Liu Youli looked embarrassed.

"This, this, Little Swallow, I, would you believe me if I said I didn't know what happened?"

"Bullshit! You can't even control your own little brother?!" Sun Yan was even angrier; this was clearly a lie.

"Damn it, what are you babbling about! If you could control who wets the bed, who would?" Liu Youli was also furious, his face turning black.

Sun Yan thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense. Liu Youli wasn't a child, so why would he wet the bed? Besides, they were having a passionate moment just now, so he couldn't have caused such a disturbance, could he? Thinking this, Sun Yan's anger subsided a bit, but she still sat down on the sofa with a dark face.

Liu Youli frowned, took out a cigarette and lit it: "I'm going to the hospital for a check-up this afternoon. What happened just now was too strange!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a heat in his nose, and then blood dripped down his mouth, splattering onto the ground like blood-red plum blossoms.

"Huh?" Liu Youli quickly covered his nose and then ran into the bathroom. Then the sound of running water came from the bathroom. Sun Yan, who was sitting next to him, was startled. When she saw the blood on the floor, her eyes suddenly stung and tears welled up and flowed down like two streams.

"Huh?" Sun Yan was puzzled. Liu Youli was just one of her lovers, and she had never really been serious about him. But why did she cry when she saw Liu Youli's nosebleed? Did she really love him that much?

Two minutes passed, the water in the bathroom was still running, and Sun Yan's tears still flowed uncontrollably.

Five minutes passed, and the toilet was still running with water. Sun Yan's tears flowed even more freely.

Ten minutes passed, and Sun Yan felt her lips were chapped and her skin was tight. She wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her face, but the water in the bathroom was still running.

"Old Liu? Old Liu?" Tears streamed down Sun Yan's face as she called out towards the bathroom. The bathroom was silent except for the sound of running water from the faucet.

"Old Liu!? Hey? Why aren't you saying anything?" Sun Yan continued to cry, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom. Never mind, she'd wash her face first.

The bathroom door was half-open, and through the crack, Sun Yan could see water flowing on the floor, with red streaks in it. "Huh? The water's overflowing and they're still letting it run?" Sun Yan pushed the door open.

The bathroom floor was covered in water, with countless red streaks mixed in. Liu Youli lay on the floor, his face still covered in red bloodstains, but he looked like a dried radish, shrunken several sizes, and resembled a thousand-year-old mummy.

"Ah!~" Sun Yan was instantly stunned, then screamed and sat down on the ground with a thud. At the same time, she noticed her nose was bleeding, and then sticky blood flowed from her eyes, ears, and mouth. The blood flowed quickly; in an instant, Sun Yan no longer had the strength to scream. She tried to crawl, but her body was completely powerless. Sun Yan watched her hands rapidly wither and shrivel, becoming skin and bones, before gradually sinking into darkness…

Ma Xiaoniu watched quietly from the balcony. Evil people, as long as they are evil, deserve to die.

Leave behind the demon logo, then teleport home.

...

Sitting on the living room sofa, Ma Xiaoniu fell into deep thought.

Currently, it's unknown when he'll reach level three, or what superpowers he'll gain. Therefore, Ma Xiaoniu is filled with anxiety. Every two days, the system issues a mission. While the current missions are simply killing someone, Ma Xiaoniu is only at level two. What if he reaches level three? Level four? Or even higher? Could he be expected to wipe out a village, a city, or even a country? What will he do then?!

Therefore, Ma Xiaoniu desperately wanted to find a way to fool the system, but as he said before, Ma Xiaoniu was currently helpless; he was merely a puppet of the system. However, Ma Xiaoniu believed there must be a skill that could fool the system, because since obtaining it, he had discovered that while the Demon System was powerful, it wasn't particularly intelligent. It was just a system.

Since acquiring the system, Ma Xiaoniu has gained five points of physique and three points of energy, completely surpassing the average person. He estimates his current physical abilities are comparable to those of MMA boxers. However, it seems that so far, the system's rewards have only been limited to physique and energy, with nothing else. Whether there will be other rewards in the future is uncertain.

I checked my watch; it was past noon. I posted Liu Youli's case on the Demon Forum and shut down my laptop. After eating, Ma Xiaoniu vanished in an instant.

On a small island in the South China Sea, the sand is snow-white, the waves crash against the shore, and the air is filled with the rich scent of the sea. For those with water manipulation abilities, the ocean is undoubtedly the most suitable place to unleash them.

With a thought, the seawater, like a torn blue cloth, gradually submerged Ma Xiao Niu. As he went deeper, the seawater formed a circle four meters in diameter around him, beyond which lay the endless ocean. Ma Xiao Niu opened a small opening at the top of the circle, controlling the seawater to form a two-centimeter-diameter pipe leading directly to the surface. This way, no matter how long Ma Xiao Niu stayed in the ocean, he wouldn't lack oxygen.

As for the mud beneath their feet, that's even simpler. Just squeeze out the water, and the mud instantly becomes dry soil. That's how domineering the system's ability is; there are absolutely no other requirements, you just need to want it.

Beyond the circular space, in the clear blue water, countless colorful fish swam gently, occasionally releasing a string of bubbles from their mouths. The seascape was breathtaking, with towering, uniquely shaped rocks, majestic mountains, and deep trenches. Corals of every color vied for attention, and together with a diverse array of marine life, creating a truly magnificent sight. If the water were drained, the underwater landscape would be even more majestic and spectacular than that of the land.

A grouper swam outside the circular space, occasionally glaring at the calf inside.

"Oh ho? You dare to glare at me?" With a thought, Ma Xiaoniu instantly immobilized the grouper. The seawater pushed the grouper into the space, where it fell to the seabed with a splash.

The grouper was stunned. It vigorously swung its tail and soon jumped back into the seawater, flicking its tail and quickly slithering away.

Continuing forward, Ma Xiaoniu unknowingly walked a considerable distance. Observing his surroundings, he realized he seemed to have entered a trench. The trench was quite wide, roughly estimated to be over ten meters across. The ground of the trench was covered with scattered rocks and was rugged and uneven. Ma Xiaoniu did not use teleportation to travel; he wanted to walk step by step, as that would be more enjoyable.

After struggling to climb over a small hill in the trench, I looked ahead and saw that about a hundred meters ahead, the trench curved. After walking for a few more minutes, I rounded the bend, and suddenly a huge shipwreck appeared in front of me. The shipwreck lay diagonally on the seabed, dark and menacing, like a monster.

The shipwreck was completely covered by marine plants and the like, but you could still tell it was a ship from its shape. The ship was very large; Ma Xiaoniu estimated it to be about four or five hundred meters long and more than one hundred meters wide.

Intrigued, Ma Xiaoniu quickly walked forward. The shipwreck was quite high; even lying at an angle on the seabed, it was probably a hundred meters tall. However, due to the passage of time, a large opening had formed at the bottom of the wreck. The opening was about five or six meters in diameter, enough for Ma Xiaoniu to easily walk inside. It was very dark inside, and he could barely see anything. Ma Xiaoniu took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. The light illuminated the surroundings, revealing the interior of the ship.

This seemed to be a small room used for storing miscellaneous items. There were some ropes piled up inside, but they had long since rotted away. The door to the small room was still intact. Gently pushing the door open, Ma Xiaoniu entered a corridor. The corridor was long, but the range illuminated by the phone's light was limited. Beyond two meters, it was pitch black, and no one could see anything.

Ma Xiaoniu walked down the corridor with his phone in hand. After a few steps, he saw another room right next to the small room he had just entered. The door to this room was tightly closed. Opposite this room was another room. Ma Xiaoniu surmised that there must be many rooms along both sides of this corridor.

===Chapter Thirty-Four===

Gently pushing open the door, Ma Xiaoniu shone his phone inside. The room was a mess, with things scattered haphazardly on the floor. Upon closer inspection, Ma Xiaoniu found they were bowls, chopsticks, a table, and other items, all covered in a thick layer of green seaweed. Ma Xiaoniu went inside, picked up a bowl, and cleaned away the seaweed. It was a celadon porcelain bowl with a lotus flower on the outside. Turning it over, he saw two characters on the bottom: "Da Yu."

"Da Yu? What does that mean?" Ma Xiaoniu hadn't researched this and couldn't tell which dynasty it belonged to. However, he was certain that these items were extremely valuable.

He continued examining the other porcelain items, including bowls and plates, all bearing the characters "Da Yu" on the bottom. He picked one up and casually put it into his backpack before continuing to explore the other rooms.

The room opposite the porcelain shop was also piled high with bowls and chopsticks. It seemed this ship might have been an ancient vessel used to transport porcelain. Sure enough, the next few rooms were filled with porcelain, mostly bowls and plates, with a few oddly shaped pieces. One room was filled with milky-white porcelain vases with slender necks and large bellies. However, many were broken; only a few were relatively well-preserved, and because they were as tall as an adult, they were inconvenient to carry. But as long as I remember this place, I can come back another time.

Walking to the end of the corridor, Ma Xiaoniu had inspected forty or fifty rooms, most of which were filled with porcelain dishes and bowls. At the end of the corridor, there was a spiral staircase leading to the upper floor, but due to years of being submerged in water, the staircase was completely rotten and impossible to climb. Ma Xiaoniu had a thought and teleported to the top of the staircase. This floor also had a straight corridor. It seemed that this was roughly the structure of the ship: each floor had a corridor with rooms on both sides.

Upon entering the first room in the corridor, Ma Xiaoniu's eyes were met with rows of neatly arranged boxes. The boxes were rectangular, about half a person's height, and their original color was no longer discernible. They were secured with padlocks, though the padlocks had rotted away into solid copper lumps. Over the years, the boxes had decayed so much that the padlocks would easily fall off with a light touch. Opening a box revealed several porcelain jars inside. The water inside was dark and murky, and a faint aroma of tea wafted out.

It seems this layer contains tea leaves? If it is tea leaves, then it's probably not very valuable. Even the best tea leaves would be ruined after being soaked in seawater for so long.
