"Alright, let's consider this matter settled," Xiao Hei said. Upon hearing that Zhu Xiaohong could see through illusions, Mo Wen furrowed his brow and paused momentarily.
"Is something wrong, Young Master?" Zhu Xiaohong noticed the slight change in Mo Wen's demeanor. She was quite curious about this disheveled man who looked like a beggar.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just remembered something. Let's go, Miss Zhu!" Was this woman using some skill to look at him? The thought sent a chill down Mo Wen's spine, and he resolved to be more cautious around her; she was too perceptive.
...
"Young Master, where are we headed?" Zhu Xiaohong stepped out of the cabin and saw the boat turning back into the depths of the Lava Sea, frowning slightly.
"Oh, Miss Zhu, we're just going to retrieve something. It won't take more than a day. You should rest in the cabin; there's a Magic Circle inside," Mo Wen explained. The "something" he referred to was naturally the collection of treasures from the Lava Sea gang.
"Could you tell me what we're retrieving?" Curious about what Mo Wen meant by "something," Zhu Xiaohong wondered if that guy had hidden something along the way.
"Hehe, I was actually going to tell you. We've discovered a pirate treasure and are just turning back to collect it," Mo Wen said cheerfully, imagining that the collection from the Lava Sea gang would be quite impressive.
"Pirate treasure?" Zhu Xiaohong found it somewhat difficult to communicate with this man, but the idea of pirate treasure intrigued her. She decided to sit down and listen more closely.
"Oh, if you don't know about pirate treasures, let me tell you..." As he steered the boat, Mo Wen began recounting tales of pirate treasures—not those of the Lava Sea gang, but stories from his own memories.
"Wow! That means there must be many treasures!" After hearing Mo Wen's story, Zhu Xiaohong displayed her youthful excitement and was thoroughly amazed.
"Uh... the place we're going might not have that many," Mo Wen realized he might have exaggerated his story a bit and quickly added a disclaimer to avoid any awkwardness. What made him feel awkward now was Zhu Xiaohong's transformation—from a cold woman seeking death to a lively girl; the contrast was quite striking.
"Miss Zhu has probably seen plenty of treasures while following your father in Nameless Town," Mo Wen suggested, feeling that chatting with her was somewhat awkward and deciding to change the subject.
"I have seen quite a few... but my father never lets me go out alone. Even when I go out for training, he always accompanies me." After shifting topics, Zhu Xiaohong's face lit up with excitement as she recounted various treasures she had seen. However, all those were within Huo Lou; she had never ventured out herself. Speaking of her father made her visibly upset. While having a powerful father was enviable, it seemed inappropriate for him not to allow his child to experience adventures and challenges. After listening to Zhu Xiaohong's account, Mo Wen felt even more awkward and didn't know how to respond.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh at me," Zhu Xiaohong said with a gentle smile upon noticing Mo Wen's evident discomfort.
"Uh... Miss Zhu, please forgive me. I don't have similar experiences, so I'm not sure if your father's restrictions are appropriate," Mo Wen thought he should have kept quiet instead of engaging in such idle chatter that left them both feeling awkward.
