Right after Higan's words subsided, Liszt furrowed his brows.
Lancaster was slightly shocked, but when he looked at Higan, he seemed to have thought of something and quickly returned to normal.
On the other hand, the other young captains felt like they were being toyed with, so all of them showed an indignant expression.
The funny thing was, Higan's face seemed to have the ability to restrain people. She could restrain their anger, complaints, hatred, and all sorts of negative emotions.
The young captains did not seem to have the strength to resist her, so even though they were indignant, all they could do was turn their heads away.
"If Tang Ling isn't here, I don't think there's a need to continue this meeting," said Liszt.
No matter what Higan looked like, he was not attracted to her at all. In his heart, all he wanted was to achieve something dazzling in the Death Mist Zone. Since Tang Ling wasn't here, what reason did he have to waste his time here?
Higan did not care about Liszt. At that moment, her attention seemed to be attracted by her nails. She was concentrating on her nails.
Liszt had a high position in the young captains' hearts. Some of the young captains even thought that he was higher than Tang Ling.
Now that Liszt had spoken, the other young captains were eager to make a move, especially the young man who was talked to by Higan at the start. He followed Liszt's lead and said, "Indeed, now that the Death Mist Zone has formed, I think we should …"
As he spoke, he stood up. Liszt took a deep breath and seemed like he was ready to stand up as well. Even the other young captains had the intention to leave, except for Lancaster.
It was then that Higan finally sighed softly. She moved her gaze away from her nails and raised a brow. "I think Tang Ling is too dazzling."
"What do you mean?" The young captain who stood up first did not understand why Higan would say such a strange thing at a time like this.
Higan suddenly smiled. There was no emotion in her smile, but it felt like a precious flower that had been protected for thousands of years in a quiet valley had suddenly bloomed. Everyone was stunned. Even Liszt, who had no interest in Higan's beauty, could not help but praise her beauty in his heart. "She's really beautiful!"
After all, putting aside personal feelings, humans had a common perception of beauty.
Amidst the smile, Higan raised her right hand. Her fingertips moved as if there was a pool of flowing water rumbling in her palm.
The wind began to blow, causing the black cloth around the hull to flutter loudly.
A silent, oppressive, and dangerous aura began to rise.
"I like Tang Ling a lot. I'm happy that all of you think so." When Tang Ling's name was mentioned, Higan's eyes shone as if a beautiful sculpture came back to life.
It would not be a problem for her to say that she liked Tang Ling.
But in the next moment, the wind in the cabin suddenly became urgent, swirling around everyone.
Higan retracted her fingers and said, "But I hope all of you won't forget about me because of Tang Ling's dazzling performance."
Higan's tone turned soft and mysterious as if she was trying to provoke Tang Ling. The dark, icy abyss in her eyes turned colder. "Who am I?"
"Queen." Lancaster shook his head and said, "I'm sorry that I have to remind all of you. Sit down. She's the queen.
I've made it clear. Don't forget that she's the queen just because of Tang Ling's existence. She has the right to have a deep conversation with us. "
Liszt was a little frustrated. Why did he forget such an important thing?
Before he left, he was reminded that if he and Tang Ling were to compete against each other, he must be careful not to drag Higan into it.
"She deserves to be called the queen. You don't have to ask too much. All you need to know is that her talent is so terrifying that she doesn't need any strength to cause a catastrophe. "
How could he have forgotten about her?
Liszt's heart suddenly changed from annoyance to hatred.
Was it because he had nothing to do at sea and was too free that he forgot that such a terrifying existence was hiding beside Tang Ling?
Was it because of her beauty that he overlooked her danger? If that was the case, it would be even more unforgivable.
Or was it because the girl was too quiet around Tang Ling, to the point that she almost did not exist?
No, it must be an excuse for himself, right?
Thinking about how scary Higan was and looking at her face, Liszt's feelings toward her suddenly became complicated.
However, not everyone in this world knew how scary the queen was. So what if she was famous?
On top of that, from a biological standpoint, women were always soft-hearted, so people would automatically lower the danger of a female powerhouse.
Or maybe it was because of some complicated feelings that she wanted to show her fearless side.
Even after Lancaster spoke, Liszt went quiet. The young captain who spoke first did not have the intention to sit down as if he would not be able to back down once he sat down.
He said forcefully, "I don't care about others, but so what if you're the queen? My agreement is only valid for Tang Ling. This is the truth. I'll leave now. "
At that very moment, Higan's eyes flashed with coldness. She curled her fingers and flicked them slightly.
It was just a small movement. Nothing happened, but the young captain who was about to leave froze.
What happened? Liszt's gaze started to become probing.
Lancaster sighed softly. Why didn't she listen to my advice?
Even though the other young captains were still confused, they were still young geniuses, so they were sensitive enough to notice that something was wrong with the young captain who froze.
Sure enough, in less than three seconds, the young captain suddenly turned around. His face was ashen, and his whole body was trembling. He looked at everyone in the room with a panicked expression.
"It's cold! Don't you feel cold? " As he spoke, he seemed to be unable to endure the cold. His body began to tremble violently, and his teeth began to chatter. It was as if someone had thrown him into the coldest and most deserted place in the world — the Southern Ice Continent, and stripped him naked.
"My queen …" Lancaster looked at Higan. He could not afford to kill a captain at a time like this. It would be best if it didn't happen. After all, no one wanted the young geniuses to kill each other. If it started like this …
Higan's attention seemed to be attracted by her nails. She did not even bat an eyelid at Lancaster's words.
"Cold! Cold! It's so cold! No … I can't take it anymore! Give me your clothes! Give them to me! " In the next second, the young captain broke down. He jumped stiffly towards the other young captain who was closest to him and grabbed the corner of the young captain's shirt with his stiff hands.
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was too stifling, this sudden outbreak of sickness was too frightening. The other young captain was obviously frightened. He hurriedly tried to pry open his frozen hands, subconsciously saying, "I can't give you clothes. Let go of me, let go of me!"
"So noisy," Higan said again.
The expression of the frozen young captain changed again. In the next instant, he grabbed his throat, his face flushed red.
From the looks of it, his throat seemed to be blocked by something. He desperately wanted to speak, but no sound came out no matter how hard he tried.
The queen! The creepy queen was too scary!
It was then that Higan finally raised her head. On her beautiful face, there was an inexplicable evil aura that sent chills down one's spine and made one afraid to approach her.
As her eyes moved, it was a kind of darkness that ignored everything.
"Did any of you see me snap my fingers just now?" she suddenly said something strange.
Everyone including Liszt's heart started to tremble as they instinctively nodded.
"Actually, I was just bored." Higan smiled again. She was still as beautiful as ever, but no one dared to look at her directly. "Oh, I just wanted to say that even if I don't snap my fingers, he will still become like that.
Because he pissed me off. "As she spoke, she rested her chin on her hand again.
She said softly, "All I care about is Tang Ling. Everyone else, in my eyes, is no different from grass, flower petals, flowing water, or even ants.
Besides, I'm not Tang Ling. He likes to be reasonable and has a bottom line. He might even be sentimental and care about your lives. As long as he's happy, it's fine.
But if he's not here, I don't have to be happy with him. "
"Queen, I think this captain can sit down and have a good talk." Despite the tremendous pressure, Lancaster believed he had to stop Higan at that moment because he believed every word she said.
Lancaster believed every single word that Higan said. Without Tang Ling around, the queen would really do as she pleased. She would really ignore everything.
"Why should I give him a chance?" Higan tilted her head in confusion.
"What about you guys? Do you want to talk? I don't have much patience. It's my way of doing things. If not … "Higan returned to her usual calmness." Then die. "
Everyone sucked in a cold breath. No one thought Higan was joking, and no one was confident that they could kill her before they died.
Because what exactly was that strange attack of hers? Even a real rank 3 Purple Moon Warrior might not be able to defend against it.
That young captain who wanted to be in the limelight was still rolling around in the cabin. Right now, he was no longer complaining about the cold, because he couldn't make a sound. However, judging from his body that was sometimes trembling and sometimes flushing red, the torture he was enduring was probably even more terrifying than the cold.
At this moment, the sound of another ship approaching could be heard. Then, a pair of hurried footsteps stepped onto the ship, and the black curtain was lifted once again.
"A captain's party? Am I not here?" Samuel appeared at the door.
As she spoke, she glanced around the cabin. She saw the young captain rolling around and the other young captains who were shocked and fearful. In the end, her eyes landed on Higan.
Then, she ignored the young captain who was rolling on the ground and walked straight to the other side of the shore.
She said, "Oh, wonderful Paramita. To be able to see you again after the banquet is really a happy thing. Come, let's give each other a warm hug. "
As he spoke, Samuel really opened his arms, trying to hug Higan.
Higan frowned and nimbly dodged.
Samuel pouted and said in dissatisfaction, "You make me sad. Are you going to reject the warm hug from a girl as beautiful as you?"
"Oh right, Higan! I know you are the queen. Will you consider joining my girl group? I can even give you the position of leader. "
What?! Lancaster frowned. Judging from Samuel's tone, he was obviously not close with Higan. Why was he so passionate? Could the rumors be true?
Was Samuel someone who had no interest in men and only liked beautiful women? After all, she seemed to hate men. She had saved many innocent girls from her family and hung out with them every day.
"Are you attending the meeting? If you are, let's sit down and talk. "Higan did not care about Samuel's passion and interrupted him.
However, it was obvious that Higan was not that cold to Samuel.
"Oh, right! I am also a captain, even if there is no fleet following me. As someone from the Poseidon family, I'm also qualified. "Samuel sat down as he spoke incoherently.
It was then that she really noticed the young captain rolling around on the floor. She looked at Higan and said, "A disobedient one?"
Higan nodded casually.
"Let him sit down." Samuel frowned and tilted his head. "The Poseidon family is in a war. The sea is in a mess. We are just kids. There's no need for us to fight … "
As he spoke, Samuel also tried to test the waters, "Let's forget it, Higan."
Higan did not argue anymore. The raging wind around them weakened a little, but strangely, the young captain stopped rolling around in the silence.
He seemed to have not regained his senses as his eyes were blank. Half a minute later, he started to pant heavily with fear written all over his face.
However, he dared not stop for even a second. He quickly turned around and knelt down in front of Higan. "My queen, forgive me. I was wrong. Forgive me …"
It was only then that he realized the true meaning behind the title 'my queen'.
"Sit down quietly." Higan did not say anything, but Samuel pulled the young captain and asked him to sit down.
Higan did not comment on Samuel's behavior. Instead, she said, "The content of this meeting is simple. Before Tang Ling returns, no ships are allowed to enter the Death Mist Zone. Also, stay away from the Demon Mist.
On top of that, all the ships will be gathered together. Everything will be carried out together. "
"What do you mean?" This time, it was Liszt who spoke. His eyes were suppressing the rage. Even though his heart was shocked and even a little afraid of the queen, the conditions had crossed his bottom line.
He could not accept it!
Was Higan trying to buy time for Tang Ling? What was Tang Ling up to this time? Why couldn't he enter the Death Mist Zone as soon as possible? Why did he have to hold everyone back?!
Liszt was suppressing his emotions to the point that he almost went crazy. As proud as he was, he had lost his initial calmness.
Those who lost their calmness were the ones who easily lost their intellect.
"What a bunch of idiots," the queen said lazily. She did not care about explaining the reason.
As she spoke, she showed a slight grumble on her face. She muttered softly, "Does Tang Ling have to find trouble for himself?"
Who could understand her inexplicable words? Only Lancaster would think deeply about it.
Of course, Samuel might understand a little since she had just met Tang Ling. Tang Ling had revealed something even though he did not say anything in the end.
However, as smart as Samuel was, he could not form some correct associations from Higan's mutterings.
"What idiots?! We signed a contract with Tang Ling, but we didn't give up our freedom. "Liszt stood up.
However, no one dared to answer Liszt anymore.
"Higan, he is Liszt from the hero family," Samuel quickly said. She had to remind Higan because she was too self-centered.
Other than Tang Ling, she did not care about anyone else. In other words, she would not feel restrained or pressured no matter what she did.
Liszt's chest was heaving up and down as he looked at Higan. His heart was burning fiercely. It was anger and jealousy at the same time.
The queen. She was indeed a true queen!
However, only the woman of a king deserved the title of queen. Therefore, from the very beginning, this girl should not belong to Tang Ling.
That was why he was jealous! His anger was not only because of Higan's request, but also because of her attitude towards him.
Although Liszt did not have any feelings for Higan, he wanted to possess her. It was only natural for a king to possess a woman that matched his status.
"Who he is has nothing to do with me." The meeting was boring, so Higan swung her legs in the air and blew a bubble with her saliva.
Her natural, girlish demeanor made the other young men's hearts skip a beat despite being afraid of her.
"In short, he has two choices. Agree or disagree. " Higan rested her chin on her hand and looked at Liszt. Her smile was seductive and dangerous. "Are you going to disagree?"
Liszt was rendered speechless. He clenched his fists tightly and his palms were sweaty. He realized that he lacked the courage to reject.
He could not help but wonder what would happen if it was Tang Ling? If Tang Ling was in such a situation, would he agree or not?
At this time, Lancaster stood up. He took advantage of this movement to pull Liszt hard and said loudly, "I agree."
"Sounds good." It was rare for Higan to show a sincere smile at Lancaster.
"I agree too." Samuel also agreed without a second thought.
Liszt seemed to be a little more clear-headed after Lancaster pulled him. Is there something else going on?
