Chapter 203 Your Excellency's Wise Judgment!
The captain's words silenced the three men who had almost come to blows at the captain's cabin door.
Ignoring Qin Ke's grip on him, Wen Yuanzheng asked the captain anxiously, "That!" He pointed to the portrait in the captain's cabin, "Didn't you see it?"
The captain's expression grew even uglier.
He sized up the three of them.
"Are you possessed by evil spirits?"
"There are no portraits here at all."
He glanced back at the wall as he spoke, then turned back to his head and said, "You must be possessed by evil spirits!"
He strode over, looking as if he was going to drag the three of them off the Terror.
Yan Xun dodged the captain with a quick movement, and Qin Ke also retreated to the side early on, leaving Wen Yuanzheng to collide with the captain.
The captain grabbed Wen Yuanzheng, exclaiming, "You're definitely possessed by evil spirits!"
He shouted loudly, seemingly about to throw Wen Yuanzheng off the Terror Ship. Wen Yuanzheng immediately struggled to get up and kept reaching out to Yan Xun and Qin Ke for help.
Qin Ke was a little at a loss. He looked at Yan Xun and saw that Yan Xun did not move.
"Damn it!" Wen Yuanzheng felt a wave of despair when he saw that the two of them didn't move at all. He thought to himself that none of these players were reliable.
Just as he was about to ask the old man for help in his heart, he heard footsteps again.
Soon a white figure appeared near the captain's cabin.
The whale whisperer frowned as he watched this farce unfold.
The moment the captain saw the whale whisperer, he dropped Wen Yuanzheng and wanted to return to the captain's cabin.
Yan Xun blocked the door, preventing him from entering.
"You!" The captain immediately glared at Yan Xun with his cautious eyes.
Yan Xun shrugged, showing no intention of moving aside.
Seeing that intimidation was ineffective, the captain could only turn back. "It's nothing," he said to the whale whisperer, as if he didn't want to waste any more words with him. "Just a little incident."
The whale whisperer nodded, it was unclear whether he believed his story or simply didn't care what was happening here.
The Whale Speaker turned to look at the three players. He first looked at Wen Yuanzheng sitting on the ground, then at Yan Xun blocking the captain's cabin, and then at Qin Ke standing on the other side.
"Are you here to clean the captain's cabin?" he asked.
Yan Xun nodded.
“My room also needs cleaning,” the whale whisperer said.
"Come with me."
"Get out of here!" The captain looked at them irritably, then waved his hand impatiently. "Get out of here."
The Whale Whisperer didn't comment on the captain's rude behavior; he simply looked at the three of them coldly and said, "Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you."
Yan Xun moved aside, making room for the captain to return to his cabin.
"Of course I'm willing."
Yan Xun said.
“But you have to testify that we didn’t slack off.” He looked at the whale whisperer. “We just cleaned your room.”
The whale whisperer looked at Yan Xun.
"Koren wouldn't care about such details."
He turned away as he spoke, seemingly too lazy to waste words with the players, perhaps because he knew these newcomers wouldn't last long on the Terror Ship.
……
Contrary to his overly holy and dreamlike exterior, the Whale Whisperer's room was simply furnished.
He didn't seem to like cleaning the room; things and clothes were scattered all over the place in a mess.
Yan Xun initially thought he was just making an excuse to send them away, but when they arrived at his room, Yan Xun realized that he really needed to clean it.
The Whale Whisperer sat on the edge of his bed, watching the trio slowly clean his room.
"How much longer until we see whales?" Yan Xun asked the whale talker while tidying up the clothes scattered on the ground.
“Four days.” The whale whisperer watched him squat down as he packed his clothes.
“I can feel them nearby.”
"Haha." Yan Xun looked up with a forced smile. "This is really good news."
"Are you homesick?" the whale whisperer asked, looking down at Yan Xun.
Yan Xun put down the clothes in his hand. "It's just that it's different from what I expected." He said half-jokingly, "I didn't expect that the Terror would lose two crew members so soon after it set sail."
"I've been having nightmares lately, and I suspect I'll be next."
The white whale whisperer just stared at Yan Xun. Suddenly, he reached out and placed his hand on Yan Xun's forehead, then closed his eyes and muttered a few words that were incomprehensible.
Then he withdrew his hand, saying, "I have already prayed for you."
The whale whisperer looked at Qin Ke, who was slowly walking towards him, with a puzzled expression.
“I also need to pray for blessings,” Qin Ke said.
The whale whisperer stared at him for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"I refuse to pray for you."
Moon Won-jung, who had originally wanted to join in and receive some blessings as well, was left speechless.
What does this mean? Is it treating people differently based on their status?
He was just about to wonder if this whale whisperer was a member of the "looks-matter" club, and why it was selectively offering blessings, when he saw the whale whisperer quickly turn its gaze to itself.
"Did you hear my thoughts?" Wen Yuan was startled and was about to look away when he heard the whale whisperer say again, "I can pray for you."
Wen Yuanzheng paused for a few seconds, then pointed at himself, "Me?"
"Ah."
He went to see Yan Xun, then to see Qin Ke, and finally slowly walked to the side of the Whale Whisperer.
Sure enough, the whale whisperer performed the same blessing gesture for him.
Wen Yuanzheng glanced at the dumbfounded Qin Ke beside him and thought, "This Whale Speaker has good taste. Does he think he's more handsome than this perverted kid Qin Ke?"
He simply shared his thoughts with the old man.
Old man: '……'
Yan Xun's gaze shifted back and forth between Wen Yuanzheng and Qin Ke. Wen Yuanzheng looked smug, while Qin Ke showed no sign of disappointment.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Yan Xun decided to ask directly why the Whale Speaker refused to bless Qin Ke.
“He doesn’t need it,” the whale whisperer said.
Yan Xun: "...?" What does this mean?
Does this mean that Qin Ke is blessed with good fortune, unlike them who will suffer misfortune, so he doesn't need to be blessed?
"What does this mean?" Wen Yuanzheng muttered from the side. "Does it mean he won't be as unlucky as us?"
The Whale Speaker ignored Wen Yuanzheng; he simply watched the three of them and urged them to continue cleaning the room, "Hurry up," he said.
Yan Xun: "..."
Wen Yuanzheng: "..."
Qin Ke didn't react and obediently picked up the broom again to continue cleaning the room.
Wen Yuanzheng no longer thought Qin Ke was a perverted kid. He thought the guy was also quite pathetic, being treated differently by the NPCs and still not saying a word.
After the three of them finished cleaning the room, the Whale Speaker nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Wen Yuanzheng and asked, "Are you possessed by an evil spirit?"
Wen Yuanzheng immediately knelt down with a thud, crying out, "I'm innocent!"
He pointed at Yan Xun and Qin Ke, "Your Honor, the three of us have been wronged!"
