Li Yuanling frowned and looked at Li Musheng with confusion, asking, "If we don't beat them, then what other method is there to snatch jade tokens?"
Hearing this, Li Musheng spread his hands, "Of course, use this method."
As his words fell, the wooden boat where the two of them were suddenly accelerated its speed, sliding toward the center of the lake.
At the same time, sharp sounds of tearing through the air suddenly arose from the dark underground lake all around them.
Then, Li Yuanling's eyes widened. She saw tiny afterimages actually flying rapidly from the surrounding darkness.
After those afterimages arrived above the wooden boat where she and Li Musheng were, they seemed to suddenly lose their flying power and fell powerlessly downward.
They transformed into a rain of jade tokens falling from the sky, clattering down onto the wooden boat with a series of crisp "clang clang" sounds.
In an instant, Li Yuanling stood frozen in place. It wasn't until jade tokens continuously struck her head that she suddenly woke up, "This is a windfall from heaven!"
Immediately, she leaped up directly from the soft stool and hurriedly began bending down to pick up the jade tokens on the wooden boat.
Watching the jade tokens in her arms grow more and more numerous, Li Yuanling's pretty face flushed with excitement in layers, looking just like a greedy little miser.
At the same time, on the wooden boats surrounding Li Musheng's boat as the center of the underground lake, waves of successive exclamations arose everywhere.
"My jade token!"
"My jade token has disappeared..."
"What's going on? Why did my jade token suddenly fly away out of control?"
...
The blue-robed middle-aged man, who had already been urged by his young master to use martial Dao true qi to propel the wooden boat away from Li Musheng's boat, finally completely relaxed after gaining some distance from the other party.
Then, he cupped his hands toward the young master before him, "Young Master, please wait on the wooden boat. I will continue to seize jade tokens."
Hearing this, Song Zimuo nodded slightly, then frowned and instructed, "Have some judgment from now on. Just snatch jade tokens. Don't keep extinguishing candle flames on other people's wooden boats at every turn. I don't want to be frightened again."
The blue-robed middle-aged man's eyelids twitched slightly, but he still immediately nodded in agreement.
Although it was clearly his young master who had told him to extinguish other people's candle flames, he naturally couldn't use this to refute the other party.
Just at this moment, the blue-robed middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed.
He saw the three jade tokens originally placed in his chest suddenly leap out, then immediately fly toward the darkness.
Seeing this, with quick hands and eyes, he surged martial Dao true qi into his palms and hurriedly reached out his claws to grab the jade tokens.
However, the jade tokens' speed was too astonishing. Before he could even touch their afterimages, they had already disappeared from view, vanishing into the vast darkness.
...
On a wooden boat not far from Li Musheng, the sword-wearing middle-aged man and the martial world warrior had struggled to repel those who came to snatch jade tokens.
Next, the two continued to maneuver the wooden boat, preparing to move away from Li Musheng and his companion.
However, before they could take action, the jade tokens belonging to their side in the sword-wearing middle-aged man's hand, as well as the jade tokens the martial world warrior had just snatched from the attacker, suddenly flew out from their palms.
With their martial Dao cultivation, they couldn't even react. They only felt an invisible true qi suddenly pull the jade tokens from their hands.
That force was too strong and too fast. The jade tokens almost instantly broke free from the control of their palms and disappeared into the pitch-black night.
"What happened?"
The sword-wearing middle-aged man and the martial world warrior looked at each other in bewilderment, completely baffled, until waves of exclamations continuously rang out from the surrounding wooden boats.
Only then did they realize that this situation didn't seem to be unique to them alone.
After a moment of mutual silence, the sword-wearing middle-aged man's gaze suddenly turned, and as if possessed by a ghost, he looked toward the wooden boat where Li Musheng and his companion were.
He knew the other party was quite extraordinary and wanted to see whether they were experiencing the same situation as them.
As a result, the next moment, he suddenly froze completely, standing on the wooden boat in direct shock, unable to speak.
What did he see?
He saw that on the wooden boat where Li Musheng and his companion were, the burning candle flame emitted a dim yellow glow, but borrowing this candlelight, the sword-wearing middle-aged man could hardly believe his eyes as he witnessed a "rain of jade tokens" falling on that wooden boat.
Jade tokens continuously fell in rustling succession under the illumination of the candlelight, as if endless, and also as if all the jade tokens from the wooden boats on the entire underground lake had already gathered above the other party's boat.
"What's gotten into you? Why did you suddenly become like this?"
The martial world warrior, seeing the sword-wearing middle-aged man's current expression, found it very strange.
He followed the other party's gaze with confusion, then stood frozen in place, subconsciously exclaiming, "This is too damn terrifying..."
...
At the same time, Li Yuanling, who had originally been full of excitement picking up jade tokens, was now holding an armful of jade tokens, looking up and shouting, "Stop falling, stop falling! I can't pick up anymore!"
Seeing this, Li Musheng glanced at her and the pile of jade tokens accumulated on the wooden boat, and nodded slightly.
The next moment, the sounds of tearing through the air around the wooden boat suddenly disappeared, and the jade tokens constantly falling from above the boat finally stopped.
At this moment, Li Yuanling sat directly on the soft stool holding a pile of jade tokens. She looked down at the jade tokens in her arms, smiling so widely her mouth couldn't close.
As she smiled and smiled, the air suddenly fell silent.
Before long, Li Yuanling slowly raised her head and looked at Li Musheng.
At this moment, the smile on her face had already disappeared. Her gaze just quietly watched Li Musheng as she said softly, "I didn't expect you to be this powerful."
As she spoke, she extended a hand holding jade tokens and wiped the corners of her eyes, which had somehow turned red, forcing out a trace of a smile, "If Mother knew you were this powerful, she would definitely be very happy."
Then, she lowered her head and stared blankly at the jade tokens in her hands.
Seeing this, Li Musheng didn't speak.
After a while, he slowly shook his head, "Sworn sister, we've already obtained so many jade tokens. Now is not the time to be sentimental. You need to pull yourself together."
Hearing this, Li Yuanling pouted and wiped the corners of her eyes a couple more times. Her face gradually revealed a trace of a smile, "That's true."
She gathered the jade tokens on the wooden boat together, then nodded with satisfaction, "If we're not first place with all this, then Floating Boat City definitely has some shady dealings."
Li Musheng nodded lightly and spoke frankly, "I want that divine treasure. I hope Floating Boat City doesn't make me come here for nothing."
"Huh? You just said something and all the jade tokens flew over. How high must your martial Dao cultivation be to do that?"
Li Yuanling waved her hand toward the sky above, mimicking the appearance of jade tokens flying over, seeming somewhat puzzled, "You're already this powerful. Do you still need a divine treasure to enhance your martial Dao cultivation?"
