300: Tri-colored Flower

Her eyes were filled with hatred as she spoke to Ming Xi. It was like she hated him more than anything else.

“That’s nonsense. We spent so much time trying to sneak onto the island to find your damn fiancé and that stinking Yanran girl. After all the risks we took, who the hell are you to talk to Senior Ming Xi like that?!” Jier glared at Milty. This girl was incredibly annoying. Granted he was also a little spoiled himself, but at least he knew right from wrong.

With this woman though, as soon as anything had to do with her fiancé, her IQ plummeted and she became a complete lunatic.

“You’re all in it together. You deliberately left Oleen behind. Otherwise how could the three of you come back while Oleen has disappeared? Why was there an accident at all? As the team captain, shouldn’t Senior Ming Xi have protected him?!”

Milty wasn’t listening. She couldn’t breathe when she thought about Oleen drifting out there lost in such strong waves. She had loved him since she was a child and had fully intended to marry him.

Ming Xi only gave Milty a glance. “If you believe I am at fault, then feel free to report me to the teachers when we return to campus. If you are correct, then I am willing to accept the punishment.”

“Bad person.” Feng Wu stared at Milty while holding Little bun in her arms. She could feel the malice directed at Ming Xi. It was obvious it wasn’t Ming Xi’s fault, but this crazy woman was still blaming him for it. What a bad person. . .

Due to her limited vocabulary, “bad person” was the harshest denouncement Feng Wu could give someone.

“Bad. . . bad person,” repeated Little Bun. He loved his mother the most. Upon feeling the anger emanating from her, he turned his head and cursed at Milty, despite not know what the words meant.

Feng Wu kissed her son in admiration and praise. He was such a smart boy!

Jier, Ink, Ming Xi: Is it really OK to teach him this way?

Milty was like a mad dog, ready to bite at any provocation. “What right do you have to accuse me of anything? If it weren’t for you, my Oleen would never have had an accident!”

“What’s Xiao Wu got to do with this?” Ink couldn’t remain silent. Xiao Wu was his friend. He wasn’t going to just stand there and let this madwoman spout nonsense.

Milty was blunt. “She was too weak. Senior Ming Xi must have been distracted with having to protect her, so it was impossible for him to rescue Oleen.”

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was what happened. She shot Feng Wu a hate filled glare.

“Can’t reason with her.” Jier said. “If it weren’t for Xiao Wu, we would have all died in that underground temple. Your precious Oleen wouldn’t just be missing; he’d be dead.”

“Humph!” Milty didn’t believe it.

Ming Xi stopped bothering with Milty. The girl was obviously delirious. He was more concerned about completing the task than engaging in a verbal fight with her. “Let’s go to the beach and look for the tri-colored flowers.”

“No! No! None of you are leaving!” yelled Milty madly as she ran to the entrance of the cave. She blocked the entrance, refusing to let them leave unless they found her fiancé.

Fortunately they were the only ones in the cave. The villagers who lived in the nearby caves had already returned to their homes, so it didn’t matter how loud they were.

“What the hell do you want us to do?” Jier had already lost his patience with the crazy woman.

“I want you to find Oleen. I don’t think he’s dead. He must be somewhere, just waiting for us to save him. You have to go and bring him back!”

“The sea is vast. Where do you want us to look?” Ming Xi frowned. Jier wasn’t the only one getting impatient.

“I don’t know! Just find him! If you can’t find him, then don’t bother coming back!”

She acted like it was a given they would do anything for her fiancé.

Ink couldn’t take it anymore. This girl was usually normal, but she got crazy whenever it came to her fiancé. You really couldn’t judge people by appearances. “If you want to find him that badly, go and find him yourself. We won’t stop you.”

“Oleen was in the wrong for leaving the team without permission. As captain, I have done enough for him. I won’t let him influence the outcome of the team.” They had gone and tried to rescue him once already, there wasn’t going to be a second time.

No one mentioned Yanran. They knew Milty only cared about Oleen.

Milty didn’t get sympathy no matter how much she ranted or begged. They ignored her and went looking for the tri-colored flower. Milty could go and do whatever she liked for all they cared.

The group walked to the beach, heading toward a large village. Ink and the others had already become acquainted with the people, so they exchanged greetings amiably.

The tri-colored flower bloomed in the sea. They would have to go diving if they wanted to find any. Everyone created a water barrier, but because it was made out of magic, they were under a time limit. Their magic would only last three hours, tops.

Since there was Little Bun to think about, Feng Wu stayed behind to take care of him. They could have left him with the nanny beast, Little White, but it made the group uneasy to leave Little Bun and Little White alone.

So, while Feng Wu stayed behind, Ming Xi, Jier, Ink and Leo jumped into the sea to search for the flower. There weren’t any large sea monsters in the area around the island, but there were many types of peculiar fishes. These fishes swam around them happily.

Before Ming Xi’s group came to the island, Ink and Leo and taken turns diving. This method was inefficient. That was why they had only found three flowers in all that time.

But now with everyone back together, they were able split up and dive at the same time.

Leo finally felt some optimism about completing the mission. He had been the most stressed in the group. Ming Xi had asked him to take care of the mission and the other team members. He took his responsibilities seriously and he hadn’t wanted to disappoint Ming Xi, but his teammates were pig members and it made the mission really difficult to complete.
