Chapter 219 My mother called me home for dinner
Dongfang Qingmo gently placed Qian Shuishui among a pile of goods, ensuring that she was in a safe place for the time being.
"Shui Shui, wait here for me, I'll go find the antidote." Dongfang Qingmo said softly.
Although Qian Shuishui was weak, she still nodded with all her strength, "Qingmo, be careful..."
"If it really doesn't work, just leave me alone!!" Qian Shuishui added.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Dongfang Qingmo tucked Qian Shuishui's hair behind her ears, "Wait for me here."
Dongfang Qingmo took a deep breath and felt the power surge in his body.
The power that was originally suppressed by the drug is now gathering together like a torrent that has been unleashed.
Her body gradually regained its vitality. Although the drug still had some effect on her, it was obviously not enough to make her completely unable to move.
She calmed herself down, glanced around, and after confirming that there were no other potential threats, she resolutely turned around and stepped back into the cabin.
Inside the cabin, the ship owner and his men were packing their things in a panic, apparently preparing to escape in the chaos.
Dongfang Qingmo's sudden appearance made them feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Oh? Where are you going, ship owner?"
The ship owner's face was pale, with sweat on his forehead. He looked at Dongfang Qingmo with forced composure and stammered, "I...my mother called me home for dinner..."
Dongfang Qingmo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, "Oh? What a coincidence, I'm hungry too."
"Haha, ha..." The ship owner laughed dryly and moved his fingers.
His men received his orders and rushed towards Dongfang Qingmo, waving their weapons.
For a moment, the cabin was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.
Dongfang Qingmo, however, was like a ghost, moving freely among the crowd.
Her body was light and agile, and each of her dodges was just right, making the attackers' moves fail.
At this moment, Dongfang Qingmo suddenly caught a glimpse of a cold light flashing in the corner.
Her eyes instantly became sharp, as if she could penetrate the cold light and see the danger hidden behind it.
In the blink of an eye, her body dodged to the side as fast as lightning.
At the same time, her hand stretched out at an astonishing speed like a snake emerging from a cave, accurately grasping the flying knife firmly in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, the knife in Dongfang Qingmo's hand seemed to be given life and swung rapidly in the air.
The blade drew graceful arcs in the air, each arc containing endless power and speed.
As she moved, the knife flashed, and each strike was like thunder, accurately hitting the enemy's vital point.
The enemy didn't even have time to scream before he was knocked dizzy and fell to the ground unconscious.
The whole process was as natural and smooth as flowing water, without any delay or hesitation.
Dongfang Qingmo's movements were as fast as lightning, dazzling people and making it impossible to see her every move clearly.
The ship owner was so frightened by this scene that he almost peed his pants. He widened his eyes and looked at Dongfang Qingmo with horror, his body shaking involuntarily.
Originally he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but now he was the only one left, and Dongfang Qingmo's speed was too fast.
He hadn't even taken two steps.
