"Hmph, you let them go, and you won't even spare the children!" Ye Ju pointed at the child who was almost killed and accused them loudly.
"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. We only rob valuables and never kill people!" the pirate captain said fearfully.
"Is that so? Ask that man," Ye Ju pointed at the one-eyed pirate who had been knocked out.
At this moment, a woman on the ship also stepped forward and said loudly, "Yes, he was just trying to kill my child!" She hugged the little girl tightly, trembling at the memory of what had just happened!
Hearing this, the pirate captain became angry. He dragged the one-eyed pirate over and, without regard for his unconscious state, splashed water on him to wake him up.
"One-Eyed, how could you kill someone? Don't you know the rules of my ship? We only seek wealth, never to harm lives!" the pirate captain questioned him angrily.
The one-eyed pirate, splashed awake, heard this, and his pupils contracted. He instinctively retorted, "No, boss, I didn't intend to kill her!"
"Hmph, still trying to quibble? If this fairy hadn't saved her, you would have already committed murder." the woman accused angrily. Seeing her daughter trembling with fright, she quickly hugged the little girl tightly and wept silently. The little girl was so scared she couldn't even cry. Now that her mother was holding her, she burst into tears!
Upon hearing the woman's voice, the one-eyed pirate could no longer hide his murderous intent.
"Bitch, I'm going to kill that bastard, you slut! See who I am!" The one-eyed pirate's face was contorted with hatred!
Hearing this, the woman suddenly looked up. When she saw his face clearly, she screamed in horror, "Wang Laowu, you're not dead?"
The one-eyed pirate suddenly gave a sinister laugh:
"I'm not dead, you're disappointed, aren't you? Bitch, I will kill you and that bastard!"
At this moment, a tall, handsome man approached and supported the woman's trembling body.
"Wang Laowu, if you're not dead, why didn't you come home? Do you know how many years Xing Niang has been waiting for you?"
"Zhang Sheng, you adulterous couple! You got together behind my back while I was at sea, and even had a bastard. I wish I could kill you and grind your bones to ashes!" Wang Laowu roared in anger.
The pirate captain, who had been holding him, let go upon hearing his brother's plight. No man could stand this!
Ye Ju also listened, utterly bewildered. What kind of melodramatic plot was this? And Zhang Sheng, were Wang Laowu's names intentional? Wasn't it supposed to be 'Hong Xing Chu Qiang Ge Bi Wang Laowu' (Red Apricot Goes Out of the Wall, Neighbor Wang Laowu)?
"Wang Laowu, you beast, this child is yours, she is your daughter. If it wasn't for Zhang Sheng back then, my daughter and I would have been buried long ago." Xing Niang looked at the one-eyed pirate with both sorrow and anger. She hated Wang Laowu for abandoning her and leaving with someone named Hong Yingying, and now he was blaming them!
Wang Laowu was stunned. Why was the situation different from what he understood...
Ye Ju's drunkenness kicked in. After drinking and fighting, her pent-up emotions had dispersed. Now she just wanted to go back to sleep. There was clearly a story here. The pirate captain hadn't lied; they truly hadn't taken any lives. Xiao Bai, as a divine beast, was naturally sensitive to malevolent energy and ominous vibes. None of these pirates possessed them, clearly indicating they had a moral bottom line.
Seeing that her sister was about to fall asleep, Xiao Bai quickly carried Ye Ju back to the purple bamboo boat. Zhao Yangzi had observed the entire event and came out to handle the aftermath.
Both groups of people were stunned to see Ye Ju and a fox suddenly appear and then disappear just as quickly. When they then saw a strikingly handsome noble young master suddenly appear, they all exclaimed that they had encountered an immortal. They all prostrated themselves on the ground.
Yes, this was a group of ordinary people. Except for the pirate captain who was at the Foundation Establishment mid-stage, the rest only knew some martial skills.
On the other ship, only Zhang Sheng was at the beginner stage of Qi Refining. His martial skills, however, were formidable. The rest were merely household servants who knew some martial arts.
The pirate captain naturally dared not disobey the noble young master's orders and nimbly sailed away. As for One-Eyed's grievances, he could tell there was a hidden reason. He tossed the man to the other boat and, with a burst of speed, sailed away as if fleeing on horseback, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Now, facing Zhang Sheng and his ship, One-Eyed was dejected. He vaguely felt something was wrong and stopped causing trouble. Zhang Sheng wanted to say something about saving his life, but Zhao Yangzi waved his hand, urging them to set sail and leave immediately, warning of a storm brewing in the southeast.
Upon returning to the purple bamboo boat, they saw Ye Ju sleeping on the deck, with Xiao Bai looking at her sister helplessly.
"Daoist Zhao, my sister doesn't want to go back to her room and says she wants to enjoy the scenery here!"
"Fellow Daoist Ye, shall I carry you to your room to sleep?" Zhao Yangzi said, getting up and lifting Ye Ju.
Ye Ju opened her eyes.
"Wow, handsome, and in ancient attire! What's your name..." Ye Ju said, then tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep!
Zhao Yangzi looked at the person in his arms, not understanding her words. Just as he was about to ask, he saw her fall asleep again.
Zhao Yangzi was curious. Fellow Daoist Ye drank several pots of spiritual wine last time without getting drunk, yet now one pot has knocked her out?
If Ye Ju were awake at this moment, she would surely retort that when a person is sad, even one cup can make them drunk, because a sad person *wants* to get drunk!
Ye Ju had another dream. Don't ask her how she knew. This time she woke up in a bamboo house, exactly like the one she had built herself. Even the arrangement of the bed was in the same direction. This was nothing. The problem was that Hua Xun was sleeping on the bed!
How could he be here?
"Wake up, Hua Xun!" Ye Ju tugged at him forcefully.
Hua Xun, groggy with drunkenness, woke up:
"You heartless little thing, I came all this way to see you, what's wrong with taking a nap?" Hua Xun mumbled.
"Ha, this is called coming to see me! Lying on the bed? Are you looking at me in your sleep?" Ye Ju scoffed and retorted.
"Yes, if I don't sleep, I can't see you!" Hua Xun yawned.
Ye Ju paused, feeling that his words had a double meaning.
"What? Why do you always say things I don't understand!" Ye Ju suddenly remembered his revenge for kicking her into the water!
With a sly smile, she took advantage of Hua Xun's inattention and kicked him off the bed. Hua Xun, caught off guard, landed on his backside with a thud, groaning in pain... and crying out "Ouch!" Ye Ju laughed heartily...
Hahahaha!
However, after a while, she could still hear him groaning. Ye Ju wondered if he had broken something, perhaps his third leg!
"Hey, are you okay? Stop pretending, get up!" Ye Ju became a little anxious and went to pull him up.
Unexpectedly, Hua Xun exerted some force, and Ye Ju fell directly into his arms. Their eyes met, and Hua Xun's deep eyes reflected her own. Ye Ju's face flushed, and she scrambled to get up awkwardly. Finally, she heard a yelp... his third leg had not been spared...
Ye Ju fled in disarray...
Ye Ju woke up, her face feeling hot. Oh my god, what was wrong with her? Men are all big pig trotters. Get away, get away!
Damn it, this reminded her of the scumbag who inherited her property in Huaxia...
It's also strange, who is this Hua Xun? Why does he feel so familiar in her dreams? It's truly bizarre!
This is in her own room. Her memory has been fragmented since the fight...
However, after the playful tussle with Hua Xun in her dream, her mood suddenly became much lighter...
