Chapter 275: The Gentleman—Hendrik

Archer of the 'Sea Wolf' pirate group grabbed the collar of the man half-submerged in the water, pulled him onto the boat, and kicked him hard as he watched him panting.

After warning 'Skinny', he and his companions rowed the coconut shell boat back to the main island of White Sand Islet. During this process, the pirates of 'Sea Wolf' did not notice that the panting guy's eyes kept drifting toward Xie Yaoyao, who was happily licking eggnog.

But as a 'Blood Clan' with powerful spirit, Nie Yingying immediately discovered that person's wandering eyes.

Retracting her gaze to the man beside her, Xie Yaoyao, who sensed her gaze, immediately returned a big smile. The white eggnog at the corner of his mouth and his pure eyes made Nie Yingying's heart slightly touched.

Gently wiping the milk stain from the corner of Xie Yaoyao's mouth, Nie Yingying unconsciously compared the foolishly smiling Xie Yaoyao in front of her with the man in her memory—saving her from the encirclement of the 'Blood Sword Mercenary Group' in the real world, and saving her many times in the plot world in the Fairytale World. Even her current set of entries was almost entirely his credit.

Unknowingly, she had become so deeply entangled with this man!

Unwilling to explore her own heart further, Nie Yingying, having collected her thoughts, stopped 'Skinny' Mei Pengcheng, who intended to continue bickering with the 'Sea Wolf' crowd. Right now, it was more important to subdue 'Night Skeleton' quickly.

Mei Pengcheng retracted his head, still feeling unsatisfied. He found that he truly liked this unrestrained pirate life, just like his name—a bright future!

Thinking again that he was about to own a pirate ship of his own, his heart couldn't help but become even more heated.

Stepping on the fine white sand, the group soon walked into the lush island forest. The quiet forest blocked the increasingly scorching sun on the island, and from time to time, dome-shaped houses built with coral reef walls and seaweed mud appeared and disappeared.

"The environment here is really good! Wouldn't living here be like being on vacation every day?"

Duanmu Xing was very satisfied with such houses full of island style, but the senior sailor Mei Pengcheng soon broke her beautiful fantasy.

"Hehe, little sister Duanmu, the trees here grow lushly not just because of sufficient sunlight; high-quality fertilizer applied from time to time is also an important reason!" Mei Pengcheng laughed. "And the reason these houses are built so far apart is also because the owners here are generally afraid of disturbing their neighbors! Hehe!"

Facing Duanmu Xing's confused eyes, Nie Yingying glared fiercely at 'Skinny', who was laughing cheaply.

"Are we not there yet?"

"We are! The house owners in this area are even further apart. In fact, we have already entered the territory of 'Night Skeleton' on this island..."

Before 'Skinny' finished speaking, amidst a harsh whistle, an anchor dragging a long iron chain shot straight toward him, and a rough voice sounded accompanied by the attacking anchor.

"Skinny, I didn't expect you, this guy, to really betray us! Sure enough, travelers are a group of guys who cannot be trusted!"

With an incredibly cool lazy donkey roll, Mei Pengcheng narrowly avoided the flying anchor.

"Clang~"

The iron anchor weighing hundreds of kilograms was steadily grabbed by a fair and slender palm. Amidst the splashing sparks, the bright red nails even left five scratches on the pure iron anchor.

And the burly man who threw the anchor was currently blushing, pulling the iron chain, trying to drag the anchor back. The iron chain was pulled straight, and the muscles on the burly man's arms were even more knotted and swollen, but no matter how hard he tried, the anchor remained motionless.

This scene immediately made the pirates who surrounded them from the forest stop their steps, looking at each other.

No normal person would actively seek death, even among the pirate group where mental illness is high, no one would actively seek death. In fact, pirates are very afraid of death; it's just that this point is often covered up by their greed.

Pirates who have roamed the sea for many years are mostly knowledgeable, and in just an instant, they understood that the woman in front of them was not someone they could deal with.

Smiling, Mei Pengcheng climbed up from the ground and patted the grass clippings on his body to introduce.

"Big Sister, the guy who threw the anchor randomly is called Yorkshire, 'Iron Anchor' Yorkshire! My boatswain. Look at those burly muscles, he is a very good beast of burden!"

Listening to Mei Pengcheng's introduction, Nie Yingying loosened her palm with an expressionless face.

The heavy iron anchor hit the grass, making a dull sound.

"Your boatswain?" A gloomy voice sounded from the crowd. "Hehe, Yorkshire, it seems our new captain didn't promote you!"

The speaker was a guy wearing an old captain's hat. Except for his gloomy face, this person was almost indistinguishable from other pirates around him.

Not caring about the sarcastic voice, 'Skinny' Mei Pengcheng continued to introduce: "Big Sister, the one who spoke is Hendrik, 'Black Bone' Hendrik, a fourth-tier 【Pirate Captain】, hehe!"

Mei Pengcheng's words successfully shifted the attention of Nie Yingying and others from 'Iron Anchor' Yorkshire to 'Black Bone' Hendrik.

This made Yorkshire breathe a deep sigh of relief, but it also made the hair on Hendrik's body stand up. He felt like he was being stared at by a beast.

"Swish!"

Nie Yingying's figure disappeared from everyone's retina; she was ready to do business.

"Do it!"

'Black Bone' Hendrik was worthy of being a pirate captain who roamed the sea. The moment Nie Yingying disappeared, he realized that the other party's target was himself.

Before Hendrik's voice had completely fallen, deep black light radiated from his body, while the pirates who had originally surrounded him distanced themselves from him and rushed toward 'Skinny' Mei Pengcheng, Duanmu Xing, and Xie Yaoyao, who were still standing in place.

"Bang!"

The collision of scarlet and pitch black actually made an actual sound, but compared to the suddenly appearing Nie Yingying, 'Night Skeleton' captain Hendrik was knocked forward by the impact of the collision.

However, this also allowed him to dodge the feather flying knife slash clamped between Nie Yingying's fingers.

"Hmph!"

After the feather flying knife between her fingers was stained with a layer of scarlet, it left her fingers and shot toward the pirate captain who had fallen to the ground.

Hendrik, who had roamed the edge of life and death for many years, naturally couldn't be slack. The moment he fell, he continued to roll forward, dodging the feather flying knife while reaching into his arms to take out—a treasure map!

"Spare my life! I am a senior sailor, and I will be very useful on the sea."

The pirate captain, holding the treasure map high, was sweating profusely on his face.

In just an instant, he knew that he had encountered the biggest crisis of his life. The other party was too powerful! It was simply not something someone of his level could resist.

Decisively surrender and show his own value!

It has to be said that Hendrik is a gentleman who knows how to judge the hour and size up the situation. ===== CHAPTER 276 =====
