Chapter 294: Xiangmujiutong

Nie Yingying and Duanmu Xing looked at each other, not expecting to hear news about the 'Golden King' as soon as they boarded the island.

Hearing that the entire ship had encountered a storm and disappeared without a trace, Nie Yingying couldn't help but worry about the safety of Vivian and Agatha.

If they were on land, it would be fine; Nie Yingying believed in the strength of Vivian and the other, but on this ocean, human power sometimes has its limits.

"Sister Nie..."

Thinking of Vivian's usual unreliable appearance, Duanmu Xing felt even more worried.

"It's okay! Xingxing, don't worry too much. You know Vivian and Shasha's strength; not many people on this ocean can be their match! And Shasha is smart and cautious, she definitely won't have any accidents!"

Seeing the little girl worried, Nie Yingying immediately suppressed the worry in her own heart and patted Duanmu Xing's little hand to comfort her well.

"Shouhou!"

"Understood, Big Sister!"

'Shouhou' Mei Pengcheng was indeed born to do bad things. With a wretched face, he ran out to gather intelligence and perfectly completed the task in just a while, finding out everything related to the 'Golden King'.

"So, no one saw the wreckage of the 'Golden King'! They are a regular large ship, and they also took the main route. Merchant ships come and go on the main route, so even if they encountered something, it's impossible for no information to come out. They definitely haven't had an accident yet..."

"Hahaha, 'Shouhou', you were asking around just now, I thought you 'Night Skeletons' were also interested in the 'Golden King'. I didn't expect you 'Night Skeletons' to change your profession, not being pirates but bodyguards!"

A tall and sturdy figure walked unsteadily behind 'Shouhou', his palm as big as a palm-leaf fan tightly grabbing 'Shouhou's' shoulder.

"The two ladies look like noble people, why did you find guys like 'Night Skeletons' to protect you! That guy Hendrik is always gloomy, just like a zombie, it would be bad if he scared the two respected ladies. It's better to let me, 'Iron Wrist' Duke, protect you! Hahaha!"

Bodyguard? Protect?

Where did this idiot come from!

"Get lost!"

A cold aura swept past, and a faint smell of blood seemed to linger in the nasal cavity. Duke's drunkenness was immediately scared away by more than half.

Turning his head to look around, Duke didn't find the source of that fleeting aura. Shaking his head, Duke thought it was an illusion from drinking too much.

"Don't be angry, two ladies. Look, only a strong man like me, Duke, can protect ladies on the ocean, and if the ladies have other orders, Duke is also happy to obey! Hahahaha!"

That strong-bodied Duke said while lewdly scanning Nie Yingying.

Seeking death?

Or a tester?

Forget it, just treat it as killing a chicken to warn the monkeys.

Since walking into this tavern, there had been no shortage of unkind gazes, but the presence of the 'Night Skeletons' made many people stop their improper thoughts. Now, this guy who called himself 'Iron Wrist' should be the guy who thought his strength was stronger than the 'Night Skeletons'.

The masked person who had been standing quietly behind Nie Yingying just lifted their foot when they were stopped by a rough voice.

"Duke, if you roll out of my tavern immediately, I won't hold it against you. If you still intend to cause trouble now, then don't blame 'Xiangmujiutong' for never welcoming people from the 'Brotherhood' again!"

Beside the tavern counter, a dwarf with disheveled hair but a well-maintained gray-white beard scolded Duke loudly and then picked up the wine glass by his hand and drank it 'gurgle, gurgle' incessantly.

'Now'!

Hehe, this dwarf looks like he is threatening and stopping this Duke from the 'Brotherhood' from finding trouble for us, but actually... hehe, it's a pity that this Duke is obviously not a smart one.

"Mushu Meat, don't meddle in other people's business. I'm not causing trouble, I'm just talking business with this lady!"

"Pfft..."

As soon as Duke opened his mouth, Nie Yingying couldn't help but spray the kumquat water in her mouth.

Mushu Meat?

There are people who take such a name?

Is that dwarf a Chinese traveler?

The dwarf Mushu Meat was very satisfied with Nie Yingying's reaction. That traveler who had helped him was indeed right; everyone would be shocked by my new name. This lady from out of town also looks like a cultivated person, able to appreciate the profound meaning of my new name!

Alright, for the sake of this, I'll help them!

"Duke, although I don't mind you talking business here, I won't agree if someone wants to force a sale in my place."

"You..." Duke really didn't dare to do anything to the dwarf boss, so he changed his target. Duke was called 'Iron Wrist', and the strength in his pair of arms was naturally not small. He immediately added force to the palm pressing on 'Shouhou's' shoulder, and even that arm, which was thicker than an ordinary person's thigh, became even thicker. "Shouhou, you tell me, did I force a sale?"

"Cut!"

Nie Yingying didn't want to stay here anymore. This kind of boring plot of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger couldn't attract her attention at all.

Wiping her mouth, Nie Yingying took the group and got up to leave.

Seeing the fat sheep he had his eye on running away, Duke immediately wanted to speak out to stop them, but a giggling voice came to his ear.

"Hehe, Duke, I don't like men. Can you take your hand away? You've been grabbing my shoulder for a long time."

What?

He is actually fine!

Then his wrist was grabbed by 'Shouhou', and a huge force accompanied by severe pain came from his wrist. Duke could only bite his teeth tightly to stop himself from screaming.

Mei Pengcheng pushed Duke to the ground and smiled disdainfully.

Trash! I am no longer the original 'Shouhou'. I am also a 【Pirate Captain】 now, and with the other entries given by Big Sister, my strength has undergone a heaven-shaking change.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of old phlegm was sent to Duke who had fallen to the ground, and Mei Pengcheng hurriedly followed his Big Sister's pace.

"Big Sister, wait for me!"

The actions and words of 'Shouhou' were naturally seen by everyone in the tavern. Watching Nie Yingying walk over, the drunks and pirates immediately gave way.

But Nie Yingying stopped beside the dwarf boss. After looking him up and down a few times, Nie Yingying's mouth curled up.

"Boss, your name is really good!"

"Hahahaha, this lady really has an eye for things!"

With a light smile and a shake of her head, Nie Yingying took Duanmu Xing's little hand and walked toward the gate.

"Boom!"

The heavy oak door of the tavern was pushed open from the outside, making a 'booming' sound.

In an instant, everyone in the 'Xiangmujiutong' tavern was attracted by the person at the door. If Nie Yingying, who had just walked to the door, hadn't been quick-witted, she would have been hit by the door.

"It appeared! It appeared! The 'Golden King' appeared!" ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
