Chapter 191: The Troublesome Zizhenzhu
Jerry had already arranged the general direction for the development of the coastal cities; the only thing left to do was to wait for it to slowly ferment.
Jerry developed the coastal economy, and at the same time, it also brought significant development to the inland economy.
Take salt, for instance; Jerry directly lowered the price, so low that all commoners could afford it. He hadn't originally intended to make money in this area; it was just to benefit the common people.
But in reality, the demand for salt was huge. What he originally thought was a petty profit now, with the earnings added up, had directly surged into the third place among Jerry's money-making industries.
Seafood was even more deeply loved by all the people of the Two Great Empires. Because of the Teleportation Array, transportation costs were reduced, opening up the market all at once, so it could be said that seafood was now in short supply.
Jerry privately had people promote the profits of the seafood industry within the Two Great Empires.
Many people were immediately tempted, and even if they weren't Spirit Masters, they could still make money just by purchasing Jerry's ships.
Many people threw themselves into the seafood industry.
Moreover, the new ship-mounted weapons Jerry released could blast a seventy- or eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast to death with a single shot.
The Faith Power of the Sea God did not just come from humans who believed in the Sea God; there were also many Soul Beasts that believed in the Sea God, which in a roundabout way reduced the Sea God's Faith Power.
After the Two Great Empires made peace, policies restricting the hunting of Soul Beasts were implemented in both empires.
Many Spirit Masters who relied on hunting Soul Beasts for a living were suddenly unemployed. Now that they suddenly knew they could hunt Sea Soul Beasts, and that Sea Soul Beasts were treasures from head to toe, plus the fact that Jerry's ships provided security, what were they waiting for? They flocked to the coastal regions to develop.
For them, the Spirit Rings from hunting Sea Soul Beasts were secondary. Now, every major city had opened up Spirit Ring exchanges; these kinds of Spirit Rings were safe and easier to absorb, so who would care about the Spirit Rings of the Soul Beasts they hunted themselves?
Now the economy in the coastal regions had directly multiplied several times over, and it had also indirectly driven the nearby cities and many other industries, so the Two Great Empires were very supportive of developing the coastal economy.
Some are happy, some are sad.
Sea God Island
"Great Priest, it has been a long time since anyone came to the island to trade for supplies. Do you think we should arrange to go ashore to trade?" the Second Elder said.
"What is going on? Why has no one come at all all of a sudden?" Poseidon asked.
"We have already sent people to inquire. The emperors of the Two Great Empires are now fellow disciples, and both are disciples of Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall. They simply cannot fight now, and the troops previously stationed there have all withdrawn."
"The Two Great Empires are now developing the coastal economy and purchasing large quantities of seafood, which is in short supply, so there is simply no one coming to Sea God Island to trade for supplies now."
"The person manipulating this behind the scenes is Jerry," the Second Elder said, stopping there. Those who understand, understand; some things do not need to be spelled out clearly.
"What? Jerry? That little brat? Is Qian Daoliu not going to do anything about it? This is targeting our Sea God Island. If he has the ability, let him fight openly and honestly. To play these tricks behind our backs—is Qian Daoliu just going to let it be? I am going to the Spirit Hall to settle the score with Qian Daoliu!" After Poseidon finished speaking, she flew off directly, filled with rage.
Watching the Great Priest fly off directly, the Second Elder shook his head.
As for Poseidon's strength, the Second Elder trusted it very much, but as for Poseidon's emotional intelligence, well, let's just forget about it.
Hanhai Cheng
Under the care of a specialist, Zizhenzhu was preparing to wake up.
She looked around; it was a very cozy room.
At this moment, the door was opened, and a young girl walked in carrying a tray with some medicine on it.
Seeing that Zizhenzhu was awake, she hurriedly said, "You're awake! I'll go notify Lord Jerry now!"
After saying this, the girl put down the tray and ran out.
Jerry? So I was captured after all. But shouldn't I be locked in a prison cell? Could it be that this Jerry has taken a fancy to me? Men, hmph! This lady likes women; I don't like these stinky men at all!
On this side, Jerry received the news and put down his work. It was time to see this former Saintess of the Spirit Hall.
Jerry arrived at Zizhenzhu's ward, and by this time, Zizhenzhu had already sat up.
Seeing the young boy in front of her, Zizhenzhu was stunned for a moment. This was completely different from what she had imagined.
"Are you Jerry?" Zizhenzhu asked.
"I am! But do you know your own identity?" Jerry asked. He also wanted to test if Zizhenzhu had really lost her memory.
"My identity? Don't you already know? I am the leader of the Zizhenzhu Pirate Crew; all the pirates nearby know that. What's wrong with this identity?" Zizhenzhu asked suspiciously. You've already caught me, and you still don't know who I am?
This lady? This Zizhenzhu, being a pirate really does make a difference.
However, looking at Zizhenzhu's expression, it didn't look like she was acting.
"Forget it, with that bandit-like air of yours, I really don't know how you became a Saintess!" Jerry said.
"This lady has a bandit-like air? Are you an idiot? I am a pirate crew leader; can you be a pirate without being a bandit? No, wait, you said Saintess? What Saintess? Explain it to me clearly!" Zizhenzhu asked excitedly.
Regarding her previous memories, she had absolutely none.
When she woke up, she was on an island occupied by pirates, and since many pirates lived there, she had always thought she was one of them.
After struggling and fighting among the pirates for a few years, she had relied on her strength of over level sixty to become the pirate crew leader.
Jerry really didn't want to say much to this person who kept saying "this lady" every other word, so he said directly, "Zizhenzhu, former Saintess of the Spirit Hall, leader of the expedition to attack Sea God Island. After the expedition failed, you went missing. Now it seems that after the failure, you lost your memory."
"What? I am a Saintess of the Spirit Hall?"
"Yes! I am from the Spirit Hall. I have seen the Spirit Hall's files, and they even have your portrait on them. Otherwise, do you think that during this annihilation of the pirates, you would have been the only one left alive?"
"What do you mean only me left alive? My subordinates are all dead! I'll kill you!" After Zizhenzhu finished speaking, she got up and was about to attack Jerry.
Jerry directly released his pressure, pinning Zizhenzhu firmly to the hospital bed.
"Is there something wrong with your brain? You can't even understand the main point. You are a Saintess of the Spirit Hall! No, wait, you lost your memory, so there really is something wrong with your brain!" Jerry said.
"Don't try to fool this lady! I know exactly what I'm like. If you want something, just say it directly. I am not a person who is afraid of death. Using the Spirit Hall Saintess title to fool me? Do you think I'm some little girl who hasn't seen the world? What kind of storms and waves haven't I experienced? I won't be fooled by your few words!" Zizhenzhu shouted.
Good grief, this is a madwoman. Is there something wrong with her head? I annihilated so many pirates; what could I possibly want from you? You're just a pirate leader now.
"Zizhenzhu, I told you to be civilized. If you say 'this lady' one more time, I won't be polite to you."
"Hahaha, embarrassed and angry, are you? Not acting anymore? Exposed? You're going to be impolite to this lady, are you? Go ahead and try! Let me see how you're going to be impolite. If I even frown, you can do whatever you want with me!"
"You! Don't you regret this! Someone, give her water, and keep an eye on her!" Jerry ordered.
"Little boy, haha, and here I thought you were so impressive? Water? Are you kidding me?" Zizhenzhu said with a loud laugh.
Jerry didn't want to pay attention to her, so he just watched as the people nearby began to feed Zizhenzhu water.
Zizhenzhu had been lying down for a few days, and her mouth was a bit dry. Feeding me water, huh! Just right to quench this lady's thirst.
But this little boy is truly impressive. He was able to pin me down so I couldn't get up just by using his pressure; his strength cannot be underestimated.
Since I can't escape now, let's see what kind of tricks you're playing.
However, she soon couldn't take it anymore and couldn't drink any more, but the person beside her kept feeding her water.
"What exactly are you trying to do? I can't drink any more, are you trying to stuff me to death?" Zizhenzhu said loudly.
"Stop for now! Feed her again in half an hour!" After Jerry finished speaking, he took out a book, sat on the sofa nearby, and began to read.
Three hours passed.
"Jerry, you bastard, let me go, I need to go to the bathroom!" Zizhenzhu shouted.
"Remove the quilt from her!"
Hearing Jerry's instruction, the girl responsible for taking care of Zizhenzhu directly pulled the quilt away.
Under the quilt, Zizhenzhu was wearing only a hospital gown.
At this moment, Jerry walked directly to the foot of Zizhenzhu's bed and just stared at her without saying a word.
"Jerry, you bastard! ******"
No matter how Zizhenzhu cursed at Jerry, Jerry simply ignored her and just kept watching her like that.
"You've said so much, your throat must be dry, feed her water again!" Jerry said.
"Jerry******" Before Zizhenzhu could finish cursing, they directly poured water into her.
One hour later.
"Jerry, I was wrong, I won't call myself 'old lady' ever again, please let me go!" Zizhenzhu pleaded.
But Jerry saw a trace of malice in her eyes; it seemed she was still not convinced!
"Jerry, I was wrong, let me go to the bathroom, I can't hold it anymore!"
"Jerry, I beg you!"
"Jerry, you dead pervert!"
"Jerry******"
Zizhenzhu went from pleading to continuing to curse at Jerry, but Jerry ignored her completely and just watched her quietly.
Suddenly, Zizhenzhu went silent.
At this moment, Jerry looked up at Zizhenzhu, and her face was now flushed red.
He then looked at Zizhenzhu's pants; haha, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and wet her pants!
Zizhenzhu was quite good-looking, a beauty, and she also had a heroic spirit.
Even after becoming a pirate, she was very mindful of her reputation.
Now, wetting her pants in front of Jerry directly shattered her psychological defenses; this was even more unbearable for her than being killed.
"Lord Jerry, she wet her pants, should I change her pants?" the girl nearby asked.
"Haha, not yet, I'll watch for a while longer! Hahahaha," Jerry deliberately put on a very happy appearance.
Zizhenzhu was very embarrassed at this moment, but also very furious.
"Jerry******"
"Keep cursing! I'll change your pants now!" Jerry said with a smile.
Zizhenzhu immediately shut her mouth; changing her pants now, and in front of Jerry, she couldn't help but tremble at the thought.
"Jerry, what exactly do you want to do?" Zizhenzhu said after calming down a bit.
"Can you speak properly now?"
"Yes, speak properly, I will definitely speak properly!"
"What I said before is all true! You were indeed once the Saintess of the Spirit Hall."
"Fine, fine, fine, I am the Saintess of the Spirit Hall, can you let me go first and let me change my clothes?" For a beauty, conversing with others in this situation was undoubtedly very damaging to her self-esteem.
Hearing Zizhenzhu say this, it seemed she still didn't believe it.
"Change her clothes, and call me when you're done." After Jerry finished speaking, he left.
Ten minutes later, Zizhenzhu appeared in front of Jerry, dressed neatly.
"I know you still don't believe it. The reason you lost your memory is likely due to blood stasis in your Brain, which is pressing on some nerves. Forget it, I won't say so much to you, I'll just cure you directly!"
After Jerry finished speaking, his Divine Sense directly scanned Zizhenzhu's Brain, and sure enough, he discovered a clot of blood stasis.
For others, this blood stasis would be difficult to clear, but for Jerry, it was very simple.
Jerry could see all the nerve distributions in the Brain; he first made a needle tip and inserted it directly into Zizhenzhu's head.
Zizhenzhu just wanted to scream, but she discovered she was being controlled by Jerry again, unable to move at all, and her mouth couldn't speak.
The needle tip was inserted into the Brain, bypassing layers of blood vessels and nerves to reach the location of the blood stasis directly.
Then Jerry used his Divine Sense to move this blood stasis and expel it from the body through the needle tip.
After all the blood stasis was expelled, Jerry pulled out the needle tip, performed a Healing, and the needle wound healed up.
Then Jerry released Zizhenzhu.
"Jerry, what exactly are you trying to do?" Zizhenzhu shouted as soon as she was released.
However, just after she finished shouting, Zizhenzhu felt a wave of dizziness, and then a great deal of memories surged into her Brain.
Zizhenzhu was in a daze, and Jerry just stared at her quietly.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Zizhenzhu came back to her senses.
"Thank you for helping me recover my memory." A mature woman's voice came through; this was actually coming from Zizhenzhu.
Jerry got goosebumps all over; this change was too great. Where did the bandit-like air from just now go? She had turned into a completely different person!
"Lord Jerry, please excuse me for a moment. My current clothes are a bit uncomfortable, please allow me to change my clothes before returning." Zizhenzhu said.
The phrase "Lord Jerry" made Jerry feel numb all over.
"Go ahead! Take this Spirit Hall token, go to a shop with the Spirit Hall logo, and pick out some clothes!" Jerry said.
As expected of a woman, the first thing she thought of after recovering her memory was her attire.
After more than half a day, Zizhenzhu returned.
The current Zizhenzhu could be said to have completely transformed into a different person.
She was wearing a white dress and had a pair of custom-made red high heels on her feet.
As she walked, her long hair flew up, looking very elegant; paired with her delicate facial features and fair skin, it made it difficult for people to look away.
"Are you Zizhenzhu?" Jerry asked uncertainly; were these two completely different people?
"What's wrong, does Lord Jerry not recognize me? Do I not look good like this?" Zizhenzhu said, staring at Jerry with her pair of bright, watery eyes.
A beautiful woman, her eyes could speak.
"You look good! You look good! I just didn't react in time!" Jerry said awkwardly.
"Lord Jerry, there is a serious matter I need you to explain. You knew early on that I was a Saintess of the Spirit Hall, so was it right to treat me like that in the hospital room?" Zizhenzhu stared at Jerry resentfully.
"Haha! You're talking about that; I was forced into that by you too. You kept calling yourself 'this lady' earlier, it was unbearable!" Jerry said with a chuckle.
"Lord Jerry could have helped me with my Recovery long ago, right? Why didn't you restore my memory first, but instead humiliated me before restoring it? Does Lord Jerry like watching girls pee in front of you? This makes me very suspicious of your intentions, Lord Jerry!" Zizhenzhu moved directly close to Jerry, licked her lips, and said.
At such a close distance, Jerry could even feel Zizhenzhu's warmth, and the fragrance she exhaled while speaking rushed toward his face; for a moment, Jerry completely forgot how to answer.
