Chapter 171: Mitsuyo's boudoir! The intact gift!

~7 min read 1,307 words

Outside the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates!

Seeing more than a dozen small boats rippling slightly outside the villa, Luo Li raised an eyebrow.

"So many people? Interesting."

If the owner of the villa was still Mitsuyo, she would never allow so many strangers to enter her territory.

Don't look at that little girl as lively and cute, but that was to him.

Her personality to the outside world could be described as extremely cold, rejecting people thousands of miles away. Initially, even people approaching the Tengu station would be intimidated by her.

Putting aside the slightly complicated mood for now, Luo Li stepped gently onto the entrance of the villa.

Like the pirates who came here earlier, he entered the entrance and first arrived at an atrium of hundreds of square meters, filled with various cherry blossom trees and blue-purple glowing plants.

The only difference was that when he passed through the atrium, what appeared was not a dark and cramped narrow passage, but a normal Japanese-style courtyard.

Imitating the pavilions and terraces of Liyue, it shone brightly under the sunlight through the skylight.

To be honest, this was his first time coming to the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates.

But the furnishings inside were not unfamiliar, and there was always a familiar taste.

Continuing forward, one would find that the villa, which looked like only two stories, had a different world inside.

Similar to the blessed land of Liyue, inside, besides many rooms, there was a suspended waterfall in the middle.

Ancient trees intertwined, vines spread, and it was extremely poetic.

Along the rotating corridor upward, Luo Li saw many familiar objects worth remembering.

He measured the land of this villa step by step. He once promised Mitsuyo a request, to date her in the villa drifting on the sea for a day.

He didn't expect to come here in such a way today.

Shaking his head gently, Luo Li passed through the corridor and arrived at the highest point. He ignored the treasures filling the rooms and his gaze was only on the closed room at the very top.

A faint fragrance of a woman permeated the air, which was not a concoction using perfume, but more like a special fragrance naturally carried by a woman.

He stepped on the wooden floor and could hear a slight creaking sound, which traveled very far in the quiet environment.

If there was someone in the room, it was impossible not to hear it.

"In other words, is there no one?"

Luo Li, whose mood was unknown, arrived in front of the highest and deepest room and pushed the door open gently.

The unlocked door opened the next moment, exposing the full view inside. The faint fragrance, originally like musk and orchid, suddenly became thick.

Luo Li scanned slowly. The room of fifty or sixty square meters was very simple and concise, with only a large bed with lowered gauze curtains, a long table with scattered accessories and small items, and a futon next to it.

Walking into the room, he saw that the most eye-catching thing on the long table was an old longbow offered for worship.

The familiar-looking curved bow was picked up and stroked by him.

"I didn't expect that girl to keep this bow."

Luo Li's eyes were full of nostalgia. This was the first gift he gave to Mitsuyo.

Five hundred years passed, and it was still well-off and offered here.

Even after experiencing time wear and tear, the bow body was already mottled, and the bowstring was as thin as a cicada's wing, making it difficult to use for actual combat.

But from the smooth and warm bow body, it could be seen that its owner must have loved it very much, playing with and protecting it every day.

Unfortunately, no matter how carefully maintained, it was difficult for the longbow to hold on any longer.

It was originally a casual work by Luo Li and did not contain special power. It was incredible that it could persist for five hundred years.

Just as he was immersed in the memories of the past, waiting for the owner of the villa to return.

Suddenly, a vibration came from below the villa, accompanied by a muffled explosion, which spread very far through the quiet air.

Luo Li frowned slightly, put down the longbow, walked out of the room, and looked down at the layers below.

The eyes that penetrated all things skipped the walls and saw everything inside clearly.

"The owners of those small boats outside?"

Luo Li then remembered that someone had invaded the villa.

He cast his gaze with interest and followed the corridor down.

These people were really not afraid of death, daring to break into the Tengu villa.

If it were in a state of ruins sunk to the bottom of the sea, it would be fine. Now that there was clearly an owner, just temporarily away, coming just because of greed for treasure was truly worthy of being called courageous.

Below the Empty Boat of a Thousand Gates villa!

The pirate groups moved along the mechanism passage they entered at the beginning. Under the sharing of intelligence, they actually successfully broke into the middle, arriving at the martial arts arena of the villa.

Watching the group enter the spacious martial arts arena and start searching for treasures that might exist in new places, the pirate leader frowned.

Since acting together, he simply couldn't find an opportunity to take action.

After all, everyone hadn't separated, and coupled with intelligence sharing, it was even less likely to trigger mechanisms, so naturally, there would be no damage.

And they had been in for a long time, and it was expected that they would leave in less than half an hour, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave once the villa owner returned.

His gaze inadvertently glanced at the hidden mechanism near the warrior rack in the martial arts arena, and the pirate leader's eyes flickered, with ruthless thoughts turning in his heart.

If operated properly, perhaps he could wipe everyone present out in one go.

Even the people he brought could be sacrificed, just needing to keep a few confidants.

Under the Sakoku Decree and the Vision Hunt Decree, there were many people who wanted to be pirates, so there were Vision holders among the pirates.

Losing some personnel, it was no big deal to go back and replenish them.

Just as he made up his mind to take action, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound from the martial arts arena. The red light in the eyes of several warrior statues on both sides suddenly lit up, and they made a gear-turning sound, pulled out the long swords at their waists, and looked at the many intruders with cold and dead eyes.

The pirate leader was shocked, thinking someone had taken action before him, but found that everyone present was very confused and stunned, clearly not knowing what had happened.

His heart tightened, and he subconsciously fled toward the path he came from, but the sound of the blocked passage made his heart turn cold.

"It's broken, we're locked in!"

Not only the awakened warriors, but some rumbling mechanisms were also activated, and the crisp sound of mechanisms being launched could be heard from the ceiling and walls from time to time.

Everyone was shocked and angry, their heartstrings tightened, and they surrounded the four warriors with vigilance.

"Strike first! Kill them, let's rush out!"

The pirate leader shouted and rushed up with his sword first.

With someone taking the lead, others immediately launched attacks while blindly following.

Seeing this, he took the opportunity to quietly withdraw from the crowd, intending to slip away.

Searching for so many treasures, it would be funny if he couldn't take them out.
