Chapter 281

It possessed a breathtakingly beautiful curve.

It was as if one had fallen from a mountain peak into a valley in an instant.

Luo Xing could not keep his hands off it.

He savored the sensation for a long time.

Then, he replied with a feigned, threatening tone:

"As for me, hehe, I am Vander Decken."

Upon hearing the name Vander Decken,

Bai Xing’s lovely face immediately lost all color, turning deathly pale.

Her delicate body trembled even more violently.

Clearly, the death threats Vander Decken had once leveled at Bai Xing

still left a deep shadow in her heart to this day.

"Vander Decken, no... that’s impossible. Weren't you driven away by Boss Jinbe?"

Vander Decken’s fate was not as simple as being driven away; he had been killed outright.

However, there was naturally no need to tell the innocent Bai Xing the truth.

Otherwise, given Bai Xing’s kind nature,

she might even end up sympathizing with a scoundrel like Vander Decken.

Luo Xing chuckled:

"I was driven away by Jinbe, but because I like you too much, my ghost has returned to find you."

"Oh, little Bai Xing, you cannot escape from the palm of my hand!"

A... a ghost?!

Endless terror was revealed in Bai Xing’s beautiful eyes.

She clutched her head with both hands and said through tears:

"Wuwuwu, what exactly do you want? Can you please stay away from me?"

"What do I want?"

Luo Xing seemed to have truly immersed himself in the role of Vander Decken,

suddenly taking a step forward,

and violently wrapping his arms around Bai Xing’s slender waist.

Although Bai Xing was massive in size, her waist was very thin.

With Luo Xing’s arms wrapped around her, he could easily hold her.

"Ah!! Let go of me! Let go of me! Wuwuwu!!"

Bai Xing wailed, begging desperately for mercy.

Goosebumps rose all over her skin, which was as white and smooth as jade.

Because, other than her father, King Neptune,

this was the first time she had been this close to another man.

Especially since it was that villain, Vander Decken!

Bai Xing was truly so frightened she felt she might faint.

"Don't move! Don't scream! Otherwise, something terrible will happen!"

Timid as a mouse, Bai Xing believed him.

She covered her mouth, actually not daring to make another sound.

Only her increasingly trembling body and her bloodless cheeks

betrayed the panic in her heart.

Luo Xing had also become somewhat addicted to playing the villain.

He glanced at the sky.

It should be evening now;

the reason the palace was so bright was due to the light reflecting in from the seawater outside.

Furthermore, there were many night-luminescent pearls hanging around the palace.

Luo Xing used objects to cover those pearls,

and at the same time, pulled down the curtains around the palace, blocking out the light from outside.

The palace suddenly dimmed, becoming pitch black.

Bai Xing’s beautiful eyes were filled with extreme terror.

She was already timid by nature, and in such a dark environment,

her fear was magnified infinitely.

"It's over, it's over. Am I going to be killed?"

"Wuwu, Father, Brother, Boss Jinbe, someone save me!"

Bai Xing covered her mouth, emitting whimpering sounds.

Her pitiful appearance was truly heart-wrenching.

Luo Xing’s cold, hard voice softened:

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

"Come, let’s sit down and talk."

Luo Xing actually wanted to hold Bai Xing in his arms,

but Bai Xing’s size was simply too large; she couldn't sit on his lap at all.

Luo Xing was very dissatisfied with this.

If he couldn't hold a woman in his arms, a lot of the fun was lost.

He decided he would have to invent a gadget that could make people grow or shrink at will.

That way, he could shrink Bai Xing, or make himself grow larger.

He imagined that would be very interesting.

Setting aside future matters, he focused on the present.

Bai Xing, terrified to the extreme,

was carried by Luo Xing in the darkness

and placed on the edge of the bed.

Bai Xing covered her mouth and said tremblingly:

"Can you open the curtains? I’m afraid of the dark, it’s so scary."

"That won't do~"

Luo Xing’s breath appeared right by Bai Xing’s ear.

"You... you really are a bad person! You just lied and said you wouldn't hurt me! Wuwuwuwu~~~"

Bai Xing cried so sorrowfully.

Her tears were like pearls, dripping onto the floor and forming a torrent.

Luo Xing felt ashamed.

If he let Bai Xing cry like this, it wouldn't be long before the entire palace was flooded.

Luo Xing deepened his voice and said in a stern tone:

"Stop crying, or the entire Fish-Man Island will suffer!"

What?

Was he going to harm the entire Fish-Man Island too?

No, absolutely not!

She wouldn't cry, she wouldn't cry!

The kind-hearted Bai Xing would never want to see Fish-Man Island suffer because of her.

She desperately held back her tears, refusing to let them fall.

Luo Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

His voice became gentle once more:

"I said I wouldn't hurt you, don't be so afraid, little Bai Xing." ===== CHAPTER 300 =====

"I just wanted to talk about the biological question of how humans and merfolk reproduce."

253. Playing games with Bai Xing; is Ivankov going to turn Sanji into an Okama?

That night.

Luo Xing and Bai Xing had a profound discussion on how to reproduce across species.

Luo Xing also took the opportunity to study Bai Xing’s physical structure.

Why was Bai Xing able to become Poseidon?

Her mother’s body was clearly very thin and small, so why could Bai Xing grow to over ten meters tall?

These questions were very profound,

and Luo Xing had to study them very seriously.

Oh,

you ask why, if it was research, he had to pull the curtains and make it pitch black? How could he study in the dark?

Then you don't understand.

With Luo Xing’s current level,

even with only a faint glimmer of light, he could clearly see all of Bai Xing.

Besides.

Even if his eyes couldn't see, didn't he have his hands?

In many situations,

feeling with one's own hands is much more effective than looking with one's eyes.

Poor little Bai Xing,

trembling as she crouched on the bed,

dared neither to scream nor to cry.

Her pitiful appearance would stir tenderness even in an iron man.

Luo Xing felt he shouldn't scare Bai Xing too badly,

otherwise, it would cause her deep-seated psychological trauma that would be hard to heal,

and that would be counterproductive.

Once he had fully understood Bai Xing’s entire structure

and solved the puzzle of how humans and merfolk reproduce,

Luo Xing confessed his identity.

"Eh??!"

Bai Xing, who had been terrified just moments ago, immediately widened her eyes until they were larger than jewels.

She looked in shock at the handsome man who had finally revealed himself before her.

"You... you aren't Vander Decken? You are that... that Lord Luo Xing whom Boss Jinbe spoke of?!"

Luo Xing smiled and admitted:

"It is I. Little Bai Xing, don't be afraid; just now, I was only playing a game with you."

"This is a secret between us, don't tell anyone else."

Bai Xing’s mind was still a bit dazed.

Hearing Luo Xing say that what had just happened was only a game,

Bai Xing couldn't help but blush, shyly lowering her head.

Does a game last for an entire night?

And he even pulled the curtains shut...

This was too embarrassing.

Luo Xing said something else, and the timid, shy, and frightened Bai Xing was suddenly made to laugh.

Bai Xing was very simple.

Like a pure, flawless sheet of white paper.

She had heard of Luo Xing’s name from Jinbe,

and knew that her father had decided to pledge allegiance to the man before her,

meaning the future of Fish-Man Island was tied to this man.

Anyone who could be trusted by both Boss Jinbe and her father must be a good person.

Plus, Luo Xing was very skilled at dealing with women,

and with a few words, he completely gained Bai Xing’s trust.

The absurd behavior from last night was also twisted by Luo Xing, who claimed it was just a secret little game between them.

Bai Xing believed him.

She promised not to tell anyone.

And that this game would only be played with Luo Xing.

The two even linked pinkies, promising not to change for a hundred years.

Of course,

Bai Xing extended her pinky, while Luo Xing used his entire palm.

It was somewhat awkward.

Luo Xing decided to immediately go and develop a gadget that could make people grow or shrink.

Anyway, with the existence of the Anywhere Door,

traveling to Wano Country was extremely convenient,

and Luo Xing could instantly arrive at any territory of the Beasts Pirates.

He took out the Anywhere Door.

The curious Bai Xing also wanted to experience it.

Luo Xing had no objections.

So he took Bai Xing with him to Onigashima in Wano Country.

Luo Xing went directly into the laboratory.

His laboratory was now the most top-secret location of the Beasts Pirates.

Daily security was handled by the scientific unit led by Plague Queen.

And inside the laboratory, it was managed by his little secretary, Carrot.

Carrot was the little maid who had followed Luo Xing since he conquered Zou.

Adding the identity of little secretary was only natural.

"Yay, such a beautiful mermaid, Karuchu!"

When Carrot saw Bai Xing, her eyes immediately lit up.

She ran to Bai Xing’s side and rubbed against her.

Although the Mink Tribe was covered in fur, unexpectedly,

they were extremely fond of hairless creatures.

Aside from her hair and eyebrows, Bai Xing was basically hairless all over.

Her smooth, pink fish tail especially hit the Mink Tribe’s preference.

Carrot was very curious about Bai Xing.

Bai Xing was also very curious about Carrot.

"So ticklish, so ticklish, hahaha..."

Although it was the first time the two girls had met,

because they were both simple-minded, they quickly became good friends.

They played happily together.

Luo Xing smiled.

He let Carrot and Bai Xing play while he went to conduct his research.

Meanwhile. ===== CHAPTER 301 =====
