Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 517 Chen Jie: Setting Sail, To the Battlefield! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Is the Siamese royal advisor still alive?

Chen Jie stared at the one-eyed pirate in shock, while the one-eyed pirate looked completely bewildered and said, "He... he's been fine all along!"

Chen Jie took a deep breath and looked at the one-eyed pirate: "Is the Siamese royal advisor you're talking about the one I know?"

The one-eyed pirate spoke up: "Siam has only ever had one national advisor, and that is Lord Basong. Apart from him, there has never been another national advisor in Siam. In fact, the position of national advisor was only created when Siam suffered a setback. Siam did not have the title of national advisor before."

"I heard that this Grand Preceptor was established at the suggestion of Lord Basong, modeled after the Great Qian Dynasty in the north."

"Only then did the countries of Southeast Asia launch fire prevention campaigns, which is why the title of 'National Preceptor' is now used in various Southeast Asian countries."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the one-eyed pirate and said, "So, the entire Kingdom of Siam only has one Grand Preceptor, Basong?"

The one-eyed pirate nodded firmly. That's right, there was only one imperial advisor.

Chen Jiedao: "So, in this naval battle in the South China Sea, the ancient Siamese national teacher, Basong, did not participate?"

The one-eyed pirate said, "That's right. The war was initiated by Prince Wuping. It seems that the Grand Preceptor had some domestic matters to attend to and was in a hurry to return, which is why he hasn't participated in the war. However, it seems that the domestic matter is coming to an end recently, so he has time to participate in the upcoming naval battle."

"The reason why King Wuping told us to hurry up and collect grain is so that we can collect enough military rations when the Grand Preceptor returns, and then we can directly engage in a decisive battle with the allied forces of the Southeast Asian countries."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie nodded slightly.

However, his brows furrowed even more. This Siamese royal preceptor, Pasong, was incredibly wicked. He had clearly watched as the dragon tore him in two, and such an injury could never possibly heal.

but!

How is it possible that the Siamese royal preceptor is alive and well?

At this moment, Chen Jie began to sort out various possibilities in his mind. As for why the Siamese National Preceptor was able to live, Chen Jie had a few ideas. One was that he had hallucinated when he was hit by the dragon that day, and everything he saw was an illusion. The Siamese National Preceptor was not torn apart, but was alive and well. It was all a fantasy that he saw.

If that's the case, then everything makes sense.

The second possibility is that the Siamese national teacher may not be a single person, but rather a twin, triplets, or even quadruplets, similar to the relationship between Qiu Qianzhang and Qiu Qianchi in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

This newly emerged imperial advisor might not be the one I met in Qianlong Abyss, but an imposter.

If that were the case, it would have led to the current situation.

If neither of the above two possibilities is correct, there is even a third possibility, which is the one Chen Jie least wants to believe.

That is, this Siamese royal master possesses an immortal body, or a terrifying ability similar to resurrection.

This might be considered nonsense in other places, but it's not impossible in Siam, which is a mysterious place.

Moreover, there are many legends about this place since ancient times, such as the magical black magic and evil arts like raising ghost children.

If there really were a way to bring the dead back to life, Chen Jie felt it wouldn't be entirely unfounded.

If that's the case, then things will get complicated.

It should be noted that Chen Jie's purpose in going to Southeast Asia was to rescue Fang Guozhen, who was imprisoned by the Siamese national teacher. In other words, if Chen Jie wanted to rescue Fang Guozhen, he could not bypass the Siamese national teacher, Basong.

So Chen Jie's target is Basong.

This Basong is so strange, he seems to have a terrifying ability to be reborn after death. It would be very stressful for him to deal with such a terrifying being. Even though Chen Jie has a powerful trump card now, that is the divine blood in his body.

The Divine Blood is an explosive ability with unparalleled explosive power. It can be said that when the Divine Blood is forcibly unleashed, cultivators below the level of a terrestrial immortal are powerless to fight it. It can be said that the Divine Blood is the strongest attack method below the level of a terrestrial immortal.

Of course, the price was also huge. Chen Jie lay in bed for more than a month and almost died from the backlash of the immortal blood.

However, it's worth it to pay the price of lying down for a month in exchange for an opportunity to take down the opponent.

However, Chen Jie felt somewhat helpless against Basong, because Basong's strength had reached the second level of the Fusion God realm, and he couldn't defeat him. Even if he used the Immortal Blood to kill him instantly, it would still be troublesome if he couldn't figure out whether Basong had some kind of immortality.

Thinking this, Chen Jie looked at the one-eyed pirate and asked, "How long have you been a pirate?"

The one-eyed pirate thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Twenty years, I suppose."

"Hmm, it's neither too long nor too short. Have you heard anything about the Siamese national teacher while you were at sea, such as legends or other stories?"

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed pirate looked at Chen Jie, frowned slightly, and after a long while, finally spoke: "I... I do know a rumor about a Siamese royal advisor."

"Oh?"

The one-eyed pirate looked at Chen Jie and said, "I can tell you it, but you, I, I want to exchange this rumor for my life!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the one-eyed pirate and said, "It's just a rumor. If you don't answer, I'll ask others. Do you think it can save your life?"

The one-eyed pirate replied, "Yes, that's right. I'm not the only one who knows this rumor, but it's from twenty years ago. Finding a sailor from twenty years ago on the high seas isn't as easy as you might think, so..."

The one-eyed pirate said, "Why go to all this trouble? Besides, in the eyes of someone as important as you, I'm just an ant. You could easily crush me or let me go. Why bother arguing with me?"

"You agree, don't you?"

The one-eyed pirate said to Chen Jie, who chuckled and replied, "Alright, I agree. I won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed pirate's face lit up with joy, and he said, "You, you've made up your mind."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie retorted, "What are you to me? You think you're worthy of my deception!"

The one-eyed pirate's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, for this was exactly the kind of thing a great man should say.

Chen Jie looked at the one-eyed pirate and said, "I'll give you one last chance. You can speak now."

The one-eyed pirate immediately spoke up: "Twenty years ago, a fierce battle took place in Siam. The reason was that the old capital of the Sukhothai Kingdom, the greatest kingdom in Siam's history a thousand years ago, was discovered on Koh Samui. It is said that the tomb of the first monarch of the Sukhothai Kingdom, who had a spirit who called himself Satila, is buried there."

"And the final victor of that great battle was the current Siamese National Preceptor, Pasong."

"Moreover, I've heard that Basong found a great treasure in that tomb, but no one knows exactly what it is."

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed pirate looked at Chen Jie and said, "My lord, I have told you everything I know. Please keep your promise and spare my lowly life."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the one-eyed pirate and asked, "You don't know exactly what that great treasure is?"

One-Eyed Pirate: "Nobody knows what it is. Although many people were mobilized in that great battle, very few survived."

Chen Jie nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked at the one-eyed pirate and asked, "One last question: where are King Wuping currently at war with the various kingdoms of the South Seas?"

Upon hearing this, the one-eyed pirate spoke up: "The waters near the Sosa Islands."

Chen Jie nodded slightly and said, "Alright, I've finished asking my questions."

The next moment, Chen Jie gently tapped his chest, and the one-eyed pirate immediately collapsed to the ground.

Then, staring wide-eyed at Chen Jie, he said, "You, how could you do this? You said you wouldn't kill me."

Chen Jie looked at the one-eyed pirate and said, "I didn't kill you, I just crippled your martial arts."

The one-eyed pirate's face turned ugly upon hearing this, but he managed a smile. Although he wished he could tear Chen Jiu to pieces, he dared not, he truly dared not. He could only secretly vent all his anger on the people of the surrounding islands.

Who is he? A one-eyed pirate of great stature! Yet today, he is seen in such a dejected state by those around him. This is an utter disgrace! Just wait, once he comes to his senses, he will definitely come back to this island. Oh, and this little wench too. If I can't have her today, I'll have her in my mouth another day.

The one-eyed pirate's single eye now revealed an extremely sinister gaze.

Chen Jie stood up at this moment. Old Zhong hesitated, but Er Niu, who was impatient, stood up and came to Chen Jie's side, saying, "Ninth, Ninth Brother, you, you're just letting him go like this!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Er Niu and said, "I said I won't kill him."

"But we can't let him go! These pirates are venomous snakes. If we don't kill them now, they'll come back for revenge!"

"Ah, don't make false accusations. I... I won't retaliate."

Upon hearing Erniu's words, the one-eyed pirate immediately shouted loudly, swearing that he would never retaliate.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at the pirate behind him and said, "He said he won't retaliate."

"You can believe what pirates say!"

Upon hearing this, Erniu immediately shouted sternly. After hearing Erniu's words, Chen Jie said in a calm voice, "I'll say it again, I promised I wouldn't kill him, and I keep my word."

"But……"

Erniu's face was full of resentment, while the one-eyed pirate breathed a sigh of relief. This fool actually meant to keep his word. What an idiotic thing to do! Fine, you won't kill me. But when I turn around, I'll definitely report you. Even though I've lost my cultivation, if I can get a bounty in return, it's still very worthwhile.

Thinking of this, a glint appeared in the pirate's eyes.

Chen Jie then looked at the bewildered Erniu and continued, "I'll say it again, I... I can't kill him, understand?"

"what?"

Erniu was completely bewildered.

Chen Jie had never seen anyone so foolish. He took a deep breath and said, "I said, the only one I can't kill is him. Don't you understand?"

"what!"

Erniu suddenly realized and immediately said, "Brother Jiu Si, you can't kill him, but I can, right?"

At this moment, Chen Jie patted Erniu on the shoulder.

At that moment, the one-eyed pirate also heard this and immediately cried out, "Oh, sir, you can't do this! You can't break your promise! You, you can't..."

Chen Jie looked at him calmly and said, "I said I wouldn't kill you, and I failed to do so?"

"But……"

The one-eyed pirate wanted to say something, but Chen Jie ignored him and said to Erniu, "Let's do it!" "This..."

Unexpectedly, Erniu hesitated. Chen Jie frowned slightly, and then he saw Erniu trembling slightly.

"You've never killed anyone?"

Chen Jie looked at Er Niu and asked.

Erniu nodded slightly upon hearing this, his hands still trembling.

Chen Jie said, "This sea is not peaceful; pirates roam freely. Today it's this one-eyed pirate, tomorrow it might be another pirate. He didn't do anything to the fisherwoman today, but that doesn't mean the next pirate won't do anything to her."

"And you don't want to be helplessly pinned to the ground every time, watching others bully your fisherwoman, do you?"

Erniu trembled all over upon hearing this, gripping the fish knife in his hand even tighter.

Chen Jie continued, "Making a living at sea is not like on land, where you have the protection of a powerful nation. Here you enjoy freedom, but the price is that you need to have enough strength to protect your family and loved ones."

"If you can't even protect your loved one, haha, then you're not qualified to marry and have children, are you?"

"Go, kill him! Afterwards, I'll teach you how to become stronger!"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, Er Niu's eyes suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on the fish knife in his hand.

It lunged directly towards the one-eyed pirate.

The fisherwoman was so frightened that she closed her eyes. Old Zhong then put his arm around her and turned her back to him.

At this moment, Erniu arrived in front of the one-eyed pirate. The one-eyed pirate was terrified. Chen Jie had destroyed his cultivation, and his limbs were weak and he couldn't even get up. When he saw Erniu coming over with red eyes, he immediately begged for mercy.

"Brother Erniu, don't be impulsive. You're a good person, aren't you? You're a good person, aren't you!"

The one-eyed pirate cried out in terror that Erniu was a good person, but Erniu, his eyes bloodshot, roared, "Are good people meant to be bullied by you? I don't want to be bullied by you anymore, ah~"

As he spoke, Erniu rushed straight up to the one-eyed pirate and started stabbing wildly with his fish knife.

If he had killed someone before, he would know where the vital points were and a single blow would be fatal. But Erniu, that idiot, just stabbed wildly with the fish knife, five or six times, each stab avoiding vital points. The one-eyed pirate rolled around in pain, yelling, "You fucking stab me to death! Are you fucking doing this on purpose?!"

The one-eyed pirate was truly miserable. If Chen Jiu had killed him, a single finger would have been enough to turn his brain into mush, resulting in a painless death. But now, the guy was stabbed by Er Niu and was covered in blood; he looked utterly wretched.

It can be said that the one-eyed pirate chose a very tragic way to die.

No one knows how many times he was stabbed. Erniu collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even lift his arms, panting heavily.

He was still covered in blood, his face filled with terror. It was his first time killing someone, and he looked genuinely terrified.

However, he was still muttering, "I'll let you touch the fisherwoman, I'll let you touch the fisherwoman."

Seeing him panting heavily, Old Zhong patted the fisherwoman, who turned around and saw Erniu, who looked like a blood-soaked man, and immediately rushed over to him.

"Two cows!"

Erniu then looked at the fisherwoman and said, "Fisherwoman, don't worry, no one will be able to hurt you anymore, no one will be able to hurt you anymore!"

Upon hearing this, the fisherwoman's face broke into a smile that was both tearful and amused, and she said, "Yes!"

At this moment, Old Zhong slowly approached Chen Jie and bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving my life."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately helped Old Zhong up and said, "Uncle Zhong, with our relationship, there's no need for you to thank me."

Uncle Zhong said with a wry smile, "I... I didn't know you were such an important person. If I had known you were such an important person, I really wouldn't have dared to save you."

He was telling the truth. Many people think that by saving a big shot, they can rise to prominence. But they don't realize that serving a powerful person is like serving a tiger. The consequences of being with a big shot are not as wonderful as they imagine.

Thinking this, Chen Jie said to Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, I'm leaving today."

Uncle Zhong was taken aback. Chen Jie said, "Before you leave, I'll give you a chance to repay the kindness you've shown me these past few days."

At this point, Chen Jie said, "Now that the Great Qian is in chaos, I am a rebel king from the Great Qian, and my territory is in Huangzhou Prefecture, Hubei Road. If you feel you've had enough of living on this island, you can come to the Great Qian to find me, and I will arrange a place for you to stay and allocate land to you."

After hearing this, Uncle Zhong pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, we've gotten used to island life, so we won't go back."

Chen Jie said, "Well, there's no rush. The internal strife in Daqian hasn't stopped yet, so going back now would indeed be dangerous. If you stay on the island, you can say that you are citizens under the protection of the Divine Dragon Sect."

“The leader of the Divine Dragon Cult is my sworn brother. Once I’ve finished what I’m doing, I’ll have him send a flag to our island. From now on, attacking you will be equivalent to starting a war with the Divine Dragon Cult, which will guarantee your safety.”

"Ah, the Divine Dragon Cult!"

Uncle Zhong was startled by these words, after all, few people who made a living at sea were unaware of the fame of the Divine Dragon Sect.

Thinking this, I saw Uncle Zhong bow and thank me again.

Just as the group was talking, a group of people suddenly rushed in from a distance. This group of people was armed with swords and knives and charged straight at them. These were the remaining pirates who had come to the island, a total of more than twenty people.

Just then, he rushed over with a knife, shouting, "Where are you? Where are you? Who's causing trouble here!"

Old Zhong trembled with fear at the sight of so many openly armed pirates. Chen Jie, on the other hand, turned cold at the sight of these lowly henchmen, took a step forward, and then unleashed an immense surge of power that crushed the henchmen.

These henchmen suddenly felt as if they had been crushed by a giant dragon. Their legs went weak and they fell to the ground with a thud. Then, they trembled wildly like sieves.

It was a fear that came from the depths of one's soul.

Chen Jie wasn't good at releasing this kind of pressure before, but after using a kind of divine blood, he suddenly understood a method of exerting pressure on the soul. This method can directly affect the soul of the weak. If they don't have a strong will, they will definitely be completely crushed by Chen Jie's pressure, just like these pirate henchmen.

This ability is somewhat similar to Conqueror's Haki in One Piece.

It is a powerful ability that affects the enemy's mind.

At this moment, Chen Jie took a step forward, looked at the henchmen scattered on the ground, and then saw a guy who looked like a leader and asked, "Are you their leader?"

Upon hearing this, the man quickly shook his head.

Chen Jie said, "Lying will get you killed."

"Ah~ I, I am the first mate of the One-Eyed Dragon Pirate Crew."

At this moment, the leader spoke up. Chen Jie said, "Very good. I like honest people. Now I'm going to announce something. Your captain, One-Eyed Dragon, has been killed by me. I'm going to be your captain from now on. Does anyone want to take this?"

Upon hearing this, all the pirates present spoke up, "No."

At this moment, Chen Jie took out a black bottle from his storage ring, poured out a very small pill, and handed it to the first mate, saying, "Eat this."

"This, what is this?"

The first mate asked in alarm.

"Have you heard of black magic? This is a kind of poison similar to black magic. After you take it, you must obey my orders. Otherwise, if you don't get the antidote within a month, you will die from your bodies exploding."

"Ah~"

The first mate was terrified upon hearing this. Chen Jie said, "Of course you can choose not to eat. If you don't eat, then you're my enemy. If you're my enemy, then you'll die!"

The first mate had no choice but to bite the bullet and swallow it.

Chen Jie then handed the black bottle to the first mate and said, "From now on, you keep an eye on them eating. If even one of them doesn't eat, and something happens in the future, I'll kill you!"

Upon hearing Chen Jie's words, the first mate immediately replied, "Yes, don't worry, I'll make sure they take their medicine properly!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie nodded to the first mate and said, "Very good. If you do this well, you'll still be the first mate."

After saying this, Chen Jie ignored them and wasn't afraid of their tricks. As long as he controlled the leader, everything else would be easy.

At this moment, Chen Jie said to them, "After you finish taking your medicine, go to the ship and take half of the looted grain and send it to the island, do you understand?"

"Yes!"

The pirates immediately agreed, and then Chen Jie turned to look at Uncle Zhong and said, "Uncle Zhong, then I'll take my leave now. I hope we'll meet again sometime."

After saying this, Chen Jie said to Er Niu, who had recovered somewhat, "Er Niu."

Erniu was helped up by the fisherwoman, and then she took out a very thin sword manual from her bosom.

Five Tigers Severing the Gate with a Saber

Chen Jie handed it to Erniu and said, "This is the power I promised you. Study it well, and once you've mastered it, it will be enough for you to protect the fisherwoman."

"Ah, thank you, Brother Jiu Si."

Chen Jie looked at the fisherwoman whose face was still wet with tears and said, "Sister, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to your wedding with Erniu. Here, take this hairpin."

Chen Jie had many treasures in his storage ring, so he casually picked out a gold hairpin.

The fisherwoman tried to refuse, but Chen Jie said, "Take it."

Finally, Chen Jie looked at Uncle Zhong, took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring, and handed it to him, saying, "These are pills to maintain your health. You and your aunt should take them, and you should be able to live to be seventy or eighty years old without any problem."

"This is too precious."

Uncle Zhong said the same thing.

Chen Jie ignored their explanation and finally told Gouzi to practice martial arts well before turning around and heading towards the pirate ship.

A major battle awaits him!
