I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

It's hard to imagine that such a monster died at her hands.

"Well done, it would be even better if you could have pierced a little deeper."

While moving his arm, which was throbbing from exerting too much force, Parker casually praised Sarah.

"Thanks......"

Upon hearing this, Sarah calmed her excited emotions and responded softly.

The more this happened, the more unperturbed Sarah appeared.

But what no one noticed was...

Sarah glanced silently at Li Ang standing on the helm, a delicate blush creeping onto her cheeks.

Some people are born to do great things; this is what is known as talent.

Even Li Ang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but marvel at Sarah's talent.

This must be what they call a woman destined for heaven.

Sarah's rise to become the future Empress of the Sea was certainly not due to luck.

......

After hunting that large sea monster, the Fear never encountered a similar large sea monster again.

After capturing some more small to medium-sized sea creatures, each four or five meters long, night gradually approached.

Nighttime is clearly not a good time for hunting.

The Fear's cabins could hold plenty of prey, so Pete clearly had no intention of turning back.

It is clear that the Fear will spend the night at sea.

Night falls, inside the cabin of the Fearful.

This is a tiny room, less than five square meters in size, barely big enough to fit a small bed.

But compared to the sailors sleeping on communal beds, it was already quite good.

Sarah tossed and turned in her small bed, unable to fall asleep.

Because she wasn't the only resident in this small house.

Li Ang went to keep watch on the deck, and someone relieved him in the latter half of the night.

At that time, Li Ang will return to this cramped little house.

Then......

Sharing a bed with Sarah...

There was no other way; after all, this was at sea, and conditions were very limited.

It's already quite good to have this little house to live in.

Even so, Sarah still felt incredibly shy when she thought about what was about to happen.

Although she had developed some inexplicable feelings for Li Ang, they had only known each other for two short days!

Isn't this... a bit too fast?

Lost in this conflicted state of mind, Sarah remained in a semi-conscious state until the early hours of the morning.

"Squeak..."

That's the sound of the door being opened.

Upon hearing the voice, Sarah suddenly woke up.

He is back!

Thinking of this, Sarah's body tensed up.

Soon, Sarah was able to clearly sense a body lying on the small bed.

Even from the depths of her being, Sarah could sense a unique aura of the opposite sex emanating from beside her.

"Don't think too much, just go to sleep."

Suddenly, a gentle voice reached Sarah's ears.

This made Sarah feel a little embarrassed, because Leon had already realized that she was not asleep.

Perhaps it was Li Ang's comforting words that worked, because Sarah quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.

In a blur, she felt as if she had returned to her mother's embrace.

This embrace seems to contain a unique warmth.

It makes people feel exceptionally comfortable and at ease.

The next day, when Sarah woke up, there was no one beside her.

Sarah couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, Li Ang had left beforehand; otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to face him.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: This time, it's because I believe in myself.

In her hazy state, Sarah recalled the warm embrace of the previous night.

Unconsciously, a hint of shyness and tenderness appeared in the girl's eyes.

......

Even on the perilous sea, the group did not encounter the same danger as the flying fish tide of yesterday.

Today was a relatively calm day; the Fear only caught seven or eight small to medium-sized sea monsters.

Similarly, today is yet another day that Sarah is being chased and scolded by Parker.

As dusk approached once again.

"That's about it. This voyage has been very fruitful!"

Pete took out something that looked like an abacus and tapped it around for a while before announcing the news of returning to port to the surrounding sailors!

"Oooo!!!"

The sailors cheered in unison; every single one of them was overjoyed to be able to return to Bilgewater alive.

Every time they set sail, even the most ordinary sailor would receive at least ten silver snake coins!

That's a lot of money!

With this money, they could go back to Bilgewater and live a life of pleasure for a while.

Amidst the sailors' jubilation, the Fear began its return journey.

Soon, before nightfall, the sailors on the Fear began to vaguely see the outline of Bilgewater.

"May the Snake Mother protect me!!"

"Thank you, wonderful bearded lady!"

"..."

On the deck, the sound of sailors praying in ecstasy suddenly filled the air.

Everyone present was praying, but Li Ang stood out from the crowd.

Even Sarah closed her eyes as a sign of respect for Nagakaporos.

After all, as Bilgewater people, the majesty of the goddess Balu was already deeply ingrained in their hearts.

"Li Ang, aren't you going to offer a prayer?"

"To survive in Bilgewater, you need to have a sense of awe for the bearded lady."

At that moment, a deep voice sounded in Li Ang's ear.

Li Ang turned his head and saw Parker, who had a cold face but a warm heart.

"No, I worship the great Dark Lord."

"It is inconvenient to pray to other gods."

Li Ang said with a smile, which surprised Parker.

Two days of interaction had already established in Pike's mind that Li Ang was a "swordsman with superb swordsmanship".

Now, Li Ang's words made Pike feel as if he had discovered a new continent.

"I didn't expect you to be a devout believer in the gods."

Parker's tone carried a hint of amazement.

In reality, in Bilgewater, people's faith in Nagakabolos is mostly perfunctory or driven by fear of Nagakabolos.

People who truly believe in God are indeed a rare breed in Bilgewater.

"But this god is called the 'Dark Lord'."

"Why have I never heard of this before?"

Parker asked, somewhat puzzled.
