On our wedding day, I castrated my fiancée's white moonlight.

Ye Fan was speechless; so this was what Ye Weini was worried about!

"Look what this is?"

Ye Fan took out a storage ring.

"This is... Grandpa's storage ring?" Ye Weini looked at Ye Fan in surprise.

Grandpa always wore this on his hand, but now it's in Ye Fan's hands!

There are only two possibilities!

First, Grandpa is already dead. Ye Fan saw the body and took the storage ring with him!

Secondly, Grandpa didn't die; he personally handed the storage ring to Ye Fan!

If Grandpa was killed by the Blood Robe Sect, how could the Blood Robe Sect possibly have left behind a storage ring?

Therefore, the second possibility must be true!

"Is Grandpa really alright?"

"Eat well, take your medicine properly, and recover completely before going back to see for yourself!"

Ye Fan was too lazy to explain.

"Okay! I want to eat! I want to take my medicine!"

Ye Weini cried out.

Hua Nongyue and Hua Nongyu quickly stepped forward carrying food and medicine!

Ye Fan left and went to Tang Miaoyi's residence. She was sitting at her desk, looking very seriously at a stack of blueprints, making corrections with her charcoal pencil with great focus!

Ye Fan walked up behind her without Tang Miaoyi noticing!

Look at the blueprints!

Ye Fan was completely stunned: "Holy crap! A cannon?"

"You're back!"

Tang Miaoyi was pleasantly surprised. She turned around and smiled when she saw Ye Fan. She took Ye Fan's hand and led him to the table, pointing to the drawings on it:

"This was designed based on your grenades and those two guns!"

"I was thinking, since bullets can fly, grenades should be able to fly too, right?"

"All we need to do is enlarge and thicken the barrel, and load enough gunpowder!"

"You just mentioned 'Cannon'... Hmm... that sounds like a good name!"

Tang Miaoyi nodded thoughtfully.

Ye Fan was simply astonishing!

Tang Miaoyi is indeed a genius!

As an ancient person, he actually designed the blueprints for a cannon!

Suppressing his excitement, Ye Fan carefully examined the blueprints and said, "We can make some minor modifications to produce cannons of two different sizes!"

"A weapon about half a foot in diameter, which can be carried on the shoulder and fired! It's fast-moving and can be carried quickly during marches!"

"Another type of cannon has a diameter of about a foot and a length of over five meters; it can be placed on city walls for long-range combat!"

"Huh? You can do that!"

After hearing Ye Fan's words, Tang Miaoyi's beautiful eyes sparkled with a strange light.

A flash of inspiration struck me!

Sit down quickly!

With a charcoal pencil in hand, I begin revising the drawing!

A full hour passed before Tang Miaoyi finally stopped!

"Phew! Done!"

She exhaled a breath of stale air.

Looking back, Ye Fan was sitting not far away, looking at him with a smile!

"Why are you still here?" Tang Miaoyi asked in surprise.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "You look beautiful when you're serious!"

Tang Miaoyi blushed: "You're teasing me again!"

"By the way, I've already sent my men to infiltrate Japan to search for your parents!" Ye Fan said.

Tang Miaoyi was taken aback, her beautiful eyes reddening slightly: "Ye Fan, thank you..."

She threw herself into Ye Fan's arms!

"Do we still talk about these things between us?"

Ye Fan wrapped his arms around her.

After a while, Ye Fan's hands became increasingly restless!

Tang Miaoyi's breathing quickened! Ever since she and Ye Fan had consummated their relationship, it was as if a switch had been flipped in her body, and currents of electricity surged through her—a truly wondrous sensation!

Just as they were about to insert Tang Miaoyi into the room!

Suddenly, a rough voice came from outside:

"Your Highness! Something has happened!"

Tang Miaoyi lived in the backyard, and unless Ye Fan gave the order, Wang Danian would never dare to break in! Let alone Tang Miaoyi's residence!

Wang Danian is so flustered, something terrible must have happened!

Ye Fan loosened Tang Miaoyi's clothes, tidied his clothes, and left the room.

Wang Danian was covered in sweat, his armor askew, clearly having run all the way here!

"explain!"

"News from the East China Sea! Last night, Japanese pirates attacked three fishing villages outside Yongning Port in the East China Sea, killing over three hundred people and abducting more than fifty villagers!"

Wang Danian dared not stop, and while catching his breath, he quickly said, "The Eighth Miss was furious and personally led a small warship and three hundred men out to sea to intercept them, chasing them for a whole day!"

Ye Fan inwardly cried out in alarm: "Why only three hundred men?"

"The sea is the domain of the Japanese pirates! Eighth Sister, with so few people, aren't you just being tricked?"

Wang Danian's eyes were bloodshot, his rugged face contorted with rage: "These beasts have been shouting at sea! Every fifteen minutes, they kill one of my Great Xia's citizens and throw him into the sea!"

"Our large ships are too slow to catch up with the Japanese pirates! Miss Eight has no choice but to pursue them in a small boat!"

Ye Fan's expression fluctuated.

"What's the situation now?"

"Three hours ago, all contact was completely lost! The East China Sea has been experiencing torrential rains recently, and the sea is shrouded in dense fog!"

"The news came back that several lieutenants had sent men to search at sea, but the thick fog caused them to lose their way, and the ships that went out to search for them had lost contact..."

Ye Fan's pupils contracted!

Given the Japanese pirates' modus operandi, the consequences would be unimaginable if Eighth Sister fell into their hands!

"Let's go, into the palace!"

Ye Fan left quickly.

……

The inner palace.

The bedchamber was brightly lit, and Li Youruo was reviewing memorials.

"The Prince of Zhenbei has arrived!"

Upon hearing the eunuch's report from outside the hall, Li Youruo looked up in surprise, only to find Ye Fan had already pushed open the door and entered!

"Ye Fan? What are you doing here so late..."

A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes!

Could it be that Ye Fan wants me? Impossible... This guy is arrogant and proud, and he has Hua Nongyu, Hua Nongyue, and Tang Miaoyi by his side!

There's absolutely no way they would come looking for me in the middle of the night!

But she still asked in a slightly teasing tone, "What? Do you need me to detoxify you?"

Ye Fan's expression was extremely solemn: "I want the Azure Phoenix!"

Li Youruo was stunned for a moment!

Without hesitation, she nodded and took out a jade-carved whistle from her bosom. Since she inherited the throne, she had been in control of the Azure Phoenix!

"What happened?"

Li Youruo stepped down from the imperial steps and personally handed the whistle to Ye Fan!

Ye Fan said coldly, "I was too merciful to the Japanese pirates! Not ruthless enough, not cruel enough!"

……

East China Sea.

early morning.

The world was pitch black, and not even the stars could be seen on the sea!

The thick fog, like the jaws of a giant beast, swallowed everything!

Three warships of the Fufeng clan were anchored in the fog, their lights flickering, and laughter and shouts came from the deck!

The largest ship has seven wooden stakes erected along the railing at its stern!

Seven fishermen from Daxia were tied to wooden stakes with hemp ropes, covered in blood. Some had already lost their breath, while others were still twitching slightly!

A short Japanese pirate sat on the deck, clutching a string of bloody things in his hand, and threw them into the iron pot next to him! It was a liver cut off from a fisherman from the Great Xia!

"Slice it thinly! Slice it thinly! It tastes best with soy sauce!"

Another Japanese pirate squatted down next to him, holding a short knife and slicing meat, chuckling to himself!

Inside the cabin.

The sound of a woman crying and clothes being torn could be heard!

Two Japanese pirates dragged a young girl out of the cabin!

The young woman's clothes were torn, her face was streaked with tears, and she could no longer make a sound!

A Japanese pirate grinned lewdly, "Alright, alright, next one!"

On the wooden stake, a middle-aged fisherman bit his lip tightly, blood seeping from between his lips: "Lian'er..."

"Brother Qing... I'm sorry..."

The young woman cried out in a daze, when suddenly a Japanese pirate appeared beside her with a sword!

How could a woman who had been tortured for several hours possibly be a match for the Japanese pirates? She was subdued in one fell swoop!

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll kill you beasts!"

The woman let out a roar.

"Hahaha! It seems she wants more?"

"Then we'll grant her wish!"

Several Japanese pirates rushed forward!
