Pirates: Going out to sea? Cultivate to the Mahayana stage first

She was fascinated by Anno's heroic performance in battle and the extraordinary wisdom he displayed.

Gradually, this admiration turned into a deeper and irrepressible emotion.

Laqi wants to become Annuo's Taoist partner.

After An Nuo heard what Laqi said, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but smile: "Haha, these words couldn't be taught to you by Nami."

When Laqi was asked this question, her originally firm expression suddenly became flustered. A blush appeared on her fair face. She opened her lips slightly, but hesitated to speak. In the end, she only stammered in response: "Well... not entirely. In fact, this is what I want to say in my heart."

Seeing this, An Nuo asked with interest: "Oh? Really? Then do you know what Taoist companion means?"

When Laqi heard this question, she was startled for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself. Her eyes became bright and firm, and she replied, "Well, of course I know! Master, Nami and the others told me about it before."

After saying this, he did not forget to straighten his chest, as if to prove to An Nuo that what he said was true.

Seeing Laqi so cute, An Nuo was stunned at first, and then an extremely gentle smile appeared on his face.

He slowly reached out his hand, gently held Laqi's soft little hand, and said softly: "Laki, if from today on, you are willing, then from now on, you will no longer be just my maid, but..." Having said that, Annuo deliberately paused, wanting to see how Laqi would react.

At this time, Laqi's face was already red, and her heartbeat was uncontrollably accelerated. But she still pretended to be calm and said with courage: "No, Master, no matter what, I will always be your most loyal maid! But...if possible, can you also let me become your Taoist partner?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Laqi was too shy to look up and look into Annuo's eyes. She only felt her cheeks burning hot.

After hearing this, An Nuo smiled and nodded to show his agreement.

When Laqi saw this, tears of joy suddenly flashed in her eyes. She nodded excitedly, and then like a happy little bird, she suddenly threw herself into Anno's warm arms.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun fell softly on the two of them like a golden gauze, making their tightly embraced figures appear particularly beautiful and moving, as if they were covered with a layer of sacred and dazzling golden light.

Not far away, Nami, Nojiko and Kerla were quietly watching this warm and romantic scene.

A relieved smile appeared on their faces at the same time, and they were sincerely happy for the sincere feelings between Annuo and Laqi.

The breeze blew gently, blowing their hair and taking away the worries and troubles in their hearts, leaving only full of blessings and expectations.

Inside the cabin of the Orange Cabin, the night was as thick as insoluble ink, rendering the entire space pitch black.

Only the stars shone through the porthole, casting a few faint and cold lights, like silver threads interweaving in the darkness.

Laqi stood quietly in front of Annuo's door. Her heartbeat was like a rapid drumbeat, which was particularly loud in the silent night.

Her hands tightly grasped a thin gauze dress, as if it was her last support and courage. At this moment, her cheeks were flushed with an intoxicating blush, like a ripe apple, but her eyes were shining with an unwavering light.

Laqi knew very well that tonight was an extremely precious opportunity for her and she must seize it.

Because from Nami and the others, she had learned that An Nuo was actually a person who had eaten the mysterious Xiuxian Fruit, and his true strength was unfathomable. Moreover, she also knew that An Nuo was now at a critical period and needed a woman with pure body and mind to practice with him, so as to stabilize and break through his strength.

Despite this, Laqi showed no intention of backing down.

On the contrary, she made this decision willingly, because deep in her heart, she had always longed to take a step further with An Nuo and become one of the irreplaceable and indispensable people in his life.

Lucky summoned up all her courage, raised her hand and gently knocked on the door.

Although the knock on the door was gentle, it was unusually clear in the quiet atmosphere. She said in a slightly trembling but expectant voice: "Master, it's me, Laqi."

After a moment, An Nuo's usual gentle voice came from inside the door: "Come in."

Hearing this, Laqi took a deep breath, slowly opened the door, and then walked into the room with light steps...

An Nuo sat cross-legged quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint aura.

That layer of spiritual energy was like light smoke, rising up and slowly dissipating, making him look otherworldly, as if he was out of tune with this noisy world.

At this moment, An Nuo suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes that were originally as calm as water.

I saw Laqi standing not far away, wearing a transparent gauze dress as light as a cicada's wing. Her graceful figure was faintly visible under the gauze, making her look even more attractive.

The soft moonlight shone through the window onto her snow-white skin, as if giving it a layer of hazy and mysterious silver glow.

"Laqi, you are..."

An Nuo's voice was slightly hesitant and surprised, but a barely perceptible understanding flashed across his eyes.

Obviously, he had already anticipated Laqi's bold outfit at the moment and what might happen next.

Laqilian took light steps and slowly walked in front of An Nuo, then knelt on her knees, raised her head, and looked straight into An Nuo's eyes without dodging.

Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze, but the firmness contained in it was unquestionable: "Master, I know you need a woman with pure body and mind to practice the method of double rest with you. So, please allow me - Laqi, to willingly dedicate everything I have to you. This is not only to help you improve your cultivation level, but also because I have already fallen deeply in love with you in my heart."

Hearing this confession, An Nuo smiled slightly. He slowly stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Laqi's delicate and tender cheek.

The moment his fingertips touched her skin, he could clearly feel her body tremble slightly. An Nuo lowered his head, leaned close to Laqi's ear, and whispered in a low and magnetic voice: "Laqi, do you really understand what the consequences will be after taking this step? Once we start the road of dual cultivation, there will be no turning back."

For An Nuo, ever since he completed the dual cultivation with him, it was like he had embarked on a path of no return.

At this time, Laqi nodded slightly in agreement, without even a hint of hesitation in her bright eyes: "Of course I know what's going on, and I am willing to share everything with you..."

Hearing these words, An Nuo couldn't help but take a deep breath, as if after an intense inner struggle, he finally nodded slightly.

Then, he suddenly stood up and gently helped Laqi up from the ground.

Then, he opened his arms, and as if protecting a rare treasure, he carefully held Laqi in his arms.

His broad palm rested lightly on Laqi's back, and as his mind moved, strands of pure and rich spiritual energy continuously flowed into Laqi's body like a gurgling stream.

In an instant, Laqi felt an incomparably warm force flowing through her meridians. It was as if a long-sealed mysterious seal had been opened.

As this power continued to penetrate her, her originally heavy body gradually became as light as the wind, and even her consciousness began to become blurred involuntarily.

An Nuo whispered softly in her ear: "Don't be nervous, just relax your whole body and leave everything to me."

Hearing this, Laqi closed her eyes obediently, no longer having any distracting thoughts, and completely followed Annuo's instructions.

Gradually, the breathing rhythms of the two people became consistent, and their breaths intertwined and blended together.

The lively spiritual energy flowed happily between the two of them, eventually forming an almost flawless energy cycle.

At this moment, Laqi deeply felt that her body seemed to be completely integrated into Annuo's broad and solid embrace, and her consciousness was also sinking bit by bit into the depths of an ocean emitting endless warm light...

Time passed quietly, and no one knew how much time had passed before Laqi slowly woke up.

When she slowly opened her eyes, what she saw was still An Nuo's familiar and gentle face, and the warm embrace that made her feel at ease.

Laqi only felt that her body was as light as a feather. This unprecedented wonderful feeling made her feel like she was reborn.

At the same time, the aura emanating from An Nuo became more powerful and heavy, and his eyes, which were originally as deep as the sea, now shone with a heart-pounding light.

"Master..." Laqi opened her red lips and stood up from her chair.

Under An Nuo's astonished gaze, she slowly took off her outer clothes. The soft light perfectly outlined her graceful curves, and crystal beads of sweat quietly slid down her beautiful collarbone.

"Laki?" Annuo's voice suddenly became slightly hoarse.

"Master, please let me serve you." Laqi's cheeks were flushed, but her eyes were extremely firm.

"In fact, as early as when I was on Sky Island, I had already developed feelings for you deep in my heart... I can no longer suppress this feeling."

Before she could finish her words, An Nuo suddenly pulled her into his arms like a delicate little bird.

An Nuo's strong arms tightly wrapped around her slender waist, and his hot breath blew against her ears like waves of heat: "I am the same."

Just now I was just using spiritual energy to cleanse, and now I am starting to do the real work.

As soon as she finished speaking, Laqi gently closed her eyes and immersed herself in this wonderful moment.

She clearly felt An Nuo's gentle lips first gently falling on her forehead, then moving to the tip of her nose, and finally covering her slightly trembling cherry lips.

Chapter 222 Return

At this moment, the dim light seemed to have life, dancing happily on the two of them, casting their tightly embraced figures onto the cold and hard stone wall, blending with each other and inseparable.

The noisy sounds outside suddenly stopped at some point, and the moonlight as soft as water seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force, penetrating through the layers of clouds and pouring in quietly.

Like a docile kitten, Laqi snuggled gently in Annuo's warm and broad arms, her ears pressed against his strong chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. Every beat was like a beautiful melody, making her feel extremely safe and happy.

At this time, An Nuo's heart was filled with joy because he successfully obtained Laqi's precious essence.

With this powerful energy, he felt that he was very close to his next breakthrough in strength.

Next they will embark on their journey back to Kekoyasi Village.

When he thought that there might be Crocodile who had not left yet, a hint of excitement and anticipation flashed in Annuo's eyes.

If this hateful Shichibukai could be killed successfully, then the entire vast ocean would probably be shaken!

During this long return journey, you can also enjoy a rare period of relaxation.

At this moment, the Orange Cabin is sailing on the calm sea, and the gentle sea breeze is like a pair of gentle hands, gently caressing people's faces;

The brilliant sunshine shines unreservedly on the sparkling sea, reflecting patches of dazzling golden light, as beautiful as a fairyland in a dream.

Anno stood upright at the bow, his deep and sharp eyes staring into the distance, as if he was thinking about something important.

Laqi carefully held a cup of steaming, fragrant tea and walked slowly to his side with light steps.

She bent down slightly, handed the teacup in her hand to An Nuo, and said softly in an extremely gentle voice: "Master, you have been standing here for a long time. Please have a cup of tea and rest for a while."

After hearing what Laqi said, An Nuo slowly came back to his senses.

He turned his head and looked at the beautiful and considerate woman in front of him, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he reached out to take the teacup. "Don't call me master anymore, just call me by my name."

As he spoke, he gently took a sip of the tea in the cup, and immediately a fresh and sweet taste spread in his mouth.

"Thank you, Laqi." Annuo put down the teacup and looked at Laqi with gratitude again.

Changing the title? How can this be possible!

"No, the master is always the master."

Laqi lowered her head slightly, and a faint blush quietly appeared on her jade-white cheeks, just like the peach blossoms that bloomed in spring. She responded in a voice as soft as the breeze blowing across the lake: "Working for the master is my duty."

At this time, An Nuo did not deliberately correct the way Laqi addressed him, because he knew that everyone had their own unique way of addressing others.

Just like Nami always affectionately calls him brother-in-law, and Kerla is keen on calling him master.

It seems that every woman who is close to him is fond of this kind of intimate name that is exclusive to each other.

An Nuo gently took a sip of the fragrant tea in his hand, and then slowly cast his eyes towards the distant horizon. His eyes revealed a trace of subtle emotion, and he murmured to himself: "When I return to Kekoya West Village, I'm afraid there will be a lot of tedious affairs waiting for me to deal with."

By then, Mr. Gion might have to leave, Hinata would need to continue her patrol duties, and Makino would have to be busy looking after her shop... Oh, just thinking about it makes me feel a little lonely.

Hearing what Annuo said, Laqi, who had originally lowered her head, suddenly raised her head.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with deep concern as she stared straight at An Nuo and said softly, "Lord An Nuo, please don't feel lonely. No matter when or where, we will always be by your side, especially... me."

At this point, Laqi's voice became softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible.
