I became a fox girl and was captured by the True Dragon Saint

"Now."

"Ah! Why don't you take me there?!"

********

Holding his dying mother, Pei Min had a blank expression on his face.

He then realized that his mother had already suffered from a serious illness two years ago when she sold her house to accompany him on his journey.

In the past two years, in order to find Jiang Keer and seek the true swordsmanship in his mind, his mother accompanied him almost all over China.

They would go to look for Jiang Ke'er wherever there was a legend about her appearing.

They have been robbed by bandits, bullied as beggars, captured as conscripts and deserted, and have been caught in time and again the dangers of life and death in wars.

However, they gave their all and all they got were scars.

"Min'er, don't hold a grudge."

Pei Min felt heartbroken at the weak voice of his mother.

“There are always some things in this world that cannot be accomplished no matter how hard you try. We are all helpless… but don’t bear grudges.”

"……I see."

But how can I not hate you?

5. Pirates

Pei Min looked around. The smelly cabin was so narrow and short that it was even difficult to stand up straight.

The surroundings were hot and humid, and Pei's mother was already suffering from a serious illness, which became even worse due to such a harsh environment.

He didn't want his mother to die like this, at least she shouldn't die in such pain and suffocation in this cabin.

"Please, give me some water... My mother is dying..."

Pei Min knelt humbly at the cabin entrance, crying bitterly as he stretched out his hand from the small opening under the cabin.

All I got was pain and the sound of cracking finger bones.

The hard sole of the boot hit the back of his hand hard.

Pei Min endured the pain without crying out, gritted his teeth and continued to beg: "Just a little water, just a little water, please... You want a living sacrifice, it won't be good for you if my mother dies!"

This statement seemed to make some sense, and the monks guarding outside the cell changed their minds.

Half a bowl of dirty water was stuffed into the cell through the small door with disgust.

Pei Min was overjoyed and quickly took the bowl of water and handed it to his mother.

Mother Pei shook her head: "Min'er, I can't do it anymore..."

"No, it will be fine. We have survived so many dangers," Pei Min said in a tearful voice, "Don't give up. You have always taught me not to give up. How can you give up yourself? Hold on, don't leave Min'er alone..."

Mother Pei sighed and drank the water.

She could hold on a little longer, but so what...

Sooner or later, you will die.

It doesn't matter if I die, but Min'er...

Damn pirate!

********

"As soon as the dragon clan arrived in the East China Sea, the pirates there were terrified and fled, never daring to cause trouble there again!"

The sailor from the small town on the East China Sea was beaming with joy and proudly recounted the good things about his hometown.

"Boom-"

Uncle Zhao kicked him unhappily: "So that's why they all came to our side!"

The small fishing village where Jiang Keer lives is located in the south of the East China Sea, on the edge of the East China Sea territory.

The rich East China Sea has always been a lawless place where pirates are most rampant.

For many years, because the monks were not good at naval warfare, the pirates born on those small islands became extremely rampant, and the East China Sea had become a paradise for pirates.

The best among them are powerful enough to plunder coastal cities and are not limited to ships at sea.

The situation has completely changed since the arrival of the dragon clan.

Heaven has changed.

With Li Yuan's mind, he would naturally not do anything that would not benefit him. In addition to strengthening the power of the Eastern God Demon Clan, the biggest reason for recruiting the Dragon Clan was to deal with the affairs of the East China Sea.

The East China Sea is a Feng Shui treasure land with many resources waiting to be developed, but it cannot be developed due to rampant pirates.

The pirates are experts in naval warfare. They can hide in the sea and make it impossible for the monks on land to do anything about them. The rich water-attributed spiritual power around them also makes their water-attributed skills even more powerful.

But the dragon clan is the ancestors of playing in water.

No matter how proficient a pirate is in water, he will become a joke in front of the dragons who are born with the ability to control water.

In order to express their gratitude to the Eastern Demon Clan, and also to develop their own city and explore the resources of the East China Sea, the Dragon Clan began a carpet-style cleanup of the East China Sea pirates.

The end of the East China Sea pirates has come.

The biggest beneficiaries of the cleanup of the East China Sea are the dragon clan, so the dragon clan's cleanup operations can be said to be spared no effort.

Within three months, even the most powerful pirates in the East China Sea were forced to flee southward and flocked to the southeastern waters of Dongsheng Shenzhou.

They only have one route to go, the south. To the north is the polar ice, and if they go there they will only be frozen into popsicles, and there will be no business to do.

But this makes life difficult for the boatmen in the south.

There were already quite a few pirates in the south, although not as exaggerated as in the East China Sea. But now there are more pirates fleeing from the East China Sea, and the situation has suddenly become even more difficult than in the East China Sea.

Moreover, these refugees were already furious because they were displaced and driven out of their homes, so they attacked without mercy.

The boatmen in the south complained bitterly and wrote letters to the dragon clan requesting them to visit the south.

However, the Dragon Clan is temporarily unable to take care of the southern waters due to lack of manpower and the need to deal with retaliation from East China Sea pirates.

"How many people have diarrhea today?" Zhao Dazhu looked at the empty deck with a headache.

"Five..."

Obviously, everyone knows whether it is real diarrhea or not.

Given the current situation in the East China Sea, who would be willing to risk their life going out to sea? At most, a few days' wages may be deducted, which is better than risking their life going out to sea.

"What a bunch of cowards! Pirates don't rob fishing boats!" Zhao Dazhu spat.

"I heard that a lot of fishing boats have disappeared recently..." the deputy whispered, "These pirates have been driven crazy. What can't they do?"

"We have no money, why would they rob us?"

"The devil knows."

Zhao Dazhui is the Uncle Zhao mentioned by Qiao Xiaoxian.

Standing on the deck of the fishing boat, Jiang Ke'er and Qiao Xiaoxian were concentrating on taking care of the fishing nets, and didn't seem to care about the pirates.

"Why did you two pretty girls risk your lives to board this ship?" Zhao Dazhu looked at the two women with a headache. "The pirates are not interested in us, but they are very interested in you!"

"It's okay, we're covering our faces, the pirates can't see it." Jiang Ke'er said with a smile.

"Be careful. If you encounter pirates later, don't make any noise and let them find you," Zhao Dazhu warned. "If we weren't really short of people, I would never let you two take the risk of getting on board..."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao," Jiang Ke'er said, "If pirates come, we will hide and not cause any trouble for you."

"You guys better take care of yourselves," Zhao Dazhu still looked worried, "Alas, if my wife didn't need money for medical treatment, I wouldn't risk my life to go out to sea..."

"Fortune and fortune are achieved through risk! No one dares to go out to sea these days, so we won't have little catch!" Jiang Ke'er comforted.

"That's right, but you have to be alive to spend it!"

Zhao Dazhu smiled and drove the boat out of the port.

Jiang Ke'er doesn't have much work to do, mainly helping to organize fishing nets and the like.

After the fishing nets were prepared, they just had to be handed over to the sailors on the boat to cast and pull the nets. Uncle Zhao felt sorry for the girls and didn't want them to do it themselves.

The fish caught should be sorted and stored in the temporary holding room or freezer in the cabin.

The second job of the two women was to help with sorting.

It's not a difficult life, just be careful not to get pricked by the poisonous fins or spines of some fish.

"Poor fish, I hope you will be born into a better race in your next life..." Jiang Ke'er muttered as she sorted the fish.

The sailors around laughed when they heard this, and suddenly felt that Jiang Ke'er was just an innocent and naive little girl who had not seen much suffering in the world and was full of kindness.

The peaceful working atmosphere continued until the evening.

Looking into the distance, Jiang Ke'er's eyes narrowed slightly: "Uncle Zhao, let's go back."

"No, night is the best time to fish for amber dace. If you can't catch amber dace, you can only rely on fishing, and now is the annual amber dace fishing season!" Zhao Dazhu refused. "I came out this time just for amber dace. If I catch a few amber dace, I can earn more than I make in the whole day!"

"But there is a boat coming this way."

6. Jiang Keer, who is powerless

"Don't worry, I'm just passing by."

Zhao Dazhu firmly believes that pirates will not cause trouble to fishermen because there is no oil to be made and pirates will not waste their time on fishing boats.

Even if they occasionally scare fishing boats, they are just trying to rob them because they are too lazy to catch fish.

At worst, we can hand over the fish in the cabin, but we don't have to return.

He absolutely could not return, he needed the money and could not return empty-handed.

"Captain, let's go..." Looking at the approaching lights on the sea in the distance, the deputy's legs went weak, "This wave of pirates is different from the previous ones!"

"How old are you? I've already dealt with pirates when you were still peeing your pants!" Zhao Dazhu glared at him with full authority. "Don't worry, no matter what kind of pirates they are, they won't waste their time doing jobs that don't pay. What do they want from a bunch of poor, rough guys like us?"

Zhao Dazhu said, looking at Jiang Keer and Qiao Xiaoxian: "Hurry up and hide under the cabin, don't get discovered, don't worry, they won't search the boat. Our little broken fishing boat is not worth searching."

The two women did as they were told.

Jiang Ke'er has completely immersed herself in the role, squeezing in a dark corner with Qiao Xiaoxian, and a somewhat nervous expression on her face.

Qiao Xiaoxian took the opportunity to pick up Jiang Keer and let her sit on her lap.

Then she began to act clumsily in the darkness.

But she found that Jiang Ke'er did not resist, her body was tense, as if she was very nervous.

"Why are you so nervous?" Qiao Xiaoxian was very surprised.

"I am now a helpless good girl. I am very weak."

"..."

So Qiao Xiaoxian increased her efforts.

"Stop it," Jiang Ke'er, whose legs were almost weakened by the touch, hurriedly stopped him, "Not now."

"When will that happen?"

"Never at any time!"

"Then how do you become an immortal?"

"what???"

Jiang Ke'er was confused, but she didn't have time to ask.

From the deck came the clatter of hard-soled boots, the sounds were complex and dense, and it was obvious that quite a few people had boarded the fishing boat.

Jiang Ke'er quickly held her breath and kept silent.

"Sir, this is a small fishing boat," Zhao Dazhu said to the pirates as he boarded the boat. "There are only fish and a few of us burly old sailors on the boat. If you like the fish, just take it."

"Humph!" The burly pirate sneered, grabbed Zhao Dazhu by the collar and said, "It's you I'm after!"
