Come and connect with me!

"I've let so many people down, and I can only let things work out when the time comes."

"With so many relationships under your belt, this is the only way you can think, right?"

Reno.meta said unhappily.

"Also, let go, seriously, everyone is watching."

Having said that, Renometa's voice lowered.

"I, let me make it clear first, I will not let go, no matter who the opponent is."

Wuming didn't say anything, but just held on tighter.

“A lot of people are watching.”

"I don't care. I'll hug you if I want."

Chapter 967 Welcome to Join Us

This farce, which almost turned into a hatchet incident, came suddenly and ended quickly.

Of course, this was thanks to Wuming's cleverness, but the port area itself was really used to it, so this matter was nothing special.

At lunch time, the four royal families gathered together, so Yixian also deliberately spent some effort to prepare a table of delicious dishes, which drew praise from everyone. It's not that this Donghuang cook was slacking off at this time of day, but this time she had prepared a portion for Reno.meta. Adding the two together, the dishes were particularly rich. Moreover, this time they were all European-style dishes that she had been learning silently for a long time. The taste had already been unanimously praised by everyone, including Frederick the Great, and even made z23, who had always been a representative of top students, eat without paying attention to his appearance.

"good to eat!"

Reno.meta let out a sigh of satisfaction that he would never have let out yesterday.

Yesterday she was determined to die and only tasted a little of any food, but this time she enjoyed the food and drinks with big mouthfuls. The cooking skills that almost surpassed the human level conquered her almost instantly.

"Wow, the oil content is just right. The taste stimulates the tongue and spreads all over the body. It's so warm and comfortable."

Shiranui also had a happy expression on her pale face.

"Not bad, right? Meow haha, I told you, Yixian-chan's food is delicious meow!"

The tail behind Akashi was shaking unconsciously. He took big bites of the stewed fish, and was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

"I didn't think so at first, but now that I think about it, Akashi came here so soon and ate so many more days of delicious food than I did. It's really a big loss when you think about it."

Shiranui said faintly.

"Then eat more."

Akashi eagerly added a spoonful of fish to Shiranui's dish, then asked quietly.

"If you come, we'll get back to business, meow. It's time to open our store, meow!"

"Huhu, you can try to renovate boxes and other things."

Shiranui also smiled sinisterly, and the ghost fires around him flickered.

"Then I wish our store a big sale, meow!"

Akashi held a fish head and clinked it against Shiranui's tea bowl, his face filled with hope for the future.

“Hoohoo! Big hit!”

The profiteers clinked their glasses happily, but Reno.meta, in between bites, began to notice things he had never noticed before.

That's jewelry.

Before yesterday, she had little interest in Wuming, or rather, little interest in anything in the world of the living, but a word from Shiranui before had awakened her and made her start paying attention to the hand accessories of the ship girls in the port area, that is, the rings.

Compared with the heart-shaped diamond ring, the anchor-shaped ring does not actually have a very obvious romantic connotation, at least it will not make people think of marriage at the first glance. However, the position of the ring can easily reveal the owner's relationship status.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but Reno.meta found something wrong as soon as he took a look.

This guy called Frederick the Great had a ring, Enterprise also had a ring, and the maid who came to call them at noon also had a ring, and New Jersey also had a ring on her hand. Looking around, there were so many ship girls holding wedding rings that she didn't even feel angry for a moment.

She was absentmindedly biting into the fried egg when she suddenly heard a voice beside her.

"Reno...can I call you that?"

The voice was very gentle. She had heard it before and could clearly call out the name.

"Of course, if I remember correctly, your name is Yixian, right?"

Yixian nodded gently and sat down beside her.

"Well, I was done with my work in the kitchen, and I noticed that you looked unhappy. Is it not to your taste?"

Striving for excellence has never been just the privilege of warriors. As a chef, Yixian also hopes that his dishes can satisfy everyone.

"Um, no, your food is great, I like it very much, and it's not your food that's bothering me."

Reno.meta's voice became smaller, and she glanced at Yixian reflexively. This quiet woman had gentle features and was wearing a blue and white casual dress, like a slender and elegant blue and white porcelain. At this moment, she was taking off the apron with a yellow chicken pattern on it. There was a ring on her unbuttoned five fingers.

"You, you too?"

Reno.meta said hesitantly.

This kind of words had no beginning or end, but Yixian miraculously understood it.

"Yes, that's right."

She smiled, supported her cheek with one hand, and slightly raised the other hand with the ring on it, showing this meaningful jewelry to Reno.meta.

"Um, aren't you angry?"

Reno.meta looked at the quiet Yixian and muttered angrily.

"That's right. I heard that Donghuang people don't get angry easily about this kind of thing... Ouch."

She was halfway through her words when she was hit on the forehead.

"Let's not talk about where your stereotype comes from. Regardless of the changes in modern society, even in the older times, no woman would be happy about this kind of thing. Everyone wants a complete relationship."

Yixian said unhappily.

"Who would want to share their husband with someone else if they could, but, well, there's nothing we can do about it."

She looked at Reno.meta who subconsciously pressed her forehead. The latter looked at her in astonishment. She never expected that a woman like her who looked so weak would hit her head so rudely.

"Everyone would be angry, but the situation in our port area is a little different. We have been through a lot with the commander, and the results can be considered mixed. In a sense, we can't separate, so let's just muddle through together."

Yixian said this and sighed softly.

"Wuming is a bastard, but he is also a bastard who tries his best to avoid hurting everyone. No one, whether present or not, is willing to accept the current situation. No one wants to be just one of his wives. But if he is only allowed to choose one, everyone might be more sad."

This kind of terrible thing makes it difficult for any of the parties involved to distinguish right from wrong, and in the end they just accommodate each other and live together in a muddle until now.

“That sounds complicated.”

Reno.meta looked at Yixian and said in a low voice.

"But from what I understand, there are a lot of competitors?"

“Maybe there are more than you think.”

Yixian chuckled, then stood up and extended her hand to Reno.meta, who looked at her warily.

"Don't worry, I only use violence when I'm angry."

As he spoke, Yixian gently pressed Reno.meta's forehead with his slightly cool palm.

"You're not angry now?"

"No, I mean, I usually don't hit people when I can help it."

Yixian admired Reno.meta's stunned expression and laughed happily.

"Finally, welcome to join the port area, Reno. Well, or rather, welcome to join this competition that has no end in sight."

Chapter 968: The establishment of a pirate group?

Reno.meta had mixed feelings as she had lunch with her new acquaintance Yixian. Many of the latter's statements made her feel a little stressed, but she would use her own eyes to observe this strange port area.

As for Wuming, he was being dragged along by the Royal Fortune to complain bitterly.

"Commander, be careful when you go to play near the coast. This child was attacked by a white land creature. It's terrible. I thought the port area was safe!"

Wuming could only respond with a stiff smile.

"It's normal that the mountain bandit king on land can defeat the pirate king in seconds. Um, you should ask Kraken to be more careful in the future. I will also try to make the creatures on land more friendly."

"Oh? Commander, do you know who it is? Or whose pet it is?"

Royal Fortune's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he looked straight at Wuming.

"Well, if I have to say, it's probably not anyone's pet..."

"Then catch him and kill him!"

As soon as the female pirate grinned, her decisive and murderous nature came out.

"Oh no, I suddenly remembered that I raised her, and she just happened to be a little grumpy."

Wuming stretched out his finger and touched Royal Fortune's forehead, asking this face to be farther away from him, at least not close enough for him to smell the inexplicable sweet scent on her body.

"Ouch."

The female pirate said "oh" meaningfully, then looked at the weeping little octopus with a cross bandage on its forehead and said in a boastful manner.

"It seems that justice can't be done, Kraken."

"No, no, no."

Wuming sighed.

"How can our Miss Royal Fortune forgive that man?"

"Hmph, nice to see, Commander."

The Royal Fortune blinked and slapped the crying little octopus aside. She put her hands on her hips, raised her thighs wrapped in stockings, and put one foot on the chair. At this moment, the female pirate seemed to have come from the cafeteria to her own ship, and her whole body exuded a strong sense of confidence.

"I have kept the little secret about the treasure very well, but I still can't find the treasure in such a large port area by myself, so..."

"You want to form an adventuring group?"

"It's the Pirates!"

Wuming said lightly, but Royal Fortune immediately interrupted his intention to turn One Piece into the King of Navigation.

"If you agree, I will recruit sailors and start treasure hunting in the port area!"

Wuming glanced at the female pirate's plump thighs and nodded decisively.

"Don't make too much of a fuss, and don't search the harbor area thoroughly. I have more than one treasure hiding place, but it will definitely not be in a crowded place."

"clear."

Royal Fortune grinned happily, then gave Wuming a big kiss on the face.

"Who wants to join my pirate group?"

Her kiss was a little spicy, just like her, but the pirate's habit made her attack fast and urgent. After she felt that she had won Wuming's favor, she jumped onto the chair without stopping to make herself conspicuous. It was not that she didn't want to jump onto the table or even onto the chandelier in one breath, but the head maid's eyes were too scary. She stared at the female pirate's movements, interrupting her and Wuming's next move, and also interrupting her movement to jump higher.

There was silence all around, and the large ships looked at the Royal Fortune with interest, wondering whether this was an impromptu performance.

But the response from the small boat was unexpectedly enthusiastic.

"I me me!"

Little Zeppelin blushed and raised his hand high.

Royal Fortune blinked and secretly glanced at Frederick the Great, whose style was very much to her liking. The latter smiled and shook his head slowly. Another man she liked at first sight, Count Spee, was obediently rolling up the pasta with a fork, with the pair of big claws of Dark Wind placed aside.

"You want to be the Whitebeard, right?"

"Well, strictly speaking, that's the status, but in reality..."

Seeing that only one little kid came up, the Royal Fortune was a little confused. She always felt that little Zeppelin had obviously misunderstood.

"oh oh."

Little Zeppelin's eyes lit up and he shouted immediately.

"Then I want to be Blackbeard, the invincible dual-fruit ability user! Oh, by the way, Captain, when are you going to do it?"

Royal Fortune froze in laughter, her eyebrows twitched violently, and what was worse was that she seemed to hear Wuming couldn't help laughing.

"No, no black and white beard!"
