Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 2112: Chapter 2112: King of the Pirates (3)

"I have something I want to know."

"...What is it?" Is he finally going to show his true colors?!

Chuzheng pondered for a few seconds, "Why do you think they wouldn’t believe you?"

Her threat was just a casual remark, she hadn’t really meant to intimidate him.

But the result...

He seemed quite consciously aware that the pirates on the ship wouldn’t believe his explanation and would surely think he was the one who brought her aboard.

What kind of understanding is this?

Mi Yun: "..."

Well, that’s because he’s done too many things, and his level of trust is too low.

But how could Mi Yun admit to this? He straightens his neck, "Fine, if you want to kill or scold, go ahead! Twenty years later I’ll be a hero again!"

Though he shouted like this, only Mi Yun knew how scared he was inside.

He didn’t want to die!

"I won’t kill you."

"..."

"You—you can’t be interested in my body!" Mi Yun showed a face of horror, "I tell you, I’d rather die than let you defile my body!"

Chuzheng: "..."

What a lunatic!

"Tell me about the situation on the island. If you do well, all this silver is yours. Moreover, I’ll let you go."

Mi Yun was suspicious, "Is there such a good thing?"

"Will you say it or not?"

"What if I don’t?"

Chuzheng pointed her plain finger towards the sea, "Buried in the ocean doesn’t sound too bad, what do you think?"

Mi Yun: "..."

I don’t think that’s okay!

-

The island is ruled by pirates, there are three leaders in total.

The Great Island Lord usually works hard at sea and is not on the island often.

The Second Island Master, who is Mi Yun’s brother, is big and burly. Apart from fighting, he can’t really do anything else. He’s in charge of the island’s security and occasionally goes to sea with the Great Island Lord.

The Third Island Master is in poor health and cannot go to sea, so most of the time, he manages the island.

Besides where the Island Masters and pirates live, the rest of the island is no different from the towns outside.

Mi Yun roughly introduced the situation on the island to Chuzheng, saying what he could and skipping what he couldn’t, after all, she seemed uninformed.

"There’s a young lady on your ship?"

"...Yes." Mi Yun nodded, without elaborating.

"Is she in poor health?"

Mi Yun: "Why are you asking this?"

"Answer my question."

"...Alright, alright, don’t do anything!" Mi Yun quickly said, "She is the Great Island Lord’s daughter. She’s been in poor health since childhood."

"What illness?"

"How should I know?" Mi Yun truly didn’t know, "Anyway, she’s always frail and takes medicine constantly. They say it’s because she suffered in the womb and has a weak constitution..."

The Great Island Lord took her out this time, hearing of some famous doctor.

In the end, the famous doctor wasn’t found, and the frail young lady almost didn’t make it, later, for some unknown reason, her condition stabilized.

Mi Yun wasn’t interested in these matters and naturally didn’t inquire in detail.

Anyway, in his impression, he rarely saw this young lady, and when he did, it was just a glance, without any words exchanged.

Chuzheng was simply curious to understand the local customs of the island.

Chuzheng kept her word, and after she felt she had a basic understanding of the island, she released Mi Yun.

Mi Yun turned his back to Chuzheng, and the moment he had freedom of movement, he immediately turned around to look.

There was nothing but emptiness behind him, not a soul in sight.

"Mi Yun, what are you doing?" Someone came around the corner, seeing Mi Yun darting around like a headless fly, and couldn’t help but speak up.

"..." Mi Yun grabbed the person, "Did you just see someone pass by?"

"No... no one? Who are you looking for?"

Mi Yun: "..."

He hadn’t heard a sound for a while, so how could she just disappear?

"Quickly, go and report to the Great Island Lord, just say that..."

Mi Yun hadn’t finished his sentence before his eyes rolled back, and he fainted right in front of the person.

"Mi Yun!!"

Chuzheng stood above, coldly watching as the person carried Mi Yun away in a panic.

It seems I’ve been too kind lately.

Chuzheng stroked her chin, praising herself for a while, then leisurely swayed back to her ’room’.

Coincidentally, someone came to deliver food, saw Chuzheng sitting on the hay, said nothing, put down the stuff, and left.

Chuzheng glanced at the food, possibly because she needed to provide nutrients, the food had never been skimpy, and each meal was considered luxurious.

Two meat dishes, two vegetarian sides, accompanied by a small pot of soup and some snacks.

The original owner almost always ate like this. After her little adventure, Chuzheng was indeed a bit hungry and decided to eat first.

She finished her food after about half an hour when she began to hear commotion outside the door. Chuzheng stood at the door, listening for a while.

It seemed they were looking for someone.

It was probably because Mi Yun had woken up and was having them look for her.

As expected, no one came here to look for her. The outside commotion subsided quickly, returning to silence.

-

Phantom Island.

No one can clearly say how the island got its name. Ever since they can remember, it has always been called this.

The island’s residents were enthusiastically heading to the island’s port.

From afar, they could see several large ships approaching, and the flags hoisting on the ships told everyone on the island that their Great Island Lord had returned.

The ships docked one after another, and the people on shore bustled around.

Mi Yun, rubbing the still sore back of his head, casually strolled to the deck, looking towards the port.

That woman wasn’t found on the ship; it’s like seeing a ghost.

That group still said he was making a fuss over nothing...

Mi Yun got more and more irritated the more he thought about it.

Anyway, he’s warned them, if anything happens after this, it won’t be his fault.

Mi Yun disembarked, and kids running around the port cheerfully rushed to him, "Brother Mi Yun, Brother Mi Yun!"

The kids surrounded Mi Yun like little chicks, jumping and calling out to him.

People passing by were accustomed to this.

Mi Yun pulled off the pouch attached to his waist and handed it to one of the children, "Here, share this."

"Wow~"

The group of kids scattered immediately.

Just as Mi Yun was about to leave, there was a commotion behind him. He looked back and saw many people coming and going, seemingly looking for someone.

Mi Yun: "..."

Told you to find her earlier, but you didn’t. Now you’re looking?

-

Chuzheng left the port, first finding a place to change clothes.

Don’t be fooled by how this is a small island, it has everything you’d need, unlike the hardship environments Chuzheng imagined.

Even the old women selling vegetables here were dressed better than those outside.

However, the downside was almost everyone here knew each other, so a new face would immediately draw attention.

Fortunately, Chuzheng could fight... or bribe with money.

Chuzheng’s sudden disappearance drove those people crazy.

She had spent so much effort cultivating her, how could they let her escape?

But the person guarding Chuzheng couldn’t say exactly when she ran off.

The last time she delivered food, she was indeed inside.

So the escape must have been during this time.

And the only nearby island was Phantom Island; after finding no one on the ship, they started searching the island.
