Transmigrated As A Beautiful Cannon Fodder Omega To Marry An Evil God Alpha In Place of Another - Chapter 25.1

Although he answered that way, it was clear that A-wu had no intention of letting go.

After a pause, Bai Rui put one foot on the floor and used the other foot to step directly onto A-wu’s knee to stand up.

“Get up and accompany me to the deck to have a look.”

Although he stood up by stepping directly on someone’s knee, his weight actually couldn’t cause any harm to Aw-u.

In fact, upon being stepped on, A-wu’s expression went from initial surprise to an undeniable ecstasy in his eyes. To be honest, he felt a bit of a thrill.

“Oh my god!”

In front of the crystal ball, there was a chorus of gasps.

“If anyone else stepped on His Majesty the Witch Emperor, wouldn’t they be annihilated? His Majesty didn’t even get angry!”

The Black Dragon couldn’t help but cover its mouth.

The Black Cat gave a “heh” sound. “Not only is he not unhappy, but being stepped on by the sole of a shoe seems to have brought him some joy.”

The dragon and cat looked at each other and nodded in unison. In one voice, they said: “A masochist.”

Bai Rui had already opened the door and left. A-wu remained squatting there for a beat longer, tilting his head to look at his fingers.

It seemed as though the soft warmth of a certain person’s body still lingered there.

How fun.

How interesting.

Qi Li lowered his head and couldn’t help but smile.

Then he stood up and chased after Bai Rui’s silhouette. “Your Highness, you can step on the left knee as well.”

In front of the crystal ball, in unison: “A total masochist.”

The sunlight on the deck was dazzling.

wu followed Bai Rui out of the cabin. Seeing Bai Rui lose his balance, he reached out to help, only to be pushed away. Seeing that retreating figure, still seemingly spiteful, his mood was inexplicably excellent.

In the past, if anyone dared to step on him, as an evil god who prided himself on being vengeful, he would have made sure they couldn’t walk for months.

Now, not only was he stepped on to stand up, but he was also pushed in public. Such insolent behavior was something no one had dared to do to him before.

But this person… actually… wasn’t someone he couldn’t tolerate.

Not only could he tolerate it, but his mood was even becoming more cheerful.

A-wu no longer used his cloak to hide his face. He stood tall and open, a faint smile on his lips, following Bai Rui step for step.

He was like a responsible and serious attendant, if one ignored the slightly uncontrollable fervor in the gaze he fixed on his master’s back.

Standing on the deck, Bai Rui first gazed at the boundless sea, feeling the sea breeze brush against his face and lift his long sideburns.

Then, he turned around and looked at the people on the ship.

From the very beginning, everyone had stopped their work to watch Bai Rui.

Bai Rui had already changed back into men’s clothing. Those slaves working at the gunwales also recognized him, and someone whispered, “It’s His Highness!”

“It’s Prince Bai Rui!”

“Heavens, he really has saved us once again!”

Bai Rui didn’t seem to hear the discussions. Instead, he searched for someone in the crowd. Upon finally identifying his target, he crooked a finger at a one eyed man wearing a headscarf. “You, come here.”

The One Eyed Dragon put down what he was holding and walked over, bowing respectfully to Bai Rui. “I was rude before. I didn’t know you were Prince Bai Rui of the Holy Light Empire.”

Having spent his life sailing the seas in a dangerous trade, he had to be well-versed in all kinds of information.

The Annam pirates knew everything about the people on the Continent of the Wind Plains.

If they didn’t know, they wouldn’t have survived until today.

Bai Rui tilted his chin slightly. “Where are we heading now?”

“According to your instructions,” the One Eyed Dragon said, placing a hand over his heart and bowing, “we are heading at full speed to Gambler’s Town. We should arrive in about half a day.”

To Gambler’s Town.

It wasn’t hard to guess who had issued that order on his behalf.

Sure enough, Bai Rui shifted his gaze and saw A-wu with his hands tucked in his sleeves, smiling warmly at him.

Fine, they were going to Gambler’s Town anyway, so heading there now was perfect.

Suddenly remembering something, Bai Rui looked at the One Eyed Dragon. “After you send me to Gambler’s Town, what are your plans?”

The One Eyed Dragon had a look of confusion in his eyes. They were used to making a living on the water, and he had blackened his teeth, swearing to live and die with the sea. “You helped us get revenge and dealt with that cruel Captain Jayne. Though we don’t know how you did it, you are truly formidable. We all sincerely admire you.”

There were many Annam sailors on the ship who had also been treated cruelly by Captain Jayne. Having been liberated, they followed the One Eyed Dragon’s lead, covering their hearts with their right hands and bowing deeply to Bai Rui.

“We sincerely admire Prince Bai Rui.”

The Annamese sailors bowed in unison, and even a few slaves doing heavy labor took off their tattered cloth caps, clutching them to their chests and looking at Bai Rui with eyes full of hope.

People who had been suffering in agony had finally seen the dawn of hope. Every gaze fixed on Bai Rui was burning with light.

After a while, the One Eyed Dragon continued, “We don’t know what to do next either. We have no other skills, no other talents, we only know the sea… but will you allow us to continue staying on the sea?”

The hunting sea breeze blew Bai Rui’s hair into a mess. He tucked the stray strands behind his ear, looked at the One Eyed Dragon, and said seriously, “Why wouldn’t I allow it?”

The One Eyed Dragon looked up in surprise and saw Bai Rui watching him calmly. “There are many ways to make a living at sea. From now on, you are not allowed to commit robbery or loot passing fishing and cargo ships. Catch fish, then sell them at Gambler’s Town. I will find a sales channel for you.”

“Be businessmen. Put your knives back under the table.”

Bai Rui walked up to the bowing One Eyed Dragon, picked up a pirate hat belonging to Captain Jayne from the side, and plopped it onto the One Eyed Dragon’s head.

“If there is a need, I will notify you to draw your blades.”

Caught off guard by the hat being placed on his head, the One Eyed Dragon was momentarily stunned. “Your Highness…”

Bai Rui firmly pressed down on the pirate hat, and the One Eyed Dragon finally lowered his head. “Your Highness, we will all be loyal to you. You are truly amazing, even Captain Jayne, who was invulnerable to blades and immune to magic and witchcraft, was dealt with by you. We will have no second thoughts; otherwise, even if we fled to the ends of the earth, you would probably deal with us.”

Bai Rui felt speechless: I’m not actually as powerful as your imagination suggests.

But he didn’t want to explain anything. Having this mysterious power surrounding him made these people more afraid of him, which was beneficial.

Bai Rui had never been as grateful for this world’s deep superstition as he was now.

His white as jade hand still rested on the peak of the pirate hat. “What is your name?”

It seemed like no one had called him by his name throughout the journey.

They always referred to him by his most prominent characteristic.

The One Eyed Dragon replied, “Reporting to Your Highness, I have no name. Both my poor brother’s name and mine were stripped away by the hateful Captain Jayne… I can no longer remember my own name.”

“Oh, you don’t remember?”

Bai Rui thought for a moment, his eyes drifting to the faded red headscarf peeking out from under the pirate hat. He suddenly smiled. “How about this, I will bestow a name upon you.”

“You shall be called Jack, and this ship shall be called the Black Pearl.”

There were two seconds of silence until Bai Rui took his hand off the hat. Only then did the One Eyed Dragon snap his face up. “I have a name?”

“I am called Jack?”

“Yes.”

Bai Rui smiled. “From now on, you are Captain Jack of the Black Pearl.”

“Thank you for the name, Your Highness,” Jack knelt on one knee and performed a grand salute. “We shall keep it in our hearts.”

The Annamese sailors behind him knelt in rows, shouting in unison, “Thank you, Prince Bai Rui, for naming the ship. We shall keep it in our hearts.”

The sea breeze was fierce. Facing the wind and with sails full, the Black Pearl sailed toward a faintly visible small island…
