Chapter 115 - Gray-haired Woman (1/2)

Life in the pirate town went better than expected. Hei was assigned a small private home to stay with Lian and her little sisters. Each day they would mainly spend their time cultivating. With the resources provided by the Rainbow Island's sects and those from the Secret Dimension, they didn't have to worry about their expenses at the moment. Just during meals, they would go out to eat in the tavern or some other places.

The two guards continued to monitor them all the time, but it wasn't a problem. Since they were secretly carrying out that mission, they always positioned themselves at a certain distance from Hei and his family. Therefore, they didn't hinder the peaceful family's life at all, not to mention that Hei and Lian had no plans to do anything shady in the town.

All they wanted to do at the moment was to wait for the next mission, their third and final mission. Thus, Hei and Lian would finally be able to be received at the main base where Pirate General Ho Ri-Na resided.

On one of those quiet days, Hei, Lian, Ye, and Xing were at the tavern eating as usual. They had spent a whole month here in the town and now knew the place by heart. During this time, their spirit power had shifted from the middle seventh stage spirit apprentice to high seventh stage spirit apprentice.

Since they weren't forced to release their spirit power, no one noticed the change. After all, it was impolite to investigate a person's stage of cultivation. Only if there were reasonable reasons, this could be asked.

Anyway, it was perfectly fine for Hei, who preferred to have some degree of secrecy about himself and his family. It would also be useful to surprise any enemies.

'Big brother, a month has passed. I got bored with being here and just cultivating. Can we play later?' Ye asked with a disconsolate tone.

Indeed, even the two little divine beasts had worked hard to increase their cultivation and be on par with their big brother and Lian. However, the period of stay in the pirate town had lasted longer than expected. Now they were feeling the approach of boredom since Hei had currently forbidden them to play.

”Alright. Now that we have made a breakthrough, we can take a few days off. For now, think about eating your fill. I will then give you an afternoon nap, and we will play with whatever you want.” Hei replied in a low voice as he consoled his little sister.

'Really? And can we all sleep together?' Xing asked this time.

Although the little spider was the more diligent of the two, at times, she let herself be carried away by the enthusiasm of her sister Ye. So, she ended up being playful again, losing that aura of seriousness she had.

”Of course, everything you want. Right, Lian? ”

”Yes, we'll all have a nice afternoon nap together.” The blue-haired young woman replied with a smile as she reassured the two little divine beasts.

At that moment, the door of the tavern opened, and another young woman with long gray hair entered. She must have been between 18 and 20 years old. She wore tight-fitting black pants that outlined her legs, and the shape of her breasts was also visible even with the obstruction of her clothes.

The young woman, with determined steps, went to the counter and ordered the innkeeper, ”Give me a big mug of the best beer you have, quickly. I have a tremendous thirst.”

The innkeeper nodded and brought the young woman a large mug of beer, filled to the brim. The young woman took the mug and drank it all in one gulp. Apparently, she was really thirsty.

As she finished drinking, a pirate, who often frequented the tavern, approached her, ”Hey, little sister. You're new here, I've never seen you around here. How about having a good time with me, your big brother? You will see that you won't regret it.”

The young woman didn't even glance at the male pirate. Instead, she turned to the innkeeper again, ”Another round, please.”

The pirate man who had tried to talk to her frowned at the disrespect has was receiving.

”Hey! Bitch, I'm talking to you. ”

After saying this, the pirate tried to grab the young woman on the shoulder, but before he could do it...

Slap!

A violent slap flew across his face. The impact was so great that it made the pirate lie down directly on the ground with foam in his mouth.

'A sixth stage.' Hei thought to himself as he watched the scene from where he was sitting.

It was the first time he had ever seen a woman with such cultivation among pirates. But his amazement ended there. It wasn't as if it were rare to see a martial artist woman as strong as men. The Pirate General Ho Ri-Na and the sect leader of the Flower Sect were an example of how women could compete without problems with men on the path of cultivation. Not to mention the most concrete example he had at his side - Lian.

The gray-haired young woman seemed to notice Hei's gaze because she moved her eyes to where he was. And she was surprised by what she saw.

Although it wasn't uncommon to see young boys in the pirate ranks, these were mostly deckhands who were embarking on pirate life for the first time. Their cultivation stage would have been low, and they would hardly have dared to go around the tavern on their own. After all, it was easy to come into conflict with other pirates present there.

Yet, sitting at a tavern table, was a young man and a young woman. From the appearance, they were even younger than her. And as the other pirates paid attention not to disturb them, it seemed that they weren't mere small fries.

The gray-haired young woman was intrigued and walked over to the table where Hei and Lian were.

”Hi, it's the first time I've seen you here. My name is Ho Yeon-Hong, but Yeon is more than good. Can I know your names?” The young haired woman cordially turned to Hei and Lian.
