Chapter 402 - The Royal Prince Gets Seriously Injured (1/2)
Zhu Junyang was furious. He had never stepped into his little lass’s bedroom before yet these damned bastards were snoring in her room and lying down on the kang bed that she used to sleep on. That was not okay! These bastards all needed to die immediately!
Consequently, the whole room full of Wokou pirates was sent down to greet the King of Hell in their dreams with the help of Zhu Junyang and Commander Zheng.
Yu Xiaocao’s room had been completely messed up by the pirates. Her better sets of clothing had been all moved onto the pirates’ ship to bring back to their land. Even if they couldn’t sell them, the clothing could be given to their own women to wear. As for Yu Xiaocao’s and Xiaolian’s old clothing, they had all been unceremoniously thrown onto the floor.
Their swimsuits had been stuffed into a corner of their room. It took a bit of searching for Zhu Junyang to finally find them. He had never expected that the first time he entered his little lass’s room would be under circumstances like these. He looked at how the lass’s bedroom had been defiled and had a sudden desire to poke more holes into these dead pirates with his sword.
However, after thinking a bit, he decided not to act on that impulse. How could the lass live in this room that had been dyed with blood? And all of these dead pirates...they needed to take them out to prevent Xiaocao from having misgivings about living here in the future. Right then and there, he came up with the idea that once the pirates were all eradicated he was going to take out money to have the Yu Family’s old residence completely renovated. It wouldn’t be comfortable for his little lass to live in a place where people were killed.
The seven to eight pirate corpses that were in the east room had all been moved out by Zhu Junyang and Commander Zheng and thrown into the nearby mountain forest for beasts to drag away. Inside the forest, Yu Xiaocao changed into her sharkskin swimsuit and then the four of them snuck out under the light of the moon towards the beach.
To get to the ocean required going through the entire village. When she saw that the vast majority of houses and residences had been burnt to a crisp in the village, Yu Xiaocao felt rage burning inside her. These bastards were really too evil. Stealing the villagers’ things was one thing, but what was the point in burning down their homes? She also rejoiced that the villagers had all fled. Otherwise, those cruel and vicious bastards wouldn’t have shown any mercy to them! The sorrowful sight in front of her further solidified her desire to sabotage all of the pirates’ ships tonight.
In a dark and secluded area of the reef, Yu Xiaocao easily slipped into the ocean and seemed to become one with the water. It was as if she had turned into a cute dolphin, swimming swiftly in the ocean. Zhu Junyang couldn’t catch her even when he tried and could only stare blankly as she swum further and further away to become a hazy black dot in the distance.
‘Didn’t we agree that you were going to stick close to me ah? You forget your promises so quickly!’ Zhu Junyang couldn’t vent his temper right now. Fortunately, Yu Hai’s swimming abilities were decent and he stuck closely to Xiaocao in the water. Only then did the prince feel his anxiety drop.
Once they got to the bottom of the Wokou pirates’ ship, the father and daughter pair were both like oysters and clung tenaciously to the bottom of the ship. With chisels in their hands, they forcefully started to chip at the hull.
[Little Divine Stone, are you there?] Trying to damage the hull of the ship underwater was truly an arduous task. Yu Xiaocao couldn’t help but try to find some outside help.
[Don’t talk to me, this divine stone doesn’t have much energy and I’m currently in the middle of cultivating…] The little divine stone thought that it personally contributed a lot to the previous events, so it decided to use this as an excuse for the near future to not help.
[Such nonsense! You helped me a lot this last time and you managed to save so many lives at the Tanggu Docks and Dongshan Village. You must have gained a lot of energy for these deeds so it’s more likely that your cultivation has increased tremendously and your energy restored! Stop making excuses and start helping out now!] It’d be more surprising if Yu Xiaocao believed the lying stone’s words.
It was getting harder and harder to fool its master. The little divine stone rolled its eyes. However, Xiaocao wasn’t wrong at all. At this time, the little divine stone had gained a lot of energy and the fetters on its body had loosened again. With its cultivation increased, now it could form a material body and speak!
This time its ability to make a physical form wasn’t like the past when it could only become a little kitten. As long as it wanted to, it could take the form of a child around three to four years old and also make ordinary people around it hear it talk. This was already a great improvement. It was confident that, before long, it would regain all of its cultivation, break through its chains, and travel to the heavens, leaving behind this godforsaken place. It could finally return to Goddess Nuwa’s side…
It accepted its fate and channeled some spiritual energy into Xiaocao’s arm. Yu Xiaocao suddenly had supernatural strength in the arm holding the chisel and the damage she inflicted upon the hull increased. After a few more pushes, a giant hole appeared at the bottom of the ship. Ocean water rushed into the ship and the hole became wider and wider. The ship slowly started to sink…
The Wokou pirates, who were on the ship guarding it, very quickly discovered that there was something wrong. Sounds of them jabbering could be heard and some went down into the ship to patch the hole while others looked over the sides of the ship. The other three people weren’t like Xiaocao with the little divine stone to help them breathe underwater. Very soon, one of the pirates on the ship had spotted Zhu Junyang swimming in the water.
“The enemy is attacking! There are people in the water attacking the ships!” The pirates on the ship hollered. Following that, the sounds of a few people dropping into the water could be heard. A dozen or so pirates who were good at swimming headed towards the four people to pincer them.
