lings for dinner tonight. I'd like to see the skill of the Madam Queen with my own eyes. If you can't make them, it will be a shame, hehehe~~~"With a cold snort, Bai Shiqi lifted the water bucket and...[]

A large ship sailing on the vast ocean.

A gentle sea breeze blew.

A woman in a white veil stood on the deck, gazing into the distance.

A single white robe, reaching to her ankles with long, crimson hair. Just from the side view, she was breathtakingly beautiful, captivating all eyes and stealing one's breath away. Imagine, then, what wonders would unfold once she removed the white veil covering her eyes.

"Master, can she see things even though there's a white cloth covering her eyes"

The young man, Ap, and Yun An'an had a brief encounter, narrowly escaping death by sword at Silver Moon Lake.

Although the crew did not know how the woman with white clothes and red hair boarded the ship, it was clear that none of the men and boys on board were her match.

"Mind your own business and do your work."

The old shipwright slapped Apu's head again and ordered his apprentice to get back to work, warning him not to lose his life because of a few useless words.

A sea breeze caressed her face. On the deck, Yun Anan slowly extended her hand, feeling the wind passing through her fingers, like fine sand, slipping away as soon as she tried to grasp it.

At this time, a small figure walked to the mountainside and stood beside Yun'an. A pair of dark eyes blinked at her.

"Big sister, here's some candy."

A six-year-old girl offered her candy to Yun An'an, her eyes radiating innocent and pure simplicity.

"Mother said that after eating sugar, all the unhappy things would fly away. Elder sister ate sugar."

Seeing the little girl approach, Yun An’an just watched her quietly from behind the white veil.

The little girl's mother took a few steps forward, hugged her daughter in her arms, and kept apologizing.

Even though the child had done nothing, the sailors knew they shouldn't provoke anyone who came from Phoenix Fairy Island, especially this woman with fiery red hair, who looked very strange.

"This honored sir, it was my disrespect. Please forgive me."

Women are the cooks on the ship and also the captain's wives. They travel at sea together, transporting goods.

Feeling the fear in the eyes of the women, Yun An'an ignored the crowd and turned her gaze to the vast expanse of the sea.

The ocean is vast, and in comparison, humans are so tiny.

The boat, like a leaf on the water, sails across a vast expanse of deep blue.

One day, while sailing, a sudden storm struck. The ship rocked violently, and a bolt of lightning split the sails in two.

People steered the ship while begging God to have mercy and let them return safely to land.

Perhaps their prayers were heard by heaven, in less than half an incense stick of time, the dark clouds dispersed and sunlight broke through the clouds, shining on the sea surface.

"Thanks to the heavens, thanks to the Sea Goddess."

The people on the deck knelt down, thanking the gods for saving them.

But the arrival of a large ship shortly after sank everyone's spirits once again.

If they encounter a storm, they may still have a chance to survive and return home.

But when they encountered the pirate ship, all that was left in their eyes was fear and despair.

"Could this really be the end"

The Captain slumped to the ground, suddenly whipping his head around to look at his wife and child. As the pirate ship drew closer, he shoved his wife and daughter into the deepest part of the hold.

"Stay inside no matter what happens."

At the end, the boat captain knelt down before Yun'an.

"Sir, we don't know if we can survive this any longer, but we beg you to show mercy and protect my wife and children."

As he spoke, the captain shut the hatch to the hold. He followed close behind and immediately heard a series of loud bangs and curses on deck, along with the sound of knives slashing into flesh.

"All of you who don't want to die, listen up! From today on, this ship belongs to me!"

The one-eyed pirate stood on the deck, sword in hand, glaring menacingly at the sailors kneeling before him.

You shall also have the fortune of becoming Laozi's slaves, and if you dare to resist, this will be your fate.

With a whoosh, the one-eyed pirate captain slashed off the ship's master's arm with his sword. The ship's master let out a scream of agony.

It was precisely this scream that caused the little girl hiding in the hold to cry out, and it also alerted the rest of the pirates to the presence of three more people hidden in the hold.

"Boss, there are two women and a carrot head in the hold."

"Look what I got! I didn't expect any surprises today."

On Pirate Island, men are a dime a dozen while women are as rare as hen's teeth. Even the grandmothers who cook are treasures to be found.

"Boss, she's still a young woman, pretty and well-behaved. It's just that her eyes are covered with white cloth."

One pirate held a sword in one hand, while dragging a woman and carrying a terrified little girl in the other. Another pirate rushed down into the hold to take a look, and at once he was speechless. That figure, that face...

"Boss, she's as beautiful as a fairy, really something else!"

Bang!

Before the pirate could finish his words, a dark shadow flew out of the hold and into the air. It hung in mid-air for a moment before plummeting straight down with a splash into the ocean.

"Where is Lao Qi"

They just saw Lao Qi flying and then falling into the sea.

"Boss... Seven hasn't surfaced in so long, did he die"

"Get that bitch out here for me, you bunch of idiots. Go get Lao Qi up here."

The one-eyed pirate ordered two men to drag the woman from below deck, while another group went into the water to retrieve others.

But the two who entered the cabin met the same fate as Old Seven before them.

Thump! Thump!

Two sounds accompanied by splashes, the two figures plunged into the sea and disappeared.

"Boss... Could it be that the wives have used magic"

"Acting all spooky, I want to see what kind of thing dares to come to my Overlord Island."

Before the one-eyed pirate could advance with his sword, Yun An'an, clad in white with red hair, stepped into the spotlight.

The sun breaking through the clouds bathed her in its light. With every step she took, it seemed as if crimson lotuses bloomed beneath her feet.

Such unearthly strangeness, such alluring charm, a deadly beauty that captivates the gaze.

The sea breeze rustled through her hair, scattering crimson strands. Her white veil fluttered gently to the ground in the wind.

When the white veil fell, a pair of eyes, as red as a demon's, slowly opened. The redness was piercing; just one glance could fill you with terror.

His eyes seemed to hold the gaze of a death god, capable of stealing away one's very soul.

"Disturb my peace, and you die."

Her red lips moved slightly, her voice calm and undisturbed.

But every word and phrase, imbued with murderous intent once again sank everyone's hearts to the bottom.

Yunan's murderous intent, erupting around him like a storm, had momentarily stunned the one-eyed pirate. Only then did he regain his senses.

"With a good attitude, and not even inquiring about what our Overlord Island is like, you guys get up there, catch her and bring her back to warm my bed."

"Yes, boss!"

A few pirate lackeys rushed forward. As soon as they got close, a chill ran down their necks.

In an instant, blood spurted, and one by one they fell to the ground, becoming corpses.

"

A bunch of ants.

"

With a flick of her jade hand, the horizontal sword at her waist unsheathed. A flash of silver, and in the blink of an eye, the one-eyed pirate and over ten others were decapitated, their lives cut short by her blade.

A single drop of blood slid off the blade. Yun An retracted her horizontally held sword and turned back into the cabin, as if nothing had just happened.

The boat captain, who had lost an arm, was relieved that everyone had survived the ordeal, but his fear of Yun Anan grew even deeper.

It turned out that hanging at the waist of the woman in white with red hair wasn't a jade pendant, but an extremely thin and sharp horizontal sword, concealed beneath her white robes and ready to take a life at any moment.

The pirate king of the Overlord Island was killed at sea. The people on his ship cleaned up the pirate's body and threw them all into the ocean.

After this incident, the sailors held An Yun'an in even greater awe and fear.

In three days they would reach the port of Xiling, and Apu gathered his courage, holding a plate of seafood dumplings, and knocked on Yun'an's door.

"Miss, what are you doing"

There was no answer from inside the room, and Apu lightly knocked on the door again.

"Young lady, I see you haven't eaten in two days. Your body won't hold up. That... I packed some seafood dumplings for you to eat some."

Sailors passing by looked at Apu with suspicious and bewildered eyes.

They couldn't hide even if they tried, this kid actually took the initiative to come looking for trouble.

Knock knock knock~

I don't know how many times the door had been knocked on, but finally an impatient voice answered from inside.

Come in.

Pushing the door open, Apu carefully lifted his head to look at Yun Anan who was reading by the window.

"This is seafood dumpling..."

Let it go.

His voice grew colder, but Yun An'an didn't turn her head to look at Apu. She continued flipping through the book in her hands.

"Miss, the seafood dumplings taste best when they're hot. Eating them cold might upset your stomach. Try some, and if you don't like them, I'll make a new batch for you."

Appears to have made up her mind to let Yun An an eat first before reading, she won't leave until she does.

He admitted, he was afraid of the woman before him. He had almost been killed by her at Yinyue Lake in Phoenix Fairy Island back then.

But she also saved the lives of everyone on board, though her methods were cruel, she was ultimately a benefactor to them.

Hearing the noise beside her ear, Yun An'an finally turned her head. On the white sand, blood-red eyes first formally gazed at Apu.

I hate seafood.

After sailing on the sea for more than a month, eating seafood every day, she didn't like it.

"Does that girl like noodles Let me make a bowl of noodles for you."

It was still three days' journey to land, and there were some noodles left in the kitchen. Since he didn't like eating seafood dumplings, he would make some noodles.

"Miss, please wait a moment. I'll be right back."

Before Yun'an could speak, Ap turned and left the room.

After two incense sticks' worth of time, Ap returned to the cabin room, holding a bowl of noodles in his hand.

It's a simple bowl of oil noodles with just a few sprigs of green onions in the broth.

"Try this, dear. Although it's not as good as what you'd find in a fancy restaurant, this bowl of noodles is made with my grandma's recipe."

I must be really hungry.

The aroma of the oil noodle soup wafted into her nostrils. Yun An'an hesitated for a moment before putting down her book, slowly walking forward and sitting on the bench. She picked up a spoon and gently scooped a spoonful of noodle soup into her mouth.

It's just so-so.

The taste was so-so, the soup was too salty, and the noodles were chewy in a bad way.

But Yun An'an still finished a bowl of oil noodle soup.
