Minmin hurried over and Xin Yue whispered: "There is a sea god here who often comes in the morning. She said that as long as I catch her, she will give me powerful immortal energy. I will chase her every day.

The more immortal energy you have every day, the stronger your strength will be. Don’t tell others, this is a secret between us."

"Sister, can I chase after you too?" The child blinked, "I also want to become very strong."

"No." Xin Yue shook his head, "I will receive less immortal energy."

The more you refuse, the more attractive you are, and the harder it is to get, the more you want it. This is especially obvious in children. Minmin pouted her lips: "Sister, you can't be so stingy. I don't care, anyway, I do it every day."

If I want to follow you to chase Poseidon, I will also become very strong."

The conversation between the two fell into the ears of Sister Zhang. She smiled at Xin Yue and said, "Girl, you have something to do."

The dinner was very sumptuous. Over time, the fisherman's wife developed a liking for Xin Yue and Xia Chuan. Especially today, Xin Yue showed off his unique fishing skills in front of her, which made Sister Zhang smile from ear to ear. They got along very well.

joy.

During the dinner, Brother Zhang talked about what he had seen at sea: "I heard that Chu Zhiling, the king of the sea, is back again."

Xin Yue's eyes sank, and Sister Zhang asked: "Didn't you say he was dead? I heard from Aunt Hua next door that he was swept away by the strong wind and drowned."

Brother Zhang: "Do you believe Aunt Hua's bullshit? She didn't see anyone die, so she's just talking nonsense. I heard from some brothers who went to sea a few days ago that a search order was issued as soon as Chu Zhiling came back this time.

."

"Who offended him?"

"It seems to be a woman."

Sister Zhang put down her chopsticks: "My dear, these bandits only do things to rob girls. I heard that Chu Zhiling is a somewhat conscientious one among the pirates, but I didn't expect..." She shook her head, "I feel sorry for this girl.

…”

Brother Zhang was eating the food: "Aren't these pirates all the same? Have you ever seen pirates who did good things? Our village was burned down by these pirates and thieves in the past few years," Brother Zhang said with a hint of worry on his simple face.

, "Although they haven't been here for several years, I can't guarantee that they will come again in the next few days. I heard that Mr. Liu Xiang is near here, and he might come to visit us some time."

"What?" Sister Zhang was immediately shocked, "That evil thief?"

Liu Xiang was famous for his cruelty, and just his name made people's faces change.

It was night, the moon and stars were sparse.

Xin Yue sat on the bed, lowered his head and said to Xia Chuan: "Let's get ready and escape from here."

The starry sky sprinkled on Xia Chuan's plain clothes, and he moved his lips: "Why do you want to run away?"

"You want to die?"

Xia Chuan shook his head: "No." He sat on the ground, his robes scattered, and looked at Xin Yue, "Why don't you fight?"

"You mean, resist the pirates' attack and protect the village?" Xin Yue raised his eyebrows.

Xia Chuan didn't speak, he just looked at her, his eyes sparkling with colors.

She raised the corners of her lips: "Are you laughing at me?" Her side face was haloed by the moonlight, looking a little unearthly in beauty, "I think my greatest advantage is that I have self-awareness and let go of things I am sure of.

Just like when I dealt with the Dutch Army before, I analyzed the pros and cons and struck decisively. That was because I understood the conflict between Chu Zhiling and the Dutch Army. I was in a fairly active position, and many people were involved behind my back.

, so the chances of winning are very high.”

She continued: "But now, no matter how capable I am, I cannot lead a group of closed-minded fishermen who cannot trust me to launch an attack on a large group of wolf-like pirates. I have observed that this place is really backward.

There is not even a slightly advanced fort, so once the pirates come, they can only be captured without mercy."

"Don't you think you're reluctant to give up?" Xia Chuan raised the corners of his lips calmly, "You are obviously much happier here than on Chu Zhiling's boat."

Xin Yue looked at him and his voice became much darker: "I am not a savior. I don't want to make unnecessary sacrifices."

The moonlight is deep, shining on the stacked branches, and the sea surface is pale, and there seems to be land moving around. The wind is stirring the sea surface, making a roaring sound.

The tide was so high that the raft and the boat could easily be overturned. Escape had to wait until tomorrow.

The next morning, the sun shines brightly.

"Sister, where is Poseidon? How can we chase her if we can't see her?" Minmin asked breathlessly while running. Xin Yue saw that the child had run a certain distance, so he slowed down and said to her

: "Only my sister can see Poseidon, because she is an adult and children cannot see it. Minmin can just follow her and run away."

"Oh." The child nodded obediently.

After running for a long time, the two of them rested by a rock. After recovering some breath, Minmin turned to Xin Yue and said: "It would be great if my sister would always be with us. Brother Xiaoxu has a sister and a younger brother."

, I am alone, if you are not here, sister, there will be no one to play with me."

Although they come from a wealthy family and have many brothers and sisters, their feelings toward Xin Yue are resistance and rejection rather than warmth and care. At this moment, the child's words made Xin Yue slightly startled.

of splendor.

She took the child's hand and said, "Come on, Minmin, let's have a competition to pick up shells. The loser will wash the dishes at noon today."

Xin Yue had already slowed down her movements, but Minmin still lost. The sunlight refracted from the sea water and fell on Xin Yue's plain clothes. She curled her lips and said, "I am willing to admit defeat."

"It's not fair, you are an adult and I am a child." The child habitually pursed his lips, and his voice was crispy and soft, with the delicate delicacy unique to children.

Xin Yue shook his head: "Those who can't afford to lose, tsk tsk."

"I'm not a loser," she looked at Xin Yue's smiling face and gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, "Just wash the dishes."

Xin Yue touched her head: "This is so good."

Just as he was about to walk back, he found that the child had not followed. Xin Yue turned back and looked at the little Minmin: "Aren't you going back?"

Minmin kicked the sand: "My feet hurt and I can't walk."

Oh, does this child need to be carried by her? Xin Yue moved her lips: "You will be angry if you lose?"

"No."

"Then just walk back by yourself. My feet hurt after just a few steps." Xin Yue bent down and tapped Min Min's shoulder. "Am I so easy to deceive when you think of me as a sister?"

"Sister, my feet really hurt." The child is thin and small, and her skin is a bit dark, but her eyes are very big. Now she blinks at Xin Yue, and they are so dark and shiny that she can pinch water.

Just for a moment, the child ran behind Xin Yue. His thin little arms pulled Xin Yue's clothes down, trying to make Xin Yue squat down, and shouted with a smile: "Sister, carry me on your back."

Bar."

He really thought her feet hurt. Xin Yue glanced at Minmin depressedly. This child was really good at lying.
