She almost surrendered without a fight.

  Almost.

  Hmm... Fine. At most, she was going to launch a surprise attack with the hibiscus golden needle hidden in her hair, but it unfortunately failed. Since she could not succeed, she could just let the other side do as they pleased with her. This was better than both sides fighting a battle, leaving everyone on the well boat at the mercy of enemies, and turning a good reunion night into a day of mourning entirely.

  Lu Yun sat cross-legged beside her, holding her extremely close, and stroked her uneven hair that looked like it had been chewed by dog teeth with infinite pity. "The location of my Brocade Island has always been secret, not even Resalong has ever been there. It would be the best thing if sister is willing to go back to the island with me and seek pleasure together with me. I have long heard of the famous beauty of the hostess of 'Feixia Tower', and heard one after another jianghu legends about you. Now that I have obtained sister, I truly treasure you as a priceless treasure."

  Huoduomei groaned inwardly, but her beautiful face still maintained a lazy smile, retaining that always carefree, devil-may-care air. She was just about to soothe Lu Yun with a few words and then coax her extensively, to see if she could get the other to remove this heavy set of shackles that only the government would use to escort heinous imperial convicts, when a sound came from the deck above.

  A few more people climbed down the wooden ladder this time. Besides three stocky short girls who were under Luanshanyun, there were also three ragged, unkempt rough men.

  "Luwa, why did you bring these three stinking pigs down here?" Lu Yun's tone was clearly displeased.

  The short girl who was called pulled her other two sisters, and said bluntly: "Leader, these three Moshe tribesmen were captured onto our boat two days ago. Fuwa, Shouwa and I saw that they... uh... they huddled on the deck pretty honestly, and did the work we assigned them obediently, so we wanted to bring them down to the lower hold. There's a lot of heavy work down there, we can order them to carry fresh water, clean the cannons..."

  " Aren't you three, the Fortune-Longevity trio, looking for a hidden place to force them?" Lu Yun narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, and when she said the words "force", she suddenly took a fancy to Huoduomei's face and kissed her lingeringly on the lips.

  Upon hearing this, the three sisters actually became guilty and flushed all over their faces, and exclaimed loudly——

  "Nothing of the sort! Leader, you've misunderstood greatly! These three are so filthy, anyone would feel sick looking at them. If we wanted to force anyone, we'd at least pick the right object... You! That's you! Bastard! What are you looking at? Lower your head! Is the scene of our leader having intimate time with a beauty something you can gawk at?" They kicked the three Moshe tribesmen one after another, and the three men crashed to the ground. The one man who had just dared to stare straight at Lu Yun being intimate with the beauty even got a whip lash, which tore open the front of his tattered clothes.

  Ugh... Damn it! I really... can't move at all! Huoduomei's lips hurt from being crushed by Lu Yun's wildly sucking mouth, yet she has nowhere to dodge. There was nothing she could do: her slender neck, wrists, ankles and waist were all bound with iron chains. Six chains from head to toe were all firmly nailed to the ship's planks. Her whole body felt so heavy, how could she escape!

  What was even more troublesome was that Lu Yun had a similar temperament to her: she definitely responded better to softness than hardness. If she fought head-on with Lu Yun in her current disadvantaged position, things would only end worse for her... In these days of being captured, she had more or less learned a way to protect herself.

  She gave up on struggling and stopped resisting. She could just treat this as practicing art with the Twelve Golden Hairpins when she was young. It was not like she had never been kissed before. But... mmmmmm, bastard! Why are you so rough? Can't you be gentler?

  As her lips softened, Lu Yun's tongue slipped in. The force of the kiss almost made her faint from lack of air.

  "Sister is getting more and more obedient." Lu Yun laughed approvingly, her voice slightly deep and full of charm. "Later I will have someone bring a bucket of clean water, and I will bathe you myself, sister."

  Hide resentment toward your friend, hide resentment toward your friend, hide resentment toward your friend... Huoduomei repeated this phrase silently in her mind over and over, grinding her silver teeth secretly until her jaw ached, yet she still managed to smile sweetly. "It's really too much to trouble you to wait on me every day, sister. I think it would be better if you just untie these shackles, I can do everything myself." Suddenly her voice dropped, and her delicate body trembled slightly, as if she had caught sight of something strange.

  Lu Yun noticed her subtle reaction and lifted her face. "What's wrong?"

  What's wrong?

  She's asking what's wrong?

  Hahaha, hehehe, nothing much at all, she's just so happy and excited!

  She wasn't mistaken, she saw it! The front of the man who got whipped was torn apart, revealing a dark bronze chest. That wasn't strange, what was strange was the ring of lighter-colored mark around his thick neck. It must have come from wearing something like a neck ring or collar around his neck for years, so that area got less sun exposure and left this obvious pale mark.

  She was very familiar with that pale ring! It was exactly the same shape as the silver ring she gave to someone!

  Joy and sourness mixed in her heart, hot blood rushed wildly through her veins, making her dizzy and her ears hot, and her eyes unaccountably heated up.

  To tell the truth, when she was surrounded by Luanshanyun on the fifteenth night, despite the shock in her heart, she had strangely developed a stubborn idea close to fighting till mutual destruction.

  To put it bluntly, that kind of thinking carried a sense of self-abuse and self-destruction. With danger right in front of her, she would dare to leap down without hesitation, no regrets. If her enemy wanted to capture her, she would surrender without a fight. Leave, so be it; die, so be it. Whatever they did to her, she didn't care.

  She treated herself badly, let herself fall into prison, and then thought wildly like a person losing her mind, wondering if that man in her heart would ache when he saw her like this? Would he still be angry at her? Would he be willing to love her again, pamper her again, pity her immensely?

  Hehe, she said it before, no one can bear this stubborn and arrogant temper of hers!

  Now he was here. He made himself look like a wretched good-for-nothing, covered in filth, his greasy hair tangled up, hunched shoulders hunched that made people unable to connect him to his usual straight standing posture.

  Suddenly, a pair of sharp eyes from under the dirty face met hers in an instant. Her heart trembled violently, her breathing deepened, and she quickly looked away to avoid it. Had he come for her? She... was so happy, so happy... so happy that her eyes misted over. Huoduomei tried hard to hold it in, but Lu Yun, who was very close to her, became suspicious.

  "Huh?" Lu Yun raised her thin eyebrows, and her pretty face immediately caught sight of the suspicious man.

  Huoduomei was greatly alarmed in her heart and attacked without a second word.

  For the first time, her two delicate arms took the initiative to wrap around Lu Yun's shoulders, the thin iron chains on her wrists clinking loudly. She lifted her face and kissed Lu Yun's pretty lips passionately like fire.

  "Sister, you've teased me until I'm all burning hot, feel it, touch it... My heart is beating so fast because of the sin you've done..." She rubbed her full breasts affectionately against the other's body, twisted her snake-like waist, and her jade leg under the thin dress wrapped tightly around Lu Yun's waist, not letting her go.

  A live pornographic scene unfolded right in front of them. The three stocky short Fortune-Longevity sisters blushed but still opened their eyes wide to watch carefully, so for the moment they had no time to pay attention to the three male prisoners.

  What happened next was extremely chaotic.

  Everything was a mess, and all the events happened in an instant.

  Huoduomei only knew that she could not let Lu Yun touch those three men. They had sneaked in for a certain plan, and they must not give themselves away.

  She held Lu Yun and kissed her wholeheartedly, blooming fully like a delicate flower craving nourishment. No matter what, she had to divert Lu Yun's attention.

  Amidst the confusion and anxiety, something broke out——

  Wild roars, deafening explosions, panicked and furious shouts... She frowned and closed her eyes, unconsciously curling up her body and burying her head between her elbows. This was an instinctive self-protection, because a earth-shattering thunderous explosion shook the ship violently.

  The next moment, the breath in her chest was almost completely squeezed out of her.

  A pair of man's strong arms hugged her tightly, held her so roughly, so tightly, so regardless of his own life, as if afraid she would disappear for no reason. She didn't need to look up to know who the owner of this embrace was. His valorous scent had long been branded into her memory, she could never forget it.

  His thick chest heaved. She knew he was shouting, but because he was too close she couldn't hear clearly, she only caught other people's shouts in the chaos——

  "Leader! There's a surprise attack from enemies!"

  "...We can't see their flag. Two black ships with excellent equipment, each carrying twelve cannons!"

  "Put oars in the water, raise the triangular sails, open the gun ports, meet the attack!" Lu Yun ordered quickly, then roared loudly. "Resalong! Let go of her!"

  Resalong. Resalong. Resalong, he came for her...
