Chapter 29

At the same time, on another island, Tian Yu was so angry that she stomped her feet.

She had been asking for help for a long time and finally found someone who could help. She didn’t expect that she would be dismissed just by giving her some equipment.

She pitifully called out a few more times in the chat, but still didn’t get a response from anyone.

Back then, Tian Yu was also a campus belle and was sought after by tens of thousands of people on campus.

Whenever she wanted to do something, she could get a hundred responses with a single call.

Later on, because she didn’t want to be in a relationship, she had people spread the word that she was a lesbian.

At this moment, Tian Yu felt regret as she thought about that. She was already 20 years old.

But until now, Tian Yu had never held hands with a boy, nor hugged one.

“I’m so angry! These useless men! As expected, none of them can be relied on!”

The more Tian Yu thought about it, the angrier she felt. She wondered why this happened to her. If she had known, she wouldn’t have come to this Shallow Sea region.

‘I was a campus belle, but now I had to face a group of brutal pirates alone!’ Tian Yu thought.

“Forget it, forget it. Let’s not think about those troublesome things,” Tian Yu said.

After taking a deep breath, Tian Yu tried to calm herself down.

Su Bai, who had just awoken from a night’s sleep, lay on the bed lazily and refused to move.

Since fishing was already automated, it was rare for Su Bai to have such a comfortable life.

However, such a beautiful morning was interrupted by Meng Lin’s message.

Meng Lin texted, [Su Bai, it seems like there are really pirates here. Just now, the pirates also circled around my area.]

Su Bai asked, [Have you seen the pirates’ strength?]

Meng Lin replied, [Yes, I did. There were about five people on that ship. I checked through the system, and the strongest among them has a combat power of 100.]

Su Bai asked, [What’s your current combat power?]

Meng Lin replied, [130!]

Su Bai instructed, [In that case, I’ll leave these pirates to you.]

Meng Lin replied, [Su Bai… I…]

Su Bai added, [I’ll give you a warship to destroy them!]

Su Bai immediately opened the trade window and traded the warship to Meng Lin.

Just as Su Bai ended the transaction, he suddenly received a friend request. He opened it and saw that the friend request was from Tian Yu.

“Tian Yu sounds like a girl’s name.”

Tian Yu did not sleep well last night. She was constantly worried that the pirates would attack.

She didn’t fall asleep until it was almost dawn, but she suddenly woke up not long after.

“That’s right, why don’t I go to Su Bai? He’s so strong that he can definitely deal with this group of pirates, unlike the two yesterday.”

After making up her mind, Tian Yu quickly added Su Bai as a friend.

Tian Yu texted, [Su Bai, you’re in the Shallow Sea too?]

Su Bai replied, [Yes.]

Tian Yu texted, [That’s great! Can you save me, Su Bai? Yesterday, some pirates came here. I’m worried they’ll come.]

Su Bai replied, [Pirates? You should be able to handle it yourself.]

Tian Yu texted, [No! How can a girl like me deal with so many pirates?]

Tian Yu pleaded, [I beg you, Su Bai. Please save me. If you don’t, these pirates might do something else.]

Tian Yu continued, [I’m all alone with no one to rely on. Are you not willing to help me?]

Su Bai replied, [Alright, I’ll help you.]

Tian Yu replied, [Alright, I’ll be waiting for you in my room.]

Su Bai typed, […]

Only then did Tian Yu realize that she had said the wrong thing. When she said it just now, she did not feel that there was any other meaning, but it was not quite right to say this to a boy.

Su Bai didn’t care about the details. The most important thing was to clarify this misunderstanding.

Su Bai texted Meng Lin, [Are you on your way? I have a task for you. Go and subdue the pirates. I have a use for them.]

Meng Lin replied, [I’m on my way, Su Bai. But, why don’t we just kill these pirates? Why leave them alive?]

Su Bai texted, [I said it’s useful, just do as I say.]

Meng Lin replied, [Okay, Su Bai. I understand.]

Su Bai didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that he had just gotten a warship and was having fun at sea, and was mistaken for a pirate. Now, Meng Lin was asking for help, and if Su Bai didn’t help, he was worried that Meng Lin would keep bothering him.

“No, I definitely can’t say that. I have to think of a more perfect explanation.” Su Bai muttered to himself.

Just as Su Bai was thinking of a countermeasure, Meng Lin sent him a message, [Su Bai, I’ve successfully subdued the pirates for a while. What should I do next?]

Meng Lin texted, [Su Bai? Are you there?]

Su Bai replied, [Take these pirates to this location.]

Meng Lin asked, [Where is this place? What am I going to do there?]

Su Bai replied, [This is the island of the girl who asked for help during the day. I like her. So you can ask these pirates to rob her island later. Then I will show up and get rid of them.]

Meng Lin replied, [What? I can’t believe you got yourself a girlfriend so quickly. No problem, I will definitely complete the mission.]

Su Bai replied, [Cut the crap. I will be there in five hours. Just wait and see.]

Su Bai didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly used this as an excuse.

He still didn’t know what that girl looked like, and he was still wondering how he was going to clean up the mess after he did that.

Four hours later, Su Bai successfully arrived at the island where Tian Yu was.

Su Bai carefully and quickly put his warship away after he landed on the island, or he would be regarded as a pirate.

Su Bai texted, [Hey, I’m here. Where are you?]

Tian Yu replied, [I’m in the house, I’ll come out now.]

Tian Yu didn’t expect Su Bai to arrive so quickly. She quickly got off the bed and ran out of the house.

“Y-You’re Su Bai?”

“Yes, didn’t you ask me to come?”

“Haha. I just didn’t expect you to be so young. I thought you were an uncle in your thirties or forties.”

“I’m sorry to disappoint you.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. I meant to say that you look very young.”

Su Bai was speechless.

“That’s not it. I just wanted to say that you’re not that old. No, it’s… why are you the same age as me? I just didn’t expect you to be the same age as me.”

“Alright, you don’t have to explain. I almost understand what you mean.”

“That’s good. Hahaha. How did you get here so quickly? Did you swim here?”

“Take a look at the map and see how far apart our two islands are. Show me if you could swim from there to here?”

“You’re so funny. I was just joking. Of course I know you didn’t swim over here.

“Ah! Pirates! The pirates were here! Hurry up! Hurry up! Hurry up! I’m counting on you, Su Bai, I’ll cheer for you! I’m going back to my room, I’m scared!”
