Chapter 237: Chapter 196: Spatial Shuttle, Yuzhi Island_2

The fruits, branches, and flowers of the tree were often sold as gemstones.

Yuzhi Island was full of Jade Branch Trees, and first-time visitors always thought they had entered the Immortal Realm.

The Mechanical Ship slowly descended from the sky and landed peacefully on the sea’s surface, causing a layer of gentle ripples.

This time, escaping with Eluo had depleted all the energy value accumulated by the Mechanical Ship.

Not just the energy value, but nearly all the machinery of the Mao Rabbit Army was used up by her, along with the ammunition and other supplies, costing Chen Qing a lot.

Because of this, Chen Qing also gave up the opportunity to buy an alchemy factory from Clockwork Bay and to fleece the Mechanical Association.

If Jia’s gratitude gift couldn’t satisfy Chen Qing, she really would consider handing over the two, Eluo and her companion, to Yuan Fei.

Yuan Fei would probably be more than happy to offer a better deal than the Bounty Guild.

She despised Jia intensely.

Because she used spatial travel, Chen Qing arrived at Yuzhi Island much earlier than Jia and her group had anticipated. When she got there, the Demon Dragon Pirate Group hadn’t arrived yet.

Chen Qing simply went to her room to rest, and the Mechanical Heart docked the ship on Yuzhi Island.

Yuzhi Island wasn’t under the influence of any faction in Treasure Sea; it was just an ordinary island.

Just like the Reef Island that Chen Qing initially encountered, it was remote, mostly inhabited by civilians, with occasional visits from pirates or tourists and merchant ships.

The island was indeed beautiful but, unfortunately, lacked resources and wasn’t very large.

Only a few thousand villagers lived on the entire island, and the Jade Branch Tree was just a regular plant.

The Jade Branch Tree was sold as a gemstone, commonly referred to as a fake.

When the Mechanical Ship appeared, the island’s civilians were terrified, thinking another pirate visit was underway.

Given the size of the Mechanical Ship, it wasn’t the sort of small pirate these civilians could handle.

In panic, the civilians quickly hid their elderly and children, and under the leadership of the village chief, a group of young adults cautiously approached the dock.

Upon seeing the well-armed weapons on the Mechanical Ship, the elderly village chief nearly fainted.

How had their Yuzhi Village attracted such a disaster!!

God damn it!!

"Village chief, village chief, it seems like the ship has no intentions of attacking us, and it looks like there’s no one aboard."

A Yuzhi Village villager quickly supported the chief and whispered comforting words.

"Yes, chief, there has been no activity for a while now, let’s ask Granny Yuhua."

The Granny Yuhua they referred to was the sole employee at the small Bounty Guild located at the dock of Yuzhi Island.

She was also the most knowledgeable person on the island.

"Right, right, right."

The previously unconscious village chief suddenly woke up and led the other villagers to the Bounty Guild.

The Bounty Guild on Yuzhi Island was slightly larger than that on Reef Island, having a storefront and a two-story building that covered over fifty square meters.

There were lovely flowers planted at the entrance, and the island’s villagers had also fenced off a section for growing vegetables and keeping a sea dog.

It was quite picturesque.

Unfortunately, Granny Yuhua was a heavy drinker, drinking during the day and night.

Were it not for the villagers’ help, she wouldn’t just neglect her small garden and vegetable plot; even the Bounty Guild’s tiny building would be abandoned.

When the villagers, with weapons in hand, rushed into the Bounty Guild, unsurprisingly, Yuhua was already drunk, hugging a bottle and sound asleep.

"Yuhua, Yuhua!!"

The village chief yelled near Yuhua’s ear while other villagers helped by furiously shaking her body, hoping she would wake up.

Regardless of how they struggled, Yuhua showed no signs of waking up.

"Chief, chief, chief—no, no, no—"

A villager guarding the door suddenly burst into the room, stumbling over his words, unable to speak clearly.

"What’s wrong?"

"Yes, yes, yes, the ship, the ship, the ship—"

"Did someone come off the ship?!!"

The village chief’s eyes filled with terror, almost leaping three feet high.

"Yes!"

Just as the villager finished speaking, a tall dark figure appeared at the doorway, effectively blocking the doorway’s sunlight.

"!!!"

"Help!!"

"The pirates are here!!!"

The villagers of Yuzhi Village were all panicked, scattering in fright.

However, some villagers were more rational, knowing they needed to confront the pirates first.

So, a steel fork was thrust against Chen Qing’s back, but it couldn’t pierce through at all.

"???"

A puzzled expression appeared on Chen Qing’s face.

"Pirates?"

Her ship hadn’t flown a pirate flag, had it?

And she herself didn’t look like a pirate, did she?

"Get off Yuzhi Island, you damn pirate!!"
