Chapter 251: Chapter 201: Multimillion Fortune, Choosing Sides

Whether it was the pirates or hunters Chen Qing had encountered, they always seemed to enjoy a lively scene.

They always needed companions.

Perhaps it was because the world was too cruel to people, no matter who, nobody could truly live freely in this world, always being entangled by something.

"Chen Qing!"

You Gu’s eyes were sharp, and she spotted Chen Qing standing on the deck in an instant.

She smiled and waved at Chen Qing, inviting her to join them.

They seemed to be in a good mood.

That was normal, having just raided Mechanical Island, they didn’t know how much money they had made, so it was time to celebrate and have some fun.

"Your necklace, it’s repaired."

Chen Qing walked up to You Gu, opened her hand, and the repaired necklace fell through her fingers.

The warm light of the bonfire illuminated the pendant, and Shang Jia and the others, who had been frolicking, all fell silent.

Many pirates, not much for drinking, had already laid down on the beach and were sound asleep, leaving only a few who were still sober.

The party was nearing its end.

On the empty beach, only the sound of the waves and the crackling of the fire on the wood could be heard.

Occasionally mixed with a few snores, and the pirates grinding their teeth talking in their sleep.

Not far from the shore, very fittingly, a sea beast leaped high out of the water and then plunged back in.

"Really?!"

You Gu looked up at Chen Qing in surprise, she had actually repaired it!

Initially, You Gu hadn’t held much hope, but Chen Qing had given her this pleasant surprise.

"The necklace is repaired?"

On the beach, a pile of pirates who were sprawled out suddenly sat up, their eyes bright and intense.

These were the original members of the Ghost Bone Pirate Group, who had followed You Gu the whole way, never leaving or betraying her.

The image on this necklace was You Gu’s companion, and their companion as well.

You Gu and the others excitedly took the necklace and quickly inspected it.

Chen Qing was pulled by Shang Jia to sit next to her, with Hai Boqiluo, whose face was swollen, and Blue Ghost on the other side of Shang Jia.

The two had been severely beaten by Shang Jia, especially Hai Boqiluo, who couldn’t match Shang Jia even with two hands against one.

"Drink some?"

Shang Jia handed Chen Qing a cup of wine and asked.

"A specialty of the Mist Sea."

"Thank you."

Chen Qing politely accepted it and took a sip, tasting the flavor of cheap liquor.

And it was very, very cheap; truth be told, it tasted terrible.

However, it seemed these pirates liked it, as the bottles on the ground were all of the same kind, and the smell was somewhat choking.

"Is it very hard to drink?"

Blue Ghost came up cheekily and asked.

"Not really."

"Seriously?"

Hai Boqiluo gave Chen Qing a skeptical look. This Light Wine, known in the outer seas as a drink for the destitute, produced in the Mist Sea, was exported far to the poor Three Seas.

Its taste really wasn’t good.

Even many people from the poor Three Seas, once they had money, were resolute in never touching Light Wine again.

Chen Qing actually thought it was okay.

Chen Qing indeed genuinely thought so; while the liquor was of somewhat poor quality, it wasn’t undrinkable.

At least it tasted like wine.

During the time the old lady who had taken in Chen Qing had died, Chen Qing was locked in the house for quite a while.

Later, unable to bear the hunger, she did everything possible to break out and started living a wandering life.

The days of wandering weren’t easy, sometimes hungry, sometimes full, even clean water was not guaranteed.

Surviving was quite an achievement.

"What would be the point of lying to you?"

Chen Qing retorted.

"Suppose you’re right."

Blue Ghost touched his chin, seriously contemplating for a moment.

"But you actually are used to this liquor."

Hai Boqiluo couldn’t help but complain, continuing to open a new box of Light Wine.

Light Wine was cheap, but for Shang Jia and the others, taste wasn’t really that important.

If they wanted, they could afford even the most expensive drinks.

To them, Light Wine had a more significant meaning, intertwined with their lives.

This product of the Mist Sea was even exported far to the Scarlet Sea Domain.

"Never mind then, since Chen Qing can drink it, let’s drink together~"

Shang Jia smiled mischievously as she hugged Chen Qing’s neck, mysteriously producing a new set of dice and a dice cup.

This was even promoted by Zhao Fuli.

"Come on."

Shang Jia passed the dice cup to Chen Qing, the three of them wearing bright, sly smiles.

Accompanied by laughter, their shoulders quivered, laughing brilliantly and annoyingly.
