Chapter 263: Chapter 205: Curse Outbreak, Law Enforcers Confront Shang Jia

"Are you that idle?"

Chen Qing looked at Shang Jia, who stubbornly refused to leave in front of her, a flash of inexplicable irritation passing through her eyes.

At times like these, who would want to be the understanding big sister?

However, when Shang Jia went crazy, it truly was troublesome, and Chen Qing could only bear with it.

"Very idle."

Shang Jia thought about it and nodded seriously.

It was lucky for those outside that she wasn’t causing trouble, and with Xue Po and the others handling things on the ship, she really was quite idle.

To be precise, most pirates were quite idle.

Their daily work involved fighting, robbing, and killing, without any real business.

Just look at the recent Deep Blue conflict to know, even for top-tier pirates like Shang Jia’s group, major events concerning this sea domain were irrelevant to them.

Neither the red nor the blue forces had thought about drawing the pirates in; the pirates had never integrated with them, although Bounty Hunters were quite popular.

Of course, if the pirates wanted to get involved, they could change the pattern of the Deep Blue conflict.

The strength of these pirates was beyond doubt.

The profession of a pirate was highly popular, yet also deeply despised and excluded.

"Did you ever think that I might not be free?"

"What does that have to do with me?"

Shang Jia answered self-righteously.

"..."

Chen Qing was very supportive of Zhao Fuli’s opinion; Shang Jia might as well be dead.

"You’re definitely cursing me secretly."

"Yes."

"???"

Did she just candidly admit it?

"Did you really expect me to have a good attitude towards you?"

Chen Qing looked at Shang Jia coldly,

"Right."

Shang Jia sat cross-legged on the deck, suddenly saying.

"Let’s have a fight, Chen Qing."

?

Chen Qing suspected Shang Jia wanted to kill her, and she had evidence.

"Do you think I can beat you?"

Chen Qing glanced at Shang Jia, sat down on the deck, and asked.

Shang Jia didn’t actually want to fight Chen Qing, she just felt a bit frustrated and angry.

She sincerely thought she had been good enough to Zhao Fuli, but Zhao Fuli was not grateful at all.

Shang Jia failed to understand Zhao Fuli’s thoughts, so she could only ask Chen Qing, who came from the same place as Zhao Fuli.

Chen Qing was also the sea wanderer she was most familiar with, and although she didn’t want to admit it, Shang Jia felt she might not really understand Zhao Fuli.

"Well..."

"If you really like Zhao Fuli, then don’t force her to stay in your pirate group."

Chen Qing turned and looked squarely at Shang Jia and spoke bluntly.

"You are not of the same kind; she can’t change you, and you can’t change her."

"Forcing Zhao Fuli to stay in your pirate group, the events of today will definitely happen again."

Chen Qing was telling the truth; Zhao Fuli might seem gentle in demeanor, but she was tougher than anyone.

Moreover, compared to Chen Qing, who had been corrected later, Zhao Fuli was truly kind-hearted, everything she did came from her genuine self.

"..."

Shang Jia fell silent, not wanting to let go of Zhao Fuli at all.

Without Zhao Fuli, where would she find another chef with an extraordinary ability related to cooking?

The cold wind blew on their faces, standing on the deck’s high platform, leaning on the railing and looking up at the night sky.

The profound firmament was dotted with stars twinkling with a peaceful glow, these ancient and mysterious stars seemingly existing forever.

They witnessed everything that happened in this world, the rise and fall of tides, the interchange of sun and moon, the changes in civilization.

"What if I agreed to her choice to protect the mission?"

After a long contemplation, Shang Jia suddenly said.

"You’re not going to the Scarlet Sea Domain?"

Chen Qing said they were not the same type of people, not just in terms of killing or not killing, being kind-hearted or not.

What Zhao Fuli and the Demon Dragon Pirate Group sought was fundamentally different.

The Demon Dragon Pirate Group, like all pirates, pursued powerful strength, thrilling and exciting lives, unrestricted freedom.

For them, blood and death were constant companions.

But for Zhao Fuli, from the beginning, she aspired to a peaceful and stable life.

She wouldn’t want to go to the Scarlet Sea Domain.

Even if she did, it wouldn’t be as a pirate.

Upon hearing Chen Qing’s words, Shang Jia’s face fell, mysteriously producing a bottle of wine from somewhere.

"Drink some?"

"..."

Chen Qing didn’t respond.

She stared at that bottle, her throat suddenly feeling as if it had been scorched by fire, parched to the point of being unable to breathe.

A sudden surge of hunger spread, making her feel extremely empty and in pain, as if a beast was desperately tearing at her insides.

Hunger greedily devoured all of Chen Qing’s strength, driving her to snatch the bottle of wine.
