Chapter 407: Chapter 216: Yan Mo Replies! Tragically Gorgeous Celery Spoon (2nd Update)

Seeing that the Rock Pirate had no reaction, Suo Ningbing once again pleaded, "Brother, come home with me, come back and see our younger brother Suo Lun."

When the Rock Pirate heard the name Suo Lun again, he suddenly asked, "Does he really look a lot like me?"

Suo Ningbing replied, "He really does, and you will definitely like him once you see him."

The Rock Pirate said, "What about your father? Why do you keep mentioning your brother and not your father?"

Suo Ningbing said, "Father, he has passed away, it happened last year. Now Suo Lun is a lord of the Rage Wave Kingdom, the master of Tianshui City."

Hearing that his own biological father was dead, the Rock Pirate of course had no reaction and appeared very indifferent.

First of all, he had never met this so-called biological father.

Secondly, the Yan Tribe holds life and death in low regard, believing death to be just another form of return. Therefore, every time they go into battle, the Yan people rush forward, fearless of death. So, after thousands of years, who knows how many human races have disappeared or been assimilated, but the Yan people still exist and are even feared by the entire Human Kingdom.

Of course, this also has another consequence, that is, there are always fewer men than women in the Yan Tribe, resulting in the Yan women having a tradition of seeking mates within the Human Kingdom.

The Rock Pirate then asked, "Why do you want me to see Suo Lun?"

Suo Ningbing instinctively wanted to say she wanted him to help Suo Lun.

But as the words reached her lips, she hastily swallowed them back, because the half-brother in front of her was full of arrogance and would certainly not want to hear such things. So, she said, "Now in the Suo Family, there are only me and Suo Lun left. Now that we have another brother, we are very happy and want to have a family reunion."

The Rock Pirate closed his eyes and pondered for a while.

Opening his eyes, he looked at Suo Ningbing and said, "We Yan Tribe pirates never return empty-handed from a raid, so these Gold Coins and all this salt that we’ve robbed, don’t expect me to give them back to you."

Suo Ningbing replied, "Consider these things as gifts from Suo Lun and me to our brother."

"Not needed," the Rock Pirate said. "I robbed them, so these treasures belong to me. Whatever the Yan Tribe needs, we seize it ourselves, not from others’ offerings. Even you belong to me."

Suo Ningbing did not answer, just looked at him.

The Rock Pirate continued, "I’m showing mercy now, we’re only robbing goods, not taking pleasure or lives. Go back, take your people and return."

Suo Ningbing was startled and said, "Brother, won’t you come home with me to see Suo Lun?"

The Rock Pirate sneered, "Joking, right? We Yan people never set foot on the mainland, or the Sea God would curse us."

"But... but..." Suo Ningbing said, anxiously.

"There are no buts," the Rock Pirate said. "If you keep on nagging, none of you will leave."

Then, following his orders, two female pirates came and took Suo Ningbing back to her ship.

Afterward, countless Yan Tribe pirates started to board the Suo Family Naval Forces’ ships to carry away the silver coins, Gold Coins, and a large amount of salt.

Because of Suo Ningbing’s orders, the Suo Family Naval Forces offered no resistance, allowing the Yan Tribe pirates to rob everything from the ships.

Having robbed all the treasures, the Rock Pirate gave an order, and the countless pirate ships scattered like wolves, disappearing into the vast sea to the east.

Suo Ningbing felt extremely anxious in her heart, wanting to keep this half-brother with her.

She felt useless, unable to keep him. But she thought that Suo Lun, being so intelligent, would surely be able to make him stay.

And just then, she heard the Rock Pirate’s voice: "I will be the king of the Rock Pirates in the future, and it’s a joke to think that I would personally go to meet a mere human lord. If he wants to see me, that Suo Lun should come to Rock Island."

Having said that, the Yan Tribe pirate fleet quickly vanished into the distance.

Suo Ningbing noticed that the ships of the Yan Tribe pirates, although not very large, were very sturdy and incredibly fast.

However, they appeared to toss about in the waves as if they were about to capsize at any moment.

But the Yan people on the ships stood as if on solid ground.

They were truly born pirates and the most elite and powerful naval forces in the world.

...

At that moment, inside Yuhua Pavilion of Zhi Du Royal City, Gui Qinshu was experiencing the most unbearable moment of her life.

All the dragon force in her veins had been restrained, turning her into a weak and helpless woman.

Her hands were tied, and she was left hanging in the air, having to strain hard just to touch the ground with the tips of her toes.

Instantly, she entered into an extremely painful state.

Being bound with ropes around her delicate arms was painful enough, but if she hung by her entire body, her hands could not bear the weight.

Yet, to stand on the ground demanded great effort in tiptoeing, which would be painful for anyone.

However, since Gui Qinshu had trained in the Calamity Nine Swords, she could barely hold on. But after just a quarter of an hour, she was trembling all over and drenched in sweat.

At this moment, her heart was filled with extreme regret.

Why did she come here, knowing full well she would be tormented by Suo Lun, yet she still came?

Of course, there was another reason; if it had been Suo Lun alone, it might have been bearable. But the presence of Turing Duo made it worse.

Two equally beautiful and proud women are bound to be enemies.

So, in the eyes of Gui Qinshu, Turing Duo had no place.

And now, tortured together by Suo Lun and Turing Duo, she displayed her most unbearable side completely before Turing Duo. How could she face anyone after this?

She felt a hatred so intense that she wanted to vomit blood, to kill.

But her whole body was bound, leaving her unable to shout for help, let alone commit murder.

...

Crouching before Gui Qinshao, Suo Lun said, "Turing Duo, what do you suggest we tattoo on her lower abdomen?"

"Just inscribe the Suo character, then she’ll never be able to escape you," Turing Duo suggested.

Unable to see, but able to hear, Gui Qinshao was desperate to scream, to protest.

If she were to consummate her marriage with Ling Ao and he saw the Suo character tattooed on her lower abdomen, Ling Ao would surely go mad and call off the wedding.

But she was powerless to stop it.

For a full quarter of an hour, enduring pain and itching, Gui Qinshao, despite her training in the Calamity Nine Swords, could hardly bear it any longer. Her delicate body shivered, drenched in sweat, as if she were about to be soaked through.

The sweat seeping into the tattoo wound made the pain even more unbearable.

Finally, the tattoo was complete!

Gui Qinshao couldn’t see it because her chest obscured it.

Suddenly, Turing Duo said in a ghostly voice, "Suo Lun, you really do play favorites."

Hearing this, Gui Qinshao was taken aback.

Turing Duo said, "The tattoo you gave me features such a terrifying image, yet the one on her is so... beautiful!"

Hearing this, Gui Qinshao was again startled.

At that moment, Suo Lun took a crystal mirror and placed it before Gui Qinshao.

Instantly, she saw the tattoo on her lower abdomen and was briefly stunned, her beautiful eyes revealing an astonished gleam.

Because the tattoo was truly gorgeous.

Though it was still seemingly a Suo character, it was an artistic version of it.

The entire tattoo was a rose.

Blood-red petals, dark green leaves, ink-green stems.

Alluring and seemingly dripping with blood.

This rose, tattooed onto her snow-white abdomen, was stunning.

Even Gui Qinshao felt that the tattoo made her more attractive, like the finishing touch to a dragon painting.

Of course, this tattoo could only be seen when one’s clothes were removed, visible only to the most intimate lover.

But...

Though it was a rose, it was also a Suo character.

Almost anybody could recognize at first glance that the flower formed an artistically beautiful Suo character.

Gui Qinshao had always considered herself a flower, a never-fading, alluring rose.

And this rose tattoo that Suo Lun inscribed was a symbol of her, Gui Qinshao.

Yet, it also formed a Suo character, reflecting the intermingling of their beings.

Thirteen years ago, the tattoo he gave to Turing Duo was a twisted, unseemly ’Suo Lun was here’ scrawl.

So, when Turing Duo said, "You really do play favorites," it’s no surprise.

This made Gui Qinshao feel an almost perverse sweetness.

Suo Lun, even in his cruelty, favored me more.

"Gui Qinshao, you once exchanged wedding vows with me, so forget the thought of another man in this lifetime. Even if I cast you aside, you remain a woman of the Suo Family," Suo Lun said viciously.

This statement made Turing Duo feel inexplicably uncomfortable; subsequently, her interest in tormenting Gui Qinshao waned.

"You continue. I don’t want to be a part of this anymore, but don’t worry, I won’t ruin your fun," said Turing Duo coldly, then took a jar of wine to the balcony and began to drink sorrowfully on the railing.

In the distant pavilion, Turing Chen and others were seated, but it seemed that Turing Duo really had no intention of snitching.

To put it in one sentence, at the moment one’s destiny is decided, the heart dies a greater death.

At this moment, Suo Lun exhibited a terrifying smile, took out a bundle of special ropes, a whip, Luminous Pearls, and a heap of other things.

Rolling up his sleeves, he proclaimed, "Gui Qinshao, what we’ve had so far was just an appetizer. Now for the main course. What comes next is a fate worse than death."

At those words, Gui Qinshao’s delicate body trembled violently, abruptly recoiling.
