"So, it's you? A Soul Sage who wants to see me, oh, and a handsome young man too..." Purple Pearl said with her arms crossed and a smile on her face.
Looking at the woman with a fiery figure and heroic features, Tang San asked in surprise, "A woman?"
Purple Pearl raised her eyebrows. "What about a woman? Can't a woman be the boss? Speak, what do you want from me?"
"I got separated from my companions, and I hope you can mobilize your men to help me find them," Tang San replied.
"Finding people on the sea is not easy, so what can you offer? I won't do a losing business," Purple Pearl stared at Tang San.
Tang San smiled slightly. "What do you want? If possible, I hope we can reach a consensus peacefully. I accept a certain price, but don't think about asking for the moon."
Purple Pearl tapped her left arm with her right index finger, thought for a moment, and replied, "I've got it. Recently, one of my ships was intercepted. Help me deal with those people, and I'll help you search for your companions."
"The one who hijacked your ship is another force?"
"No, it's a group of guys who suddenly appeared. We won't let you act alone, we'll go too. I just need you to help me deal with the stronger ones among them, so that my subordinates don't suffer too many casualties."
Tang San pondered for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Purple Pearl showed a hearty smile on her face. "Then we'll set off tomorrow morning. Rest well in the village today, men, quickly bring out the strongest cellar-aged wine to entertain our distinguished guest!"
"Yes."
At night, in Purple Pearl's small building, she held a banquet for Tang San.
Various grilled fish, shells, and prawns were served on the table.
"Come and try this, this is the strongest wine brewed with the best fruits," Purple Pearl pushed a large glass filled with fruit wine in front of Tang San.
Tang San did not relax his vigilance, after all, he was in a pirate den.
He sniffed the wine, and then lightly touched it with his tongue, confirming that it was not poisonous, before drinking a sip with peace of mind.
The fruit wine was rich in fruity aroma, mellow in taste, and left a lingering aftertaste.
Seeing Tang San's cautious appearance, Purple Pearl smiled. "Don't be so nervous, I wouldn't do such a wasteful thing as poisoning such fine wine."
She put up her slender legs, leaned on the chair, tore off a crab leg at random, and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Tang San didn't take it seriously. He looked around, and his eyes suddenly froze on the potted plants behind Purple Pearl.
There were two plants blooming with dark red palm-shaped flowers, with slender but very straight stems.
He had seen records of this plant in the "Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record": Ghost Hand Flower, which has the effect of opening up the meridians and increasing power. However, it needs to be mixed with another very common herb, otherwise it will only cause one's power to leak out and the body to lose control.
"What are you staring at me for? I admit you're pretty handsome, but if you want something to happen with me, give up on that idea. I'm not interested in men," Purple Pearl said casually.
She looked at Tang San's face for a while, and sighed, "Alas, what a good face, it's a pity it's a man."
The corners of Tang San's mouth twitched, "I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at the two flowers behind you."
"Oh, you're talking about this, you can have it if you like it," Purple Pearl waved her hand casually, signaling two of her men to take it to Tang San.
"Then I won't be polite," Tang San cupped his hands. He was still thinking about what reason to find to get it from her, but he didn't expect Purple Pearl to be so generous.
After the banquet, Tang San came to the room Purple Pearl had arranged for him with a trace of drunkenness. He circulated his soul power, and his whole person suddenly became completely awake.
He took out some herbs from the "Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch", and cooperated with the "Ghost Hand Flower" he had just obtained, and began to prepare medicine.
Tang San mashed several herbs into powder, mixed them thoroughly, and kneaded them into pills the size of an index finger.
Then, he used a small stove to steam the pills until they emitted a refreshing fragrance.
Tang San looked at the brightly colored pills with satisfaction. After taking one, he began to cultivate his soul power.
He didn't sleep all night. Tang San replaced sleeping with meditation, keeping vigilant at all times. After all, this was Purple Pearl's territory, the pirates' lair, and he didn't dare to be careless.
Early the next morning, Purple Pearl kicked open his door. "Get up, get ready to go to sea."
Tang San's face showed a trace of displeasure at being interrupted from his cultivation. He changed his cross-legged sitting posture, got out of bed, and said coldly:
"Don't you know that Soul Masters are most taboo about being disturbed during cultivation?"
Purple Pearl looked at him dissatisfiedly. "Didn't I tell you yesterday that we would set off this morning? I made a special trip to call you, and you still have the nerve to complain?"
Tang San looked at the hazy, unlit sky, and felt that Purple Pearl's morning might be different from the morning he thought.
"I didn't ask clearly, and you didn't say clearly, so we're even."
Purple Pearl didn't continue to argue about this. She mustered her men and boarded the "Purple Pearl", preparing to set off.
She brought more than a hundred Soul Masters and two hundred non-Soul Master pirates to help.
As the flagship of the pirate group leader Purple Pearl, the "Purple Pearl" is definitely huge, several times larger than the "Oro Jackson" of the "Klein" that Tang San and the others rented before.
But the facilities inside are much worse, and the speed is far less than that of the "Oro Jackson".
After more than an hour of sailing, the lookout suddenly shouted, "Alert, Sea Soul Beasts ahead."
Tang San walked to the bow of the ship and gazed ahead. He saw a huge spider floating on the sea, blocking their way. Its eight spider legs were stepping on the water, as if stepping on the ground, not sinking. Its body appeared to be enormous, with a size of more than ten meters when its legs were spread out.
He recognized the type of this Soul Beast, a close relative of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, the Sea Demon Spider. According to the information he knew, in rare cases, the Man-Faced Demon Spider would form a partnership with the Sea Demon Spider.
Tang San suddenly remembered the two Man-Faced Demon Spiders that he had fallen from the sky and smashed to death, and guessed whether there was any connection between them.
"Everyone be alert," Purple Pearl issued an order, "All Soul Masters with long-range attack skills, go to the ship's side to attack."
Tang San was not in a hurry to attack. He wanted to see the methods of these pirates, and then he found that these pirates were unexpectedly… weak.
Facing the Sea Demon Spider, they only launched long-range attacks one by one. Although the sound and light effects looked pretty good, they did not cause any substantial damage to the opponent.
The Sea Demon Spider jumped high and suddenly jumped onto the deck of the "Purple Pearl".
It suddenly spewed out streams of water arrows, hitting the pirates and causing them to spurt blood.
Screams rang out.
Purple Pearl solemnly summoned her martial soul, and immediately performed martial soul possession.
Her body distorted slightly, and her whole person became soft, with blue-gray scales appearing at the corners of her eyes. Her martial soul was the Sea Viper, a sea snake carrying deadly venom.
Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, six soul rings with the best match appeared, which made Tang San slightly surprised.
Purple Pearl didn't look very old. Although she couldn't compare with their Shrek Seven Devils, she wasn't far from the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall. But such a genius would actually be a pirate at sea!
The sixth soul ring lit up, flashing with a black halo. A huge coiled phantom appeared behind Purple Pearl. This phantom protruded like lightning, and at the same time split into nine large snakes of more than ten meters, rushing towards the Sea Demon Spider.
The Sea Demon Spider's eye, with a white circle, showed a bit of disdain. The surface of its body glowed with a sea-blue light, forming a crystalline layer.
The snake phantom gnawed on the crystalline body, but failed to break this defense.
Purple Pearl's face changed.
After roughly figuring out the strength of the pirates, Tang San moved.
With a wave of his hand, a Blue Silver Prison instantly enveloped the Sea Demon Spider. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was restricted, he activated the instantaneous movement skill of the Soft Bone Rabbit's right arm bone and came to the opponent's back.
The Eight Spider Lances with dark black and blood-colored patterns stretched out, pierced through the clothes, and pierced through the Sea Demon Spider's body.
The terrifying devouring power was activated, and he quickly absorbed the Sea Demon Spider's vitality.
The Sea Demon Spider let out a painful hiss. It struggled desperately, but the poison carried on the Eight Spider Lances, which exceeded its limit of resistance, had already invaded its body, making its resistance more and more weak.
Soon after, it was sucked by Tang San until only a skin remained.
Seeing such domineering and evil methods, the pirates gasped and looked at Tang San with a bit more awe.
The Sea Demon Spider and the Man-Faced Demon Spider are close relatives, and their life origins are very similar. After devouring the Sea Demon Spider, the Eight Spider Lances once again gained some improvement.
Purple Pearl looked at Tang San and said with a bit of charm, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, we would probably have died more people. To show my gratitude, I'm yours tonight."
It's over, has the captain finally been taken by a man… A group of pirates who admired Purple Pearl glared at Tang San.
Noticing the pirates' hostility, Tang San refused with a wry smile, "No, I already have someone I like."
"Don't worry, you don't need to be responsible, just enjoy yourself," Purple Pearl said indifferently.
Tang San's face froze for a moment. His love for Xiao Wu made him insist on being a pure man, and he refused again.
"What, I'm giving myself to you for free and you don't want it? Are you disgusted with me?"
"No, no. I said, I have someone I like, and I will only love her."
"Damn it, what a softie," Purple Pearl said with a sullen face, cursing.
Our captain is so beautiful, how can you be so ignorant and refuse? A group of pirates who admired Purple Pearl glared at Tang San.
Tang San: "..."
Purple Pearl felt a little embarrassed at being rejected, and vented her anger on the other pirates: "What are you idiots still standing there for? Clean the deck, take the wounded down for treatment, we'll be in contact with those guys in a while, don't lose our momentum!"
Soon after, the lookout standing on the lookout tower discovered their hijacked ship and shouted down, "Boss, I see them, they're ahead."
"Maintain a uniform speed, pay attention to alert, we'll go meet those guys," a dignified look appeared on Purple Pearl's face.
Tang San saw a pirate ship slowly approaching in the distance, and there was also a small black dot in the sky, which was someone scouting.
The eyesight brought by the Purple Demon Eyes allowed him to see the appearance of the person in the sky clearly. It was his cousin, Bai Chenxiang.
Tang San was stunned for a moment, and then understood what was going on… The ones who hijacked Purple Pearl's pirate ship were none other than his separated companions, Dai Mubai and others.
