"Boss, this was found on his boat." Another lackey took out the bundle Little White had given Ye Xiaofeng before leaving.
"Bring it over. Open it."
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be so rich. You've got quite a few valuable treasures on you. To prevent them from being stolen, I'll keep them for you free of charge this time," the pirate captain said lewdly when he saw the pearls, jade, and other valuables in the bundle.
"I can keep those myself. There's no need to trouble you, Boss," Ye Xiaofeng said speechlessly as he looked at the pirate captain. Letting you keep them would be like feeding meat buns to a dog.
"Kid, what I, Old Jack, hate most are people who hem and haw," Captain Jack the pirate said.
"Captain Jack, why don't you take me in as well?" Ye Xiaofeng saw that the pirates had swindled him out of all his money. In any case, he had nowhere else to go.
"Damn it, are you the pirate, or am I the pirate? Throw him down," Old Jack said irritably.
The two pirate lackeys immediately dragged Ye Xiaofeng over and tossed him straight off the ship. With a splash, Ye Xiaofeng fell into the sea.
"Damn it, I told you to send him down, not throw him down!" Old Jack was utterly speechless at his two subordinates.
"Boss, this saves time. The brothers thought carrying him down would be troublesome and would waste time we could spend on the next target," the two men hurriedly made excuses for themselves.
Who knew what the boss was thinking? Last time, he had clearly said to send someone down, but after they did, the boss had cursed them out for ages and docked half a month's pay.
"Damn it, you make a good point. Let's find the next target. Set sail!" Old Jack had made a tidy profit from the robbery and was in high spirits, so he did not continue blaming his underlings and went on in search of the next victim.
Ye Xiaofeng did not die after falling into the sea. His little boat was far away, and he swam toward it, but his strength could not support him. In the end, he lost consciousness in the ocean.
Ye Xiaofeng drifted in the sea for an unknown length of time until one day, when the waves washed him onto a beach.
"Xue Wu, look! That seems to be a person over there," Shui Bing'er said when she spotted someone lying on the beach.
"Let's go take a look," Xue Wu said. When they approached, they saw a man with some sand on his face and sea-blue hair lying there unconscious.
"He's still breathing. Hurry and save him," Shui Bing'er said when she saw that Ye Xiaofeng was unconscious. He must have nearly drowned.
"Sister Bing'er, judging by his condition, he probably passed out from drowning. If we don't save him soon, he'll die," Xue Wu said with a sly grin.
"Then hurry up and treat him," Shui Bing'er said anxiously, failing to notice Xue Wu's wicked smile.
"To save him, someone needs to give him mouth-to-mouth. I'm not doing that. If you want to save him, do it yourself." Xue Wu turned her head aside as she spoke.
"Then you all..." Shui Bing'er looked at the other sisters, but like Xue Wu, they had all turned away with innocent expressions.
There was no helping it. Shui Bing'er had been the one to find him, so she had no choice but to sacrifice her first kiss.
Shui Bing'er lowered her head and gave Ye Xiaofeng mouth-to-mouth. The other sisters watched her in astonishment. They had not expected her to sacrifice her chastity just to save a strange man.
It was Shui Bing'er's first time saving someone, and she was rather inexperienced, but she still tried her best. She began chest compressions as well, and seawater continuously poured out of Ye Xiaofeng's mouth.
"Sister, hurry up. There's hope now," Shui Yue'er fanned the flames, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Just as Shui Bing'er gave him mouth-to-mouth again and their lips touched, Ye Xiaofeng opened his eyes. He could still feel the warmth from before and licked his lips.
Seeing this, Shui Bing'er's face instantly burned. She wished she could crawl into a hole in the ground.
"Hey, kid, where are you from? What's your name? Why were you unconscious by the sea?" Xue Wu fired off a string of questions the moment Ye Xiaofeng woke up.
"Xue Wu, can't you ask one question at a time?" Shui Bing'er said unhappily.
"Sister, could it be that you've taken a liking to this pretty boy, so that's why you saved him?" Shui Yue'er said mischievously, making all the sisters laugh.
"If you don't speak, no one will mistake you for a mute," Shui Bing'er said in embarrassment and anger.
"By the way, why were you unconscious by the sea?" Shui Bing'er asked Ye Xiaofeng.
Just as Ye Xiaofeng was about to answer, a mechanical female voice sounded in his mind.
"Congratulations, Ye Xiaofeng. You have successfully bound the Heavenly Mystery System. Welcome to Douluo Continent."
"Damn scam system! What kind of trash system takes five whole years to let me awaken my martial soul?" For the past five years, because he had been unable to awaken his martial soul, the people of Sea God Island had mocked him relentlessly. In the end, he had been exiled.
"Host: Ye Xiaofeng. Male. Eleven years old. Awakened martial soul: Jade Swan. Innate Full Soul Power: level 30. Due to a system malfunction, the male protagonist was unable to awaken his martial soul for five years. You are therefore granted a second martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword, with equivalent Soul Power. Your appearance will rewrite part of Douluo Continent's history. From now on, you are my master. You may call me Xiao Bing," the Heavenly Mystery System said.
Holy crap, the protagonist's era has finally arrived. From now on, I'll slaughter my way in every direction, surrounded by beauties. Ye Xiaofeng could not help becoming excited.
"I've finally awakened my martial soul! Hahahaha! I've finally awakened it! No one can mock me anymore!" Ye Xiaofeng cried excitedly as he suddenly hugged Shui Bing'er beside him.
"Hey, kid! My sister kindly saved you, and you dare take advantage of her?" Shui Yue'er looked at Ye Xiaofeng speechlessly.
"This kid grins foolishly one moment and gets so excited he can't speak the next. Is there something wrong with his head?" Xue Wu and the others whispered among themselves.
"Are you all right?" After hearing them, Shui Bing'er also began to suspect that something might be wrong with Ye Xiaofeng's head.
"Uh, sorry, sorry. I was too excited just now and couldn't hold myself back," Ye Xiaofeng hurriedly apologized to Shui Bing'er.
"My name is Ye Xiaofeng. I left home and ran into Pirates at sea. After they looted everything valuable from me, they threw me into the ocean. You know what happened after that." Ye Xiaofeng gave a rough account of what had happened, but did not mention Sea God Island.
"So that's what happened. Hello, I'm Shui Bing'er. This is my younger sister, Shui Yue'er. These are Xue Wu, Hai Rou, Shen Liuyu, Gu Qingbo, and Qiu Ruoshui," Shui Bing'er introduced everyone to Ye Xiaofeng one by one.
"Thank you for saving me."
"Kid, if you want to thank someone, you should thank Sister Bing'er. To save you, she even lost her first kiss," Xue Wu said, bringing up the very thing that should not have been mentioned.
"Xue Wu, if you keep running your mouth, don't come out with us next time," Shui Bing'er said angrily and embarrassedly, instantly shutting Xue Wu up.
"I was a little excited when I awakened my martial soul just now, so I lost control for a moment. I will certainly repay Miss Bing'er for saving my life," Ye Xiaofeng said with a serious expression.
"Isn't awakening a martial soul perfectly normal?" Shui Bing'er asked doubtfully.
"I have Twin Martial Souls!" Ye Xiaofeng said excitedly again. He raised both hands and slowly opened them. A sword appeared in one palm, while a Jade Swan appeared in the other.
Before anyone could recover from their shock, Ye Xiaofeng revealed his spirit rings. Three white rings appeared around the Jade Swan martial soul, leaving Ye Xiaofeng unable to believe it. The Seven Kill Sword had three white spirit rings as well.
"Hmph. I thought you were impressive, but you turned yourself into trash," Xue Wu said disdainfully.
"Don't you know that white Ten-Year Spirit Rings are the lowest quality? And you used Ten-Year Spirit Rings on both martial souls." Shui Bing'er also found it regrettable. Twin Martial Souls belonged to a genius found only once in ten thousand, yet he had been ruined by his spirit rings.
"Heavenly Mystery System, damn you! Xiao Bing, get out here!" Ye Xiaofeng completely collapsed. He had finally awakened his martial souls, and the protagonist's era was about to begin, but now the system had screwed him over again.
Ye Xiaofeng cursed for a long time, but the system did not react at all, as though it had never existed.
"There's nothing I can do," Ye Xiaofeng said helplessly. What choice did he have? It was all that damned system's fault. It had delayed his awakening by five years, and now it had added white Ten-Year Spirit Rings. It was a complete scam.
"If you have nowhere to go, you can follow us for now," Shui Bing'er said. She thought Ye Xiaofeng was alone and helpless, which was why he had no choice but to obtain Ten-Year Spirit Rings.
"Sis, our academy doesn't accept men," Shui Yue'er said softly.
"I know. I'll think of something," Shui Bing'er said. She knew Skywater Academy did not accept men, but seeing Ye Xiaofeng's situation, she could not help feeling sympathy for him.
"Follow us for now," Shui Bing'er said, still not refusing Ye Xiaofeng.
"Thank you. Um, do you have anything to eat?" Ye Xiaofeng had drifted at sea for a whole year. Now that he was awake, he was starving.
"Then we'll take you to get something to eat first," Shui Bing'er said gently.
"Yue'er, do you think your sister has fallen for that slow-witted guy?" Xue Wu whispered.
"Who knows? Maybe something got into her head today," Shui Yue'er whispered back. She might be infatuated with handsome men, but this guy was a hundred thousand miles away from being handsome. The difference was not even close.
Ye Xiaofeng followed Shui Bing'er and the others to an inn. When Shui Bing'er and her group entered, every diner in the establishment was stunned, practically drooling.
But when they saw Ye Xiaofeng dressed in filthy clothes walking among them, it was like a flower stuck in a pile of cow dung.
The people in the inn began whispering among themselves.
"Look at that idiot, surrounded by a group of beauties. What a waste of good cabbages on a pig."
"Exactly. I'm still single, damn it. Heaven really is blind," a middle-aged man said unwillingly.
"Boss, bring out all the good chicken, duck, fish, and meat you have. One serving of everything!" Ye Xiaofeng's eyes practically sparkled with hunger as he ran to a large round table and shouted.
"Kid, you really aren't being polite at all. My sister saved you. Are you planning to offer yourself to her in return?" Xue Wu teased.
"Uh, what if I offered myself to Miss Xue Wu instead? What do you think?" Ye Xiaofeng did not answer her question and instead threw a difficult one back at her.
"Get lost! Who wants you, you little brat? I'd have to be blind." Xue Wu was left speechless by Ye Xiaofeng's words. She stamped her foot angrily, making all the sisters burst into laughter.
