In the temporary residence of Fish-Man District, Ye Qiong and others. WwW COM
On the large round dining table, more than a dozen different dishes were placed. The heat was rising, and the rich aroma of the dishes filled the whole house. The appearance and color of the dishes made Ye Qiong move his index finger.
What I feel in my heart is that I can finally stop eating the dark dishes provided by White Snow.
White Snow, who was sitting next to her, was silent. She also knew that her cooking skills were not good. After all, she didn't have to do this kind of thing before. Even though she has been learning now, she couldn't make progress so quickly. Especially since Fish-Man Island's food materials were not the type she was good at handling, it was helpless to be regarded as black cuisine.
Therefore, when Boa Sisters claimed that he came over to cook in order to repay his kindness, White Snow did not resist. He just looked at the sumptuous lunch in front of him, which was obviously several times better than what she had cooked. White Snow looked at Boa Sisters who was still serving dishes, and ripples of other colors gradually appeared in his monotonous and cold silver eyes.
Especially the beautiful girl named Hancock, who shyly peeked at her collar from time to time while the food was being served, which made White Snow feel uncomfortable in her heart. This may be an expression of her inner sexuality as a woman.
"Well, where's that guy Crow King?" Ye Qiong looked around and couldn't help but wonder. Crow King, who usually gets excited about meals as if he's getting blood, is not here. This is the first time.
"Going to collect information about Fish-Man Island." White Snow said simply and clearly.
"Oh." Ye Qiong nodded thoughtfully. Looking at White Snow who lowered his head and seemed to be in a bad mood, he couldn't help but feel funny. How could Crow King be so diligent? They were probably frightened by White Snow's dark cuisine, so they went out to eat on the pretext of gathering intelligence.
After the meals were served one by one and placed on the table, Boa Sisters stood respectfully by the table, which made Ye Qiong, who was about to start, raised his eyebrows in discomfort.
"Why don't you three sit down?" Ye Qiong asked in confusion.
Boa Sisters looked at each other with troubled expressions on their faces. Hancock's eyes dimmed and he explained, "We are all slaves, how dare we sit at the same table with Master Ye Qiong..."
"Okay." Ye Qiong waved his hand, interrupted her words, and said directly, "It doesn't matter whether you are a slave or not, you are free, and you will no longer be the same status as before."
"If you still stay in the shadow of the past, how can you walk out of your own life? Then my rescue of you will become meaningless."
"Although I risked my life to save you, I did it willingly. I don't want to see the people I rescued with my own hands still languishing in such a cage. You living a good and wonderful life for me is the best reward for me."
"So..." Ye Qiong looked at them seriously and waved for them to take their seats.
Boa Sisters looked at each other, and finally Hancock's eyes were filled with sparkle, and he nodded and took his two sisters to their seats.
"Isn't that right?" Ye Qiong grinned, picked up the spoon and said, "It's more lively when there are more people, and it feels more relaxed and comfortable when eating."
After seeing Ye Qiong and White Snow starting up, the three sisters carefully began to ladle hot soup. When the warm soup slid into their throats, a real sense of warmth flowed and filled their stomachs, and they could no longer hold back the hot tears in their eyes and dripped them into the bowls.
The humiliation and humiliation I suffered as a slave for several years seemed to well up from my heart, turning into drops of clear tears and falling into the steaming soup.
The crying was silent, and only the exaggerated eating sounds of Ye Qiong could be heard clearly on the dinner table, gurgling.
Boa Sisters all suppressed the sounds of crying and choking, and buried their heads in picking up bowls to cover up their tears.
White Snow glanced at them suspiciously, wanting something, but Ye Qiong patted her shoulder lightly and continued to eat as if nothing happened.
After finishing the food on the table, Boa Sisters had changed their expressions of sadness and crying and started to clean up the dishes diligently. Their thoughts were simply displayed on their faces, their expressions were joyful and joyful, as if they had finally opened their minds.
Boom, boom, boom.
There was a knocking sound on the wooden door, and then the door was opened. A thin Fish-Man subordinate stood at the door. After seeing Ye Qiong, he lowered his head and said respectfully, "Master Ye Qiong, Brother Tiger asked you to come over and talk about something."
"Oh?" Ye Qiong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, "I'll go there."
"Come on." White Snow called out. She put down the dishes and chopsticks in a hurry and walked out. Ye Qiong shook her head at her, indicating that she didn't need to follow her.
Of course Ye Qiong knows White Snow's concern, but he believes in Tiger's character, and now that his physical condition has fully recovered, there are really not many things Fish-Man Island can threaten his existence.
Following Fish-Man's men through some streets of Fish-Man District, many Fish-Man passing by also set their sights on Ye Qiong, but it was different from the usual eyes that were always hostile to human beings. They showed respect and kindness.
A few years ago, Fish-Man District's former leader Tiger's eldest brother became Ye Qiong's friend who helped liberate the slaves and had life-saving benefits for him. Although this did not make Ye Qiong, like Tiger, has become a hero in the eyes of Fish-Man District people, but it is also enough to eliminate the hostility towards Ye Qiong's human identity in their eyes and win love and favor.
Not paying attention to Fish-Man, who was looking at him carefully along the way, Ye Qiong squinted his eyes, and his narrow gaze extended beyond the end of the sky, to the deep sea outside the bubble barrier. I don't know whether it was because of the depression under the seabed ten thousand meters or the negative effect of becoming a landlubber after swallowing Devil Fruit. He always felt an indescribable feeling of discomfort.
Ye Qiong couldn't help but lower his head and look at the hard stone bricks with shells on the ground. Fish-Man Island After all, it was not a place he wanted to stay permanently. He was wondering when to find a suitable time to leave.
Unknowingly, Fish-Man's men led him into a dark alley. A sense of hostile peeping that was different from other Fish-Man made Ye Qiong, who was deep in thought, slightly raise his head.
"Are you Ye Qiong?" A hoarse voice sounded from the shadows of the alley.
Ye Qiong looked sideways, and the malicious figure also came out, and he saw a muscular Shark-Man. His thick skin was blue, and his nose was sharp and jagged, making his face look even more ferocious and terrifying.
The ferocious gaze of Shark-Man fell coldly on Ye Qiong, looking up and down carefully, as if he wanted to see something in this human boy wearing a white robe that would make Brother Tiger admire him.
Unfortunately not.
Ye Qiong is no different from other human teenagers. At most, his body under the white robe is a bit strong, and his black pupils are calm and deep, with a somewhat translucent brilliance.
"I'm asking you a question!" Shark-Man said coldly, arrogantly advancing towards Ye Qiong step by step. His huge and ferocious body two meters away directly covered Ye Qiong's vision and blocked the way.
Ye Qiong still didn't say anything, didn't even look at him, didn't even raise his eyelids, and seemed too lazy to pay attention.
Such indifference undoubtedly made Shark-Man, who already had a bad temper, become furious.
"Arlong, this is Lord Ye Qiong. Brother Tiger asked him..." Fish-Man's subordinate standing nearby looked at Arlong in fear and spoke for Ye Qiong.
"Did I ask you to speak out!" Shark-Man growled. Fish-Man's subordinates obviously knew how cruel Arlong was, and they remained silent and did not dare to say another word.
Arlong's ferocious eyes looked down at Ye Qiong, who still had no expression at all.
Then he raised his thick arm, and under the horrified eyes of Fish-Man's subordinates, he swung the ball over Ye Qiong's head!
Fish-Man's strength is ten times that of ordinary humans! This is a very powerful racial gift. Arlong, who has practiced certain physical skills, can wield his arms extremely powerfully!
At this time, Arlong took action with anger in his eyes. His thick arm was swung with a hunting force, with a force of thousands of jun. Seeing that it was inevitable, Ye Qiong's figure flashed, and his palm passed through the afterimage and fell into the air.
The alley became quiet for a while.
Arlong maintained the posture of waving his arms and slapping like a sculpture. He looked at the empty land in front of him, filled with disbelief and shock. Cold sweat broke out unnaturally on his forehead and fell down his face.
Having passed Arlong, Ye Qiong, who appeared behind him, waved to the dull-looking subordinate of Fish-Man next to him and said calmly, "Let's go."
"Okay... ok."
Fish-Man's men glanced at Arlong behind Ye Qiong in panic, and hurriedly led the way, wanting to leave here as soon as possible.
Ye Qiong had not taken a few steps when Arlong behind him roared, turned around suddenly, and charged towards him fiercely.
