"Submarine!"
Looking at the huge object that suddenly rose from the sea, and then at Zhou Xueyi and the others emerging from it, Wang Hao felt a little dazed.
The massive object rising from the sea resembles a ship, complete with decks and cabins, but in a fully enclosed manner, allowing it to disappear beneath the surface.
This is a rather strange ship. Although it has sails, there are two huge wheels on each side. Its hull is entirely Red Gold, which is dazzling under the sunlight.
" Red Gold, no wonder!"
Squinting at the Red Gold covering the ship's exterior, Wang Hao roughly guessed what it was all about.
It must have been that young Zhu Yuanwai who used the batch of Red Gold he had made to cover it. Given the properties of Red Gold, it should be able to maintain its airtightness, so it shouldn't be a big problem for it to sink to the bottom of the sea in such a short time.
It could be considered a rudimentary version of a submarine!
With this massive device capable of diving deep into the sea, it's no wonder Zhou Xueyi and her companions were able to escape the Confucian School ' encirclement.
"Master, isn't my cooking quite good?"
Emerging from the cabin and standing on the deck, Zhu Yuanwai patted the edge of the boat, his expression one of pride and satisfaction, clearly very pleased with his work.
"That's really creative!"
Wang Hao nodded in approval. Although the submarine was still very rudimentary, it represented a revolutionary advancement, with a value many times greater than that of ordinary seagoing vessels.
After speaking with Zhou Xueyi, Wang Hao ordered all the girls on the Red Gold Ship to be transferred to their ship.
Although the Red Gold Ship was quite large, in order to successfully submerge underwater, that young Zhu Yuanwai had made several extra-large water bladders out of Red Gold and placed them in the cabin. To dive, one only needed to let seawater flood into the bladders, increasing the ship's weight.
To make it work, you just need to dive up and push the water out of the large water bladder.
The idea was good, but it greatly sacrificed the space inside the cabin, so Zhou Xueyi and the other women had been crammed together for a while. Now that she was here, she naturally wouldn't let the girls continue to suffer.
Why are there so many people?
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow as he looked at the thousands of girls emerging from the Red Gold ship. He remembered that there were fewer than five hundred girls before he left Peach Blossom Island, so how come the number had more than doubled?
Fortunately, because a batch of supplies needed to be transported to Qing'er, who was in Treasure Island of Ryukyu, more than a dozen large seagoing vessels were prepared, all of which were under the names of Fuwei Escort Agency and Grace and Righteousness Trading Company.
This will allow these girls to get some exercise.
"After you left, we started to fight the Japanese pirates by boat. The extra people were all good women who had been kidnapped by the Japanese pirates, and there were also orphans caused by the Japanese pirates' raids on the coast, burning, killing and looting. We took them in."
What you see is only a small part; many more people have been relocated to an island to survive.
Zhou Xueyi began to explain, her words filled with obvious hatred—hatred for those Japanese pirates!
"Don't worry, in a few years I will lead you to conquer the Japanese Islands and completely eradicate the source of the Japanese pirates."
Wang Hao's tone also carried a strong sense of resentment, and his murderous intent towards the scourge of the Japanese pirates intensified.
So many orphans have been created in such a short time, and Zhou Xueyi and others have limited capabilities, only able to help a small area. One can imagine that the number of people suffering harm in the coastal areas of Huaxia is probably ten or a hundred times greater.
How can one not be indignant at such a heinous and monstrous act?
I believe you!
Zhou Xueyi looked solemnly at Wang Hao in front of her, without the slightest doubt about his promise.
She believed this man would definitely do it!
Wang Hao chatted with Zhou Xueyi and the other women in the cabin, asking them about their experiences after he left, while the fleet continued its rapid voyage.
In order to avoid being discovered by Confucian School, the fleet led by Wu Tai did not stop on the north coast of Treasure Island of Ryukyu, but instead made a large detour to a bay on the south coast to anchor.
The bay here has been simply renovated and has become a decent port, which was naturally done by Qing'er and her people.
When Qing'er learned that Wang Hao was at odds with Confucian School, she did her best to make arrangements, and this hidden port was one of them.
Although the Treasure Island of Ryukyu had not yet been extensively developed by Huaxia during this era, a considerable number of Huaxia people already lived on the northern coast, and some merchant ships traveled between the islands. It was hard to guarantee that there were no Confucian School spies among them.
So it's best to be cautious!
As soon as they jumped off the ship, a group of people emerged from the depths of the bay. Leading them was a woman with her face veiled, who was none other than Wang Hao's sworn sister Qing'er.
"Sworn brother?"
Qing'er was walking at the front, was stunned for a moment when she saw the tall figure that was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar. Then she excitedly walked over quickly.
"It seems you've had a good two years, Qing'er!"
Wang Hao glanced at the group of young men and women following behind Qing'er and smiled with satisfaction.
"I'm so glad you got here safely, my sworn brother!"
Once she confirmed that this was indeed her sworn brother, Wang Hao, Qing'er felt a sense of relief.
For over a year, she had been worried about Wang Hao every day, after all, he had offended the entire Confucian School faction.
Although Qing'er didn't have a deep understanding of the power of Confucian School, even the small part that it showed made her very uneasy, and she was very worried that Wang Hao would fall on the Central Plains.
Fortunately, my sworn brother finally escaped!
"Huh? What happened? You didn't marry Wu Tai? Did that kid look down on you?"
Suddenly, Wang Hao frowned, looking very dissatisfied, and even his face turned cold.
The True Spirit Sword Intent granted him extremely strong perception, especially after he cultivated Divine Sense, this perception increased several times over. Just now, he sensed that the aura within his sworn sister Qing'er was pure, indicating that she had not yet consummated her marriage with Wu Tai.
Only then did he suddenly realize that Wu Tai's aura was also quite pure. He hadn't thought about it before, but now that he thought about it carefully, that guy had obviously also maintained his virginity.
This is not right!
"Hey! You're not saying you're disgusted by my sister, are you?"
Wang Hao grabbed Wu Tai, who was following behind him, and pulled him over with a very unfriendly expression.
Since he had taken Qing'er as his sworn sister, he would truly treat her as a sister. Now that two years had passed and his sister was still a young woman, he was naturally extremely unhappy.
You have to understand that Qing'er is not young anymore. In this era, girls her age would already have children who can run errands, while his sworn sister is still a young woman. How could he not be furious?
"Brother-in-law, how could I dare!"
Wu Tai, being dragged along, wore a mournful expression, looking quite aggrieved.
Although Wu Tai was over seven feet tall and could be considered a burly man, he was no different from a child in front of Wang Hao, who was ten feet tall and possessed the strength of 500,000 jin. He had no power to resist at all.
"Brother, please calm down. This isn't Brother Tai's fault. It was Qing'er's own unwillingness. I wanted to present him with the most perfect version of myself, not this flawed and ugly one."
Qing'er quickly stepped forward to stop Wang Hao from slapping Wu Tai and began to explain.
"Oh, I see! Then you two should prepare for your wedding night. I'll heal the scars on your face in a little while."
Nodding in realization, Wang Hao put down Wu Tai, whom he was carrying, and said magnanimously.
Initially, he wasn't very confident about the injuries on Qing'er's face, and his main approach was to seek out Ping Yizhi, the number one doctor in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer series, but that's no longer necessary.
Having inherited the internal medical skills of the Eastern Heretic, he was confident that he was no weaker than Ping Yizhi. In addition, with the Thousand Faces Divine Technique's control over his bones and muscles, as well as the power of his Innate Qi, restoring the scar on Qing'er's face would be no problem.
"Brother, do you have a plan?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tai, who had regained his footing, was overjoyed and appeared very excited.
He's been feeling really stifled for the past two years!
He was already at the age of youthful vigor, and after practicing the secret technique given to him by Wang Hao to accelerate food digestion, he was even more restless. Seeing that he couldn't use his childhood sweetheart wife, the frustration was indescribable.
But now it's all good; I can finally break free of this shameful virginity.
Qing'er, on the other side, also looked delighted, as she had been quite anxious herself.
"Hmph! Qing'er's problem isn't too serious; it can be resolved in an Tokiomi. But your problem is much bigger."
Wang Hao glanced sideways at his brother-in-law Wu Tai, snorted coldly, his expression still very unfriendly, clearly quite dissatisfied with Wu Tai.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhennan and the others who followed them off the ship all looked at Wu Tai with strange eyes, and Lin Zhennan himself even cast a pitying glance at him.
"Brother-in-law, I'm in great health; I can get an erection every morning!"
Noticing the strange looks from Lin Zhennan and the others, Wu Tai's face flushed red; he truly could not accept this slander.
"Who said it was your problem? I was talking about your cultivation level. We were both at the Peak Third-Rate back then, and I've reached the Grandmaster Realm now. How come you're only at the Peak Second-rate? How can I entrust Qing'er to you with such weakness?"
With a glare, Wang Hao began to berate his incompetent brother-in-law Wu Tai, with a mixture of disappointment and frustration.
When they first met in Chaoyang City, this guy's external martial arts skills had already reached the Peak Third-Rate. After receiving the secret method he taught to accelerate food digestion, his cultivation speed should have skyrocketed.
How come, more than two years have passed, and I have become Grandmaster of the Acquired, while this guy is still just a Second-rate- rate nobody?
My cultivation progress is just too slow!
"Brother, you can't blame Brother Tai. His family's tradition has been largely severed, and the Exploding Flame Art he's practicing now is only Second-rate martial art. He's basically reached his limit."
Qing'er couldn't stand it anymore and quickly spoke up to defend Wu Tai.
"What do you mean 'reached the top'? Cultivating Second-rate martial arts to the First-Rate level is no problem at all. It must be that this kid's mind wasn't pure during cultivation, and he didn't maximize his cultivation efficiency. Otherwise, with the secret techniques I taught him, breaking through to the First-Rate level in the past two years wouldn't have been a problem at all."
She rolled her eyes in annoyance, then her expression shifted, and she glared fiercely at Wu Tai, saying coldly, "Go to the cabin and find a blood ginseng to brew into a medicinal soup. Once I've healed Qing'er's facial injuries, I'll help you break through to the next level."
Since his brother-in-law wasn't working hard enough, he, as the elder brother-in-law, had no choice but to urge him on.
"I... yes, I'll go right away!"
Wu Tai wanted to say something, but seeing the coldness on Wang Hao's face, he quickly changed his tone, nodded in agreement, and slunk back to the cabin to select medicinal herbs.
They brought a lot of supplies with them, among which medicinal herbs were the most important, for everyone to use in their cultivation.
Those behind, including Lin Zhennan, couldn't help but shudder at the sight. Although Wang Hao didn't say it explicitly, they could guess that the method used to help Wu Tai break through must be extremely brutal.
"Brother, please come with me to the house in the valley behind the house to rest for a while, and I will tell you about the situation here."
Qing'er rolled her eyes helplessly and invited Wang Hao to rest in the back. As for herself, although she was eager to heal the scars on her face, she wasn't in a hurry; the important matter was more important.
But to everyone's surprise, Wang Hao said Tyrannical Dao, "Those things aren't urgent. We can talk about them tomorrow. Today, let you two consummate your marriage."
He hadn't prepared any gift for his adopted sister this time, so he just gave her this as a present.
As for the situation of this base on the island, we can find out about it at any time; there's no rush.
Qing'er couldn't refuse Wang Hao, so she had no choice but to lead Wang Hao to her room to wait for Wang Hao treatment.
"There will be some pain and itching during the process, please bear with it."
After removing Qing'er's veil, Wang Hao carefully examined the several hideous scars on her face. Confirming that they weren't too serious, he solemnly gave her some instructions.
To be honest, the scars on Qing'er's face are not a big problem. The wounds are not very deep. They are just superficial scars and have not damaged the underlying muscles and bones, causing serious deformities.
It was just that the wound wasn't treated properly at the time, which caused it to heal poorly and left this hideous scar.
If Qing'er can Awakening the Bloodline Power, she will be able to heal and recover on her own without any external force.
However, Wang Hao didn't want Qing'er to wait that long, so he stepped in to help resolve the issue.
"Brother, please do as you please. I can endure any pain."
Suppressing her excitement, Qing'er replied resolutely.
