Chapter 41: Elder...sister...save...me
On the Southern sea, a lone pirate ship was escaping with all its might.
Its tattered black sails billowed in the wind, racing across the Southern Sea with all the speed its crew could muster.
Captain Blackbeard shouted orders, urging his men to push the ship to its limits.
They knew they were being pursued by the formidable Huang Ship, and escape was their only hope.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting an orange and pink hue across the vast expanse of the sea, the tension on board the pirate ship was palpable.
The crew's eyes darted nervously to the stern, where the Huang Ship, an imposing vessel with golden sails, closed the gap.
Just when it seemed that the Huang Ship was about to close in for the capture, a bizarre and eerie phenomenon occurred.
The pirate ship suddenly began to shimmer, its form wavering like a mirage in the desert.
Gasps of astonishment escaped the lips of Blackbeard's crew as they watched their ship fade into nothingness before their eyes.
"What just happened?"
Everyone on the Huang ship widened their eyes, their jaws dropped to the ground.
For a couple of seconds, no one believed what just happened before their eyes.
Huang Guo blinked his eyes twice and asked with a blistering voice.
"A-Are you all seeing what I'm seeing?"
"Yes… Young Master," the crew answered in unison.
This was the first time they'd encountered such a bizarre phenomenon at sea.
It was no secret that all the crew members of the Huang ship were veterans with decades of experience at sea.
For them to be shocked by the sudden disappearance of the pirate ship, it could only mean one thing: This had never happened before.
"What should we do?" An old man asked, staring at Huang Guo.
Hearing the question, the deck was quiet, leaving only the gentle breeze of the sea.
As for Huang Guo, he looked in the direction where the pirate ship disappeared and thought for a moment.
'I have the Metal Bone Construct… combined with Spirit Comms. What could possibly go wrong?' He thought.
'If this is not a natural phenomenon, but a gimmick from the pirates to trick us into stopping the pursuit. How would I know without following them…'
When his train of thought arrived at this conclusion, a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.
"After them!" He shouted, his voice filled with determination and courage.
Seeing this, everyone on the deck cheered in excitement and pushed the ship in hot pursuit.
And behold…
In the eerie silence of the Southern Sea, both ships vanished, leaving nothing but questions and uncertainty in their wake.
Meanwhile, inside the Huang manor, Huang Yin sat on her throne with an aloof expression, radiating deep pride.
"Clan master, with the continuous extermination of the pirates, our ships are safely returning to the harbor," a middle-aged woman reported.
Hearing this, Huang Yin didn't change her expression and asked.
"Make sure to monitor the merchants and prevent them from selling the Metal Bone Construct to the pirates."
"I'll make sure of that," she responded.
"What about the Spirit Comms?" Huang Yin asked.
Even though she had agreed to become Su Yen's woman, she hadn't taken the opportunity to ask for more for our clan.
Besides, she hadn't heard a word from Su Yen for the past couple of days, making the fury in her heart burn fiercely each day.
Just as they were discussing, the door of the hall opened, and a young man entered and bowed.
"Clan master, you have a guest?" He said with his head lowered.
Guest?!
Huang Yin creased her brow since she wasn't expecting any visitors.
'Perhaps, it's one of those damned suitors that won't stop bothering me.'
"If he is one of those people… Send them away. Tell him I'm busy," she said coldly.
Hearing this, a cold sweat fell from the young man's forehead, and he raised his head slightly to look at Huang Yin.
"C-Clan…He's not one of them." He said as if begging Huang Yin to reconsider her command.
Subsequently, the middle-aged woman looked at the guards with a puzzled expression.
Should the guard insist the clan master to see this guest? She thought.
As for Huang Yin, she wasn't aware of what was going on in the mind of the elder. She was overjoyed that she couldn't maintain her aloof expression.
"Then who is he? Perhaps, is he a woman?"
"No. He is a man… and… He's the clan… Sect master of the… Celestial Heavenly Sect," the guard said in a low voice.
When Huang Yin heard this, she stood on her feet, and the aloof expression on her face turned into shock.
'How could he be here?' she thought, with her heart racing.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged woman widened her eyes, and her mouth opened like a saucer.
'Su — Sect Master… here in our clan,' her head was dizzy for a moment as she couldn't wait to see the most handsome man in the Barren Land.
As for Huang Yin, she wasn't aware of what was going on in the mind of the elder. She was overjoyed that she couldn't maintain her aloof expression.
"S-Send him to my courtyard…" she managed to say before she rushed out of the hall.
In the courtyard, filled with a wide variety of ornamental flowers, a young man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the fishes in the ponds.
Creak!
From behind, the door opened slowly, and fresh mesmerizing fragrance assaulted the air.
Su Yen's nose crinkled a bit, and a bright smile crept up his face as he turned in the direction of the entrance.
Standing a couple of feet from him was Huang Yin. She had changed her robe and put on a more tight-fitted robe that accentuated her seductive figure.
"You look great in this dress…" Su Yen commented with a smile as he approached her slowly.
Hearing this, Huang Yin's heart skipped a bit, and a slight blush crept up her face.
But when she remembered Su Yen hiding the Spirit Comms from her, a light frown appeared on her face.
"Don't think your sweet words would make me forgive you that easily…" she pouted like a child.
"I know it won't…" he stopped a couple of inches from her face, looked directly into her eyes before reaching out to hold her hand.
"I wanted to surprise you like everyone else… But how would I know that it upset you. But now, I've learned my lesson."
Saying this, he drew her closer to his body, enjoying her hypnotizing smell.
Huang Yin trembled a bit but did not retreat. Her neck and face were shades of red, with her heart racing.
As for Su Yen, he maintained his smile, appreciating the beauty in front of him as he snaked his arm around her waist, squeezing her perky buttock.
Feeling him squeezing her butt, she bit the edge of her lip and tried to control her erratic breathing.
"H-How can you do this in the open?" She managed to say, with her chest rising and falling.
"Because you are my woman." Su Yen responded calmly and increased the pressure in his hand.
Hmm!
She let out a moan. Realizing this, her heart raced with nervousness as she quickly averted her gaze.
"Don't be shy. I love that sound," Su Yen teased.
"Really…" She asked, looking at him from the corner of her eyes.
"Yes."
Just as she was about to respond, she received a call from her Spirit Comms.
Without delay, she answered with a thought.
"E-Elder… sister… save… me…"
