Chapter 47: The Whaler

This is the offer!
Cao Ze also took a breath and was even a little moved.

He had heard about this in Hai City, that one pound of the monster fish meat was as effective as a skin-grinding prescription. Monster fish was not only effective for warriors at the skin-grinding level, but also for warriors of the corresponding level.

And because the monster fish is food, it is less likely to accumulate drug resistance and can be eaten repeatedly in large quantities.

If there were an unlimited supply of demon fish meat, plus three prescriptions, the speed at which he and Su Xiaozhi would improve their cultivation would probably reach a terrifying level.

In the end, reason overcame impulse, and Cao Ze took a deep breath.

Life is always full of choices, and every choice will result in loss!

There are gains and losses.

Therefore, when making a choice, you need to know clearly what you want.

Cao Ze was very firm about this answer.

As a man with a golden finger, what he needs most now is a safe environment and time!
Feng Kuang saw Cao Ze hesitate, and then looked at Su Xiaozhi beside him, as if he had thought of something, and spoke again, "If Miss Su doesn't mind, you can also be a sailor on the Kuangfeng."

Of course he could tell that Su Xiaozhi was a warrior.

As for the treatment, he didn't mention it, but with Cao Ze around, how could Su Xiaozhi's treatment be bad?

"Can this still happen?"

Cao Ze was shocked. In his impression, there were usually very few women on ocean-going ships.

Feng Kuang laughed, "Why not? There are already several female sailors on the Kuangfeng."

For some reason, the image of that punch as powerful as a landslide appeared in Cao Ze's mind, and he seemed to have realized something.

Martial arts are respected in this world, and because of martial arts, the gap between men and women has been narrowed. Women can also become strong martial artists, so it is not surprising that there are female sailors.

"I'll think about it again!"

Cao Ze was really tempted, but he still didn't agree immediately.

The open sea is full of dangers: pirates, powerful sea beasts, storms... any one of them could take his life.

When he entered the city, he saw a tattered ocean-going ship parked at Feiyan Harbor. It was said that the captain was a person who had reached the ninth level of Body Tempering, the peak of Bone Tempering Realm. In the end, he was killed by pirates and escaped with only a tattered large ship.

Even a strong man who has reached the ninth level of body forging is so fragile, let alone him.

"Not urgent!"

Feng Kuang stopped trying to persuade him. He had said all he needed to say: do your best and leave the rest to fate.

"The Tornado has just returned to port. The next voyage will be at least two months later. Brother Cao can give me the answer then."

After this topic was over, Feng Kuang and Su Wu chatted for a while about interesting things at sea, and then said goodbye to each other.

When it was time to pay the bill, Su Wu was ready to grab the bill and thank Feng Kuang for his help, but the shopkeeper only smiled and replied, "Captain Feng has already paid."

……

In the box on the third floor, people were also toasting each other with wine, and the atmosphere became more familiar.

"Manager Yue, come, I'll toast you with this cup. I'll have to trouble you with the matter of the Whale Hunter!"

Tian Haiyi drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Easy to say."

Manager Yue also raised his glass and said at a distance, "I was just following orders. You should thank Master Wenxuan!"

As the head of the four major families in Cape City, the Yue family is so large and has so many affairs to manage, and he is just a manager who manages a small part of it.

This kid is also very lucky. His sister actually became the favorite concubine of Master Yue Wenxuan. It happened that the Whale Hunter was severely damaged and the captain was killed in the battle. Naturally, this lucrative job will fall on the head of this lucky kid.

And if he can do it well and get in touch with Master Wenxuan, there will naturally be many benefits in the future.

Otherwise, with his status, how could Tian Haiyi invite so many people?

"Mr. Wenxuan is naturally the top priority, but I cannot forget the kindness of Manager Yue. In the end, everything depends on Manager Yue." Tian Haiyi's sincere feelings made Manager Yue nod secretly, thinking that this kid is a promising talent, so he added one more sentence, "Although Mr. Wenxuan has spoken, if you want to become the captain of the Whale Hunter, you need to be at least in the Bone Tempering Realm. You don't have much time left."

Tian Haiyi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Manager Yue, I am not talented, but I just had a feeling today. I will break through the Bone Tempering Realm soon."

"In that case, congratulations to Captain Tianhai in advance."

Manager Yue also took the initiative to raise his glass and said something nice, which gave Tian Haiyi enough face.

……

Ten miles north of Tianxiang Tower is another city wall. This is the inner city of Haijiao City, and the four major families are located in the inner city.

Compared to the outer city, the inner city is much quieter, less prosperous and more tranquil and elegant.

Although there are only four major families in the inner city, the area they occupy is not much less than that of the outer city.

In a small courtyard planted with bamboos, among a stretch of buildings in the southern part of the inner city, a woman in a white dress was sitting lazily on the fence of a pavilion, with her back against the pavilion pillar, holding a book in her left hand, reading leisurely.

It was Yue Lingke who had returned to Cape City for some time.

A girl in a red dress and a willow-leaf bun walked towards this side quickly.

"Miss, your injuries haven't healed yet, why are you running out again!"

The girl came to Yue Lingke and complained with a pout.

"I know, I know……"

Yue Lingke felt helpless. As a martial arts master, was she still worried about catching a cold from being outside in the wind?

But she had nothing to say. This time she sneaked out to play and ended up returning home seriously injured and on the verge of death. After half a month of rescue by the Yue family doctor, she finally woke up from her coma and was able to move freely until the day before yesterday.

Her father has already issued a house arrest order for her. This small courtyard is only separated from her yard by a wall, but if you really want to make a fuss about it, it has already reached the point of violating the house arrest order.

"I heard that the Whaler has no captain yet?"

Yue Lingke put down the book in his hand and asked.

The girl still pouted and didn't answer.

Yue Lingke couldn't help but laugh. He stood up and pinched the girl's chubby face. "Okay, okay, I'll definitely take you with me next time I go out, okay?"

"I'll teach you that Hong Xing is not playful. But if you bring Hong Xing with you, Hong Xing will definitely protect you at all costs and will not let you get hurt so badly."

Hong Xing said gloomily.

"I know, I know, Hong Xing is already a powerful internal organ refiner!"

Yue Lingke couldn't help but tease her. At this moment, she was far from the image of a martial arts expert who could kill a half-step grandmaster with one punch.

"The lady laughed at me again!"

Hong Xing pouted even more, "Although Hong Xing is not as good as the young lady, if someone wants to hurt the young lady, they have to step over Hong Xing's body before they can do so!"

"Okay, okay, I know Hong Xing treats me the best."

Yue Lingke stopped teasing her, rubbed Hong Xing's head, and asked again, "Tell me about the Whale Hunter."

"The Whale Hunter was attacked by the Skeleton Pirates three months ago. The captain and first mate were killed, the second mate was missing, the third mate was seriously injured, and most of the sailors were killed or injured. The boatswain returned to Feiyan Port with the battered Whale Hunter..."

Hong Xing stopped being upset and carefully told Yue Lingke about the Whale Hunter.

"Right now, my family is discussing the selection of the captain of the Whaler. I heard that a decision has been made."

"However, the Whale Hunter was severely damaged and needs to recruit new sailors. I'm afraid it will take some time before it can set sail again."

"Captain?"

Yue Lingke muttered to himself, and a figure appeared in his mind, "I have a suitable candidate!"
