The Proud Prince and the Arrogant Princess

Mu Ying frowned as he held the jade hairpin. "He is such a soft-hearted woman."

When they thought back to the matters at hand that they had already dealt with, Xue Ruoyun and the others had also left for a month and three days. The effect of Xue Duan Sheng's matter gradually subsided, and the Empress Dowager seemed to have forgotten about it. Mu Sheng thought to himself as he finished up all the matters at hand. When the time came, he would think of an excuse and tell the empress dowager that he was going for a sightseeing trip, but in reality, he was going to find Xue Ruyun.

"When I find her, I'll take her away with me and become a happy couple." Mu Sheng thought.

"I just don't know if she's willing." Mu Rong Hao began to argue again. Although he was thinking about these things, his expression was calm, and it was hard to discern any emotions.

"If you are unwilling, then I must also let her go." Mu Sheng made up his mind. However, he thought this way: when he meets Xue Ruyun, he won't be able to become fierce. Mu Ying was completely helpless against her. He absolutely could not bear to force Xue Ruyun.

A few days ago, news came from the hidden guards over there, saying that Xue Ruoyun's group had already rented a boat and was going to take the water route. Mu Sheng closed his eyes and thought about the terrain. Pirates were rampant along the way, so he wondered if she was in danger.

In fact, with Xue Ruyun's martial arts attainments, Mu Ying wasn't worried at all. He was worried that the few people beside her would bring trouble to Xue Ruoyun.

Mu Sheng's mind was filled with worry for Xue Ruoyun day after day. Even though he was in the capital, his heart was already far away.

Xue Ruyun had also been on this island for a while. Here, not only had Wei Duhong not imprisoned her, but he had also given her endless freedom. There was only one way, and that was to not leave Pirates' Island.

In recent days on the island, Wei Taohong was neither cold nor hot to her, but he always came to chat with her, dispel the loneliness.

Xue Luoyun also enjoyed chatting with Wei Duohong, but he didn't realize that even though he was a pirate, he was very ancient, and could talk about everything with Xue Mengyun.

After interacting with him for a long time, in his heart, Xue Ruoyun had already secretly considered him a friend.

These days, she had been wandering the island, blowing the sea breeze. They found that the people of the island were living and working in peace and happiness. Everyone was living a very happy and happy life.

There were also many women on the island, the wives of pirates.

"These should have been stolen by them. How pitiful." Xue Ruyun thought back to when Lu Yida forcefully pulled Xue Lian to draw the fierce look of a wife, confirming his thoughts.

As she was walking, a child ran towards her with a wooden knife. He suddenly bumped into her skirt and fell down.

Xue Ruyun bent down and helped him up. "Little guy, be careful. Don't fall down."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Xue." Just then, a woman ran over and pulled the child over, apologizing.

"It doesn't matter." Xue Luoyun smiled.

"Don't run around, kid." The woman put her hand on the child's head and taught him a lesson.

"Mom, I was practicing to be a pirate." The child spoke coquettishly with a wooden sabre in hand as if he was cutting it.

"His greatest ambition is to become a pirate like a king." The woman smiled as she spoke to Xue Muyun.

"Why would he want to be a pirate at such a young age?" Xue Ruyun didn't understand. In his impression, the majority of pirates were bad people who committed all sorts of crimes.

"Because our King is plundering the rich and helping the poor. He is ensuring the safety of all of us!" the woman said proudly.

Hearing her words, Xue Luoyun was even less interested. She wanted to indirectly understand what sort of person Wei Duhong was, and always felt that he was enigmatic.

"I'd like to ask how you came to this island." Because there was no one around the island. There are no original residents here either.

"Back then, I was robbed as well." The woman smiled and said shyly.

"Oh? "How so?"

"On that day, a group of us were sold. We wanted to sail the seas by boat and sell ourselves to a place called the Volcano Country to be a prostitute. We were all robbed, so we were very unwilling, and we desperately tried to call for help along the way. "I didn't expect that just as we were passing by the island, we would run into the King and the others."

"When we heard that the pirates had arrived, we were filled with despair, but before we could enter the den of tigers, we were forced to enter the den of wolves."

"And then?" Xue Ruyun was curious.

"Later on, although they were all vicious, they only robbed money and didn't kill anyone. After robbing the boat, they found us. They thought they had lost their lives this time, but when they heard that we had told them what had happened to them, they felt very sympathetic. Said to let us go. However, we were secretly sold to the pirates by the government, so we couldn't avoid being sold or killed when we returned. We didn't want to go back. I don't know where I'm going. The King had no choice but to take us in, so that we may live and work in peace on this island. Then I met my husband. He looked rough, but his heart was soft. A lot of people on our island are willing to stay here. This is a paradise for us. "

As the woman spoke to that point, a trace of smugness was even raised on her face. Her face was brimming with happiness.

"So that's how it is." Xue Ruyun smiled inwardly. This Wei Duhong really wasn't a bad person.

After bidding farewell to the woman, Xue Luoyun took a walk, walking alone on the island in silence. Seeing that the life above was organized and that everyone was carefree, Xue Ruoyun couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly, Wei Duohong appeared beside her.

"Why did you suddenly appear out of nowhere, just like someone." Xue Ruyun was startled, and a person came to his mind.

"Who is it?" Wei Duohong asked curiously when he heard him talk about someone.

"No one." Xue Luoyun shook his head.

"What did you talk to her about?" It turned out that Wei Duohong had already seen Xue Luoyun chatting with someone from far away.

"Should I report this as well?" Xue Ruyun rolled his eyes at him.

"Did you urge her to flee with you? Was it a success?" Wei Duhong was curious, but his eyes were full of ridicule.

"No way, I think it's pretty good here." Xue Luoyun sincerely said,

"Oh, really? "Then you can stay here and be my wife." Wei Duohong suddenly laughed as she looked at her insincerely.

"You wish." Xue Ruyun quickened his pace, leaving him a few meters behind.

"Alright, let's not joke." When Wei Duohong saw that Xue Ruyun was angry, he chased after him.

"How did you become the pirate chief?" Xue Luoyun had never been able to understand this question, because his body was thin, completely out of place with these men.

"Use this." He pointed to his head and said, "Martial power is secondary, intelligence comes first."

Xue Ruyun shook his head. He felt that although he was not bad, he only had brains. Without martial arts, he couldn't sit in this position even if he wanted to.

"You must be a master at hiding your strength." Xue Ruyun guessed.

Wei Duofeng smiled and opened his folding fan. He declined to comment and said, "Then why don't we have a spar."

"Forget it, forget it." Xue Ruyun waved his hand. "If I were to meet a peerless expert, wouldn't I lose face? I'd be bringing shame upon myself."

"Alright, then I won't force you."

"The main thing is that he has a kind heart." Wei Duohong put away his fan, looked into the distance, and suddenly said, "Go away." Only Xue Ruyun was left to savor these words.

"His concept is really high." Xue Ruyun carefully savored this sentence for a long time, then nodded his head.

Xue Duan Sheng and the others traveled for a few days before finally arriving at the shore by land. He would reach Qingshui County after a little more walking.

They got off the boat and sold it. When they were renting the boat, the boss had said that the Luminous Pearl could be bought by the entire store.

I sold the boat and got some silver. This time, he had plenty of money.

They found a shop and stayed the night. They would leave tomorrow.

"Master, my two daughters and I will go to the market in front to buy some things." Seeing that she had some money, Mrs Zhao could not stay idle any longer. She gave her two daughters a look and was about to leave.

"Madame, do you still remember the previous days?" Xue Duan Sheng only said this, and it was already enough to warn the Zhao Clan.

"Understood, Old Master. I know what I'm doing and I definitely won't waste it." Mrs Zhao nodded in agreement.

"Alright, you guys will be right back." Xue Duan Sheng warned.

However, this time, Mrs Zhao did not do it for the sake of buying things, but because she had other things to do.

So it turned out that Lady Zhao and her two daughters had already discussed this matter. They definitely had to take this opportunity to spread the news and ruin Xue Ruoyun's reputation. However, he couldn't let Xue Duan Sheng know.

Even though Lin Bin was a small county, news traveled quickly in this world.

Mrs Zhao walked out, and after discussing with her two daughters, she began to split up, and began to talk about everything.

Mrs Zhao found a populated place and slapped her thigh as she cried, "My poor daughter …"

The surrounding people did not understand what was going on and gathered around. A kind-hearted aunt stepped forward and asked with concern, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

"Aiya, our family came to Qingshui County to take over, but we didn't expect to meet pirates along the way. I have a daughter, called Xue Luoyun. She was used to being in the limelight since she was young, but in the end, she angered that pirate. "Now that our family has escaped, only she was captured by the pirates." Mrs Zhao said in a black and white voice.

"Alas, that was a terrible thing to do. That pirate was a rapist and a plunderer. He did everything he could. How brutal! Your daughter might not have much luck at all …." The surrounding people said in sympathy.

"That's right. Pity my daughter. They've ruined her. She's still a virgin, and there are so many men on the island. Now she can't even protect her innocence." Mrs Zhao couldn't stop crying as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Everyone expressed their deep sympathy for the tragic fate of these few foreigners. Soon, word of this matter spread far and wide. The news quickly spread.

Poor Xue Duan Sheng, he still didn't know that they were spreading rumors and thought that they were just going for a stroll and didn't know that they were doing these dirty things.
