Voyage With The Pirate King

"Watch him," said Ji Yao pointing at the man lying on the ground. Who he was talking to was obvious. The pair that had been fighting on mute stopped moving and responded loudly as though it would help cover up the fact that they were battling just now.

Ji Yao entered his cabin and took out a box made out of redwood. From the way it was carefully wrapped and stored one could tell it was something important to him. When he opened it a powerful surge of seraphic energy filled the room making someone like Rui Yewan and Rui Li feel weak at the knees out of fear.

Rui Fei on the other hand felt an unexpected bound of rage like he was in the presence of an enemy. The only reason why he could control himself was because he felt a faint sense of familiarity. That's because Rui Fei's seraphic energy was partially inherited from Qilin Hao so there were similarities.

Lying quietly in the box was a broken antler and from the looks of it it was from a nocru so powerful that plenty would kneel at that person's feet and make them their king. This gorgeous antler glowing in marvellous light belonged to no one other than Qilin Hao. From what he gathered Qilin Hao and Qilin Kai weren't the best of cousins. There was a great deal of animosity between them. And if he were to find this antler on Dong Jie's person he would undoubtedly take it away from him claiming victory over her. But Ji Yao would never give him the real thing.

He had issues with his mother but he would never give away something this important even though she robbed him of his father not too long ago. This is where Rui Yewan came in. All he had to do was let Rui Yewan replicate this antler and infuse it with some faint amount of Qilin Hao's seraphic energy to fool Qilin Kai into keeping it as a trophy. And as long as he has it in his possession Rui Fei would always find him.

When Ji Yao raised his head he saw everyone's abnormalities he slammed the box shut and looked at Rui Yewan, "Can you do it?"

Rui Yewan was snapped out of his fear with a start. "Sure, sure... I can, I can do it. Just, just one more look," he said but he was cut off by Rui Li who looked like she had been suppressed so much by that powerful aura that she lost her senses.

"No..... if you want to take a look wait until I am out of here. Whatever that is it is more terrifying than Fei-ge, no offence dage," she said before scurrying away like her ass was on fire. So much of joining the boys club. Her membership didn't even last a day.

She ran so fast that Rui Fei didn't even have the time to retort. His pride would never let him admit that openly because he wanted to be the strongest in Ji Yao's eyes. Though it might be the most ridiculous thought ever, he still wanted it to be so.

There was a strong desire in his heart to work hard and become the strongest. That way Ji Yao would never marvel at anyone else because he would be enough for him.

Unfortunately for him, his soon to be mother in law was something out of this world a force to be reckoned with. Even her antler that she broke with her own hand eighteen years ago was still so powerful that it could insight so much fear in these two children in her absence.

Rui Yewan didn't waste any time creating an exact replica of this antler and replaced it in the box that still had traces of Qilin Hao's seraphic energy.

When they got outside, the man had long passed out not from the pain of having his face torn off but from Big Hei's constant assault. Each time he hit him Big Hei would use the excuse that he moved even when it was just a thumb twitching. So after being accused of wanting to escape plenty of times he finally passed out from all those beatings.

Since he was passed out Ji Yao took the chance and placed the wooden box inside Rui Fei's hands only for Rui Fei to stare at him with a dumb expression. "What?" asked Rui Fei genuinely confused. What was he supposed to do with it?

For a moment Ji Yao felt a tad bit helpless as he stared at Rui Fei. This person right here was supposed to be his destiny or rather his fate but he was acting like he didn't know Ji Yao's meaning.

It was Rui Yewan who came to this poor Pirate King's rescue because his boyfriend couldn't even read between the lines. He took the wooden box from his older brother who couldn't think fast enough and placed it inside the passed out man's storage space. Lucky for them this assassin slash muscle for hire was so poor that he couldn't afford a secure storage space that wouldn't allow just anyone more powerful than him access.

The proud Rui Yewan who had been so helpful to the team today was a little cocky as he said outright to his older brother, "You are welcome."

If they weren't in front of Ji Yao that smug expression would have earned him a slap upside his head. Rui Fei's hands were itching to smack him.

In fact, he was just about to do it but before he could deliver the final judgment, Ji Yao who never smiles at anyone else except him actually smiled at Rui Yewan and to top it all off he praised him. That was the icing on the cake for this jar of vinegar.

That one smile could have this youth sulking the entire day and he had already started pouting but who could he blame. He was the one who had forgotten that Ji Yao doesn't touch other people apart from himself.

He was so used to Ji Yao's touch that it was easy to forget that he had an issue touching others. So when Ji Yao gave him the box for a moment he didn't know what to do with it.

Now his sly little brother was getting the perks. If he wasn't jealous then his name wasn't Rui Fei. With zero sense of shame, he draped his arm around Ji Yao and pulled him close acting out a scene straight from an idol drama. The word mine was written all over his face. He was like a toddler claiming his territory by acting out a dramatic scene.

Ji Yao could clearly see what was happening here but he didn't refute it. I mean anything to get him a hug, right? While these two were acting out a love scene someone was having the worst time of her life.

Another person surname Dong was trying to leave and get her brother but this menace of a man wouldn't let her leave.

Qilin Kai was especially domineering with his vicious glare as he stood towering over her. If it weren't for the chains on his hands holding him back he would have torn her to pieces.

It was because of this that she finally worked up the courage and crawled backwards before vanishing into thin air. Her brother was worth more than the treasures offered by that dog blood emperor Rui. If anything happened to him she would be left alone in this world.

As soon as her body vaporized into thin air Qilin Kai was so pissed off that he kicked the sand with his brocade boots throwing a fit.

In less than a second, she materialized on Red Bane and as expected she found her brother lying on the ground in a pool of blood.

His face was torn with a laceration deep to the bone. Mortified by what she saw she grabbed hold of her brother suppressing the violent storm brewing in her. She only had a moment to take a glimpse of the person who did this to him.

But unfortunately, her gaze landed on the wrong person. She aimed her deadly stare at Rui Fei who was simply trying to talk Ji Yao into praising him too. He was embarrassing Ji Yao with his back facing Dong Jie when he turned his head slightly only to be met by a vicious expression like that of a spitting cobra ready to strike. She was surrounded by a bright blue fog with part of her body barely visible.

Ji Yao who was busy enjoying some pillow talk was suddenly left hanging dry. When he turned to look in Rui Fei's direction he was busy staring at someone else. How was he supposed to let that slide?

Instead of reacting to the strange woman on board his ship, he was busy reacting to Rui Fei staring at the strange woman. Without thinking he placed his fingers on Rui Fei's chin and pulled him back to look at him.. It seems Rui Fei wasn't the only one eating vinegar today.
