After kissing for more than a minute, Heichenshi finally let go.

The dog-eared youth leaned against him meekly, fiddling with his long silver-white hair.

Hei Chenshi only knew how to kiss. He didn't know what to do next, nor did he think of doing anything else.

He has been under a lot of pressure recently, and as the captain, there are many things he cannot tell others.

Heichenshi pressed the man down on the bed and talked to him in his dream.

He said that managing a pirate ship was not easy, especially since the people on board were secretly divided into two factions.

Before boarding the ship, some crew members witnessed their relatives and friends being forcibly turned into clams, beaten every day, and forced to spit out pearls day and night.

Like Hei Chenshi, they are all very resistant to limb regeneration potion, believing that it is harmful.

I would rather die in bed than be injected with medicine.

Another part of the crew felt that turning into a razor clam monster was better than dying. In a critical moment, they could choose to inject a potion to save their lives.

The ship's doctor Xingxingzi is one of the representative figures.

The two groups often quarreled.

The crew members who support the use of limb regeneration potion always want to keep a portion of the potion on themselves to save their lives.

This may seem like just an ordinary contradiction, but it actually poses a huge safety hazard.

There were a lot of them, accounting for one-third of the total number of people. Hei Chenshi was so angry that his teeth itched, but he couldn't drive so many people off the boat in one go.

In addition to the troubles on the ship, there are also a lot of troubles outside the ship.

Several major pirate groups were forming a pirate alliance. All the well-known pirate groups in the Lower Seas were invited to join the alliance, and the Sky Star Pirate Group was also invited.

Heichenshi could see at a glance that this was a conspiracy by the three countries in the lower sea area.

They wanted to control the pirates and use them for their own purposes. The pirate group that led the formation of the pirate alliance had long been bribed.

Heichenshi didn't want to be used as a tool, so he rejected the other party's invitation.

Those pirate groups began to target him openly and covertly, and would cause trouble for him every time they met him at sea.

It was during this critical period of internal and external troubles that the captain fell seriously ill and was unable to function normally for three to five months.

Heichenshi was filled with anger but had no place to vent it.

He became more and more annoyed as he spoke, so he simply pinched the dog-eared young man's cheek again and kissed him hard.

This man appeared in his dream and should belong to him.

As a pirate, Hei Chenshi's behavior is much rougher than that of the previous Chen brothers.

Yu Tong was rarely treated so roughly.

Rude and strong, but not uncomfortable.

He thought it was quite novel.

————

Every time Heichenshi talked about something that bothered him, he would pull the dog-eared man and kiss him.

While talking to him, I vented my emotions.

The man in the dream is not only good-looking, but also speaks very nicely. I will listen to him patiently and give him advice.

Hei Chenshi told the man what he heard from the small boat doctor.

He pressed his fingertips lightly against the man's soft lips and said thoughtfully, "The thing controlling the ship's doctor said that anyone from the lower seas is not allowed to enter the middle seas. This is a punishment for humanity's defeat."

The furry dog tail behind Yu Tong swayed back and forth unconsciously.

He tilted his head in thought, "So the creatures living in the middle ocean aren't actually human. There are other civilizations in this world."

Heichenshi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

Yu Tong kissed the man's tall nose affectionately. "From what she said, we can be sure that the fundamental reason why the Sky Star was attacked this time was that we forced our way into the intermediate domain."

Heichenshi frowned slightly, "We are not the only pirate group planning to go to the medium sea area."

Before he could finish his words, two white, slender fingers were suddenly raised in front of him.

"Then there are two possibilities."

"First, all pirates heading for the entrance to the medium sea area will be attacked. It's just a matter of time. The Sky Star was unlucky, or it was closest to the entrance, so it was the first to be attacked."

Hei Chenshi lowered his eyelids, trying to recall the nautical chart.

Unfortunately, dreams are just dreams, and there are still many differences between them and reality.

The scene in the room kept changing, and he spoke incoherently, not to mention recalling the complex and detailed nautical chart.

The dog-eared youth twitched his ears and continued, "Another guess is that some of our actions have attracted the attention of the creatures in the medium sea area."

"Perhaps there's something special along our route that the Intermediate Sea Area doesn't want the people of the Lower Sea Area to discover. Or perhaps we've accumulated so many pearls that we can buy passes to other sea areas. To prevent the lie about the passes from being exposed, the Intermediate Sea Area decided to dispose of the Azure Star in advance."

This is actually a dream. Hei Chenshi's brain is vague and not as clear as when he is awake.

Perhaps because he wanted so badly to remember what the dog-eared man had said, subtitles appeared in his dream.

Every time the man spoke, Hei Chenshi saw a string of words.

Secretary Hongying and Tianluo, along with other trusted aides, would occasionally appear in the room. The color of the man's maid outfit also kept changing.

Fortunately, no matter how messy the dream scene was, the handsome dog-eared young man stayed obediently in his arms.

He could always hear the man's pleasant voice.

"What we can confirm at this point is that the attack on the Azure Star in medium waters has little to do with the limb regeneration potion being developed on board. We can continue researching this potion in the future."

"Human civilization is primarily concentrated in the Lower Seas, while the Middle Seas are controlled by another non-human civilization. Judging from their attack methods, they only use mental manipulation to remotely control the pirates. They won't suddenly rush to the Lower Seas to hunt down the Azure Star anytime soon."

"If we proactively stay away from routes leading to the medium sea area, we shouldn't be targeted by the enemy anymore. We can focus on researching potions and try to restore the mutated crew members to normal. Once the Sky Star has returned to peak condition, we can consider forcing our way into the upper-middle sea area."
