Mie Yin stopped in his tracks, looked at the women, children and the elderly on the boat, and replied to Jiang Si: "When they came with me, they were not like this. I can't abandon them just because they are seriously ill. Besides, without them, no one would clean this boat."

Jiang Si asked the question casually, but she didn't expect him to be so humane. Could this be the reason why he has been able to roam the starry sea without being betrayed and why he has become an idol to others?

Jiang Si deliberately misinterpreted the situation and asked, "Pillars are arsonists, murderers, robbers, and plunderers, only thinking of money and committing all kinds of evil. You seem a little different, a little soft-hearted!"

"Where is the soft-heartedness?" Mie Yin retorted. "Princess Consort of the Troya Empire, it's not that I'm soft-hearted, it's that you seem easily deceived by appearances."

This is implying to her that even if there are women, children, and elderly people on the spaceship, it's just a deceptive tactic used by this ruthless bandit.

If he does that, then it'll be interesting, it'll be fun, and he can make even more money off of it.

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow and smiled, her arrogance reaching its peak: "Anyone who can deceive me with appearances, I'll either kick them against the wall and pry them off, or I'll have already crushed their heads."

Try to confuse her; she's not blind. The women, old people, and children in front of her either have genetic problems, mental problems, are missing arms, or have lost a leg.

The artificial arms and legs used back then were easily recognizable, unlike now, where artificial skin has become so realistic that it's indistinguishable from real life. If someone is missing an arm or leg and is wearing a prosthetic, unless you use a machine, the average person can't tell the difference with their eyes.

Mie Yin had no doubt about her arrogance and domineering nature. She could wield a gun with her bare hands and shoot bullets at others, she could stop time, she could summon wind, rain and thunder, and she could destroy a planet with a wave of her hand. No one in the Abel system was her match.

Jiang Si didn't care about these old, weak, sick and disabled people at all, and asked, "By the way, how many people are on your spaceship?"

Faced with an absolute powerhouse, Mie Yin made no attempt to conceal anything: "The Tu Mie ship has a total of 3,180 people."

Jiang Si nodded: "There are quite a lot, unlike my dad and his group, who are currently ranked number 1 on the Abel Galaxy's star pirate leaderboard, and they only have 31 people."

"Normally, even 31 people wouldn't be all here, unlike you, where all 3180 people are present!"

She meant no threat; she was merely reminding Mieyin that there were only 3,180 people, and that killing them would be as easy as waving a hand.

Mie Yin lowered his eyelids slightly: "They are my crew members, so naturally they are all here. I am their leader, and it is impossible for me to abandon anyone."

"You won't be that soon." Jiang Si lifted her foot and continued walking: "You can't pay me back. Not only you, but your ship and your people will also have to pay me back."

"Yes, you're right!" Mie Yin paused slightly, then stepped forward and continued to lead the way.

The women, children, and elderly people that Jiang Si had mentioned gathered together after they had walked away, whispering among themselves: "That little girl didn't seem like a prisoner, but more like a little princess inspecting her spaceship."

"Right, right, right, even our carefree boss doesn't refer to himself as 'I' in front of that girl. He's so nice and gentle with her!"

"Do you think our boss knows a girl? Is she a fan of our boss? He's just being a bit scarey, so he's not acting like a thug."

"It shouldn't be. You said that the girl is like a little princess, so she might actually be a princess. Besides, you've seen it too, the ship she's piloting is different from ours."

"In my opinion, the little girl's ship is probably the latest model, the latest model that hasn't been announced to the world yet."

"This girl is driving a brand-new, unreleased model. She must be incredibly rich and powerful. Our boss has hooked up with a real princess and a super-rich tycoon!"

"Forget whether the boss has run into a real princess or a super-rich tycoon, stop whining and get to work. Make the spaceship shine. If the boss is happy, he can lead us on more missions, and then we'll have money for medical treatment and to buy natural fruits and vegetables."

"Yes, yes, get to work, get to work! Don't slack off, don't slack off! The floor is so dirty, the walls are so dirty, the firecrackers are so dirty, hurry up and clean them, hurry up and clean them!"

Jiang Si had left her spiritual energy on the old people, women, and children, so every word they said reached her ears without missing a single one.

She admired these people's ability to fill in the blanks, and also found that space pirates seemed to have an exceptional fondness for imagining things, mainly because once they started imagining, it never seemed to end.

Mie Yin led Jiang Si to his room. As an idol to many space pirates, his room was very large and filled with skeletons.

Various skeletons were scattered around, and his bed was in the middle of the skeletons, with black blankets and sheets. With the skeletons all around, it looked incredibly creepy at first glance.

Jiang Si walked in and looked at the skeleton: "Mr. Mieyin, even if you have a boatload of these things, they're not worth hundreds of billions."

Mie Yin replied truthfully, "Yes, these are just my personal collection, they're not worth much. But I have something valuable, please follow me!"

Jiang Si followed behind him, passing through various skeletons of different sizes, until they arrived at a hidden door. Mie Yin opened the door, which was pitch black inside, and he went inside.

Jiang Si narrowed her eyes and followed him inside.

After I went inside, the door slammed shut.

It was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Jiang Si stood still, closed her eyes, and as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she opened her mouth and said, "Mie Yin, I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be up to something big. Do you think you have a chance of winning?"

Mie Yin's voice rang out, not from inside the room, but through a loudspeaker: "The Princess Consort of the Troya Empire in 3345, Your Highness, can destroy a planet with a wave of your hand, and is also the richest person in the Abel Galaxy. There is indeed no chance of killing you."

"But I have the strongest poison here. If you don't want to be poisoned, communicate with your husband, Marshal Agares, and ask him to move backward, at least 5 light-years away."

Jiang Si asked in the darkness, "What else? I'm the richest man in the Abel Galaxy. You don't need my money?"

Mie Yin said in a deep voice, "I don't need it. I just want freedom, just like 500 years ago. I just want freedom. Money doesn't matter to me."

For him, traveling from 500 years ago to 500 years in the future would only take four or five days. But in those four or five days, the world would change drastically, and everything in the Abel Galaxy would be unfamiliar and terrifying to him.

If they were caught 500 years ago, being locked in cages and watched by others would be a minor matter. Some scientists might even be studying them and trying to find the wormholes where they disappeared.

He is a space pirate, belonging to the stars and the sea, belonging to freedom. He will never be locked up, much less be studied.

Jiang Si retorted in the darkness, "So you're threatening me!"

“No, I’m not threatening you, I’m discussing this with you.” Mie Yin said, “I’ve read your biography, watched the video of you destroying a planet, and know that you have lightning, wind, planting, and healing abilities.”

"I also know that you are the first mother in the Abel Galaxy in nearly 200 years to conceive naturally and have given birth to two children. Your child is over a year old. You don't want to be poisoned and die here without seeing your child. I hope you can accept my suggestion, call your husband and ask him to back down. Let's keep to ourselves. You go back to your Earth, and I will wander my interstellar space!"

Jiang Si scoffed and laughed out loud: "Mieyin, it was you who blew up my space jump tunnel. It was you who piloted the spaceship to block us. It was you who used your broadcast to say that I was surrounded and told me to come to your ship."

"Now you've tricked me into coming here, saying that this place possesses the most powerful poison in the Abel Galaxy, and that you're using this poison to keep things separate from me. On what basis? Is it because you don't know me well enough, or because you think you're truly invincible and untouchable?"

Mie Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "Princess Consort Jiang Si, don't you want your child to be without a mother..."

"Didn't I tell you that I hate being threatened the most?" As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, she swung out the willow branch in her hand. The willow branch, which was wrapped in huge and powerful spiritual power, was like the toughest and most razor-sharp knife in the Abel Galaxy. It directly cleaved through the room wall that Mie Yin thought was the most solid.

The mental power was too strong, and the branches of the willow tree were too tough, sharp, and long. It not only split the wall but also the ground beneath its feet, creating a hole in the entire spaceship.

The spaceship, having suffered such a heavy blow, swayed, and its public address system sounded an alarm—a sharp, piercing alarm.

Mie Yin nearly fell over, his eyes filled with shock. He couldn't believe that Tu Mie Hao's treasure room, which used the most solid wall structure in the Abel system, had been cleaved open in an instant.

No, no, the bottom of the spaceship was also cleaved open, leaving a crack.

Fu Huan, who was bragging to the space pirates, felt the spaceship shake slightly, and then heard the spaceship's alarm. His boasting stopped abruptly, and he stood up abruptly from his chair, saying to the group of space pirates, "It's over, it's over. Your boss is courting death, pulling the tiger's mane."

The numerous space pirates: "!!!!"

No way?

The little princess of the Troia Empire is so powerful, how dare their boss go after her?

Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.

The boss has already seen her information. He's not stupid. Her husband is an imperial prince and marshal, and she's on good terms with many national leaders and monarchs. She herself is a powerful figure. If the boss were to mess with her, how stupid would he be?

They didn't believe it, they absolutely didn't believe it, they would never believe that their wise and mighty boss would do such a thing.

Fu Huan took two steps, then, seeing that no one was following, turned back and snapped, "What are you all standing there for? Come on, lead the way and let's see how your boss is courting death!"

One of the space pirates from the Tu Annihilation ship asked weakly, "Hey, isn't Princess Jiang Si's father your idol our boss? If your daughter tries to beat up our boss, could you put in a good word for her?"

"Yes, yes, long live your idol! Our boss is your idol. If our boss offends your daughter, could you ask your daughter to go easy on him?"

"Your daughter is so capable and of such high status, she won't hold a grudge against our boss or us. As for the money we owe her, we'll try our best to pay it back."

Fu Huan snorted: "It's true that my idol is your boss, but compared to my daughter, my idol is nothing."

“I’ve told you before, my daughter isn’t an unreasonable person. Now that my daughter is fighting with your boss, it’s definitely because your boss started it.”

“A person who stirs up trouble and talks about ‘long live the idol’ is not worthy of being my idol at all. I would never let my daughter suffer because of a so-called idol.”

"You're begging me here? You're dreaming big in broad daylight. Hurry up and lead the way to your boss. He harmed my daughter. Don't say my daughter won't forgive him, I won't forgive him either."

The pirates were taken aback. They exchanged glances, each seeing in the other's eyes what their chances were of defeating the red-haired monster with black teeth.

They saw no chance of victory, because their opponent was Princess Jiang Si's father and a space pirate from the Red Eyebrows Fleet of the Abel System. He hadn't even made a move yet, so they had no idea how powerful he could be.

Unable to defeat him, they could only take him out of the spaceship's lower deck to find their boss and his daughter, Jiang Si.

"Isn't there the strongest poison in the Abel Galaxy?" Jiang Si slowly gathered the willow branches, which stretched across the wall and the ground, making a sound like a saw. She spoke amidst the sound, asking Mie Yin, "Mie Yin, weren't you going to use poison to kill me? Go ahead and use it, I'm waiting."

With a snap, light appeared in the darkness.

Jiang Si had just adjusted to the darkness when the light came on. In the light, she saw Mie Yin and said disdainfully, "Mr. Mie Yin, what's wrong with you? Are you chickening out?"

"Don't be like that, don't back down. Keep challenging me, keep threatening me. At worst, I'll whip you again and split your spaceship in two in the vast universe, causing it to fall back into a wormhole or black hole. Then you can take another 500-year journey and truly escape me, right?"

Mie Yin, his boots treading the ground, walked step by step toward Jiang Si. Her strength and power made him realize the vast differences between people.

He believed that his mental and physical strength was already among the best, that he could roam freely among the stars, fight alone, and rob others, and that he would find it difficult to find an opponent.

With the most toxic gas in the Abel Galaxy at its peak, it would have been easy to use her children to threaten her, subdue her, and make her submit. Unexpectedly, her strength exceeded human limits.

Jiang Si watched as Mie Yin approached her, then gathered the willow branches in her hand. The thin willow branches intertwined together, turning into a willow stick.

Mie Yin walked to her side, and with a thud, his knees hit the ground, kneeling before Jiang Si. He was like a proud wolfhound suddenly turned into a drowning dog: "Princess Consort Jiang Si, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have broken my promise. I shouldn't have threatened you with poison gas. I will take full responsibility for my actions. Please let Tu Miehao go. I will let you do whatever you want with me without any objection!"
