Chapter 130 Pirate Attack

In the dead of night, the only thing left in the fishing village of Donghai was the tranquility of the waves crashing on the shore.

However, this tranquility was ruthlessly shattered at three-quarters past midnight by a sharp, piercing gong.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

"Pirates are coming! Pirates have landed! Run!"

A piercing scream rang out in the village, and the once pitch-black village was instantly lit by scattered fires, followed by chaotic sounds of chickens running, dogs barking, and women and children crying.

In the small courtyard where Shen Jin rented.

Jiang Mianmian was sleeping soundly, hugging her silk quilt. In her dream, she was surfing on the back of a giant lobster, waving a fork in her hand, ready to eat.

Suddenly, a commotion abruptly pulled her from her sweet dream.

"Hmm...who is it...in the middle of the night..."

Jiang Mianmian sat up groggily, her hair a mess like a bird's nest, her morning grumpiness building up.

[So noisy!]

Don't they know beauty sleep is important? Who's disturbing the peace? Don't they have any sense of public decency?

Shen Jin was already dressed and carrying a long sword when he pushed open the door and came in.

"Don't sleep."

With a calm and composed expression, he said, "The pirates have entered the village."

"pirate?"

Jiang Mianmian was stunned for a second, then anger rose from her heart and evil thoughts arose in her mind.

"Well, I didn't even go looking for you, but you've come to my doorstep first?"

[Dare to disturb my sleep? Dare to steal my seafood?]

She jumped off the bed with a "whoosh," grabbed the steel fork used for spearing fish from the corner of the wall, and charged out with murderous intent.

"Where is your son?" she asked.

“In the front yard.” Shen Jin followed behind her. “Ying Yi is watching, and she’s very excited.”

...

forecourt.

Four-and-a-half-year-old Tuantuan was peering out through the crack in the door, clutching his gold brick tightly in his hand. His big eyes showed no fear, but rather a kind of fervent excitement that seemed to say, "Finally, there's going to be a fight!"

"Mother! Lots of bad people have come!"

Tuantuan pointed outside, "They were carrying big knives and they even stole Er Ya's salted fish from next door!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing "stealing salted fish," Jiang Mianmian became even angrier.

[That took Er Ya half a month to dry! That's my food reserve!]

This is intolerable!

At this moment, dozens of pirates wielding steel knives and with menacing faces were wreaking havoc on the threshing ground at the village entrance.

The leader, a one-eyed man, kicked over an old fisherman's fish basket, stepped on the old man's chest, and cursed viciously:

"Old man! Hand over all the money! And that... I heard a wealthy man from out of town has come to the village? Where is he staying? Lead the way!"

The old fisherman was trampled until he vomited blood, but he gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.

"court death!"

The one-eyed man raised his steel knife, ready to strike.

"stop--!!!"

A sharp shout rang out like a thunderclap in the night sky.

The pirates were startled and turned around to look.

From a nearby alley emerged a young woman wearing… pink pajamas and holding a steel fork. Behind her followed a cold-faced man in black, and a… little kid carrying a gold brick?

"Oh?"

The one-eyed man paused for a moment, then grinned lewdly, "So this is the young lady from that wealthy family? She's quite a looker! Dressed like this in the middle of the night, is she here to greet her brother?"

"Hahahaha!" The surrounding pirates burst into laughter.

Jiang Mianmian stood at the edge of the threshing ground, coldly watching these ignorant fools.

[Welcome to us?]

I've come to see you off in your final moments!

Instead of rushing forward, she turned to look at the fishermen huddled in the corners, trembling and afraid to fight back.

"Fellow villagers!"

Jiang Mianmian gathered her strength and shouted, "Are you just going to watch them steal your fish? Trample your nets? Burn your boats?"

"That's the harvest you've worked so hard for all year! That's the food for your whole family!"

"These robbers want more than just money; they want your lives! If they succeed today, you'll all starve to death tomorrow! You'll be begging for food!"

Upon hearing this, a spark of anger gradually ignited in the fishermen's initially fearful eyes.

yes.

That's their lifeline!

“But…they have knives…” someone whispered.

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Jiang Mianmian slammed her pitchfork on the ground, sparks flying everywhere. "I have a pitchfork too! Everyone has fishing nets! Oars! These landlubbers can't possibly cause trouble on our turf!"

"Listen to my command! Let's fight them!"

To survive, you must resist! This is the law of the apocalypse!

Perhaps it was Jiang Mianmian's strong aura, or perhaps she was driven to a dead end.

"Let's give it our all!"

A young fisherman rushed out, his eyes red, holding a sharpened bamboo pole, shouting, "Give me back my salted fish!"

"Let's give it our all!"

"Kill these bastards!"

More and more fishermen emerged from the darkness, carrying harpoons, oars, and even large stones, and gathered behind Jiang Mianmian.

One-Eyed Dragon felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the flock of sheep that had suddenly "rioted."

"Damn it! They're so ungrateful! Brothers, kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

The two collided instantly.

"Tuantuan! Go!"

Jiang Mianmian gave the order.

"Okay!"

Little Tuantuan couldn't hold back any longer. He charged out like a cannonball, targeting the lower body.

"Look at the bricks!"

"Smack!"

Just as a pirate raised his knife, a gold brick smashed into his toe, causing him to kneel down in pain.

Immediately afterwards, Tuantuan rammed into his arms, sending the 180-pound man flying.

Jiang Mianmian is even fiercer.

Although she doesn't know any sophisticated martial arts, she's strong!

She wielded the steel fork in her hand like a windmill.

"Get out of here!"

She flicked a pirate's knife away with her fork, then slapped him so hard he spun around three times, two teeth flying out.

"Who dares to touch my salted fish!"

Jiang Mianmian moved with the ease of an empty field, and wherever she went, the pirates fell like bowling balls.

Shen Jin stood on the perimeter, not making much of a move. He was only responsible for using stones to knock away those sneak attacks aimed at Jiang Mianmian, and also protecting the unarmed elderly and children.

Watching the princess dominating the crowd while shouting "For the sake of salted fish," Shen Jin's lips curled into a helpless yet indulgent smile.

This woman.

No matter where you are, you can always distort the style of the artwork.

Under her leadership, the fishermen also displayed amazing fighting power.

"net!"

Jiang Mianmian gave the instructions.

Several experienced fishermen worked together seamlessly, and a huge fishing net descended from the sky, directly covering four or five pirates.

"beat!"

A group of women rushed up with oars and started beating the pirates, making them cry out in pain.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Those dozens of once ferocious pirates were now all lying on the ground groaning. Some were tangled up in fishing nets, some were knocked unconscious by oars, and the worst off was the one-eyed pirate.

He was being ridden on by Tuantuan, with a gold brick pressed against his forehead, and he was so scared that he wet his pants.

"No...don't kill me..." the one-eyed man pleaded, "I'm the second-in-command of the Black Shark Gang..."

"Second-in-command?"

Jiang Mianmian walked over and stomped on his face. "I don't care who you are! If you dare to steal from me... no, if you dare to steal from the villagers, you'll pay the price!"

"Guards! Tie them all up! Send them to the authorities tomorrow to collect the reward money!"

"Yes! Goddess!"

The fishermen cheered with joy.

This battle not only saved the village but also captured the pirates; it was a resounding victory!

It was almost dawn.

Jiang Mianmian yawned and tossed the steel fork to the fisherman next to her.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

She turned to look at Shen Jin, opened her arms, and gave him a "want a hug" look:

"I'm exhausted...and still sleepy...Chen Jin, carry me back."

Fighting is really physically demanding.

My beauty sleep is completely ruined. But... this bounty should be pretty good, right? Hehe.

Shen Jin stepped forward and picked her up in his arms.

"Okay, I'm going back to catch up on my sleep."

"Um..." Jiang Mianmian snuggled against him, "Er Ya said she'd give me those dried salted fish as a thank you. Remember to have Ying Yi take them."

Shen Jin: "..."

"Okay, take it."

The family of three departed like heroes, amidst the admiring gazes of the villagers.

However, Shen Jin glanced back at the calm sea.

Black Shark Gang?

Second-in-command?

It seems the waters of the East China Sea are quite deep.

Since they've offended his princess, then this Black Shark Gang...

There is no need for them to exist anymore.
