Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
The more resistant the crowd was to Song Xia before, the more these pirates supported him now. They truly hadn't expected that the internal energy they couldn't understand would have such great power.
People like Asel originally sent their sons over only because of Roger, thinking that a few months of training wouldn't be a big deal, just for fun. Afterwards, with his dedicated teaching, he could still become an excellent pirate.
Unexpectedly, reality gave him such a big surprise!
"Son, how are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable?"
"I don't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, I feel particularly light. I can see and hear further. Even when I turn off the heating at midnight, I am no longer cold."
The weather on Fog Star is very strange. At night, it is shrouded in thick fog and the temperature drops sharply, hence the name Fog Star. Normally, it would be very uncomfortable for people to stay outdoors without heating, but Nikas says that he is no longer afraid of the cold, which proves that his physical fitness is already very strong.
Feeling itchy, Asel wanted to test just how much his son had improved: "Son, do you dare to have a match with them?"
"Of course!" Nicas said, head held high. After studying for so long, he wanted to prove his abilities to everyone.
Rogge chimed in, "Song Ye, come along too."
Song Ye stepped forward. He was much more silent than Nikas, but his face showed no fear whatsoever.
Song Xia joked from the side, "I only taught them how to cultivate internal energy before, and I didn't teach them much fighting skills. Your people should go easy on them."
"Of course, they are still children, so they naturally know their limits."
The two pirates who were sent out were already prepared, thinking they shouldn't go too far. But when they actually fought, they realized they were wrong. These two kids didn't need them to hold back at all; they clearly overwhelmed them.
“Not bad.” Roger nodded in satisfaction. “The chassis is very stable, and the moves are very methodical.”
Asel was overjoyed, after all, his son had performed so well. He was somewhat reluctant when his son was initially chosen. If it weren't for the captain's permission and Xia Song's excellent fighting skills, he wouldn't have let his son come. But he never expected to give him such a big surprise in the end.
Because Nikas and Song Ye attacked simultaneously, there was no fixed opponent. As a result, their teamwork was so seamless that the two pirates were almost unable to defend themselves.
The pirates have always been weaker than the Federation Legion, mainly due to their lack of coordination. This is because the pirates don't trust each other and their teamwork is inadequate. But now, they are seeing a different situation.
However, Asel knew Song Ye's identity, so he was somewhat worried that the person who cooperated so well with his son was him.
Rogge said calmly, "From the moment he arrived on Fog Star, he could only be a pirate. Does he really distrust the medicine he created?"
Asel lowered his head: "Commander, I acted on my emotions. It was because Nikas was involved that I was more worried. I won't do it again in the future."
“Asel, since we want to reach unprecedented heights and no longer be constrained by the Federal Legion, we need to change our previous way of doing things.”
"Yes, Commander, I will follow your orders."
Five minutes later, the fight was still intense. Logically, Nikas and Song Ye were still children, and their physical strength was naturally no match for the two veteran pirates who had been through many battles, but their breathing remained steady.
"That's the best thing about internal energy," Song Xia explained. "The unique breathing and energy circulation methods make those who practice this technique have greater endurance than ordinary people."
Asel said with some regret, "Are we adults really not allowed to cultivate?"
"It is possible, but the results of cultivation do not match the effort put in. Your commander should know this all too well."
Roger nodded: "I haven't cultivated internal energy like them yet, and it's very difficult for me to do so."
The pirates sighed regretfully. If they, as adults, could cultivate, why wait for these children to grow up? They themselves could give the Federation Legion a run for its money.
Rogge looked at everyone: "So, can Xia Song officially become a member of our Fog Sea Pirate Crew?"
"certainly."
Joining them here doesn't mean making Song Xia just an ordinary pirate. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made her harm ordinary people before. She has exceptional abilities and will have a certain say in the pirate crew in the future.
Song Xia and the others bowed and said, "From now on, I, Xia, will definitely dedicate myself to the cause of piracy."
“We’re all family, no need for such formalities.” Roger nodded slightly. “You mentioned the dinner party last time…”
Song Xia chuckled: "How about today? It's such a joyous occasion, I'll treat everyone to a big meal."
Some people who didn't know the inside story cast puzzled glances at her. After thinking for a moment, Song Xia said, "There are a lot of people today, so let's have barbecue."
Grilled food was a common dish for pirates, so they were quite puzzled after hearing this, wondering what kind of feast this was.
It wasn't until Roger had someone bring over the things Song Xia needed, and Song Xia marinated and seasoned them one by one, that everyone realized that barbecue could be eaten this way.
As pirates, they never skimped on themselves. After all, they were doing a dangerous job, and they never knew when they would die. So they lived for the moment. Therefore, every time they returned from a mission, they were surrounded by beautiful women and delicious food. But no matter how much delicious food they had eaten, it was not as good as what they had eaten today.
"I never imagined that these spices, when mixed together, could be used for grilling meat."
"It smells so good, it smells amazing."
"And it's so tender, I never knew that grilled meat could be so tender."
Song Xia continued working, explaining with a faint smile, "When I had nothing to do at home before, I would focus on researching food. I was even thinking of opening a shop, but unfortunately, things changed before I could even start."
"Your man is really unlucky, especially since you're so beautiful. What were you thinking?"
Song Xia snorted: "You're all men, you should understand this better. I still don't understand."
One of the pirates chuckled, comparing himself to the others. Sometimes, falling for a woman really doesn't make sense. Even though he had the money to find other women, when he came back, the first thing he did was go back to his old flame.
Moreover, Xia Song, although skilled and beautiful, has a stubborn temper, as can be seen from our interactions over this period of time. Men, after all, have strong self-esteem, and who doesn't like a woman who speaks softly and coaxes them? Haven't you noticed that Xia Song has been here for so long, yet not a single pirate has bothered her?
So it's understandable why Xia Song's ex-husband cheated on her. However, it's not appropriate to say this in front of Xia Song, so they all just smiled foolishly and buried their heads in their meat, and no one brought up the topic again.
