His children and mother were on board, along with many people who had followed him for years, even though the pirates couldn't see the ship.

But they have cannons, and if they decide to use them indiscriminately, there is a high chance they could damage the ships or even injure the people on board.

Shen Muyang and Ning Bao exchanged a glance, then gestured for each other to separate.

Ning Bao was responsible for knocking out the pirate leader on the deck, while Shen Muyang was responsible for knocking out the people in the cabin.

These pirates had roamed the seas for years, and each of them had a life on their hands.

The couple didn't hold back. They drugged them before they could even react.

What should have been a sure thing turned out to be unexpectedly resolved by Ning Bao.

After Ning Bao released the sleeping potion, the pirate leader felt dizzy for a moment, but he didn't completely lose consciousness. Instead, he forced himself to stand up and looked in Ning Bao's direction.

"May I ask if you are a human or a ghost?"

Ning Bao was stunned for a moment. She hadn't expected that so many sleeping pills wouldn't knock the person out.

Ning Bao has always been a polite person, so she couldn't ignore the person who asked.

Ningbao proudly raised her chin.

"I am here to take your life for those you have hurt."

The pirate leader carefully determined the direction Ning Bao was in.

"So that means you're a human? How about you show yourself, friend?"

I see that you are a capable person. Why don't you join us or cooperate with us?

"It's fate that we met. As long as you agree to work for me, we'll split all the profits fifty-fifty. What do you say?"

"Not good at all!" Ning Bao looked at the pirate leader as if he were an idiot. She didn't want to waste any more words with him. In fact, Ning Bao preferred to deal with the ghosts of such wicked people.

That would be more reassuring, just like now, the pirate leader said he wanted to win him over, but his hand was already tightly gripping the dagger at his waist.

She believed that once the other party pinpointed her location, they would deliver a fatal blow.

At this moment, Shen Muyang arrived. When he saw the pirate leader standing in front of Ning Bao, he gripped the dagger in his hand and slit his neck without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, Ning Bao quickly collected the souls of the pirates into the Soul-Locking Talisman.

I plan to have a good talk with them when I have time.

The main enemy they faced in Nanluo City this time was the pirates at sea.

But they knew nothing about pirates, and she believed that she might not be able to extract anything useful from them.

After dealing with everyone on the ship, Shen Muyang told Ning Bao to wait aside while he threw the pirates' corpses into the sea one by one.

Shen Muyang had no intention of letting Ning Bao do the work of moving corpses.

Once they were sure it was completely safe on board, the two of them showed up and gave their boat a proper tour.

"Brother Muyang, can you sail a boat?"

Shen Muyang stood in the boatman's position, diligently fiddling with the device.

"Probably."

When you were kids, before you went out to sea to exterminate the alien races, there was a period when you sent people from the army to Izumo Village to practice swimming. They always came by boat.

I often went into the cabin to learn how to sail from the boatman.

As Shen Muyang spoke, he started the boat, and they slowly sailed towards their own vessel.

Ning Bao watched for a while and was relieved to find that Shen Muyang really knew how to drive.

Ning Bao wasn't idle either; she went to the deck and took down the strange flags that the pirates had put there before.

She was very puzzled by the pirates' aesthetic sense; they had to hang skull patterns on perfectly good ships.

She even saw real skulls on the ship, so it seems these pirates died with no reason to complain.

Once they caught up with his ship, Shen Muyang simply stopped the ship and had his men modify the pirates' vessel.

Because the pirate ships are so distinctive that most of the people living along the coast of Nanluo City have seen them, they are afraid that when the ships dock, it will cause panic among the people.

With everyone's help, the pirate ship was completely transformed into a merchant ship.

They sailed for another five days before finally arriving at Nanluo City.

There was no official pier here; they simply found a suitable spot on the beach to moor their boat and disembark.
