Chapter 281 Trying to Save Yourself

In the cramped cabin, Chen Ning, Nu Jiaolong and the captured women from her water gang were working overnight to prepare food, drinks and other things for King Zhen's wedding.

They had been searched when they were captured and brought aboard, so the pirates were not worried that they could do anything. Apart from having someone guard the cabin on the lower level, they were not too strict.

Nu Jiaolong frowned and said, "They are going back to Japan, Princess. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to get off the ship."

She felt a little guilty: "I thought I saved you, but I didn't expect that I hurt you."

Shen Ning shook her head: "You saved me."

In the previous situation, if she had not hidden on the Japanese pirate ship, she would not have been able to hide at all with Chen Nian's ruthless method of burning all the small boats at the ferry.

While cleaning up the dishes with Nu Jiaolong and the others, Shen Ning's mind was turning rapidly. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked Nu Jiaolong: "You said that the Japanese pirates looted your water village... Where are the things in the village?"

Nu Jiaolong said in a daze: "They are all on the boat."

Shen Ning asked: "You hijacked my boat before, and there were medicinal herbs on it. You returned half of it... What about the others? Are there any other medicinal herbs?"

Nu Jiaolong nodded quickly: "There are still some."

A strong hope surged in Shen Ning's heart: "Can I touch it in?"

Nu Jiaolong pursed her lips and shook her head: "There are Japanese pirates guarding over there, I'm afraid it won't be easy..."

At this time, a woman stood up and said, "I have a plan. The Japanese pirate guarding the warehouse tried to take advantage of me during the day. I can lure him away."

Before Chen Ning could speak, the woman smiled and said, "We were kidnapped here, how can we keep our chastity? Today we are preparing for the wedding of the Japanese pirate prince. Those pirates dare not cause trouble. After the wedding tomorrow, those pirates will drink and we will be in trouble..."

The woman clenched her fists and said, "It's inevitable. I'd rather sacrifice my life and try to help the princess... The princess is also trying to save all of us."

Shen Ning knew that what the woman said was true.

Today we have to cooperate with Chen Nian, and prepare for the princess's wedding... Tomorrow is the last chance. If we hesitate now, we will miss this only opportunity.

"I'm doing this for myself..."

After saying that, the woman went straight out of the narrow hatch. "I'll go now. Princess and Gang Leader, follow me... Once the pirates fall into our trap, you two will seize the opportunity to find what we need."

Chen Ning stopped being pretentious and immediately prepared her pockets with Nu Jiaolong, then followed the woman out...

A moment later, the Japanese pirates guarding the warehouse were led away by the woman. Shen Ning and Nu Jiaolong hurriedly went into the warehouse cabin and quickly found the medicinal herbs that had been looted by the Japanese pirates and brought onto the ship.

The two of them moved quickly. Shen Ning searched for Nu Jiaolong and soon filled two large bags. They quickly got out of the cabin and left... Not long after, the woman from before also came back.

At this moment, another woman next to them suddenly spoke up: "Ma Xiangxiang... I was wrong to call you a slut in the Water Gang before. I won't call you that anymore from now on."

"Yes, I won't scold you anymore."

The woman who had just sacrificed herself to lead away the Japanese pirates straightened her hair, curled her lips and said nothing, but Shen Ning saw that after she turned her face away, tears clearly flashed in her eyes.

The others were busy preparing food. Under the pretext of cooking the vegetables and stewing the meat, Shen Ning began to add the herbs in according to their categories...

They worked all night long, and only at dawn did a Japanese pirate throw down a basket of steamed bread with a malicious grin, and before leaving, he pinched the chest of the woman near the cabin door.

The woman dared not speak out, and after the Japanese pirates left, she couldn't stop crying and was filled with fear.

They knew that if they couldn't escape today... they would all end up in a situation worse than death...

Seeing that the Japanese pirates were about to leave, Shen Ning suddenly said, "Brother, I can dress up as a bride. I heard that the prince is getting married today. I wonder if she is willing to dress up as a bride from the Great Xuan Dynasty?"

The Japanese pirate turned around quickly, and when he saw a dark, dirty face, he immediately said with disgust: "Get lost!"

Shen Ning smiled and said in a flattering tone: "Brother, why don't you ask the prince? If the prince really needs it, and he is happy on the wedding day, maybe it will be good for you, right?"

The Japanese pirate thought about it and felt that it was true.

Moreover, their King Zhen seems to think highly of Prince Daxuan... If he dresses well and the prince is pleased, then he will definitely be promoted.

"Okay, I'll go ask right away. If His Majesty is happy, that's fine. But if His Majesty is angry, I'll throw you, this ugly bastard, into the sea to feed the fish."

Chen Ning kept thanking him in a flattering manner.

She felt that there was a high possibility that the prince would be willing to dress up as a bride of Daxuan Dynasty... because she seemed to admire the Daxuan Dynasty very much.

Even when it comes to having children, she said she wants a child with the noble bloodline of the Daxuan royal family, and she is very satisfied with Xiao Nanrong, so Shen Ning thinks there is a great possibility that she will agree.

Sure enough, not long after, the Japanese pirate came back, looking very happy, and dragged Shen Ning out.

"Go get to work and dress up for the prince... If the prince is satisfied, I'll make sure you have a good meal. If you don't do your job well, I'll skin you alive!"

Shen Ning responded repeatedly with a timid and flattering look.

Giving a soothing look to the worried Nu Jiaolong and her group of women, Shen Ning was taken out of the cabin and brought to the room on the second floor where King Zhen was.

Shen Ning had seen the Japanese princess last night. In the daytime, her face looked pale and bright red, similar to the geisha makeup she had seen in her previous life, which made her look even more weird.

"Can you do the makeup for a bride of Xuan Dynasty?" King Zhen looked down at the thin and dirty woman in front of him.

Shen Ning hurriedly bowed in response.

"Alright, then you will be the one to dress me up... If the queen likes your makeup today, I will reward you handsomely!"

Shen Ning immediately showed an expression of great joy and responded repeatedly.

At first, King Zhen was obviously on guard, and it was unclear whether he was on guard against this person or worried that this ugly freak's makeup wasn't good enough.

But slowly, when King Zhen saw that the person in the mirror had changed, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

It can be seen that she still looks the same as before, but after the change she does look a bit like a woman from Daxuan... at the same time, she has not lost the charm of her maritime country.

Shen Ning deliberately put on makeup like this... It can cover up some of it, but you can still see King Zhen's original appearance.

"Your Highness, next is the hair accessories."

Shen Ning bent down and picked up a hairpin with a smile, and saw that King Zhen narrowed his eyes imperceptibly and watched her every move through the bronze mirror...

As if she didn't notice, Shen Ning carefully and earnestly put on the jewelry for Zhen Wang. After a while, looking at herself becoming more and more gorgeous in the mirror, Zhen Wang finally let down her guard and let this ugly thing adjust her hair accessories.

"Your Majesty is truly a beauty."

The ugly guy still doesn't forget to flatter.

"You have good skills. Stay by my side from now on."

Shen Ning was immediately pleasantly surprised and quickly bowed to express her gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness..."

King Zhen nodded with satisfaction and looked at himself in the mirror, looking very satisfied.

Chen Ning carefully adjusted her loose hair accessories... It was at this moment that King Zhen suddenly felt that something was wrong.

She suddenly raised her eyes, and suddenly met the ugly monster's grinning white teeth... The next moment, several hairpins were suddenly pressed down, piercing several acupuncture points on his head. King Zhen suddenly opened his eyes wide, but could no longer utter a sound...
