Chapter 62 100,000 Ransom
"That's me."
Chen Qing said calmly.
"ah?"
The man with the buzz cut looked blank and let out a stunned "Ah." He had finally managed to catch someone to ask, but he ended up asking the person in question.
"I am Chen Qing."
Chen Qing looked at the man with the buzz cut and repeated it again.
"you--"
"you--"
Chen Qing and the man with the buzz cut spoke at the same time, but before they could finish speaking, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and slammed the man with the buzz cut into the concrete ground.
"You're Chen Qing?"
The figure interrupted their conversation, slowly stood up, and looked directly at Chen Qing.
"Boss, boss, hurry, hurry—"
The man with the buzz cut was slammed hard into the concrete, the force of which cracked the surrounding cement.
"He looks like he's about to die."
Chen Qing pointed to the buzz-cut man being stepped on by Shang Jia and kindly reminded him.
"Ah, don't worry, I won't die. You haven't answered my question yet."
Shang Jia waved his hand dismissively, saying that if he could kill Yu An with something like this, he wouldn't be a combatant in the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew.
"Aaaaaah—you bastard boss! I'm going to kill you, aaaaaah!!"
Hearing Shang Jia's cold and ruthless words, You An, who was originally embedded in the cement, suddenly looked up and cursed loudly!
"What a joke!"
Shangjia had anticipated Yu'an's move. With a swift and agile movement, he landed smoothly.
"You're not dead."
He curled his lip, saying nonchalantly.
"You, you, you—"
Yu An's fingers trembled as she pointed at Shang Jia, unable to speak. However, she couldn't refuse Shang Jia in front of outsiders, so she could only leave angrily.
That damn bastard, he's not eating tonight!!
"You're Chen Qing, and you're the one who escorted Daliya?"
Shang Jia crossed his arms and stared at Chen Qing with complete frankness, without any attempt to conceal his true intentions.
"yes--"
Before Chen Qing could finish speaking, Shang Jia interrupted him. Shang Jia was not polite at all and casually sat down on a round stone pillar by the dock.
"Tell me, what kind of person is this Dalia?"
"If you want to ask me whether she's worthy of being Moana's daughter, I can only tell you—"
Chen Qing smiled slightly.
“Dalia is intelligent and ambitious. She is outstanding. If Moana has such a daughter, she is honored.”
"What did you say!"
Shang Jia suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with a fierce light as he looked at Chen Qing dangerously, as if he would tear Chen Qing apart alive at any moment!
Chen Qing looked at her calmly, without the slightest fear.
Moana was a competent pirate, but she was definitely not a competent mother.
Although this was no big deal for the pirates, Chen Qing was on Daliya's side.
Dahlia has never enjoyed the glory of being a mother, yet now she is putting herself in danger for the sake of her so-called mother.
Moana wasn't even qualified to be in a position of authority, and Chen Qing had no feelings for her.
"Hey, hey, hey—you can't make a move here!"
Seeing that Shangjia was about to make a move again, the short-haired woman in the distance rushed over and wrapped her arms around Shangjia to try to stop her.
Shangjia is a good person in every way, except that his temper is too strange and can change in an instant.
However, this is not Shangjia's fault; everyone in the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew knows what's going on.
This is related to Shangjia's profession. Don't be fooled by Shangjia's broad shoulders and narrow waist, or his strong appearance that could kill a tiger with one punch.
In reality, Shangjia is a mixed-race voodoo witch from a mysterious tribe in the Misty Sea.
Of course, Shangjia's combat skills are also extremely strong, but she rarely shows off her witch abilities in front of others.
"Think about it, Chen Qing's high praise for Dalia means that Dalia won't tarnish Lady Moana's reputation, doesn't it?"
"She will definitely become a great pirate like Lady Moana!"
"She will be Lady Moana's pride."
"Right, Chen Qing!"
The short-haired woman frantically blinked at Chen Qing, begging him to just say yes.
"Um."
Chen Qing responded, and unexpectedly, Shang Jia was actually calmed down.
The members of the Dragon Pirate Crew seem to have personalities that don't quite match the rumors.
"By the way, may I ask if you rescued a group of homeless people at sea?"
Chen Qing looked at Shangjia, who had been calmed down, and asked.
"You know him?"
Shangjia lifted her eyelids slightly, and the tattoos on her body seemed to move as well.
Chen Qing was certain she hadn't misread it, but she didn't ask.
They were just strangers who met by chance.
"Chen Qing—Brother Qing—we're here!!!"
As they were talking, Zhao Fuli and a few others suddenly popped their heads out from behind the ship's wall and waved excitedly at Chen Qing.
"Yes, we really do know each other."
He put his hands in his pockets and said lazily to Chen Qing.
"Since we know each other, let's give the ransom of 100,000 goldfish."
"??"
A question mark slowly appeared on Zhao Fuli and the others' faces. 100,000 goldfish? How come they didn't know they were so valuable?
And wasn't it agreed that they would be allowed to disembark as soon as they arrived at Sapphire Island?
"..."
"Excuse me, goodbye."
Chen Qing nodded slightly and turned to leave without hesitation.
"Just kidding, just kidding."
The short-haired woman quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying that such a large group of people couldn't stay on their boat forever.
It is estimated that Shangjia is still depressed about Moana's death.
"You can come down now."
Upon hearing the short-haired woman's words, Shangjia curled her lip and strode towards the tavern with an air of indifference.
Drinking heavily in broad daylight is very characteristic of pirates.
Led by Zhao Fuli, nearly a thousand people disembarked from the Demon Dragon Pirates' ship, including many children.
To be honest, this number exceeded Chen Qing's expectations.
The Demon Dragon Pirates actually saved so many people?
"Do you think there are a lot of us?"
Zhao Fuli is a sweet-looking girl, but she is over 1.7 meters tall. She just looks a bit soft.
"Shu Yin, Zhang Xiaohong, and I have already discussed it and are planning to buy a boat and some supplies to go back to that deserted island and rebuild it!"
Zhao Fuli said confidently to Chen Qing that although some of them wanted to rely on Chen Qing, they were all taught a lesson by her and Shu Yin.
Actually, their group is quite capable, like her, Shu Yin, and Zhang Xiaohong.
If it weren't for the bad luck of running into the Thunderbird Pirates last time, who knows who would have won if it had been another small or medium-sized pirate crew!
"But that island is deserted and not suitable for planting."
Chen Qing knew about the deserted island that Zhao Fuli had mentioned; its geographical location was extremely advantageous.
However, there must be a reason why such a prime location has not been developed by other forces.
"If it's that Sister Chen Qing, I might know a little about that deserted island near the Pink Sand Islands."
Listening to Chen Qing and Zhao Fuli's conversation, Lin Deng quietly poked his head out and spoke softly.
"That island is a route that the annual Gemstone Hurricane will inevitably take."
"In a few days, it will be time for the Gemstone Hurricane to break out."
