A new day has begun.
Before nine o'clock, a brilliant golden sun gradually rose over the sea.
Despite living in a basement on the ground floor, Lu Mingming was still so dazzled by the light that he couldn't open his eyes.
But this was a rare good night's sleep I've had recently.
The previous week, she had to deal with various creditors and thugs almost day and night, as well as her parents' funeral, and didn't get a good night's sleep.
Now I finally have some energy, and all my fatigue has vanished.

Sensing the movement of the person beside her, Hongyu slowly opened her eyes, her thick, curled black eyelashes fluttering like wings.
Good morning!
Even after living with Lu Hongyu for many years, Lu Mingming still felt a sense of novelty in his heart.
After washing up in the crowd, the two of them stood in place and waited, imitating the actions of others.
This was Lu Mingming's first time being sold into slavery to a pirate fleet. She was confused about the future and had no idea what kind of predicament she would face.
The first person to arrive was a little girl whom Lu Mingming had never seen before.
She heard from the people around her that the person grew up in a place called Xingluoqibu and his name was Lu Guo.
Perhaps because the other person was young, Lu Mingming inexplicably felt a slight liking for him.
"Where's the girl who was holding the cub yesterday? Come out for a moment."
Lu Guo stood at the door and shouted loudly, his eyes scanning the crowd.
Upon hearing a description that sounded like it was of himself, Lu Mingming quickly raised his hand to acknowledge it.
Lu Guo said "Oh" and said, "You don't need to hold your cub... uh, come out for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingming squatted down and whispered in Hongyu's ear to comfort her: "Sister is going to take care of something. You stay here obediently and don't talk to strangers. Sister will come back to keep you company in a little while."
Lu Hongyu squatted for a few seconds, then nodded sensibly, his expressionless face making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Lu Mingming, used to this, quickly walked towards the door.
"Hello, is there anything I need to do?"
She took the initiative to ask.
Lu Guo looked Lu Mingming up and down with disdain, and finally coldly replied, "Come with me and we'll talk."
The other person was like a mature little adult, with no trace of the innocence of a little cub in their every move.
Lu Mingming remained silent, following behind Lu Guo step by step toward their unknown destination.

As expected of the rumored third-party force, they are on par with the official alliance, aren't they?
After taking the elevator and passing through countless corridors, Lu Mingming's impression of the scattered stars became even more profound.
Every piece of gold scattered on the floor wherever he went made Lu Mingming feel that buying her life would be a piece of cake.
In that case, it's not worthwhile for someone as insignificant as her to personally intervene.
The question is this: why would Lu Mingming, a nobody, specifically seek her out?
With no answers to his many questions, Lu Mingming followed Lu Guo to the fourth floor.
Although the fourth floor is also the staff accommodation area, it is hundreds of times better than the basement.
Each person had a single room, and Lu Guo led Lu Mingming directly to the room at the end of the corridor.
An elderly woman opened the door.
The old woman had graying temples and a kind face, and she held a pot that Lu Mingming had never seen before.

"You're here."
The old woman forced a smile and led Lu Mingming through the door.
Lu Mingming smiled politely and turned her gaze to the room—five girls of similar age and each with their own charm sat on the sofa, each holding a small cup in their hands, and a faint fragrance filled the room.
"Everyone's here."
Lu Guodao.
"You will train here for five days. On the last day, Boss Lu will check your results. Those who perform well will join the troops to attend the official meeting with the Alliance."
After saying that, Lu Guo gave a cold laugh.
"Don't embarrass yourself or lose face easily, and don't even think about running away. Your family members—your younger siblings, your elderly parents—are all in our hands. The only way to keep your family members alive is to stay here and obey us."
After saying this, Lu Guo turned and left.
No wonder they were looking for her!

Lu Mingming suddenly realized.
With Hongyu as her bottom line, she naturally couldn't abandon Hongyu and run away alone.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingming suddenly realized: I was really too shallow. How could there be any particularly good people among the space pirates?
With this thought in mind, Lu Mingming followed the old woman to sit on the sofa.
The old woman squinted and smiled as she poured her a pot of water.
The water in the cup had a yellowish hue, and upon tasting it, it was bitter yet had a hint of sweetness. A few scattered withered grasses floated at the bottom of the cup.
Soaked in leaves?
Lu Mingming, pretending to be an innocent young girl, asked shyly, "Excuse me, what is this? It tastes very strange."
The old woman wasn't annoyed at all. She calmly packed her things and replied, "This is called tea, and it's very precious."
She put down the pot after she finished speaking.
口口五六三七四三六七五
tea…
Another one that sounds very familiar…
Lu Mingming's hand froze in mid-air.
She continued to delve deeper into her thoughts but found nothing. Instead, it felt like stepping on a landmine, and she began to doubt herself once again.
What's wrong with me lately? It's been so strange.
Lu Mingming shook off her thoughts, put down her teacup, and softly said "thank you," focusing all her energy on her conversation with the old woman.
"You don't need to learn too much. I will teach you everything from basic etiquette to self-defense skills and regular cooking training. How much you learn is up to you."
