"Boss, this is really a treasure."
One of the pirates exclaimed in surprise, staring blankly at what was inside.
The pirate captain then took it seriously. He walked towards the chest, and when he saw the dazzling array of things inside, he spat out the foxtail grass in his mouth and muttered, "Damn it, this is really a treasure!"
Baili Wanwan smiled sweetly, put one of the strings of pearls around her neck, twirled around in front of the pirate captain, and then spoke in an even sweeter tone.
"Aren't they beautiful? These things are quite valuable; they could probably exchange them for all the people in our village, right?"
Upon hearing this, the pirate captain fell into deep thought.
He was determined to get these treasures, but he also had to keep these people around.
If word gets out that the treasure is in their hands, it will likely attract a lot of attention, and could very well lead to their deaths.
Only the dead can keep secrets!
"You're quite obedient, delivering these treasures to us as you asked. That's truly remarkable. However, we are far from worthy of these things, so we have no choice but to ask you to hand over your lives."
Upon hearing this, everyone was horrified and stood ready to flee.
Only Baili Wanwan remained calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by any threat.
She curled her lips into a cold smile, mimicking the storyteller of the town, before putting her hands on her hips and saying to the pirate captain, "I advise you not to cause trouble for no reason. Since you have received the goods, you should release the people as instructed."
Her words were quite audacious; others wouldn't dare to communicate with these pirates, but Baili Wanwan did just that.
"Oh? Looks like you little brat have a death wish!"
The pirate captain originally quite liked the cute and innocent girl, Baili Wanwan.
If I raise her, I might even make her his concubine.
But after hearing Baili Wanwan's unpleasant words, the pirate captain became somewhat annoyed.
He finally managed to lift Baili Wanwan up, his face full of ferocity, looking like he was about to crush her to death.
"You better watch out, or I'll crush you as easily as crushing an ant."
Just as he was about to strike, someone rushed over.
Wan Suizhou looked somewhat cautious; this was the first time Baili Wanwan had ever seen her grandfather speak so carefully.
"Sir, she is just a child and doesn't understand anything. She has offended you, so please don't take it to heart."
Hearing Wan Suizhou speak to people in such a way, Baili Wanwan was naturally indignant.
She said, "Grandpa Wan, please don't apologize to this person. We haven't done anything wrong. They are the ones who are wrong."
The pirate captain grabbed Baili Wanwan by the neck.
Baili Wanwan instantly felt suffocated. She coughed heavily, wanting to retaliate, but Wan Suizhou was too close and she was easily caught in the crossfire.
In the end, he could only withdraw the strength from his palm.
This time, the pirate captain also released Baili Wanwan.
"I see you're just a young girl, so I'm not going to stoop to your level and spare your life for now. You'd better shut up and not say anything that might upset me."
The pirate captain began to warn Baili Wanwan.
Originally, Baili Wanwan thought she would leave after exchanging the items, but then she changed her mind.
These pirates have committed numerous atrocities; there is really no need to let them roam free.
"Actually, Wanwan knows where there is treasure. As long as you let us go, I will take you to find other treasures." Baili Wanwan's face was so serious that no one could help but believe her.
Surely a four-year-old wouldn't lie.
And you won't lose anything by going!
The pirate captain believed it.
After speaking to Baili Wanwan in a gentle and polite manner, they finally reached an agreement.
The pirates began preparing the ships and escorting the previously captured people onto them one by one.
Where is the treasure?
The pirate captain looked into the distance.
The relics from the previous dynasty's shipwreck are located nearby, but they lack the capability to salvage them.
Salvaging relics from the previous dynasty is risky. If the officials of the court find out, they might wipe out all the pirates.
Isn't it wonderful that there are other treasures now?
And according to the little girl, there are indeed quite a few.
Baili Wanwan searched the map, and after a long time, he finally saw blue light shimmering on the sea not far away.
If I'm not mistaken, there should be some treasures scattered there, but probably not many.
"It's in the north, in the bay, I can guarantee there's treasure there. Send your men to the sea to retrieve it, they're sure to see it."
The pirate captain was skeptical; this little girl was indeed quite cunning.
Last time, he listened to his slander, and as a result, the entire ship was in trouble.
The boat came to a steady stop when it reached the location indicated by Bailiwanwan.
Baili Wanwan looked down at the sea: "There should be a lot of gold down there. If we salvage it, we'll really become rich. You must trust Wanwan."
Under the sunlight, the sea surface shimmered and reflected some extraordinary light, which was quite beautiful.
"Are the villagers in your village all good swimmers?"
Pirates don't blindly form groups. Each pirate leader has a strategist by his side. This strategist is cunning and treacherous, and has his own way of dealing with all kinds of situations.
So his words reminded the pirate captain before he went into the water.
"Boss, this situation is extremely dangerous. We have to send their men into the water."
The villagers hated the pirates, but they were powerless to do anything about it.
Although there weren't many pirates, they were all skilled in martial arts, far beyond the capabilities of ordinary villagers.
Baili Wanwan shook her head: "Our villagers are already exhausted, and it would be dangerous for them to go into the sea. But look at you all, you're all so strong and healthy, going into the sea will definitely be no problem for you."
What does it mean to be fat and thick-skinned?
The pirates, of course, didn't understand. They just looked at the little child and assumed that he was praising them, so they were all very happy.
"Your people should go to sea!" The strategist remained unmoved.
This strategist was young, but he had a handsome appearance, making him seem out of place among the pirates.
With no other option, they had to find a few villagers who were good swimmers to go into the water.
This time, Baili Wanwan did not argue or fight to go into the sea together.
After all, she had to keep a close eye on these pirates to prevent them from doing anything outrageous again.
Only after the villagers went into the sea did Baili Wanwan gather her palm power.
But Baili Wanwan has some worries.
Most of the villagers were present, so it's highly likely that innocent bystanders will be caught in the crossfire.
Baili Wanwan felt remorse in his heart.
But there's no better way right now, and she will do everything in her power to protect them.
Then, the sea surface was turbulent, and a column of water shot directly onto the ship.
