"They're still not back? Then there's only one way." Hearing this, Wang Han sighed. He glanced at Smoker, who was flying towards them at high speed in the distance, and thought to himself: Don't blame me if you have any psychological trauma, I really don't want to use this cheat (afraid of offending my eyes).
"A marriage charm." The next moment, Wang Han's eyes flickered, and he saw red threads throughout the town. Red threads of varying lengths were wrapped around all kinds of people and creatures. One end was tied to their hands or feet, and the other end extended into space, connecting them to their other half. There were also some people whose red threads did not connect into space, because they did not yet have a other half.
The red thread wrapped around Smoker's hand was about five meters long. After five meters, the other end of the red thread extended into space, connecting with his destined other half. The red thread that had not yet entered space represented how long it would take for Smoker and his other half to be together. The shorter the red thread, the shorter the waiting time (the red thread could also extend).
"I'm sorry." Looking at Smoker's red thread, Wang Han apologized in his heart, stretched out two fingers, and made a scissor gesture in the air. The next moment, Smoker's marriage thread was cut off out of thin air. Wang Han reached out and grabbed another red thread in the air on the other side. Without even looking at the source of the red thread, he cut it off as well.
Wang Han used his cheat to rapidly extend the red thread, moving his hands in the air as if he were re-tying the red thread for Smoker, binding the two extended red threads together. The two red threads connected and disappeared back into the space. Even if Wang Han wanted to see the red thread hidden in the space, he would have to use his cheat to an even greater degree.
Seeing that the red thread that Smoker hadn't yet hidden in the space was getting longer, Wang Han used the ability of the Marriage Charm to quickly shorten the part of the red thread that hadn't yet hidden in the space to the length of a thumb.
The next moment, Smoker's heart skipped a beat, as if a major event concerning his life was about to occur nearby. After hesitating for a moment, he abandoned Wang Han and flew off to the side. (The shorter the portion not hidden in space, the closer the destined romance.)
"Uh, it really wasn't intentional." Only then did Wang Han notice that the owner of the red thread he had just casually caught was sweating and shouting to Ruoqi, "Ruoqi Gao, don't wait for Zhefu, set sail immediately and leave this place right away."

"Colonel Smoker!" On the other side, Tashigi, who was chasing Smoker, hesitated for a moment when she saw Smoker suddenly turn and fly to the side, then quickly chased after him. After all, Smoker was her superior. Seeing this, the other marines could only helplessly chase after Smoker. Without Smoker around, they dared not chase after Wang Han.
However, everyone who caught up with Smoker regretted it; the scene before them was simply too horrible to look at.
"My dear, marry me. From the first moment I saw you, I felt you were my angel. The instant I saw you, I thought you were so beautiful. The more I look at you, the more beautiful you become. My eyes are only for you, and only for you. Please marry me." Smoker held a white rose that turned into smoke, knelt on one knee, and looked at the ugly creature in front of him with a fawning expression and hearts in his eyes. It was a fat pig covered in mud.
"Hey, Colonel, please calm down. This is a pig, and a boar at that." The pig farmer next to him looked at Smoker and carefully advised him. If Smoker hadn't been wearing a naval colonel's uniform, he would have chased him away.
“What’s wrong with pigs? Love knows no race, and it has no gender,” Smoker retorted, kissing the big, fat pig.
"Ugh, the déjà vu is too strong, I can't stand it."
The pig's owner, unable to bear watching Smoker about to kiss the pig's spitting mouth, ran away.
"Colonel Smoker, please calm down! While we admire your desire for a love that transcends race and gender, please don't taint our eyes!" Fortunately, the Marines arrived in time and quickly restrained Smoker. "Please consider the honor of the Navy."
"You can't stop me, no one can stop me from being with the one I love." Smoker struggled, and then transformed into elemental form, turning into smoke as he continued to gently kiss the pig.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the pig fell to the ground, twitching twice before dying. With the pig's death, the red thread in Smoker's hand also snapped.
Smoker was stunned, and the navy was stunned.
"You don't care about your reputation, but my pig does!" The owner returned the gun he had taken from a navy officer to him, crying and cursing, "You bastards, get out of here!"
"Captain Smoker." Seeing this, the navy men breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Smoker away.
"Thank you," Tashigi said as she ran over, gave the man some money, and quickly chased after him.
"My breeding boar!" The man cried as he watched the departing navy officer. If such a thing really happened, he would probably be killed to silence him for the sake of the navy's reputation. He had no choice.
"What on earth happened to me? What did I do?!" Smoker stared blankly at the sky. He had just fallen hopelessly in love with a pig, a boar at that. The Navy had completely lost face. Listening to the surrounding Navy members' uncontrollable complaints, Smoker was too ashamed to face them. His face turned into a cloud of smoke.
Actually, Smoker was lucky. The pig was killed, the red thread broke, and he came to his senses. His love at first sight was just an infatuation, without a strong emotional foundation. If the pig hadn't died, as time went by, he would have fallen deeply in love with the pig, truly unable to extricate himself.
"Colonel Smoker, what's next? Should we continue the pursuit?" Tashigi asked Smoker. After this incident, they didn't know what to do either.
"Let me calm down by myself." Smoker's distraught voice came from the smoke around his face, his whole being vacant.

"Wang Han, what's wrong?" The next morning, Zhefu, who had been specially summoned by Wang Han, looked at Wang Han, who had been training at the bow of the ship all night, and asked curiously.
"It's good to exercise," Wang Han replied, "so I won't get too curious and start having wild thoughts or dreams that might make me throw up."
"He vomits?" Zhefu asked, puzzled. He figured only Wang Han and Smoker, among other Marines, would know why.
The weather suddenly changed; the sky darkened. Did you bring an umbrella?
“A storm is brewing.” Zhefu glanced at the sky and said to Wang Han, “I’m going to check on Ruoqi Gao.”
“No need to go, we have guests,” Wang Han said. “And they’ve arrived just in time.”
