Yu Guangliang protested, feeling wronged.
"Father, I'm not a bad son. It's just my nature. Please don't ruin your son's reputation."
"Shut the hell up!"
Yu Guangliang: ...At this moment, he clearly felt the bloodline suppression from his old father.
Yu Xinqiao felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, his temples throbbing uncontrollably. He regretted not hitting his good-for-nothing son harder than he had.
He took a deep breath and, with a guilty and uneasy expression, continued to speak to Sheng Lingwei:
“Miss Sheng, please don’t worry. Although my family is poor, I will work hard to earn money to repay your dress. I only ask that you give me some time, as I cannot raise the money in a short period of time…”
"Uncle, please stop talking."
Sheng Lingwei smiled and stopped Yu Xinqiao, "Uncle, Guangliang is right. I was just joking with him. You don't have to take it seriously."
“This, I…” Yu Xinqiao was dumbfounded. He first looked at Sheng Lingwei, then at his son who was nodding vigorously, his lips twitching uncontrollably.
Haha, young people really know how to have fun!
Seeing this, the other young and middle-aged men breathed a long sigh of relief; their hearts, which had been pounding with anxiety, could finally be put at ease.
To be honest.
Their dilapidated village has so much property that it's worth less than a few hundred taels of silver. Forget about property, they're starving to death.
Damn Japanese pirates!
If it weren't for their occasional raids, they wouldn't be living this life of uncertainty, barely having enough to eat.
Sigh, how long will it take for them to get through this miserable life?
Yu Guangliang chuckled, puffed out his chest proudly, and walked over to Sheng Lingwei with a beaming smile, formally introducing her to everyone present.
"Hehe, Dad, uncles, brothers, let me formally introduce you to the girl beside me who is heroic, beautiful, stunningly beautiful, extraordinary, intelligent, resourceful, and skilled in both literature and martial arts... She is my boss, Yu Guangliang."
Our bond is deep and unbreakable. I would risk my life for him, even my life.
Sheng Lingwei: ...Guangliang, it's a waste of your talent that you don't use to be a storyteller.
Yu Xinqiao and others: ...Good lad, you've rattled off a whole bunch of nonsense. You really are the braggart of their village.
Yes, Yu Guangliang has had memories of his past life since birth, but unfortunately he cannot cultivate superpowers that would make him incredibly powerful.
Thus, with his mouth that seemed to know everything from five hundred years ago to five hundred years into the future, he successfully won the title of the village's undisputed braggart king.
Mainly!
Dude, what you're saying may be true, but you need to consider the ideas of the ancients and say things that they could accept.
But you insist on relying on your status as a time traveler, viewing the ancients from the perspective of someone from the future, and you want to exaggerate your abilities to the extreme.
People in this world aren't stupid.
Who would believe what you're saying?
Of course, Yu Guangliang's family was an exception; out of kinship, they unconditionally believed what he said.
But their belief is useless; the key is that others don't believe it.
Therefore, although Yu Guangliang was decent in terms of fighting skills, in front of the villagers, he was a boastful person whose words and actions were unreliable.
Although it's unreliable.
But he is quite popular.
Who can blame him? He's so good at sweet-talking people. He can make everyone, from the elderly to children, laugh heartily.
Over the years, I've lived a carefree and leisurely life.
But overall, the people in his village were all kind-hearted.
If it were anyone else, they would have treated him as an outcast, either tied him up and burned, or thrown into the water and drowned.
This can be considered a case of fools having good luck!
Sheng Lingwei smiled and nodded to everyone.
"Hello everyone, my name is Sheng Lingwei, and I come from the Northern Qi Kingdom. I have come here mainly to eliminate the Japanese pirates you speak of, and also to reunite with Brother Guangliang."
Yu Xinqiao: ...To be honest, young lady, you are truly brave, still emphasizing your purpose even now.
The thirty-odd young men were so shocked by what they heard that their jaws nearly dropped.
Wow, they didn't hear wrong, did they?!
This girl said she wanted to eliminate the Japanese pirates, but she was not from Chaozhou, but from the Northern Qi. So why did she travel thousands of miles to Chaozhou to eliminate the Japanese pirates?
Did the Japanese pirates have an irreconcilable hatred for her?
Yu Guangliang looked at Sheng Lingwei with a pitiful expression, his head drooping, "Boss, boohoo, I'm so heartbroken, you didn't even come here specifically to see me, boohoo..."
"Smack!"
This tone gave Sheng Lingwei goosebumps, and she slapped Yu Guangliang on the forehead, saying, "Just talk, don't act like a woman acting all coquettish."
Yu Guangliang felt even more aggrieved. "Boss, I came here specifically to find you, and this is how you treat me? My heart is shattered into pieces."
Sheng Lingwei rolled her eyes mercilessly.
"It's okay. Even if you're shattered into pieces, I can glue you back together. Even if you commit suicide, as long as you have a breath left, I can bring you back to life."
"Waaah..."
Yu Guangliang immediately clutched his heart and burst into tears, but after wailing for a long time, it was all bark and no bite.
The exaggerated and pretentious performance gave everyone present goosebumps, and they were so disgusted they could practically dig their toes out of their skin.
It's confirmed: Guangliang is as unreliable as ever, even more so than Yue Mingxi.
At least, Yue Mingxi is a normal person.
Sheng Lingwei rubbed her forehead and glared helplessly at Yu Guangliang. "Stop howling. While I'm in a bad mood, just say what you want."
"Hehe." Yu Guangliang immediately stopped faking his crying and hurriedly massaged Sheng Lingwei's shoulders and back in a flattering manner. "Boss, I knew you understood me better than anyone else in this world."
Sheng Lingwei smiled slightly, her tone neither warm nor angry, "Enough with the nonsense, time is precious."
"Hehe, boss, I don't really have any other requests, it's just that I haven't eaten pork, chicken, beef... in a long time."
"Okay, I understand."
Sheng Lingwei expressed her understanding, saying that her younger brother lives by the sea and has no shortage of seafood, so he craves other meats.
Are there any other requirements?
Yu Guangliang chuckled and shook his head, "Without the boss, you know, I'd better just indulge in my appetite."
Yu Xinqiao and others: ...You do have self-awareness, not eating this or that, so you're as thin as a stick.
You could probably be blown away by a sea breeze.
Sheng Lingwei nodded, her sharp gaze fixed on the gradually darkening sea, a bloodthirsty smirk curling at the corner of her lips.
"Alright! I'll clean up this bunch of trash first, then I'll get you some meat."
"Okay, boss."
Yu Guangliang withdrew his hand and followed Sheng Lingwei's gaze. He saw five or six large ships on the sea, slowly sailing towards the shore.
His expression immediately turned cold, and he said to Yu Xinqiao, "Father, the Japanese pirates are about to land. Tell the villagers to get ready. I don't know what day it is today, but those Japanese pirates have sent out a whole six large ships."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xinqiao and the others were shocked.
"Village chief, there are six large ships. There must be no fewer than two hundred Japanese pirates. We have less than one hundred able-bodied men in our entire village. What are we going to do?"
