Yu Xinqiao: ...Hmph, calling me "my boss" so affectionately, you brat, do you even respect your father?
To clarify, he does not have any issues with Miss Sheng.
Thirty-odd young men: ... What a joke! How could they dare to ask Miss Sheng for confirmation? Did they want to die?
However, on the other hand...
Ever since witnessing the lightning strike that struck the Japanese pirates, they felt like frogs in a well, perhaps the outside world was as magical as Yu Guangliang had described.
Humans can control not only wind, fire, water, wood, and earth, but also ice and lightning.
If someone like Miss Sheng can conjure lightning out of thin air, she must be the person with the most extraordinary talent that Yu Guangliang mentioned.
Such people are either chosen ones or outstanding figures; in short, they are incomparable to ordinary people.
Good heavens, they really had their eyes opened today. They even met the celestial beauty, Miss Sheng, and witnessed a magical scene they had never seen before.
Waaah...
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, tears streaming down their faces. After exchanging glances, they knelt down heavily before Sheng Lingwei with a "plop, plop."
Yu Guangliang blinked.
His father knelt down, so why should he?
Forget it, he shouldn't kneel, otherwise his eldest son will definitely be unhappy.
Sheng Lingwei looked at the kneeling crowd, her expression changing. "What are you all doing? The beach is wet, get up quickly."
Yu Xinqiao and the others shook their heads firmly, their eyes filled with gratitude and respect.
"Miss Sheng, thank you so much for saving the lives of everyone in Tianxin Village. If you hadn't come here suddenly, we might not have escaped this calamity tonight."
We will never forget your great kindness and virtue. From now on, our entire Tianxin Village will be at your service.
"Uncle, you're too kind. I did it on a whim and don't need any repayment. Please rise."
As she spoke, Sheng Lingwei raised her hands slightly and used her mental power to help everyone up.
This miraculous scene once again shocked everyone.
But they accepted it well and weren't too surprised, thanks to Yu Guangliang, whose boasts, which he'd been making since childhood, were so deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Although they didn't believe it before, their knowledge has been enriched through subtle influence.
Yu Xinqiao gave his son a meaningful look. He knew very well that Miss Sheng was only being polite to them because of his son.
He felt both proud and heartbroken.
He never imagined that one day he would benefit from his own son's fame. This feeling is so... so strange.
Yu Xinqiao gave a bitter smile and cautiously looked at Sheng Lingwei, "Um, Miss Sheng, you mentioned before that you wanted to do seafood business with us. I wonder if that still stands?"
“Of course it counts!” Sheng Lingwei nodded with a smile and pulled Yu Guangliang to her side. “From now on, Yu Guangliang will be in charge of collecting seafood for me. You can barter or pay with cash if you want.”
Yu Xinqiao's eyes lit up, and he was about to say thank you when his unreliable son started yelling loudly.
"Hey, wait a minute, boss, dad, what are you two talking about? How did I become the person in charge without even knowing it? You have to explain it to me first!"
Sheng Lingwei glanced at Yu Guangliang.
"So you just ignored everything we said? You little rascal, how come you're getting dumber and dumber?"
Yu Xinqiao nodded repeatedly, joining Sheng Lingwei in complaining about their son.
"That's right, Miss Sheng. You don't know this, but my son started talking when he was less than six months old. He was called a child prodigy by the villagers."
I was quite happy at the time, because our Yu family had finally produced a descendant who brought honor to our ancestors.
But to everyone's surprise, apart from his eloquent tongue, he had no real skills and just spent his days fooling around.
Over the years, my wife and I have worried a lot about him, but he just keeps talking without any restraint, only knowing how to brag and not taking anything seriously, and also…”
"Father, please, please stop talking!"
Yu Guangliang couldn't stand his father's criticism any longer and quickly stopped him from continuing.
Yu Xinqiao sneered, "Now you know how to be shy? Why didn't you improve before?"
"Oh, Father, that's because I lacked a backbone. Now it's all right, my eldest son, whom I've been waiting for for so many years, has arrived. You'll see from now on, your son will definitely impress you."
"Tch, you think you can impress me with your dry, stick-like appearance? You're just delusional."
"Father, how could you be so harsh on me?"
"Hmph, I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just telling the truth."
"Father..."
"..."
Listening to the father and son's back-and-forth conversation, Sheng Lingwei and the thirty-odd young men shook their heads with amusement.
The sky gradually darkened.
Sheng Lingwei glanced at the sea and used her mental power to drag the six large ships to the shore.
Shipbuilding technology was not advanced in this world, especially for countries like Chaozhou that did not take any action; they never thought about building ships or training a navy.
Therefore, the villagers of Tianxin Village were extremely excited when they saw these six large ships.
"Miss Sheng, may we board the ship for a tour?"
Sheng Lingwei nodded, "Yes, that's fine. I'll give these six large ships to your Tianxin Village."
The young adults were overjoyed.
"My goodness, Miss Sheng, you are truly generous. Don't worry, we won't take your big ship for nothing."
"Yes, yes, yes, if you need anything in the future, just let us know and we will do our best to meet your needs."
Sheng Lingwei smiled and shook her head, "There's no need for that, everyone. I'm just passing on what I've learned. As long as you're happy."
Everyone: ...They were so happy they were practically going crazy.
Yu Xinqiao, no longer bothering with his verbal sparring with Yu Guangliang, hurriedly led the young men to tour all six large ships.
The number of Japanese pirates who were struck by lightning was 230.
They each carried sharpened weapons, and the hold was filled with empty bags, making it clear that they were planning a large-scale murder and looting operation.
Everyone was still shaken.
Fortunately, Miss Sheng was there, otherwise their lives would have been in danger.
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They threw the Japanese pirates' corpses into the sea to feed the sharks and put away their weapons.
While they were busy, Sheng Lingwei used her mental power to explore the surrounding islands and gather some useful information.
Sure enough, they found the Japanese pirates' residence on a large island, but this island was not the land of cherry blossoms.
Rather, it was a stronghold they had at sea, mainly to facilitate their landing, killing, and looting.
As for the looted supplies, they would keep a small portion for themselves and send the rest back to Japan once a month.
The reason so many beasts were mobilized tonight is that they're planning to pull off a big heist.
Because they will be transporting a batch of supplies back to their country the day after tomorrow, and it just so happens that their dog Emperor's birthday is coming soon.
They went to great lengths to gain the favor and recognition of the dog emperor.
Unfortunately, he encountered Sheng Lingwei, who arrived unexpectedly.
They will ultimately face certain death.
