The boy didn't rush to agree, but instead played with the medicine bottle in his hand for a long time before giving Jiang Yao a flippant look: "If you weren't a beauty, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to you!"
......
Two minutes later.
Jiang Yao, who was sitting quietly at the table, had a relaxed expression. She looked at the young man opposite her who was still wearing a bamboo hat and smiled slightly.
"how?"
"With your lustful nature, can you even see clearly through the veil?"
"you..."
Having been exposed, the boy was slightly taken aback, but he generously took off the bamboo hat covering his face, revealing a face that was none other than Zhou Hang!
"oh?"
"I didn't expect you to be so young. Are you even 20 yet?"
Jiang Yao looked at Zhou Hang's face, slightly surprised.
Zhou Hang shrugged: "Only 18!"
"18? You can make such a potion at 18? You're very talented... How about you consider becoming my apprentice?"
Suddenly, Jiang Yao leaned forward, her magnificent chest swaying.
"You! What nonsense are you talking about?"
"This was made by my master! I..."
Zhou Hang tried to argue, but Jiang Yao snorted, "Master? There are only a handful of people who can make a [Perfect Grade] potion in just a few tries! Aren't all of them renowned?"
"Come here! Tell me, who is your master?"
"I..."
"Furthermore, although your medicine is highly pure, it has a distinctly pungent odor! This indicates that the person making the medicine is inexperienced. The person making the medicine is very talented, but lacks formal training, right?"
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes looked Zhou Hang up and down, and at that moment Zhou Hang felt as if he had been seen through.
He sat quietly in his seat, pondering the pros and cons of becoming an apprentice.
"Hello..."
"Kid, I don't care where you're from or who you are!"
"As long as you agree to be my apprentice and help me produce medicine... I'll try my best to fulfill any request you have! At your age, you must be quite fond of [ship girls], right?"
"Become my apprentice, and I, your master... will gift you an [A-rank ship girl]!!!"
!!
The cool voice echoed in the room, and Zhou Hang raised an eyebrow, the dark cloud in his heart instantly dissipating.
A wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Master... what if... I wanted to drive you away?!"
"you!!!"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips, her chest heaving, clearly not expecting this kid to have such great ambitions.
Does he want to steer his old ship?
Little Horse wants to pull a big cart?
A blush of embarrassment rose to her face, but Jiang Yao suddenly laughed: "Alright! You know about the [Azure Domain] Relay Race, right? It starts in half a month. The prize for first place is an 'Alpha Endurance Potion'!"
"That's a [Ship Girl] attribute-boosting potion left over from the vast ocean!"
"If you could win that..."
"What if I open a door for you, Master?"
"Little one! My ship is an S-class pharmacist ship! Can you... handle it?"
Shaking with a majestic aura, Jiang Yao looked at Zhou Hang with disdain, and Zhou Hang immediately slammed his hand on the table!
"You're not allowed to go back on your word!"
"Master, Zhou Hang will now formally become your disciple!"
With a "plop".
Zhou Hang knelt on the ground. Although he spoke words of flattery, his possessiveness was rising as he looked at Jiang Yao, and his desire to conquer was burning within him...
"I'm determined to be a rebellious disciple who defies his master!"
"Master, I've ordered one too!!!"
......
night.
The old servant stood on the deck, looking towards the Merchant Shipping Alliance from several kilometers away on the sea. He was anxious and paced back and forth on the bow.
"It's been so long..."
"Why hasn't the young master returned yet?"
"Could it be...could it be that he's been arrested?"
He's really worried about Zhou Hang...
"Puff puff puff~"
"Puff puff puff~"
Around the desolate sea, several medium-sized ships from the [Ship Alliance] slowly approached the old slave's merchant ship, surrounding him completely!
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
Bright spotlights shone on the old slave's face. On the surrounding ships, harpoons, cannons, and other intimidating weapons instantly illuminated themselves.
A cold, stern voice followed: "Zhou Gongshan, you have disobeyed your master Zhou Hang's wishes and fled without permission! You are hereby arrested and brought to justice, and will be sent to the Zhou Family of the Mountain and Sea Domain to fulfill your bet! Do you agree?"
"Wh...what?"
"I ran away from the agreement? What agreement did I run away from?"
Seeing so many weapons suddenly pointed at him, the old servant's lips trembled.
He couldn't understand how he had broken the law.
"Hmph~"
"Your master, Zhou Hang, said that he lost the bet with Zheng Hao and immediately asked you to go to the Zheng family to keep the appointment. However, you secretly sailed away and ended up here!"
"As a servant, your failure to obey your master's orders is your first crime!"
"You violated the betting agreement; that's your second offense!"
"Now...any further disobedience will result in the ship being shot down!!!"
"This...this...this!!!"
The cold voice echoed on the sea. The old servant collapsed to the ground with a "plop," his old face drooping, making him look as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.
People become shrewd with age.
Why can't he understand?
This little brat Zhou Hang from BYD has really gambled his way to ruin!
If you lose the bet, so be it!
This ingrate, after running away with me, actually turned around and blamed me for the [One-Star Navigator] certificate, even reporting me and claiming I was the one who breached the contract?!
"Grass!!!"
"What an ingrate!!!"
"Zhou Hang!!!"
Coming to his senses, the old servant felt his blood rush to his head, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
He never imagined that the child he had painstakingly nurtured and taught with all his knowledge would be sold by him.
It's a person?!
......
"Rat-a-tat-tat~"
Under the pale moonlight, Zhou Hang watched calmly as the "Shipping Association" towed away a cargo ship in the distance.
"I'm sorry... this old servant!"
"Now that I have a master, you're no longer of any use to me!"
"My master will give me a ship girl, and... in order to participate in the [Azure Domain Relay Race]... I need a clean identity, so... I have no choice but to sacrifice you!"
......

at the same time!
On the way to the sea area of the Merchant Shipping Alliance, Zheng Hao suddenly heard a system notification!
