When the group arrived on the pirate planet, the people around them looked at them with strange eyes. This was because the pirate planet was particularly hostile to outsiders. Everyone looked at them with wary eyes.
The human landscape on Pirate Star is completely different from other planets. A bandit-like atmosphere permeates the air. As its name suggests, it is not an easy place to get along with. Of course, it's not that the people look fierce or menacing, but because they make a living by robbery, most of them live a life of constant danger, which gives them a chilling aura.
The town where the group settled was quite bustling, with people coming and going, some setting up stalls, and others hawking their wares.
"I thought pirates were all one-eyed and looked fierce, but I didn't expect them to be just like people."
"You're really ignorant. Although this planet is called Pirate Star, it's only been renamed recently. Before, it was a barren planet, used to exile people who had committed serious crimes. They survived here, but their banditry remained, and they gradually made a living by robbing. There are probably strongholds of these people in the surrounding star systems, otherwise, the barren land here wouldn't be able to support them. Another point is that the people here don't value human life, which is why people dislike this place."
“We’re being watched.” Sui Yi put down her teacup, glanced around discreetly, and said to the group.
"Indeed, and there seem to be quite a few. Do we look like pushovers?" The Third Prince suddenly sneered, openly sizing up the group.
"You're wrong. We don't look like easy targets, but rather like a fat sheep." Wen Xuerou couldn't help but laugh, dazzling everyone's eyes.
"Uh...that's true. But whether they can hit us or not depends on their skill."
Suddenly, a muscular man stood up and slammed his hand on the table. Everyone around him ran away, leaving only Sui Yi and a few others, as well as the pirates.
The burly man, with a fierce expression, swaggered over to the group, stepped onto the stool, and looked down at them. Sui Yi and the others went about their business casually, completely ignoring the burly man.
"What brings you here, sir?" Before the two girls and Nie Shangheng could speak, the Third Prince was the first to ask.
"Brothers, judging from your clothes and appearance, you're definitely not your average rich people, so we hope you can help us out." The big man's words were completely out of character, quite humorous.
"Oh dear! Unfortunately, you've come to the wrong place, brother. We've already spent all our money, so we really don't have any more. Brother, what do you think we should do?"
"Third Master, money is no problem, but those two girls are so hot, how about we snatch them back and make them our wives? That would be a great achievement." Before the big man could speak, one of his henchmen began to leer at the two girls, his lust was simply outrageous.
Upon hearing this, Nie Shangheng's eyes turned red, his anger surging. His teacup wobbled, striking the henchman who had just spoken squarely in the eye. A loud, pig-like scream erupted from the man, startling everyone around.
I quickly looked over and saw the guy rolling on the ground, covering his eyes with his hands, and I could vaguely see blood dripping out.
A commotion erupted around them, and the pirates took a few steps back, becoming even more wary.
"Brother, which gang are you from? Even when beating a dog, you should consider who its owner is." The burly man frowned. Although his subordinates deserved what they got, this was still incredibly humiliating.
"I don't care who you are; if you make a mistake, you must be punished. Watch your mouth!"
"Sir, you injured my men. What's the matter?"
"What, do you all want to end up like him?"
“Brother, we actually came to your place on important business, so we came here. Please take this money as payment for that person’s medical expenses!” Sui Yi held Nie Shangheng down and said to the big man, taking out some money from her bag and putting it on the table.
"Uh... →_→ This doesn't make sense. Usually, she's the one causing trouble. When has she ever been so kind?" The Third Prince couldn't understand and looked at her with suspicion.
"No problem, no problem!" Perhaps intimidated by Nie Shangheng's move, they dared not act rashly.
"By the way, I'd like to ask you something. Are there any unusual or illogical things on your pirate planet?"
"Well... no! As you know, there are a lot of problems on our pirate planet. Because the place is barren, there are basically no ways to make a living. So, most people choose to become pirates."
"By the way, does your pirate group have many people?"
"Yes, basically a third of the planet's population has joined the group, except for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled."
"Could you take us to meet your boss? I have something to discuss with him. Don't worry, this is a very good thing, and it's quite a big business opportunity. If this business goes well, it will benefit everyone in the end," Sui Yi said persuasively.
"This..." Although tempted, I still hesitated.
“Listen to me. This cooperation is truly a win-win situation for both sides. We just want to know if there are any other strange phenomena on your planet, but as you can see, we are few in number, so we need to rely on your pirate group to investigate this matter.”
"Then what are you talking about? I... can I tell you?"
"Sure, but we need to find a less crowded place. There are too many people here, and I'm afraid what they say might cause panic, which would have a significant impact on people's lives."
"Alright! I agree." He then turned to the people behind him and ordered, "Men, carry him back. Give him all this money."
Sui Yi and the others paid the money and got up to follow the big man.
"Hey! What kind of scheme are you plotting?" The Third Prince slowly walked up to Sui Yi and asked in a low voice.
“We are relatively few people, and if we were to investigate, it would be a waste of a lot of time. But there are many people here, and they have great strength. By relying on their strength, we can achieve the goal with half the effort.”
"Tsk tsk, I thought you wanted to kill the pirate leader and take over for yourself."
"Screw you, it's already a huge effort for me to raise one, let alone a whole bunch, that would kill me." She rolled her eyes and said resentfully.
The Third Prince chuckled smugly. Who told her to be so blind as to pick up a giant baby who followed her everywhere, eating her food, wearing her clothes, and using her things? He never imagined Nie Shangheng was the kind of person who happily lived off his wife, always hiding behind her and giving Wen Xuerou a wistful glance. That was the difference. He wished he had a wife like that too, but the other man was still clueless, driving him crazy. He was stuffed from eating dog food every day.
