Chapter 204: Ghost Rumors



Boom boom boom.

I knocked on the door and said, "Song Yingchun, come out and open the door."

Although I couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, I could clearly distinguish the footsteps of Song Bailu and Song Yingchun. I could recognize who was coming towards me at once. Fortunately, the two of them were obedient. The footsteps that sounded a little dragging must be Yingchun. As long as Song Yingchun stood in front of me and I threatened her, Song Bailu would not dare to do anything to me.

Yingchun obediently opened the door, and I immediately pulled her over and pointed the arrow at her neck before I dared to go in. Bailu looked at me, frowned, and said sadly: "Brother Zhou Bo, how long are you going to do this? Is this the only way we can get along from now on?"

"Get along? No, I can't get along with you. When Yunwen gets better, I will take her away. I don't want to stay with a witch and have my life threatened all the time." I said.

"You think so, have you asked sister Yunwen what she thinks?" Bai Lu asked.

I sneered and said, "Don't forget what you did. Yunwen is in a very bad condition now and is unconscious. How can I ask her?"

"Zhou Bo, I'm feeling better now. It was Sister Bai Lu who took care of me and woke me up. Please put down your bow first, and let's have a good talk, okay?" Yunwen said.

Only then did I notice that Yunwen was leaning weakly against the bed. It turned out that she had woken up.

"Yunwen, we can't let them hurt you and me again. I can't let go of the arrow, otherwise we will be controlled by the Gate of Life and Death again. If you get hit once, have you thought about the consequences? I don't like gambling, I just want to protect your life and mine." I said.

Yunwen exhaled, forced herself to get up, and slowly walked towards me. I wanted to help her, but had to hold Yingchun hostage to prevent Bailu from using her blood pupils against me. Until Yunwen walked in front of me, gently took my right hand, and put my palm on her warm cheek, I immediately threw away the arrow for fear of hurting or scratching her.

Yingchun took this opportunity to run away quickly and hid on Bailu, her eyes full of tears.

It's dangerous. This is equivalent to handing your life over to two unreliable Song sisters again.

But Yunwen comforted me so tenderly and lovingly that I couldn't help but listen. How could I bear to reject her? Alas, it's true that even a hero can't resist a beautiful woman. Even if I think carefully, Yunwen can easily remove all my defenses with one move.

"Don't be like this, they are all scared. Making them sleep in the tunnel last night was already a punishment for them. It's enough. Bai Lu didn't want to get the cursed eyes. If you keep treating her as an enemy, everyone will be nervous and mentally collapse sooner or later. Relax, relax, believe me, okay?" Yunwen said to me with all her strength.

I sighed, then shouted, "Okay, for Yunwen's sake, I'll let him go for now, but I have to make it clear that if anyone dares to use witchcraft against our own people again, it will be a declaration of war. If they are not friends, they are enemies, and I will kill them."

Yunwen immediately covered my lips with her fingers, smiled and shook her head, and comforted me affectionately: "Okay, don't scare them anymore. We talked about it this afternoon. They will never dare to mess around again. Besides, even if Sister Bailu has some magic skills, it can't fill your stomach, right? Without you, we wouldn't be alive today. It's all because of your skills. You can find food, arrange your life, and resist strong beasts. If she really does something to you, wouldn't she be courting death?"

I turned to look at Bailu and Yingchun. They also had tears in their eyes and nodded at me.

"Is it just a matter of a few compliments?" I said, but I had already put the bow down.

"Brother Zhou Bo, I promise that I will never do this to any of us again. I regret very much about what happened to Sister Yunwen. I have begged her forgiveness a hundred times today. Please trust me one more time, okay? If you are angry, just hit me like the first time I made a mistake. Even if it is just a warning, I will accept the punishment, okay?" Bai Lu said hurriedly.

"Okay, the parties involved haven't said anything, so there's no point in me worrying about it. I hope you can live up to Yunwen's trust this time and not cause any more trouble." I said.

"Promise not!" The Song sisters answered in unison, extremely excited, while I remained 100% unconvinced.

I took out the black scabbard from my pocket and threw it over. Bai Lu caught it and looked at me in confusion.

"Today when I was outside, I saw an ugly monster being bitten to death. After that, I planned to let its soul return to its hometown, so I sent its body back to the sea. Later, I don’t know if it was its last wish, but a wooden box floated to the beach. When I opened it, I found this dagger sheath inside. I guess it matches the dagger in your hand, Yingchun." I said.

Bai Lu handed it to Yingchun, who threw away the wooden sheath she had made, inserted the round dagger, and found that it fit perfectly, without any error.

"It's dead? It's really dead? How could it be so stupid? How could it kill itself! Isn't it invincible? Isn't it very capable? It actually died? This ugly thing is ugly and stupid, so stupid!" Yingchun shouted, extremely excited.

Since we were talking about this, I helped Yunwen back to the bed, called them all over, and told them what had happened today. I also took off my cloak which was covered with the blue blood of the mermaid and showed it to them as evidence. One reason was to make them believe what I said, and the other was to let the Song sisters judge the current situation carefully.

Without the mermaid, they can only rely on me for all matters of survival in the wild. They can't do anything to me or disobey me too much. And since they want to please me, they can't do anything to Yunwen. My words prove that they are meant to serve as a reassurance.

Yunwen didn't include this in her previous analysis, and the reason I'm stating the facts now is precisely to expand and extend the interests involved, so that Bai Lu can completely dispel any thought of threatening the two of us with the Gate of Life and Death.

After saying this, Yingchun fell silent, looking unhappy, while Bailu also sighed.

As for my twitching eyelids and the strange noises I heard coming from the abyss on my way back, I ignored them. It might just be my own sensitivity anyway.

Yingchun kept putting the dagger back into the sheath, then pulling it out, then putting it back in, and then pulling it out again, continuously, making a continuous noise, and her face was as pale as death, but she was unwilling to say another word.

I looked at the scabbard and said, "Oh, right, on the box I saw, there was something like Black Dog Tear written on it. It seemed that the dagger had been used to cut the box. This is what I saw and heard today."

"Black Ghost?" Yunwen asked carefully.

"Yes, our flight attendant has the standard pronunciation. This is a person's name, right?" I asked.

However, when I asked casually, I saw that Bailu and Yunwen had already widened their eyes. They looked at each other, as if they knew what the other was thinking tacitly, and that understanding was like seeing a ghost.

If Yunwen was alone, I might think that Yunwen was sick again, but Bailu was also so surprised, what does this mean?

"What happened to you two?" I asked.

"Sister Yingchun, can you let me see your dagger?" Yunwen asked.

Song Yingchun threw the dagger over to me listlessly. I quickly caught it, fearing that it would stab Yunwen. I then handed it to Yunwen and asked, "What happened?"

Yunwen took the dagger and looked around, her face immediately darkened. Bailu also moved closer, took it and looked at it, and seemed to be infected with the same uneasiness.

"What's going on? Are you all possessed?" I asked.

At this time, Yunwen looked at me, with an unspeakable fear in her beautiful eyes, and said: "The Ghost Dragon Totem, this is the token of the 'Black Ghost', which came from the most feared pirate group in the world's seas in the Middle Ages. The current Black Skull Organization is its faithful imitator, but the former is the overlord of the sea. If you see a sea ghost, anyone will die. Compared with it, the latter is like a jumping clown, a small witch compared to a big witch."
