Chapter 5: Difficult to Speak (Part 1)
"Why don't I demonstrate it for you!" Tang Lie said cunningly
Tang Lie was knocked to the ground by her strike, a trace of fresh blood oozing from the corner of his lips
Tang Lie inquired with concern: "What is wrong with you?"
Mei Xi forcefully tapped the muzzle of the gun against Tang Lie's forehead twice, then lowered the gun again: "Since you are unwilling to speak the truth, I will not force you, Yan Yue! He is strong and robust; it would be a pity to keep him locked in the lower hold. Starting tomorrow, let him be responsible for cleaning the deck!"
Tang Lie whispered: "No!"
Tang Liexin knew this was a great opportunity to retrieve the handgun, and in a moment of inspiration, he said: "This is my equipment for fitness!"
Yan Yue nodded with difficulty, enduring the pain
Yan Yue's heart shuddered, and her gaze revealed a hint of compassion.
Mei Xi handed the pistol to her: "Yan Yue, throw this into the sea."
Tang Lie felt a heavy heart; from Mei Xi's question, he could infer that he was not in the Land Empire, but rather in a place likely hostile to it. This was a serious predicament. If he were truly regarded as a spy, he would inevitably become a prisoner, and it could very well lead to losing his head.
A female warrior beside Yan Yue let out a cry, and she immediately realized her indiscretion, hurriedly covering her mouth, her pretty face turning bright red
Tang Lie followed the source of the fragrance and saw Mei Xi elegantly seated on a carved wooden bench, dressed in a pink silk gown. Her curves were graceful, and her skin was as smooth and flawless as milk, leaving Tang Lie feeling dizzy and mesmerized.
While lost in thought, Yan Yue suddenly pressed her hands against her temples, her delicate brows furrowing, revealing an expression of intense pain
Although Tang Lie has to perform heavy work every day, he is undoubtedly luckier than those imprisoned Bit people. At least he can breathe fresh air and sneak a glance at the beautiful warrior women on the ship while working
As Luo Cai swung the whip down again, unexpectedly, Yan Yue seized her wrist
Tang Lie noticed her charming face turning red, and in her beautiful eyes, he could see fine blood vessels. He lowered his voice and asked, "Are you experiencing a headache, feeling swollen, and having a dry mouth?"
Fitness equipment? Mei Xi pondered over this unfamiliar term, struggling for quite some time to grasp its true meaning
Luo Cai was keenly aware of Tang Lie's change; she turned around, her face turning pale with fright. She reacted quickly, raising her palm and striking Tang Lie's face fiercely: "You despicable and filthy creature, how dare you assault me!"
Tang Lie turned around, but his gaze did not dare to meet Yan Yue directly: "I have already said that those things were given to me by others, yet you all do not believe me."
Yan Yue softly said: "Are you really a spy for the Land Empire?"
Macy was very alert; she put the handgun away and said, "You can just gesture with your hand!"
Macy said sternly: "Speak! Where on earth did you obtain this parchment?"
Tang Lie was lost in thought when, unexpectedly, Mei Xi threw a parchment roll at him, hitting him squarely on the nose. Although the parchment roll was not heavy, the impact was both sharp and painful, causing Tang Lie's tears to flow uncontrollably.
Upon seeing that parchment, Tang Lie immediately understood that his belongings must have been taken by Mei Xi. This parchment was given to him by the old white ape for the purpose of reporting back to the Emperor of the Land Empire. However, noticing Mei Xi's somewhat unfriendly expression, it would be wise for him to exercise caution.
Macy was not wearing any socks, and her smooth ankles were generously displayed before Tang Lie's eyes, with her toes glistening, truly a sight of utmost beauty
Yan Yue said softly, "The headache has struck again, but it is nothing serious; I will endure it and it will pass." She had suffered from headaches since childhood, experiencing several episodes each year. This time, the pain was particularly severe, and Yan Yue gripped the ship's railing with both hands, her forehead already drenched in fragrant sweat
Yan Yue hesitated for a moment, yet still extended her delicate wrist towards him. Tang Lie grasped Yan Yue's wrist, as smooth as cream, and his heart raced uncontrollably. After much effort, he managed to calm his mind and discern that Yan Yue's pulse was light and floating. He had already grasped the situation regarding her illness. He asked in a low voice: "Is your tongue red, with a yellow coating? Is your urine brownish-yellow?"
Mei Xi made a gesture, and Yan Yue took out Tang Lie's satchel, dumping its contents in front of him
Tang Lie opened his eyes, only to see Yan Yue standing not far behind Luo Cai, observing their actions with a cold gaze
Tang Lie suddenly realized that the action he had inadvertently made was rather ambiguous, and it was bound to lead this beautiful female warrior to associate it with something personal. A lewd smile involuntarily appeared on his face. Indeed, women's imagination is rich; what was clearly a weapon could surprisingly be associated with something else by them.
Tang Lie wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said softly: "Thank you"
Luo Cai understood immediately upon hearing Yan Yue's words that she had already seen everything clearly. She quickly changed to a pitiful expression and said, "Sister, I was just playing around a bit, teasing this guy. Please do not tell the master about this..."
With a sharp crack, Tang Lie felt a searing pain on his back as a beautiful warrior fiercely lashed a whip against his bare shoulders
What is your name? Yan Yue asked softly
Mei Xi saw Tang Lie's appearance, glanced at the handgun, and suddenly understood something. She angrily exclaimed, "Shameless thing, you actually dare to play tricks on me!" Embarrassed and furious, she raised the handgun and pointed it at Tang Lie's forehead
Meixi shook her head: "The most likely possibility is that he is a hybrid born of the Holy Land people and other races. However, from this parchment, it appears that this person should have a considerable connection to the Lande Empire. I will investigate thoroughly. If it is confirmed that he is a spy sent by the Lande Empire, I will not hesitate to kill him"
Mei Xi saw Tang Lie's eyes darting around, occasionally glancing at the strange iron object. Doubts began to arise in her mind. She stood up and approached the handgun, grabbing it with one hand, but she did not know the proper way to hold a gun, pointing the muzzle towards herself
"And * Picture * Book Tang Hunter! The Tang of the Tang people, the Hunter of the Hunter!" Tang Hunter unconsciously developed a fondness for the gentle Yan Yue, thinking to himself, if only he had encountered the gentle and lovely Yan Yue at the hot spring back then, he surely would not have ended up in his current predicament
Yan Yue said expressionlessly: "Do not approach this slave again in the future. As for how to do it, I have my own measure in mind"
Yan Yue's delicate face instantly flushed to her ears. She never expected that Tang Lie would actually reveal such a secret matter. However, what surprised her greatly was that Tang Lie's description was completely accurate, perfectly matching her symptoms. Blushing, she shyly nodded and softly murmured, "Mm!"
Mei Xi looked at Tang Lie with utter disdain; she had never encountered such a lecherous person. Clearly trapped in a dire situation, he still remained incorrigible.
Tang Lie deliberately pretended to be confused, asking: "What is this?"
Mei Xi laughed disdainfully: "The reason I call him a person from the Holy Land is merely to deceive that cunning little man, Ma Xingkong. Although his physical features resemble those of a person from the Holy Land, his skin color is far from the fair complexion typical of them; instead, it presents a shade of blue I have never seen before, and his accent carries a strong northern flavor"
"What is this?" Maisie asked curiously
Tang Lie shook his head: "I am fine, thank you for your concern!" Seeing Yan Yue's appearance, the desire that had just subsided in his heart surged up again. Tang Lie hurriedly gazed towards the sea, using it to divert his attention, not knowing when his suffering would come to an end
The intense sunlight pierced through, making Tang Lie unable to open his eyes, while the briny sea breeze invigorated his spirit. However, his attention was soon drawn to the fragrance emanating from the women around him. Ever since he was injected with a large dose of Spry by Yin Tianlong, his sense of smell had become exceptionally sensitive, allowing him to easily discern the source of the fragrance.
Yan Yue saw his disheveled appearance and felt a surge of sympathy in her heart. She gently said, "If you are in great pain, you should return to your cabin to rest and recuperate."
Tang Lie could not help but curse: "Women from any place are just big-breasted and brainless individuals. If I were some damn spy of the Land Empire, what kind of schemes could I possibly concoct while hiding on a small island?"
After Tang Lie was taken away, Yan Yue approached Mei Xi and whispered, "Master, did you not say he is a person from the Holy Land? If we keep him on the ship, it is likely to attract a lot of trouble"
The other beautiful female warriors of Yan Yue could not help but chuckle.
Yan Yue felt her cheeks flush slightly upon hearing his rude remarks
Yan Yue nodded, took the handgun, and was about to leave when Mei Xi unexpectedly changed her mind: "You should put it away for now; that bastard is truly too cunning, and this matter may not be as simple as it seems."
Mei Xi saw that Tang Lie was deliberately playing dumb and gritted her teeth, saying: "You better come clean with me, are you a spy sent by the Lande Empire?"
The midday sun was exceptionally scorching, with not a single cloud in the sky. The blazing sun beat down directly on the deck, and the sea breeze seemed weak and powerless. Tang Lie knelt on the deck in shorts, meticulously wiping the dust from the crevices of the deck, while continuously cursing Mei Xi in his heart: "Damn you, you wretched woman, if I ever get the chance, I will definitely strip you of your clothes..."
Perhaps he has always lived outside the sacred land
Her name is Luo Cai, the one who shouted in surprise when Tang Lie explained the functions of the pistol that day. Among the many female warriors, she is also the one who enjoys harassing and beating Tang Lie the most
Tang Lie was so frightened that cold sweat poured down his face, and he silently exclaimed: "Dear lady, please do not pull the trigger; I have not yet lived enough..."
When Tang Lie was brought before Mei Xi, almost no one recognized the disheveled figure with a bruised face standing before them as the handsome and robust man from the day before
Tang Lie was greatly relieved to see that none of the items he brought were missing. Looking at the G-Sauer P229 pistol not far away, a glimmer of hope surged within him. As long as he could successfully obtain the pistol, he was certain he could turn the situation around before the target and the * map * book.
Tang Lie boldly said, "If Miss Yan trusts me, could you please extend your wrist?"
Tang Lie felt a deep sense of disappointment, yet the opportunity was not entirely lost. He traced the shape of a handgun with his fingers, extending and retracting his arm, saying: "This is what fitness is like, very comfortable..."
His arms suddenly came to a halt, and he was startled by the malicious thoughts that had unexpectedly emerged, as he was a highly educated individual with a doctor's degree. How could he have become so base and despicable? His mind was filled with vile and sinister ideas. Could it be that the excessive use of spring medicine had unknowingly altered his body and even affected his brain? This thought sent a chill down Tang Lie's spine. Could it be that the excessive use of spring medicine had unknowingly altered his body and even affected his brain? This thought sent a chill down Tang Lie's spine
Yan Yue had already seen everything that had happened clearly just now, and coldly said: "Luo Cai, we have been sisters for many years, why do you need to put on an act in front of me?"
Tang Lie let out a cry of pain, turning around to glare at her in anger
Tang Lie was secretly anxious; her holding the gun was tantamount to suicide. It was truly hard to bear the thought of such a beautiful lady dying before his eyes
Luo Cai nodded hurriedly and left, turning around, her expression instantly transformed into one of deep resentment. She had long been jealous of Yan Yue for being favored in front of the master, and now that Yan Yue had interrupted her good fortune, her anger reached its peak. Upon reaching the corner, she secretly glanced back and saw Yan Yue helping Tang Lie up from the deck, inwardly cursing: "What are you so proud of? You must have taken a liking to that slave."
Yan Yue You Ran sighed and said: "Unfortunately, the master has no fondness for you; she likely will not believe your words"
Sister, do not concern yourself with me; today I am determined to deal with this shameless scoundrel! I never expected that this brazen individual would possess such outstanding acting skills
Tang Lie felt a stir in his heart at the sight of her charming appearance. Fortunately, a thread of rationality remained in his mind; otherwise, he would have rushed forward to embrace her.
But why do you have the parchment personally written by Emperor Land, which is also sealed with his stamp
