Can't a princess ascend the throne?

Chapter 480 The Crown Princess (Part Six)

The pirate's heart pounded; he knew that anyone appearing at this time must be someone important. Especially as the man drew closer, he suddenly caught a whiff of a delicate fragrance. Having spent considerable time at sea, he immediately recognized the complex spices in the scent, one of which was the priceless ambergris.

Anyone who can afford such precious spices must be of extraordinary birth. And the ship that chased them just now was a Grand Jing official's vessel; could this person be a high-ranking official of Grand Jing?

Although he already had a guess in his mind, he was still shocked when the person walked in front of him—it was a woman! How could it be a woman?!

In their country, a woman's only duty is to bear children and do housework. Although he had long heard that women in the Great Jing Dynasty could also hold official positions, this was the first time he had ever seen a woman of such noble birth, having spent so many years at sea. Especially when he saw that this woman was exceptionally beautiful and that her clothes were even embroidered with flowers, the sheer absurdity of it all filled him with anger.

This anger caused him to lose control of his throat and utter unwarranted curses.

"A woman?! How can a woman board a ship?! Don't you people of Dajing know that women bring disaster to ships? Women are inherently unclean, with extremely heavy yin energy. If there is a woman on board, the ship will surely sink!"

The woman, Jiu Que, stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, looked down at the pirate who had been forcibly forced to kneel, and raised an eyebrow. This was followed by a string of fluent Luo Yu Mandarin.

"But why did I see that your ship abducted women from Dajing? Does that mean that women who voluntarily board the ship will bring misfortune, while women who are abducted will not? Or does your so-called talk of misfortune only apply to women who want to board the ship to do things and get a share of the profits?"

"you?!"

I never expected this woman from Dajing to speak their language so fluently! Especially since I couldn't refute what she said. No wonder she's a lowly woman from Dajing; her sweet talk is truly impressive.

The pirate rolled his eyes, then suddenly let out an excited pant, his lewd gaze sweeping over Jiu Que. Women, regardless of country or region, no matter how composed they appear on the surface, are all just empty shells deep down. He'd seen women of noble birth before, but those women always succumbed to panic when faced with male malice. It was a baseness ingrained in women's bones; even if the person standing opposite him was a noblewoman or official from the Great Jing Dynasty, she would likely show a panicked expression in the face of such humiliation. For some reason, he felt a strange sense of anticipation.

Those who go to great lengths to plunder Dajing are no good people. Some of the pirates around had already been beaten down and dared not resist, but after seeing their companions' heroic actions, they were encouraged and kept staring at Jiuque with lewd eyes.

"court death!"

In the present day, few in the Great Jing Kingdom do not admire and adore Jiu Que, especially those who have accompanied her on her voyages—they are the most loyal of all. Now, seeing these ignorant foreign pirates dare to humiliate Her Highness the Crown Princess, they are enraged, their grip on her hands and feet instantly intensifying, causing many pirates to cry out in pain!

Several hot-tempered pirates had even begun to fight. Those skilled in martial arts naturally possess many subtle methods to inflict pain on their opponents. Especially when facing this group of inhuman pirates, the methods employed were varied and numerous. The black-helmeted pirate, who bore the brunt of the attack, received extra attention from the Jing soldiers who were suppressing him.

Just before the wheat-skinned soldier broke his bones, Jiuque moved.

At that moment, everyone stopped moving. The pirates, who had been prepared to be beaten up, felt the people behind them stop and couldn't help but look up at the source of the problem.

Even at this moment, the black-helmeted pirate didn't forget to provoke Jiu Que, sticking out his tongue to lick the air and letting out a disgusting laugh. The fingers that were being held down twitched slightly, his eyes fixed on Jiu Que as he drew closer.

"What? Are the ladies-in-waiting of Dajing so weak? They only dare to send their subordinates to fight while they stand by and watch the show? I truly feel sorry for your subordinates. You, such a delicate young lady, don't even have a callus on your hands. You should hurry back to your boudoir and cry. Dajing woman, you should be glad I lost today and am pinned here unable to move. Otherwise, a woman your age must have never tasted the flavor of a man, right? I..."

Jiu Que had already walked up to the pirate who was spewing nonsense, and bowed slightly as he looked at the man's outrageous words.

The black-helmeted pirate became even more excited upon seeing this, spewing profanities incessantly, completely unaware that the surrounding Da Jing soldiers were looking at him as if he were a dead man.

As the noble woman from the Great Jing Dynasty drew ever closer, the black-helmeted pirate stared intently into her eyes, calculating the distance between them. Then, risking a broken arm, he forcefully broke free from the grasp of those behind him. A phone, constantly making subtle movements, extended, seemingly poised to effortlessly seize the Great Jing official. A smug glint gleamed in the pirate's eyes. He could easily take this Great Jing official hostage; after all, judging from the reactions of the surrounding Great Jing soldiers, this woman's identity was certainly not simple, otherwise they wouldn't have been so tense about her every move.

The distance between the two was indeed short. The black-helmeted pirate was extremely confident in his speed; he was certain he could catch his opponent before the Great Jing soldiers could react. Closer, even closer! He was about to succeed…

Ok?
Jiu Que easily grabbed the outstretched arm, and with a gentle lift, her hand lifted the man's sturdy, heavy body. No! The black-helmeted pirate was sent flying!
He was completely unable to react at that moment. Before he could even let out a scream, he felt his ankle being grabbed, followed by a strong feeling of weightlessness and intense pain in various parts of his body.

Jiu Que lifted the pirate, who was much taller and stronger than her, as if she were carrying a little chick, and swung him around effortlessly, smashing him against various parts of the ship!

"Bang bang bang-"

A violent collision, mingled with screams, erupted suddenly on the ship, the sounds continuous. Large amounts of blood splattered, some directly onto the faces of the stunned pirate captains. The pirates whose blood had splattered felt their hearts clench, almost in horror, as they watched Jiu Que, a slender woman, casually swing their companions around like toys, smashing them against the ship!
Many of those with poor mental fortitude immediately screamed in pain, only to be punched by the Da Jing soldiers standing beside or behind them!
