It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

Zhou Ye went to dig a hole. After all, the couple had given him more than five hundred taels of silver notes, so he had to be buried properly.

"sorry……"

After Zhou Ye buried everyone, it was almost dawn. Huang Rong looked after the children while Zhou Ye continued to pack up the camp. Just as they were about to set off, Huang Rong suddenly apologized: "I misunderstood you, you big dummy. You're so thoughtful. I didn't think of that."

"It's okay, you're still young."

"Where am I small!"

Zhou Ye looked down, then looked away and remained silent. Huang Rong, however, felt insulted. She threw the two little children into his arms and stormed off.

She may seem angry, but her little brain is actually working at a rapid pace!

Previously, she used her status as a creditor to forcefully stay by the big, simple-minded man's side. But after last night's commotion, the big, simple-minded man has money now. If he asks her to repay the money and then kicks her out, how should she deal with it?

Around noon, they arrived at a town. Zhou Ye didn't rush to send the two children away. Instead, he took Huang Rong to an inn to stay and asked the innkeeper for directions.

The next day, instead of setting off immediately, they wandered around the town, asking around, and finally settled on a family.

"Aunt Zhou, please take care of these two children here for now. I will come back to pick them up after I finish my business. Here is twenty taels of silver. Please take this money. Don't be stingy with it. When I come back, I will give you another thirty taels of silver as a reward. Don't worry, if I don't come back in two months, someone will bring you money."

"well."

This humble family had never seen such a large sum of money before. As for the two little children, how much could they possibly eat? Putting everything else aside, twenty taels of silver alone could certainly raise them to adulthood, if not to adulthood, but to the age when they could run and jump.

Once outside the town, Zhou Ye sensed that Huang Rong was looking at him strangely, but he pretended not to notice because he knew that Huang Rong would speak up when she couldn't hold back anymore.

"Are you coming back to take those two dolls away?"

Zhou Ye suddenly stopped, then bent down, stared into Huang Rong's eyes, and asked, "If I asked you to be their mother, would you be willing?"

Huang Rong blushed... Asking a sixteen-year-old girl in the prime of her youth if she wanted to be a mother... Even if she did want to, who would say it out loud!

However, Zhou Ye's gaze was so aggressive that Huang Rong couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to. In the end, she could only lower her head with a blush on her face.

"Miss Huang, I know you're very clever. I don't have any secrets, nor are they worth your trouble to find out. I have some important things to do now and don't have the time to play games with you anymore. There are two options: one, take these silver notes and we'll go our separate ways; two..."

Huang Rong waited for a while, but received no further response. Curious, she looked up and met Zhou Ye's gaze. This time, she truly blushed, because Zhou Ye's gaze was undisguised, so fiery and direct. But she still suppressed her shyness and asked, "The second path... what is it?"

"I'll be your sailor for life."

Is this a confession of love?

Huang Rong's ears turned red, and her heart was in turmoil.

Yes, she was curious about this big, clumsy guy... okay, and even had a bit of a crush on him, but how could it be a lifetime? Isn't that a bit too fast?

"I'll give you time, but not much time."

Zhou Ye took her south again, with a very clear goal: Wuliang Mountain and the Wuliang Sword Sect!

"You seem to have made up your mind about something? What made you change your mind?"

Huang Rong never stopped observing. She saw Zhou Ye's change, but she didn't understand how this seemingly stubborn and simple-minded big guy could suddenly change, as if he had made some important decision.

Should it change?

Zhou Ye knew that the two children were Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer, but after waiting in the town for several days, he did not see anyone from Yihua Palace or Yan Nantian. This meant that he had changed the fate of the two children.

Therefore, when you see the system panel prompt again:

"Suitable crew members have been found. Please recruit them to your ship. Reward: Swordsmanship."

"Suitable crew members have been found. Please recruit them to your ship. Reward: Physical Skills"

Zhou Ye originally didn't think much of swordsmanship or physical skills, and never thought of possessing them. However, if Hua Wuque and Jiang Xiaoyu were gone in the future, wouldn't this martial arts world be too desolate?

Although they are not his biological children, once he made up his mind to adopt them, he had to be responsible for them. His own domineering aura and the Six Styles were simply not enough to popularize, so he had to find more suitable martial arts resources.

Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique).

This lightness skill isn't the best, but it's the most suitable for saving one's life.

If you can't win a fight, that's a matter of skill. But if you can't even run away, that's a matter of character. So, if you want to enter the martial arts world, you must first learn survival skills.

Of course, Zhou Ye only gave Huang Rong time to go down to Wuliang Mountain. If she chose to leave, then it was none of her business. But if she chose to stay, then she would have to learn this lightness skill.

Peach Blossom Island's martial arts are unique, but no matter how talented Huang Yaoshi is, he is still far inferior to Xiaoyaozi. Moreover, Huang Rong is not a hardworking and ambitious girl, and her attitude towards practicing martial arts is not enthusiastic.

"Big idiot, I've found out. The ones chasing the Jiang couple are the Twelve Constellations. The one you killed that day was the pig from the Twelve Constellations."

Zhou Ye nodded indifferently. That night, he had intentionally covered most of his face and deepened his voice. Huang Rong had been saving people that night and had her back to those people, so seeking revenge against them... would be extremely difficult.

He was unknown in the martial arts world, and Huang Rong was just a young girl who had just left the island. The only thing he had to be careful about was his height, but his height was nothing special, as there were plenty of tall and strong men in the martial arts world.

So, apart from encountering a few shady shops along the way, we were mostly safe and sound.

"You big oaf!"

Huang Rong was getting angry: "What exactly do you mean? How many places is this? Why won't you let me shut down those shady shops?"

Zhou Ye looked at Huang Rong helplessly: "The martial world has its own rules. Those few shady inns have become long-established businesses, so why haven't they been wiped out by others?"

"Yes, why?"

Zhou Ye was too lazy to speak. The martial arts world wasn't easy to navigate. Without some experience, it was impossible to succeed. Even though Zhou Ye himself was a newbie, he knew that anyone who could turn a shady shop into an established business must have some trump cards. If he just got carried away and smashed up the shop, wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

"Big dummy..."

"Miss Huang, we'll arrive at Wuliang Mountain tomorrow. Have you made up your mind?"

"You big dummy, are you trying to force me?"

Zhou Ye let out a long breath, then smiled at her and said, "The journey through the martial world is long, Miss Huang. I hope we will meet again someday."

After saying that, Zhou Ye's figure disappeared instantly, while Huang Rong was stunned and remained speechless for a long, long time.
