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

The dishes were all kinds of delicacies, from land to sea; the wines were fine wines, some strong and some mild.

But the timing of these dishes and wines is a bit off. What kind of family would serve such hearty dishes and drink such strong liquor so early in the morning?

Zhu Yuyan believes that Zhou Ye is deliberately trying to embarrass her!

Before she could even get angry, she saw Huang Rong and the others had already started eating. Her disciple, Wanwan, even picked up a large chicken leg and ate it with her mouth full of oil. Turning her head and seeing that her master hadn't touched it, Wanwan was a little anxious: "Master, eat quickly, or it will be gone in a while."

Zhu Yuyan didn't quite understand. What did it mean to be gone in a little while?

With such a large table of food, and a table full of women and only one man, there should be no way they could finish it all. How come there isn't any?

But when she followed her apprentice's gaze and saw how Zhou Ye ate a whole chicken in three bites, she instantly understood. So, she also ate a small chicken leg, two pieces of fish, and a small half bowl of rice. When she felt that was enough, she stopped and stared intently at Zhou Ye, watching how he cleared out the entire table of food.

Before leaving, he drank half a jar of wine to soothe himself. Once he felt he was almost ready, Zhou Ye picked up a box from his feet. Inside was a three-foot-long jade ruyi, a treasure from the Liancheng Jue treasury. It was pure white without any blemishes and was carved from a piece of top-grade mutton fat jade.

I chose it because it's quite valuable, and it won't be too conspicuous to show off.

Zhou Ye pushed the Ruyi scepter, along with its box, in front of Zhu Yuyan: "Sect Leader Zhu, this is just a small gift, nothing more."

It was indeed a priceless treasure, but Zhu Yuyan only glanced at it before staring at Zhou Ye and saying, "You think you can buy my disciple with this?"

Zhou Ye chuckled and said, "That's a bit harsh. A-Wan's value is immeasurable to me. This is just to express my feelings. If it can be considered an engagement gift, that would be even better."

Zhu Yuyan was both amused and annoyed: "My disciple is the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect. If you want to marry her, you'd better prove yourself!"

Zhou Ye wasn't angry. On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he had to return Wanwan just because Zhu Yuyan disagreed, but as long as she made a condition, everything would be fine. At least he wouldn't have to turn against her now, right?

Wanwan was raised by Zhu Yuyan and taught all her skills, so Zhou Ye also needs to consider Wanwan's feelings. As for what this Demon Queen wants, Zhou Ye knows all too well that it is nothing more than unifying the Demon Sect!

But this job was too tiring, and he really didn't have the energy for it. So, with a quick thought, he smiled and said, "Skills and such are a bit too much. How about this, I'll exchange them for information about Yang Gong's treasure vault?"

Zhu Yuyan narrowed her eyes: "Just news?"

Zhou Ye pressed further: "Then let's use the Evil Emperor's Relic?"

"good!"

Hearing her agree, Zhou Ye was taken aback for a moment. Simply put, it was too easy...

Zhou Ye turned his head and looked at Wanwan, whose pretty face was flushed. The latter playfully stuck out her tongue at him. At this moment, Zhou Ye understood everything. The master and disciple had teamed up to trick him.

It doesn't matter anyway, he'll have to go there sooner or later. Once his big ship is ready, he can travel by water and treat it as a trip.

The matter was settled so simply. After staying for a few more days, Zhou Ye gave the inn to Zhu Yuyan, and then he took the women and drove a carriage towards Jiangling.

He wasn't there to watch the duel, so he had no intention of spending the Mid-Autumn Festival in Kyoto. He was going home to spend it with his family.

His departure naturally reached those who were interested, and many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because in other people's eyes, Zhou Ye's family was trouble itself.

But there are also people who are not afraid of trouble, or even who actively seek out trouble.

Zhou Ye looked unwell, mainly because he didn't know what to do!

A young woman, in a wheelchair, was stuck in the road all alone, neither crying nor making a fuss, just staring at you with her big, watery eyes...

Should we hit or scold?

Or should we forcibly drive them away?

Huang Rong glanced at him a few times, then smiled and invited Wuqing to get into the carriage. Zhou Ye didn't say anything, but his face was a little dark... Huang Rong was not unaware of what she had done. From Shaolin to the last case, she knew everything about it.

And who is this heartless person?

Yes, she is a woman, but she is also a member of the Divine Constable's Office and one of the Four Great Constables!

Bringing a woman like that to a carriage is like inviting a cat into a mousetrap... no, it's like inviting a weasel into a chicken coop... no, that's not right either, it's like bringing a vice admiral onto a pirate ship! What is she trying to do?

No matter how Zhou Ye tried to signal her, Huang Rong remained unmoved, as if her big eyes were blind.

Therefore, Zhou Ye became much more silent along the way, and his ears were perked up, afraid that the women might accidentally reveal his secret, making him infamous throughout the martial arts world...

Because he was going home for the holiday, he returned much faster than he had come. It took him less than a month to reach Jinling City. He stayed at the Zhou residence for one night and then returned to the mountain villa the next day.

Wuqing had no idea that the Zhou family possessed such wealth. She was astonished just by seeing the Zhou family mansion; its interior decoration was in no way inferior to that of a royal palace. She knew that the Zhou family was not short of money, but now it seemed they were more than just not short of money…

"Miss Sheng, let's stay here for the night and go back to the villa tomorrow. Then I'll have my big, simple-minded husband take a good look at your leg. If he can't do it, we have an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor on the mountain who's sure to have a solution!"

The old Chinese medicine doctor Huang Rong mentioned was Xue Muhua. This old man, relying on his status as a "general practitioner," often looked down on Zhou Ye, who was only a "partial practitioner." So, when Zhou Ye got angry, he changed his nickname from "enemy of the King of Hell" to "old Chinese medicine doctor." Everyone in the family felt that this name was very affectionate. So, at home, apart from Zhou Ye calling him Old Man Xue, everyone else called him Old Chinese Medicine Doctor. Because of this, the old man was so angry that he didn't eat properly for several days.

But now... he's used to it...

Wuqing wasn't very concerned about whether her leg could be cured. In her opinion, so many famous doctors in Kyoto couldn't cure her leg, so that old Chinese medicine doctor would be no different. But she couldn't bear to refuse Huang Rong's kindness, so she nodded in agreement.

As soon as Huang Rong stepped out, she saw Zhou Ye waiting outside. He scooped her up in his arms and then turned around, disappearing into the backyard where no one was around.

"What do you want? You don't know who that woman is, do you?"

Huang Rong laughed: "I know, that's why I let her come along. Don't be impatient, listen to me. Think about it, if we can bring Wuqing, one of the Four Great Constables, to our side, wouldn't our affairs be much more secure? The Four Great Constables have quite a reputation. Even if someone suspects us in the future, with her around, we can clear our names, right?"
