Pirates: Going out to sea? Cultivate to the Mahayana stage first

Hearing the voice, An Nuo turned around and met Laqi's tender and affectionate gaze.

At this moment, an indescribable tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he asked softly, "Laqi, since you left Sky Island and followed me, have you gotten used to your life?"

An Nuo looked at Laqi and said slowly: "If you are not used to it here..."

However, before An Nuo could finish his words, Laqi mustered up her courage, looked straight into An Nuo's deep eyes, and said firmly: "Master, please don't say such hypothetical words! For me, the word 'if' does not exist at all. I cherish every minute and every second that I can be with you."

At this moment, Laqi took a deep breath and continued, "Master, now I am not only your maid, but also your companion. Therefore, I sincerely hope that I can understand your innermost thoughts more deeply, and share your worries and pressures for you."

Hearing this affectionate confession, An Nuo was slightly startled, but soon, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he responded gently: "Laqi, I have already felt your kindness."

When Laqi heard this, her beautiful face instantly blossomed into a brilliant and moving smile like a spring flower.

Then, she said in a voice as gentle as the breeze blowing across the lake: "Master, could you tell me some stories about your past experiences? Especially those things about the world of immortal cultivation."

In recent days, Laqi has witnessed many strange sights that she found incredible.

For example, those lifelike paper figures sometimes appear to be dancing like elves, and sometimes appear to be fleeting like phantoms, giving people the feeling that they have some mysterious ability similar to that of a devil fruit, but they are not the same upon closer inspection.

Facing Laqi's expectant gaze, Annuo smiled slightly, nodded gently, then stretched out his hand to motion Laqi to sit next to him.

The two of them sat quietly together, shoulder to shoulder, on the wide deck.

With the sound of the sea breeze rustling her hair and clothes, Annuo started the fantastic journey of cultivating immortals for Laqi.

The knowledge possessed by immortal cultivators is vast, broad and profound, covering the methods of practicing martial arts, the secrets of alchemy, the techniques of drawing talismans, and the exquisite use of spiritual energy, etc.

Laqi listened attentively, her beautiful eyes sparkling with excitement and desire, as bright and dazzling as the stars in the night sky.

"Master, can I really learn so much magical knowledge and skills?" Laqi asked softly with full of anticipation.

An Nuo smiled slightly, looked tenderly at the lovable woman in front of him, and continued to explain patiently: "Of course, dear. From the moment you decided to become my Taoist partner, you have the right to learn and explore these areas."

In fact, it’s not just you. Nami and the others are also very interested in these immortal cultivation knowledge.

If you don’t know where to start or have questions about certain aspects, you might as well ask other sisters. I believe they will be happy to help you.

However, if you encounter a problem that you really can’t solve, don’t forget to come to me at any time!

Hearing An Nuo's kind and thoughtful words, Laqi's cheeks instantly flushed, as cute and touching as a ripe apple.

She lowered her head slightly and whispered shyly: "Master, it is the greatest honor of my life to be able to stay by your side forever..."

Seeing this, An Nuo slowly stretched out his right hand, gently held Laqi's soft little hand, and said in a firm and affectionate tone: "Silly girl, since we are already Taoist companions, there is no need to say such polite words. Do you remember the moment when you entrusted your heart to me? Since then, our destinies have been closely linked, and our lives have long been entangled and intertwined, and can no longer be separated."

You know, in the way of dual cultivation, the most crucial point is to cultivate your mind.

Because only when both parties are filled with sincere and deep love in their hearts, the effect of dual cultivation will become more significant.

Because of this, An Nuo always expresses his strong and passionate emotions to his beloved woman without reservation.

At this moment, Laqi, whose hands were tightly held by Annuo, clearly felt the warmth from the other's palms, as if a stream of gurgling hot spring water was continuously flowing into the softest corner of her heart.

Suddenly, an unprecedented feeling of happiness and sweetness surged into my heart and turned into a warm current flowing throughout my body.

Laqi nodded, her eyes full of determination: "Master, I will always be by your side."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, as if giving their vows a layer of golden glow.

In the early morning, the sun rises, and the soft and warm sunlight gently falls on the spacious deck like a golden veil.

Laqi slowly walked out of the cabin, her graceful figure outlined in the morning light was particularly charming.

I saw her holding steadily in her hands a plate of colorful, fragrant fresh fruits.

At this moment, Laqi's cheeks were slightly flushed, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Obviously, her mind has not yet completely withdrawn from the intimate time she spent with An Nuo last night. Looking back now, those sweet and warm scenes are still vivid in her mind, making her heart beat fast.

Nami was standing quietly beside the rudder.

When she saw Laqi appear in her sight, a bright smile immediately appeared on her lips, and she greeted her warmly: "Good morning, Laqi! How did you sleep last night?"

Hearing Nami's greeting, Laqi's already flushed cheeks instantly became even more red. She lowered her head shyly and responded in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Well... very good, thank you Sister Nami."

Although Nami is actually a little younger than her, Laci is just a new member in the Orange Cottage, a big family full of love and care. So for many things, she still needs to humbly ask and learn from the more experienced Nami.

Seeing this, Nami walked lightly to Laqi's side, reached out and patted her shoulder affectionately, her tone gentle and slightly teasing: "Hey, don't be so shy, brother-in-law is an extremely gentle and considerate person."

"We all have gone through a phase like yours."

While the two were talking, Nojigo walked out of the kitchen with brisk steps, holding a plate of steaming, freshly baked delicious bread in her hands.

As the strong aroma of wheat filled the air, Nojigo said with a smile on his face, "Breakfast is ready, everyone come and have breakfast."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of cheerful footsteps coming from afar.

The lively and lovely Kella jumped out of the cabin in a hurry.

When she saw the delicious food on the table, her bright eyes sparkled with excitement and she couldn't help but cheer: "Wow! It smells so good! Sister Nojigo's cooking skills are really getting better and better!"

Every morning, the fragrant and mouth-watering breakfast on the Orange Cabin was carefully prepared by Anno or Laqi.

However, last night, Laqi and An Nuo were so immersed in their dual cultivation that time seemed to fly by them, and the two of them almost completely forgot about time.

So much so that at this moment, they were still sleeping soundly in bed, and looked like they couldn't be woken up no matter how hard you called them.

Meanwhile, Gion and Hina were standing quietly at the stern of the ship.

Gion was wearing a neat navy uniform, with a graceful figure and heroic spirit; while Hina was dressed in a simple and elegant outfit, which made her look calm and steady. When they saw Laqi, they all smiled and nodded slightly.

Gion couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart.

Once upon a time, she thought that there would be another woman on the ship who was not Annuo's partner.

But who could have expected that in less than two days, Laqi would quickly become Annuo's Taoist partner.

This change made her mood quite complicated, as if she was suspended in mid-air, neither up nor down, and difficult to describe.

From a certain perspective, Gion felt that she had persisted long enough. After all, for such a long time, she and An Nuo had always maintained a simple teacher-student relationship and had never taken that crucial step.

But thinking back carefully, it seemed that this was not the case. Because in that dreamlike dream world, she and An Nuo had had an extremely close contact...

Just as Gion was lost in thought, Anno walked out of the cabin leisurely.

Chapter 223 Caught

Annuo first stretched lazily, then glanced at where everyone was gathered.

Seeing everyone gathered here, An Nuo immediately broke into a bright smile and laughed loudly: "Haha, sorry, sorry, it looks like today's breakfast must be very sumptuous."

Laqi quickly handed him a plate filled with various fresh fruits. Her beautiful eyes revealed endless tenderness as she whispered softly, "Master, please enjoy these fruits."

An Nuo took the fruit plate with a smile, and at the same time reached out and gently stroked the top of Laqi's head, saying in a kind and gentle tone: "Thank you, Laqi."

At this moment, Nami walked over slowly with a sly smile on her face, and deliberately teased: "Oh, brother-in-law, why do you always ask Laqi to call you master? It feels so weird!"

Hearing this, An Nuo rolled his eyes at her and retorted, "Don't you keep calling me brother-in-law all day long?"

Nochigao, who was being cueed nearby, rolled his eyes.

After a hearty and delicious breakfast, everyone came to the wide deck and sat together comfortably.

The cool and pleasant sea breeze blows across everyone's face, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort.

Everyone was enjoying this wonderful moment and happily recalling the unforgettable journey on Sky Island.

Speaking of Sky Island, there are indeed many topics to talk about.

The people of the sky who live there have a unique culture and firm beliefs that are completely different from those of the people on earth.

However, due to Eneel's brutal rule, local people had to live in deep fear for a long time.

But even so, their deep yearning for freedom has never been extinguished.

Especially those amazing empty shells left a very deep impression on everyone.

There are wind shells that can create strong winds; there are fire shells that can release blazing flames; and there are sound shells that can produce pleasant sounds... Each type of air shell has its own unique special use.

"If I have the chance to go to Sky Island again in the future, to be honest, I really want to climb up along that huge vine again."

Nami frowned slightly and said with a hint of regret, "When I saw you all climbing so happily, I was really a little envious."

"Humph, who told you to be lazy!" Nojigao said as he stretched out his finger and gently poked Nami's pink face, and continued with a hint of resentment, "I told you to crawl with us a long time ago, but you refused to listen."

The huge vines looked as spectacular as a green waterfall hanging from the sky;

There are also those layers of dreamy sea of ​​clouds that make people feel as if they are in a fairyland.

Standing high up in the clouds, it felt like a dream, so wonderful!

"Oh my, it's such a pity that you didn't get to experience it yourself!" At this point, Nojigo couldn't help but reveal a trace of regret.

Just then, Gion and Hina came over, and they showed a greater interest in Sky Island's fighting ability.

Gion spoke first: "You said that the guy called the God of Sky Island, that is, Enel, did he really go to the moon in the end?"

She just listened to what Nami said about Enel's fate.

"In my opinion, with the powerful strength this guy has shown, even if he were to come to Qinghai, he would definitely not be underestimated!"

As he spoke, Gion's eyes sparkled with curiosity and inquiry.

Hina on the side seemed relatively calmer. She frowned slightly and analyzed seriously: "Well, if our navy can successfully master the advanced technologies on Sky Island, it may really bring considerable help to the World Government. I just don't know how to start..."

Hearing the two people's discussion, An Nuo smiled slightly, then shook his head gently and said slowly: "Sky Island's technology is indeed full of magic, but their lifestyle is very different from our Qinghai after all. Therefore, we should still give them enough respect and let them live the way they like."

Moreover, it would be better if this Sky Island had no connection with the World Government. Otherwise, it would end up being completely devoured without even a bone left!

After saying that, a look of worry appeared on Annuo's face.

Laqi listened quietly, her beautiful eyes revealing endless admiration.

She said softly, "Master, you have always been so kind and considerate of others. I believe that the people on Sky Island will be grateful to you."

It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly, warm and pleasant but not blindingly bright.

Nami and Nojiko carefully spread a soft blanket on the deck and placed exquisite tea sets and delicious snacks on it.

Kerla was sitting leisurely on one side, her slender white hands gently holding a book about the long history of Sky Island, and she was concentrating and focusing on reading the text in it.

Not far away, Gion and Hina were practicing swordsmanship intently.

Their movements were light and graceful yet fierce. Every time they swung their swords, there was a flash of cold light, which was as pleasing to the eye as a graceful dance.

Annuo stood quietly at the side, giving some pointers from time to time, his words were full of undisguised admiration.
