Chapter 1229: Chapter 1228: Save Tang Mu was bound in the middle of the deck at the moment, visibly panicked. She had come to the Paocai Nation to attend an event, which was held on a luxury cruise ship. Unexpectedly, halfway through the event, pirates arrived and captured them. Initially, she thought they were just a group of pirates after wealth, but now it seemed it wasn’t that simple. Seeing a woman, who had half her body tattooed with Witch Text and dressed oddly, approaching her, she instinctively curled back. At that moment, a voice sounded. "You damn pirates, do you know who I am? I’m Xiao Mingxuan, a superstar from the Dragon Country." "Release us quickly, otherwise, once the outer world learns that you’ve kidnapped me, you’ll be waiting for your death!" Xiao Mingxuan, who was invited along with Tang Mu to attend the event, was a well-known male star from the Dragon Country domestically. This time he had spent a vast amount of money and utilized many connections just to get a chance to go abroad for an event with Tang Mu. He had planned to confess to Tang Mu, as he had a crush on her for a long time. Little did he expect that they would encounter pirates halfway through the event. However, at the moment, he felt this was an opportunity to win Tang Mu’s heart. He wanted to show off his manly courage. However... As soon as he said this, it elicited a sneer from Hei Tu, who slapped him directly across the face. "Pop!" The slap knocked out several of his teeth and his pale face immediately swelled up with blood. Simultaneously, Hei Tu with a fierce look on his face said: "Shut up, or I’ll kill you right now!" "Buzzzz..." At this moment, Xiao Mingxuan’s head went blank. He wasn’t sure if it was from the slap or from fear. "Hehe, this man is quite handsome. But, I hate it when someone is more handsome than me..." The speaker at this moment was Lü Gou. As Lü Gou spoke, a butterfly knife played in his hand, and he moved towards the star Xiao Mingxuan. Seeing this, Xiao Mingxuan asked with a trembling voice, "What... what do you want to do?" "What do you think? I’m going to make your face look like mine." Lü Gou pointed to the scars on his face as he spoke. "Pfft —" Hearing this, Xiao Mingxuan was so scared that he urinated himself. The face of Lü Gou was too terrifying. If he ended up looking like that, it would be the end of Xiao Mingxuan. He backed away repeatedly, hastily pleading, "No, no... please, I beg you, don’t do this." Looking at him like this, Lü Gou showed a face full of disdain, "Men of the Dragon Country really have small guts." "Yes, yes, yes, us men of the Dragon Country have very small guts. Esteemed pirate grandpa, please spare me. I’m willing to give you money. How about 50 million yuan?" Lü Gou sneered, obviously not taking the 50 million yuan mentioned seriously. He had initially intended to disfigure Xiao Mingxuan. But at this moment, Hei Tu spoke: "This guy knows the score. Spare him. Let him tell these people from the Dragon Country to hand over all their wealth." Hearing this, Lü Gou laughed and nodded, "As expected of Sister Hei Tu, always thinking things through." Hehe, before they become sacrificial offerings, let’s strip them of their wealth, and all the attractive women will be played with, just as the men... This is indeed maximizing the use of these sacrificial goods. At this moment, Lü Gou also issued this order to Xiao Mingxuan. Seeing this, Xiao Mingxuan quickly nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely complete the pirate lord’s command." "But pirate lord, after I’ve obtained their money for you, can you let me go?" "Hehe, sure, sure..." Lü Gou verbally agreed. "It’s perfect," Xiao Mingxuan, having received the ’promise’ of Lü Gou, adopted a fierce look and shouted to the captured people of the Dragon Country: "Hand over all your money!" No sooner had he spoken these words than a female star from Dragon Country couldn’t help but say: "Xiao Mingxuan, how could you do this? You’re actually aiding tyranny..." Hearing this, Xiao Mingxuan was prepared to use her to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Xiao Mingxuan went straight up to her, grabbed her head, and slammed it onto the deck, causing her head to bleed profusely. "Ah..." The female star let out a shrill scream, only able to respond, "I’ll give it, I’ll give the money." Seeing this, the others also bowed their heads, saying they were willing to give money. Just like that, Xiao Mingxuan had become someone’s ’lackey’. Seeing this scene, Tang Mu couldn’t help but angrily say: "Xiao Mingxuan, aren’t you afraid of retribution for acting this way?" In the domestic scene, he was known as a warm and sunny man; unexpectedly, in the face of danger, he turned out to be so gruesome. At the moment, Xiao Mingxuan didn’t conceal anything and said, "Tang Mu, you better mind your own business." Indeed, in that instance, Hei Tu, pointing a finger, held Tang Mu’s chin, making the expression of a poisonous snake looking at its prey, and approvingly said: "This face, it’s simply a masterpiece from God." "I truly love it..." As she spoke, her hand reached out toward Tang Mu’s flawless white face. The nails, had already grown long. But just at this moment, Red Rat hurriedly spoke up to stop her, "Hei Tu, stop!" While speaking, Red Rat slapped Hei Tu’s hand away. Seeing this, Hei Tu frowned and asked, "Red Rat, what do you mean by this?" Red Rat replied solemnly, "It means that this ship’s Dragon Country sacrifices are now handled by me and Grey Snake." "We have taken an interest in this group of people." Grey Snake also indifferently nodded, "That’s right!" The faces of Hei Tu and Lü Gou changed at once, then immediately Hei Tu laughed and said: "Red Rat, Grey Snake, aren’t you guys being a bit unreasonable?" "The sacrifices from this ship of Dragon Country had first caught our eyes; I kindly let you two come and take a look, and now, you’re saying you’re taking them?" Lazy to respond, Grey Snake simply circulated his Inner Qi, and in his hand, he formed a dark energy blade. Then he coolly said, "How about, we fight for them? Whoever wins, these sacrifices belong to them." Whoosh! Hearing this, the expressions of Hei Tu and Lü Gou changed, as they hadn’t expected Grey Snake, who usually didn’t care much about sacrifices, to take such a tough stand now. Hei Tu acknowledged her strength, which she believed was superior to that of Red Rat, yet facing Grey Snake, ranked third in the Twelve Zodiacs, she naturally couldn’t compete. At that moment, she could only concede, "The other sacrifices can be yours. But this woman, she must be mine!" She pointed at Tang Mu. This woman was just too beautiful; she really didn’t want to hand her over to Grey Snake and Red Rat. However, having received Lin Dong’s instructions, how could Grey Snake and Red Rat possibly hand over Tang Mu to her? Grey Snake shook his head, "No! This woman, Grey Snake has taken a liking to her... Still the same words, if you want her, let’s fight. If you can beat me, you can take her!" "Fine, fine, Grey Snake, you’re ruthless! We’ll see," Hei Tu, knowing Grey Snake’s firm stance, realized she wouldn’t get this exquisitely beautiful woman of Dragon Country. She could only hand her over, alongside this ship of Dragon Country’s ’sacrifices’. Fortunately, this time’s sacrifices were not just people of Dragon Country. There were also people from other countries. I heard that Yinghua Country has many beauties and handsome men...
