Chapter 506 Teasing Purple Pearl, the Pirates Drop Their Jaws!_1
The wooden hut was eerily quiet, with only the sound of irregular, noisy breathing.
Pirates with dark skin and headscarves widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at Luo Yu.
They would never believe he could utter such astonishing words.
Captain Zizhenzhu's eyes appeared slightly stupefied; she never expected to hear such preposterous words from Luo Yu's mouth.
She furrowed her brows and said coldly,
"What did you say? Say it again."
Luo Yu pinched the tender, smooth hand he was holding and blinked:
"Heidel said he would betroth you to me. If Captain Zizhenzhu has no objections, we could get married today."
"Boom!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room erupted into chaos, with angry rebukes resounding everywhere.
"How dare you!"
"You're out of line!!"
"Delusional, keep your dirty hands off our captain."
"You actually dare covet our captain, kid, you're looking for death."
"Go out and ask around, know the reputation of Zizhenzhu in the nearby harbors, you think you can match our captain just because you're a bit fair and handsome?"
For a moment, Luo Yu seemed to have stirred up a hornet's nest, surrounded by the enraged pirates at the center.
The gaunt sailor by Luo Yu's side was trembling.
He was scared.
But what he feared was not that the pirates would slaughter him and Luo Yu.
Rather, he feared that these idiots would anger Luo Yu, who might just wipe out the entire pirate settlement on the island.
"Silence!"
A furious shout echoed through the room.
All the menacing pirates instantly quieted down, not uttering a word, and turned their attention to Captain Zizhenzhu who had called out.
Captain Zizhenzhu had tightly knitted brows and her beautiful eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"You still haven't let go? Do you have any manners?"
"Cough, cough."
Luo Yu let out a dry laugh: "My apologies, I didn't expect a pirate leader's hand to be so supple. I thought it would be rougher, which surprised me, so I touched it a bit longer."
"Hiss..."
The sound of sharp intakes of breath was clearly audible in the wooden hut.
The pirates were stunned.
Was he openly flirting with their captain?
Captain Zizhenzhu was not someone to mess with. Without a ruthless approach, how could she keep these vicious pirates in line?
In their eyes, Luo Yu was already a dead man.
"You seem quite bold," Captain Zizhenzhu said as she carefully scrutinized Luo Yu.
If it had been anyone else being so frivolous, she would have already struck to kill; how could a pirate afford to be anything but vicious in attack?
But she was full of questions now.
Because from her perspective, this man was too abnormal.
Firstly, his attractiveness was abnormal—she had seen a lot in her life, but never had she seen anyone who could compare to Luo Yu.
Then there was the air of calm and composure about him; she had even met Titled Douluos, yet none had the demeanor of this young man before her.
And most importantly, only a fool wouldn't know how dangerous a pirate den is.
Normal people would steer clear, yet this fellow actually went out of his way to come here. Not only did he come, but he also had the audacity to flirt with her, the leader of the pirate group?
Captain Zizhenzhu mulled it over internally.
This guy was either a fool or there was definitely something off about him.
"Bold?"
Responding to Captain Zizhenzhu's inquiry, Luo Yu smiled.
"You, are the wife Heidel has promised to me."
"To follow the husband like a chicken follows a rooster or a dog follows its owner, this means I also have a share in this island now."
"Why would I be afraid on my own turf?"
The pirates were flabbergasted, never having seen anyone dare to speak so boldly in their presence.
It somehow seemed like he had a point and was quite convincing in his argument.
No, that's not right.
Some of the pirates shook their heads one after another.
Made sense my ass, with such an arrogant temperament, it would be strange if our captain would marry him.
Captain Zizhenzhu's gaze intensified, and her spiritual power probed out.
Yet from Luo Yu, she could only sense a faint soul power.
She couldn't help but feel very puzzled internally.
Could it be that this man really was an apparently normal, but actually abnormal fool?
Otherwise, how dare he speak so recklessly.
"How dare Heidel make such a decision on his own."
"How does he dare?"
Luo Yu shrugged, "If you don't believe me, you can ask him yourself."
After all, dead men tell no tales.
Luo Yu added silently in his heart.
Purple Pearl looked at Luo Yu's seemingly sincere expression and couldn't help but believe him a little.
Could it be that her earlier feeling that this man before her was unfathomable was just a misconception?
"Damned Heidel."
Purple Pearl gritted her silver teeth, and in an instant, she felt the urge to tear Heidel into pieces.
Was this guy planning a rebellion?
To send a greenhorn to humiliate her, to show her who's boss?
Purple Pearl addressed Luo Yu.
"He dare say it and you dare come?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Luo Yu replied with a smile.
Purple Pearl was infuriated.
"If he told you to die, would you do it too?"
"Do you think I'm an idiot, to go die if he tells me to?" Luo Yu admired the beauty before him, "He said he'd send me a wife, that's why I came."
"Promising me a wife for nothing, I couldn't just refuse."
Purple Pearl's cheeks turned a flushed red with anger.
Which woman could tolerate having her lifelong matters be manipulated by others?
"I can tell you very clearly that Heidel is setting you up, he's deceiving you into coming here to die."
Luo Yu shook his head.
"No, I don't believe it."
"Whatever you say is useless; the moment he made the promise, you became my woman."
The pirates were shocked.
Holy shit, this guy's got some nerve, playing the rogue with the Pirate Leader?
Is he genuinely stupid or just pretending?
Purple Pearl's ample chest heaved, her breath grew heavy, and her face turned red with anger.
"Since when does that bastard have the right to decide on my marriage!"
"Where is he? I'm going to kill him right now."
Purple Pearl felt that Luo Yu might be a bit slow-witted, and she didn't want to waste her anger on him, so she blamed everything on Heidel instead.
She thought Heidel had deliberately sent someone to disgust her first.
"That..." Luo Yu muttered, "No rush to butcher him for now, shouldn't we deal with the marriage first? Once our relationship is settled, I'll help you kill him."
Purple Pearl was furious, her beautiful face turning even more radiant with her feisty curses, creating a stark contrast.
"Deal with what crap, say one more word, and I'll deal with you!"
Luo Yu leaned in close, whispering in Purple Pearl's ear, "I understand now, you don't like being passive, you prefer to take the initiative."
"Huh?"
Purple Pearl's thought process visibly paused for a moment before she grasped the meaning behind Luo Yu's words.
Suddenly, she was shaking with anger.
It was always she who teased other women; when had she ever been teased like this!
Purple Pearl struggled to contain her rage.
"Although you look quite handsome, I don't find it disagreeable."
"But if you don't shut up, you're going to die."
"Oh? Who's going to die." Luo Yu raised an eyebrow, murmuring, "Could it be you're talking about a desire for both immortality and death?"
His voice was low, but the cabin was small.
The pirates almost lost their jaws in shock.
Awesome, utterly awesome. Is this the legendary courting death in style?
How dare he mess with the Overlord Flower like this?
One of the pirates silently gave Luo Yu a thumbs-up in his heart, apologizing to him.
Sorry, brother, I shouldn't have called you an idiot earlier. With what you're doing now, all I can say is you're awesome!
Purple Pearl finally lost all patience, having never been as angry in her life as she was today.
"Someone, drag this guy out and chop him to pieces, then throw him into the sea to feed the fish."
"Yes!"
Seeing the approaching band of pirates, Luo Yu wasn't the least bit flustered, arching an eyebrow towards Purple Pearl.
"Are you planning to murder your own husband?"
