Chapter 509: Feign Retreat to Entice the Enemy, Purple Pearl's Heart is Stolen!_1
"First kiss?"
Luo Yu was slightly surprised.
Purple Pearl got annoyed, couldn't pretend anymore, and burst out in anger.
"What do you mean by that skeptical look? Although I can't beat you, you should respect my personality."
"You misunderstood,"
Luo Yu shook his head, teasingly said, "I just didn't expect that someone of your age hasn't had a boyfriend yet."
"So this is what a pure and older goddess looks like."
"I am at the perfect age right now, you are the older goddess..."
"Wait a minute!"
Purple Pearl shouted halfway, her delicate body suddenly trembled, eyes tightly fixed on Luo Yu.
"How do you know I am a goddess?"
Luo Yu realized he had slipped up, as it wasn't the right time to reveal that he knew about Purple Pearl's past.
His mind spun, he calmly said:
"Well, isn't it as obvious as lice on a bald head? Aren't you just an older leftover woman?"
"I'm asking why you know I'm a goddess!" Purple Pearl's face changed with tension as she glared intently.
"Leftover woman, as in a woman left over, do I need to translate that for you?" Luo Yu explained.
Pfft...
The surrounding pirates almost laughed out loud like pigs.
They had long since realized, and they couldn't understand why their leader kept asking naively.
Purple Pearl felt like she was struck by lightning, all words stuck in her throat.
Then, she bit her silver teeth, looking as if she would love nothing more than to tear Luo Yu to pieces.
"With my beauty, how can no one want me, don't you underestimate me."
Luo Yu nodded, looking around at the pirates.
"She says she's got suitors, would any of you dare to take her?"
"Whoever dares, step forward, I promise I won't hit you."
The scene was silent as a grave, as the pirates, who were normally fierce and terrible, now kept their lips sealed tight, afraid to make even the slightest noise.
Luo Yu sighed.
"Look, only I am willing to take you, and you still seem reluctant."
"Are you really planning to be a leftover woman for life?"
Purple Pearl was so mad she could almost have her nose bent out of shape. This man had a real knack for getting under her skin.
She didn't care anymore.
She wrapped her arms around the man's shoulders and leaned in for a passionate kiss.
But unexpectedly, she was stopped by a palm to her face.
Luo Yu calmly looked at her.
"What I give you, you can have."
"What I don't give you, you can't have even if you take the initiative."
Purple Pearl was so furious her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked as though she could explode and fight Luo Yu to the death on the spot.
She had thought this guy wanted to subdue her merely out of lust.
Yet now that she had thrown herself at him, this guy didn't even seem a bit thirsty.
"What exactly do you want?"
Luo Yu pinched her chin.
"Such matters, it's not about a woman taking the initiative, I should take the lead."
"You still have time to regret it now."
Purple Pearl didn't speak, closed her beautiful eyes, her eyelashes quivered, fists clenched below.
A beauty coming onto him on her own, and a first kiss at that.
Luo Yu wouldn't refuse, otherwise what would he be pretending to be, a Saint?
The pirates around had wide eyes.
Their leader, whom they had secretly admired for many years, was now being plucked right before their eyes?
They were infuriated internally, yet not a single one dared to challenge or even to utter a sound.
All that remained was their silent envy.
This scene lasted an agonizingly long time, torturing the nerves of the pirates.
"Pop."
Luo Yu pulled away.
Fuck...
The pirates inwardly let out pained howls.
Their goddess of many years was gone just like that, leaving them heartbroken.
Luo Yu looked at the woman before him with flushed cheeks and a bashful demeanor.
"Now I believe that it was your first kiss."
"You clearly don't know anything."
"Huh." Purple Pearl scoffed, "Was I active enough for you?"
Luo Yu recalled the moment.
It was more than just taking the initiative.
Purple Pearl quickly retreated, flashed to the back, and created distance between them and Luo Yu.
"Then guess why I would be so forward."
Luo Yu expressed his surprise, "You weren't conquered by my regal aura?"
"Pfft, shameless."
Purple Pearl retorted coldly with contempt, "I am not that kind of disloyal and superficial woman."
Luo Yu said nothing, only quietly touched his lips.
Her indignation at his silent mockery made Beautiful Eyes rage with fury.
"Do you feel paralyzed all over now?"
"Numb, surely this must be the sudden onset of love numbing me," Luo Yu said with a laugh.
"Laugh, keep laughing, soon you won't be able to," Purple Pearl snorted coldly.
"Try to mobilize your Soul Power and see if you can muster any."
Luo Yu feigned surprise.
"What have you done to me???"
A cold glint flashed in Beautiful Eyes.
"My favors are not so cheaply exploited by you."
"All the humiliation I've endured was just for that kiss just now."
"The greatest advantage of the Sea Serpent Martial Soul is not direct combat, but poisoning, you know."
"I had no confidence that I could breach your defenses to poison you, but how will you guard against poison inside your body!"
Luo Yu sighed heavily.
"The bee's sting comes at the tail; the most poisonous thing is a woman's heart. To think there could be such an odd method of poisoning."
"You've already been hit with a deadly poison, do you have any last words? I might try to accommodate them," said Purple Pearl.
"I have just one thing to say," Luo Yu said.
"Speak! I'll grant you this chance," Purple Pearl said with confidence.
"Another kiss."
"What?"
The pirates were dumbfounded. Was this guy a beat too slow? Afraid that one dose of poison wasn't enough, he wanted another?
"You lecher, still thinking about taking advantage of me up to your last breath," Purple Pearl rebuked.
Luo Yu glared.
"Didn't you say you'd try to fulfill my last request?"
Purple Pearl gazed at him with hinted depth and asked,
"There's something off about you. I'm about to poison you to death."
"And yet you don't show anger, hysteria, cursing?"
Luo Yu laughed, "What of it? Even as a ghost beneath the peony flowers, I would be amorous. What does it matter if I live or die after kissing your fragrant beauty?"
The pirates smacked their lips.
"What a peculiar man, so handsome and capable, could have any woman he wants, yet he came here to court death."
Watching the carefree and laughing handsome Luo Yu, Purple Pearl strangely felt her heart stir.
Truth be told.
What woman wouldn't be moved by a man both powerful and attractive?
It's just that his mouth was too hateful.
He bullied her time and again.
She slowly approached Luo Yu.
"What are you doing?" Luo Yu asked.
The pirates, too, were curious.
"Don't talk."
"Hmm?" Luo Yu was puzzled at first, then stunned, because Purple Pearl actually kissed him.
The pirates were also frozen in shock, looking at each other as if struck by lightning.
What... what's happening here?
Nobody was forcing her this time; why did the leader kiss him on her own?
Luo Yu had not expected it; this woman was about to kill him, so why insist on another kiss?
He had just been joking.
"Smack!"
Purple Pearl looked at Luo Yu with a cold smile.
"There, I've fulfilled your dying wish, you can go die now," she said.
"But rest assured, I, Purple Pearl, am a reserved woman; since you've kissed me, I won't let any other man touch me for the rest of my life."
Luo Yu said speechlessly, "You're sick."
"After saying all that, you still want to kill me??"
"Yes, I'm sick, who else would be a pirate if not?" Purple Pearl scoffed.
"Then why did you kiss me?" Luo Yu glared.
"I'm a pirate, do pirates need a reason for what they do?" Purple Pearl glared back.
"You really are something," Luo Yu laughed.
Purple Pearl reached out to touch Luo Yu's face, leaned in close to his ear with pursed lips.
She sighed softly, "Honestly, for a moment just now, I truly didn't want you to die, never in so many years have I met someone as interesting as you."
"But…"
"I have used the deadliest Sea Serpent poison, even I don't have an antidote for it."
"It's too late for regrets now."
