From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

"But..." Gate wanted to persuade him again.

Xia Jieren said firmly: "It's decided!"

After saying that, he followed the Nine Snake Warriors and left happily.

"What should we do?" Ariely looked at Senior Gate.

"What do you think..." Gate said unhappily.

"Uh~" Ariely couldn't make up his mind either.

Seeing him like this, Gate sighed and said, "Always pay attention to the [Heart Network]. If there is any unusual movement, immediately go to the Lord."

"Yeah!" Ariely nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the two returned to the guest room and waited quietly for Xia Jieren to call them.

the other side.

Xia Jieren followed the slightly shorter Nine Snake Warrior and walked quickly towards the [Royal Palace].

During this time, Xia Jieren tried to talk to him many times, but he was ignored without exception. Obviously, the Nine Snake Warriors were still very wary of outsiders.

Looking at the Nine Snake Warrior leading the way, Xia Jieren secretly said what a pity. Although he didn't know her name, Xia Jieren felt that she looked very familiar and should be a character that appeared in the original work.

Soon, the two came to a gorgeous and ancient door.

Pushing open the door, what comes into view is a large bedroom with simple and elegant decoration. A white curtain hangs in the middle of the bedroom, and behind the curtain a huge bed that can accommodate five or six people can be vaguely seen.

Seeing the environment inside the house clearly, Xia Jieren's heart moved, and he was secretly delighted: "No way... I'm not ready yet... The progress is too fast!"

The Nine Snake Warrior bowed and reported, "Sir Snake Princess, the person has been brought here!"

"Go down!" A cold voice sounded from behind the curtain.

The Nine Snake Warrior hesitated to speak.

"Go down!" Seeing that she didn't move, Hancock's voice became even colder.

"Yes!" The Nine Snake Warrior shuddered all over, and then reluctantly withdrew. Before leaving, she even closed the door considerately.

After the door closed, Xia Jieren coughed lightly and asked seriously, "I wonder why the Empress came to see me?"

Hancock didn't answer immediately.

She walked out from behind the curtain and called Xia Jieren to the balcony.

Xia Jieren was confused and couldn't figure out Hancock's purpose.

The two sat opposite each other at the balcony table. Hancock clumsily poured Xia Jieren a cup of tea, which made Xia Jieren feel even more weird.

Xia Jieren looked at the teacup in front of him, then looked at Hancock, and was about to ask.

Hancock smiled and said softly, "The reason I invited you here today is very simple. I want to chat with you."

Hearing this, Xia Jieren relaxed a little, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "I wonder what the Empress wants to talk about!"

Hancock looked at Xia Jieren and said seriously, "Just call me Hancock!"

As she said this, Hancock looked a little shy, and her right hand subconsciously fiddled with the ends of her hair.

Xia Jieren was stunned, and then he said, "Okay! Hancock, you can just call me Jieren."

"Lord...Jeren!" Hancock said softly.

"Yeah!" Xia Jieren responded positively: "Hancock!"

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Hancock hesitated to speak, obviously having something to ask Xia Jieren.

Xia Jieren also noticed it, and he sipped his tea from time to time without urging him.

Hancock hesitated for a long time, took a few deep breaths, and as if she had made up her mind, she said with a trembling voice: "Jeren, I heard that the conflict between the [Netherlands Kingdom] and the [World Government] was caused by the Celestial...Dragon...People."

Hearing this, a glimmer of understanding flashed across Xia Jieren's eyes.

"That's right!" Xia Jieren nodded slightly. Then, he put down his teacup and complained, "Speaking of this makes me angry. Isn't it just killing a 'fat pig'? The [World Government] has been holding on to it. People who don't know would think that they killed the father of the [Five Elders]?"

In his words, Xia Jieren did not show the slightest awe for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. Instead, his words were filled with strong contempt and dissatisfaction.

Killing the [Celestial Dragon] was such a trivial matter to Xia Jieren.

Hancock raised her head and stared at Xia Jieren blankly, feeling mixed emotions.

"That's... [Celestial Dragons]... Aren't you afraid?" Hancock asked subconsciously.

Xia Jieren said disdainfully: "What are you afraid of! I killed a [Celestial Dragon], what can the [World Government] do to me? You must know that in this world, strength is respected. As long as you are strong enough, no one can do anything to you!"

Strength is Xia Jieren’s confidence.

Before you have enough power, you can be timid and live like a quail. But even if you have enough power, if you still can't live according to your own temperament, then what's the point?

Speaking of Celestial Dragons, Xia Jieren seemed to open up his chatterbox. He chattered on and on: "It was because of that unknown Celestial Dragon that my original plan went to waste. I went to war with the World Government before I was ready."

"Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands has achieved a temporary victory, its development speed has inevitably been affected."

"It's all that damned [Dragon Man]'s fault. No! It's the Dragon Pig! Otherwise, my power would have secretly controlled the [Four Seas] long ago."

"Damn [Dragon Pig], it ruined my plan!"

The more Xia Jieren spoke, the more excited and angry he became.

"Just wait! It won't be long before I attack Mary Geoise and cut you scum into pieces."

"Damn it! How dare you covet the woman I like! I will remember this grudge for the rest of my life!"

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!

When Xia Jieren was speaking excitedly, he suddenly heard sobbing sounds beside his ear.

He turned his head and saw Hancock with her head down and tears in her eyes.

"Uh~" Xia Jieren was confused, thinking: "Sister! Why are you crying? I didn't look at your back, and you didn't tell me any secrets about yourself. Why are you crying? This plot is wrong!"

Xia Jieren was just complaining and talking nonsense just now, but somehow he touched Hancock's tear point.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Xia Jieren fumbled in his pocket, trying to take out a tissue to show his gentlemanly manners. After searching for a while, he found out that he didn't have it with him.

Faced with this situation, Xia Jieren seemed a little at a loss: "Well? Hancock, why are you crying? If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me. I am happy to be your audience."

Hearing this, Hancock raised her head and looked at Xia Jieren with tearful eyes. She stared at Xia Jieren and gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

Suddenly, she stood up and walked towards the house: "Follow... me!"

Although he didn't know what Hancock wanted to do, Xia Jieren followed her anyway.

Coming to the bed, Hancock pulled open the white curtains and crawled in.

Xia Jieren's eyes were wandering. He wanted to look, but morality was trying to stop him.
