Chapter 5

‘Fat Lamp’

“Pirates? I’ll go take a look!” Gu Xiaonan’s eyes lit up as he turned around and ran out.

“Wait!” Gu Qingluan pulled him back. “Put on the mask.”

...

Having donned the human skin mask provided by Gu Qingluan, Gu Xiaonan’s appearance transformed. He remained handsome and adorable. He winked at Gu Qingluan, saying, “Master, let’s go meet the pirates.”

Gu Qingluan smiled and pinched his nose playfully. She wore a veil herself and took her son’s little hand, strolling out calmly.

As soon as they stepped out of the cabin, they encountered a rugged-looking man wearing a headscarf.

“Mr. Pirate, I finally get to see you!” Gu Xiaonan excitedly rushed forward.

Gu Qingluan’s lips twitched. She knew that her son was addicted to acting, so she happily watched from the side.

Pirate A had a perplexed expression on his face.

After years of being a pirate, it was the first time he encountered a child who showed no fear.

“Old Liu, do you two know each other?” Pirate B whistled and asked with great curiosity.

Pirate A glanced down at the little boy tightly holding onto his leg, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t remember ever meeting the child before.

If he had seen such a beautiful and clean boy, he would definitely not forget him.

Gu Xiaonan replied, “Mr. Pirate doesn’t know me. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Gu Xiaonan, and I’ve been admiring Mr. Pirate for a long time!”

“Hey, little one, you admire pirates?” Pirate B burst into laughter. “Why don’t you come with us and become a pirate yourself?”

“Is being a pirate fun?” Gu Xiaonan’s eyes widened in curiosity.

“Haha, it’s fun! Of course, it’s fun!” Pirate B smiled and nodded.

“Can I bring my master and Miss Bo He too?” Gu Xiaonan pointed towards Gu Qingluan and Bo He.

The pirates, momentarily distracted by Gu Xiaonan, turned their gaze in the direction he pointed, and their eyes lit up.

The woman standing in front was dressed in pristine white. Her flowing black hair resembled ink, and her gracefully arched eyebrows framed her face. Her eyes, akin to peach blossoms and reflecting the essence of the sun and moon, were enchanting even though they remained veiled. It was evident that she possessed an unparalleled beauty.

The girl in green behind her, who didn’t have a veil over her face, also looked delicate and pretty, with a distinct allure of her own.

Pirate B swallowed his saliva and quickly said, “Sure! Of course, you can!”

He thought to himself, “Where did this little brat come from? He’s delivered himself right to our doorstep, and he even brought along two beauties. Today, we’ve struck gold!”

The few pirates didn’t pay much attention to Gu Xiaonan, Gu Qingluan, and Bo He. Upon learning that there were only three of them and a boatman on the ship, Pirate B couldn’t contain his excitement. He swiftly pulled out the ghost flag from his waist and stood by the railing, vigorously waving his arms.

..

On a pirate ship in the distance:

“Boss, our luck is really good today. After finishing this job, we can enjoy ourselves for a while!”

A man with a bushy beard excitedly rubbed his hands together, pointing towards Gu Qingluan’s ship as he spoke to the scar-faced man beside him.

Though this ship was not as impressive as the one they plundered in the morning, a little bit of meat is still meat, especially considering the decent size of this ship!

The scar-faced man was the leader of the Ghost Pirates. Despite his rugged and fierce appearance, he was actually a cautious individual.

Having seized a merchant ship in the morning, they were not letting their guard down. “Everyone, stay vigilant and await news from Liu Nan.”

Just as they finished speaking, they spotted the familiar sight of the skull flag, the symbol of their Ghost Pirates, flying on the ship ahead.

The bearded man exclaimed with excitement, “Boss, look! It’s our Ghost Flag!”

The pirate leader’s spirits soared, and he bellowed, “Full speed ahead!”

The pirate ship instantly accelerated, swiftly closing in on their targeted ‘Fat Lamb’.

On the deck, Gu Xiaonan’s eyes gleamed with anticipation as he couldn’t help but drool while keeping his gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching ‘Fat Lamb’.
