Voyage With The Pirate King
Chapter 226 - Big Hei's Plums

Its words struck Xiaoyu's sore spot. In the beginning, her self esteem took a big hit whenever he rejected her. However, when she found out it wasn't just her she felt a bit better.

People always replace solace in knowing that others are in the same situation as them. She soon was accepting of this taking it as how things were.

That is until Rui Fei came into the picture. He could touch Ji Yao however he pleased something Xiaoyu or anyone else for that matter couldn't do.

That feeling of not being good enough sprung up again but since Rui Fei was a boy she had nothing to worry about, right? She disliked Rui Fei so much but she didn't hate him because she thought nothing of his relationship with Ji Yao. If Rui Fei was a girl she would be crazy jealous and done everything possible to sabotage her.

That is until she found out that they were in that kind of relationship. It wasn't as simple as she initially thought. Her hatred for Rui Fei shot through the roof as she burnt with jealousy. If she could make him disappear she would.

"Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Qilins are averse to everyone's touch unless there is blood relation or they have high compatibility with that person. This means your little boyfriend might not be truly interested in that slut but his physical body. If he had high compatibility with you then wouldn't he be touching you?"

This unexpected revelation had Xiaoyu lying there with a stupefied look on her face. She couldn't believe it. Not once did it cross her mind that Ji Yao had this kind of problem. All this time she thought it was some sort of mental barrier that he could overcome with time. But it turns out it was much more serious than that. 

But soon her expression sank when she realized that this meant she had no hope. The only thing that gave her comfort was that Ji Yao didn't like Rui Fei but he was just using him because he had no other option. Wouldn't it have been great if she was that lucky person?

The creature dangled the crystal bottle above her face and said, "But this can solve all your problems. With this he won't avoid your touch anymore so..... help me get the stones and I will give it to you and eliminate your love rival."

Xiaoyu's green eyes rippled with emotion as she stared at that enchanting liquid that had turned to precious treasure in her eyes. With these kinds of tempting offers, how could she refuse?

She tried to raise her hand to grab the bottle but she was still unable to move. Giving up she opened her mouth asking, "What do I have to do?"

The creature smiled as it slightly tossed the crystal bottle in the air and grabbed it again before it vanished into thin air. Since the plan had changed and it had something this girl wanted badly it said,

"When the binds loosen go and replace those stones for me. Once you have them I will replace you and we can exchange."

As soon as it said this it vanished on the spot reappearing near where the ground was. While it walked over to join the group it began to have a conversation with itself.

'Why did we let her go? I thought we would keep her but we.... we let her go,' said the voice in its head that got harsher the more it spoke.

'She wants this love potion so bad so she won't betray us. While we replace her in the crew she will search that ship because she wants to be with him that bad,'

'Yes, sure but if she betrays us and runs to that brat what are we going to do?'

'We saw the desperation in those eyes and we saw her nightmare. She would never betray us,'

'Does that love potion even work?'

'It should but even if it does what does that matter. She won't walk out of here alive anyway. Since when have we ever let delicious food walk away?'

'Yes, yes.... we never let tasty food run away from us.'

By the end of this conversation, the creature had already mingled at the end of the group like Xiaoyu hadn't disappeared just now. In fact, no one had even noticed her leave. If they did they probably didn't dare mention her. She was in a terrible mood and no one was willing to be caught in the crossfire.

Surprisingly it was Rui Li who noticed something was off about her first. It wasn't because she had noticed her absence but another reason. From where she was sitting Rui Li kept staring at Xiaoyu with a scrutinizing gaze. She could feel something was different but she couldn't quite put a finger on it.

Was it that her hair had gotten longer? Nope. Or maybe it was that she had grown taller? Not that either. It was then her gaze fell on Xiaoyu's chest. Her eyes widened as she nudged Rui Yewan.

"Hey Wan Wan, is it me or did Xiaoyu's jugs grow bigger? Take a look and tell me if I am imagining it," she asked her gaze still fixed on Xiaoyu.

Rui Yewan who was half-listening turned his head without thinking much.

He followed Rui Li's line of sight that's when he fully digested her question. He abruptly shifted his gaze away while lightly smacking Rui Li's arm. "Are you crazy? I can't look at her... there. She is a girl," he said feeling annoyed.

Rui Li completely ignored his words and kept staring with her finger on her chin. "Ha, they look so real too. She can't have stuffed grapefruits down there again, has she?" Rui Li curled her hands in the size of grapefruits trying to gauge the size of those perky jugs. Doing a squeezing action fondling the air with a stern expression she said, "Nah, not grapefruits..... maybe, maybe oranges..... hey."

The word 'hey' was said after Rui Yewan disrupted her squeezing motion with his hands as he laughed nervously because everyone was staring at her.

"Everyone is looking," he said through gritted teeth while wishing he could chop those hands.

Xunshi Zhe turned back to Big Hei while mimicking Rui Li's previous actions. With his hands held up to his chest he did a squeezing motion as he asked, "Do you think that's how girls measure their boobs?... haa let me measure yours Hei. As big as you are, yours must be the size of melons."

He plastered his curled fingers on Big Hei's chest and gasped in horror as he reduced the size to that of a plum. "This can't be real, hehe they are like cute little plums, ai..... ah, ai it fuckin hurts," yelped Xunshi Zhe after his hand was slapped away.

"You deserve it... calling my jugs plums.. Ridiculous."
