A Slave Girl’s racial talent weakens as her clothing decreases.
This setting reminded Bai Ya of certain fighting games she had played. As health dropped, the opponent’s clothes would become increasingly tattered. When a finishing blow was dealt at the exact moment their health reached zero, their clothes would burst, leaving the opponent completely naked.
Those were truly interesting games. Bai Ya could no longer suppress her stray thoughts, and she even let out a laugh.
“Hehehe! From now on, you’d better stay quiet for me! You!”
Taking advantage of the crowd’s shock, Bai Ya firmly grabbed Molly’s two small hands with one hand and pinned them behind her back, restricting her movement.
Molly did not resist, wordlessly cooperating with Bai Ya. After a moment, she heard the sound of excited breathing from behind her, and she immediately broke out in goosebumps.
‘Hehehe! I’m so strange! I’m truly strange!’
With Molly’s naked back facing her, her fair and tender skin was right before her eyes. Without even looking in a mirror, Bai Ya knew her face was as red as a boiled egg. Saliva was nearly dripping from her mouth.
From the moment she tore Molly’s clothes, Bai Ya knew she had become a bit strange.
‘This isn’t an attribute awakening! This is an attribute enhancement!’ Bai Ya understood that if she continued like this, she would go down a path of no return. Even though she had the illusion that she was making a profit, she forced herself to suppress the smile on her face.
‘That smile must be quite lewd,’ Bai Ya thought. She didn’t want to leave the impression of a pervert on Molly.
Although now was not the time for this, and it seemed there would be no time allowed for such things afterward, it was a pity. Bai Ya also knew she had to prioritize business. Any chance to properly appreciate a young girl’s enticing body was likely just a dream.
“Put down your weapons! Everyone, get out! You should know what to do; I have a very important hostage in my hands!”
Bai Ya pushed the dagger forward a step, piercing Molly’s skin. Beads of blood quickly seeped from the wound.
Bai Ya apologized in her heart. She didn’t want to hurt a young girl with whom she had no grudge, but she was being forced by circumstance. She hoped for forgiveness.
Seeing Molly being treated so roughly, the pirates forgot to attack. Some even loosened their grip, letting their weapons drop onto the wooden boards with a dull thud.
The pirates were stunned. Their minds were filled only with the sight of Molly’s naked body; everything else was a blank.
“Molly says for you to get out!” At this moment, Molly could no longer endure the gaze of the crowd and shouted in shame and anger.
The pirates snapped out of their shock. They understood that if they wanted to keep their eyes, they had to immediately follow Leader Molly’s orders and get out of this cabin. Thus, they each sat down and huddled into balls, rolling out the door like spheres.
Once outside the cabin, the high-ranking pirates immediately launched into a heated discussion. The theme was how to avoid having their eyes gouged out after seeing Leader Molly’s body. Some among them also went to notify Raymond and Peng Peng about the attack on Leader Molly, urging the two to return quickly.
The topic of discussion gradually shifted to ‘how to appease Leader Molly’s mood.’ They didn’t seem worried about Molly’s safety at all because they were very aware of her strength. Leader Molly wouldn’t be held captive by just anyone. Compared to Molly, they should be more worried about whether Bai Ya could come out in one piece—if she were one of them.
The pirates had all retreated, and the cabin suddenly felt spacious. Realizing that only she and Molly remained in the room, Bai Ya’s heart beat uncontrollably.
“Um, I offended you a bit just now.” Bai Ya let out a sigh of relief and sat on a chair, pinning Molly’s hips between her legs. It had been hard work for her to maintain a hunched, standing posture.
Bai Ya felt Molly’s body tremble. She reflexively wanted to move away from Molly, but reason pulled her back. Now was not the time to lower her guard or stop the threat!
Before having a calm conversation, Bai Ya unbuttoned her collar, took off her old yellow coat, and used the sleeves as a rope to tie Molly’s hands. Only then was she able to completely free up one hand.
Bai Ya breathed another sigh of relief. Molly’s cooperation throughout the process also made her realize a few things. Since that was the case, in a sense, she could rest easy.
“Where should I start? First, I didn’t mean to tear your clothes on purpose, so I’m not a pervert. You know too, right? The fewer clothes you wear, the weaker your racial talent becomes. It’s a setting, a setting.” Bai Ya scratched her cheek awkwardly. She was a lolicon and didn’t want to be hated by a young girl.
Because it was the fault of the setting—the setting was too terrible! That was why she had laid hands on a little girl for the first time in her life, tearing her clothes. This was practically a crime!
‘Being a pervert is actually great! — ‘ Bai Ya shook her head violently to discard that terrible thought.
“Molly knows.” It was Molly’s cold voice, devoid of any emotion.
“Yeah, you know,” Bai Ya’s gaze flickered. Thinking about what she had just done, she felt a bit afraid to face Molly. “I couldn’t help it. Because, even though I stated my intentions directly, you refused without giving me a single chance. So, I wanted to have a good talk with you.”
“Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t have had such an opportunity, right?”
Molly remained silent, and Bai Ya took it as agreement.
“My name is Bai Ya Yifiel Chlorom. I possess the ‘Mind’s Eye Blade’ sword skill talent. I might be lacking in combat ability, but I have something to be proud of in terms of survival.”
“My background is a complete blank. Right now, I have nothing but my name. I am homeless, and I think I need a job.”
“Molly—no, Leader! I want to join! I want to become a pirate! I want to follow you! Those are my true feelings.”
“Is that not okay?”
Molly only felt her ears itching. Bai Ya’s breath made her face turn a bit red, but at this moment, she cared more about Bai Ya’s words.
Bai Ya said she wanted to become a pirate. For some reason, Molly’s first thought was to reject her.
After a long silence, Molly spoke.
“Is that so? You want to become a member of the Sea Dragon Pirate Crew? Then, Molly must ask you, do you meet the conditions for boarding the ship?”
Molly’s voice wasn’t as cold as before; on the contrary, there was a slight hint of happiness. Bai Ya answered without thinking, “Of course I do!”
How could she say no at a time like this? She had to be a pirate no matter what. If she couldn’t get on Molly’s pirate ship, the plot of the second chapter would go off in an unpredictable direction. Achieving a perfect ending for the second chapter’s plot was her goal.
“No! You don’t!” Molly insisted that she was not qualified to be a pirate. “Women cannot be on ships! Molly knows this common sense very well!”
“Be that as it may, Leader, you are also a woman!” Bai Ya retorted sharply.
“Why are you calling me Leader on your own! Molly hasn’t agreed to let you on the ship yet! You aren’t qualified to board! But Mo—Molly is different! Molly is naturally qualified to stay on the ship. Mo—Molly is the leader!” Molly responded excitedly, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. For Bai Ya, listening to the girl’s stuttering voice was sometimes a joy.
“Exactly, the leader is naturally qualified to be on the ship. The leader is a Slave Girl and possesses very powerful strength!” Bai Ya glanced at Molly and noticed a layer of crimson appearing on her cheeks. As expected, she was still a child who liked flattery.
“As for me, oh dear, I’m just an ordinary person who wants to be a pirate.” Bai Ya lied shamelessly here. She couldn’t tell Molly that she was also a Slave Girl. The relationship between Slave Girls was terrible to the extreme.
Because if a Slave Girl wanted to evolve, she had to kill other Slave Girls. That crystalline body called the ‘Heart’ would only drop after a Slave Girl died, and it was the key to evolution.
“According to superstition, women bring storms and disasters, so they can’t board ships. But I shouldn’t be rejected for that reason.” Bai Ya tapped her temple, a relaxed smile on her face. “It’s that, right? Women on a ship will cause men to fight over them, which isn’t good for unity. Fighting and even bloodshed might occur. I know that men driven by their base urges don’t care about anything else.”
“As—as long as you know. It’s because of this! Molly won’t let you on the ship! Give up!” Molly nodded, indicating that she fully agreed with Bai Ya’s statement.
“Leader, is it truly because of this that I can’t board?” Bai Ya said with a half-smile.
“Women cannot board the ship; there is no doubt about that!” Molly said firmly, then grew frustrated as she thought of something else. “And you aren’t allowed to call Molly Leader!”
“Yes, yes, Leader.” Bai Ya stuck out her tongue; she wouldn’t do as told. She was determined to board this pirate ship.
“You brat!” Molly couldn’t endure it any longer. If she didn’t show Bai Ya some colors, she wouldn’t know the extent of Molly’s deterrence!
Moisture in the air condensed into several water arrows, all aimed at Bai Ya’s back.
A Slave Girl’s racial talent weakens as her clothing decreases. The information Bai Ya had obtained was accurate. Even so, the strength of a racial talent weakened to its limit was not zero; it had been reduced by one strength tier at most, which was already a very significant weakening.
Even so, Molly was confident she could kill Bai Ya before she could make a move. Everything had never escaped Molly’s control!
“After accepting the name, I think I will also accept the body,” Bai Ya noticed Molly’s killing intent. Looking up, she discovered the killing blow waiting for her. Molly’s personality was very volatile. If she were provoked, one might be killed before even getting a chance to explain.
“Therefore, I think no one will be interested in my body.”
The forms of the water arrows in the air collapsed, turning into water droplets that fell.
Bai Ya put down the dagger and simultaneously untied Molly’s restraints. At this point, it was impossible for her to threaten her anyway.
Molly stared at Bai Ya’s body for a long time. After taking off her coat, Bai Ya was only wearing underwear, leaving a large amount of skin exposed.
“How cruel. You are also an unfortunate person.” Molly withdrew her killing intent and nodded her small head. “Welcome, Bai Ya Yifiel Chlorom.”
