Chapter 2: The Fragrance of Darkness Seeks Collection

  As he watched the woman with the long sword in her hand approach him, Tang Jie snapped out of his daze and smiled: "Actually, all this is just a misunderstanding. What I want to say is..."

  Before he could finish speaking, the woman suddenly took a step forward, her long sword flashing out like a snake from its lair, stabbing straight at Tang Jie's eyes.

  A sharp whistling sound made Tang Jie's heart skip a beat, he tilted his head, his feet moved quickly, and his body spun around like a top, spinning to the side. He continued from where he left off: "What I want to say is, you have a good figure, why do you have to cling to it like that?"

  The woman heard Tang Jie's glib and flattering words, her face turned red with rage, the long sword in her hand suddenly emitted a golden light, and she shouted: "Die!"

  She suddenly stopped for a moment, as if accumulating strength, and then after a brief pause, she swung her long sword, a faint yellow light visible to the naked eye, like a steel whip, shot out from the sword and lashed towards Tang Jie!

  Tang Jie was greatly shocked, and the lazy donkey rolled on the ground without any image. The long sword emitted a fierce aura that swept across his back, whipping against the hard wooden wall and leaving a deep sword mark.

  Tang Jie only felt a scorching pain on his back, and the woman in front of him had somehow used some sort of strange trick to emit that kind of sword energy.

  He stared with his eyes wide open, took a glance at the deeply cracked wall, and then turned his head around, looking incredulously at the blonde woman in front of him. He lost his voice and said: "What was that just now? Sword energy? What kind of ghost place is this, how can there be such martial arts and fantasy things? I'm relying on it, I won't really have crossed over, will I?"

  The woman furrowed her brow, clearly not understanding what he was saying. At this moment, she herself was also very surprised and puzzled, and she didn't know why this man could avoid her attacks twice in a row?

  Her strength is at least that of a second-rate sword fighter, and on this ship, except for the old captain Bar, she is the strongest. A blow like "Dragon Slash" just now would be impossible for others on the ship to dodge.

  What kind of person is he?

  The woman shook the long sword in her hand, this sword was slender and narrow, similar to a Western sword. With a shake, it emitted a humming sound. She said coldly: "Stand up!"

  Tang Jie's smile on his face gradually disappeared, he had been practicing martial arts since he was seven years old, and from a young age he was good at fighting fiercely. In the city where Tang Jie lived before crossing over, when those gangsters mentioned his name, no one did not change color with fear.

  With his rather rich PK experience, Tang Jie knew he had encountered an unprecedented strong enemy.

  He didn't know where he was now, and he didn't know who the woman in front of him was. But one thing he knew for sure was that this woman in front of him was absolutely not from his world, those non-mainstream little girls who only knew how to chase after celebrities, fashion, vanity, and shallowness all day long.

  Although she was slender and elegant, with golden hair and emerald eyes, her appearance was stunning. However, Tang Jie could smell a faint scent of blood on the long sword in her hand, and her eyes were as cold and fierce as those of a bloodthirsty leopard.

  Tang Jie slowly stood up, his expression gradually becoming serious. He reached to his chest, unbuttoned it, and took off the wet clothes, revealing sturdy muscles and a broad chest.

  He curled up the corner of his mouth: "Listen, I don't hit women! However, this doesn't mean that I will let you hit me!"

  The woman watched his movements, initially thinking he was being frivolous and getting more annoyed in her heart. However, seeing him take off the clothes on his body, twist them into a rope-like shape, grasp it with both hands, pull hard, and produce a crisp slapping sound, like a whip.

  The woman was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing: "What do you want to do? Are you going to fight me with the tattered clothes in your hand? Are you deliberately trying to win my sympathy?"

  She shook her long sword, and the faint golden light on it suddenly disappeared: "You have won my sympathy points, I will not use my aura to bully you."

  Chi Pao?

  Tang Jie felt more and more strange in his heart, was that just a fight of vital energy just now?

  I really crossed over!!

  His wet clothes hung down like a whip, seemingly a sleeping python that would burst out at any moment. He circled around the blonde woman in front of him and smiled: "Thanks for your ladylike demeanor, if you can let me out, I'll be eternally grateful!"

  The woman also smiled: "Of course you can, unless you dig out your own two eyes!"

  Tang Jie exclaimed: "Didn't you just say it was only one eye?"

  The woman said: "In view of your performance just now, I regret it and decided to add another eye."

  "Damn it!" Tang Jie cursed under his breath, still wearing a faint smile on his face. "What if I don't even leave one eye behind?"

  The woman's words had just fallen when she suddenly stepped forward, her long sword swinging horizontally, tearing through the air, and whipping towards Tang Jie's face.

  If this sword were to split him in two, Tang Jie was afraid that his face would be cut into two pieces from top to bottom, and he would become a man with a split mouth. Although he couldn't be considered handsome, he didn't want to become such a monster either. Tang Jie took a step back with his foot, barely dodging the sword, then immediately launched himself forward like a spring, his body bouncing towards him.

  The woman sneered, her heel spun around, and her body turned back, creating distance between herself and Tang Jie. As she continued to spin, the force of the rotation caused the long sword in her hand to thrust out suddenly, its speed surpassing that of before. If Tang Jie followed up with a pounce, this one strike would undoubtedly hit its mark!

  However, Tang Jie's previous move was just a feint. His body only made the motion of pouncing forward, but he didn't actually pounce. He just wanted to test the limit of the woman's sword speed.

  The wet clothes in his hand were not as the woman imagined, used as a whip, in fact, if he could get a water-soaked thick rope, it might be more lethal.

  But this dress, for a woman with such formidable combat power in front of her, it's just scratching an itch on her body.

  Its sole function is: bare-handed into white blade!

  Tang Jie's gaze was fixed on the long sword in the woman's hand, and from the light flashing from both sides of the blade, it could be seen that it was very sharp, but not to the extent of cutting hair with a single blow.

  He smiled slightly, and the wet clothes in his hand began to swing slowly: "I think women shouldn't dance with swords, they should be gentler..."

  The woman smiled and suddenly drew her sword: "For example, would gentle kill you?"

  Tang Jie dodged to one side, avoiding the sword. The wet clothes in his hand swung with increasing amplitude: "Alright, since you won't listen to my advice, I'll teach you a lesson today."

  The woman sneered: "You?"

  The long sword in her hand suddenly transformed into a poisonous dragon, proudly raised its head and ferociously bit towards Tang Jie's throat.

  Tang Jie's pupils suddenly constricted, his wrist shook, and the wet clothes in his hand suddenly exerted force at this moment, like a strange python, tightly wrapping around the long sword.

  The woman was startled and twisted her wrist, as if using the long sword's blade to rip apart the clothes wrapped around the hilt.

  Unfortunately, once the fabric gets wet, its elasticity will increase exponentially.

  "Tang Jie waved his hand and said, 'Tsk, tsk, the first lesson is that you can't be too monotonous in your moves. All of your moves are straightforward and easy to anticipate.'"

  He exerted a bit of force, and the clothes twisted into a rope in his hand shook violently. This power was transmitted to the woman's wrist, causing her palm to feel hot, and the long sword in her hand flew out of her grasp with a loud clang, hitting the wall and vibrating loudly.

  The woman's mouth opened wide, and her hand holding the sword clenched involuntarily. She seemed to be unable to believe that the long sword in her hand was actually disarmed by someone using such a method.

  She couldn't understand why this man who didn't even know how to fight properly would use so many strange and bizarre moves.

  Is this guy we fished up really just an ordinary castaway?

  Tang Jie patted his empty hand and smiled: "Now it's fine, you've lost your weapon, I've also lost my weapon. The two of us can sit down and have a calm talk!"

  The woman's gaze was fixed tightly on him: "Who are you, after all?"

  Tang Jie burst out laughing: "What a great question, it's also what I wanted to ask. Who are you?"

  The woman sneered: "I asked you first!"

  Tang Jie smiled: "My name is Tang Jie, what about you?"

  The woman furrowed her brow, silently reciting Tang Jie's name several times. She couldn't find any relevant information associated with this name in her mind. "I've never heard of this name," she said.

  Tang Jie said: "It doesn't matter, you've heard it now! What's your name?"

  The woman seemed not to have heard his words, her eyes with a vigilant and piercing gaze becoming increasingly sharp: "Are you one of Bisai's people?"

  Tang Jie was taken aback: "Bisai Liu? Which green onion? Hey, I just asked you, what's your name?"

  The woman still ignored his question: "Huh? Are you really unaware or just pretending not to know?"

  Tang Jie saw that he ignored his questions one after another, and couldn't help but angrily say: "Dead woman, I don't care what this Bisai Liu is, answer my question! I've asked three times already! What's your name?"

  The woman looked at him and suddenly smiled, this smile was like the ice melting in spring breeze: "Since you are not from Baiselu, that's easier to say. As for my name, you can guess?"

  Tang Jie saw the woman in front of him smile, and a wave of indescribable charm rushed towards him. He couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart: "Ah? Let me guess? How...?"

  He hadn't finished speaking, but saw this woman suddenly burst out a fierce aura on her face, and pounced over like a cheetah: "Do you think I would believe your words? Idiot!!"

  She struck with a single punch, her strength was extremely great, and she didn't look like a woman at all. In comparison to men, she had even more power than they did.

  Tang Jie burst out laughing, not retreating but advancing instead. In one swift motion, he rushed into the woman's embrace, his palm pushing against her elbow, instantly sending her fist brushing past his forehead. As for him, he stuck to the woman and fell backwards along with the force, heavily pressing down on her body, rendering her immobile.

  The woman went crazy and punched him with her fists. Tang Jie caught her wrists one by one, making it impossible for her to move again.

  Tang Jie angrily said: "What's wrong with you? Do I owe you a grudge or something? Why must you kill me?"

  The woman glared at him with her eyes wide open, her body constantly struggling and twisting: "Let me go! Let me go quickly!!"

  In the dark room, two people were pressed extremely tightly together. Tang Jie was on top, while the woman's chest was wrapped in a tight white cloth. The two bodies entwined, skin rubbing against each other, and the passionate atmosphere generated by the female and male hormones made both people suddenly feel electrified.

  Tang Jie could clearly feel that the place where his chest was tightly attached was so soft and elastic, he looked at the blonde-haired blue-eyed woman under him, couldn't help but stare blankly, as if he had become infatuated.

  The woman did not expect that she would be pressed by the man in front of her and couldn't even fight back, ending up in such an embarrassing situation. She couldn't help but blush on her face, turned her head away, gritted her teeth: "If you don't get up now, I'll make a vow to the Sea Goddess Tira, even if I have to sacrifice my soul to her, I will definitely take your life!"

  Tang Jie's strength in his hand gradually weakened a bit, and he said in a low voice: "Tell me your name, and I'll get up."

  The woman hummed: "Nia..."

  Tang Jie let go of his hand and slowly stood up: "Nia? What a great name!"

  Niya also stood up, her chest heaving constantly, staring fixedly at the man in front of her.

  Tang Jie looked at the woman in front of him and sighed, saying: "What a beautiful woman, why must you fight and kill?"

  Niya glared at him and said coldly: "I am not a woman!"

  Tang Jie's mouth was agape, his eyes fixed intently on Nia's chest: "How could you possibly not be a woman?"

  "Nia angrily said: 'From birth, no one has ever treated me like a woman!'"

  Tang Jie sighed: "Men who don't take you as a woman must be blind!"

  Nia gritted her teeth: "I hate men like you who are so glib and smooth-tongued!"

  Tang Jie raised his two hands and made a surrendering gesture: "Alright, I'm smooth-tongued, you're ruthless, we're even! For what happened just now, I can only apologize. As for your desire for my eyes, I really can't grant it! I've just crossed over and still want to use them to take a look at the beauties of this world! Dig them out? Ah, what a pity!"

  Time travel? What time travel?

  Niya hummed a sound, didn't speak, but when Tang Jie wasn't paying attention, she glanced at the long sword on the wall with the corner of her eye.

  Tang Jie backed away slowly to the door: "You see, I'm leaving now and won't say anything to anyone. Let's pretend I never came in, you pretend I never came in, and we'll all pretend nothing ever happened. How about that?"

  Nia smiled: "Okay, sounds pretty good!"

  She suddenly flew over to the wall, pulled out a long sword, and her body's aura burst out in anger: "But all of this has already happened, so come and accept your fate!!"

  "Damn it! She's a completely unreasonable crazy woman!"

  He looked at the aura on Nia's body and felt a chill in his heart. He quickly turned around, opened the door and rushed out.

  Tang Jie had just rushed out of the door and turned into the cabin passage when he heard a loud noise behind him. A fierce aura slammed into the place where he had just been, shattering the wooden boards!

  Some splinters flew into his flesh, causing him pain and shock, his heart racing wildly.

  And at the other end of the cabin, the pirates who had been waiting for him to come out saw that he had escaped and shouted in unison: "He's over there, catch him quickly!"

  Tang Jie muttered a curse under his breath and turned to run away.

  Behind him came Niya's clear and angry shout: "Catch him for me, I want to tear him into pieces!"
