She burst into tears, releasing all the grievances, pain, and hatred she had felt over the past eight years.
Just as she was crying so hard she was about to faint, a pair of warm and strong arms gently lifted her up from the cold ground.
It's a princess hug.
Nami looked up through teary eyes and saw Gu Chuan's handsome face, which was close to hers, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Alright, you crybaby."
he said softly.
"Your nightmare is over."
"From today onwards, you are free."
86. The Oath of Selling Oneself and the Kiss of the Gods
Gu Chuan held the girl in his arms, who was crying so hard she was almost fainting, and did not linger there.
He simply touched the ground with his toes, and an invisible, gentle force lifted the two of them up, slowly flying towards the sky.
"Huh?! It's flying?!"
The sudden feeling of weightlessness jolted Nami awake from her sorrow. She instinctively clung to Gu Chuan's neck, and when she realized she was truly soaring through the sky like a bird, her beautiful orange eyes were once again filled with incomprehensible awe.
However, when her gaze fell upon that handsome face with a gentle smile so close to hers, another thought, even more unsettling, struck her mind like lightning.
"I can give you everything I have!"
"From this moment on, you have successfully sold yourself to me."
The "oath of servitude" he had just made in despair, and his possessive declaration that the "deal was done," echoed wildly in her ears like a curse!
He... he's flying through the sky, holding himself in his arms...
Are we... are we going to fulfill that "deal" right now?!
Here?! In the sky?!
"No, no... It's too... too fast..."
Nami's pretty face flushed crimson from her neck to her ears. Her mind went blank, her body stiffened with extreme tension and shyness, and her heart pounded wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her throat.
She even started having wild thoughts: if something were to actually "happen," should she resist, or... or submit? After all, she was already his...
"What are you thinking?"
Looking at the adorable girl in his arms, who was so absent-minded and whose cheeks were as red as if they were about to bleed, Gu Chuan couldn't help but find it a little funny. How could he not know what a wonderful inner drama was playing out in this little wildcat's mind?
He deliberately put on a stern face and said in a serious tone, "Don't overthink it. We're going to handle some after-sales service now."
"After-sales service?" Nami blinked blankly.
“Hmm,” Gu Chuan’s gaze fell on the distant Dragon Park, a building filled with sin and bloodshed, perched on the island like a sea monster. “Although A-Long is dead, his compatriots are still alive. I promised you that I would end all of this. So, before leaving, we must clean up all this garbage.”
So...so they went to deal with the remaining murlocs?
Nami felt a sense of relief, but also a strange, inexplicable sense of loss... a small disappointment that she herself dared not admit.
Soon, the two landed in front of the mocking gates of Dragon Park.
Upon hearing the commotion, dozens of the remaining merfolk who had stayed in the park immediately rushed out, weapons in hand, looking menacing.
"Who goes there? Er Yiwu (Qi%X鹨删鸸.-月椅! How dare you trespass on Brother A Long's property......"
They could talk forever.
Gu Chuan didn't even put Nami down; he just held her in his arms. Then, casually, he raised his other hand and gently waved it towards the sinful lair in front of him, which symbolized Nami's eight-year nightmare.
It was as if they were shooing away an annoying fly.
"——Shinra Tensei."
He spoke in an extremely calm tone the name of a technique that did not belong to this world, yet possessed the same "divine power".
next second.
An invisible, invincible, and absolute repulsive force erupted from Gu Chuan's center!
That wasn't wind, nor was it a shock wave; it was a higher-level, unreasonable "push" that acted on space itself!
"boom--!!!!!!!!!"
The earth is shaking!
In Nami's vacant, thoughtless gaze, the entire Arlong Park, along with all the fish-men, all the buildings, and all the evil within, was uprooted from its foundation by an irresistible, terrifying force in that instant! Then, in mid-air, it was completely crushed, torn apart, and turned into dust and powder filling the sky!
one strike.
Just one blow.
The entire park was completely and physically erased from the map of the island!
All that remained was an enormous, smooth, mirror-like circular crater, and dust that drifted everywhere, like the ashes of a sinner.
Nami stared blankly at the "world-destroying" scene before her, feeling her soul trembling incessantly before this absolute power.
Respect, worship, awe...
All these emotions eventually coalesced into a strong sense of inferiority that made her feel ashamed of herself.
yes……
He was so powerful, so distant, like a god walking among mortals.
And what about himself? He was nothing more than a petty thief cat, born in a remote village in the East China Sea, reeking of money, and good for nothing except navigation and thievery.
Am I really good enough for him?
To someone like him, was that vow to "sell himself" just... a laughable, insignificant joke?
Gu Chuan keenly sensed the sudden drop in mood and inferiority in the girl in his arms.
He didn't speak.
He simply lowered his head silently, and under the girl's bewildered and confused gaze, he gently pressed his lips against her soft and slightly cool lips.
"!"
Nami's eyes widened to their limit in an instant! Her mind went completely blank!
The kiss was light and gentle, devoid of any lust, yet it carried an undeniable, domineering tenderness.
After the kiss, Gu Chuan looked into her completely dazed orange eyes and said softly in a magnetic tone, as if making a declaration:
"—You're already mine, don't overthink it."
"Who, who is yours!" Nami snapped back to reality like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Her face flushed red as she retorted, but her voice was weak and feeble, like a mosquito's hum.
However, at this moment, the heart that had become cold due to inferiority was completely filled with a warm current called "happiness".
At this moment when the atmosphere was at its sweetest—
[Ding! The "Doomsday Companionship" mission is complete!]
[Mission Rating: S (Perfect)]
[The task is being settled...]
[Congratulations, Observer! You have earned 410 x 2000 Doomsday Points!]
[Congratulations, Little Thief Cat! You have earned 1000 Doomsday Points! And you have received the exclusive title: [The Terminator of the Evil Dragon]!]
A series of system notifications rang in their minds simultaneously.
"Points?" Nami stared blankly at her suddenly appearing "huge sum" of one thousand points, somewhat at a loss.
“Yes,” Gu Chuan patiently explained to her, “This is a reward from the system. You can use it in the group shop to buy all sorts of items and abilities, or to strengthen yourself.”
“Well…” Nami hesitated for a moment, then handed her points trading interface to Gu Chuan and whispered, “These… are all for you. Consider it… consider it my… payment to you…”
She still felt that she owed him too much.
In response, Gu Chuan gave her a gentle, indulgent flick on the forehead.
"Ouch!"
"Silly girl." Gu Chuan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at her adorable face, tears welling up in her eyes. "Your points are yours, but you are mine."
“My woman doesn’t need to pay me this way.”
These words, brimming with both domineering and doting affection, made Nami's heart skip a beat once more. Their relationship quickly warmed up in this sweet and relaxed atmosphere.
However, just as the two were enjoying this heartwarming interaction after surviving the ordeal...
A series of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the woods not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a group of men dressed in strange clothes and carrying various weapons slowly emerged from the shadows.
End of 87
"You murloc bastards! Let's fight them!"
"For Nami! For Nojiko! Not a single man in our Cocoyasi Village is a coward!"
"Even if it means death, I'll take a piece of their flesh!"
Leading the group was A-Jian, wearing a windmill-shaped hat and a sheriff's uniform, along with villagers who had rushed over upon hearing the news, armed with various farm tools and homemade weapons. They had heard the deafening roar coming from Dragon Park and assumed that the fish-men had harmed Nami. All of them were prepared to die and had come to fight to the death.
However, when they rushed out of the woods and saw the scene before them that looked like divine punishment, everyone's steps seemed to be nailed to the spot, and all their shouts were stuck in their throats.
Dragon Park... is gone.
The evil lair that had entrenched itself on the island, bringing them eight years of humiliation and despair, had vanished completely. In its place was a massive, circular ruin, as large as a sinkhole, and... countless, indistinguishable limbs and torsos belonging to the fish-men.
A strong smell of blood filled the air.
In the center of this ruin, which resembled a painting of hell, they saw it.
They saw Nami, the orange-haired girl who had always wanted to protect and who had carried all the pain alone.
She was being held safely in the arms of a handsome young man they had never seen before, dressed in strange black clothing, in a possessive, princess-carrying manner.
"Nami?!"
A gasp filled with shock and bewilderment came from the crowd.
Nokiko, with her short blue hair, rushed out from behind A-Shen. When she saw her sister embracing a strange man so intimately, her mind went completely blank.
“You…you two…” Noki pointed at the two of them, momentarily at a loss for words.
"Ah!" Nami finally snapped out of her sweet reverie. Seeing the villagers, especially her sister and A-Jian's astonished looks, her pretty face flushed crimson. She frantically pulled away from Gu Chuan's embrace, stammering, "No, it's not what you think! He, he..."
The villagers were initially bewildered by the situation. They looked at the fish-man corpses scattered on the ground, then at the strange young man who had suddenly appeared with an extraordinary air about him, their faces filled with confusion and wariness.
It wasn't until Ah Jian stepped forward, trembling, that he kicked the already cold corpse of a fishman cadre with his toe, and looked at the ruins of the Dragon Park that had been completely razed to the ground. Only then did a look of ecstasy and disbelief slowly appear on his weathered face.
“Dead… all dead…” His voice trembled. “Arlong… and his pirate crew… all… all dead!”
These words were like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake, instantly igniting the emotions of the entire village!
After a brief, deathly silence—
"Wa ...
A deafening roar of cheers and cries, like a flash flood, echoed throughout the entire village of Cocoaxi!
"Victory! We have won!"
"It's over! Eight years of nightmares are finally over!"
The villagers threw down their weapons, embraced each other, and wept bitterly. Some knelt on the ground, kissing the land that had regained its freedom; others looked up to the sky and roared, venting all the pain and grievances that had been accumulating for eight years.
The entire village was enveloped in a sea of happiness, filled with tears and laughter.
Nami watched this scene unfold before her, seeing the villagers who had been forced to wear fake smiles because of her, now finally revealing genuine smiles. Her eyes welled up with tears again. (Part 8)
She turned around and hugged Nokiko and A-Jian, who were also in tears.
“Mom…” Nami choked up, burying her face in her sister’s shoulder, “Miss Bellemere…can you see? We…are free.”
“Yes, she must have seen it.” Nojiko stroked her hair, her voice also trembling with tears. “She must be proud of us.”
As the villagers' celebrations gradually subsided and they dispersed, preparing to welcome the newborn with a real, grand banquet, A-Jian and Nuoqigao approached Gu Chuan.
