The days when I wanted to be a human being

The moon in the sky is moving slowly.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang!"

"laugh!"

The sound of knives colliding on the beach never stopped, mixed with the sound of flesh being cut by sharp blades.

Just hearing the sound can make people feel a dull pain.

Unfortunately, there was no one else on the beach except for the two people and a suit of armor.

"laugh!"

Zhou Ling felt the coldness of the knife cutting his arm, and the pain that followed.

With a frown, he slashed at the excited Shanks again.

After fighting for such a long time, Zhou Ling couldn't help but sigh that Shanks' fighting talent was a bit scary.

At the beginning, Zhou Ling didn't take Shanks' counterattack seriously, but after fighting for most of the night.

Shanks' attacks became more and more intense under the effect of the 'Berserk Potion'.

Zhou Ling also had to concentrate and deal with Shanks' counterattack.

But even so, she couldn't completely block Shanks' attack.

She was very happy with the results.

After all, if Shanks can become stronger faster, she can leave with more peace of mind then.

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhou Ling noticed that Shanks' face had turned very red, almost catching up with his hair color.

At this time, Zhou Ling also felt that it was time to end the battle.

Shanks had been training since yesterday during the day, and now he had been through a night of fighting.

If it weren't for the 'Berserk Potion', I would have probably laid down long ago.

"Qiang!"

Zhou Ling had a brief outburst, cut off Shanks' knife, and looked at Shanks, whose face was flushed.

"Shanks, this is it..."

"No! I'm still okay!" Shanks didn't wait for Zhou Ling to finish his words, he rushed to the side, picked up the knife, and slashed at Zhou Ling again.

Zhou Ling frowned. She seemed to have underestimated the effect of the "Rage Potion".

After she dropped the water and fire sword in her hand, she shaved behind Shanks, picked up his arm and rushed to the sea.

When Zhou Ling noticed that Shanks was still trying to swing the knife at her, she used her mental power to pull the knife out of Shanks' hand.

"Oh!"

The struggling Shanks was thrown into the sea by Zhou Ling.

Shanks quickly woke up surrounded by the cold sea water.

He felt the salty taste in his mouth and realized that he was in the sea.

After swimming to the beach with great effort, he lay down on the beach powerlessly.

After taking a few deep breaths and looking at the slightly bright sky, he finally had the energy to think about what had happened that day and night.

He actually fought with Zhou Ling for a whole night!

Although it was hard to believe, Shanks accepted this fact.

But he soon figured it out; all this seemed to be related to the water attached to Zhou Lingdao.

Although it has a restorative effect, it is not as good as that of a pacifier, but it has effects that a pacifier does not have.

Thinking of this, Shanks suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

After exercising for a whole day and night without rest, he suddenly didn't want to move anymore when he calmed down.

"Wow...I don't want to move."

Looking at Zhou Ling who was falling from the sky and standing next to him, Shanks said weakly.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to continue? Why don't you want to move now?"

Zhou Ling said this with a smile as he began to use his mental power to control his life energy to repair his torn clothes.

Although clothes can repair themselves, that is only when the damage is minor.

If the damage is too severe, she will have to do it herself.

She didn't want to mend her clothes while fighting before, so she just left it until now.

Seeing Shanks not wanting to move, Zhou Ling directly asked the auxiliary system to take Shanks back.

She just turned around and walked out.

Shanks, who was picked up by the support system, spoke at this time.

"I...I want a good hug." Shanks said in a very small voice, and his ears turned red after he said that.

"Huh?" Zhou Ling, who had already walked several steps forward, heard Shanks's words as soft as a mosquito and asked in doubt.

Zhou Ling walked back a few steps, came to the Flame Dragon Armor, and said jokingly: "Call me Auntie, and I will hug you."

After Shanks heard Zhou Ling's teasing words, his already red face became even redder.

"I...I want Aunt Miao to hug me."

"Okay, okay, auntie will come and hug you right away." Zhou Ling smiled and took Shanks directly from the auxiliary system.

She carried him back to the cave in a princess hug.

In Zhou Ling's slightly warm embrace, the tired Shanks gradually closed his eyes.

Just before Shanks was about to fall into a deep sleep, a voice came from above his head.

"Shanks, why did you become stronger?"

After hearing Zhou Ling's words, Shanks, who was very sleepy, didn't think much and murmured, "I want to... protect Mya..."

After that, only the faint snoring was left.

Zhou Ling was a little surprised when he heard Shanks' answer, but then he regained his composure.

What happened in the past few days should have left a deep impression on Shanks.

After all, Zhou Ling has never shown too much power in front of Shanks.

She left the task of catching sea animals to the auxiliary system, selling sea animals to the auxiliary system, processing sea animals, roasting sea animal meat, everything was done by the auxiliary system.

So this may have left Shanks with the impression that she was very weak, but her behavior in the past two days was a huge contrast to her previous performance.

This may have aroused the boy's machismo, so Zhou Ling was not surprised at all that Shanks said this.

……

In the evening when the sun sets and the sky turns yellow.

Shanks just came out of the cave and onto the beach.

"Miao, did you ask me anything before I went to bed?"

After Shanks sat down, he immediately asked Zhou Ling.

But he didn't look at Zhou Ling, but stared at the burning fire in front of him.

"you say…"

Zhou Ling, who was standing by, noticed that although Shanks didn't look at her, he pricked up his ears, as if he was afraid of missing what she would say next.

She continued, "You said you would protect me, Shanks."

Zhou Ling noticed that after she finished speaking, Shanks' ears quickly turned red.

"Shanks are you shy?"

"No...no!" After his thoughts were revealed, Shanks waved his hands and hurriedly denied it.

"..."

At this time, Zhou Ling stopped talking.

For a moment, the only sound was the crackling of burning wood.

Shanks looked at Zhou Ling's face, which was red from the flames, and suddenly, as if he had made some kind of decision, he mustered up his courage and said firmly:

"Wow...I want to be a marine."

"What?! Say it again!"

Zhou Ling stared at Shanks and spoke hurriedly.

She really didn't expect Shanks to suddenly say such a thing. After all, it was really too scary.

The last time she wanted Shanks to be an ordinary citizen, she immediately received a warning from 'Sky'.

But now Shanks doesn’t want to be a pirate, but wants to be a marine.

That’s okay! ?

Zhou Ling immediately paid extra attention, guarding against the warning from "the sky" that might come down at any time.
