In the alliance, the more they attack me, the stronger I become!

No little boy can resist the teasing of a gentle and beautiful big sister.

That tingling feeling would definitely make him freeze in place as if he had been electrocuted.

Well...at least that's what Sarah thought.

But what she didn't expect was that Cheng Xiao not only didn't have any strange reaction, but instead showed a puzzled expression.

"what are you doing?"

"Eh...?" Sarah was stunned again.

Cheng Xiao took a half step back, breaking away from the gentle embrace, and said seriously: "You may have misunderstood what I meant. This is not what I meant."

"...?" Sarah looked embarrassed. "What is that?"

"I mean, I hope you can always stand by me in the future."

"Ok?"

"If I need any help in Bilgewater, I hope you will help me without hesitation," Cheng Xiao said. "Conversely, if you're in trouble, I can also lend you a hand—for example, I'll help you eliminate the Noxian military camp that's still in Bilgewater."

"Um... ahem, I understand." Sarah coughed twice to hide her embarrassment. "That's fine. It's completely natural given our relationship."

"Yeah." Cheng Xiao nodded, then smiled playfully: "What did you think I meant just now?"

"..."

"Did you think of something bad?"

"No……"

"About what you promised me before?"

“No, no… Really not…”

"After I help you, can we do something more intimate or something?"

"..."

Sarah simply turned her head to the other side, thinking that as long as she didn't admit it, everything would be fine. At most, she would just be made fun of.

But suddenly, Cheng Xiao changed the subject and talked about another issue - a question that went straight to her heart:

"You want to eradicate all of Gangplank's followers, right? Even those who have had only a slight interest in him?"

“…” Hearing this, Sarah was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded honestly.

She didn't want to deceive this little brother who had helped her a lot, but she also knew that many things could not be hidden from him.

"I don't recommend that." Cheng Xiao sat down next to him and pulled Sarah to sit down with him. "Take a closer look at Bilgewater right now—I mean ordinary people, not those gang members."

Sarah looked in the direction of the other person's finger. The town outside the dock had also been destroyed beyond recognition.

Some people's houses were affected by the artillery fire and turned into ruins in an instant. Some people were hiding in the stone piles with their children, and some were crying, but they were not all pirates.

"These sacrifices were necessary to eliminate Gangplank and end his era of evil..." Sarah said through gritted teeth. "Everyone understands that only with Gangplank's death can Bilgewater be truly protected... I will compensate these innocent people who made these sacrifices."

"Then what?" Cheng Xiao asked again.

"What then?"

"Can you guarantee that you won't accidentally hurt anyone else when you go to wipe out the remaining Gangplank's followers?"

"If they are really injured by mistake, I will compensate them then!"

"Exchange gold coins for the lives of the child's parents?" Cheng Xiao shook her head and smiled.

These words touched the pain deep in Sarah's heart.

She is the child whose parents were taken away from her when she was young... Even if she is compensated with gold coins, won't other children seek revenge on her?

She was aware of this problem, but she still stood firm in her idea - to root out the problem, the remnants of Planck must die no matter what!

If the child of someone she accidentally killed really comes to seek revenge on her in the future...she will accept it!

Sarah thought so.

But Cheng Xiao doesn't think so.

He was willing to help Sarah rise to power, but he didn't want her to become the next Gangplank. He wanted an obedient and peaceful Bilgewater, not a chaotic city full of fighting, murder, and gang wars.

"If you just want to get rid of Gangplank's faction, then I support you. After all, everyone knows that you should root out the grass when you cut it. But if you want to kill everyone who has had any connection with Gangplank, then I don't recommend it."

Cheng Xiao knew what became of Sarah in the original timeline - the dragon slayer eventually became a dragon, and the vengeful Sarah became the empress of Bilgewater, but she was also the second tyrant, even more brutal than Gangplank.

He didn't want Bilgewater to become like that, otherwise he would have trouble controlling it.

So he will try his best to change Sarah's twisted thinking that has fallen into a dead end.

"I understand how you feel, Miss Sarah. After killing Gangplank, you felt a deep sense of loss, didn't you? The pursuit of many years in life was suddenly fulfilled, and you no longer knew what to do next. So you transferred the hatred that could not be erased from your heart onto others."

“…” Hearing this, Sarah pursed her lips and lowered her head, but the hatred in her eyes did not disappear.

A person who can lie dormant for fifteen years for revenge will naturally not be shaken by a few words from others.

She might agree to Cheng Xiao on the surface, but after she leaves, she will still carry out her brutal and bloody plan.

And Cheng Xiao also understands this truth.

So when the other person was silent, he moved a little closer, and their hands on the bench almost touched.

"Why not divert some attention?" Cheng Xiao said with a smile.

"What...does that mean?" Sarah asked puzzledly.

"If you don't know what to do and want to seek revenge, you might as well do something else to distract yourself. That way you will feel much calmer."

"For example?"

"For example..." Cheng Xiao paused, then smiled and pointed a finger at herself. "Like you said before, 'Let's do something more intimate together,' how about that?"

“…” Sarah was stunned by the sudden teasing.

She subconsciously looked at the other person - although she had seen him many times, her mentality was different this time.

Before, I looked at it cautiously and purposefully, but now I look at it with a calm and appreciative eye.

Cheng Xiao...is really good.

Young, strong, and a bit humorous... Reliable when it comes to serious matters, and quite entertaining in everyday life. And it's obvious at first glance that he's a completely inexperienced young man...

Indeed, better than any man he had ever met.

She even felt that comparing Cheng Xiao to the group of stinky men she had met in Bilgewater before was an insult to Cheng Xiao.

She has lived for revenge for all these years... maybe it's time to live for herself?

Although this will not erase any hatred, it might be nice to have some fun... just treat it as a different form of entertainment.

By the way, I can also use this to fool Cheng Xiao, so that he won’t keep watching me to see if I am doing anything bad.

Hmm... After he leaves, I will continue to do my business...

Well, when he leaves...

"You're really thinking about me, your sister?" Sarah grabbed the other person's collar, looking very strong. "How old are you? You're already thinking about this?"

"That's what you said." Cheng Xiao just smiled and didn't resist.

"But didn't you just offer me another condition as payment? I'll do something for you in the future?"

"Hmm... that seems to make some sense." Cheng Xiao scratched his head. "Then let me think about whether there is anything else that can distract you?"

"..." Sarah's eyes twitched, and she tugged at the man's ear again. "How come you're so smart and stupid at the same time?"

"Uh..." Cheng Xiao was a little dizzy, but she also felt that the other party agreed. "Then... hug me first?"

As he spoke he moved over.

But Sarah dodged immediately.

She no longer had the charm, seduction, and composure she had displayed during her earlier flirtation. Instead, she exuded a hint of... embarrassment? A very genuine shyness that even the most skilled of actors couldn't imitate.

This forms a sharp contrast with her sexy and open image.

She stretched out her slender jade finger and flicked Cheng Xiao's forehead, then said in a slightly complaining tone: "Don't you understand what I mean? Since I have already repaid you with other conditions, you can't do this recklessly - no more!"

"Hmm...so it's still not working." Cheng Xiao scratched his head again, "Then I just have to find something else for you to do. How about you come with me to travel to Freljord? Seeing the outside world can also help you calm down."

Straight! Too straight!

Sarah was speechless for a moment and gave the other person a blank look.

But when she saw the other person's sincere look, she couldn't bear to let him guess anymore.

She sighed helplessly.

Then turn your head to the other side again.

Cheng Xiao seemed to see an unnatural blush appearing on that fair and beautiful face.

"I mean... you can't be so direct, stupid brother."

Sarah's voice was very soft, totally unlike her usual carefree self.

But perhaps, this is her who lives for herself - the real her.

"You should start with something simple... Treat me to a meal, go shopping... or something like that."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiao made a sound of sudden enlightenment.

This made Sarah laugh again - her sincere smile made her look no longer charming or seductive, nor like the majestic Queen of Bilgewater, but more like a mature older sister with blank emotions.

In a trance, she seemed to feel that the hatred in her heart was not so strong, at least it did not make her extremely irritable.

Could this "distraction" method really work? She began to doubt... Could it be that once she had her own life and emotions, she would no longer be obsessed with endless hatred?

She shook her head vigorously again, getting rid of those thoughts. She had to get revenge, she had to kill those people.

Just have to wait a moment... Wait until Cheng Xiao leaves. This love game is just a play, it will be over soon.

Just wait for Cheng Xiao to leave... Just wait for him to leave...

That’s it… ?

should……?

While Sarah was thinking, her warm little hand was grabbed.

She felt a little flustered for a moment, but when she looked up, she saw Cheng Xiao's warm and sunny smile again.

At this moment, she felt a long-lost peace in more than ten years. She seemed to have nothing to think about and just enjoy the present moment.

"Ms. Sarah, how about I invite you to go shopping and have a meal first?" Cheng Xiao still looked sincere...so silly and cute.

Sarah didn't agree immediately, but looked towards the dock and the town. After such a big event, everyone was still busy.

Obviously, now is not the time to be a hands-off boss, she still has a lot of finishing work to do.

but……

Never mind, there’s no need to rush.

"Let's go~!"

Chapter 118 Sarah's Wardrobe

Bilgewater was in chaos at this time.

What happens in North Shore Port does not directly affect everyone, but it will indirectly affect the residents of the entire city through various factors such as economy, gangs, connections, and power.

Today, no one can remain calm. Everyone is doing their best to deal with matters related to themselves - either running away with money, or avoiding risks, or taking advantage of opportunities to gain benefits.

In short, today is the most special day in Bilgewater in decades.

But... the "culprit" who caused all this seemed unusually calm at this moment.

The infamous Miss Fortune was seen wandering aimlessly down the street with a young man, chatting and laughing, seemingly just enjoying a stroll.

Almost everyone knew that the fleet that bombarded Planck's fleet was led by the Siren, and quite a few knew that the captain of the Siren was replaced by Miss Fortune not long ago.

In other words, some people have already guessed that the person who killed Gangplank was this bounty hunter who was only in his twenties.

All kinds of rumors spread in the city. From the bustling downtown area to the remote alleys, almost everywhere there were eyes watching the bounty hunter who accomplished such a fantastic feat.
