Lulunaka stroked Rei's hair, her thoughts unknown.
After a while, she said to the others, "Then we should talk separately. It's not good for everyone to listen in on some private matters."
Lulunaka looked at Xu Qing and Tu Ju. "You have many questions too. You want to ask someone who can answer them.
Then she's the best choice. "Lulunaka pointed at Long Xiao.
Long Xiao looked at Xu Qing and Tu Ju.
Xu Qing and Tu Ju felt a lot of pressure from meeting such a Dragonborn's gaze.
They had seen many demons and ghosts, and all kinds of strange things could not make them feel anything. However, Long Xiao was different. She was an existence completely different from the Dragonborn they had met along the way.
She did not use any means to pressure Xu Qing and Tu Ju. Just by looking at the two of them, her pair of dragon eyes made Xu Qing much more obedient.
"Foreigners from the East, are you Vagabonds?" Long Xiao asked.
"We came with a mission. We are not Vagabonds who wander without roots and die in a foreign land." Tu Ju was the first to answer, and she used the language of the far east.
Long Xiao did not hesitate. She switched to the same language as Tu Ju and continued, "Vagabonds come here to ask about martial arts and Dao. You don't seem to be here for that.
Then you should know that if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have met Vagabonds who came with a mission. "
Long Xiao looked at Lulunaka. Lulunaka smiled at her. "Visitors like you are much more troublesome than Vagabonds."
"Thank you for your understanding. We are also very grateful for Madam's help." Tu Ju said to Long Xiao. "We cherish this opportunity."
Long Xiao nodded, but Xu Qing looked like he didn't really understand. He and Tu Ju weren't from the same place. If Tu Ju used her mother tongue, it would be very difficult for him to understand clearly.
"Can you communicate in a language I can understand? This is not fair to me." Xu Qing said.
"Don't worry. Next, it will be the three of us talking."
Long Xiao stood up and pointed to the other side. "Let's talk over there. I also want to know about the Central Plains all these years."
"That's … such an honor." Xu Qing scratched his head.
He did not expect that other than Lulunaka, there would be another person who could communicate so skillfully in the Central Plains language. Moreover, it was a Draconian like Long Xiao.
If Long Xiao were to be treated as one of those indecent demons, then it would not be too out of place.
However, Xu Qing's eyes could not see Long Xiao as something like that. Her existence was too great.
Before leaving, Long Xiao asked Lulunaka, "Is there anything you're worried about?"
Lurunaka shook her head. "I'm not worried about you. Whatever they ask you, you can answer them. Just say it.
However, I can't let your father speak carelessly. "
Long Xiao brought Xu Qing and Tu Ju to another place, leaving behind Lulunaka, Dina, and Romuona, as well as the sleeping Rei.
Lulunaka looked at Romuona. "Well, now that we have space, we can talk properly. We don't need to care about whether there are other people around.
Tell me, how many people has this child killed over the years?
She can't even hide the smell of blood on her body. If it weren't for the fact that we're so high up, it would probably be even more smelly. "
Dina sniffed at the side as if she had smelled something bad.
For a woman, it would be too shameful if she could not get rid of the stench on her body. However, the smell of blood on Rei's body was not that simple.
It was not the usual smell of blood. It was a trace left behind by years of soaking in blood. It was more like a kind of "impurity" that only people with discerning eyes could sense. This smell of blood also carried the salty smell of the sea breeze.
Rei had killed a lot of people, and it was at sea.
"A lot. I could only bring her here to let her calm down and avoid suspicion."
Romuona said. "She had some differences with her adoptive father and friends, so she left just like that. After that, she became a pirate in the northern waters of the Sand Land. As long as she could eat something, she would eat it clean.
Women and children are fine, but the others … "Romuona shook her head and did not continue.
"She's really quite decent. She's a pirate.
And she's a woman. She's quite confident in letting go of women and children. "
Lulunaka laughed. "It seems that she's a flexible sea snake. She must be living a good life."
"She's just causing trouble."
Romuona said. "Her behavior is a disaster that will befall the merchants at any time. She's like a storm that can happen at any time in the sea."
Lulunaka thought of Rei's adoptive father. He was a dwarf that she got along well with. Many of her things were sold through his channels. Although it was said that they were sold, in fact, they were just disseminated out of interest.
"There's nothing to be conflicted about. What's the difference between a merchant and a pirate? We can discuss this.
But that's not what I'm interested in now. I'm not interested in why she's doing this. "
For Lulunaka, she was already tired of hearing about the so-called secret family affairs of the big families. She did not care why Rei, who was adopted, was doing this. She was only interested in why Rei was brought to this small world outside of civilization.
"Her adoptive father asked her to do this," Romuona replied. "This is what he left for Rei," Romuona took out a crumpled letter from her pocket and handed it to Lulunaka.
Lulunaka saw that the letter was filled with words, but the words at the end were the most obvious. It was written with a lot of strength and a lot of ink. It was almost not written: You don't need to worry about the business. You'll lose everything if you go down the wrong path.
Lulunaka skimmed through the letter and handed it back to Romuona. "The relationship between family members is really complicated."
"Can you understand?" Romuona said, but it seemed that she was not just talking about Rei.
Lulunaka touched her chin. "It's not complicated for me. I just can't understand it."
"Me too," Romuona said.
Dina looked at the two of them talking like they were talking in riddles. She could not understand them at all. Just as she was about to leave, Lulunaka grabbed her. "Wait, you can't go anywhere. Let people see what you look like."
She grabbed Dina, who was shouting, and pressed her in front of Romuona. "Have you seen this little brat before?"
Romuona looked at Dina. Being stared at by a woman she did not know, Dina felt a little creeped out for some reason. She felt like she had been seen through.
Dina, who was not afraid of anything, did not know why she had such a reaction. The heart in her chest did not react to such pressure. It was beating very steadily.
"Why is its heart in her body?" Romuona asked.
