"You have a daughter as well; I'm curious about her whereabouts?"
Since true talent must be managed with care, Wang Yue inquired with genuine interest.
A young girl of about twelve or thirteen years old emerged from the crowd, standing beside Zhuang Wenxian with a shy demeanor. Despite her youth, she had clearly inherited her mother's refined features and was already becoming a beauty.
"This is Xiaodie, my daughter," Zhuang Wenxian said, introducing her.
"Very well. Aunt Zhuang, you are welcome to join us. As for your child, I am unsure of your plans for her, but I will do my utmost to meet your requirements," Wang Yue stated.
Though she seemed timid, Xiaodie spoke up firmly, "I want to fight the pirates alongside my mother."
Zhuang Wenxian added, "Xiaodie is the only family I have left; I need her to stay with me."
"That is fine, both of you may join our ranks," Wang Yue consented.
A gifted individual like Zhuang Wenxian, who had undergone such a profound change, was worth any price; furthermore, her request to keep her daughter close was hardly an imposition.
Additionally, Xiaodie appeared quite bright, and training her might produce yet another exceptional subordinate.
It seemed Zhuang Wenxian’s testimony had ignited a collective rage against the marauders, as over half of the women present asked to join the group dedicated to hunting pirates.
Wang Yue responded quickly, "Do not make a rash choice; reflect on this seriously first. I will have someone take a formal count tomorrow."
Choices fueled by momentary passion are often unreliable; if anyone regretted their decision after enlisting, it would create complications, so Wang Yue refrained from granting their requests immediately.
Afterward, Wang Yue and Su Mengqing managed to soothe the emotional crowd before exiting the cabin.
"Why didn't you just keep all of them?" Su Mengqing questioned once they were alone.
"What purpose would it serve to keep so many people here?" Wang Yue asked in return.
"For dual cultivation," Su Mengqing replied, giving him a look that suggested she was disappointed in his lack of foresight. She added, "If you engaged in cultivation with all fourteen hundred of these women, you would certainly break through to the 'Transcendent Realm.' At that point, why would the Zhang family even matter?"
Wang Yue gave a bitter smile, "My dear auntie, they would have to actually consent to that. Otherwise, what would make me any different from those pirates?"
"Did you wait for my permission the first time you slept with me?" Su Mengqing asked with a scoff.
"But didn't you eventually get conquered by my... great strength, and become completely loyal to me?"
"That isn't the same. You are my nephew; I naturally look after you, but these women are total strangers," Wang Yue argued.
"Life is more than just sex. Not every woman becomes devoted to a man simply because of a powerful physical experience," Su Mengqing remarked.
"What are you implying? Are you saying I am merely a creature of lust?" Su Mengqing asked, sounding annoyed.
"No, certainly not. You are my auntie. Even without those things, you would always be kind to me, wouldn't you? Our bond is rooted in love, not just physical desire."
Hearing his words, Su Mengqing’s irritation shifted to delight, though she maintained a haughty front: "Who says I love you? If you couldn't satisfy me so thoroughly, I wouldn't bother with you at all."
"Yes, yes, my dear auntie. So, when will you allow me to please you again?" Wang Yue couldn't resist wrapping his arms around her.
Surrounded by so many beauties, he had been restrained for over twenty-four hours, and his blood was surging with excitement.
"Right now," Su Mengqing answered, pulling Wang Yue into an embrace.
The pair located a nearby cabin and disappeared inside.
By evening, the submarine was fully operational again, thanks to the immense technical skills of Yan Fangfei.
Wang Yue then decided that the two vessels should go their separate ways.
Yan Fangfei and the four ladies from the Hongling group would take the submarine to hunt down pirate fleets, while also recruiting and training any willing women they rescued.
Meanwhile, the yacht would continue along its planned path.
To properly deceive their enemies, they had to commit to the ruse; returning home immediately would surely trigger the suspicions of the Tianhai Zhang family. If the Zhangs believed Wang Yue remained ignorant of their secrets, they would be less likely to strike prematurely.
Ultimately, a pirate crew was insignificant compared to the Zhang family; their primary concern was keeping their ties to the pirates hidden.
Wang Yue spent that entire night with Yan Fangfei and the four women of the Hongling group. Knowing they would be apart for several days, he wanted to ensure their needs were fully met.
Furthermore, to further cultivate Yan Fangfei, Wang Yue brought them all into a single room for an intimate encounter involving all six of them. However, her stoic nature left him somewhat unsatisfied.
Even though her physical reactions intensified while alongside the Hongling women, she still refused to use words or expressions to communicate; her constant composure was frustrating, yet it only made Wang Yue more determined to break through her shell.
It is notable that because he focused so heavily on the quality of their dual cultivation, the energy accumulated from the previous night combined with this intense session allowed Wang Yue to achieve a breakthrough.
He ascended to the fifth level of the Gui Zhen realm, moving significantly closer to the peak of that stage and the subsequent transformation realm.
Wang Yue’s advancement also boosted the efficiency of his cultivation partners.
By morning, the four Hongling women had risen to the seventh level of the Tian Yuan realm, reaching Su Mengqing’s level, while Yan Fangfei reached the third level of the Tian Yuan realm as her latent energy was fully triggered.
With these five powerful subordinates, he was confident they could handle even major threats like the Tiger Shark Pirates.
Consequently, Wang Yue felt no anxiety after they departed. With time on his hands, he went to the deck, set up his gear, and began to fish.
The weather was a sharp contrast to the gloom of their departure, being bright and clear. Owing to his high cultivation, Wang Yue was unaffected by the heat; he sat in the sun, eyes fixed on his line.
Truthfully, catching fish from a moving vessel is nearly impossible, but Wang Yue didn't care about the catch; he was focused on the act itself.
Fishing serves as a method to quiet the soul and clear the mind, which is vital for cultivation and reaching a state of enlightenment.
While his cultivation was progressing, his martial arts techniques remained his primary flaw.
When fighting equals or superior foes, his only reliable trump card was the eighth-level "Great Wild Wind."
The problem was that the move required a significant charging period, making it impractical for fluid combat.
He aimed to weave the mechanics of the "Great Wild Wind" into his basic martial arts; if he succeeded, the resulting power would rival top-tier techniques.
However, the process of integration was proving to be incredibly slow.
In the past, Wang Yue felt no pressure to rush, but the threat of the Tianhai Zhang family had created a newfound urgency.
Since he lacked access to superior manuals, he had to apply more focus to speed up the integration of his current skills.
Regrettably, one cannot always find the peace required for such diligence, as life and the people around you often intervene.
