A chill ran through Ye Jia's heart.
Had he been discovered?
He looked towards the direction where the arrows had come from and saw a petite figure dressed all in black, with even its face concealed by a black hood.
That's right, the petite figure looked just like a child.
And its voice carried a hint of childishness.
"So what if I'm a pirate? So what if I'm not?"
Ye Jia looked at the petite figure and said indifferently.
Although he didn't know the other party's motive for asking if he was a pirate, at this moment, Ye Jia didn't dare to act rashly. He was prepared to probe the other party's purpose.
"The fact that you say that means you are a pirate!"
The petite figure turned its head. Standing in the sunlight, Ye Jia could only vaguely see a dark silhouette, but he couldn't discern its true face.
"You've mistaken the person. We are not pirates, just a couple passing by."
Ye Jia hugged Si Qingluo closer, resting his head gently on her shoulder.
Si Qingluo revealed a sweet smile.
She felt an unprecedented sense of security, as if as long as Ye Jia was there, she wouldn't be afraid even if the sky fell.
"I've seen your strength," the petite figure said. "I saw all your actions in the jewelry storeā¦ and that you could deal with those brutes with one hand. Your strength must meet my requirements."
"Meet your requirements?"
"I'm looking for a pirate crew. If possible, I want to join your pirate crew."
The petite figure revealed its purpose.
Ye Jia chuckled when he heard this request.
Standing so high up to shoot arrows, and pretending not to be seenā¦ asking if he was a pirateā¦ it turned out to be to join his pirate crew?
"Why do you have to join a pirate crew to leave this island? As far as I know, people often travel to and from this island. You could have easily found a merchant ship."
Ye Jia began to interrogate the uninvited guest.
He was very curious why the other party didn't choose to take a convenient merchant ship, but instead took a detour and chose a pirate ship.
"..."
The petite figure fell silent upon hearing Ye Jia's question.
Ye Jia wasn't in a hurry. He could see the petite figure's head slightly lowered, pondering its own question.
About ten seconds passed.
"I can tell you, but after you hear it, I want to join your pirate crew."
The petite figure said.
"Let's talk about it after you've seen it."
Ye Jia smiled.
Just then, the petite figure leaped up and landed lightly in front of Ye Jia without making much noise.
From this, Ye Jia could judge that this person's movement technique was very strong.
"Watch closely."
The petite figure walked in front of Ye Jia, bowed slightly, and then pulled off the hood that concealed its face, revealing its true appearance.
"Ah!"
Si Qingluo exclaimed when she saw the petite figure's true face, covering her small mouth, her eyes full of surprise.
"I really didn't expectā¦ so that's how it is."
Ye Jia's eyes flashed.
He saw a face that did not belong to a human.
Its appearance was like that of a young leopard, with grayish-white soft fur, dark golden needle-like pupils, and two pointed ears. Its mouth did not protrude like a leopard's, but rather tilted towards humansā¦ this was a white leopard person.
However, unlike ordinary leopards, he didn't have a single spot on his body; he was pure white.
"Wowā¦ so cute!"
Si Qingluo exclaimed in surprise, unable to resist reaching out to touch it.
Women, by nature, have a special affection for sparkling and cute things that is hard to resist.
The white leopard person was originally a young white leopard in appearance. With the addition of some human elements, he looked like a character from an anime. Even Ye Jia felt he looked particularly cute.
But the white leopard person clearly didn't like interacting with people. His eyes flashed, and he quickly retreated, putting his hood back on.
"Can we do it now?" the white leopard person said.
Ye Jia now understood why he wasn't willing to take a merchant ship.
Once their unique appearance was exposed, humans would definitely try to kill him the first timeā¦ or capture him as a pet, or imprison him like other species.
All in all, being with ordinary humans posed a huge danger to him.
Conversely, pirates, whom ordinary humans feared, were indeed a good choice for him.
"..." "If you want to join my pirate crew, it's not impossible, but my pirate crew isn't for just anyoneā¦ you need to have matching strength."
Ye Jia said with a slight smile.
"Strengthā¦ I understand."
As soon as Ye Jia finished speaking, the white leopard person suddenly leaped up.
"Ah!"
At the same time, he pulled out a crossbow and aimed it at Ye Jia's direction, pulling the trigger.
The white leopard person didn't stop. He was leaping on the rooftops.
"Woo woo woo..."
Arrow after arrow pierced the air, and the whistling sound of the wind could be clearly heard.
When the white leopard person landed in front of Ye Jia again.
Those arrows that were shot out fiercely pierced the ground, their arrowheads flaring, forming a circle around Ye Jia and Si Qingluo. (Is it good?)
"Is this kind of strength acceptable?" the white leopard person asked.
The speed, the accurate archery, the judgment while moving at high speedā¦ each arrow basically grazed past Ye Jia's body before lodging in the ground.
He was definitely a master archer.
"It's acceptable," Ye Jia said with a slight smile.
"Acceptable?"
The white leopard person looked a little unconvinced.
"Yes, acceptable. Actually, my Sea Serpent Pirate Crew has very high requirements, like this..."
As Ye Jia's voice fell, his figure suddenly disappeared.
The next second, before the white leopard person could react, a hand had already grabbed his hood and pulled it off.
