The elder Yan woman said, "If you refuse, we can only ask you to leave the ship."
"Alright, I’ll leave the ship," Suo Lun said.
This elder Yan woman was taken aback and said, "Have you really never seen what our little princess looks like?"
Suo Lun was surprised and said, "She is the princess of the Yan women?"
The elder Yan woman nodded and said, "Yes."
Suo Lun then asked, "Is she... also the legendary Sea Witch?"
The elder Yan woman nodded and said, "Indeed, who else on Rock Island could be so beautiful as to captivate even the Sea God?"
Suo Lun was stunned; this Sea Witch sounded very powerful, exceedingly enchanting. Upon hearing this name, what came to mind was the character from the Medusa movie on Earth.
After all, a witch is surely both powerful and seductive.
But to think, she was so young and seemed so innocent?
Could she really be called a witch ?
"Our little princess is the most beautiful woman on Rock Island; any man would be utterly bewitched by her. Is that not enough to be called a witch?" the elder Yan woman said. "Not just that, every man on Rock Island, upon seeing the little princess, can’t help but kneel and worship, never daring to defile her."
Suo Lun said, "Shouldn’t she be called a fairy instead?"
The elder Yan woman said, "But on our Rock Island, a witch is the highest symbol of beauty."
So that was it; he had really misunderstood.
The elder Yan woman said, "To be favored by the little princess and to accept her trial, aren’t you the luckiest man in the world? Now, will you still refuse my inspection of your body?"
Suo Lun still shook his head and said, "Sorry, it’s still not possible."
The elder Yan woman said, "Have you lost your mind? Any man in the world would give everything, even just to touch a finger of the little princess. And now, you reject the favor of the Sea Witch? Merely refusing my inspection of your body? Could it be that you have some shameful disease?"
Suo Lun said, "Say what you will, I refuse the body inspection."
The elder Yan woman sighed and said, "What a pity, then. I can only send you off the ship."
"Fine," Suo Lun said.
Instantly, the elder Yan woman went out.
A moment later, she returned and said to Suo Lun, "The boat is ready for you; we will send you back to the Pirate Haven now."
Suo Lun nodded and followed her onto the deck, then boarded a small boat that was gradually lowered to the sea, returning to the Pirate Haven.
However, just at that moment, a Yan Tribe female warrior said, "Mama, the little princess has commanded that this man be brought to her."
The elder Yan woman said, "But this man has refused a body inspection."
The Yan Tribe female warrior said, "It is the little princess’s command."
The elder Yan woman looked deeply at Suo Lun, then said, "Please follow me."
Upon entering the little princess’s cabin, Suo Lun was immediately astonished.
For this was truly the princess’s boudoir, luxurious and yet warm.
Everything in the cabin was white.
The table was white, the carpet was white, the walls were white, all the utensils were white.
The whole cabin was completely flawless and white.
And the stunning beauty in front of him, dressed in a blue dress, with amber-colored skin gleaming attractively, looked at Suo Lun with her big, watery, gem-like eyes sparkling.
Her beauty truly rivaled that of Gui Qinqiao.
And so pure and flawless, just one look from her could melt your heart.
Now, Suo Lun understood why she was called the Sea Witch, for just one look from those big eyes made all the evil in your heart disappear.
Her eyes were really the epitome of purity, without any trace of dust or impurity.
Her face was also exquisitely perfect, flawless to the extreme.
Upon closer contact, the girl’s beauty was even more unbearable to behold.
"Why do you wish to leave?" the little princess asked Suo Lun with her beautiful eyes.
"Because I am not here to seek romance," Suo Lun said.
"Then what are you here for?" the little princess asked.
"I’m here for business," Suo Lun said.
The little princess asked, "Doing business with whom?"
Suo Lun said, "With Rock Island."
The little princess said, "We, the salt people, do not engage in business; we simply take what we want by force."
Even when speaking of piracy and looting, her voice was sweet and childlike, full of innocence and charm.
Suo Lun said, "More than a hundred years ago, there was a person who successfully conducted business with Rock Island using barley wine."
The little princess widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Suo Lun and said Wuxia, "Do you wish to become the second intimate friend of our Rock Island?"
The little princess said, "Could it be that you have something that can change the destiny of our Yan people?"
"No," Suo Lun shook his head and said.
The little princess said, "Then you cannot become our most intimate friend."
Then she looked at Suo Lun with widened eyes and said, "May I see your merchandise?"
Suo Lun nodded and said, "Of course, you may!"
Then he took down the box he was carrying on his back, carefully taking out a mirror and handing it to the little princess.
After receiving it, the little princess was instantly... completely astounded!
Within the mirror, she saw herself reflected in perfect detail; every aspect was crystal clear.
Rock Island had mirrors as well, including bronze mirrors and crystal mirrors. However, due to the high humidity and salt content in the air, the bronze mirrors were particularly prone to rusting.
And crystal mirrors, while exceedingly clear, were exorbitantly expensive and far too small.
But now, the glass mirror in the little princess’s hands was a whole foot square.
