Upon hearing Ye Yu's order to move the treasures, they immediately realized his intent and frowned.
Ye Yu barked, "Hurry up! Stop dawdling! Don't pretend you didn't hear me."
Lin Muxue and the others' faces turned extremely grim. They understood Ye Yu's intention—to force them to personally carry their own treasures onto the ship. It was undoubtedly a humiliation, a blatant act of psychological torment.
Lin Muxue gritted her teeth and said word by word, "We won't move them!"
The other slaves also chimed in, refusing to comply, their eyes filled with determination and defiance.
Ye Yu snorted coldly, "You are now slaves of my Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. If you don't move them, who will? Move faster, stop wasting time! Recognize your current status—you're no longer the lofty prodigies you once were, but mere slaves at the mercy of every member of my crew! I've said I won't intentionally harm you, but that's only if you, as slaves, obey. Otherwise, when the treasures arrive, whether you'll return unscathed is uncertain!"
Lin Muxue and the others felt uneasy, their hearts filled with anger and humiliation. They had no choice but to reluctantly walk over and start moving the treasures.
The heavy shackles made every step arduous, and as they held the treasures in their hands, their hearts ached.
Ye Yu watched their expressions with satisfaction, and the crew members were equally pleased. It was truly a case of psychological torment.
The treasures were quickly loaded onto the ship, and Ye Yu nodded in approval before ordering the crew to set sail toward the nearby treasure drop-off point.
Zhang Naran reported, "Captain, at our current speed, we'll reach the treasure drop-off point in just an hour."
Ye Yu nodded, and then Zhou Xing said, "Everyone's exhausted from the battle. Go prepare a meal so everyone can have a good feast."
"Understood, Captain."
Zhou Xing hurried toward the cold storage. The crew members, thinking of Zhou Xing's highly praised culinary skills, had eyes gleaming with anticipation. Many were already salivating.
Zhou Xing retrieved fresh vegetables and meat from the cold storage and then plunged into the kitchen, busily preparing the meal.
Meanwhile, at the treasure drop-off point, many pirate crews were leaving, sighing.
"We thought they were evenly matched and hoped to benefit when one side arrived. Now, that's out of the question."
"Indeed, although the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew has a lot of treasures and is about to arrive, they're too strong. They're not weakened at all. Trying to steal their treasures would be suicide."
"Let's leave quickly, or we might end up being robbed instead."
...
They left swiftly, fully aware of the terror of the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew. This incident would deter many pirate crews from targeting their treasures for some time.
Back on the Dominant Feather Pirate Crew's ship, the aroma of the meal wafted from the kitchen, permeating the entire vessel. The enticing smell made everyone even hungrier, including Lin Muxue and the twenty slaves. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their eyes revealing a deep longing. They had to admit that even their own pirate crew's chef couldn't make food smell this good.
Lin Muxue asked, "Where will we sleep?"
They were currently in a corner of the deck, barely able to move due to the weight added to their shackles.
Of course, it wouldn't serve as a training exercise for them, as the weight was so heavy that they couldn't move and could only lie on the ground. Once they couldn't move, it no longer served as training. When they needed to move, the weight would be lifted.
Lin Muxue and the others were also furious.
"They actually have an Ability User on their ship who can impose weight. Damn it, if it weren't so heavy, carrying the weight could still serve as training. But it's too heavy now, so it's completely useless for training. Ye Yu obviously thought of this, which is why he made the weight so extreme."
Ye Yu glanced at Lin Muxue and said indifferently, "You'll find out soon enough."
Lin Muxue was uneasy. "What's the environment like?"
"Slaves shouldn't concern themselves with so much."
This made Lin Muxue and the others' expressions darken. They could guess it wouldn't be good.
Ye Yu commanded Lin Muxue and the others, "Start working now. Go clean the toilets. Women clean the women's restroom, and men clean the men's restroom."
This task shocked Lin Muxue and the others. On their own ship, cleaning the toilets was the job of the lowest-ranking crew members. How could they, the elites, possibly do such work?
"Clean the toilets? No way!"
Lin Muxue was furious, and the other slaves protested as well.
Ye Yu's eyes turned icy cold in an instant. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "You're slaves. If you don't want to do it, then taste my fists!"
Lin Muxue and the others felt a tightness in their hearts, well aware of the terror of Ye Yu's fists. Even if he didn't use his full strength, being hit would definitely be unbearable.
Ye Yu said, "Choose quickly: spend the time in excruciating pain or do your assigned task."
In the end, Lin Muxue and the others chose to submit. The weight imposed by the Ability User was lifted, and they gritted their teeth as they headed to the toilets.
When they entered the restroom, they were taken aback. There was no unpleasant smell, and the interior was luxurious, resembling the restroom of the most high-end hotel.
Lin Muxue and the others breathed a sigh of relief and began cleaning. They quickly finished mopping the floor.
Feeling relieved, they prepared to leave, but Ye Yu reminded them.
"Go clean the septic tank."
Instantly, they felt uneasy, knowing it wouldn't be that simple or easy.
Descending the stairs, they arrived at the lower cabin, where there was a large septic tank.
The smell here was foul, almost unbearable. Lin Muxue kept covering her nose, her brows tightly furrowed, utterly overwhelmed.
They began turning the valve, and a long, thick pipe slowly extended from the tank to the seabed. Then, they opened the gate and started the discharge. They could only stand by and wait, unable to leave. The place was too smelly, the environment too harsh, with flies buzzing everywhere.
Half an hour passed, and it felt like an eternity of torment. Once the discharge was complete, they prepared to close the valve and quickly escape this hellish place.
A crew member monitoring the scene reminded them, "It's not over yet. There's still residue inside. See the shovel over there? Grab it and jump in to clean it out!"
"What?!"
This made Lin Muxue and the others' faces pale instantly.
Lin Muxue was furious. "No way!"
The other slaves also couldn't accept it. Jumping in to clean? What a joke.
Ye Yu's voice came through the intercom, cold and mocking. "If you don't want to do it, come up. Each of you will just take ten punches from me."
Hearing this, their bodies trembled, their brows furrowed, and their fists clenched. They were caught in a dilemma, struggling, but in the end, they could only sigh in resignation.
Lin Muxue gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you have masks and protective suits? I can do it if you give me those."
Ye Yu replied coldly, "No, you're dreaming. Do you think we'd make such thorough preparations for slaves?"
Lin Muxue was furious, her fists clenched so tightly they made cracking sounds. Without any protective gear, she was expected to jump in directly and clean with a shovel. This was utterly unacceptable to her—it was humiliating, and the thought of it only added to her torment.
Ye Yu grew impatient and began a three-second countdown. If she still didn't act within those three seconds, he would consider it a refusal, and she would face his fists.
