The dilapidated pirate ship sailed steadily on the sea, but the helm was now in Tracy's hands.
To some extent, she truly became Luo En's captain.
As a famous pirate, her skills were far superior to Luo En's amateurish ones; even though this pirate ship had been ravaged by a storm and was already in disrepair, she could still make it sail steadily on the sea.
In the distance, the familiar coastline of Bayam gradually became clear in the morning light.
If it had been before, both she and Luo En would have been very happy, as that was once their destination.
Unfortunately, the destination has changed…
Tracy turned the helm, and the direction of the entire ship changed with it…
On the day the accident occurred, she was piloting a "new ship" that had just been plundered not long ago.
And her flagship, the Black Death, was then docked in a private safe harbor a little further from Bayam.
Without the captain's command, the ship should still be there.
Thinking of this, Tracy's mood was unprecedentedly joyful, the corners of her mouth uncontrollably curving upward, forming a twisted yet satisfied smile…
She looked back at the direction of the cabin, where her biggest "trophy" of this trip was located.
Once she returned to the Black Death, she would be the true captain, and everything would be decided by her.
She simply secured the helm with a rope, letting the ship drift on its own with the ocean current and wind, then turned and walked back into that dim, small "world" that belonged only to her and him.
Oh, that Orange Cat doesn't count as a person.
"However, that cat is quite intelligent… I'll keep it on the 'Black Death' as a ship cat from now on."
Tracy recalled Lachi once sharing food with her, and given that it was Luo En's pet, it wouldn't be good to simply abandon it, so she came up with a win-win solution.
In the cabin, Luo En was still in a deep sleep, his breathing somewhat rapid, completely unaware of everything in the outside world.
His face, which always carried a hint of fatigue from his transmigration, now appeared exceptionally peaceful.
Tracy squatted down, extended her finger, and gently stroked his face over and over again. From his brow bone to the bridge of his nose, and then to his tightly closed lips.
She pressed her index finger on Luo En's lips, applying slight pressure… and then felt a warm moistness.
After so many years of being a Demoness, this was the first time she had felt a sense of beauty on a male…
Is this what they call a change in mindset…
Just a few days can completely change a person.
In her mind, she had already begun to envision the future.
Once they returned to the Black Death, she would prepare the best room for Luo En.
No! There's no need for such trouble; wouldn't it be fine if he just lived with her…
Two people living together…
Wait! Two people… Tracy suddenly thought of her blonde maid.
Oh, if she lived with Brando, then she would be a bit of an eyesore!
Although her looks couldn't compare to her own, they were still quite good; what if she accidentally seduced Brando…
No! That cannot happen!
Should she kick her off the ship, or… Tracy rubbed her chin, lost in thought.
Clearly, this emotionally overwhelmed lady did not want any other women around Luo En.
As for their life together from now on… she would replace the ropes on Luo En with golden chains, locking him firmly by her side.
He would no longer have to venture into the dangerous sea; she would withstand all the storms.
He only needed to stay by her side, looking only at her.
Just as written in Emperor Rosell's novels…
No, their accidental meeting was already dramatic and romantic.
Except for his freedom, he could have everything.
As for that damned Edwina Edwards… she would never, ever have a chance to see him again.
Uh… If Luo En were awake, he would definitely think Tracy had gone mad and try to escape… but unfortunately, he wasn't.
In terms of physical enhancement, the Monster Pathway itself is not its strong suit; a Sequence 7 Lucky One, in terms of strength, is no match for a Sequence 5 Demoness of Afflictions.
Therefore, under the erosion of illness and Tracy's precise strikes, he remained in a coma.
"However… it's better not to let Mother know about this…" Tracy thought of certain things, and her expression became slightly melancholic.
There is joy, and there is sorrow.
Initially, when she was shipwrecked, Tracy had hoped that her Mother would appear to rescue her, as she didn't want to experience the feeling of being abandoned… But now, since someone who could save her three times in a row and tolerate her had appeared… then, that twisted dysfunctional family relationship seemed less important.
Now, in Tracy's heart, Mother and the Demoness Sect were a bit of an eyesore… a Tracy like Brando couldn't be known by other Demoness.
She knew all too well the conduct of her fellow Demoness in the sect, especially those high-ranking Demoness; they loved to feign purity and were most skilled at manipulating people's hearts…
Throughout the long years, they had committed countless heinous crimes.
Someone like Brando, who remained unmoved despite her repeated temptations, would be an excellent toy for them…
So, she must protect him; he cannot be known by other Demoness…
And equally crucial, once Mother arrived, her entire warehouse of Beyonder materials would definitely be discovered, and her desire to break free from the sect and advance to a demigod to gain complete freedom would be thwarted.
To truly live happily ever after, she must gain enough power; becoming a demigod is essential.
"Don't blame me, Brando…" She whispered softly, "This is all to 'protect' you."
"And to protect our future."
She pulled Luo En's arm, wrapping the rope around his wrist circle after circle, then pulled it to the headboard and tied a secure knot.
Next was the other hand.
Finally, both feet.
Tracy firmly secured Luo En's limbs, leaving him lying there in a completely stretched but immobile posture.
Having done all this, Tracy stepped back two paces, admiring her work with satisfaction.
Bound, he looked even more alluring than usual… Tracy swallowed hard.
Luo En's helpless posture greatly stimulated certain traits of Tracy as a Demoness.
Damn it, the Joy Potion should have been digested long ago… but, I just can't hold back…
She instinctively reached out, wanting to lift…
No, no, I must resist… Tracy forcefully suppressed her Demoness instincts.
"The environment here is too dirty…"
"Emperor Rosell's novel said…"
"Such things should be done in a more sacred place…"
"I need to calm down…" Tracy suppressed the urge within her, forced herself to leave the room, and returned to the cockpit with her legs feeling awkward.
"Ah…" In the cockpit, Tracy, wearing Luo En's jacket, managed to regain some composure after stretching.
Suddenly, the faint lights on the sea caught her attention…
With her extraordinary vision, she noticed that there seemed to be more ships around Bayam… and many of them were Church ships…
