"Tell me, I'll buy it all for you!" Ye Jia patted his chest and said boldly.
"Just now, when I was trying on clothes with Glorianna on that street, there was a jewelry store opposite. There was a necklace in there that I thought looked particularly good..."
Silas Qingluo said shyly.
She hadn't intended to mention this, but then she thought of Ye Jia buying it for her, and she couldn't help but feel incredibly happy and joyful in her heart, as sweet as if she had eaten candy.
"No problem, it's just a necklace, isn't it? Let's go! I'll take you to buy it. Qiuli, you watch Glorianna for a bit. We'll be right back."
After Ye Jia finished giving instructions, he pulled Silas Qingluo's soft, small hand and walked towards the jewelry store on that street.
"He... he's holding my hand!"
Silas Qingluo's heart instantly accelerated and pounded wildly. A blush spread across her face, as red as a ripe apple. Her entire being was enveloped in a huge sense of happiness!
Feeling the warm and admiring gazes from the crowd, and especially being seen with Ye Jia, Silas Qingluo felt an unspeakable joy in her heart.
How she wished Ye Jia could just keep holding her hand and walk like this forever!
"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
"Now the whole city is starting to round up pirates! Anyone harboring pirates without reporting them is guilty of the same crime as a pirate, and will be executed on the spot!"
"Anyone obstructing us is guilty of the same crime as a pirate, and will be executed on the spot!"
"Report the whereabouts of pirates, minimum reward of 100,000 Berries! Informants—"
At this moment, a group of Marine soldiers, armed with firearms and neatly lined up, patrolled the street.
The Marine officer leading them, wearing a coat of justice, shouted loudly.
"It's the Marines!"
Silas Qingluo's heart jumped. She quickly hid behind Ye Jia.
Ye Jia's face showed no change, but his steps paused. He faced a shop by the roadside, his back to the Marine soldiers.
"The Marines are quite fast."
Ye Jia knew why these Marines appeared here just by thinking.
The incident with the Celestial Dragon hadn't been publicized. The Marines couldn't find the culprit, so they could only search the world for pirates.
Better to kill a thousand innocent than let one guilty go!
However, although these Marine soldiers were weak, if he dealt with them, it would definitely alarm the Marines, and then he would certainly have to start a life on the run.
Now was not the time to show off.
"Hm?"
Major Aveline, who was scanning the crowd, her gaze sharpened, falling on Ye Jia and Silas Qingluo. "You two, turn around!"
Silas Qingluo's delicate face instantly paled. She couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ye Jia's hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Ye Jia whispered in Silas Qingluo's ear, then gently pushed Silas Qingluo into his arms.
Feeling the scorching body temperature emanating from Ye Jia's chest, Silas Qingluo's mind went blank, and for a moment, she was at a loss.
"Officer, is there something wrong?"
Ye Jia turned his head, carrying Silas Qingluo, and smiled at Major Aveline.
Major Aveline looked up and down at the man and woman before him.
The woman was as beautiful as a celestial fairy, and the man was also handsome. The two stood together, like a beautiful landscape.
Of course, more importantly, Major Aveline did not detect any pirate-like characteristics in Ye Jia.
"Nothing, carry on."
Major Aveline made a gesture of invitation.
"Thank you, Officer!"
Ye Jia smiled in response, then took Silas Qingluo's hand and walked slowly towards the jewelry store.
"Continue to intensify the search. Absolutely do not let a single pirate escape, understand?"
"Yes!"
The Marine soldiers, neatly lined up, marched forward.
No one noticed that the real culprit had just been right in front of them, even talking to them!
...
"Ye Jia, thank you."
Silas Qingluo said affectionately, "If it weren't for you just now, I would have definitely been caught."
"This trouble was something I provoked. I should be thanking you instead."
Ye Jia smiled faintly.
On the road, he and Qiuli had some conflict with a Celestial Dragon. In the end, he directly angered the Celestial Dragon and brought down its wrath, telling the entire story.
So Silas Qingluo knew they were now fugitives, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared and worried! After all, she wasn't an old hand like Ye Jia; she could be exposed at any moment.
"We're here. Which necklace do you like?"
Ye Jia and Silas Qingluo walked into the jewelry store. Dazzling, exquisite jewelry was everywhere, marked with not cheap prices. For women, they possessed immense killing power!
"This one!"
Silas Qingluo walked to a display cabinet, pointing at an exquisite and beautiful diamond necklace on it. She said happily, "I fell in love with this necklace at first sight. I especially love it!"
"If you like it, buy it!"
Ye Jia was about to speak to the shop assistant to pack the jewelry for purchase. Suddenly, a discordant voice drifted over.
"Husband, I like this necklace!"
Her tone was full of a coquettish, spoiled air. Ye Jia only heard one sound and felt his goosebumps rise.
He saw a woman dressed gorgeously, alluringly made up, with an extremely rich scent of powder, her figure plump and sexy, walking over, holding a burly man's arm.
And the direction she was pointing was precisely the necklace Silas Qingluo had fallen for.
Ye Jia's brow immediately furrowed.
"Good! Buy whatever you want, hahaha! Anyway, I have plenty of money!"
The burly man was also dressed very gorgeously. Moreover, he looked muscular and sturdy, with some scars on his face. Ye Jia could tell at a glance that this burly man was definitely a pirate.
He exuded a rough aura from head to toe, and he was the type who would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.
"Shop assistant, pack this necklace for me!"
The burly man shouted loudly.
The shop assistant hurriedly ran over, preparing to take the necklace.
Silas Qingluo saw this, her expression a little disappointed. Watching the thing she loved being directly snatched away by someone else, she felt an indescribable unpleasantness in her heart.
Just then, a hand suddenly shot out and snatched the necklace.
"Excuse me, we saw this necklace first."
Ye Jia said coldly, holding the necklace.
"When buying things, you also have to consider who came first, don't you?"
