Chapter 7
A Gift for Mother: A Pirate Ship
The little one shook his head. “I know how to sing. I’m really good at it. If you guys are bored, I can sing for you!”
“Yo, you can sing? Alright, sing us a song!”
Pirates spent most of their lives at sea. This time, they had been floating on the ship for several days, making their days incredibly monotonous. It was quite rare for them to encounter such an interesting child, so their spirits were lifted.
However, no one noticed that both the little fox in Gu Qingluan’s arms and the parrot perched on Bo He’s shoulder were frightened.
Gu Qingluan calmly took out two balls of cotton and gave them to Bo He. She took another two balls and stuffed them into her ears.
Someone saw her actions and did not understand her intentions for a moment.
On the other side, Gu Xiaonan saw that everyone was so supportive. He opened his red lips and sang happily, “Today is a good day…”
In an instant, the world seemed to stop. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
All the pirates froze.
And then-
Someone had a nosebleed.
Someone’s ears were bleeding.
Some people had tears in their eyes.
Heavens, was this a tune?
Even the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves sounded better than this!
“I knew it!”
“I knew it will turn out like this!”
Xiaomei covered her head with her wings, looking as if she had lost all hope.
Xiaobai curled itself into a ball and tried to bury itself in its master’s arms. Its furry body was trembling.
“Shut up! Shut up!” The bearded man covered his ears with his hands and shouted crazily.
However, even though he covered his ears, the demonic sound still penetrated his brain.
Gu Xiaonan was singing happily. How could he stop?
It was rare to have so many listeners. Moreover, they were the ones who asked him to sing. He hadn’t even finished singing a song!
Gu Xiaonan continued to sing, growing more and more enthusiastic.
Passing seagulls flapped their wings and dropped into the sea, while the fish swimming around the pirate ship sank to the depths.
One pirate collapsed, then another, and another…
“Xiaonan, that’s enough, stop now.” A porcelain-white hand gently rested on his shoulder.
Gu Xiaonan came to a halt, still lingering with a sense of unfulfilled enjoyment, puckering his lips in slight disappointment.
The bearded man let out a long sigh of relief, barely able to stand steady. His hand trembled as he pointed at Gu Xiaonan, saying, “You… is that singing?”
“Is my singing not good?” Gu Xiaonan pouted, twisted his eyebrows, and asked unhappily.
“You… you… you…” The bearded man widened his eyes.
Heavens, does this kid have no self-awareness whatsoever?
Is this even human singing?
Even the cries of ghosts would sound better than his singing!
But the pirate chief truly lived up to his position, remaining as steady as a rock in such a situation.
The bearded man turned to admire the silent Chief, but his admiration quickly turned to shock when he noticed a figure with a vacant stare and blood flowing from all seven orifices.
“Chief, what’s wrong?” the bearded man exclaimed in horror.
Bang!
A swift chop landed on the back of the bearded man’s neck, rendering him unconscious.
Standing behind him was the boatman who had been captured by the pirates. He bowed respectfully to Gu Xiaonan and said, “Young master, your singing has improved greatly.”
Gu Xiaonan raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, “If Mr. Song enjoys it, I can sing another song for you?”
The boatman’s expression instantly changed, and he waved his hands repeatedly. “No need, no need. Young master has already sung for quite a while. Don’t strain your throat. Sit down and rest for now.”
“Alright then,” Gu Xiaonan sighed with a hint of regret.
Oh well, at least he had the chance to showcase his voice today.
No need to dwell on it. Singing on the boat was a unique experience, and he would find another opportunity to sing in the future.
He turned around and happily ran towards Gu Qingluan, exclaiming, “Mother… Master, I’m giving you this pirate ship!”
