Chapter 33 Absurd Years

Cheng Xi was silent, and then tried to put on a perfect and polite smile.

Cracker saw her embarrassment, so he asked: "Are you not satisfied with me as your marriage partner?"

"No, no." She waved her hands repeatedly, "I'm just a little happy."

"Yes, I was so happy that I didn't react for a while." In order to make her believe herself, Cheng Xi walked over and grabbed Cracker's wrist with both hands, then looked up at her, and made a look that she thought was very sincere, clear and innocent to look at the man in front of her, "Actually, I like you very much."

Caught off guard by the confession of his fiancée, the young Cracker felt shy and his cheeks flushed.

Cheng Xi smiled on her face, but tears were streaming down her face. She wanted to dig her toes into the ground in embarrassment. At this point, if she didn't have the handcuffs on her hands, she would rather draw her sword and fight the aunt's children one by one, and she didn't want to continue to be trapped in this embarrassing scene.

Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi, you are really getting better and better as you grow older. Your potential is limitless. You have studied the art of war thoroughly. This time, you even used the beauty trap.

"Our marriage will be happy." Cracker promised sincerely.

Although he has been in the treacherous world of pirates, the Kingdom of Totland has just taken shape at this time, and Cracker is still very young. Although he is loyal to his family, loyal to his mother, and hates betrayal, he is far from being as murderous and vicious as a general in the future, and everyone is afraid of his character.
He is the first child to get married among his mother's many children, so even though he knows that this is a marriage for politics and embarrassing the navy, he still has some longing for love. 

Slime or cookie man, Cheng Xi doesn't care who her fiancé is, or whether he likes her or not. She came to steal the historical text, not to find love. She even hoped that the other party would hate her and not meet her until before the wedding, so that it would be convenient for her to survey and search. Anyway, it's good no matter what, but she never thought that Cracker would give her a promise. 
There were two villains fighting in her mind. One said that she was like a scumbag who was playing tricks on people, and the other said that she was a wise woman who had no tricks and was outsmarting others. The two villains held their own opinions and everyone was right. In the end, Cheng Xi chose to believe the villain who said that she was outsmarting others. She 

felt a little guilty and thought that her moral bottom line needed to be lowered. 

"Then I'll leave it to you, Cracker-san~" She smiled with her eyebrows curved, revealing sweet dimples, and tried to make a shy expression. 

The relationship between men and women in the pirate world has always been relaxed, and they were about to become husband and wife, so Cracker stretched out his arm and wanted to hug Cheng Xi's shoulders. 

Since being ambushed on the day she landed, Cheng Xi has always been highly vigilant. Now that she feels that someone is about to touch her, she subconsciously panics. She immediately reaches out and grabs Cracker's wrist with her intuition, and tries to throw him to the ground with her waist. 

The seastone handcuffs slid on her arms, and the hard edges bumped her porcelain-white skin, causing it to break and turn red. A feeling of weakness surged into her body, and she thought of the man in front of her as her fiancé. Although they were half-monthly disposable, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Cheng Xi still reacted quickly to fade away the attacking posture and took his broad and strong palm. 

Cracker was wearing a pair of brown gloves on his hands. They looked ordinary, but they felt very good to the touch, soft and comfortable, and the silk threads were strong and the size was stable. If you wear them when practicing sword, your hands should be much more comfortable. 

In order to further feel the material of the gloves, Cheng Xi's fingers rubbed and explored his hands. The movement was not heavy, like an electric current immediately spreading in Cracker's blood. For a while, the palms of his hands itched, his heart trembled, his body was hot, and his desires were rampant. 

"You..." He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Xi. 

"Little cookie, where did you buy your gloves? They feel really good to the touch." 

This man is really smart. Why didn't she think of wearing a pair of gloves when practicing sword when she was a child? 

"You touched my hand just for my gloves?" 

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, what do you mean by touching your hand? It sounds like I'm a pervert..." Cheng Xi said halfway, and seeing the man's face gradually darkening, he made up for it in time, "Well, it's not for the gloves, I just want to know more about your daily life." 

Men's hearts are like needles in the sea, more difficult to understand than the principles of ship and ocean engineering, unpredictable and unpredictable. At this moment, Cheng Xi really wanted to go home. 

Maybe this sentence made Cracker happy. Less than two hours after Cheng Xi returned to the room, she heard the maid knocking on the door, saying that Lord Cracker had brought her a gift. 

Cheng Xi guessed that it should be some flowers, jewelry, or desserts. She walked to the door and opened it, and saw the maid holding a delicate and beautiful tray, on which was neatly placed... a stack of gloves. 

Because it was a gift for his future wife, he specially selected pink and tender ones with gorgeous and exquisite lace. 

Even the maids looked confused. Whose engaged couple would give a pair of gloves as a gift? Did their relationship break down before they even got married? 

Cheng Xi took the tray woodenly. "Little biscuit, guess why I need gloves? Do you want me to wear pink lace gloves to fight against pirate ships?" 

It seems that it is not impossible. It is very British. 

In the next few days, Cheng Xi stayed in the room alone or wandered around the Kingdom of Totland with Cracker. If she was not in the enemy camp and had a mission, she would probably have been immersed in the fun here. There are islands named after food, rivers that taste like apple juice and cantaloupe, sweet edible shops made of chocolate and biscuits, and talking flowers, trees and soldiers. Looking around, there is a pink dream ocean, a bit like the fantasy kingdom in Alice in Wonderland. 

She was very interested in those talking little things. According to the information obtained by her hair doll, this kind of talking and thinking object is called Homies. It is the ability of Lingling's soul fruit. It can extract the soul of a person and put it in the body of various things other than humans to make it anthropomorphic. It is a very magical skill. 

This skill is called soul manufacturing in hot-blooded comics, spiritual power in apocalyptic literature, and spiritual oppression in immortal cultivation literature. 

Cheng Xi suddenly had an idea in her mind. 

She called two flag soldiers. 

Although he was like an invisible man without a trace in his daily life on the island, the soldiers all knew that she was the future wife of Mr. Cracker, so they did not dare to neglect it. After receiving the order, they hurried over. As soon as they arrived at the door, the door opened automatically. The two soldiers looked at each other and walked into the house. They found that all the items in the house were coated with a layer of something similar to foundation. The transparent mirror on the dressing table was now covered tightly by a white cloak. The curtains were also drawn, completely isolated from the sunlight outside. The light in the room was dim. The long-haired woman had her back to them and could not see her expression. They had an ominous premonition in their hearts. Just as they were about to leave, they heard a "bang" and the door behind them closed. 

Cheng Xi waved his hand slightly, and an overwhelming smell of alcohol came over. The two chess pieces and soldiers instantly flushed and fainted. 

She walked in front of them, tied them together, and then began to study the soul inside the soldier. In theory, if my mental strength is stronger than Lingling's, I can completely destroy the original soul in it. 

After trying it a few times, it actually worked. A few wisps of white smoke, similar to gas but not gas, floated out of their bodies. 

Now the soldier was just an empty shell without a soul. Next, he only needed to use his mind to create a mental force field and separate a bit of his soul to control his thoughts and actions, so that he could establish a mental resonance with the soldier and use him for his own purposes.
The moment the soldier opened his eyes again, in less than half an hour, their bodies were already filled with the souls of two completely different people.

The chess piece soldier now was not the guard chess piece of the Kingdom of Totland, but the spy planted here by Cheng Xi.

Under Cheng Xi's order, they pretended nothing had happened and went back to continue guarding the Cake Castle. After they went out, Cheng Xi removed the fruit ability in the room, opened the curtains and opened the windows, and the sunlight shone in. She took the cloak off the mirror and put it on herself, then made a provocative smile to the mirror, frivolous and unpredictable.

Brulee, who was secretly observing in the mirror world, was frightened by her smile. Did she discover my ability?

In fact, it's not only Brulee, because of her special ability, she has basic information about the members of the Charlotte family. As Kuzan said, if she didn't become a navy, she would definitely be the best and most outstanding intelligence officer.
The members of the Charlotte family usually stay in their own territories, or go out on missions to plunder treasures and expand their territory. Occasionally, they come to the Cake Castle to report or meet Lingling when they meet Cheng Xi. Except for the eldest son Perospero and Brulee, who are quite enthusiastic, the reactions of the others are to nod at her coldly or stare at each other. 

She originally guessed that they might be socially anxious, not talkative, or have a cold personality, until she accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation between the sixth and ninth sons, and found out that it was because they disliked her for not showing her strength, being too weak, and being a spineless person. No matter how you look at it, she is just a vase with beautiful appearance. By the way, they also disdain the navy. Has your navy fallen to the point where anyone can be a senior official? 

In response to this, Cheng Xi said, I hope you will scold the navy more next time, not me. 

Falling in love, a word that is beautiful in the eyes of others, has become a flood-like existence in Cheng Xi's eyes. Recalling the few times she fell in love in her life, each time was more dramatic than the last. The first time was when she fell in love with Kuzan in Roy's illusion. It took less than half an hour from her falling in love to breaking up. The main feature was a straightforward and neat one, without any dragging. 

The second time was the current engagement with Cracker. The wedding date was still fifteen days away. Under Cheng Xi's eloquent persuasion, Lingling agreed to wait ten days before issuing the marriage announcement, catching the navy off guard, so that she could have a chance to breathe a little, but she still subconsciously refused to get along with Cracker. 

Although she often came to Cheng Xi to go out for a walk and play, and she was a senior cadre of the pirate family, she was very restrained when getting along with Cheng Xi, and tried not to make more physical contact, which made Cheng Xi feel much more relaxed. 

The way they get along gave Cheng Xi a feeling that falling in love is just walking and chatting in different places. She tried to make herself more sunny, lively and cheerful, and then chat with Cracker every day. 

She felt that her language system was disordered when she was with Cracker. Sometimes she couldn't understand what she was saying. She secretly prayed that this embarrassing day would end soon. 

At this time, someone came to their rescue and finally changed the way they got along. 

Although this "charcoal" was a bullet, it solved her urgent problem. 

On this day, the two were strolling on the island. Cheng Xi told Cracker about how he accidentally ate the Makeup Fruit. Suddenly, he felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind. It was a bullet mixed with a strong wind, so he immediately used the observation color to dodge sideways. After 

dodging this bullet, there were endless bullets that pierced the sky, rushing towards him at a very fast speed with heat waves and vibrations. At the critical moment, Cheng Xi drew his sword to resist, and the bullets that were dodged fell on the ground and buildings, bringing huge lethality and explosions. 

Cracker also reacted quickly and put on the biscuit armor, protecting Cheng Xi behind him, clapping his hands to create a large number of biscuit soldiers with swords to start fighting. 

Cheng Xi had some impression of the enemy. He was a famous pirate hunter in the New World. She had made several deals with him when she was the base commander of G5. He specialized in hunting down pirates with bounties of over 100 million. He was also cruel and bad. He only cared about his own interests and never cared about the lives of civilians. This caused countless ordinary people with no fighting power to suffer every time he caught pirates. 

The enemy came prepared this time, bringing dozens of his brothers with him. He had been undercover here for nearly half a year. He thought that although he was not capable of taking down Big Mom's head, it was worth it to kill a son she entrusted with an important task. However, he did not expect to meet Cheng Xi here. According to the intelligence he had on the island, the former Navy supernova was about to marry the prince of the Kingdom of Totland. This was really interesting. 

"Lt. Admiral Cheng Xi, long time no see. Have you fallen to the point of marrying a pirate?" She looked at Cheng Xi and smiled maliciously, trying to use verbal attacks to disturb her mind and then sneak attack. 

"Yeah, what's wrong, do you want to give a share of money?" She didn't fall for it, but asked the other party lightly. 

The enemy's move was not very smart. They openly created trouble in the Kingdom of Totland, but they did not have the ability to match it. Their ambitions were high as the sky, but their lives were thin as paper. As a result, before the large army arrived, their gang had been completely annihilated by Cracker's biscuit army, leaving no one behind. 

After defeating the enemy, Cracker subconsciously looked for Cheng Xi's figure, trying to see from her the worship and admiration for her future husband's heroic figure in battle. 

In his imagination, Cheng Xi would look at him with her pair of bright obsidian eyes, and then shout: "Sikoyi, Lord Cracker is so awesome!", and perhaps even praise the craftsmanship of the biscuit soldiers he made. 

He thought so happily, and even the small sparks on both sides of his hair became more intense. 

Seeing the battle was over, Cheng Xi jumped directly from the highest point of the castle. Cracker quickly controlled the biscuit soldier to catch her. Cheng Xi had made sufficient preparations before jumping down, but seeing that there was a biscuit soldier below who would catch her, out of 100% trust in Cracker, she did not fly vertically, but let herself fall straight from above to experience the free fall. 

A loud "bang!" sounded from the palm of the biscuit soldier. 

"Fuck, it's so hard!" Cheng Xi transferred to the biscuit soldier and felt pain all over her body, her bones were about to break, and her head was almost concussed. 

"Cracker, is your biscuit expired? Why is it so hard, my God?" She originally thought that the touch of this biscuit soldier would be as soft and bouncy as an air cushion, so she withdrew her ability without hesitation, but she didn't expect it to be as hard as cement. 

If someone bites this biscuit, will their teeth fall out? 

Cracker quickly ran over to help her up, and then rubbed her sore waist for her. 

Cheng Xi said to him seriously, "Really, don't use cookie soldiers to pick people up casually in the future. I originally calculated that the landing point was the soft soil with a layer of grass growing on it, but now it has become a cookie with a hardness comparable to reinforced concrete." " 

Fortunately, I have been able to withstand beatings since I was a child, otherwise we can only have a ghost marriage." She rubbed her forehead and complained. 

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Cracker apologized to her, but he was still very satisfied with his cookie soldiers, "But only if my cookie soldiers are very hard can we win a great victory in the battle. If they are as soft as cream, how can we defeat the enemy?" 

Cheng Xi endured the pain and shook his neck to make sure that he didn't break a bone, and then replied to him: "Let your soft cookies walk into the opponent's mouth and then stuff them to death." 

"Fighting like that is not manly at all, it's better to be hard." 

"Soft cookies are better! My hometown has passed down the strategy of using softness to overcome hardness and the weak to defeat the strong since ancient times."
"That's only for girls like you who don't have enough strength. A real man should fight like my biscuit soldier." Cracker retorted while rubbing her shoulders.
"Ha, you said I don't have enough strength!?" Cheng Xi had forgotten that he was still wearing seastone handcuffs. He was about to kick him ten meters away when he suddenly felt a sharp pain. He looked down and found that Cracker had rubbed her bruises. 

"Ahhh, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" She couldn't help but scream. In the past six months, she had rarely been injured and had escaped from countless pirates. The only time she was beaten was when Kuzan and Yushula. This time, Cracker came again. She was really afraid that one day she would accidentally die in the hands of her own people. 

"Hiss, little biscuit, be gentle." Cheng Xi took a breath and reminded. 

For some reason, the surrounding environment suddenly became quiet, and the air seemed to be stagnant. Cracker's hand stopped. She looked up and found that the man in front of her was looking into the distance, with an embarrassed expression as if he had been caught. 

"What are you doing, Perloline~" The eldest son of the kingdom walked slowly with his candy cane, his face full of teasing, "I heard that the enemy is coming, but now it seems that we should not be here." 

Behind him followed Owen and Dafu, who also had a look of satisfaction on their faces. They heard from a distance that their younger brother and Cheng Xi were very close, arguing about something soft and hard that could be misunderstood. 

It seems that Cracker and her fiancée have a really good relationship. They said such things so openly. 

"I just fell from the castle and got a little hurt, but I'm fine now." Cheng Xi stood up and replied to them, and then Cracker ordered the soldiers to tie up these destroyers and put them in Mondor's book for interrogation. 

Cheng Xi answered Perospero's question: "We were just discussing whether the hard cookie soldiers are more powerful or the soft ones are more capable of overcoming the hard with the soft, but we haven't discussed the results yet." 

Then she found that the members of the Charlotte family all had a lost expression on their faces, the kind of gossip failed, which made Cheng Xi a little puzzled. What answer do they want  hear from themselves?
