nA Gift for Mother: A Pirate Ship

nThe 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!”

n“Yo, you can sing? Alright, sing us a song!”

nPirates 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.

nHowever, no one noticed that both the little fox in Gu Qingluan’s arms and the parrot perched on Bo He’s shoulder were frightened.

nGu 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.

nSomeone saw her actions and did not understand her intentions for a moment.

nOn the other side, Gu Xiaonan saw that everyone was so supportive. He opened his red lips and sang happily, “Today is a good day…”

nIn an instant, the world seemed to stop.

nAll the pirates froze.

nAnd then-

nSomeone had a nosebleed.

nSomeone’s ears were bleeding.

nSome people had tears in their eyes.

nHeavens, was this a tune?

nEven the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves sounded better than this!

n“I knew it!”

n“I knew it will turn out like this!”

nXiaomei covered her head with her wings, looking as if she had lost all hope.

nXiaobai curled itself into a ball and tried to bury itself in its master’s arms. Its furry body was trembling.

n“Shut up! Shut up!” The bearded man covered his ears with his hands and shouted crazily.

nHowever, even though he covered his ears, the demonic sound still penetrated his brain.

nGu Xiaonan was singing happily. How could he stop?

nIt 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!

nGu Xiaonan continued to sing, growing more and more enthusiastic.

nPassing seagulls flapped their wings and dropped into the sea, while the fish swimming around the pirate ship sank to the depths.

nOne pirate collapsed, then another, and another…

n“Xiaonan, that’s enough, stop now.” A porcelain-white hand gently rested on his shoulder.

nGu Xiaonan came to a halt, still lingering with a sense of unfulfilled enjoyment, puckering his lips in slight disappointment.

nThe 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?”

n“Is my singing not good?” Gu Xiaonan pouted, twisted his eyebrows, and asked unhappily.

n“You… you… you…” The bearded man widened his eyes.

nHeavens, does this kid have no self-awareness whatsoever?

nIs this even human singing?

nEven the cries of ghosts would sound better than his singing!

nBut the pirate chief truly lived up to his position, remaining as steady as a rock in such a situation.

nThe 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.

n“Chief, what’s wrong?” the bearded man exclaimed in horror.

nBang!

nA swift chop landed on the back of the bearded man’s neck, rendering him unconscious.

nStanding 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.”

nGu Xiaonan raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, “If Mr. Song enjoys it, I can sing another song for you?”

nThe 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.”

n“Alright then,” Gu Xiaonan sighed with a hint of regret.

nOh well, at least he had the chance to showcase his voice today.

nNo need to dwell on it. Singing on the boat was a unique experience, and he would find another opportunity to sing in the future.

nHe turned around and happily ran towards Gu Qingluan, exclaiming, “Mother… Master, I’m giving you this pirate ship!”
