Chapter 182 Miss Singer (abridged)
"Mr. Adrian?"
Elizabeth covered her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice with some disbelief, and a little bit of surprise.
Adrian, who had just pushed open the iron door of the prison, raised his head and smiled comfortingly at her.
Elizabeth walked over and handed the [Hero's Dagger] back to the other party.
"Is this short knife still useful?"
"Well, it's very handy."
Elizabeth nodded slightly and asked with concern.
"Where are the Arms Pirates outside? They didn't hurt you, did they?"
"They are pretty good..."
Adrian didn't explain much.
"You are ready to leave, Miss Elizabeth."
He lowered his head and looked at the nervous little pink haired girl next to him who was holding the hem of the singer's skirt with both hands.
"You too, little princess of Dressrosa."
Elizabeth was about to nod happily, but suddenly she seemed to have thought of something, and felt a little confused.
"But, Mr. Adrian...we have already left Dressrosa for a long time, right?"
"Huh?"
Elizabeth explains:
"It's my ability.
"After being imprisoned by the Arms Pirates, I have been using my ability to listen to the sounds made by ships.
“As early as dozens of minutes ago, I ‘heard’ the sound of the anchor pulling up.
"And just now... I also heard the whining and tearing sound of the ship's hull.
"Sound Fruit, that's what I call it."
"For a singer, this is indeed an amazing ability, Miss Tianlai." Adrian nodded noncommittally, "But we have other ways to go back."
"Huh?"
Elizabeth was about to ask what happened when she suddenly discovered that the sound of the waves of the sea that she could "hear" had inexplicably disappeared.
Even the sound of the surrounding sea breeze and the chirping of seabirds disappeared together.
It was as if the pirate ship was suddenly pulled into an independent space that was completely separated from the original world.
"It will only take a moment."
Adrian's figure slowly disappeared.
Less than half a minute later, he reappeared.
"Welcome to Dressrosa."
The next moment, Elizabeth and Scarlet felt their eyes suddenly blurry.
The original gloomy and dark prison environment completely disappeared, replaced by the dark night and the fire-lit coast of Dressrosa.
If you look carefully, you will see that those dots of fire are a group of Kingdom soldiers holding torches and getting ready to go.
The leader was none other than Cyrus, who had just won three thousand consecutive victories in the bullfighting arena.
Opposite the soldiers, King Riku, with a serious and sad face, was announcing some unheard orders to them.
Elizabeth and Scarlet were surrounded by many other slaves kidnapped by the Arms Pirates.
A huge crowd suddenly appeared on the coast, instantly attracting the attention of the Kingdom soldiers.
Scarlett exclaimed, threw away her butt sister beside her, and ran towards King Riku quickly.
"Mr. Adrian, I'm sorry, is this also your ability?"
Elizabeth asked curiously.
"Like teleportation or something."
"Miss Elizabeth, on such a night, on such a beach, don't you think it's a bit boring for the two of us, a man and a woman alone, to talk about fruit abilities?"
Adrian turned sideways and pointed at the sea crashing over him.
"What's this..."
After being reminded, Elizabeth realized where she was currently. She was wearing thin clothes and felt her teeth chattering under the blowing sea breeze at night. She couldn't help tightening her tight clothes.
"Do you have a place to live in Dressrosa? I'll take you back."
Elizabeth quickly agreed.
Returning to the hotel she had booked earlier, feeling the heat radiating from the warm fireplace at the front desk, Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief, and a warmth slowly came to her heart.
"Mr. Adrian, thank you very much for today."
Adrian nodded slightly, just before he was about to leave.
Elizabeth bit her lip again and whispered.
"Mr. Adrian, there is no moon tonight."
Adrian raised his brows, tasting the turmoil hidden in this sentence.
……
Silent night, flickering candlelight.

afterwards.
Elizabeth pulled out the soft bedside paper and wiped her nose.
Adrian looked indifferent and even wanted to light a cigarette to reminisce about the past.
A teacher named Lu Ming Xiaobu once taught: Men's depression is the most effective weapon of mass destruction, it must be delicate and profound.
It happened that this delicate and profound post-mortem melancholy caught Elizabeth's eyes.
She lay on her side and leaned on Adrian's chest, her beautiful eyes glowing with warmth and her tone of voice was soft.
"Adrian, what is our relationship now?"
"Don't think too much. As long as two people are together, they just need to be happy and joyful. Things like 'you are mine', 'I am yours' and 'what kind of relationship' are there? How tiring this is."
Adrian sounded sober when he spoke.
"The mutual attraction between men and women is like an unknown adventure in the sea. Just enjoy the process."
Elizabeth bit her lip.
"Isn't this a love story about love at first sight?"
"Love at first sight?" Adrian stroked Miss Singer's hair and said with a dumb smile, "I just fell in love with her."
After a little understanding of this man's inner attitude, Elizabeth stopped talking boring words.
Somehow, she suddenly talked about little Princess Scarlet.
"Adrian, why don't you like women with pink hair?"
Adrian, the handsome boy, was at a loss for words. Now he was talking to the singer lady about BIGMOM's appearance?
He gave a random excuse.
"It's just that I don't like children very much."
"Is that so?" Elizabeth rolled her eyes and chuckled, "I will try to be careful."
Adrian raised his eyebrows and looked at the singer lady.
"Are you provoking me? I just discovered that your skills are mediocre."
