Chapter 47: Dealing with Ke Ya

Chapter 47: Dealing with Ke Ya

　　I had actually discovered Ke Ya a long time ago, but I didn't say it out loud, so I let her talk to me first. Ke Ya asked gently, "Excuse me, who are you and what do you want to do at my house?"

　　I turned my head and looked at Keya, with her soft golden hair that just reached her shoulders, gentle eyes, and a complexion that was more rosy because of her paleness. Her figure was very skinny and beautiful, giving people a gentle and lovely temperament. Looking at her, I wanted to hold her in my arms and take good care of her. Keya looked at me and kept staring at me. Her pale face slowly turned red, thinking: "How can he be so rude? He didn't answer my questions and just kept staring at me, but I couldn't get angry with him. Why? It's such a strange feeling."

　　Tina looked at me and put her hands in front of my eyes and shook them, then said with a smile, "Honey, come back to your senses."

　　I came back to my senses and said with a smile: "Sorry, you are so beautiful that I looked at you for a little too long. We are pirates and have no ill intentions. We just need supplies on the ship and would like to borrow your place to stay for a few days. We will leave after the supplies are replenished."

　　It was the first time that a man praised her beauty. Ke Ya was very happy and her face became even redder. She said shyly, "Of course, these sisters are beautiful. I am not a beauty. I am a pirate. Then can you tell me about the sea? I have never been outside so I really want to know what is out there."

　　I said gently, "Sure, if you are willing to lend us a place to stay, I will tell you about what's going on outside every day during the few days you stay here, okay?"

　　Ke Ya was not wary of us at all and said happily, "Okay, no problem, you can stay as long as you want. I'm very bored reading books at home all day, it would be great if you can chat with me and tell me about the outside world. Thank you."

　　Tina smiled and said, "Thank you, sister. What kind of books does your sister like to read?"

　　Ke Ya said sadly: "I read medical books because I am not in good health and cannot go out. I really want to go out and see the outside world, so I read more medical books to cure my illness and see the outside world."

　　Ai Xue said sadly: "Sister Keya is so pitiful. Don't worry, your illness will definitely get better."

　　I smiled and said, "Keya, if you trust me, I can help you. I have learned some medical skills."

　　Kaya said happily after hearing what I said, "Did Mr. Demon King also learn medical skills?"

　　I smiled and said, "Just call me brother. That's what they all call me. Calling me Mr. Demon King is too distant."

　　Ke Ya was very happy to hear me call her brother because she had no friends. She said excitedly, "Yes, brother, please help me with my medical treatment."

　　After that, he sat down next to me and asked me, "Brother, what do you think?"

　　I felt comfortable inside when I called Ke Ya brother. I smiled and said, "Put your hand on me. I'll feel your pulse."

　　Ke Ya obediently put her hand on mine and asked, "Brother, what is pulse diagnosis?"

　　I put my fingers on Ke Ya's pulse and felt it. Ke Ya's skin was very soft and smooth. I explained to her while feeling her pulse. Ke Ya looked at me with admiration and said, "Brother, you are amazing. Ke Ya has been reading medical books for so long and she didn't know there is such a way of diagnosing illnesses."

　　After taking her pulse, I smiled and said, "Keya, you don't have any illness. Your illness probably started after you became overly sad."

　　Ke Ya looked at me in surprise and said, "Brother even knew when the disease started. Brother is amazing."

　　Ke Ya thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said sadly: "After my parents passed away, I cried so hard that I started to get sick. I have never been able to get well. Does my brother have any solution?"

　　I stroked Ke Ya's hair and said gently, "Brother, of course there is a way to cure Ke Ya's illness, so that Ke Ya can go out and play like a normal girl."

　　When Ke Ya heard me say this, she was moved and said, "Why is brother so nice to Ke Ya? This is the first time we met."

　　I pulled Keya into my arms, hugged her thin and warm body and said, "You already call me brother, how can I not heal you, little fool?"

　　When Ke Ya heard me affectionately call her a little fool, she thought: "Brother's embrace is so warm, just like mother's embrace. I really want to be a little fool in brother's arms forever."

　　The girls looked at Ke Ya and thought, "Another lovely sister has been tricked into her husband's hand. Now we have another sister."

　　Locke came out with some refreshments and saw me hugging Keya, and said angrily, "What are you doing to the young lady?"

　　She put down the snacks and rushed towards me. After Locke called her, Keya woke up immediately. She tried to break free from my embrace but she was too weak to do so and had to let me hold her. Keya thought, "I am so embarrassed. I actually let my brother hold me in front of so many people. I am so embarrassed."

　　The blush completely covered her pale face, and Ke Ya looked even more beautiful now. Ke Ya saw Locke rushing over to hit her and quickly said, "Locke, you misunderstood. I am doing this because I am treating my brother. Stop it."

　　Locke stopped when he heard Kaya's words. In fact, Locke had been eavesdropping on the conversation between Kaya and me. When he heard that I could cure Kaya's disease, he thought: "If I cure the young lady's disease, how can I take the young lady's property? This bastard actually disrupted my plan. No, I can't let him cure the young lady's disease. I must kill him. I have spent so many years on this plan and I can't let him ruin it. Even if he is a Shichibukai, I have to kill him. It seems that I have to find Zangao quickly. Humph, young lady, I'm sorry, I wanted you to live a few more years, but now it's impossible. You should blame this guy."

　　Locke stopped and said quickly: "I saw him holding the lady and thought he was going to do something to her. Please forgive my disrespect, Mr. Demon King."

　　I thought: "You black cat, you actually used this demon king to show your loyalty. Just wait and see how I will kill you, black cat."

　　I could only smile and say, "It's normal. It's not normal for a housekeeper to not have any reaction when seeing the lady hugging a stranger. I don't blame you."

　　When Keya heard me say that I was a stranger, she said seriously, "Brother is not a stranger, he is my brother. Keya forbids you to say that you are my stranger."

　　I pinched Keya's nose and said, "I know, my little fool."

　　Locke was even more determined to kill me when he saw Kaya acting like a little bird to me. After we finished our tea, Kaya took us to visit the rooms. We all lived separately, Tina and Ashe in one room, Bellmère and Ling'er in one room, the two sisters and Kuina in one room, and I in one room. Usopp hadn't spoken since he came in, and Kaya ignored him. He had his own house, so he went home to live. Locke disappeared when Kaya took us to choose the room. We saw the sheep butler, who was a very good person and followed Kaya's instructions in everything. He was a loyal butler.

　　We had the most delicious and richest dinner after sailing for so long. It was really the most noble meal. We were very satisfied with the meal. Ke Ya said gently, "Brother, is it delicious?"

　　I smiled and said, "It's delicious. Keya, you are so rich that you made so much. It's such a waste. We can't even finish it."

　　Ke Ya smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as brother is happy, it doesn't matter if I make more. Anyway, there are plenty of these things at home. As long as brother is satisfied, it's fine."

　　After we finished our meal and enjoyed some snacks, we were so full that we almost lay down. The other girls went to take a shower, leaving me and Ke Ya alone in the living room. I smiled and said, "Ke Ya, can you show me your room?"

　　Ke Ya thought: "How can I let my daughter's room be visited casually? It's okay to let my brother visit it, hehe."

　　Ke Ya said gently: "Brother wants to visit, I will take him to visit, let's go."

　　After that, she stretched out her little hand and hoped that I would hold her hand. I held her skinny little hand and felt Ke Ya's skinny body. Ke Ya took my hand and walked happily to the room, thinking to herself: "It's been a long time since we held hands. Brother's presence today gave me so much warmth, hehe."

　　We walked into the room, and a burst of fragrance hit our noses. I looked at the layout of the room. There was a big bookcase, a big white bed. The head of the bed was facing the window so I could see the dark night sky when I slept. There was a desk with a desk lamp and a few books, and a shelf with many stuffed dolls. There were many murals hanging on the floor, and a photo of Keya with her parents. The photo showed that Keya was very happy.

　　Ke Ya watched me carefully look at my room and thought, "I wonder if my brother will like it."

　　After reading it, I smiled and said, "Keya's room gives me a very elegant and quiet feeling. I like it very much."

　　After hearing the satisfactory answer, Ke Ya said happily: "As long as my brother likes it, I'm afraid that my brother will think that my room is not well decorated."

　　I pulled Keya to sit beside the bed and said with a smile: "Keya, let me tell you about your illness."

　　When Ke Ya heard about the illness, she said gently, "Brother, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."

　　I smiled and said, "You are not sick at all. You just have depression. You are so sad because your mom died that you are sick. No one is there to comfort you. Your family members are worried about you and don't let you go out to play or meet friends. That's why you are always unhappy. You haven't been exercising for a long time so you feel weak."

　　After hearing what I said, Ke Ya said, "Brother, is there any way to cure my illness? I want to go out and see the world."

　　I have an idea. I will tell you about it and you can decide. Ke Ya nodded. I smiled and said, "You want to go out and play by yourself, but your brother is worried about you. I want to take you out to sea. Your brothers and sisters will chat and play with you, so you won't be depressed, and you can see the outside world. And your brother really wants you to be our ship doctor. You have read so many medical books and you should know a lot. There is no doctor on your brother's ship. I am afraid that if I get sick in the future, no one will take care of me. That will be troublesome. Is that okay? Ke Ya."

　　Ke Ya was very happy after hearing what I said because her brother needed her and she could finally find something she could do. She thought, "My brother is so kind. He helped me with my illness and was afraid that it would be dangerous for me to go out alone, so he took me, a girl who knows nothing, with him. Moreover, my medical skills are not yet fully practiced. What if I can't help my brother then?"

　　Ke Ya said in a low voice: "Brother, Ke Ya's medical skills are not yet fully practiced. I am afraid that I will not be able to help you and cause trouble for you."

　　I pulled Keya into my arms, hugged her waist and said gently, "I don't mind even if you cause me more trouble. As long as you are willing to go out to sea with me and I can rest assured, I will be satisfied. Will you promise me, Keya?"

　　Ke Ya raised her head and her gentle eyes slowly became moist. She said with emotion: "Ke Ya promises you, brother, why are you so good to me? Ke Ya is so touched by you. Ke Ya will work harder to learn medical skills and help brother in the future. She won't let brother down."

　　I looked at the gentle and lovely Keya's beautiful red lips opening and closing in a very sexy way as she spoke, and I said hoarsely, "Keya, can I kiss you, brother?"

　　When Ke Ya heard what I said, her face turned red with embarrassment. She thought, "Brother wants to kiss me, should I refuse? I have never been kissed before, and it is my happiness to give my first kiss to brother."

　　She said shyly: "Brother, this is Kaya's first time, please be gentle."
