Andre Willow sat down close beside him and said, "I'll accompany Master, I can take care of you that way."
Wu Heng put his arm around the fox lady's shoulder and smiled, "Just an ordinary little task, nothing dangerous."
Pirates can't possibly keep their promises.
But Wu Heng also had ways to protect himself even if there really was danger, the boundary door or Phantom Train could get him out of harm's way.
Taking Andre Willow with him would only mean he had to divide his attention to take care of her.
That could actually lead to problems.
"Alright! Then Master, please be extra careful."
"Hmm!" Wu Heng patted the fox lady's shoulder gently.
She looked up at him and then twirled her tail around.
Wu Heng took out a wooden comb and started grooming her fluffy tail, while Andre Willow nestled beside him with a blushing face.
...
As night fell.
A medium-sized cargo ship floated on the sea surface.
