109: Chapter 109 Luxury Cruise Ship

Li walked into the room with a light, composed step.

Her posture was as elegant as if she were strolling through her own palace; she walked straight to a wooden chair and sat down.

That simple moon-white dress made her look not like an ordinary person, but more like a goddess who had descended by chance—cold, aloof, and inviolable.

She lifted her eyes and looked at Qi Yun, who was standing at the doorway.

"Do you know? In these long, wearying years, this body of mine has tempted quite a few people."

Li's voice carried the calmness of stating a fact.

"But not many people have had the strength to truly touch it."

Qi Yun's gaze fell upon her involuntarily.

Li's figure was not the breathtaking voluptuousness of Shu Qianxue, nor the cold, slender delicacy of Ye Xi, but a kind of just-right, divine perfection.

The material of her moon-white dress was thin, faintly outlining her smooth and graceful body lines in the moonlight.

Below the hem of her skirt, a section of calf as smooth as jade was revealed, its lines straight and perfect.

Sitting there quietly, she radiated an aura of "no strangers allowed," an inviolable, almost sacred presence.

Qi Yun's heart began to beat faster involuntarily.

The more unattainable and awe-inspiring she felt, the more he wanted to defile her.

He wanted to see what that aloof, icy, and holy person would look like when stained by the flames of lust.

He suppressed the heat in his heart and walked closer to Li: "Do you plan to... just sit there like that?"

Li tilted her face up, the light illuminating her impeccable features.

"I don't actually understand these things very well. In the long span of time, there has only been slaughter and slumber. However..."

"The feeling of kissing you is not bad."

Qi Yun felt an itch in his heart at her words.

He reached out and gently touched her exposed, rounded shoulder.

The sensation was indescribably delicate and smooth.

Li suddenly let out a soft chuckle.

Qi Yun paused his movements and looked up at her: "What are you laughing at?"

Li stopped laughing:

"I remembered that a long time ago, someone else wanted to touch my shoulder like this."

She tilted her head, as if recalling carefully.

"Then, before his finger could touch me, his entire arm went 'clatter' and fell to the ground."

Qi Yun: "..."

Recalling their first meeting, he had taken advantage of her; if she had been in control of her power from the start, he might have been finished too.

Li seemed very satisfied with his momentary stiffness, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Qi Yun took a deep breath, suppressing that chill.

No longer hesitating, he slid his hands down, one arm behind her knees and the other supporting her back, and with a slight exertion, he scooped up her lithe body, which contained such terrifying power.

Li seemed somewhat surprised, but she did not struggle, allowing him to hold her.

Carrying her, Qi Yun walked a few steps to the bed and gently laid her flat on the large bed.

"Oh? Is it starting now?" she let out a soft hum, lying motionless on the bed.

Qi Yun leaned over, staring into her eyes that seemed unstained by dust.

"I hope you can keep that expression later."

Li's eyelashes trembled slightly.

The next moment, Qi Yun kissed those soft lips that were always uttering astonishing words.

...

"No, no, can you let me go?"

"No."

"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant before."

...

In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.

The concrete house that had once served as their base was now gone, and a luxury cruise ship was docked at the shore.

This was a luxury medium-sized cruise ship with smooth lines and a silver-white paint job, over forty meters in length.

The hull was divided into three decks, with a simple and well-designed superstructure and huge glass windows that provided a wide view.

The top deck actually had a small but fully equipped swimming pool.

This luxury cruise ship was created after Qi Yun upgraded the base again and converted it; of course, he had spent quite a few points to buy a blueprint for a cruise ship of the same grade and made some improvements.

Not only was it equipped with an efficient hybrid propulsion system, possessing impressive speed and range, but it also carried modules such as autopilot, radar scanning, and simple defensive weapon platforms.

The first and second decks had comfortable living cabins, a fully functional kitchen, a cargo hold storing a large amount of supplies, and even a recreation room equipped with simple entertainment facilities.

This no longer looked like an escape ship, but more like a mobile maritime fortress and resort.

"Wow——!!!"

"So beautiful! So big!"

"A pool! There really is a pool!"

The girls' cheers almost overturned the coast as they rushed toward the cruise ship.

"All personnel have boarded!" Chen Xiaolin, who was in charge of roll call, reported loudly.

"Depart!"

Qi Yun stood on the upper deck and gave the order.

The low roar of the engine sounded, steady and powerful.

The luxury cruise ship slowly left the shore, cutting through the calm sea surface and sailing toward the deep blue ocean.

The sea breeze brushed against their faces, carrying a salty, free scent.

The girls gathered by the deck railing, watching the island gradually fade into the distance.

"Ah, the last month has passed so quickly!"

"You've gotten fat!! Be careful, or Qi Bao won't favor you anymore."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

After sailing for about half a day, sporadic black dots began to appear on the horizon ahead.

As the distance closed, the true appearance of those black dots was revealed—they were boats.

Half were crude, medium-sized wooden rafts; in the middle of each raft was a wooden room of about 20 square meters, where the people of the Tribe would all squeeze in when resting.

The better ones were wooden ships with structures similar to ancient designs, looking sturdier.

Compared to these wooden boats struggling to survive, the silver-glittering, streamlined, engine-roaring luxury cruise ship was simply like an object from another world.

"My god... what is that?!"

"A ship! Such a big ship! It's made of steel!"

"A big shot! A real big shot!"

"Help! Take me with you! I beg you!"

"Daddy! Grandpa! Look here!"

When Qi Yun and his group sailed toward this area, it instantly caused a huge commotion.

People on the nearby wooden boats waved their arms and clothes frantically, shouting until they were hoarse, their eyes filled with extreme longing and envy.

On one of the relatively sturdier wooden sailboats, Liu Kun was wiping his sweat, rowing hard with the oars.

He was the member of the sports academy basketball team who had been clamoring in the channel earlier.

"Zhang Meng, listen! Is that the sound of an engine? A buzzing sound."

Zhang Meng, beside him, spat impatiently: "An engine? Did you row yourself into a hallucination, you damn idiot? Where would an engine come from in this godforsaken place! Keep rowing, we can swap shifts with the others soon, I'm exhausted."

"No, look over there!" Liu Kun pointed sharply to the rear left.

Zhang Meng and the other seven or eight people on the boat looked in the direction he pointed, and then they all collectively froze.

Under the sunlight, a luxury cruise ship, the likes of which they had only seen in movies and news about the wealthy, was sailing slowly toward them with a steady and elegant posture.

"F...k..." Zhang Meng opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a long time.

"A big shot! It's a big shot driving a cruise ship!" The people on their boat instantly became excited.

Liu Kun and Zhang Meng also snapped out of their shock, intense longing erupting in their eyes.

If only they could cling to such a big shot...
