114: Chapter 114 My hands got wet?

Li Yue stopped wasting words. She walked forward step by step, taking off her clothes one by one. Her entire person, like a reflection in water, quickly became blurry and transparent, finally disappearing completely into thin air!

Along with her, all her presence also instantly vanished without a trace.

Invisibility! And it was the highest level of invisibility—an ability that could perfectly conceal even one's presence!

Li Tao looked at the spot where Li Yue had disappeared, exhaled softly, and his eyes grew deep.

The reason he had chosen to back down earlier was precisely because of Qi Yun's overly composed attitude.

The other party was either a fool or had enough confidence to back it up.

And someone who could become the leader of a luxury cruise ship could absolutely not be a fool. Then there was only one answer—Qi Yun's Tribe likely also had a Sole-Class professional, and not just one! Perhaps even more.

Before figuring out the other party's background, a direct confrontation was foolish.

Furthermore, although Li Yue's Unique Class, "Shadow Walker," was invincible at assassination and infiltration, it was not her strong suit in a direct frontal assault.

"Let you be smug for a while longer." Li Tao looked in the direction the 01 Tribe had left and muttered to himself.

...

Qi Yun led everyone quickly back to the beach and boarded the cruise ship.

Not until they were some distance away from the island could Sophia help but ask, "Qi Yun, why did the other side give up so easily? Something feels off."

Qi Yun stood on the deck, watching the island gradually shrink, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know. Caution is paramount."

He hadn't walked many steps when his brows suddenly furrowed slightly, his gaze sweeping seemingly aimlessly over an empty corner on the deck behind him.

"What's wrong, Qi Bao?" Shu Qianxue noticed his abnormality.

"It's nothing." Qi Yun smiled slightly, shook his head, and continued walking forward, "Maybe it's just the sea breeze."

If it weren't for the fact that I am a spatial class and have passive Space Perception, I might really be in trouble this time, Qi Yun thought to himself.

However, at that "empty" corner his gaze had swept over.

Li Yue, who had just used her invisibility ability to sneak in without anyone knowing, felt her heart pounding from lingering fear.

For a moment, just now, she felt as if the man named Qi Yun's gaze had landed on her!

That feeling of being locked onto, although it only lasted for an instant, made the hair on her body stand on end!

"An illusion?" Li Yue forced herself to calm down.

Qi Yun led everyone to the recreation room on the upper deck and placed the rabbit treasure chest on the table in the center of the room.

The silver chest stood quietly, the rabbit flag on top swaying slightly, attracting everyone's gaze. The girls' eyes were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

"Qi Yun, hurry up and open it to see what treasure is inside!" Chen Xiaolin said impatiently.

"Yeah, yeah, maybe it's a high-level blueprint or rare materials!" Shu Qianxue also leaned in.

Ye Xi, Su Mu, Li, and the others didn't speak, but their eyes were also fixed on the chest.

However, Qi Yun raised his hand to stop everyone who wanted to approach.

"Don't rush. Everyone, do not touch this chest, and definitely do not open it without permission. This is an order." His tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable weight.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, not understanding why Qi Yun was doing this. Finding a treasure chest but not opening it—this wasn't his style.

"Qi Yun, are you worried the chest has a trap?" Bai Yu pushed up her glasses.

"Perhaps. In any case, until I give the word, no one moves. Xiao Lin, arrange for people to take turns guarding this place. Without my permission, no one is to touch the chest."

Qi Yun did not elaborate.

Qi Yun took the chest alone to a room.

Upon sensing that Li Yue had also followed him, Qi Yun laughed inwardly, 'Let's see if I don't play you to death.'

He pushed the door open and went in. After waiting for Li Yue to enter as well, Qi Yun closed the door.

This room was not large, and inside was the "Happy Water Tank," which was where everyone came to get water.

Qi Yun placed the rabbit treasure chest on the floor in the center of the room with a "clang."

Then, he sauntered over to the "Happy Water Tank" and turned on the faucet.

"Splash—"

Clear freshwater flowed out. He used a metal cup to catch it underneath, then walked back to the chest, putting on a show of frowning and contemplating while examining the chest.

He didn't turn off the faucet.

The water continued to pour out, quickly filling the cup, then began to overflow, flowing along the floor and spreading throughout the room.

"Damn it!"

Li Yue, who was in an invisible state and had followed Qi Yun into the room without a sound, cursed inwardly.

Is this man a pig? He doesn't turn off the faucet after getting water?!

She watched the clear water quickly spread across the floor, creeping towards her, and was instantly flustered.

Although her invisibility ability was powerful, it was not perfect.

She could make herself "non-existent" to conventional perception, but she was still a physical entity; she occupied space and would bump into things.

"This stupid man!" Li Yue cursed again in her heart, but her feet had to start moving carefully and extremely slowly, attempting to avoid the direction the water was spreading and reach a corner.

Just then, Qi Yun seemed to "finally" notice that the sound of water behind him was wrong. He let out an "Ah!" as if he had just realized it, turned around in a hurry, and scrambled to turn off the faucet.

"Tsk, almost flooded the room." Qi Yun muttered, frowning as he looked at the small puddle that had already accumulated on the floor.

He tried to walk around the puddle towards the door.

He had just taken a step when his foot suddenly slipped!

"Ouch!"

Qi Yun cried out in alarm, his body stumbling, nearly falling. He quickly reached out to steady himself against the wall, but an expression of "pain" appeared on his face.

"Damn it, so slippery!" Qi Yun cursed, then began to carefully, while holding onto the wall, try to inch towards the door along the parts that hadn't been wetted.

Li Yue, hiding in the corner, felt her mood—which had almost made her laugh out loud at Qi Yun's slip—instantly vanish!

Because the "safe route" Qi Yun had chosen was, unfortunately, right along the wall, and it would pass exactly through the corner where she was hiding!

Qi Yun was inching over, step by step, holding onto the wall, in her direction!

"It's over..." Li Yue's heart pounded wildly as her brain raced.

What now? Even if she could kill this stupid man now! On a ship full of enemies, once exposed, the outcome was easy to imagine.

Keep hiding? But if Qi Yun walked a few more steps, he would definitely bump into her!

Desperate situation!

Seeing that Qi Yun's hand was already within inches of her body!

Li Yue gritted her teeth, her muscles tense to the limit, her focus highly concentrated.

She turned slightly, flattening her body as much as possible, pressing tightly against the cold wall, even holding her breath completely.

Just as Qi Yun's hand was about to touch her, Li Yue twisted her waist violently.

That was close!

Li Yue broke out in a cold sweat on her back.

But it wasn't over!

Qi Yun was also moving sideways, inching along! His back was almost pressing against her chest!

Li Yue could only desperately adjust her position.

Qi Yun seemed completely unaware, only focused on looking at his feet as he moved slowly.

One step, two steps...

Li Yue's heart was in her throat; she felt like she was dancing on the tip of a knife.

Finally, Qi Yun's whole body "brushed" past her, moving to the other side, leaving a half-step distance between them.

Li Yue had just let out a sigh of relief, her vigilance relaxing.

Qi Yun chuckled inwardly; he had been waiting for the moment her vigilance relaxed.

"Oh, what the!"

Qi Yun pretended that his foot had stepped on something slippery again, his whole body suddenly stumbling backward, losing his balance!

His hands instinctively reached out behind him, flailing wildly, trying to grab something to steady himself!

Li Yue felt her body tighten, and her lower body felt a bit of pain.

Li Yue realized that this idiot's hand had gone in there, biting her lip tightly to keep from making a sound.

Qi Yun chuckled, but put on a look of bad luck on his face, touching his head with his hand:

"Damn, today is so unlucky. Wait, why is there water on this finger of mine? And this water is a bit sticky."
