117: Chapter 117 Cut You Off

Inside the room.

Ice-cold water was splashed onto her face.

Li Yue jerked awake, struggling out of a state of profound weakness.

Water... it's water!

She greedily stuck out her tongue, desperately licking the droplets sliding down her cheeks.

Her consciousness cleared slightly.

She found herself unable to move, her entire body tied to a pillar.

The first thing she saw was Qi Yun sitting in a chair opposite her.

"Hah... cough..."

"Awake?" Qi Yun spoke first.

"Qi Yun, I'll fuck eighteen generations of your ancestors... cough! Cough, cough!"

Li Yue let out a weak voice.

"Save your strength."

Li Yue's bloodshot eyes glared at Qi Yun. "When did you discover me?"

This was what she couldn't understand the most. She had never failed before!

Qi Yun walked up to Li Yue, leaning forward slightly to meet her gaze at eye level.

"From the very beginning."

"From the moment you turned invisible, stepped onto my ship, and followed behind me like a little mouse."

"I was watching you."

"Impossible!!" Li Yue struggled violently; she didn't believe it.

Qi Yun smiled, a hint of mockery in his expression.

"So, how did my finger feel?"

!!!

Li Yue's whole body shook violently, as if struck by lightning!

That hand that had reached back haphazardly after he slipped was intentional?! He was playing with her?!

"I'll kill you!!!"

Unparalleled rage and shame exploded instantly!

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she lunged her head forward, trying to bite Qi Yun!

Qi Yun simply leaned back casually, dodging it with ease.

She panted heavily, her vision going dark.

"You fucking piece of shit!!!"

"I haven't even put my own fingers in there!! And you fucking went in first?!"

The cursing was crude and blunt.

Qi Yun took two steps back and sized her up, a playful look flashing in his eyes.

"Tsk," he clicked his tongue, his tone surprised. "With a mouth like that, are you some kind of spiritual girl?"

Li Yue's expression shifted through several emotions.

"Whether I'm a delinquent or not is none of your damn business!!"

"That's just how I live!"

After cursing, she seemed to exhaust the last bit of her forced strength, and her head slumped down weakly.

Her vision went dark in waves.

Several seconds passed before she spoke in a barely audible, raspy voice.

"This time... I'm done for..."

"Kill me... or carve me up... do as you please..."

Qi Yun gave a low chuckle.

"Oh?"

Qi Yun approached by two steps, his tone playful. "As I please? Are you sure?"

Li Yue's body stiffened imperceptibly.

Though Li Yue was in a wretched state, she had an excellent foundation.

Her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll.

Her tall, slender figure was fully on display; her collarbones were distinct, her waist was narrow enough to be held in one hand, and her long legs appeared even straighter because they were tied up.

Li Yue met Qi Yun's eyes, which were inches away and filled with a malicious smile.

"What... what do you want to do?!" Her voice rose in fear.

"Didn't you say I could do as I please?"

Li Yue's heart pounded wildly, an ominous premonition drowning her like icy water.

"If you... if you dare touch me..." She gritted her teeth, trying to use her fiercest tone to threaten him. "I'll snap you off with my legs!!!"

Qi Yun laughed as if he had heard a joke.

"Snap me off?" He chuckled. "Do you even have the strength?"

"..."

Li Yue was speechless. Yes, she didn't.

She could barely even stand steadily now; she was in burning pain, her strength drained, leaving only hunger, thirst, and exhaustion.

Forget resisting; she barely had the energy to curse.

Qi Yun walked over step by step.

"You... don't come over!" Li Yue's voice carried a hint of a sob.

"Weren't you cursing quite fiercely just now? Keep going."

"The more I hear it, the more excited I get."

"..."

Li Yue trembled all over, her lips quivering.

"You fucking pervert, you masochist!!"

...

"Then snap me! Go ahead and snap me!!"

The spiritual girl's figure was indeed quite good, especially the look of resentment on her face combined with her helpless humiliation; it was highly arousing.

"I won't make a sound."

This was the final resistance she could offer.

...

An hour later.

Li Tao's steel transport ship was sailing side-by-side with Qi Yun's ship at the same speed.

The deck was crowded with people, with Li Tao at the head.

His face was grim, his eyes fixed on the deck. "Qi Yun! Hand over Li Yue! We can wipe the slate clean for what happened!"

On the upper deck of the luxury yacht, Qi Yun leaned lazily against the railing.

Hearing Li Tao's shout, Qi Yun sneered and replied slowly, "Li Tao, is there water in your brain? You sent someone to assassinate me, and now you want to end it with a light 'wipe the slate clean'?"

Li Tao's expression became even uglier as he suppressed his anger. "Qi Yun! I'm giving you face here—hand her over, otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite!"

After all, he was an overlord who enslaved a Tribe; how could he not have a temper?

"Oh? Impolite? How impolite are we talking? With this... tin box of yours?"

Qi Yun raised an eyebrow with a half-smile.

As his words fell, he raised his hand.

Behind him, Chen Xiaolin and Ye Xi supported someone as they walked out of the cabin.

It was Li Yue.

She was tied up tightly with coarse rope, but the way she was bound... was a bit special, accentuating her figure's curves even more.

Wet tear stains still hung on her cheeks, and her eyes were red; she had clearly just been crying.

But the most eye-catching thing was her mouth—it was shiny with oil, and there were even some suspicious sauce crumbs stuck to the corners of her lips.

And her originally flat belly was now... slightly bulging?!

Even as she was being held up, seemingly because the position was uncomfortable, she uncontrollably let out a soft—"Burp~"

The sound wasn't loud, but on the relatively quiet sea, it was faintly audible.

Li Tao: "???"

The people behind him: "???"

What... what was going on? She was kidnapped, yet she ate until her mouth was oily, her stomach was bulging, and she was even burping?!

Is this what a hostage is supposed to look like?!

"Here, the person is right here, alive and fatter. Seen enough? If you've seen enough, then get lost."

"Qi Yun!!!" Li Tao was completely enraged, the veins on his forehead throbbing.

"You've gone too far! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?! Hand her over! Otherwise, at worst, the fish will die and the net will break!"

As his words fell, the twenty-odd subordinates behind him on the transport ship's deck all erupted with a powerful aura!

The most striking person was a woman standing beside Li Tao.

That woman's height was extremely exaggerated, looking to be over two meters and ten centimeters!

Her body proportions were excellent, and those breasts looked like they would take two hands to hold.

"Holy crap, Lady Eight-Feet, a top-tier mommy," Qi Yun exclaimed internally.

This height, this build—was it a rare class? Or was she just naturally gifted?

But a cold sneer appeared on his face.

"The fish will die and the net will break?" he repeated, his tone full of disdain. "Just you guys? You think you're worthy of a life-and-death struggle with me?"

As his words fell, he didn't even make any extra movements.

"Awoo——!!!"

A low, savage wolf howl suddenly rang out!

Ten vigorous and massive black shadows appeared! It was ten evolved Shadow Wolf Steeds! They stood nearly 1.8 meters at the shoulder, their bodies covered in dark fur, their fangs sharp, letting out threatening low growls from their throats.

At the same time, the twin sisters Lin Le and Lin Wan smiled at each other. With a "shua" sound, two pairs of wings unfurled from their backs as they took to the sky.
