155: Chapter 155 Li Yue's Scheme

Watching the girls around him gradually form an encirclement...

Qi Yun stopped hesitating and immediately tried to escape through the Space Imprint.

However, it wouldn't work.

Qi Yun snapped his head down and looked at his right foot.

In the shadows by his feet, a girl was currently gripping his ankle with one hand!

"Hehehe~"

Li Yue's triumphant laughter rang out again. She crossed her arms, her eyes flashing with the cunning light of 'just as I thought'.

"How is it? You can't use that 'whoosh' skill to run away anymore, right?"

"Since this afternoon, when you kept demanding I let go, I felt something was a bit off."

"If you really wanted me to let go, you could have just teleported again."

"Why wait until I released my hold on you to escape?"

"So, I guessed that your teleportation skill might require maintaining a certain level of isolation from the outside world."

"When you're in continuous, close contact with others, does it get affected or even become impossible to activate?"

"I underestimated you," Qi Yun's voice was calm, showing no signs of panic.

"But do you really think this can stop me?"

He glanced at the petite girl who was still death-gripping his ankle.

Even without his spatial abilities, with his current physical attributes exceeding Level 20, his strength, speed, and reactions far surpassed those of ordinary people.

A mere girl whose strength didn't seem particularly outstanding—did she really think she could restrict him with just a grip?

It was simply a joke!

Qi Yun's leg muscles tensed instantly as he began to exert force.

Yet, his right foot didn't budge an inch?!

Alarm bells rang in Qi Yun's mind!

My strength has been weakened!

"Noticed it? Do you feel like you can't muster any strength?"

Li Yue's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of playfulness.

She walked up to Qi Yun, extended her index finger, and stroked his face.

"Let me reintroduce myself~ Li Yue, from the Unique Assassin class. Assassins aren't just about stealth and backstabs, you know~"

"Using poison is also part of an assassin's romance, right?"

This was a new skill Li Yue had learned after leveling up over the past few days.

She blinked, her smile sweet.

"Don't worry~ Baby's daddy, I've controlled the potency. This level will only make you lose your strength."

Qi Yun felt his arms starting to go soft as well; even the simple action of raising his hand became laborious.

"What... do you want to do?"

Li Yue tilted her head, revealing a mischievous smile.

"What do I want to do?"

"Heehee~ Naturally..."

"I'm going to do everything to you that you did to me~"

As she spoke, she gave a look to two other girls nearby.

"Xiao Lan, Xiao Hui, hold him. Don't let him fall."

The two girls immediately stepped forward, one on each side, supporting Qi Yun's softening body and holding him steady.

Snow said to Li Yue anxiously, "Yue, Sister Yue! You promised me! You—you won't hurt Qi Yun!"

Li Yue looked at Snow, the mischievous grin on her face softening slightly.

"Xue'er, don't worry. How could I hurt the person I like? How could I hurt the father of my child?"

"You're not pregnant, I've said it many times," Qi Yun suddenly spoke up.

Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Not right now, but that might not be the case later."

The implication in those words was so obvious that even the two girls holding Qi Yun blushed.

To prevent someone from suddenly softening their heart and letting go, giving Qi Yun a chance to 'whoosh' away again,

Li Yue clapped her hands, and two more girls came forward, each grabbing one of Qi Yun's calves.

Four people, each controlling one of Qi Yun's limbs.

"Come, lay him down slowly on that empty bed. Be gentle, don't bump him," Li Yue commanded with poise.

Because his limbs were being held and pulled in four different directions, Qi Yun's current posture was similar to the character for 'wood'.

One of the girls holding Qi Yun looked at him as he lay on the bed with his eyes closed and silent, then looked at the excited Li Yue and couldn't help but speak up:

"Um, Sister Yue, is this really okay? It feels a bit like a crime?"

Hearing this, Li Yue reached out and poked the girl's forehead with her index finger.

"So uneducated! How terrifying!"

"Listen up! The crime of rape refers to the act of using force to have relations with a woman against her will."

"May I ask, is Qi Yun a woman?"

The girls: "???"

"N-no..." one girl answered blankly.

Li Yue said righteously:

"What does this prove? It proves that even in the old society with its rules and regulations, what we're doing now is absolutely no problem!"

"Besides, what kind of world is this now? Survival at sea! Survival of the fittest!"

The hesitation on the girls' faces faded significantly.

Snow listened from the side, dumbfounded. She wanted to argue, but she was clumsy with words; she felt Li Yue's logic was weird somewhere, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

Qi Yun was helpless; he was now just a lamb to the slaughter.

"Alright! Enough talk!" Seeing that 'morale' was settled, Li Yue clapped her hands and turned her gaze to Qi Yun on the bed, her eyes shining with excitement and eagerness.

"Sisters, hold on tight! Don't give him a chance!"

"It's time to check the goods~"

She walked to the bedside, looking down at Qi Yun, who kept his eyes tightly shut.

Then, under the nervous, excited, and curious gazes of everyone—

She took off his outer garment.

A small patch of firm chest skin was exposed under the light.

The girls collectively held their breath.

Qi Yun still kept his eyes closed. He could feel the cool air touching his skin and the weight of the gazes falling upon him.

All the girls, including Snow, were dazed.

The air seemed to freeze, leaving only the sound of uneven, heavy breathing.

Li Yue's cheeks were also exceptionally red, her eyes startlingly bright.

With his eyes closed, an old saying inexplicably flashed through Qi Yun's mind: 'What goes around, comes around'.

But Qi Yun didn't plan on letting her have her way just like that.

Absolutely not.

"Li Yue," Qi Yun suddenly spoke, his voice carrying a faint hint of mockery.

"Hmm?" Li Yue raised an eyebrow, waiting with interest for what he had to say next.

"Aren't you being a bit too naive?"

The smile on Li Yue's face stiffened slightly. "What do you mean?"

Qi Yun's eyes remained closed. "A key—if it doesn't want to stay straight, or simply doesn't react..."

"Then even if you pry the keyhole open, it won't be able to open the door."

"Boom—"

It was as if a bomb had gone off in the silent cabin!

In an instant, everyone's faces turned beet red.

Li Yue was no exception.

A few seconds later, Li Yue suddenly let out a "Ha!" of laughter.

"Whether the key is straight or whether the door can be opened..."

She repeated Qi Yun's words, leaning down to whisper in his ear:

"That's not for that mouth of yours, which only knows how to talk tough, to decide..."

Her gaze swept pointedly over Qi Yun's body, her voice lowering with temptation and provocation:

"Your body is much more honest than your mouth. Why don't we try and see who it actually listens to?"

With that, she straightened up and, in front of everyone, began to unbutton her own clothes.

Her movements weren't fast; they even carried a deliberate sense of display.

It had to be said, Li Yue's figure was indeed quite a treasure.
