40: Chapter 40 Misjudging Someone

The night was deep.

Inside the wooden house of the 01 Tribe, most people had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Sophia, however, could not sleep.

She lay on her side on a pallet made of animal skins, her back to the sleeping Anna and Katya, her eyes wide open in the darkness.

She was looking at what was happening in the island chat channel.

She was shocked.

When those Tribes mentioned the name "01 Tribe," they were collectively silent.

It was a naked fear, a fear so great that they dared not even mention the name.

On this island, the 01 Tribe was an existence that no one dared to provoke, and even discussing it required extreme caution.

And the creator of all this was Qi Yun, who looked young, calm, and even excessively handsome.

Sophia's mind conjured up the image of Qi Yun's handsome face.

To be able to make all the Tribes tremble in fear.

What kind of strength did this require? What kind of methods? What kind of... deterrent power?

"Is Sophia also unable to sleep?"

Anna's lowered voice came from beside her.

Sophia gave a soft "Hmm."

"I... I'm a little scared."

"Andrei will not give up, I know him."

Anna's voice trembled.

"Don't be afraid, this Tribe is very strong."

Sophia turned over, looking at Anna's blurry silhouette in the darkness, her voice clear and firm.

Anna was stunned.

She had not expected Sophia to believe so much in the strength of this Tribe.

Sophia continued, "As long as we can prove our value and truly become members of this Tribe, we will remain safe."

"Value... but we only have ordinary occupations."

Anna murmured.

Sophia paused, her ice-blue eyes shimmering in the darkness:

"Ordinary occupations also have their own value."

"Our physical fitness is better than most people. We have strong endurance and good flexibility. As long as we are willing to learn, we can definitely become useful warriors."

Anna seemed persuaded; she was quiet for a while, then asked again:

"Sophia, what kind of person do you think Leader Qi Yun is?"

This question made Sophia's heart skip a beat.

What kind of person?

Powerful, mysterious, and also, excessively handsome.

"He is a very special person."

Sophia's voice was very soft.

"I think so too." Anna's voice carried a hint of a young girl's longing.

"He is so amazing, and handsome too. Plus, he is very good to everyone, fair, and doesn't bully people."

Sophia did not respond.

A strange, subtle emotion was quietly germinating in the depths of her heart.

She knew what that was.

But she had never felt this way about anyone before.

"Sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow," Sophia said softly.

"Mm."

Anna responded, turned over, and gradually her breathing became steady.

But Sophia still couldn't sleep.

In fact, she was also worried.

She knew what kind of person Andrei was: crazy, arrogant, and unscrupulous.

He would never give up.

The deterrent power displayed by the 01 Tribe could intimidate other Tribes, but could it intimidate a madman?

She wanted to ask for Qi Yun's thoughts.

She quietly sat up and looked at the huge bed in the room.

Sophia hesitated for a few seconds, then gently lifted the animal skin, stood up barefoot, and made no sound.

The wooden house was large and divided into several areas.

Sophia stepped on the rough wooden floor, her footsteps as light as a cat's.

Her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

She wanted to ask Qi Yun how he viewed Andrei's threat.

How the 01 Tribe planned to respond, and what they, as new members, could do.

Through the bed curtains, Sophia could see a person lying on it.

She opened her mouth, wanting to call out softly: "Leader Qi Yun..."

But before the words could be spoken.

The person on the bed suddenly moved.

The movement was faster than Sophia could react.

A sturdy, powerful hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, and pulled hard.

Sophia let out a cry of surprise, lost her balance, and fell forward.

The next second, she fell into a warm, solid embrace.

Sophia's mind went blank.

Before she could react to what had happened, a palm had already cupped the back of her head.

Then, a warm, soft object covered her lips.

It was lips.

Qi Yun's lips.

Sophia's azure eyes widened in the darkness.

He was kissing her.

Qi Yun was also puzzled; he had clearly told Ke Yun, Bai Yu, and Shu Qianxue that they would rest for tonight.

He didn't expect anyone to still not give up.

Since you've delivered yourself to my door, how could I not eat?

Sophia's body stiffened instantly, and then, a shiver like an electric current spread from her lips throughout her whole body.

Sophia instinctively wanted to resist, wanting to push him away.

Her strength, in the face of someone trained for years, was insignificant.

And... she was surprised to find that she didn't hate it.

After the initial shock, a strange, tingling, leg-weakening sensation began to sweep through her body.

Her body reacted before her reason did, becoming soft and even slightly reciprocating.

Sophia's breathing became rapid, and her cheeks were burning hot.

Sophia closed her eyes, her arms no longer pushing him away, but slowly wrapping around Qi Yun's neck.

This action seemed to encourage Qi Yun.

His kiss became deeper, and his other hand began to wander over her body, from her slender waist to her perky hips.

Sophia's breathing was completely chaotic. She had never experienced such intimate contact.

On the ice rink, she was a proud queen, the object of everyone's admiration.

But here, she felt like a piece of ice that was melting.

Qi Yun's hand reached under her hem, his scorching palm pressed against the delicate skin on her waist.

The touch was perfectly heart-trembling, delicate as grease, smooth as satin.

Sophia shuddered violently.

Just at this moment, Qi Yun's movements also suddenly stopped.

Wait, this touch is not right.

Whether it was Bai Yu, Shu Qianxue, or Ke Yun, this touch and body type didn't match up.

Then, Qi Yun's puzzled voice rang out.

"You are not Shu Qianxue."

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, instantly waking Sophia up.

She opened her eyes suddenly.

"And not Bai Yu either." Qi Yun's voice became deeper.

"Ke Yun's hair isn't this long... Chen Xiaolin?"

His palm was still pressed against the skin on her waist, the temperature scorching.

Sophia opened her mouth, but could not make a sound.

He didn't want to kiss her.

He had... mistaken her for someone else.

He thought she was someone else.

"I am Sophia."

Sophia finally found her voice, and she mustered the courage to say.

"Ahem, Sophia, why are you seducing me?"

Qi Yun stopped; if Shu Qianxue saw this, he would be in trouble.

He had rejected them, only to turn around and have the new white girl in his bed.

"I didn't, I just walked here and was pulled onto the bed."

Sophia defended herself in a low voice.

Uh, it seems that is indeed the case.

The room was too dark today, and he had subconsciously thought it was Shu Qianxue and the others.
