Chapter 21

Stop laughing!

"Little brother, you're very sensible. Do you want to work with your older sister?"

Seeing that they had completely taken control of the situation on the ship, the two women became even more arrogant.

One of them even tried to bewitch Li Yi.

"This is a new world, without laws or rules, governed by only one principle: the survival of the fittest!"

"Don't you want to experience the wonders of womanhood?"

"Once you join us, you can pick any of these girls and do whatever you want with them."

At that moment, another woman's somewhat impatient voice came through.

"Xu Ling, why are you wasting your breath talking to him? Just chop him up and feed him to the sharks, won't that solve the problem?"

Xu Ling wore a charming smile, licked her lips, and spoke with an extremely seductive and provocative tone.

"Little brother, are you really not going to join us?"

"Even if it's my older sister... it's not impossible."

Li Yi stared at her carefully for a moment, then shook his head.

I don't like you.

For a woman, nothing could be more humiliating than this.

The smile on Xu Ling's face disappeared.

She stared at Li Yi with a cold gaze.

A woman's undisguised laughter came from beside him.

"You're asking for trouble! You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

Li Yi leaned against the ship's wall in a comfortable position.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do such a foolish thing."

"Your name is... Xu Ling, right? I've met you before, and I know your past, so I'm willing to give you a chance."

His calm voice echoed across the sea.

He had indeed met Xu Ling; if he wanted to, no distance could stop his gaze.

Therefore, he knew what had happened to Xu Ling.

"I'll give you two choices: one, you stop fighting and leave now, and I can let you go."

"Second, I'll beat you to death."

A brief silence fell over the ship.

Apart from Liu Yue, everyone else looked at Li Yi with a strange, incomprehensible gaze.

At that moment, they all had only one thought in their minds.

What is this guy saying?

Xu Ling laughed so hard she was shaking, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Little brother, do you want to be a hero?"

"Who do you think you are?"

"I've seen too many people like you, thinking that just because you got a special ability you can become a hero..."

Li Yi had no interest in listening to her lament.

She has no intention of stopping; she has undoubtedly made her choice.

To be honest, Li Yi did intend to let them go.

Because Li Yi had inadvertently witnessed what had happened to the two of them.

Just like they said.

The two women were tricked onto the ship and subjected to abuse by a gang.

The bruises and swelling on my body are also due to this.

The difference is that they didn't escape.

They were coerced by this gang into committing fraud.

They gain trust by playing the victim, and then succeed in their schemes.

Those who are deceived often meet a bad end.

Reduced to exploited slaves...

If Xu Ling stops there, Li Yi can simply treat her as a victim and leave her alone.

Unfortunately, she had no intention of stopping.

Just then, a ten-meter-long boat sped towards them.

It was very fast, with long oars on both sides that cut through the waves and propelled the boat across the sea.

Upon seeing the ship, Xu Ling and the other woman trembled slightly.

Deep in his eyes was undisguised fear.

The boat came to a steady stop.

Laughter could be heard from the ship even before the people arrived.

"Hahaha! Looks like we've made quite a haul this time!"

"Five female students? Brother Qiang, you're in luck this time..."

"If Brother Qiang is eating meat, shouldn't we at least gnaw on some bones?"

A powerful and domineering voice rang out.

"Of course! As long as my brother Qiang has a bite to eat, you guys will get yours too!"

The man called Brother Qiang stood at the bow of the boat, looking down at everyone from above.

He was burly, shirtless, with a lifelike tiger head tattooed on his chest and abdomen, looking fierce and menacing.

He glanced at the women's faces, a hint of amazement flashing in his greedy eyes.

Mo Wenqiang jumped off the bow of the ship and landed on the sea.

An astonishing scene unfolded.

He stood steadily on the sea, as if walking on flat ground.

"Brother Qiang..."

Xu Ling and the other woman both lowered their heads.

Qiang Ge's large, strong hand gripped Xu Ling's throat, lifting her head.

He revealed a sinister yet benevolent smile.

"Good job, I'll reward you later."

A smile had just appeared on Xu Ling's face.

I felt a strong sense of suffocation.

"But you didn't do it perfectly, so you have to be punished."

Xu Ling's face flushed red, and she pressed down hard on Qiang Ge's hands.

But it's like an iron clamp, impossible to budge.

Just as her eyes rolled back and she was about to lose consciousness, Qiang Ge finally released her.

Her body slumped on the boat, gasping for breath like a stranded fish.

Looking at the young man on the boat who remained calm and composed, Qiang Ge laughed heartily.

"Kid, you've got some nerve, huh?"

"Interested in hanging out with Brother Qiang?"

Li Yi's behavior was quite different from that of the others he had encountered.

Most others panicked, and few remained so composed.

Li Yi ignored him and instead looked down at Xu Ling.

"I don't really understand why you made that choice."

"You should hate him to the core, hate this ship to the core, so why won't you stop?"

Xu Ling's face still had a slight flush.

She avoided Li Yi's gaze, her eyes lowered.

Although nothing was said, it was as if something was said.

Qiang Ge looked at Li Yi with great interest.

He didn't care about Li Yi's actions, which stemmed from his absolute confidence in his own strength.

The power he extracted was that of the Child of the Ocean.

This is a capability that can be described as bug-level.

When he is in the ocean, he can draw upon the ocean's power to strengthen himself.

This was only the third day of the group's journey.

He is confident that he is the strongest in the Dragon Kingdom.

Even the strongest being on Earth!!

The same can be seen from the enemies they encountered.

To date, he has not encountered a single opponent.

He crushed all his enemies with overwhelming force!

On the first day, he was very cautious.

On the second day, he grew bolder, recruiting followers and humiliating women.

Now, he can unleash all his desires without restraint!

In just three days, his immense power transformed him from an ordinary porter into a tyrant!

"I'm the strongest!"

Facing the young man before him, Qiang stood tall and proud, radiating confidence.

The men on the boat cheered for him.

"Brother Qiang is awesome!!"

"You brat, you're incredibly lucky to have earned Brother Qiang's favor!"

However, the burst of laughter sounded particularly jarring at that moment.

Everyone's eyes followed the sound of laughter.

Liu Yue pursed her lips, looking embarrassed.

You can't hold back your laughter!

Of course, other people might not be able to keep it up either.

To claim you are the strongest in front of Superman?
