Lin Feng didn't know how he had left Xue Qingyi's cabin. Walking down the narrow corridor, he felt a knot of turmoil in his heart and decided to go out for some fresh air.

The ship hadn't yet sailed, and the boxing match, the main event, hadn't started. Guests who boarded on the first day were simply looking for some entertainment.

In a bar near the deck, a few scantily clad young women were performing a pole dance on the small central stage, a dance designed to make men's blood boil. The Qingzi Sect had booked the entire cruise ship, so the bars were now exclusively catering to underworld bosses. Anything too tame wouldn't attract business, so naturally, all performances were of the most risqué kind!

Scantily clad women were always a bar's most profitable draw. Already, a dozen or so men with lewd smiles were crowding near the stage, scattering money while shamelessly copping feels from the dancers.

Lin Feng, who had been wandering aimlessly, found himself drawn into the bar. He was incredibly frustrated and wanted to vent in such an environment.

Lin Feng casually sat on a stool in a corner of the bar, ordered a dozen beers, and watched absently. Although the dancers' moves were enticing, they weren't true beauties. Lin Feng, accustomed to top-tier beauties, had little interest in them.

Before long, Lin Feng had downed seven or eight bottles of beer. Without being able to circulate his Inner Strength to protect his stomach, even he felt a bit tipsy, his gaze becoming hazy.

The alcohol eased much of the pressure in his heart, allowing him to momentarily forget the distressing scene of Xue Qingyi's tearful apology.

Lin Feng's eyes roamed the dimly lit bar. He, who rarely frequented such risqué establishments, suddenly felt an urge to completely let loose.

This impulse was like a rapidly strengthening beast. As Lin Feng continued to drink, the urge grew stronger. He began scanning the room for suitable prey—a stranger he found attractive. Even those aspiring models who had come along specifically to earn some extra cash would suffice. Lin Feng just wanted to release all the fire pent up inside him!

Perhaps because it was still early, while the bar's atmosphere was lively, not many professional models were mingling with the patrons. Lin Feng searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone suitable.

A long time passed. Lin Feng had no idea how long he'd been in the small bar; in any case, more than twenty empty beer bottles now sat before him. Finally convinced there were no women he liked in this bar, Lin Feng sighed in resignation, signed his tab, and prepared to leave.

However, just then, a sexy figure flashed by the bar entrance and quickly walked in. Her stunning figure, barely contained by a simple nightclub dress, nearly sucked Lin Feng's eyes out. And then, he saw her face—flawless skin, a charming smile.

It was Wu Mei!

Lin Feng had never known Wu Mei's allure could be this potent. A single, casual glance from her stirred the deepest wells of longing within him.

Wu Mei walked into the bar. After a brief search, she spotted Lin Feng, a smile gracing her lips as she walked straight towards him. She settled onto a high stool right next to Lin Feng, turned her head, and chuckled charmingly, "Hiding here drinking away your sorrows? Feeling down?"

"Mhm!" Lin Feng nodded, his gaze shamelessly sweeping over Wu Mei's deep cleavage. He was already drunk and lightheaded, desperately needing a woman to satisfy his urges. The moment Wu Mei sat beside him, Lin Feng felt the wicked fire within him surge.

Wu Mei noticed Lin Feng's aggressive gaze but didn't seem to mind at all. She continued to smile faintly and said, "Drinking alone is no fun. Let me have a drink with you!"

Lin Feng nodded and turned to the bartender behind the counter. "Four more beers!"

"Right away, sir!" The young bartender quickly opened four bottles of beer, placed them before Lin Feng, and said politely, "Please, enjoy!"

When the bartender's gaze inadvertently swept over Wu Mei and then back to Lin Feng, his eyes filled with envy. Such an absolute beauty is truly rare, he thought. This guy is so lucky to meet such a stunner... His luck is really something...

"Just beer?" Wu Mei looked at the beer before her, clearly taken aback for a moment. She apparently hadn't expected Lin Feng to offer her beer. In a bar, beer was considered more of a soft drink than real alcohol. However, Wu Mei only paused briefly before smiling, picking up a bottle, and taking a delicate sip. Her red lips parted slightly, the movement utterly captivating.

"Beer's good... I like it..." Lin Feng slurred with a laugh, his eyes fixed on Wu Mei. He then asked casually, "Why are you dressed so revealingly... There are a lot of bad guys on this ship..."

"What's there to fear? Don't I have you to protect me?" Wu Mei chuckled, gently stroking Lin Feng's slightly warm forehead as she spoke softly.

"I'm... a bad guy too..." Lin Feng chuckled, speaking nonchalantly.

"I know... You're very bad!" Wu Mei said with a smile. "But women love a bad boy. It's good for you to be a little bad..."

"Does that mean you've fallen for me?" Lin Feng continued to joke, his gaze somewhat hazy as he looked at Wu Mei.

"Pretty much..." Wu Mei nodded, smiling encouragingly at Lin Feng. "Try just a little bit harder, and you'll make me fall in love with you..."

"Still not enough...? How about we go buy more jewelry? There's a shopping mall on the ship too!" Lin Feng chuckled, taking Wu Mei's hand and gently stroking it.

Having her hand held by Lin Feng made Wu Mei look a bit unnatural. But for some reason, she didn't pull away, allowing Lin Feng to gently caress her delicate hand.

"Jewelry is something you have to give me sincerely... Buying it so casually just ruins the surprise!" Wu Mei said faintly, gently touching the dazzling Desert Star necklace around her neck.

"Women are so hard to please..." Lin Feng suddenly grumbled. He thought of Xue Qingyi. Back when this handsome fellow didn't want to harm you, you were always throwing yourself at me. Now that I want to acknowledge you, you hesitate for so long... Are you being unreasonable?

"Heh heh... Looks like a woman hurt you!" Wu Mei chuckled, leaning close to Lin Feng's ear and whispering, "Don't you still have me? Why bother with other women? Tell me, who made you unhappy? I'll go settle the score with her for you!"

Before Lin Feng could speak, he heard another woman's voice from not far behind him.

"I'm the one who made him unhappy. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Lin Feng turned his head and saw Xue Qingyi staring at Wu Mei, her expression indifferent, her tone cool as she asked.
