"Aren't you going to chase after her?" A hint of a smile finally touched Xue Qingyi's lips, her eyes curving as she watched Lin Feng.

"If I went after her, would you be unhappy?" Lin Feng looked at Xue Qingyi and asked helplessly.

"Of course, I would be unhappy... Any woman would be unhappy about such a thing! Don't forget, I'm a woman too..." Xue Qingyi said gravely to Lin Feng, her tone tinged with a hint of melancholy. After all, Lin Feng, the White Wolf King, had always treated her like a little sister...

Lin Feng's expression turned awkward. He, of course, understood Xue Qingyi's underlying message. The young lady had indeed grown up...

Calculating the years, Xue Qingyi would be turning twenty next year. According to the laws of China, she was old enough to marry and no longer a child—not just in age, but her figure too... As Lin Feng took a quick glance at Xue Qingyi, a small smile tugged at his lips. She was definitely no longer a child... If this were several decades ago in China, she might have already been a mother of two by her age...

"I'm a little worried about Wu Mei. No one on this ship is a saint. I'm afraid something might happen to her!" Lin Feng said honestly, looking into Xue Qingyi's eyes.

With the straightforward Xue Qingyi, it was better to be open and honest than evasive.

"I'll have Zhou Yang protect her discreetly..." Xue Qingyi, showing no sign of blaming Lin Feng, took out her phone and sent Zhou Yang a message.

"Zhou Yang..." Lin Feng curled his lip. That guy is pretty dense. If he's asked to protect someone, he might even lose them.

"Oh, so you're worried about her now? If you're that concerned, you can go find her yourself..." Xue Qingyi said with a faint, clearly insincere smile.

"No, I was just wondering, does Zhou Yang still not trust me?" Lin Feng knew Xue Qingyi was being sarcastic, so he explained casually. However, remembering Zhou Yang's recent attitude—treating him almost like an enemy—made him feel a bit irked. That kid has really grown some nerve!

"These things take time..." Xue Qingyi murmured. "Even I am still slowly adjusting..."

Lin Feng gave a bitter smile and took a sip of beer. The Xue Qingyi of now probably still has her guard up against me too!

"I don't like this place. Let's go out for a walk..." As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the small bar grew increasingly chaotic. Some lecherous male patrons were already brazenly groping the scantily clad dancers, laughing and teasing each other. The scene was rather foul...

Seeing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel irritated. A normal cruise wouldn't be like this. However, this entire ship was chartered by the Qingzi Sect, and it was filled with underworld figures, every one of them wild and unrestrained.

This bar is definitely not a place to stay any longer. Something involving public debauchery might happen at any moment!

"Let's take a walk around the ship!" Lin Feng signed the bill and started to leave with Xue Qingyi.

Just then, three burly men walked into the bar, talking and laughing loudly.

"Alright, brothers, now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time for some fun! A'nan from the Qingzi Sect said this bar on the ship lacks everything *but* women. I wonder if he was bullshitting..."

"HAHA! Whether A'nan was exaggerating or not, we're about to find out! I hear the women on this ship are pretty expensive, right?"

"Expensive or not depends on the service... If they serve me well and make me happy, we brothers of the Sky Wolf Gang aren't poor devils. But if they piss me off, what can they do if I don't give them a dime? I don't believe all the women on this ship are kept by the Qingzi Sect. Would the Qingzi Sect really stick up for these broads?"

"Brother Xiao Lang, you're kidding, right? Skipping out on payment like that isn't good. It's bad for your rep, and you might get unlucky next time if word gets out..."

"Bullshit! Are you fucking cursing me?"

...

Hearing the men's coarse conversation, Xue Qingyi frowned slightly. Although she was an elite member of the White Wolf Squad and had her share of blood on her hands, she was still as innocent as a blank sheet of paper when it came to matters between men and women. Upon hearing these crude men's vulgar talk, she felt a wave of discomfort and quickened her pace, wanting to leave this foul place.

Just then, the man called Xiao Lang, who had just entered the bar, suddenly fixed his gaze on Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi as they were about to leave. He stretched out a large hand, planting it on the doorframe and blocking their path. A lewd grin spread across his face. "Hey, you two, hold on! This chick is pretty hot! Nice face, good aura. How much for a night?"

Xiao Lang's words made Xue Qingyi's face turn pale instantly, and a murderous glint flickered in her eyes. This crude man actually thinks I'm a prostitute?

Xue Qingyi didn't respond. Her right index and middle fingers parted slightly, revealing the dark tip of a tiny, inconspicuous silver needle...

This was Xue Qingyi's Linglong Poison Needle. The concoction of toxins coating it could knock out an elephant in minutes. Stabbed into a person's vital acupoints, it could silently kill even a strong man.

Yes, Xue Qingyi was ready to kill...

Lin Feng, noticing Xue Qingyi's subtle movement, was startled. This girl is still so unworldly, ready to kill at the drop of a hat...

"Don't be rash," Lin Feng whispered, pulling Xue Qingyi's sleeve. "Just ignore him."

Startled by Lin Feng tugging her sleeve, Xue Qingyi paused, a flicker of surprise on her face. She gave Lin Feng a complex look, then finally nodded and put the poison needle away.

"HEY! You two dare to ignore me? Do you even know who I am?" Seeing Lin Feng and Xue Qingyi exchange a look and then ignore him, Xiao Lang grew irritated and shouted, "Even people from the Qingzi Sect wouldn't dare disrespect me and my brothers from the Sky Wolf Gang! Who the hell do you two think you are, ignoring me?!"

Lin Feng looked up and stared coldly at the oblivious Xiao Lang. Noticing Xiao Lang's slightly bloodshot eyes and the strong reek of alcohol on his breath, Lin Feng figured he was drunk and decided not to escalate things.

"Move aside and let us pass, and we'll let this matter drop," Lin Feng said calmly to Xiao Lang.

"HAHA! Little Zhong, Little Cheng, did you hear that? This fucking kid actually dared to tell *me*, your old man, to make way for him! You think he's got a death wish?" Xiao Lang didn't move aside. Instead, he burst out laughing and turned to taunt his two companions.

"Hmph, Brother Xiao Lang, this kid seems to have a screw loose! He dares to ignore your words and even tells you to make way... He's really tired of living!"

"Heh heh, Brother Xiao Lang, why don't we 'loosen his bones' for him first? Let him experience our Sky Wolf Gang's special 'bone-loosening' technique, then we can talk!"

The two men behind Xiao Lang chuckled coldly, their eyes greedily fixed on Xue Qingyi as they verbally jabbed at Lin Feng with sharp sarcasm.

"Kid, did you hear that? You still dare tell me to make way?" Xiao Lang sneered at Lin Feng, his voice dripping with arrogance.

"Let me tell you, *I* am the deputy sect leader of the Sky Wolf Gang's Nansha City branch! Even Long Shaotian wouldn't dare speak to me so arrogantly! Who the hell do you think you are?"
