"System, bind with the raft!"

Without any hesitation, Qin Xuan chose to bind the system to the raft beneath his feet.

"System binding with raft... 1%... 35%... 65%... 100%."

"Ding!"

"System binding successful. Commencing raft enhancement..."

In that instant, the raft under Qin Xuan's feet seemed to come alive, widening and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It transformed into a large raft, five meters long and three meters wide, with ends that curved upwards to reduce water resistance, and it was even complete with a sail.

As the raft was being enhanced, a scorching stream of air surged from Qin Xuan's dantian. It coursed rapidly through the meridians in his body, nourishing his flesh, blood, and entire frame.

"Crack... crack..." The sound of bones cracking echoed from within his body.

Qin Xuan's originally tall and slender frame transformed as his bones grew thicker and his muscles began to bulge.

Beads of black, foul-smelling filth oozed from the pores all over his body.

With every bead of filth that emerged, Qin Xuan felt his body become a fraction lighter and his inner strength grow.

Qin Xuan felt as if he had boundless energy, and his body was exceptionally light.

"Swoosh..."

After the raft's enhancement reached 100%, a light flashed in Qin Xuan's mind. A 1000-square-meter personal space appeared in his mind's eye, along with his own data panel.

With the system fully bound, an unconcealable excitement flashed in Qin Xuan's eyes as he casually pulled up his own attribute panel.

"Qin... Qin Xuan, what is this..."

The drenched mother-daughter pair, Su Qing and Su Zhiyun, stared with wide, beautiful eyes, their faces filled with horror at the large raft beneath their feet, which was now much bigger and no longer tossed about as violently as before.

But when they saw Qin Xuan, whose body had swelled up like an inflating balloon, transforming from his previous lanky build to his current muscular form that was about to burst his T-shirt, they were so frightened they stumbled back a few steps, looking at him as if he were a monster.

"Holy crap!"

Qin Xuan's gaze fell on Su Zhiyun's casual homewear. Soaked through, it clung to her body, perfectly showcasing her curvaceous, youthful, and vibrant figure.

Su Qing's bright white shirt was plastered to her skin, faintly outlining the ample, firm curves wrapped in black lace.

Below her collar, the bottomless, snow-white cleavage seemed to possess an infinite charm, making it impossible for one to look away.

"Miss Su, Zhiyun, don't be afraid."

"I'm actually an ancient martial arts master. Before, because we lived in a society governed by law, it wasn't convenient for me to reveal it."

"Now that it's a matter of survival, I have no more reservations."

Seeing the terror in their eyes, Qin Xuan quickly reassured them.

"Phew..."

"You scared the daylights out of me. I thought you had mutated or something."

Su Zhiyun patted her ample chest with a pale hand, a look of relief on her face.

It had to be said, at 1.9 meters tall, Qin Xuan had always been tall and handsome, just a bit on the skinny side. Now that his physique had become so robust and heroic, she felt a strange stirring in her heart.

(The protagonist's handsomeness is second only to all you handsome readers in front of the screen.)

(I've said my piece. Who agrees? Who objects?)

"Little Xuan, as long as you're okay!"

Seeing that Qin Xuan really seemed fine and was still speaking politely, Su Qing felt a little more at ease.

However, she knew in her heart that Qin Xuan wasn't telling the truth.

Although she didn't understand ancient martial arts, she knew that unless it was immortal or demonic magic, no martial arts master could turn such a small raft into this large one.

"Miss Su, Zhiyun."

"Those two have been following us like persistent ghosts. They're definitely up to no good. I'll go take care of them."

"You should take off your wet clothes and let them dry. It must be uncomfortable having them stick to you."

Qin Xuan glanced at the mother and daughter, took a deep breath, and slid off the side of the raft into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

"What the hell!"

"Do they know some kind of sorcery?"

Staring at Qin Xuan's raft, which had suddenly grown much larger and now had a mast and sail, a glint of greed rose in the eyes of Zhang Chao and the other man, who had already drifted more than twenty meters away.

"Old Zhang!"

"That kid dived into the sea and hasn't come back up. He's probably coming for us. We should get out of here."

Although he coveted Qin Xuan's large raft and the beautiful older and younger women on it, the thought of their strange abilities made his fear overwhelm his greed at this moment.

"Go!"

"You paddle, I'll keep an eye on him!"

Zhang Chao was already wary of Qin Xuan. After what Jiang Qinfen said, he didn't dare to linger and hurriedly tossed the paddle to Jiang Qinfen.

"Mommy?"

"Should we... take them off to dry? This is really uncomfortable."

Seeing that Qin Xuan was gone and Jiang Qinfen was paddling furiously with his back to them, moving farther and farther away, Su Zhiyun couldn't help but look at Su Qing.

The seawater-soaked clothes were fishy and damp, and when the sea breeze blew, the feeling of them sticking to her skin was indescribably awful.

"Mmm."

"Let's take them off. We can spread them out to dry. I'll use my clothes to cover you."

Su Qing nodded.

She could endure the discomfort of her wet clothes. What troubled her most now was how she would get along with Qin Xuan in the future.

This wasn't a vacation; they might be on this raft forever, constantly facing threats from other survivors.

She and her daughter couldn't survive without Qin Xuan's protection. Living together day and night, a virile young man like him would surely develop wicked intentions toward them over time.

Rather than waiting for Qin Xuan to violently assault them both, it would be better for her to submit willingly. At least then, she could protect her beloved daughter.

"Ahhh—"

Just as Su Qing had taken off her clothes and was holding them up to shield Su Zhiyun's exposed body, a blood-curdling scream came from the distant raft.

They saw Jiang Qinfen, who was paddling, get dragged into the sea, paddle and all, by Qin Xuan, who then snapped his neck.

Just as Qin Xuan grabbed the paddle and surfaced from the sea, Zhang Chao, still on the raft, didn't hesitate for a second. He kicked off his shoes and leaped into the water on the other side.

"Lucky for you, you're fast!"

Seeing Zhang Chao jump into the sea to flee for his life, Qin Xuan wasn't foolish enough to chase him. In this endless ocean, as long as Zhang Chao didn't turn into a fish, he was as good as dead without a raft.

"Holy shit..."

Just as Qin Xuan picked up the paddle, preparing to row the raft toward Su Qing and Su Zhiyun's large raft, the snow-white scenery on the large raft nearly blinded his titanium-grade eyes.

His body had been modified by the system. Not only was his physical strength several times greater than before, but his vision had also improved dramatically. Even from dozens of meters away, he could clearly see the patterns on the black lace.

He saw Su Qing wearing a set of black, semi-sheer, three-point lace lingerie. It barely covered half of her ample, perky, snow-white peaks, while her pale, shapely buttocks were completely exposed.

The alluring charm of a mature woman and her skin, as white as fresh snow, were on full display.

Su Zhiyun, on the other hand, wore a pink three-point set with cute animal prints. Although not as grand in scale as Su Qing's, she was still impressively developed for her age.

Below their long, slender legs were their pale, delicate feet with red-painted toenails, looking tender and cute, sparking one's imagination.
