"Damn it!"

As Zhang Chao, a wicked smile on his face, walked toward the terrified Su Qing and Su Zhiyun, he suddenly noticed the sounds of fighting behind him had stopped.

He hastily turned to look back, only to see Qin Xuan standing behind him, holding a bloody, broken wooden pole and staring at him viciously.

"Get lost!"

Qin Xuan barked coldly, his right foot lashing out and kicking Zhang Chao in the stomach.

"Aargh..."

The kick sent Zhang Chao flying backward through the air, his stomach feeling as if it had been slammed by a truck. An inhuman agony tore through him, as if his organs were about to burst, and the pain made him see stars.

With a splash, Zhang Chao crashed into the sea.

"Brother Ying, help! Save me..."

Survival instinct took over. Ignoring the piercing pain in his gut, Zhang Chao struggled desperately in the water while frantically calling out to Chen Daying for help.

"Uh..."

Meanwhile, Chen Daying saw Qin Xuan take out his eight underlings in the blink of an eye and kick Zhang Chao more than ten meters into the sea.

A veteran of street brawls, Chen Daying knew exactly how terrifying Qin Xuan's strength was. Terrified, he turned and bolted for the small raft nearby.

Just as Chen Daying jumped onto the small raft, he felt one corner sink. Qin Xuan was standing on it, watching him with cold eyes.

"Bro... Brother!"

"Zhang Chao tricked me into coming here! We're all from Hua Country, please be merciful and spare my life."

"This box... I fished it out of the water yesterday. I don't have a key to open it, but just by looking at it, you can tell it's a real treasure."

"I'll give it to you. Please, just let me go..."

Terrified by Qin Xuan's glacial gaze, Chen Daying stumbled back several steps.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hastily pushed an iron box—half a meter in length, width, and height, and pulsing with a red glow—toward Qin Xuan.

Gazing at the red iron box, which radiated waves of intense heat, a grave look flickered in Qin Xuan's eyes.

For some reason, despite his current level of strength, his first glance at the red iron box sent a shiver of dread down his spine.

Qin Xuan was certain that whatever was inside this red box was anything but simple.

"Die!"

Seeing Qin Xuan mesmerized by the red box, a murderous glint flashed in Chen Daying's eyes. He drew the short blade tucked at his waist, lunged forward, and swung it viciously at Qin Xuan's neck.

Qin Xuan's left fist shot out, striking Chen Daying squarely on his sturdy sternum.

"Crack..."

The powerful fist sank deep into Chen Daying's chest. The force of the blow shattered his bones, blasted clean through his back, and ripped his shirt to shreds.

"Ugh!"

"Cough, cough..."

His body bent like a shrimp, Chen Daying collapsed weakly to his knees at Qin Xuan's feet, choking up mouthfuls of blood.

Qin Xuan's right leg swept out, kicking Chen Daying in the neck and sending his burly frame flying into the sea.

Qin Xuan paid no mind to Chen Daying, who plunged into the sea without another sound. He casually picked up the fallen short blade and tucked it into the back of his belt.

He reached out, grabbed the large, glowing red iron box, and tried to store it in his Spirit Space.

"Whoosh..."

The moment he activated the Spirit Space, the glow from the red iron box flared violently, neutralizing the spatial storage ability.

At the same time, a searing pain, as if his sea of consciousness was being scorched by a flow of fire, caused Qin Xuan to collapse onto the raft and pass out on the spot.

"Little Xuan!"

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

Seeing Qin Xuan collapse, Su Qing, who had been trembling in fear, rushed forward and grabbed the small raft before it could drift away.

"Senior Qin!"

Su Zhiyun, snapping back to her senses, hurried over to help hold onto the raft Qin Xuan was on.

The two of them wanted to pull the small raft onto their larger one, but they lacked the strength. All they could do was hold on with all their might, keeping Qin Xuan from drifting away.

They knew better than anyone that if they were separated from Qin Xuan, they would either starve to death or be captured by men like Chen Daying. The consequences were unthinkable.

"Ugh..."

After a good ten minutes, Qin Xuan's consciousness slowly returned. His head felt like it was being pierced by countless needles, and the pain made his whole body tremble.

"Little Xuan, are you okay?"

"Senior Qin, are you all right?"

The mother and daughter, nearly exhausted, saw Qin Xuan stir. A flicker of excitement appeared in their eyes as they called out to him softly.

Their voices were filled with relieved excitement.

"I'm fine!"

After a few minutes, the stabbing pain in his head subsided, and Qin Xuan pushed himself to his feet. He glanced at the two women, who were still gripping the raft so tightly that they hadn't even noticed their bras were exposed.

At that moment, Qin Xuan was in no mood to take advantage of them. After a moment's hesitation, he decided he couldn't bear to abandon the strange red box. He grabbed it by the handle and leaped back onto the large raft.

"Hah..."

The two women let go of the raft at the same time, collapsing in exhaustion at the edge of their own raft, panting heavily.

Qin Xuan placed the red iron box at the stern, then carried the exhausted Su Qing to the bow before picking up Su Zhiyun.

"Don't look!"

Held in Qin Xuan's arms, Su Zhiyun's bra with the cute animal print had shifted, revealing her charms. She saw Qin Xuan breathing heavily as he stared at her unrestrained peaks, and she frantically tried to cover herself in embarrassment.

But she found her right hand was pinned against Qin Xuan's chest, and her left arm was held fast in his grip. All she could do was let him shamelessly take advantage of her with his lecherous gaze.

"So fair!"

"And they're pink, too!"

Qin Xuan gulped, teasing her wickedly as he walked. Su Zhiyun's pretty face flushed red all the way to her ears.

If Su Qing weren't watching from the side, he would have definitely had a taste of her exquisite flavor.

For now, he only dared to look. A fool would know how to choose between one satisfying meal now and a lifetime of feasts later.

"Qin Xuan!"

"You're a huge jerk, a big pervert!"

Furious and embarrassed, Su Zhiyun pouted her red lips and glared fiercely at Qin Xuan, but she was afraid Su Qing would hear, so she didn't dare to raise her voice even as she cursed him.

"Your voice is lovely, too!"

"As expected of the beautiful campus belle, voted for by all the male students of Hua University."

Qin Xuan grinned wickedly, and the hand holding her legs gave her firm, slender thigh a gentle squeeze.

He had to have both Su Qing and Su Zhiyun. But they were mother and daughter, so he had to be considerate of their feelings and reputation.

Teasing her like this first, letting her get used to it, was a good opportunity to deepen their bond.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Qin Xuan getting even more brazen, the helpless Su Zhiyun could only glare at him resentfully, letting the big jerk take advantage of her.

"Sigh..."

Seeing her beloved daughter's coquettish pout, Su Qing, as someone with more experience, knew that Su Zhiyun, who already had a very good impression of Qin Xuan, was starting to develop feelings for him.

For a moment, Su Qing's heart was a whirlwind of complex emotions. She and Qin Xuan had already broken a taboo, and she knew he wouldn't stop there.

If Su Zhiyun also got together with Qin Xuan, what would that make the two of them? If word ever got out, how could she ever face anyone again?
