(A notice to all my dear readers: this part of the plot has been quite controversial, so the author would like to briefly explain.)

(The two female leads are girls who had never even killed a chicken before. They were transported to the Different Sea only a day ago.)

(It's impossible for them to be cold-blooded and ruthlessly decisive right away. The author had to arrange for them to learn a lesson so they would become truly fearful and cautious.)

(This serves as a plot device to set up their future reluctance to trust others easily. I hope my dear readers can understand!)

(It's not easy for the author to write late into the night after work. I'm not asking for donations or good reviews, just please go easy on the criticism. I would be incredibly grateful!)

...

"Stop!"

"Come any closer, and don't blame me for what happens next!"

Seeing the beautiful girl's raft deliberately paddling toward him, Qin Xuan drew the short blade from his waist and shouted coldly from over ten meters away.

"Big Brother, Big Sister!"

"Please, save me! They killed my boyfriend and my classmate, and now they want to... to me..."

"*Sob*... Please, be kind and save me."

"I've awakened a life-skill type ability. I'll be your servant, I'll do anything, please just save me..."

Seeing Qin Xuan's cold and stern expression, the beautiful girl was so frightened she immediately stopped paddling, letting the waves push her toward Qin Xuan's large raft.

Tears streamed from her big, beautiful eyes, and her panicked, anxious gaze darted back toward the pursuing rafts from time to time.

"Little Xuan!"

"Why don't we let her come aboard for a bit? With her, there'll be four of us Survivors. Those men might not dare to attack."

Seeing the girl's tearful, pitiful appearance, Su Qing's heart filled with pity.

She felt as if she saw a shadow of Little Yun in the young girl before her.

"Hurry, come over here!"

Before Qin Xuan could speak, Su Zhiyun was already waving and calling out urgently to the girl.

"Sister Qing, Little Yun!"

"This isn't the lawful society we used to live in. You can't know what's in a person's heart. I suggest we adjust the sail and leave now, before those people get here," Qin Xuan said seriously.

This girl asking for help had awakened such a powerful ability. She didn't seem like someone who would let herself be slaughtered at will.

Based on this alone, there was no way she was someone who had been cornered with no way out, desperately crying for help.

"Qin Xuan!"

"I know what you're worried about, but she's just a girl. If we don't help her, she'll really die."

"Why don't we just rescue her first? With the four of us together, those men definitely won't dare to make a move so easily."

"Once they're gone, we'll make her leave right away."

"Okay?"

Su Zhiyun's beautiful eyes were filled with pity, and she looked at Qin Xuan with a pleading gaze.

After the cautionary tales of Chen Daying and Zhang Chao, she wouldn't have even considered a normal request for help.

But this girl was all alone, being chased by so many men. It was just too dangerous.

She and her mother were lucky to have been matched with Qin Xuan, which is why they had this peace now.

If they had been unlucky and matched with someone else, they might have suffered the same fate as the girl before them.

"Little Xuan!"

"Let's help her. Once those men leave, we'll have her go immediately. It should be safe."

Su Qing knew Qin Xuan's caution wasn't baseless, but after living for so many years in a peaceful country like Hua Country, she really couldn't bear to watch this beautiful young girl be harmed right before her eyes.

"Hmph!"

"Fine, just don't regret it!"

Qin Xuan wasn't surprised by their reactions.

They had just come from Hua Country, a place where even brawls were rare. If he didn't have the Demon's Eye and couldn't see the girl's ability, he might have felt a pang of pity himself and offered to help, let alone the kind-hearted Su Qing and Su Zhiyun.

This was actually perfect. He could use this girl's situation to sound a warning bell for the two of them. Letting them suffer a small, controllable loss would make them more cautious in the future.

"Mhm, mhm!"

"We'll make her leave as soon as we chase those men away."

Seeing Qin Xuan relent, Su Zhiyun nodded eagerly, as if afraid he would change his mind. She waved repeatedly at the beautiful girl ahead. "Hurry, come over here! Be careful."

"Th-thank you, two sisters."

Channeling her Spiritual Power, the beautiful girl leaped onto the large raft. Her lovely eyes swept over Qin Xuan. Seeing his cold stare still fixed on her, her eyes reddened slightly, and she put on a pitiful expression.

"You!"

"I'm the captain of this raft, and I don't support freeloaders. What's your ability?"

Qin Xuan shielded his body with his Spiritual Power, looking extremely displeased as he stared intently at the beautiful girl.

"Big Brother!"

"My name is Cui Mingyan. I've awakened a Fishing ability. In an environment like the sea, I definitely won't hold you back," Cui Mingyan replied hurriedly.

"Fishing?"

"Very good. Fishing is indeed very useful in these waters."

The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth lifted slightly, and a cold, fleeting glint that was hard to detect flashed in his eyes.

"Stop!"

"Come any closer, and don't blame us for being impolite!"

Su Qing shielded Su Zhiyun behind her and shouted at the five men on the two rafts, which were now about twenty meters away.

"Hey there, gorgeous!"

"She's my prey. If you don't want trouble, hand her over, and we can mind our own business."

From afar, he gazed at Su Qing, who was wearing only a revealing, semi-transparent, three-point black lace lingerie set. Her figure was slender and tall, her skin as smooth as jade, and her long, wavy hair danced in the wind, exuding an endless allure.

Standing at the head of the small raft, the leader, Lu Wenhao, had an unconcealable fire in his eyes.

Though she looked to be in her thirties, her captivating and graceful charm was enough to make one's heart itch with an unbearable urge to pin her to the ground and ravage her brutally.

"Heh heh..."

"These two beauties, one older and one younger, are truly out of this world. We brothers are really in for a treat."

The other four men holding paddles had wicked smiles on their faces, their eyes burning with lust as they stared at the stunningly beautiful Su Qing, their blood boiling within them.

"Listen up, brothers!"

"When Mingyan succeeds, we rush over, kill that kid first, then cut the hamstrings of those two beauties so they can't escape," Lu Wenhao said in a low voice.

"Understood!" the four replied smugly.

"Hey, handsome!"

"We're all from Hua Country. In a survival game like this, even if we can't help each other, we shouldn't harm others for our own selfish desires."

"The three of us have all awakened A-rank combat abilities. If you don't want to ask for trouble, it's not too late to leave now."

Su Qing's slender brows knitted together. She stared coldly at Lu Wenhao and his four men, her face filled with displeasure.

"Haha..."

"Haha..."

Lu Wenhao and his men, guessing that Cui Mingyan's ability had already taken effect, all burst into loud laughter.

This time, they had really hit the jackpot. Not only would they get such a large, sail-powered raft, but they'd also get two beautiful women, one older and one younger, to go with it.

*Thump!*

Seeing Lu Wenhao's group laughing so brazenly, as if victory was already in their grasp, a bad feeling rose in Su Qing's heart.

"Oh no!"

"Little Yun, Little Qin, be careful..." Su Qing seemed to have realized something and shouted a hurried warning to Su Zhiyun and Qin Xuan.

"Ugh..."

Before she could finish, the world started spinning. Su Qing suddenly felt her legs go weak, and she collapsed onto the raft.

Su Zhiyun and Qin Xuan also collapsed weakly.

"What's happening? Why can't I muster any strength?"

"Was... was it you?"

Collapsed on the raft, a stunned Su Zhiyun stared at Cui Mingyan, who stood before her with a wicked grin. Terror filled her eyes.

"Hee hee..."

"Exactly right. Too bad there's no prize for you."

Cui Mingyan looked at the three people on the raft, her eyes filled with smug satisfaction.

"These two women are all yours."

"That man is the captain. All the supplies are on him. Kill him!"

Cui Mingyan glanced at Lu Wenhao and his four men as they leaped onto the raft, her rosy lips curling into a triumphant smirk.
