112: Chapter 112 Have a pleasant voyage

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

One after another, the kowtows landed, accompanied by the duo's slurred, humiliating, and terrified pleas, "Master Qi... I was wrong..."

The wooden boat swayed gently with the ocean waves, each kowtow accompanied by the dull thud of the deck and the suppressed groans of pain from the two.

Qi Yun just watched quietly, his face devoid of expression, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied.

Old Zhou, while holding Zhang Meng down to kowtow, stole glances at Qi Yun's face.

Seeing that the Great Expert still wore that noncommittal look, his heart skipped a beat.

Was this not enough? Was the Great Expert still not satisfied?

His mind raced. His gaze swept over Zhang Meng and Liu Kun, who were kneeling on the ground with swollen faces, bruised foreheads, and eyes filled with humiliation and fear, then glanced at his companions nearby.

A thought suddenly darted into his mind.

Although it was a bit... but it was for the sake of survival! Besides, maybe the Great Expert enjoyed watching this?

Gritting his teeth, he suddenly raised his head, squeezed an obsequious smile onto his face towards Qi Yun on the deck, and said loudly:

"Great Expert Qi Yun! Just kowtowing is too good for these two clueless idiots!"

"I think the two of them are 'quite close,' they were singing the same tune when they were insulting you earlier..."

A strange expression, mixed with ruthlessness and mischief, appeared on Old Zhou's face as he said word by word:

"Why don't I have my men pin them down, mouth-to-mouth! To help you vent your anger, what do you think?"

"Bloody Romance"

"What?!"

"Mouth-to-mouth?!"

As soon as Old Zhou finished speaking, not only did Zhang Meng and Liu Kun suddenly lift their heads, their faces drained of all color, their eyes filled with extreme horror and absurdity, but even the others on their boat who were holding them down were stunned, their grip loosening involuntarily.

On the deck, the girls of the 01 Tribe also showed expressions of astonishment, then couldn't help but chuckle, feeling it was a bit too stimulating.

Qi Yun also raised an eyebrow, clearly not expecting Old Zhou to be this "clever." This idea was truly malicious.

However, looking at the expressions of Zhang Meng and Liu Kun, who seemed to have had the sky collapse on them, and then looking at Old Zhou's desperate attempt to please him...

It seemed, quite interesting?

"No... don't! Old Zhou! Are you fucking crazy?!"

"Let me go! I'd rather die than do this!!"

"Brother Qi Yun! Master Qi! We were wrong! We were really wrong! Please, change the method! Anything else is fine! Don't do this!!"

"Xiao Lin! Xiao Lin, say something for us! Qi Yun, come to think of it, we're classmates too!!"

Zhang Meng and Liu Kun were completely panicked, terrified out of their wits, struggling desperately, crying and begging for mercy.

To have them, two hot-blooded, self-proclaimed tough guys who were sports students, forced to go mouth-to-mouth in front of so many people, especially in front of Chen Xiaolin?!

This was worse than killing them! This was practically mental castration and a public execution!

"Classmates? You know we're classmates now? What were you thinking when you were cursing the Great Expert earlier?" Old Zhou's heart was as hard as iron at this moment; to survive, he would do anything.

He waved his hand and said sternly: "What are you still standing there for? Pin them down! Do as I say!"

The men on the boat came back to their senses. Seeing Old Zhou's fierce glare and glancing at the unreadable Qi Yun on the deck above, they gritted their teeth and lunged again, this time with all their might, pinning Zhang Meng and Liu Kun's arms behind their backs, forcing their faces together, unable to move.

"No—!!!"

"Help!!!"

"I don't want to! Get away! Ah!!"

The two's screams and curses echoed across the sea, filled with despair.

People on the surrounding wooden boats watched in a daze. Some showed expressions of unbearable pity, but more were numb as if it were none of their business, and some were even excited to watch the show.

"Hurry!" urged Old Zhou.

The two men holding Zhang Meng and Liu Kun's heads looked at each other, strange expressions on their faces, but their hands showed no mercy, forcefully pushing the two's heads toward each other's faces!

"Ugh—!!!"

"Ugh—!!!"

Under the gaze of countless eyes, amidst the desperate whimpers and retching of Zhang Meng and Liu Kun themselves, two male faces, twisted with fear and humiliation, stained with blood and cold sweat, were pressed heavily together.

Lips forced into close contact.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

The sea breeze moaned, the waves lapped gently.

This scene, absurd, humiliating, and carrying a certain cruel dark humor, was deeply etched into the minds of every witness.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh!!!"

"Ugh—!!!"

A few seconds later, when the hands holding their heads were released, Zhang Meng and Liu Kun immediately recoiled as if electrocuted, then simultaneously leaned over the side of the boat, retching violently, as if they wanted to vomit their internal organs out, their faces covered in tears and snot, mixed with blood, looking miserable to the extreme.

"Hahahaha!"

"Holy shit, they actually kissed!"

"You guys are truly ruthless!"

Uncontrollable laughter came from the surrounding wooden boats.

As for the wooden boat where Zhang Meng and Liu Kun were, the others had complex expressions—some sympathy, some relief, but mostly a sense of exhaustion from surviving a disaster.

Old Zhou nervously looked up at the cruise ship deck.

On the deck, Qi Yun looked at the miserable, retching duo below and finally, slowly, revealed a faint smile.

He raised his hand and waved it casually.

The massive ship hull emitted a low hum, the bow slowly straightened, then the engine roar increased, and it began to elegantly change direction, ignoring the small wooden boat, and sailed away, breaking through the waves.

Not until the silver-white ship's silhouette gradually shrank and finally disappeared at the horizon did Old Zhou and everyone on the wooden boat feel as if all their strength had been drained, completely collapsing on the deck, gasping for air, as if they had just crawled back from the gates of hell.

Old Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking at Zhang Meng and Liu Kun, who were still retching uncontrollably, their eyes hollow as if they had lost their souls, and let out a long, long sigh of relief.

Survived.

As for dignity? What was that? In front of a steel giant ship that could crush you, it was worthless.
