38: Chapter 38 Sophia's Figure

"Lin..." Sophia whispered.

Chen Xiaolin looked at her.

"I... Can I... take a bath?"

Sophia bit her lip.

Anna and Katya also looked up, their eyes filled with longing.

Chen Xiaolin was stunned for a moment, then said readily:

"Want to take a bath? No problem! But I have to ask the Tribe Leader first; that's the rule."

As she said this, she ran toward Qi Yun.

Sophia watched nervously.

She saw Chen Xiaolin and Qi Yun whispering a few words, and Qi Yun looked up in their direction.

Qi Yun nodded and said something to Chen Xiaolin.

Chen Xiaolin ran back happily:

"The Tribe Leader agreed! But he said that for safety reasons, he needs to be present and watching while you bathe."

Qi Yun proposed the idea of observing.

It was not just because he wanted to see the "Ice Queen's" physique.

It was also to better inspect their bodies to ensure they hadn't been left with any marks.

"He's just watching, he won't do anything, and I'll be there too."

Chen Xiaolin added to put them at ease.

Sophia, Anna, and Katya looked at each other.

They all saw the struggle in each other's eyes.

The temptation of a bath was too great. To be able to wash away the dirt and exhaustion, to be like a human being again.

But to bathe in front of a strange man...

However, they had just been staring unblinkingly at Qi Yun bathing.

Now, even if he asked to watch them, they shouldn't refuse, especially since they were outsiders.

"I... I'll go first."

Sophia took a deep breath and made her decision.

Since she had chosen to trust this Tribe and chosen to rely on Qi Yun, she had to accept their rules.

Moreover, from her observations just now, Qi Yun really didn't seem like that kind of person.

Sophia took off her animal skin.

Her body glowed with an ivory luster, a skin tone resulting from years of indoor ice training, having almost never seen the sun.

Her shoulder and neck lines were smooth and graceful, and her collarbones were exquisite and distinct.

The muscle lines on her back were clearly visible.

That was the beauty unique to figure skaters, possessing both strength and flexibility.

She could hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

Sophia bit her lip and continued to take off the animal skin wrapping her lower body.

Her long, straight legs were exposed under the firelight.

That was the part she was most proud of; the muscle lines were smooth and firm, and the contours of her knees and ankles were beautiful.

The moment the hot water touched her body, Sophia almost sighed in comfort.

The water temperature was just right, not scalding, but warm enough.

She let the hot water flow over her body.

The dirt and fatigue seemed to melt away with the hot water at this moment.

She washed very carefully and earnestly.

But in the process, Sophia's thoughts drifted away.

She remembered the scene she had just seen.

When Qi Yun bathed, those girls watched calmly, and Qi Yun didn't care at all.

She thought of Qi Yun's body, the solid muscle lines.

Sophia's cheeks felt slightly hot.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen a man's body before, but Qi Yun was different.

His body had a kind of... primitive beauty, incomparable to the muscles trained in a gym.

Sophia unconsciously straightened her back, letting the water slide down her spine.

Her body relaxed in the hot water, her skin turning a faint pink from the temperature and scrubbing.

She even, though very slightly, adjusted her standing posture to make her body curves more obvious in the hot water.

This thought surprised even herself.

But soon, she accepted it calmly.

Since he could look, why couldn't she... show off a little?

After all, she was very confident in her physique.

As a world-class figure skater, her body had undergone years of strict training and diet control.

Every inch of muscle was just right, and every curve had been tempered.

And... since those girls could calmly watch Qi Yun, why couldn't she enjoy the feeling of being watched by Qi Yun?

Sophia finished washing her body and began to clean her long hair.

The water flowed down her neck, shoulders, and spine.

She could feel Qi Yun's gaze lingering on her.

The corners of Sophia's mouth curled up slightly unconsciously.

She finished her bath, dried her body with a towel, and then changed into the clean animal skin clothes prepared by Chen Xiaolin.

When she stepped out of the bathtub, her silver-white long hair was draped wet over her shoulders, with water droplets dripping from the tips.

Her skin looked exceptionally fair and translucent from the soaking and careful cleaning, and her cheeks still held a flush from the bath.

Qi Yun secretly sighed; she was truly worthy of being the Ice Queen, this body was absolutely stunning.

In some sense, Sophia's body could rival Shu Qianxue's!

Seeing Sophia finish washing safely, Anna and Katya also felt relieved.

Anna, with her natural light-gold hair, took a deep breath and stood up.

She was half a head shorter than Sophia, her figure slightly petite, and she began to take off her animal skin coat.

Anna's body presented a different kind of beauty; her waist was extremely thin, but her body lines were clear and looked very soft.

Her legs weren't long, but the proportions were excellent, her thigh and calf muscles were full and firm, and her ankles were slender.

Katya was the last one.

She was taller than Anna, and her figure was closer to a standard gymnast's build—symmetrical, soft, and powerful.

Her dark red long hair glowed with a deep red luster under the firelight, draped over her shoulders.

When Katya undressed, Qi Yun noticed her movements were more open than Anna's.

Her figure was a perfect combination of strength and flexibility.

A slender waist, well-developed glutes and thigh muscles, and beautifully contoured calves.

Qi Yun watched, quickly evaluating their physiques in his mind:

Qi Yun had to admit, it was indeed a feast for the eyes.

As athletes, their bodies had been tempered, every curve was just right, without an ounce of excess fat, and the muscle lines were smooth and graceful.

Sophia's elegance and length, Anna's petite power, Katya's symmetry.

...

At another camp.

Andrei and his five cronies sat around a campfire.

"Damn it, let those three bitches run away!" A bald man poured a large gulp of alcohol and cursed.

"Let them run if they want."

"Three fewer mouths to feed, we'll have it easier."

Another thin man replied in a low voice.

"That chick Sophia... so beautiful. And Anna and Katya too."

"They're all top-tier goods. The three prettiest in our Tribe."

"I was planning to make a move on them tonight."

The bald man's tone was full of unwillingness.

Andrei narrowed his eyes, looking at the two.

"Aren't there still nine here?"

His gaze swept toward the girls on the side, a greedy light flashing in his eyes.

After Andrei spoke, the two fell silent.

They didn't want to provoke this madman now.

"But if I find out which Tribe took them in, I'll make them pay."

After saying this, Andrei threw the beer bottle in his hand aside, and the bottle shattered on the ground.

At this moment, Sophie raised her hand.

Andrei looked at her, signaling her to speak.

"I might know where they went? They invited me, but I didn't go."

Sophie's voice trembled slightly, but her treatment was much better than the other girls.

Because she had been currying favor with Andrei.

The bald man and the thin man looked up at the same time, a sharp glint flashing in their eyes.

"Which Tribe?" Andrei interrupted her, leaning forward slightly.

"0... 01 Tribe."

Sophie tried hard to recall what Sophia had said.

"Qi Yun."

Andrei repeated the name, his fingers tapping lightly on his knee.
