254: Chapter 254 Even Assassins Understand Romance

Finishing speaking, Song Ya turned around and ran down the slope.

The slope was very steep. Halfway down, Song Ya's foot slipped, and she tumbled twice on the ground, scraping her arms and calves on the rough stones.

She ignored the pain, got up, and continued rushing downward.

[Writing up to here, I hope readers remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network to solve book shortages, 𝗍𝗐𝗄𝖺𝗇.𝖼𝗈𝗆 is super reliable]

Xu Zhixia stood blankly at the top for a few seconds before snapping back to reality, and she hurriedly ran down after her.

Wang Laoliu lay there waiting for a long time, and confirming that that beast had run far away, he crawled up from the reef.

His first reaction was to turn his head and look toward the sea surface.

The waves were turbulent, constantly crashing against the reef.

At the spot where Lin Fan jumped down, hidden reefs were densely packed, and the seawater was bottomless. Usually, during high tide, you couldn't even see clearly, let alone with the waves being this big right now.

To take ten thousand steps back, even if he wasn't drowned, who knows what was hiding at the bottom of this sea area, and a backflow of the current could smash a person's head open against the sharp reefs.

"Bah." Wang Laoliu muttered curses as he checked his sniper rifle; there wasn't a single bullet left in the chamber.

But he wasn't flustered at all; instead, he grinned widely.

The snake was injured and ran away; it definitely wouldn't dare to come out again in a short time.

The only person who could contend with him jumped into the sea, facing certain death with zero chance of survival.

Now on this island, who else could stop him?

Those women in the rock crevices had long been tamed by him, and that rich second generation surnamed Yang was just a soft persimmon to be pinched at will.

Up in the Karst Cave, there was a large amount of fresh water, food, and who knows how many women hidden away by that brat.

Cradling his gun, he walked toward the center of the beach, preparing to go up the slope to take over his new territory.

Just as he walked halfway, he saw a woman tumbling down in a panic.

Immediately following that, Xu Zhixia also came down.

Wang Laoliu stopped in his tracks, the flesh on his face bunching together as he smiled with a lewd expression all over his face.

"Dr. Xu, it's just right that you came down; hurry up and find me some medicine to bandage it up."

Xu Zhixia glared at him and didn't speak.

Wang Laoliu didn't stop them either; even if that brat wasn't smashed to death, having not come up for such a long time, he must have drowned.

Song Ya stumbled and ran to the reef area where the battle had just taken place.

Everywhere she looked, it was a complete mess.

Broken stones were everywhere, and on the ground was a large puddle of black blood left by the giant python, emitting a nauseating, fishy stench.

Apart from these, there was nothing at all.

"Lin Fan!" Song Ya shouted toward the sea surface.

The sound of the waves drowned out her voice.

"Don't waste your effort." Wang Laoliu walked over leisurely, tapping the stone beside him with the butt of his gun.

"With such big waves, the bottom is full of sharp stones. By now, he probably has kelp stuffed even in the gaps of his bones, and he's long sunk to the bottom to feed the turtles."

Song Ya suddenly turned her head back, glaring at Wang Laoliu with bloodshot eyes.

"You're talking nonsense! He won't die!"

"I saw him jump down with my own eyes, could it be fake?" Wang Laoliu put away his smile, his expression sinking.

He stepped forward two steps, directly blocking in front of Song Ya.

"Alright, when a person dies, the lamp goes out. Now on this island, I call the shots."

Wang Laoliu's gaze scanned unscrupulously over Song Ya and Xu Zhixia.

"Since you two have come down, don't go back up. Go stay in those rock crevices over there and serve me one by one tonight. If you serve me comfortably, the water and food upstairs won't be lacking for you."

Xu Zhixia took a step back, vigilantly staring at the gun in his hand.

But Song Ya was like she had gone crazy, not afraid of Wang Laoliu at all.

She reached out to push Wang Laoliu's chest, "Get lost! A good dog doesn't block the way!"

Wang Laoliu was pushed to stumble, but he didn't get angry.

He lowered his head to glance at the chest that Song Ya had pushed, and when he raised his head again, the lewd smile on his face became even thicker.

He grabbed Song Ya's wrist in one go, with such great force that it made Song Ya cry out in pain.

"Yo, still a thorny little white flower."

Wang Laoliu didn't hit her; he just used the rough thumb of his other hand to rub against her delicate face.

"Rest assured, I haven't played with your type yet; I can't bear to kill you right now."

Finished speaking, he gave a fierce swing, throwing Song Ya down to the ground.

...

The impact force of the fall made Lin Fan sink down several meters, and the sense of suffocation arrived as expected.

Lin Fan frantically paddled his hands and feet, wanting to float to the water surface, but the turbulent undercurrent dragged him firmly downwards.

Just when he felt his lungs were about to explode and his consciousness began to blur.

On his retina, a blue light screen, completely different from the previous scarlet one, suddenly popped up.

[Body function optimization has been completed.]

[Current status: Comprehensive upgrade.]

[Strength, speed, neural response, cardiopulmonary function... have been upgraded to 300% of the conventional human limit.]

[Diving breath-holding limit: 5 minutes and 27 seconds.]

Lin Fan's brain buzzed.

Just now wasn't an illusion, nor was it the system's forced intervention at a critical moment.

That flowing and smooth dodging on the reef, those explosive power and coordination far exceeding ordinary people, were they all his own abilities?

His body had been modified?

The moment this thought flashed through, Lin Fan felt the burning sensation in his lungs miraculously weaken.

He tried stopping his struggle, letting his body float and sink in the undercurrent.

One second, two seconds... ten seconds passed.

There was no suffocation; his heart was still beating steadily and powerfully just like usual.

He whose original underwater breath-holding limit was a little over a minute, now, after such a long time, was still handling it with ease.

Lin Fan tried moving his arms, and an unprecedented sense of power burst out from his biceps.

This was no longer an illusory system prompt, but solid, real power that could be controlled by him.

Lin Fan didn't hesitate anymore, kicking his legs fiercely.

"Splash!"

His entire person broke through the current, rapidly darting toward the sea surface.

Splashes of water flew everywhere.

Lin Fan's head broke through the water surface, hurriedly breathing in a breath of fresh air.

He didn't immediately swim toward the shore, but instead hid behind a huge reef, observing the movement on the shore.

He didn't hear the snake's hiss, but instead heard Wang Laoliu's arrogant declaration.

That snake was beaten to death by Wang Laoliu?

Wang Laoliu no longer paid attention to Song Ya on the ground; his gaze greedily fell on Xu Zhixia.

This woman had been stoking his desires since the very first day they boarded the ship.

She wasn't like other internet celebrity stars who were aloof to the point of being repulsive, nor was she like Xiao Chuan who was flirtatious without the slightest bit of inner substance.

Xu Zhixia possessed a unique temperament—calm, professional, carrying a sense of asceticism unique to intellectuals.

The more it was like this, the more it could arouse a man's most primitive desire for conquest.

Wang Laoliu licked his dry lips and walked toward Xu Zhixia.

"Dr. Xu."

"You're a smart person; that brat is dead, you should know how to choose, right!"

Xu Zhixia didn't speak, just vigilantly looking at him, her body leaning back slightly, maintaining a safe distance.

Wang Laoliu didn't get close, "Rest assured, although I'm an assassin, I also understand romance."

"For someone I like as much as you, I don't hope to use force right from the start."

Wang Laoliu grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellowed teeth.

"To tell you the truth, back on the cruise ship, I already wanted to screw you. Those internet celebrity tender models all fucking taste the same; playing with them too much gets sickeningly boring."

"Only you are different; let alone being an intellectual, you're also a doctor, let alone being a doctor..."

Wang Laoliu stared lewdly at Xu Zhixia's chest, "Let alone being a doctor, and your breasts are still so big..."

"I just want to know, who seeing you wouldn't want to pin this outwardly aloof and reserved woman with big breasts to the ground and tear open your white lab coat..."

"Tsk tsk, that feeling must be really exciting."

"Now, there are only us people on this island. That snake, although it ran away today, will sooner or later come out again."

"From now on, I won't fight it head-on anymore either."

"Anyway, adding the people upstairs, there are at least a dozen or so. Sacrificing one or two out each time is enough for us to live for a very long time."

Song Ya ignored Wang Laoliu and instead continued to search for Lin Fan's figure.

Wang Laoliu didn't care about Song Ya at all either; his eyes, from beginning to end, were locked on Xu Zhixia.

"Rest assured."

"They can all go feed the snake; whatever Yang Ningcong, whatever Su Qingxue, and that flirtatious star, they can all go."

"Although you can too, you will definitely be that last one."

"As long as you obediently listen and serve me comfortably, I guarantee you'll live until the very end. Who knows, we might even pop out a bunch of little brats on this island."

"I'll teach them to kill, you'll teach them to save lives... hahaha..."

Xu Zhixia stood there, motionless.

The sea breeze blew up the stray hair in front of her forehead, covering half her face and making people unable to see her expression clearly.

The more it was like this, Laoliu's desire grew even stronger.

"Come on, Dr. Xu, fulfill my wish..."

"I certainly hope I don't hurt you..."

Just when Song Ya thought Xu Zhixia would rather die than submit.

Xu Zhixia moved.

She lifted her foot and walked toward Wang Laoliu.

The smile on Wang Laoliu's face grew increasingly smug; he opened his arms, preparing to welcome Xu Zhixia throwing herself into his arms.

Xu Zhixia walked in front of Wang Laoliu...
