George's friends had intended to help him, but they were all terrified by Yu Gong Yui's expression at that moment.
Yui's skin had turned from fair to crimson, resembling the color of freshly steamed hairy crabs. The expression on her face conveyed a single emotion: insatiability.
Especially seeing Yu Gong Yui's small, pink fists, it was these very fists that had knocked George unconscious. Was she even human?
Yu Gong Yui stood up unsteadily, pointing a finger at the circle of people around her.
"You scoundrels, daring to have designs on me! Who gave you the guts!"
Although Yu Gong Yui was speaking Japanese and most people around couldn't understand her, they could all feel the strong sense of threat in her words!
Yui turned, grabbed a bottle of red wine from the table beside her, and slammed the bottom forcefully. With a *ping*, the cork shot out.
Then, Yu Gong Yui seized the wine bottle and drank it down in one go.
"Wow, so delicious..."
Everyone's minds were filled with black lines. Although red wine wasn't high in alcohol content, seeing someone drink directly from the bottle was truly a sight to behold.
After finishing the bottle, Yu Gong Yui's body suddenly swayed, her face growing redder and redder. Then, she collapsed onto the ground like a puddle of mud.
However, before her body even hit the ground, a figure had already moved instantly to Yu Gong Yui's side, catching her. This figure was A Li.
A Li had noticed Yu Gong Yui's abnormal state from the side and had been prepared.
Just then, another man walked out from the crowd. This was a tall, dark-skinned man with a shaved head, wearing a thick gold chain around his neck, exuding an aura of a nouveau riche.
This man was named Louis. He was also a strength-type ability user and a good friend of George's. The two often engaged in mischief together, inseparable and colluding in their misdeeds!
In reality, Louis also coveted Yu Gong Yui's beauty. However, he knew very well that as a black man, he stood no chance against George in terms of appearance or anything else.
Now that George was knocked out and Yu Gong Yui had fainted, this guy felt his opportunity had arrived.
So, he approached A Li and said imperiously, "This woman injured my friend. You should hand her over to me so I can deal with her! I advise you to listen to me obediently, or you will suffer greatly!"
A Li rolled her eyes. "Suffer greatly? How greatly?"
"Heh heh, woman, you're playing with fire. I guarantee I'll make you experience the most brutal things in this world..."
"Are you threatening me?" A Li's tone turned icy, and her pupils dilated.
Instantly, the onlookers felt A Li's demeanor change. It was as if the person before them was no longer a delicate beauty but a beast ready to devour its prey!
Just then, Ling Tian, who was in the distance, suddenly shouted, "A Li, don't kill anyone!"
This time, Ling Tian did not use his secret transmission of voice or communicate directly with A Li through their bond. Instead, Ling Tian shouted in English, and everyone understood!
A Li ignored Louis, turned around, and with a heave of her arm, slung Yu Gong Yui over her shoulder. She made it look so effortless, as if she were carrying not a living person, but a plush toy.
A Li's dismissive action completely enraged Louis. He suddenly reached out, his large, fan-like black palm lunging towards the back of A Li's neck.
Louis favored this fighting style. He liked to grab his opponent by the neck and snap it with a crisp sound.
However, just as his hand was less than 5 centimeters away from the back of A Li's neck, A Li moved.
A Li suddenly tossed Yu Gong Yui, who was slung over her shoulder, upwards. Yu Gong Yui's body shot vertically more than two meters high, almost touching the ceiling.
In a flash, A Li's body blurred into an afterimage, and she powerfully threw a punch, hitting Louis squarely in the stomach!
*Boom!*
After a deafening sound, the crowd watched as a figure was sent flying backward. This figure crashed through several tables, then burst open the cabin door, flew out of the cabin, and finally landed on the lower deck!
At this moment, A Li had retracted her fist and smoothly caught Yu Gong Yui, who was falling from the air, before walking towards her room.
Everyone gasped. They simply couldn't comprehend what kind of monster this person was!
From tossing Yu Gong Yui up, turning to punch Louis away, to naturally catching her again.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. What terrifying speed!
Lancelot quickly sent people to check on Louis's condition. Soon, someone reported back that Louis had only fainted and had no life-threatening injuries.
It turned out that A Li had listened very carefully to Ling Tian. Ling Tian had told A Li not to kill anyone, so A Li had controlled her strength when throwing the punch.
The force of her punch was concentrated on Louis's body, and by crashing through the tables, the force was gradually dissipated. If all the force of A Li's punch had been concentrated in her fist, Louis's stomach would likely have been pierced!
Furthermore, Louis was a strength-type ability user, and his physical resilience was far greater than that of an ordinary person. If it had been an ordinary person, even with the force dissipated, they would have been pulverized!
At this point, everyone looked at Ling Tian with awe. Ling Tian's strength was extraordinary, and the people around him were also so monstrous. Who would dare to provoke Ling Tian now!
After finishing his meal, Ling Tian, along with Aurora, went to Yu Gong Yui's room. Yu Gong Yui and A Li shared a room on the ship, but A Li would enter Ling Tian's adjacent space to sleep, as only there did she feel secure.
In the room, Yu Gong Yui was fast asleep under a thin blanket. Her rosy little face peeked out from under the blanket, looking so adorable that one couldn't help but want to pinch it.
Ling Tian placed his hand on Yu Gong Yui's wrist and began to take her pulse, checking her vital signs.
"How is it, Ling Tian? What's going on with this girl?"
A Li, who was beside him, asked curiously.
"It's nothing serious. All her bodily indicators are normal now. She fainted because she was drunk..." Ling Tian said with a smile.
"Alright, what a weirdo..." A Li complained helplessly.
