Chapter 13 The 1.55-meter-tall pink-haired girl
Su Jin's attack struck the center of the bearded man's back precisely; the trident's structure ensured that the man's heart would be pierced no matter which way it was located.
As a result, the man with the small mustache died instantly the moment he was attacked.
He never knew who killed him, and he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
His deathly appearance was even more grotesque, with blood overflowing from the corners of his eyes, which nearly made Li Yuanyuan faint.
Her legs went weak; she couldn't even crawl, and she didn't even have the strength to run.
If she hadn't just relieved herself half an hour earlier and her bladder hadn't been empty, she would have peed herself from fright.
At this moment, Li Yuanyuan was nervously watching Su Jin's small fishing boat dock, and a shirtless, burly man walked towards her from the boat.
"babble!"
She instinctively cried out, bracing herself with her hands as she fearfully tried to distance herself from the man.
But clearly, with her legs limp, she could only move a little bit after a long time, and Su Jin soon arrived in front of her.
Su Jin didn't pay attention to her immediately. Instead, he stepped on the bearded man to make sure he was dead before grabbing the harpoon handle and pulling it off the corpse.
Now that the harpoon was no longer used to plug the holes in the corpse, fresh blood trickled out from the three bloody holes, flowing all the way to Li Yuanyuan and forming a small puddle.
This scene made Li Yuanyuan's hair stand on end, and she was terrified to the extreme.
This man is clearly much scarier than that sleazy guy from before!
Despite her fear, she remained clear-headed.
This man just saved her; although it was terrifying, he was, in a sense, her savior.
Even if she was scared, she couldn't give the other person a bad attitude.
So, this legally petite girl, who was only 1.55 meters tall, gave a smile that looked more like a grimace and stammered:
"Thank you, sir, for saving me."
Her voice was soft and sweet, sounding very harmless.
To some extent, Su Jin had to admit that his vigilance had been somewhat lowered.
He looked Li Yuanyuan up and down, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, because her attire was really not very common.
Not only was her hair pink, but she also wore a red and white Lolita outfit, and her short legs were covered by white stockings that went past her knees.
Moreover, these white stockings were ultra-thin, with several rips, exposing the delicate white flesh to the air.
Furthermore, Li Yuanyuan was trembling on the ground like a kitten, looking exactly like an anime female character being targeted by beastmen... no, wait.
If that's the case, then the orc is actually himself!
Su Jin put this abstract idea out of his mind and relaxed a little.
He wasn't just observing the beautiful woman; he was mainly checking if she might be hiding a weapon or if she had any malicious intentions.
After all, this is not a modern city; it is a dangerous world where laws no longer apply and humanity has become a rare commodity.
Who knows if this seemingly harmless woman was feigning weakness before he arrived, waiting for the bearded man to lower his guard before striking him dead.
However, based on his observation just now, this woman didn't seem to have much of a scheme in her life. At most, she was probably only a little smarter than that big-breasted, brainless beauty, Shen Ruying...
Well, actually, this woman's figure isn't small either, which seems to fit the description of "big breasts, no brains."
Su Jin squinted, pointed the harpoon at the other person, and asked in a deep voice:
"My name is Su Jin. What's your name?"
Seeing the harpoon in Su Jin's hand, Li Yuanyuan didn't dare to be negligent and quickly replied:
"I... my name is Li Yuanyuan, I'm a food blogger, please, please don't kill me..."
She was sobbing as she spoke, and was on the verge of crying.
Su Jin stared at her for a while, confirming she wasn't faking it, then put away the harpoon and softened his tone, saying:
"Don't worry, since I saved you, I won't kill you. However... you have to repay the debt of saving your life."
Li Yuanyuan nodded vigorously involuntarily. Her survival instinct compelled her to do so, without considering the consequences at all.
Then, after she came to her senses, she realized that the man hadn't said how she was supposed to repay him.
Naturally, she thought of the short-bearded man who had died before, who had tried to do those filthy things to her; the person in front of her was also a man…
The ancients said that one should repay a life-saving debt with one's own body.
Thinking of this, a hint of resistance flashed in Li Yuanyuan's eyes. Then, her body seemed to turn cold, and she hugged herself with both hands, gradually shrinking into a ball.
Finally, she buried her head in her shoulder, tears streaming down her face, and said in a voice barely above a whisper:
"You can do whatever you want as long as you don't kill me."
After saying that, she seemed to lose all her strength and collapsed to the ground.
In the end, she succumbed to the urge to survive.
Li Yuanyuan had thought that her innocence was more important than her life, and if she were to lose her innocence, she would rather die than submit.
But now that the moment has truly arrived, with someone dying in front of her and a harpoon stained with scalding blood pointed at her, she truly lacks the courage.
In addition, there were other factors involved. This man was her savior, and she was only repaying his kindness. She did not lose her innocence.
Because of this, she subconsciously made a compromise.
Su Jin saw everything she did, but he simply said:
"Alright, I'll cut down some trees on your island. That shouldn't be a big deal for you."
Another reason he went to sea was that there were too few trees on Shen Ruying Island, which was no longer enough for him to further upgrade his ship, so he had to go out to find resources.
He had long coveted Li Yuanyuan's forest island, which was rich in timber resources.
Now is the perfect opportunity to ask for some compensation, which is just a drop in the ocean for Li Yuanyuan anyway.
As for Li Yuanyuan's little schemes, he wasn't shameless enough to take advantage of her vulnerability and do such a beastly thing.
Otherwise, he would be no different from the bearded man he killed; he felt no guilt whatsoever for killing such a beast.
Li Yuanyuan was stunned when she heard that he only needed to cut down some trees.
She then realized that she was judging a gentleman by her own petty standards; how could her great and noble savior do such a thing!
Her face immediately turned red, and her rosy cheeks, which matched her hair color, made her look very cute.
Because she had just said something embarrassing, she quickly struggled to get up, feeling ashamed, and said to Su Jin:
"Brother Su, cut as much as you want, don't be polite with me, I can't cut it myself anyway."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and then smiled and said:
"Oh, right, it's getting dark. I'll make you some wild vegetable soup. I have a talent for cooking, and the wild vegetable soup I make is delicious. It even has a special effect bonus, like boosting energy recovery."
