Just as Xi Xi stuffed the bags of cat food into her backpack, the time limit for the Glorious Lollipop expired, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.

However, this sudden darkness unexpectedly became an asset to her. Xi Xi keenly spotted a strange light in the corner of the inner cabin—it was a top-grade crystal treasure chest emitting a dark blue glow!

Excitement and anticipation surged through her, and Xi Xi hurried towards the treasure chest. But when she got closer and saw what was inside, her joy vanished instantly.

This top-tier treasure chest has already been claimed by someone else, and in the little space left inside, there lies a lone inventory: a bunch of inconspicuous straws.

She had no choice but to hold onto the bulkhead and continue moving slowly forward. Everywhere in the corners were broken seaweed that had been submerged by the sea. Just as she was about to move into the next cabin, she suddenly heard footsteps overhead.

Two dark figures flashed across the upper deck, and the rustling footsteps made her eyes turn cold—the couple was indeed following them!

Xi Xi glanced at the pixel map on the inside of her wrist; the two neutral points had turned into hostile points.

There was a murderous aura! Could this be a scheme by that couple? Xi Xi considered several possibilities in her mind, and then her heart sank.

Looking at the pixel map again, two hostile points of light were slowly approaching Chu Zhiqin's direction. Xi Xi quickly zoomed in on the screen with two fingers and sent a message to her mother.

Chu Zhiqin did not reply. Xi Xi was getting anxious, so she looked around and kicked over a wooden bucket.

The huge commotion immediately stopped the hostile dots on the light screen map. Xi Xi could clearly see that the dots were moving faster and were rushing towards her at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Xi Xi did not wait in place. To increase the realism, she moved slowly toward the deck.

The glow of the Radiant Lollipop disappeared. Xi Xi did not lick it again, but instead tried to hold her breath and hide in the darkness.

The moment one of the dark figures raised a fire axe, Xi Xi threw the entire bucket of wet seaweed onto the iron ladder.

The seaweed's sticky surface immediately acted as a lubricant, and the man screamed as he slid down into the lower cargo hold.

Immediately afterwards, Xi Xi heard another dark figure cursing and pulling out a dagger, and she frowned instantly.

No! It wasn't that couple! It was two men?!

Oh no, I've made a mistake... It's those two burly men in the cave! Xi Xi clicked her tongue in surprise; she had underestimated them.

The plan changed, and she reached into her pocket, trying to find an invisibility talisman in the darkness, but the other person used the invisibility talisman first, and the two disappeared into the darkness!

A sudden tightness gripped her heart. The light screen map had its own faint light, and Xi Xi could not expose herself like this. She could only press her wrist down and hide it to her chest.

Damn it! Are you out of your mind? Who gave you permission to broadcast this now?!

The system's voice rang out at an inopportune moment. Xi Xi, who had been carefully listening to the footsteps around her, was startled by the loud system announcement and missed the best opportunity to make a prediction.

The next second, Xi Xi felt a dagger pressed against her back. She couldn't catch her breath and shouted with lightning speed, "It's you, honey~ You scared me to death!"

Just as Xi Xi was about to try to break free, a soft laugh sounded from behind, and the dagger on her back pressed even lower: "I thought it was some petty thief trying to steal our supplies, but it turns out it's you, you woman!"

"Who...who are you?" Xi Xi's voice was suddenly filled with sobs, trembling and tinged with a hint of coquettishness.

"Hey, this country girl's voice is pretty nice, listen to it." The burly man scoffed, then said to his accomplice, before grabbing Xi Xi by the neck. "Where's your dark-skinned old farmer husband? Where's he hiding? Huh? Tell me!"

Success... Xi Xi thought to herself, these two really did mistake her for Cuihua!

Since that was the case, she continued in a high-pitched voice, feigning panic, "N-no one's here, I don't have a husband..."

The man clearly didn't believe him, and his tone became even more contemptuous: "Alright, stop yelling. From now on, you're mine, understand? Otherwise, I'll let you taste what it's like to be a widow at such a young age!"

With each word he spoke, he thrust the dagger forward a little further. Xi Xi felt a sharp pain in her back and dared not move for a moment.

The burly man leaned close to "Cuihua's" neck and sniffed. Then Xi Xi clearly heard the gruesome swallowing sound of the burly man behind her. Immediately, a dark cloud descended on her brow, and a feeling of nausea rose from her stomach.

But then she thought about it again and felt something was off. Could it be that these two had seen what Cuihua really looked like? They actually knew that Cuihua was very young and not the middle-aged woman she appeared to be.

Xi Xi thought for a few seconds, suppressed her emotions, hid her expression in the darkness, and then deliberately said, "You can't possibly beat my husband! Unless..."

"Unless what? You bitch, you don't think anyone will come to save you, do you?" The burly man raised his head and winked at his companion. Xi Xi clearly heard footsteps fading into the distance.

Okay, the other person has gone far away, probably to find Wang Dashan.

"Pah! You can't beat us, do you dare to bet!" Xi Xi suddenly turned her head and spat at him, shouting loudly.

The burly man, enraged, grabbed Xi Xi by the neck, turned her around, and then pressed the dagger against her chin, roaring:

"Bet? Of course I'm afraid to bet, hehe. You don't believe me, do you? I shouldn't have used you as a bargaining chip to exchange for the freshwater equipment yesterday. Your idiot husband actually dared to try and fool me with his pile of broken plastic bottles, huh?"

"Today, I'm going to show him right in front of his own eyes what happens when you deceive me!"

The burly man was hidden, and Xi Xi couldn't see his face, but she heard him suddenly laugh maliciously in the darkness.

He was just about to teach "Cuihua" a lesson when he felt a sharp pain pierce through his chest.

With a swift movement, Xi Xi stomped the man to his feet, then raised her water-blade scythe and unleashed a series of corrosive water blades, aiming them fiercely at the man's feet.

The corrosive water immediately seeped into the seawater in the cabin, and muffled shouts came from the area beneath Xi Xi's feet.

Good heavens, so I was stepping on his dog's head. No wonder it felt so comfortable.

Under the invisibility talisman, she couldn't see the burly man's specific expression or bloody appearance, so she poured all the corrosive water into him without any psychological burden.

Soon the movement beneath her feet ceased. Xi Xi glanced at the map on the light screen and saw that there were no more enemy points of light nearby.

She breathed a long sigh of relief and was about to look for another hostile point on the map when the system notification sounded in her ear again.

[Winner of the bet: Player Wang Chenzhong's personal items will be gifted to as loot]

What?! We won already?!

Xi Xi took out the from the golden lucky bag hanging inside her coat and stared at it for a moment with a solemn expression.
