Looking at the closed bathroom door, Chen Ping gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness! He was incredibly clever.
He twisted his neck, then sat down in a chair, gently stroking his chin as he began to consider their next course of action. Although they had decided to follow the merchant ship, their main objective remained the search for various valuable resources and the discovery of Gabriel's former subordinates.
However, Chen Ping understood that these matters were not urgent and could be investigated in detail after arriving at the next island.
squeak!
With a soft click, the bathroom door opened gently, and Gabriel's figure appeared and disappeared in the swirling steam. She had just stepped out of the hot water, her delicate skin glowing with a healthy luster. She was completely naked, with only a soft white bath towel wrapped around her chest, covering her most intimate parts but also perfectly highlighting her graceful curves and elegant figure.
Her long, damp hair cascaded down her shoulders, droplets of water trickling down her smooth strands, occasionally splashing onto the gleaming floor like tiny, sparkling flowers. Her cheeks were slightly flushed from the hot water, and her eyes held a freshness and tranquility unique to bathing, as if the dust had been washed away, revealing her most primal innocence and beauty.
Every step she took out of the bathroom was like a lotus leaf swaying gently, her posture elegant and captivating. The air was filled with the faint scent of shower gel, which intertwined with her own ethereal aura, creating a sacred and alluring atmosphere.
Despite being naked, she exudes a purity and nobility that transcends the mundane, preventing anyone from harboring any impure thoughts and allowing them only to admire the exquisite beauty of this bathing goddess from afar.
Gabriel looked around, then glanced at Chen Ping with a slightly embarrassed and helpless expression. Her delicate brows furrowed, and a hint of shy distress appeared on her face. "Chen Ping," she said softly, her tone revealing a touch of embarrassment, "I...it seems I forgot to bring a change of clothes from the island. There are only some suits of armor in my storage space."
Clearly, Gabriel's embarrassment stemmed from her clothes, not from the fact that she only had a scarf. She was completely unaware of how alluring she looked.
Chen Ping's gaze had been fixed on Gabriel ever since she left the bathroom; the fact that he didn't have a nosebleed was his last act of defiance.
Upon hearing Gabriel's words, Chen Ping finally snapped out of his daze, rubbed his nose, and looked straight at her, saying, "Come here, let me dry your hair."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel looked down at her hair, which was indeed wet. If she didn't dry it, her scarf would get soaked. This made her walk quickly toward Chen Ping, but her steps were a little too big, revealing a bit of her underwear. The careless Gabriel didn't notice anything amiss.
Chen Ping, whose gaze had never left him, had his pupils dilate slightly, feeling a surge of heat coursing through his body.
Seeing Gabriel sitting down and waiting for him to dry his hair, Chen Ping tried to calm himself down before taking out a towel from his personal space to dry his hair. Fortunately, his personal space was filled with all sorts of supplies, including towels and toothpaste, which he bought from members of the modern world in the chat group.
Chen Ping patiently wiped Gabriel's golden hair, then said softly, "Well, wear my clothes first. They'll adjust automatically, so they won't be too small."
Upon hearing this, Gabriel nodded subconsciously and said, "Ah, okay."
The sudden movement made Chen Ping reach out involuntarily, and then he saw the smooth, white slime, although it was only half of it.
The pleasant spring sunshine passed quickly, and soon Gabriel changed into the pajamas Chen Ping had prepared, lazily lying on the bed yawning. This habit of resting at night was something she had developed after the trip to the Divine Island, where everyone usually followed a certain routine and would go to sleep at night.
Looking at Gabriel, who was dressed in pajamas and looked languid and cute, Chen Ping couldn't help but let his mind wander. He knew that she was wearing nothing under her pajamas at the moment, but his face suddenly became hot. This was different from his previous experiences. This time, he found that his reaction to Gabriel was particularly strong.
Gabriel, lying on the bed: (_ _)(- . - )(~O~)……( - . - )
Seeing Gabriel yawning, Chen Ping smiled and said, "Are you sleepy? Then turn off the lights and go to sleep."
Gabriel nodded groggily, then slowly twisted her body to adjust her position before falling asleep peacefully.
Seeing this, Chen Ping couldn't help but smile, then got up and turned on the lights, leaving only a dim lamp illuminating the entire room in a dim light.
After finishing everything, Chen Ping came to the bedside, feeling a bit conflicted. He hadn't had any particular thoughts when it was just a room, but after Gabriel's bath, he was unsure whether he had any ideas.
Especially seeing Gabriel completely unsuspecting, I felt like doing anything...
Finally, Chen Ping lay down willingly, turning his head to look at Gabriel, who was so close to him, his eyes slightly dazed.
......
As night deepened, Chen Ping and Gabriel were sound asleep in the same bed, while the Li family's old butler led the guards on the pirate ship, busily searching for spoils.
Chen Ping only took some valuables from a secret treasure vault, including gold coins, ancient coins, a small amount of Origin Gold Coins, and some gold and silver jewelry. In reality, the pirate ship's treasure was far more than that; a large amount of cargo was not stored in the vault.
The old butler led the group through the pirate ship's cabins, one by one. Each opening seemed to unlock a door to wealth, revealing a dazzling array of spoils. Clearly, this pirate ship had plundered countless merchant ships in the past, so much so that every room seemed to hold an endless treasure.
The old steward roughly estimated that the value of the supplies they had found so far already exceeded the value of the goods carried on the Li family's merchant ship. Even more gratifying was that many rooms were still waiting to be opened. The old steward was secretly delighted; this time, they had truly stumbled upon a windfall, and this unexpected fortune would undoubtedly bring the Li family enormous economic benefits.
As all the supplies on the pirate ship were brought back, the old butler's smile never stopped. These supplies alone were more than twice the amount of the Li family's goods, and with the pirate ship added to the mix, wow, another huge sum of money!
Watching the guards and crew members struggling to carry the supplies, the old steward laughed loudly, "Everyone, be careful with your carrying! When we get back, I'll give each of you ten times your salary!"
Hearing the old steward's words, the guards and crew were overjoyed and worked even harder.
