This Damned Thirst for Survival

Chapter 106

Inside the cramped bathroom, a white mist rises.

Jiang Luo was soon out of the shower, but hesitated to take care of the place. Only when he had to face it did he take a deep breath, bracing himself against the wall and bending down.

It is a shameful thing to do.

Jiang Luo felt that he was at least an adult who had opened up and should not damage himself over such an embarrassing trifle. He did his best to keep a level head and clean himself up with an expressionless face.

The heat is half hidden by a thick mist of water.

The gusty wind lifts a little of the white mist, revealing a young man with a slightly curved back.

The young man’s figure is long and beautiful, smooth and athletic, like a big cat ready to strike. His black hair is parted at the shoulders by the current, like wild and mysterious climbing vines in a dense mountain forest.

Yet the young man grunted, his cheeks flushed, and he was doing something that made people blush.

Jiang Luo is trying to get it over with, but he suddenly stops moving.

He turned his head slowly, the ends of his eyes sweeping across the bathroom.

He seemed to sense another uncomfortable sight. But after a quick look around in the haze, Jiang Luo saw nothing wrong. He squinted suspiciously, wondering if some dog had slipped in, but was reassured by the thought of Yin Hu crouching in the doorway.

With Yin Hu watching, it’s still safe.

Jiang Luo turned around, turning the hot water up to a higher temperature. The hot mist became more intense for a moment, and just in case there were any surprises, Jiang Luo gave a soft laugh as he repositioned himself against the wall and deliberately said, “I don’t suppose the haters would peek into the haters’ baths, would they?”

“Or is someone just a dog that follows me everywhere I go because they rolled with me in bed?”

Jiang Luo waited after saying this, but when nothing happened, he nodded in satisfaction and continued with his bath.

On board, a room is being heavily guarded.

Outside the door is a fully equipped police force, while inside there are only four walls. The walls are thickened and there are no windows, which is the true sense that not a fly can get in.

Inside, Li Sha sits in a chair, shifting her legs in boredom.

Suddenly, Li Sha’s wobbly little legs stopped and she shouted towards the metal door, “Hey, hey, hey, someone’s coming in!”

It was as if the people outside couldn’t hear such a loud commotion. Li Sha jumped out of her chair in a hurry, “These humans are really useless.”

A black mist slowly emerges from the gap between the wall and the floor. The black mist creeps from the corner of the wall up the wall and in the blink of an eye it reaches the ceiling, slowly blocking out the last glimmer of light and forming a black fog cage between.

Li Sha saw that it was too late to shout, so she sighed heavily and dutifully returned to her chair.

A man stepped out of the black mist.

The sound of leather shoes on the floor and footsteps interspersed with slyness. The suit trousers are well cut and have a premium texture.

The jeweled red cufflinks shimmered and the man, who was by no means human, revealed his full face, his mouth curled in a relaxed smile, as if he were on an invitation to an opulent date.

The moment this man appeared, Li Sha’s chills instantly exploded and her sense of crisis was at an all-time high. She abruptly ran from her chair to the corner cupboard and poked a head out, “Who are you?”

The man walked slowly to the chair and sat down, his long legs folded, his arms propped up on the armrests, his hands intertwined. Li Sha sat up the large chair but it looked humble beneath him, “I ah …… don’t you already know that?”

Li Sha frowned and stepped out from behind her locker, “So you’re the one who was stalking me on the boat.”

On board the Angonese, Li Sha sensed that he was being watched by someone. They were too powerful, too well hidden and too good to be true. This is why Li Sha wanted to rush ashore and advance his plans.

While plotting who to protect herself from the ship, she senses that something is wrong with the first mate. Li Sha decides that the person inside the first mate is the one who is after her, and that she is after Jiang Luo because she saw how Jiang Luo overpowered the first mate at the ball.

This human must be able to protect her from being found, since he was able to suppress this unknown and terrible thing.

But what Li Sha didn’t realise was that Jiang Luo wasn’t so easy to fool either.

Chagrined at the thought, Li Sha dared to say, “What do you want to do?”

The corners of the man’s mouth lifted, the shadows jumping across the bridge of his nose, his face perfect in the dimness. But even though he was smiling, Li Sha had the impression that he wasn’t in a very good mood, and that he was going to be killed if he wasn’t careful.

What strange people.

“I’m here to give Miss Li Sha a choice.”

Crossing his long fingers and tapping them regularly on the back of his hand, the man grunted and laughed, “This is a very simple multiple choice question, and with Miss Li Sha’s intelligence, she will be able to choose the correct answer.”

Li Sha said guardedly, “So tell me about it.”

The man said, “First, you stay on this boat and wait for death; second, become my henchman.”

As the leader of the blood eels, Li Sha has control over all the blood eels and pride will never allow her to be under someone else’s command.

She caught the loophole in the man’s words, “How can I die if I stay on this boat? Even if they wanted to kill me, they would have to bring me ashore and get the list of the rich people being manipulated from me before they would do it.”

“I mean,” the man chuckled, “I’ll kill you.”

Li Sha : “……”

She didn’t even hesitate this time, “I’ll take number two, boss.”

“Good girl.”

Chi You sighed and smiled towards Li Sha, “Come here.”

Li Sha trotted up to him, Chi You waved his hand back and a black mist spat out twenty or so pale, unconscious humans.

The humans were placed in two groups, one left and one right, led on the left by none other than the pain-faced Chi Boss and Chi Laoji.

Chi You got up and led Li Sha to the men, his tone lifted, ” Li Sha , remember them. On the left are the Chi You’s men and on the right are the Qi’s men. They are the ones who got you on my radar, so if you want revenge, you must not be soft.”

Li Sha looked grimly at the men, “Boss, I got it.”

Chi You let out a laugh, “Let the Kiwis take your female fry.”

Li Sha did as she was told, and after the Qi family had taken it, she looked at the Chi family stupidly and offered, “Do they want more? Li Sha has plenty of fry here.”

“Not them,” Chi You looked gently at the Chi family, “every one of the Chi family, live and let live.”

Li Sha stopped asking and jumped in, “Boss, what do you want the female fish to manipulate them for?”

Probably because she was so cute, the newly recognized boss gave her a smirking look and actually told her, “Let them put on a good dog-eat-dog show for us, and by the way, draw out someone I’ve been looking for for a long, long time.”

The man then smiled, “I’m going to take you away now.”

The black mist slowly wrapped around them and before leaving, Li Sha carefully looked at his face and whispered, “Boss, can I go and say goodbye to my brothers and sisters?”

Before Chi You could say anything, Li Sha followed, “It’s the brothers and sisters who brought me on board, you know them too, one of them is a beautiful brother with long hair, you even performed with him on stage.”

But she seemed to be wrong in that statement, and the false smile on the evil spirit’s face, which was devoid of any emotion, was suddenly withdrawn quite a bit, and he thought of the image he had just seen and tugged at his collar in annoyance, then he hid all his emotions and said indifferently, “You don’t have any extra time.”

Li Sha gulped, a little scared but more curious, “Don’t you like that brother?”

“Like?” The evil spirit snorted, “He’s aroused some interest in me, but that’s only because I want to watch him become like me.”

“A frail, easily killed human who, in the future, will become nothing more than an ordinary, one of your many partners.”

Li Sha wants to say something but doesn’t.

Ordinary and fragile?

She shuddered as she remembered Jiang Luo’s intelligence and acumen, his great hands, and the fierce tiger.

The evil spirit was somewhat restless and he took no notice of Li Sha’s performance as he stepped into the black mist with a roomful of people.
