Chapter 9

On the deck, the people in the cabin were coming out one by one. The masked man and the two bandits, after the female bandit leader fell into the water, were momentarily stunned, then rushed to the ship's rail. Under the moonlight, they only saw the water splashing on the river surface, and the two who had fallen in were submerged, making it impossible to see what was happening below for a moment.

A hint of anxiety appeared in the masked man's eyes. He tightly gripped his long bow with his left hand and turned to call out, "Quick, get two people who are good swimmers to go down and bring that beggar up...!" He called for others, but he himself did not jump in, as if he was not skilled in swimming.

At his command, two people quickly came from behind, and without a word, they jumped over the rail.

At this moment, Chu Huan's strength in his arms was increasing. He had no intention of truly savoring the firmness and elasticity of the female bandit leader's chest. He only wanted to use the strength in his arms to press on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

As long as the female bandit leader's breathing was blocked, she would not die in a short time, but she would fall into a state of unconsciousness.

The female bandit leader struggled with all her might. Her strength was considerable, and Chu Huan knew that this woman was very capable. If she really managed to break free, he might not be able to subdue her. They were tightly pressed against each other, and although their posture was extremely ambiguous, they were in a life-and-death struggle.

The female bandit leader's upper body was restrained, but her two long, sturdy legs kicked backward with all their might. Unfortunately, the resistance in the water was too great. Although she had some strength in her legs, her kicks on Chu Huan were like scratching through a boot, causing no harm. However, as her legs kicked wildly, her round, firm buttocks twisted, rubbing against Chu Huan's abdomen. Although the river water in late autumn was quite cold, the areas where their bodies touched were very warm. The firm, protruding buttocks, twisting with all their might, also made Chu Huan's heart race as he struggled.

The female bandit leader could not break free, and under Chu Huan's pressure, her chest indeed felt suffocating, making it difficult to breathe. In her struggle, the black veil covering her face had come loose, and even the black scarf on her head was disheveled, revealing her black hair.

Chu Huan knew that the bandits on the ship would soon come down, and he had to control the female bandit leader before they arrived, so he did not hold back any strength.

Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his arm. Chu Huan gritted his teeth, and the female bandit leader, in a desperate situation, had lowered her head and bitten his arm. Although Chu Huan had an extremely strong will, he was still made of flesh and blood. The female bandit leader's bite was with all her strength, her teeth sinking deep into Chu Huan's arm. The pain made Chu Huan momentarily lose his composure, and he did not expect the female bandit leader to use this tactic. His arm, in pain, loosened slightly.

Seeing that this move was effective, the female bandit leader did not let go. Her right hand, which held the knife, struck backward. In pain, Chu Huan realized the danger. He saw the water splashing, and two bandits were already swimming over. He secretly admired the woman's extraordinary nature but also knew that his plan might fail.

He knew that if he did not free his arm, the woman would likely bite a piece of flesh off. He forcefully pulled his right arm out, and the female bandit leader finally released her teeth. As Chu Huan's arm pulled away, it passed by the female bandit leader's chest. In a moment of anger, he grabbed a piece of her clothing and pulled it hard.

The female bandit leader's breathing had just steadied, and as Chu Huan's arm loosened, she knew this was her best chance. She kicked backward with her sturdy leg, which brushed against Chu Huan's chest. Although it did not hurt him, it allowed her to create some distance. The lack of air made her unable to deal with Chu Huan immediately, so she quickly surfaced to breathe.

Chu Huan held the piece of clothing, not knowing where it came from, but it felt very smooth, as if made of silk. It was clearly not the black tight-fitting clothes she wore outside. He was about to throw it away but felt something hard and smooth in his hand, like a small stone. Curious, he brought the piece of clothing to his eyes and saw a black lump. Inside was an object. He took it out and felt it was incredibly smooth and warm, clearly something the female bandit leader had on her.

The two bandits had already arrived, and Chu Huan did not have time to think more. He threw away the piece of clothing and tucked the hard, smooth object into his waist.

The female bandit leader's head emerged from the water, and the masked man's tense and anxious eyes finally relaxed. He was about to raise his hand to call out but suddenly saw a strange scene, which made him freeze, his hand halfway up, his whole body stiff like a stone, and his eyes wide open.

Under the clear moonlight, the female bandit leader surfaced, her hair disheveled, greedily inhaling the air. In the moonlight, her chest was slightly exposed, and the white skin was very striking, though not entirely visible.

More strangely, the female bandit leader had not yet noticed that her chest bindings had been pulled down by Chu Huan. Her chest was exposed, and she was just recovering her breath after nearly drowning.

Although there was some distance and it was dark, the white skin still caught the masked man's eye.

A breeze blew, and the female bandit leader felt a chill on her chest. She instinctively reached to adjust her clothing. As she raised her hand, she immediately felt something was wrong. She looked down and saw her chest exposed, with her left breast spilling out of her clothing. Shocked, she let out a cry and quickly covered herself. Clenching her teeth, she thought of what had happened underwater, remembering that it was Chu Huan's doing. She was both ashamed and angry, shouting, "I will kill you!" and dove back into the water to find Chu Huan.

Chu Huan was underwater, skilled in underwater breathing. Even if he did not surface for a while, it would not be a problem. Seeing that his plan to subdue the female bandit leader had failed, he decided to take the opportunity to swim away. However, the two bandits who had come to the water were also very skilled swimmers. Chu Huan's left hand was still holding his gray package, which was quite heavy, so his speed was naturally slower than the two bandits who only held daggers. He was soon caught by them, and the three of them struggled underwater. The two bandits were ruthless, stabbing at Chu Huan with their daggers. Fortunately, Chu Huan's swimming skills were not weak, or he would have been killed by the bandits' daggers.

While they were struggling, the female bandit leader arrived. Chu Huan's right arm was bitten and bleeding, and the blood mixed with the river water. Now, with three people attacking him, he could only fight with one hand, feeling very distressed.

The female bandit leader swam over, waved her hand underwater to signal the two bandits to step back, and then approached. She stabbed at Chu Huan with her large knife, but Chu Huan dodged. The female bandit leader then grabbed his collar, and Chu Huan did not resist, letting her grab him. She raised her large knife again, and Chu Huan was about to dodge when the knife suddenly stopped.

Chu Huan was puzzled, and the female bandit leader pulled him up to the surface. The two bandits also came over, one grabbing each of Chu Huan's legs, immediately restraining him.

Chu Huan surfaced, gasping for breath, his face showing fear. He shouted, "Lady Chief, please... please spare me...!"

At this moment, he was very close to the female bandit leader, whose veil was gone. Under the moonlight, Chu Huan clearly saw her face.

The woman looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, with almond-shaped eyes, a peach-like face, fair skin, and a delicate brow. Her lips were like a dot of rouge, making her a very beautiful woman. However, her face had a sense of沧桑 (cang桑, meaning "沧桑" or "weathered"). Wet strands of hair stuck to her fair face, creating a striking contrast, giving her a beauty that was both alluring and mature. Unfortunately, her crescent-shaped eyes were filled with coldness.

Chu Huan had not expected the leader of these bandits to be such a beautiful woman, and he felt a sense of "you are a beauty, why become a bandit."

He pretended to be frightened and begged for mercy, but the woman ignored him. Her cold eyes were filled with anger and disdain, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She did not speak.

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "I am not a good swimmer. Just now... just now, to save my life, I was a bit flustered. If I... if I offended you, please forgive me...!"

The woman smiled coldly, her red lips parting, her voice clear but cold. "Do you think I won't blame you?" She looked down at her chest, which was still covered, and felt relieved.

Chu Huan said, "Miss, I... I am just a wandering traveler. Killing me is not worth it. I see you as a hero who robs the rich to help the poor. I am a poor person who needs your help. You... you can't kill a poor person, right?"

The woman did not interrupt. After Chu Huan finished speaking, she said coldly, "Poor people can be good or evil. Good people are not killed, but someone like you... do you think you deserve to live?" She did not say more and coldly ordered, "Bring him back to the ship!"

The two bandits had already surfaced and were pointing their daggers at Chu Huan. At the female bandit leader's command, they dragged Chu Huan toward the passenger ship. The masked man at the rail had already drawn his bow, aiming at Chu Huan, ready to shoot if he made any move.
