"Um, if I could, I'd like to die of old age."
Li Ke weakly raised his hand, but Kiri only smiled slightly.
"No, next."
"...How about dying of pleasure?"
"Sure, I'll give you some pleasure right now!"
Without another word, Kiri switched to a shotgun in front of Li Ke and then, smiling, loaded it one shot at a time.
"Let me use this big thing to give your little thing some pleasure!"
Li Ke looked at the large thing, then at his own, and had to admit that the other one was indeed bigger, but he couldn't admit defeat in this area.
"Um, I don't think I'm small..."
However, Kiri pressed the shotgun against Li Ke's head, her smile still so warm.
"Are you as hard and hot as it?! Why don't we try?"
Feeling the cold muzzle, Li Ke wanted to say he was indeed hotter than it. Of course, the highest temperature couldn't be compared, but wasn't this the way to compare?
And although he clearly saw that Kiri's loading motion was just firing the bullet out, the gun was actually empty, but the grudge of having a gun pointed at his head…
He would eventually point a gun at Kiri's head too!
Just like he would at Lux's head!
Honestly, what he felt just now was a strong urge to enter that deep passage, but he couldn't get in properly! But he had to do it with Kiri!
However, the situation was against him now, so he could only admit defeat.
"Um… but honestly, you don't know how to use this thing, and Kiri…"
Li Ke's face turned serious.
"Lux just tested it; you can get energy with your mouth too."
"..."
Kiri's face was filled with speechlessness, but she immediately gritted her teeth.
She pulled out a revolver and pressed it against Lux's forehead as she tried to sneak away, startling the girl.
"Do you think I want to sleep with you?! Plenty of men want to sleep with me! Bastard! And you, you philandering cat! Suck it! I don't want to stay here a second longer!"
"Huh?"
Lux was stunned. Looking at Kiri's displeased eyes and indignant expression, she immediately understood the reason.
Kiri had always believed that 'only this way can I go back,' but now that other methods were also possible, Miss Kiri had no reason to convince herself.
However, she was also very curious, and did have some feelings for Li Ke. Given her personality, this situation was quite normal.
"But deportation still requires the person to come in person..."
Li Ke raised his hand again.
That was indeed the case. Although Lux now had a deportation notification on her, there was no doubt that she didn't have it before.
"Damn it!"
Kiri angrily put down her gun, pushed Lux aside, unzipped her gloves, grabbed the mushroom, and began to squeeze and slide it forcefully, pressing hard on the tip with her mouth.
Such intense stimulation was painful, but Kiri didn't care.
"If she can do it with your mouth! Then I will do it too, you bastard!"
Because before Lux had a lot of saliva, Kiri's hands were also wet. During the continuous licking, Li Ke didn't suppress his feelings like he did with Tsunade and Erina, or the female merchant. The moment he felt aroused, he completed the ritual.
In an instant, the original 880 energy points instantly became 1120 points.
"..."
An increase of 240 points?
Kiri was excited?
Li Ke took a deep breath, as did Kiri. She angrily threw the things aside and looked at Li Ke with a strange expression.
"Is this okay? You bastard!"
Li Ke looked at Kiri, and indeed, a 'Deportation' prompt appeared on her.
He hesitated for a moment, looking at Kiri's shapely buttocks, long legs, and her white breasts, before finally nodding.
"It's okay."
"Bastard! You—"
Kiri grabbed Li Ke's collar, wanting to say something but remaining silent, finally letting go helplessly.
She wanted to ask Li Ke if he was lying to her, and he wasn't, but without a doubt, her feelings towards him were extremely complicated.
Her inner turmoil and struggle made her seem like a fool.
Taking a deep breath, Kiri straightened her back, not even noticing what she was holding, and quickly tidied her hair.
"Looks like I didn't have to comfort you anymore."
She turned around, picked up the clothes by the door—a kimono-like outfit belonging to the Celestials—and, while putting them on, approached Li Ke, giving him a smile tinged with anger.
"Fine! Since you say you're not lying to me, send me back now! You bastard!"
Kiri didn't know what she was thinking, but the words came out anyway.
"Okay."
Li Ke didn't say anything; it was good to avoid harming one less girl.
So, he placed his hand on Kiri's arm, and Kiri abruptly looked up, remembering what Li Ke had said to Tsunade earlier.
"You really are a bastard!"
Kiri's voice grew increasingly complicated, but the next moment, Li Ke had already clicked the deportation button.
And so the world changed once more. Under his gaze, Kiri was transported from one world to another, and then…
"Aaaaaaahh ... One was the cold-faced Erina Nakiri, another was the seemingly drunk Tsunade Senju, and then there was Kiri, looking like she was drowning!
Below their avatars was a teleportation button, so Li Ke didn't hesitate to teleport to Kiri's side. But immediately, a 'system' notification appeared.
"Insufficient energy! Teleporting to Kiri's side requires 200 energy points."
Li Ke paused, glanced at his energy panel showing only 120 points, then looked at the shocked Lux beside him, and without hesitation grabbed Lux's head and pressed it down, touching that cute tongue again!
"Sorry, Lux! But this is to save someone!"
Li Ke was quick this time. Even while Lux was still coughing, Li Ke had already pulled up his pants, grabbed a piece of wood and a makeshift lifebuoy he'd woven from mineral water bottles while Lux was tending to herself, and chose to traverse.
The next moment, he felt himself flying through the air.
"Huh?"
The instant Li Ke appeared, he felt himself falling to the ground, but he'd considered this possibility. He immediately took out his simple grappling hook, preparing to grab a crevice in the rocks.
But!
Li Ke only saw a sky, and Kiri, unconscious, falling with him.
Looking at the sea hulls filled with ships below, then at the sky above, Li Ke nodded.
"Damn it, I was so worried I forgot about this."
Kiri fell into Arad after this cliff fall!
After saying this, Li Ke decisively began another operation.
He quickly opened his system interface, preparing to abandon his efforts to save Kiri and respect her choice. He would go to another world to lay low and begin his own journey.
However…
"Insufficient energy. 100,000 energy points are needed to travel to Erina Nakiri's side."
"Insufficient energy. 5,000,000 energy points are needed to travel to Tsunade Senju's side."
"Insufficient energy. 8,000 energy points are needed to travel to Lux Crown Guard's side."
These three system notifications nearly made Li Ke spit out blood.
"Damn it! One for 100,000, one for 5 million, and one for 8,000! Are you kidding me?! Why was it so cheap when I came here, only 200 points?!"
However, Li Ke didn't have time to do anything else, because he could already see the wide expanse of sea below and the figures on the ships below. He could only adjust his falling posture as much as possible, and then—
A scream.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
With a splash, but surprisingly, the scenario Li Ke had imagined—himself and Kiri falling to their deaths—didn't happen. Given their posture and the height of the fall, they shouldn't have survived. But a strange force in this world seemed to protect them, shielding them from some of the damage as they hit the sea.
Li Ke didn't even faint. After swallowing a few mouthfuls of seawater, he quickly realized he was alright and instinctively grabbed Kiri to swim upwards. But the resistance in the water and the rapid aching in his arms made him realize something—his strength and stamina had returned to normal!
His strength and physique, amplified by skill points, had completely vanished!
"So I'm useless once I leave that world?!"
Li Ke realized this and instinctively checked his inventory.
Fortunately, although his boosted power was gone, his inventory, full of consumables, was still useful. He immediately took out several water bottles, quickly wrapped them with his clothes, and then grabbed Kiri, who was sinking, struggling to swim upwards with her.
However, not being a strong swimmer, and carrying the unconscious Kiri, his ascent became extremely slow, and his stamina was rapidly waning in the icy water.
Fortunately, at this moment, the boats he had seen earlier also jumped down to rescue them.
————————————————————
With the help of the kind people, Li Ke finally managed to bring Kiri aboard the boat. After checking on Kiri and finding she was still breathing, he was relieved and turned to the father and son beside him.
"Thank you both so much. I will definitely repay you."
He looked at the father and son fishing and expressed his heartfelt gratitude. Just now, the son of this family jumped into the water, grabbed his hand, and pulled him up, almost capsizing their boat in the process.
Although he had already started to float to the surface with Kiri in his arms, without the help of these two, he might not have been able to carry Kiri back to the surface once his physical abilities returned to normal.
So he was genuinely grateful.
However, in response to his gratitude, the father and son looked puzzled, scratched their heads, and then spoke to Li Ke.
"@!￥@#%"
Fuck!
Li Ke painfully covered his forehead. In the world of 7 Days to Die, he hadn't noticed this, because in that world, everyone could communicate regardless of language, so he had completely forgotten about the language barrier.
Now, while he didn't know if Kiri could communicate with these people, he was 100% certain he couldn't communicate with the Arad people.
However, seeing the bewildered father and son, Li Ke decided to give them some reward so they could take them back.
He knew this stuff couldn't be used as currency in this world, but pulling out a huge pile of steel and iron ingots was just ridiculous. He observed the two men and their boat, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing a brass handle, and then pulled out a large handful of casino tokens.
As for the gold and silver nuggets he'd found while mining and scavenging, while he had some, flaunting them now wasn't a good idea.
So, he could only use these to show his sincerity and indicate that he would repay them.
Seeing the casino tokens Li Ke produced, the father and son were initially excited, but after weighing them in their hands, they couldn't help but grimace, realizing they were just brass.
They smiled and waved to Li Ke, then said something Li Ke couldn't understand before moving the boat towards the shore.
Li Ke quickly clasped his hands together and bowed in gratitude, a gesture they understood, and smiled, shaking their heads to indicate it wasn't necessary.
"It's safe for now."
Li Ke sighed, finally relaxing.
The boat quickly reached the shore. Li Ke, carrying the still unconscious Kiri, was led by a father and son into a clinic. The father and son left some money and then departed.
Li Ke watched as a female doctor began examining Kiri. Realizing they couldn't communicate, she quickly turned and left.
But soon, Li Ke saw another familiar face.
A woman in a violet evening gown, with purplish skin, a striking figure, and magnificent white hair.
Sharan?
Just as Li Ke was wondering, a mature female voice rang in his mind, startling him.
"Your companion is alright, don't worry too much about her. But where did you come from? Why are you speaking a language we've never heard before? And why do you look like you're fleeing?"
Fleeing?
Li Ke glanced down at his tattered clothes and nodded helplessly.
"Pretty much...you could say I'm fleeing."
