Chapter 5

“Click…” The woman was clearly agitated and flustered. She didn’t even notice the clothes William Carter had carelessly thrown on the riverbank. She stumbled to the water’s edge, bent her head down abruptly, and started vomiting violently.

Hearing that earlier “click,” the fat on William Carter’s face twitched, and he grimaced in pain. “It’s over. My poor, ill-fated glasses—so tough they survived bumps and falls, but ended up smashed by this woman’s foot!”

Sure, they were uncomfortable to wear, but if I didn’t want them, I could throw them away myself. What’s the deal with you stomping them to pieces?

By now, he could roughly make out the woman’s figure. Her delicate little face looked even more beautiful in the hazy night, and her figure was simply flawless—curves in all the right places. Especially with her wearing a short skirt, her two long, fair legs were dazzling in the night.

For some reason, her clothes were a bit disheveled. As she bent over to vomit, from William Carter’s angle, he could just catch a glimpse of the undulating curves beneath her collar. He couldn’t help but swallow secretly.

“So big! So white!”

William Carter was indeed a cultivator, but by no means a saint. With such a stunning beauty bending over right in front of him, he really couldn’t get enough. He wanted to sneak a few more glances, but just then, something unexpected happened!

The woman was clearly drunk and couldn’t control her balance at all. Suddenly, her foot slipped, her body lurched forward, and with a splash, she fell into the water!

William Carter immediately broke out in a cold sweat! Though he was fat, he was 1.8 meters tall, and the water reached up to his armpits. If the woman couldn’t swim, she’d definitely drown!

He soon got his answer—the beauty really couldn’t swim. The icy river water choked her several times, and in her panic from falling in, she flailed wildly and opened her mouth to cry for help!

This woman was clearly someone with a story. William Carter hadn’t wanted to get involved, but he knew that if she shouted and drew people over, he’d be accused of molesting her for sure!

Damn! In the middle of the night, his clothes were scattered all over the bank, he was standing naked in the water, and this woman, with her clothes in disarray, was screaming for help in the river. What would people think if they showed up?

Thinking of this, William Carter couldn’t worry about anything else. He immediately moved to the beauty’s side, scooped her up around the waist with his left arm so her head was above water, and at the same time, his right hand shot out to cover her mouth just as she was about to scream in terror!

William Carter felt a slippery sensation under his hand, and his gaze couldn’t help but linger on the beauty’s chest for a moment. He silently praised her in his heart: “Hmm, I wasn’t mistaken earlier—really big and really white!”

Only a fool would pass up a bargain. William Carter saved this beauty’s life, so sneaking a couple of glances at her chest was just her way of repaying him for saving her.

But the beauty showed no joy at being rescued. Her beautiful eyes were wide with terror and despair in the night! “Mmm! Mmm!” She couldn’t make a sound, but her delicate body struggled desperately, her two snow-white legs kicking wildly underwater, trying to break free from William Carter’s embrace!

Their bodies were pressed tightly together. Clearly, she had realized that this fat guy who’d appeared out of nowhere wasn’t wearing any clothes at all!

Her clothes were completely soaked, clinging tightly to her exquisite, curvy figure. William Carter, stark naked, could feel the heat radiating from her body, and he was starting to lose control himself!

At that moment, a phrase from this world popped into his mind out of nowhere: “wet body temptation.”

“Don’t move! I’m saving your life! If you keep struggling, I’ll just throw you back in and leave you!” William Carter threatened her, showing no hint of gentleness.

Seeing the fear in her eyes, William Carter was instantly covered in cold sweat. Do I really look that much like a bad guy? He forced a smile he thought was friendly and said in a low voice, “Miss, I’m not a bad person. I mean you no harm. I was already here bathing when you suddenly showed up and interrupted me. Promise me you won’t scream. As long as you don’t, I’ll let you speak. How about it?”

The beauty seemed to realize that William Carter really had been here first, and hadn’t come over to take advantage of her after seeing her fall in. But their current posture was just too ambiguous, and she could already feel a certain change in William Carter’s body.

She quickly nodded, her face burning, and blinked desperately to signal William Carter to let go of her mouth.

William Carter only moved his hand away slightly, afraid she’d go back on her word and start screaming again. In their current state, he’d never be able to explain himself!

Unexpectedly, the beauty really didn’t scream. She just said softly, “I’m not a ‘miss.’ You… let me get ashore first.”

Her voice was low, but as melodious as a fairy’s song—truly pleasant to the ear.

“Not a ‘miss’? If you’re not a ‘miss,’ are you a young master then?” William Carter was a bit puzzled. If it weren’t so dark, he’d have seen her face was already red as fire. With a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, he was a little reluctant to let go, but he still immediately carried her to the bank and carefully helped her to her feet.

“Don’t you come out!” The beauty, afraid he’d follow her ashore, hurriedly shouted as soon as her feet touched the ground.
