The next day, after dawn, Jiang Feng woke up first, while Chu Feifei was still asleep.
She maintained the same position as last night, tightly hugging Jiang Feng, like a koala clinging to its tree.
And so early in the morning, a man's energy is usually vigorous. Looking at Chu Feifei's fair skin in his arms, Jiang Feng found it quite overwhelming.
Fortunately, Chu Feifei sensed Jiang Feng waking up and woke up as well. Realizing the unusual situation, her cheeks quickly flushed red.
Both knowing well but not breaking the awkward silence, Jiang Feng sat up and gazed at the vast sea, uncertain if rescue would come today, as there wasn't the slightest hint of land in sight.
"Just waiting here isn't a solution. Let's leave a signal here and then head into the island to explore," Jiang Feng said to Chu Feifei.
"Okay." Chu Feifei nodded obediently. In a place like this, with no experience in wilderness survival, she could only rely on Jiang Feng for everything.
When their eyes met, it was even more awkward. In the darkness of last night, neither realized—because they had been in the water for so long—Chu Feifei's clothes had been washed away. Now she was only wearing the most intimate garments, which were also misshapen by the water, barely covering her.
Being scrutinized by Jiang Feng at such a close distance, Chu Feifei's cheeks were shamefully red, but she didn't deliberately cover herself—after being intimate with Jiang Feng several times, did she still care about being seen by him?
"Hey, old man, stop looking! Are girls really that pretty?" Chu Feifei glanced at Jiang Feng, feigning complaint despite knowing otherwise.
In fact, she was quite pleased that her good figure could captivate Jiang Feng, feeling a sweet sense of pride inside.
"Ahem, Fei'er, wait a moment. I'll go find some leaves inside to make some clothes for you as cover." Jiang Feng quickly changed the subject, getting up to head towards the forest behind them.
Soon, he gathered some leaves and vines, then made a simple outfit for Chu Feifei out of banana leaves. He also measured her delicate feet and braided a pair of straw sandals to protect her from the stones on the island.
Seeing Jiang Feng being so considerate and warm-hearted, Chu Feifei felt even more reliant on him. Wearing the straw sandals, the two arranged a rescue signal on the beach—a large directional arrow—so that if rescuers came, they could follow it to find them.
Next, they headed into the island together.
Jiang Feng strode ahead to pave the way, with Chu Feifei closely following, not leaving his side.
At that moment, Chu Feifei suddenly thought that if nothing had happened, being alone with Jiang Feng on such a deserted island wouldn't be bad. Unfortunately...
Recalling the events of yesterday, Chu Feifei felt a bit sad and sorrowful, forcibly holding back from showing it.
...
The two walked for nearly an hour.
From a high slope within the island, they could see a mountain peak on the small island, about four to five hundred meters high, and their distance from the peak was roughly three kilometers. The entire small island was circular in shape, covering only about twenty square kilometers, yet it was truly uninhabited.
Jiang Feng didn't plan to fully understand the island's situation. His current priority was to find a relatively safe place to rest. Just in case rescue didn't arrive today, they couldn't spend another night by the sea. Additionally, they needed to quickly find a source of drinkable water!
Without a water source, no one can survive on a deserted island.
They continued climbing the mountain.
The higher they went, the more tangled the wild trees, making it quite inconvenient to walk.
Especially for Chu Feifei, despite wearing straw sandals, her feet still hurt, and the leaf clothes she wore kept getting torn by branches, exposing her fair skin, making her look rather distressed.
Moreover, with her delicate skin, the branches left numerous scratches on her body, causing her considerable discomfort.
Along the way, they saw some unknown small animals, like unidentifiable monkeys and several types of four-legged animals. But most prevalent were various unseen birds and snakes.
Overall, these small animals weren't highly alert upon seeing Jiang Feng and Chu Feifei.
Some herbivorous four-legged animals didn't run when they saw Jiang Feng, instead curiously stopping to watch him.
This was more of a bad sign, confirming even more that the island was uninhabited. Otherwise, how could these small animals not flee upon seeing humans?!
Continuing forward for another hour, they finally heard the sound of running water ahead, and both of them were revitalized, eventually finding a small river.
Chu Feifei, parched with thirst, sped up to the gently flowing river, scooping up water with her hands to drink. Her throat was so dry it could almost smoke—this was life-saving water.
Jiang Feng also joined Chu Feifei by the riverside, crouching to the water.
Once Chu Feifei finished drinking, she felt much more refreshed. Looking at the clear flowing river, she suddenly had the urge, "Old man, I want to take a bath. Is that okay with you?"
Jiang Feng knew that girls loved cleanliness, and right now, Chu Feifei's body was covered in scratches, looking quite disheveled. It would be good to wash up.
"Sure, the water here is safe."
Chu Feifei hesitated for a moment, her face flushed as she looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Old man, why don't you wash up too? I see you have scratches on you, and it would be troublesome if they got infected."
"No worries, you go ahead!" Jiang Feng waved his hand. He couldn't possibly bathe in the river with Chu Feifei—that would be a couple's bath!
Hearing Jiang Feng's response, Chu Feifei felt inexplicably disappointed. She couldn't help but pat her own face: what was she thinking, since when did she become so shameless?
At the moment, Chu Feifei removed her straw sandals and slowly waded through the water, walking barefoot to a large rock in the distance, then gently took off her outer leaf clothes and shyly hid her bare, flawless body behind the rock.
Jiang Feng, being conscious, didn't look at her, choosing to sit on another rock in the middle of the river.
Being isolated from the world, the mountain and water made this a rare cultivation ground for him.
Jiang Feng concentrated deeply and started practicing the "Devouring Sky Demon Technique."
Since absorbing so much demonic qi in the dock warehouse, he hadn't fully refined it, and now was the time for complete integration and refinement.
While Jiang Feng was immersed in meditation like an old monk, practicing his skills, Chu Feifei crouched behind the big rock, sneaking glances at him.
Feeling shy, Chu Feifei was afraid Jiang Feng would peek at her while she was bathing, yet there was a peculiar anticipation in her heart.
However, seeing Jiang Feng sitting there, focused on training, seemingly uninterested in her at all, she couldn't help feeling mixed emotions.
Besides admiring Jiang Feng's character, there was an unexplainable sense of loss.
Did the old man get scared by what I said, afraid to peek at me?
Chu Feifei washed her body absent-mindedly, casting a few more longing glances at Jiang Feng.
For the first time, she discovered that Jiang Feng looked quite cool when he was serious about training...
Perhaps it was by cultivating martial arts that he possessed exceptional abilities and formidable strength?
A girl's feelings are always complex, and involuntarily, Chu Feifei developed a slight admiration for Jiang Feng.
