"Li Feng, I'm hungry."
After dawn, Lin Ping was so hungry her stomach felt like it was sticking to her back.
She had lost weight from hunger.
They hadn't eaten all night, and after their wild night, their energy was severely depleted.
"Auntie Lin, let's search the beach for supplies first, then head into the forest to find water and food."
Li Feng glanced at the beach in front of them.
The waves were crashing violently towards the shore.
"What are we looking for on the beach?" Lin Ping asked.
"After the cruise ship accident, some items might have washed up on the beach. Let's try our luck."
"Okay, I'll follow your lead."
Lin Ping was obedient to Li Feng.
The two walked along the seaside, but after searching for half a day, they found nothing.
"Li Feng, nothing from the cruise has washed up on the beach. Let's not waste time, we need to think of another way."
Lin Ping rubbed her stomach, the hunger causing her pain.
"If there's nothing on the beach, let's head into the forest to find food."
Li Feng was ready to enter the forest.
Without a fishing net, catching fish by the sea was difficult.
It was better to look for food in the forest.
Besides, seafood wasn't filling.
Without water, seafood could make you feel nauseous.
"But the forest is dangerous."
Tong Meng was killed by a monster last night, and Lin Ping was afraid of encountering danger in the forest.
"It's daylight now, the forest shouldn't be as dangerous."
Li Feng looked at the vast, mysterious forest.
The island was large and enigmatic.
The dense forest behind them stretched endlessly.
The forest seemed like a dark sea.
It gave off a strong sense of oppression.
"Husband, I'll go wherever you say," Lin Ping said.
"You're so obedient?" Li Feng didn't expect her to be so compliant.
"There's a saying, 'Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog,'" Lin Ping said with a sly smile.
"Oh, so you're calling me a chicken or a dog?"
Li Feng playfully attacked with a Dragon Claw Hand.
"Stop it, be gentle," Lin Ping rolled her eyes at him.
"What if you break something?"
Whoosh~
As they reached the edge of the forest, a strong wind blew, causing the trees to sway.
Leaves fluttered down with the wind.
"Oh, it's so cold."
Lin Ping hugged herself, shivering.
The chilling wind felt icy.
"If you're cold, put on the coat."
Li Feng took off his jacket and draped it over her.
"I'm fine, don't take off your clothes. If you catch a cold, I won't be able to take care of you."
"I'd rather catch a cold myself than have you catch one."
Lin Ping refused to put on the coat.
If she got sick, Li Feng could still take care of her.
But if Li Feng got sick, she couldn't handle the island's dangers alone.
"I've been training since I was young, I'm strong and healthy, I won't catch a cold."
Li Feng insisted on giving her the extra layer.
"Husband, thank you, you're so good to me."
Lin Ping was touched, standing on tiptoe to kiss Li Feng's forehead.
"Since I'm so good to you, how will you repay me tonight?" Li Feng asked.
"Tonight, you can do whatever you want, any way you want," Lin Ping felt warmth and love, filled with joy and happiness.
She was willing to give herself to this man.
She couldn't imagine loving anyone else in this life.
Loving him enough to give her body, to give everything.
"I don't want your tricks, I just want your moves," Li Feng smiled.
Lin Ping rolled her eyes, "Auntie may have seen a lot, but I'm not as skilled in that as you young folks."
As they laughed and chatted their way into the forest, Li Feng handed her a stick.
"The forest is dangerous, full of poisonous snakes and insects. You'll be safer with a stick."
The stick could scare away snakes in the grass.
It could also serve as a walking stick to conserve energy.
"Thank you, my little boyfriend, you're so thoughtful. Here's another reward."
Lin Ping proudly leaned in and kissed Li Feng.
"Having you makes me so happy," Li Feng felt warmth in his heart.
"Silly, having you makes me even happier," Lin Ping smiled genuinely.
"The forest is dangerous, don't stray too far from me."
Li Feng reminded her to stay close once they entered the forest.
"Silly, even if you didn't remind me, I wouldn't stray far from you, unless you chase Auntie away."
As Lin Ping entered the forest, she patted the surrounding bushes.
They walked and tapped the vegetation as they went.
To prevent snakes from hiding in the bushes and attacking.
The forest was lush, the trees thick and green.
Everywhere, ancient roots twisted and turned.
In many places, layers of ferns covered the ground.
These bushes were the most dangerous, as many venomous snakes liked to hide there.
As soon as they entered the forest, Li Feng found a wild fruit.
It was a wild goat milk fruit.
City folks rarely saw such things.
But they were common in rural areas.
Li Feng picked one and put it in his mouth, it was a bit astringent.
The fruit was small, only enough to stave off hunger.
"Can we eat this?" Lin Ping licked her lips, starving.
"Yes, we can eat it, but it won't fill us up."
Li Feng picked some fruits for her.
"My stomach hurts from hunger," Lin Ping looked pitiful.
After eating some wild goat milk fruits, their stomachs felt less uncomfortable.
"Auntie Lin, let's keep moving deeper into the forest. We must find water and food."
Li Feng continued deeper into the jungle.
Without fresh water and food, they wouldn't last long.
"This forest is full of towering ancient trees, where do we find water?"
This novel is available on "pawread.com".
Lin Ping looked around.
The jungle was too dense, blocking their view, making every direction seem the same.
In such a dense forest, finding water was incredibly difficult.
"People go up, water flows down. We just need to find a way downhill or to a low area, we should find water."
Li Feng had learned many survival skills from his grandfather during childhood trips to the mountains.
"You're so smart, I'm lucky to have you, or I'd have died hundreds of times by now."
Lin Ping looked at him with admiration.
Roar~
Roar~
As they walked deeper into the jungle, they suddenly heard a commotion ahead.
Roaring sounds came, and the forest ahead shook.
"Be careful, there's danger."
He hurriedly shielded Lin Ping behind him.
"Li Feng, you need to be careful too, don't just worry about me."
Lin Ping didn't want to be a burden, didn't want to hold Li Feng back.
She gripped the stick, ready to fight.
But as the noise grew louder, her heart raced, her body tense.
"Auntie Lin, don't worry, I'll protect you."
Seeing her pale face, Li Feng tried to calm her.
Roar~
Another roar came, and a dark shadow rushed out.
The shadow moved swiftly, like a gust of wind.
"Ah, Li Feng, watch out, there's danger."
As the shadow lunged, Lin Ping shouted in panic.
