Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 36 Meeting Yi Mengying

There are no living people to be seen here. She has been here for so long and has not found any other humans on the island. Apart from wild beasts, there is not a single higher life form here.

Their small boat capsized and they were washed ashore on this island. Although there were no living people, there was still plenty of food on the island. Each house had food and supplies stored inside. Earlier, the demons had visited this place and kidnapped all the humans, but they did not take or burn the things inside the houses, so there was still food inside.

He lived a comfortable life alone on the island. To deceive passing demons, he didn't touch the houses or the food inside near the shore, so as not to reveal that anyone else was on the island. He camped in a small house a little further from the shore, so he could observe the activity on the beach and make a safe retreat if anything seemed amiss.

She had once lived a life of comfort and privilege, the apple of her parents' eye, enjoying happiness and contentment. But life is full of risks, and a sudden turn of events separated her from her family, leaving her adrift and reliant on herself to start anew. Pain and hardship constantly tested her. To find her parents and return to her family, she had endured a year of hardship on this island, becoming intimately familiar with it. The person who had come last night was still fast asleep; she hadn't disturbed him. He seemed harmless, about her age. She wondered if she could leave with him—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she missed it, who knew when someone else would come and allow her to escape? She had carefully observed him last night; he didn't seem like a bad person, at least not a threat.

She was still very wary of the seven-colored fire phoenix, fearing that she might accidentally be eaten by it and die with her eyes wide open in disbelief. At noon, she quietly went over to observe; the person hadn't left and was still sleeping, which put her at ease.

……

Lan Tian hadn't left the small house for several days. The liquor was too strong; the effects were still lingering. He figured he should drink less in the future. However, he'd been constantly on the move, living in constant fear, so a few days of rest suited him perfectly. With nothing to do each day, he enjoyed the beautiful scenery and occasionally strolled along the beach to observe any changes at sea. He also diligently cultivated every day, never daring to slack off in his efforts to improve his cultivation and strength.

That evening, Fire Phoenix told Blue Sky that it seemed there were people on the island, and something felt strange, but she still hadn't seen anything. She wanted Blue Sky to be extra careful, in case something unexpected happened. She suggested that Blue Sky set up a precaution outside the house. Therefore, Blue Sky understood and specially set up trigger mechanisms around the yard and the house.

He would wake up very early at night, waiting for something to take the bait.

"Ah, snap snap." Someone triggered the mechanism. Lan Tian immediately got up to see what it was. He saw a man in black trapped inside the mechanism. He didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, but it was too dark to see his face clearly.

"What are you doing? Why are you spying on me?"

"No, I was just passing by."

"I've been passing by for a few days now! Do you pass by every day?" Lan Tian recognized the voice as belonging to a girl. How could there be a woman here?
"No, I pass by here every day."

"this,……"

"What do you mean 'this'? This isn't your home. You've taken over someone else's property, and you still think you're right?"

"I... I can't stay here temporarily, it's not your home."

"How do you know this isn't my home? Let me tell you, this entire island belongs to me." "Why should I? This is a deserted island; the people are long gone!" Lan Tian felt this person was being unreasonable. How could there be any people on the island? The demons had already kidnapped everyone here; they didn't even look like the people from this place.

"What are you doing here? Why are you all alone?"

"What if I don't tell you?"

"I don't want to know yet. Tell me if you want, or don't."

“I told you, you have to take me with you away from here.”

"Why?" Lan Tian couldn't understand. She wanted to take her away by himself. Wasn't she afraid that he would sell her? What a brainless person. Women, these days the world is not peaceful, and she can't even protect herself. It seems that she is a kind-hearted person who has never experienced the ways of the world. Lan Tian couldn't do anything about it. He would help her if he could. This island was not a place to stay permanently after all.

"Are you alone? I can't handle more people!"

"It's just me, good brother, thank you!" She suddenly changed completely; women are so fickle! There's nothing you can do about it.

"Come in, tell me what happened here?" Lan Tian invited her into the house, and the two had a heart-to-heart talk. They were both in the same boat! Lan Tian told her that they had encountered demons at sea and the entire ship had perished. He had only survived by hiding and had drifted to this place. She believed him without a doubt.

Lan Tian deeply despises the demons and is determined to eradicate them. He feels great sympathy for this woman; now that they are all in the same boat, he will help her as much as he can.

"What's your name? My name is Lan Tian. You can just call me Lan Tian from now on."

"My name is Yi Mengying, but everyone calls me Yingying. I'm younger than you, so I'll call you Brother Lantian!"

Lan Tian felt that whatever Yingying called her was fine, so he agreed. After chatting for a while, Lan Tian took a closer look at Yingying. She was about one or two years younger than him, about the same height, maybe a little shorter. Her figure was fully developed, with curves in all the right places, and she still had a certain charm. Although she wasn't a beauty, she was still quite attractive.
