Chapter 223 Uninhabited Island

Upon seeing the sea, Chu Yuan, wearing a swimsuit, exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! The sea is so beautiful!"

Jing Chen smiled helplessly and looked at Shou Xing, who had put on his usual clothes as soon as he got off the plane. Icarus was also wearing a swimsuit, and the other three were all in swimwear. Jing Chen crossed his arms and leaned against a boulder on the beach, watching the four of them.

"This is a small island that belongs to the Maydayan family, so please relax," Mikako said with a smile.

"Speaking of which, why did we end up on a deserted island?" Tomoki asked with a bewildered expression.

Mikako tossed her hair aside, turned to look at Tomoki, and said with a smile, "It's all because someone broke an important rule, so we can't stay at home anymore."

Tomoki was completely stunned. He never expected that the reason they came to the deserted island was because of him.

Mikako continued, "But it would be too pitiful to kick you all out, so I'm thinking of having you stay on our family's island instead. Would that be too much trouble for you?"

"Ah...no, that's not true." Upon hearing Mikako's words, Tomoki quickly denied it.

"To think that someone would go to such lengths for Satoshi, Satoshi, you should really thank them," Chu Yuan said, looking at Satoshi.

"Thank you for your hospitality," Tomoki said hesitantly.

"You're welcome," Mikako said with a smile.

"It's a rare opportunity, I really want to go swimming in the sea!" Chu Yuan said with emotion as he looked at the vast ocean.

"Wait a moment." Shouxing crossed his arms. "Don't underestimate this deserted island. To survive, we must first ensure we have enough food."

"Huh? But this is the chairman's island, there should be villas there..." Tomoki walked over and said.

"There's nothing there," Mikako said.

Tomoki and Chuyuan were both shocked. Shouxing said, "That's how it is. We don't have time to play anymore. First, let Icarus, Jingchen, and Tomoki prepare food. We'll go prepare something to drink."

"I understand," Zhishu replied.

"OK," Jing Chen replied.

Jing Chen, Zhi Shu, and Ikaros were walking on the beach when Zhi Shu suddenly called out to Jing Chen. Jing Chen looked puzzled. Zhi Shu said, "I mean, how about we just catch some sea bream or tuna in the water around here?"

Jing Chen stopped, and Zhi Shu and Ikaros stopped as well. Jing Chen looked at the sea, rested his chin on his hand, and pondered for a moment before saying, "That's not bad. I'll catch the fish. Ikaros, you go and follow Zhi Shu to see if there's anything else we can eat."

"Yes, Master," Icarus said, holding the watermelon.

"Huh? Jingchen, aren't we going to let Icarus go and help?" Zhishu asked.

Jing Chen shook his head. "Icarus can't get wet. If Icarus gets wet, her wings will become very heavy, and she might not be able to float. Getting Icarus wet will only cause more trouble."

"Huh? Is that so?" Tomoki turned to ask Icarus.

"I don't know," Icarus shook his head.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "I know, that's enough. Zhi Shu, I'm leaving Icarus in your care. Don't lose him."

"Don't worry!" Tomoki said, and left with Icarus.

Watching the two figures gradually disappear, Jing Chen muttered to himself, "If you were here, what would I be doing catching fish? I already took a huge risk to get you out of that predicament with the starry sky, and I don't want you to know the rest of my secrets now."

Angel wings unfurled, flapping in unison, and he flew directly into the sea. Although Jing Chen couldn't use soul power now, his physical abilities were undeniable. Catching a few fish—what could be so difficult?

Before Tomoki and Icarus had gone far, Tomoki spotted a coconut crab on a coconut tree.

"It's a coconut crab! I've been wanting to try it for ages!" Tomoki said, climbing up a coconut tree. Just a second before his hand was about to touch the coconut crab, it launched a fierce counterattack, first giving Tomoki a heavy blow, its two pincers striking back and forth.

"Ah! Spare me!" Tomoki was completely overwhelmed by the coconut crab.

After the coconut crabs finished attacking, Tomoki lay sprawled on the beach like a dead pig. Ikaros walked over, grabbed the two coconut crabs, and looked at Jingchen lying on the ground, asking, "Are you alright?"

Tomoki took Icarus to find some other food and then brought Icarus back to where they had been.

When they returned, they discovered that Jing Chen had already caught fish, including sea bream, tuna, and some other kinds of fish.

After Tomoki and the other two returned, Mori and the other two, who had gone to find a water source, also returned. Seeing so many fish on the beach, they began to prepare the food.

After eating, Zhishu said he wanted to go for a walk, and Jingchen said he would go with him.

Before leaving, Mikako called Jingchen over and said something to him. Shouxing, standing to the side, crossed his arms, his glasses reflecting the light, subtly putting on airs again.

Jing Chen nodded and followed Zhi Shu into the forest.

Icarus looked in the direction Jing Chen and Zhi Shu had left, then turned back to look at Shou Xing and the other two.

After Jing Chen and the other person left, Chu Yuan sat on the beach, hugging his knees, gazing at the boundless sea. Shou Xing sat by the fire, lost in thought.

After a while, Jing Chen suddenly ran out of the woods and said to the four of them, "Something's wrong! Zhi Shu is missing!"

"What?" Chu Yuan was startled and quickly stood up.

Jing Chen said, "Zhi Shu and I were walking along when, for some reason, he suddenly disappeared! I've been looking for him for ages but haven't found him. I was thinking of asking you guys to come and help look for him!"

"Then let's hurry and go find Zhishu!" Chu Yuan said anxiously.

"Okay, let's go find it quickly." Shouxing nodded.

Jing Chen pointed in a direction and said, "We're going that way. Chu Yuan, you start from here, and we'll search in another direction. Once we find it, come back here, understand?"

Chu Yuan nodded and rushed in first. Icarus was about to follow him when Jing Chen clenched his right hand, and an iron chain pulled Icarus back.

"Master?"

"Icarus, there's no need to go," Jing Chen said.

"What's wrong with Tomoki?" Shouge asked.

Jing Chen smiled and said, "I just gave him a mushroom that will make him sleepy, it's nothing."

As for Zhishu in the woods, she had already slowly woken up, clutching her head. Realizing Jingchen was missing, she hurriedly searched the surrounding area. "Jingchen, Jingchen!"

After searching for a long time without finding Jing Chen, Zhi Shu thought something had happened to him and wanted to rush out to find Shou Xing and the others to discuss it. Suddenly, a scream rang out, and upon closer listening, Zhi Shu realized it sounded like Chu Yuan's voice.

Without a second thought, Zhishu quickly ran in that direction, and soon he saw a huge crater. Chu Yuan was lying in the middle of the crater.

"Chu Yuan, are you alright?" Zhi Shu asked, holding Chu Yuan in his arms.

"Xiao Zhi, you're alright, that's great." Just as Chu Yuan finished speaking, a strange voice rang out.

"Ah!" Chu Yuan screamed, and Zhi Shu quickly asked, "What was that sound?"

Chu Yuan held his head and said, "I was chased here by that voice."

"Then we'll stay here until dawn, and then we'll go find the seniors," Zhishu said.

"Okay." Chu Yuan nodded.

The long night finally passed, and dawn was about to break. Zhishu and Chuyuan went straight to their previous spot. But there was no one there anymore; the campfire had long since gone out.
