Chapter 647: Chapter 671 Enjoying While Suffering

"And mine!"

While Li Yifei was still stunned here, Su Mengxin’s underwear also came flying over.

"Hey Michelle, aren’t you going to wash yours?" Xu Shanshan asked with a giggly smile.

Michelle’s face turned red, and she stuttered, "No... no need, right?"

Xu Shanshan chuckled lightly and said, "How can there be no need? Hygiene is a must for us women. We soaked in the sea all of yesterday, and our underwear is all soaked with seawater—it’s bound to have some dirt on it. It would be trouble if we get a gynecological disease later on."

"But..." Michelle knew this too. As a girl, changing underwear daily had long since become a habit.

Su Mengxin lay flat in the water, her hands propping her up and only her head showing, smiling as she said, "Just wash them, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. We’re in this hardship together. Although Yifei is a man, he has seen what he should and shouldn’t have seen. We are bathing here too, what’s there to fear?"

Michelle looked over at Li Yifei, who was now hanging Xu Shanshan’s and Su Mengxin’s underwear on the tree branches. Hesitating for a moment, she finally took off her underwear underwater.

If it were just Michelle alone with Li Yifei, or in a different setting, she would’ve never dared to do such a thing. But now, everyone was on a deserted island, with Xu Shanshan and Su Mengxin setting the example, especially Su Mengxin—the number one beauty of Huaxia, with status and identity far beyond her own. If she didn’t care, and Michelle continued to be stubborn, it would just make her seem odd. So, she did it now.

"Brother Li..." After washing her underwear, Michelle wanted to call out to Li Yifei, but the words were stuck in her mouth and she just couldn’t get them out.

"Brother-in-law, help Michelle hang hers up too," Xu Shanshan called out again.

Li Yifei turned around and said, "Okay, throw it here."

Michelle, flushed and awkward, quickly threw it over, but her aim was off. However, Li Yifei simply reached out and still caught it. Looking at her underwear in Li Yifei’s hand, Michelle buried her head beneath the water surface, feeling too ashamed to meet Li Yifei’s eyes again.

After hanging up everyone’s underwear, Li Yifei went over to Sophia and said, "Aren’t you going to wash up?"

Sophia looked at Li Yifei coldly and said, "No need."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "We are in the same boat now, don’t be so uptight, alright?"

"Hmph, whether I wash or not is my business, and it’s none of your concern," Sophia turned her head away. Though she was a strong woman, she was still a woman. She wanted to wash up properly, but since Li Yifei put it that way, she was determined not to.

Li Yifei didn’t press the matter further and changed the topic, "What is your purpose? You can tell me now."

Sophia immediately turned back to look at Li Yifei, her eyes shining, "You are the strongest person I’ve ever met, so I want to have a real contest with you."

"Just for that?" Li Yifei asked, skeptical.

"Yes!" Sophia replied crisply.

"You are really boring, but I don’t understand. For a strong person like you, why would you join them in hijacking a ship?"

"That’s none of your business," Sophia answered indifferently, but a trace of melancholy flashed through her eyes.

Li Yifei genuinely became curious about this woman, Sophia. She seemed to have quite a story. He wondered what she used to do.

"If you really want to challenge me, that’s fine, but I want to wait until they are safely picked up before I compete with you. Otherwise, I won’t accept your challenge."

Sophia’s eyes met Li Yifei’s. After a while, she nodded and said, "Alright, but now that I know who you are, if you don’t compete with me, I’ll find them and kill them all."

Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed, "Okay then, you take care of them for now. I’m going to check around here. It probably won’t be just a day or two before they find us; we need to find a better place to stay."

Sophia nodded, remaining silent.

Li Yifei stood up and walked upstream along the river. On this island, the stream must be coming down from the mountains. He hadn’t walked far when the terrain began to rise. Climbing onto a rock, he looked down and could still see Xu Shanshan and the others in the river. Sophia had also stepped into the water, though she hadn’t taken off her clothes, just soaking in the river.

From this distance, which wasn’t far, Li Yifei could clearly see that they were naked, and even the dark area between their legs wasn’t concealed, presenting quite an erotic scene.

Li Yifei shook his head and withdrew his gaze; he never expected that being stranded on a deserted island with everyone would turn out to be so titillating.

Continuing upstream, Li Yifei quickly found a cave. The cave wasn’t very large, around three meters in height and four to five meters wide, extending inward for just three to four meters. But it was high inside, lower at the entrance, and didn’t have any water accumulation inside—it was quite dry and just perfect for spending the night.

Having found a place to stay, Li Yifei felt at ease. After all, it was already October and they were on an island, so the nights could get very cool. Without a good place to settle down, the nights would be tough to get through.

By the time he returned, the others had finished bathing. Xu Shanshan and the rest had already come ashore and were sitting together, chatting away. Their underwear was on, and their chests were covered with leaves, but except for Michelle, who covered herself a bit more thoroughly, Su Mengxin and Xu Shanshan merely did so symbolically.

Sophia, however, sat a little distance away on a big rock, still tightly clad in her black leather outfit, looking out of place there.

Li Yifei smiled at her but, receiving no response, walked over to Xu Shanshan and the others. Michelle immediately lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Yifei. The thought of her underwear having just been handled by Li Yifei made her feel as if she had no more privacy in front of him.

Li Yifei also noticed Michelle’s embarrassment, but could only pretend not to know and said, "I’ve found us a place to stay."

"That’s great, is it a big cave?" Xu Shanshan immediately asked excitedly.

Li Yifei smiled and replied, "It’s a cave, but not a very big one."

Xu Shanshan immediately stood up and said, "Then let’s go have a look. That’s going to be our home from now on, we need to arrange it well."

Li Yifei called out to Sophia once more, then led the group to the cave. Everyone was quite satisfied with it. Michelle, Su Mengxin, and Xu Shanshan immediately began to clean up the debris inside the cave.

Li Yifei went off to gather a lot of dry grass, to make sleeping at night a bit more comfortable.

In the afternoon, they managed to tidy up the cave properly. They laid a thick layer of dry grass at the far end, and at the entrance, they hammered a row of tall stakes into the ground, which blocked the cave entrance perfectly. This would not only shield them from the wind at night but also prevent other animals from getting in.

Li Yifei even made a door, so that everyone could go out. Although Sophia did not get involved in other tasks, she was quite helpful with the stakes.

While Xu Shanshan and the others did not have a good initial impression of Sophia, seeing her help out at this moment softened their attitude toward her.

While everyone stayed inside the cave, Li Yifei went out and caught a deer, which was not at all shy around humans and practically fell into his hands without much effort.

Returning with the deer, they roasted the meat outside the cave. Li Yifei also made some charcoal by burning dry branches—this way, they could use the charcoal fire to keep warm at night, a much better option than burning branches directly, and it would last much longer.

The deer meat here was incredibly tasty. Grilled, it was very flavorful. Most importantly, Li Yifei had even accidentally discovered a small salt cave with some salt crystals inside. Although different from the salt they usually consumed, it was still quite good to season the meat with.

Xu Shanshan tore off a deer’s leg, held it, and started gnawing on it without any concern for appearances, with grease dripping all over her mouth. While eating, she said, "Brother-in-law, this is so delicious. We can’t get roasted deer meat like this at home."

Su Mengxin just took a small piece of deer meat and chewed slowly, saying with a smile, "Not bad, it’s quite charming here. I don’t even want to go back now."

Michelle nodded repeatedly, saying, "It feels like a vacation. It’s much more interesting than any of those tourist areas."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Well, if we get a chance in the future, let’s come back to this island for a visit."

The three women immediately agreed with excitement. Su Mengxin winked at Li Yifei and said with a grin, "Should we give the island a name then? Like ’All-eat Island’ or something?"

Michelle laughed and said, "That’s an interesting name..." Suddenly, she realized that the name had been used by Master Jin Yong in "The Deer and the Cauldron", where Wei Xiaobao and his ladies got stranded on an island and named it All-eat Island. Since the women with Wei Xiaobao were his wives, didn’t that imply that they were also Li Yifei’s wives?

Xu Shanshan looked at Li Yifei with a mischievous smile and said, "I’m telling you, brother-in-law, don’t you dare get any funny ideas, or I’ll tell my sister when we get back home, and you’ll be in trouble."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "I wouldn’t dare."

Su Mengxin continued teasing, "I don’t think there’s anything you dare not do. Just look at you, you’ve got more than just one wife now, haven’t you? There’s Xiaoyao, Yiyi..."

Li Yifei coughed awkwardly, about to speak, when suddenly a loud roar came from not too far away. The girls’ faces changed immediately; they all looked at Li Yifei and instinctively moved closer to him.

Li Yifei frowned; he hadn’t traveled far on this island, but seeing so many small animals made him sure that there had to be carnivorous animals on the island. Otherwise, the herbivores would breed more and more, eventually consuming all the food. However, judging by the sound, the carnivorous animal should be quite large, probably around the size of a black bear.

Bears are highly adaptable and can survive in most parts of the world. With such abundant food on the island, they would likely thrive here. Despite their clumsy appearance, bears are quite agile and downright speedy when hunting prey. Humans simply can’t compare. If there were really bears on the island, they would need to be very cautious.
