Chapter 646 - Wilderness Survival

Chapter 646: Chapter 670 Wilderness SurvivalSu Mengxin, Michelle, and Xu Shanshan were all draped in leaves at this time. The leaves were originally quite large, but for some reason, they only tied two small pieces at their chests, barely covering them. They even took off the fabric strips inside to use for tying the leaves.

Around their waists, they each tied a slightly larger leaf in the front and back, but the leaves weren’t very secure, with light shining through the sides. Li Yifei could see their underwear and the sides of their thighs and butts through the gaps.

It seemed like they were covering more, but for Li Yifei, this semi-revealed appearance was even more attractive than when they were just wearing underwear, making it hard for him to resist glancing between the leaf gaps.

"Hey, brother-in-law, don’t look around carelessly, or I’ll tell my sister," Xu Shanshan came up to Li Yifei with a fierce look, hands on her hips, saying, "I’m telling you, you might get away with looking at me, but if you dare to look at Mengxin and Michelle recklessly, that won’t do."

As Li Yifei’s sister-in-law, Xu Shanshan had every reason to keep an eye on her brother-in-law for her sister. She suddenly realized this. She’s Li Yifei’s sister-in-law, not another woman. Why should she behave the same as Su Mengxin and Michelle when she’s in such a fun place? If she didn’t take advantage of it somehow, it’d be a real loss.

Li Yifei chuckled dryly and said, "Not looking, not looking, but you all like this... I’m a man, you know; are you trying to tempt me into doing something bad?"

Xu Shanshan pinched Li Yifei and said, "Are you daring? Do you not want to be well?"

"Not daring, not daring, it was just a joke," Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, hurry and put on your shoes. We’re still hungry now, and we need to find something to eat."

Xu Shanshan and the others quickly put on the straw shoes Li Yifei had woven, which surprisingly fit well, making them very happy. Michelle’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Li Yifei and said, "Brother Li, you are really amazing. Being with you, it seems like there’s no difficulty."

Su Mengxin laughed lightly and said, "Yes, and it’s very interesting. If it were someone else, I’m afraid we’d have to think about whether we could survive here."

Proudly, Xu Shanshan took Li Yifei’s arm and said, "Of course, and see who this is, this is my brother-in-law."

When Xu Shanshan took Li Yifei’s arm, it touched Xu Shanshan’s ribs, which were smooth and bare, making it difficult for Li Yifei to bear. He quickly pulled away Xu Shanshan’s hand and said, "Alright, alright, let’s hurry up and see how we can survive on this island."

No sooner had they stepped off the beach than Sophia emerged from behind a nearby bush and silently followed the three of them.

Xu Shanshan quickly pouted, while Li Yifei smiled and said, "Having an expert with us, our safety is higher."

"Hmph, I think she’s the most dangerous person," Xu Shanshan muttered, recalling how on the ship, this woman threw people into the sea without regard for their lives, leaving a shadow in Xu Shanshan’s heart, knowing that this woman had no regard for others’ lives.

Li Yifei still held the dagger Sophia had given him, walking ahead, with Xu Shanshan and the others in the middle and Sophia at the back.

From Li Yifei’s position, he could see a mountain peak on this small island, about three hundred meters high. Judging from the distance between them and the mountain, it was about two kilometers away. If this was a circular island, it would be over ten square kilometers in size, not large, but exploring it thoroughly would still take some time.

Li Yifei didn’t intend to fully understand this island. His current need was, first, to find a relatively safe place to stay; second, to find a water source. Without a water source, no one could survive. Third was to find food. Although there were some fish in the sea, eating seafood easily caused stomach issues, which would be quite dangerous on this island and could even be life-threatening.

The island was covered with various trees and had no paths, making it very inconvenient to walk. Even with shoes, they had no clothes, the little leaf coverings were soon torn off, and their delicate skin was scratched, leaving marks that caused Xu Shanshan and the others much suffering, quickly diminishing their initial enthusiasm.

When their coverings initially came off, the three still used their hands to cover their chests, but after a while, they didn’t care anymore. Covering their chests meant they couldn’t brush away the branches in their path, and besides, Li Yifei had already seen, so protecting themselves was a priority.

Li Yifei had no mood to admire their bare skin. Their injuries pained him, so he slowed his pace, clearing the branches ahead to prevent them from getting hurt.

There were indeed some small animals on the island, some unidentified monkeys, small deer, but mostly birds and snakes. However, Li Yifei walked slowly, even driving away snakes to avoid frightening them.

These small animals weren’t very wary of Li Yifei and the gang. A small deer stopped ten meters away, watching them without fleeing. This told Li Yifei that there definitely hadn’t been any human presence on the island. If there’d been people, the small animals would have run away at the sight of them. Because they’d never seen people before, they didn’t realize the danger and didn’t rush to escape.

After more than two hours, they only managed about a kilometer, but they heard the sound of flowing water, which excited Li Yifei greatly.

Xu Shanshan and the others were parched. Walking was physically demanding and left them sweat-soaked, needing hydration. Upon hearing Li Yifei’s remark, they were motivated and quickened their pace.

After another ten minutes, they finally reached a small river. Xu Shanshan and the others cheered and were about to rush over, but Li Yifei quickly extended his arm in front of them, with Su Mengxin being steadier and slightly slower. Xu Shanshan and Michelle bumped into Li Yifei’s arm, hitting it with their chests. Michelle immediately cried out in surprise, stepping back and instinctively covering her chest.

Xu Shanshan slapped Li Yifei’s arm and shouted, "Damn brother-in-law, what are you doing? Taking advantage of Michelle isn’t it?" She automatically overlooked herself.

Li Yifei quickly said, "Don’t rush. We don’t know if there’s anything in the water, or if it’s drinkable. Let me check first." Saying this, he approached the river.

The river wasn’t wide, about two meters at its narrowest, at most three to four meters at its widest. The water was clear, allowing a view of the fine sand at the bottom, generally just knee-deep, not reaching the knees, with a slow, gentle current, abundant with small, palm-sized fish swimming leisurely back and forth.

Gently scooping up some water, Li Yifei licked it with his tongue; it was fresh. Only then did he beckon them to come over, but he cautioned, "This mountain spring water may be too hard; your stomachs might not handle it, so don’t drink much. Just quench your thirst, and later we can figure out how to boil some."

Xu Shanshan and the others obediently followed Li Yifei’s advice. They had no wilderness experience and dared not act recklessly, so although thirsty, they only drank a little.

Though Sophia was skilled and lethal, she also lacked such wilderness survival experience. Her previous training was harsh, but daily necessities weren’t something she needed to worry about. Apart from being perhaps equivalent to Li Yifei in other aspects, in this regard, she fell far short, though she didn’t voice much but followed Li Yifei’s lead.

After drinking the water, Li Yifei jumped into the river, catching over twenty fish. They hadn’t eaten much in a day and a night, and sure enough, they were hungry; the freshwater fish wouldn’t upset their stomachs so easily and provided a good meal.

He cleaned the fish and started a fire to grill them. Soon the aroma filled the air, and even before the fish were cooked, their mouths watered eagerly. Once the fish were done, they devoured them unsparingly. Even Su Mengxin gobbled like a ravenous wolf, caring little for appearances. Here, she didn’t need to mind her image, and with her stomach so empty, eating her fill was self-compassion.

"Brother-in-law, I want to take a bath, is that okay?" Xu Shanshan eyed the river, unable to resist the temptation. If she hadn’t been so exhausted, she would’ve jumped in long ago.

Li Yifei smiled, "Sure."

Xu Shanshan cheered and jumped into the water, with Su Mengxin and Michelle following right behind.

Watching the three play in the water stirred something in Li Yifei, but bathing with them seemed inconvenient, and leaving them was worrisome, so he could only sit by the river waiting for them.

"Brother-in-law, help me dry this!" With Xu Shanshan’s shout, a piece of fabric flew over.

Li Yifei hurriedly caught it, but upon grabbing it, was left dumbfounded—it was a flesh-colored pair of panties.
