Chapter 13 You're Too Slow The mountain forest was exceptionally quiet. Occasionally, the cries of unknown birds or beasts could be heard, but aside from that, only the crackling of the fire broke the silence. Rong Qi leaned back against the stone wall, his feet resting on the warm, fire-baked ground near the pit. Every now and then, he tossed a few dry branches into the flames. His gaze kept drifting toward Gu Yunxing. “The sixth one from the left is crooked.” Gu Yunxing paused and adjusted…-

Chapter 12 Building Fences As Walls After a brief rest, the two continued on their way. They walked and paused intermittently for several hours before finally reaching their destination. Rong Qi found an open patch of ground, set down the crippled man he was carrying, and pointed at the cliff wall ahead. “How about that?” Just as Rong Qi had described, the cliff slanted inward at the bottom, forming a triangular recess large enough for two people to huddle inside. If the rain wasn't heavy, sheltering…

Chapter 11 A Storm Was Approaching A few more days passed, and Rong Qi's health had improved significantly. “I'm almost fully recovered from my illness. It's so boring staying here. Tomorrow, I'll go to the forest!” Gu Yunxing: “Alright, we'll set off together then.” Rong Qi's gaze fell on Gu Yunxing's injured leg. “You've been walking for days. Are you not going to rest that leg?” Gu Yunxing: “Thank you for your concern, Right Protector. As long as I use a crutch and take it slow, it…

Chapter 10 Bone-piercing Silver Needle The fever lasted for three whole days. Rong Qi’s condition fluctuated, sometimes improving and sometimes worsening. During his worst episode, he even started speaking deliriously. This cycle of ups and downs lasted three days before his condition finally stabilized. Later, even Gu Yunxing developed a slight nasal tone in his voice, though it wasn't too severe. Rong Qi had lost a lot of weight. He was already slender to begin with, but now he had lost another…

Chapter 9 Helping Each Other When Rong Qi woke up, he heard the crackling sound of burning wood. He opened his eyes and felt as if his body had no strength at all. His throat was parched, and his mind was foggy. The fire nearby was blazing brightly. On the opposite side, a simple rack held their outer robes, left to dry. Rong Qi lowered his head and noticed he was only wearing his inner garments. However, with the fire nearby, he didn't feel too cold. “If you're thirsty, drink some water,” Gu…

Chapter 8 Thunderstorm After four days and three nights of getting used to each other, a semblance of peaceful coexistence finally began to emerge between Rong Qi and Gu Yunxing. Every day, Rong Qi would explore the island, and at dusk, he would return to the cabin with water, food, and firewood. Meanwhile, Gu Yunxing took advantage of the warm daylight to catch up on sleep and rest, hoping for a full recovery soon. Life on the deserted island was dull and monotonous. There was no sign of anyone else…

Chapter 7 Rather Freeze to Death The wild rabbit had already been dealt with by the stream. Gu Yunxing, without hesitation, began to start a fire in front of Rong Qi. Rong Qi sat beside him, openly observing his movements, clearly intending to learn the skill. After a short while, smoke began to rise slowly, and a little while later, small flames flickered between the branches. Soon, a fire was blazing. Rong Qi said curiously, “I tried it yesterday, but all I got was smoke, no fire.” Gu Yunxing…

Chapter 6 Superficial Harmony Rong Qi knew that Gu Yunxing had found out. This left him feeling quite irritated. He could almost predict what Gu Yunxing was going to say next. It would surely be something along the lines of making him work like an ox or a horse, with no room to refuse. “If we don't leave now, we'll really freeze.” Contrary to his expectations, Gu Yunxing didn't seize the opportunity but instead changed the subject, dropping the matter altogether. As if to echo Gu Yunxing's words,…

Chapter 5 Drilling Wood to Make Fire Rong Qi decided to make use of the daylight and head into the woods to find shelter. With any luck, he might even come across some wild animals to fill his stomach. Now free of his ‘burden,’ his pace quickened considerably. He soon reached the stream he had discovered yesterday. Cupping his hands, he drank a few mouthfuls of water, then splashed some on his face. His luck wasn't too bad. After only a few steps, he came across a few wild creatures. They…

Chapter 4 Extremely Cold Night Rong Qi groped along the battered hull of the ship, utterly disappointed. He didn't have the strength to speak again. Leaning against the side, he slowly slid down to the ground. Gu Yunxing wasn't much better off. His injured leg couldn't take any more strain. Although he had already sealed the pressure points to stop the bleeding, tendon and bone injuries were never something that could heal instantly. “Let's take shelter inside first,” Gu Yunxing said, only to realize…
