Chapter 6 The Empty Island and the Hermit

  The faint sound of the wind blew in her ears as Lily slowly opened her eyes.

  "Cough, cough, cough," the dryness of her throat caused Lily to cough repeatedly, accompanied by a confused brain and the inability to focus her vision made Lily want to vomit, but her empty stomach made vomiting a luxury, and she could only dry-heave endlessly for a while before she could get her breath back.

  Finally, the vision managed to focus and Lily rolled over and sat up, her eyes met with a glimpse of white clouds and the blue sky above.

  "Is this heaven? I didn't think someone like me could go to heaven, I thought I'd go to hell." Lily snorted a laugh and lay down immediately afterward, since it was heaven then she could take a rest herself right, I wonder if that guy Kaido managed to survive.

  "Though I hate to interrupt your fantasy, this is not heaven." The sudden appearance of a pale male voice startled Lily, jumping up almost instantly, but then planting herself back down immediately afterward as her legs gave out.

  "Take it easy little girl, I'm not a bad person, you've got muscle strains in both arms and legs, and fractures in your left calf and right arm, so if you want to get well sooner you should lie down properly." The pale male voice reappeared, and Lily finally realized who was speaking, right behind herself, an old man in a black robe with a hooded head and long white beard was sitting cross-legged, stirring something.

  "Who are you? Where am I?" Lily said as she struggled to get up again, while her left hand slowly felt for the long knife at her waist.

  "Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, it's an empty island if you're here, as for who I am well, you can call me Hermit, after all, a name or something is just a code name." The old man, or hermit slowly waved his hand, "Also, I told you to lay back when you're injured, that little knife of yours is useless to me."

  "Empty Island?" Lily obviously didn't fully believe the old man in front of her, her left hand still clutching the long knife behind her.

  "Yes Empty Island, as the name suggests, an island in the sky, just now I was fishing in the White White Sea, and I didn't expect to catch you up, hahahahahahaha, what a coincidence." The hermit laughed cheerfully while handing over the bowl in his hand, "Drink this, it's good for your body."

  Lily's mouth twitched as she looked at the oozy black stuff in the bowl in front of her.

  "What? Afraid I'll poison you? If I wanted to move you I would have done it last night, besides, against a little girl like you, even if you are intact you are no match for me, hahahahahaha, drink it." The hermit, perhaps seeing what was in Lily's mind, explained indifferently.

  Looking in front of more like poison than medicine, Lily's mind a few struggles, the hermit is right, if he wants to harm their own long ago harm, do not need to wait for their own wake up, and again, their own life was even picked up, the big deal is just a death, figured out Lily picked up the bowl in front of him, gulp gulp gulp two big mouth swallowed.

  Strange to say, although this medicine does not look good, smell also has a kind of slightly pungent, but drink to the mouth has a kind of fragrance, along with the medication served, Lily obviously feel themselves from the mouth to the stomach comfortable quite a lot, followed by

  "Burp-" Lily burped heavily, and with the burp, Lily felt the dizziness in her brain disappear again.

  "There, much more comfortable after drinking the medicine, it's not a good idea to always stay here, come on, I'll take you to my place to take care of your leg." Seeing the hiccuped Lily, the hermit stood up with a pat on his thigh, that's when Lily realized that this old hermit was so tall, Lily herself was 3.5 meters up and down, and she was not yet an adult, there was still a chance for her to grow taller, but the old man in front of her was less than five meters away.

  Only to see the hermit reach out a hand to grab Lily's belt and directly carry Lily on his shoulder.

  "Go!" The hermit let out a low gulp, and immediately afterward, Lily felt the scenery in front of her constantly changing, and in just a few breaths of effort, a white house appeared in front of the two of them.

  "There it is, hey, what an old man, so few steps to be so slow to come back." The hermit mumbled to himself as he opened the door to the room in front of him, while this Versailles words made Lily feel a pang of speechlessness, she hadn't even managed to figure out how he did it herself, and this was a step back in the eyes of the old man.

  The hermit just carried Lily into the house, the house is not big, a small living room inside a huge couch like a cloud, in addition to only the floor put all kinds of books, the hermit carried Lily around the books, opened a door and walked in, here should be a bedroom, a neat bed, a desk, the same pile of books.

  "Lie down here for a moment, I'll go get you some hot water and clothes, hopefully they have something you can wear on their hands." The hermit slowly laid Lily down on the bed, bowing his head he turned and prepared to leave, "Oh, don't run around, don't rummage around, I won't be able to remember where I saw if I do, if you're sleepy get some sleep."

  After saying the last sentence, the hermit left, Lily could even hear the sound of the hermit closing the door, in fact up to now Lily was still a bit confused, holding the determination of certain death to send Kaido out, only to wake up to find that he had arrived at a place called Hollow Island, and then was rescued by an old man he had never seen before, moreover, through the movement that he had just made, the strength of this old man was not something to be underestimated, and now this old man had also brought himself unguarded into his home. Now this old man even brought himself into his house without any defense, are all the people on this empty island so warm?

  Thought for half a day, Lily also did not understand all this, simply do not want to, anyway, now this kind of himself is not much ability to resist, listen to God's fate, and then a crooked head will fall asleep.

  This sleep of the sky dark, woke up again when it seems to have been dark, and at the same time the door of the house was opened, the hermit poked his head and looked in.

  "Oh! Woke up from sleep ah, hahaha, sorry sorry sorry, I didn't call you because I saw you sleeping soundly." After saying that the hermit turned around and shouted, "Kiki! Anna! This girl is awake, you guys do us a favor."

  With the hermit's words he sidestepped and let in two girls, magically both had a pair of wings behind them.

  "You're awake, my name is Kiki." The blue haired girl said with a smile.

  "I'm Anna." The other girl with black hair yawned a sleepy face.

  "Hi guys, I'm Lily, Rose Lily." Lily said hello as well, but her eyes still drifted unconsciously to the wings behind the two.

  "Kiki, Anna, why don't you two help her to a bath, and get changed while I get some medicine," the hermit said with a wave of his hand, "Oh yeah, and you, don't look, they're Hollow Islanders, and their wings are natural, like the horns on your Ghosts' heads, and if you need anything, come back here and ask again, and Go and take a bath first, isn't it hard to be covered in salt essence? Go quickly."

  Lily helplessly swallowed her words back and nodded, bouncing towards the door with the help of Kiki and Anna, there was no way around it, although the two girl's were also very tall, it was indeed a bit difficult for them to support the 355cm Lily at 175cm, so the two of them could only support Lily all the way into the bathroom.
