24 The Exasperated Island Owner

"Answer it. He must be worried about your safety. Tell him that you're safe so that he won't worry any longer."

It was only then that Cai Er answered the call. On the other end of the video call, there was actually a person wearing a grass skirt with disheveled hair and dirty face. He almost looked like one of the barbarians that Cai Er had been talking about.

Seeing Cai Er answer the video call, the barbarian-lookalike island owner said excitedly, "Cai Er, you're fine mpw. Do you know that I was worried sick? Look, I now can eat a full meal and wear warm clothes. Just look around me. Isn't my island beautiful?"

As the video feed panned around, a scene that looked like an African prairie appeared in Guo Li's line of sight. No wonder the other party said that he could eat a full meal and wear warm clothes, there really was nothing there on his island in terms of environment or resources. It could be said that the other person was eking out a poor and stable existence.

The other party was obviously very excited. He did not even take a clear look at Cai Er's current environment and the situation around her.

He continued to introduce his island and regale her about how he solved his problem of food and clothing, as if it was a huge matter.

"Cai Er, I've thought it through. I'll definitely bring you to my island and make your Rainbow Island my subsidiary island. In the future, you'll be able to live comfortably with me without having to worry about your safety."

When Cai Er heard this, she frowned and even looked at the person in the video call with some disgust. The other party actually wanted to take control of her Rainbow Island.

The other party continued, "Oh right, Cai Er, I want you to come to my island and live a happy life. I even told a few of my good brothers that I've confessed to you. I want you to be the happiest woman and my wife here on this island."

At this point, the island owner suddenly noticed the surrounding environment on Cai Er's side. At this moment, she was wearing a white gauze skirt and was leaning against a young man while eating a delicious seafood feast. In the steaming pot, there were even two lobster heads that were constantly churning about.

When the barbarian-lookalike island owner saw this scene, his eyes almost popped out. His goddess was actually leaning against another man, eating seafood and enjoying the sun on the beach!

He was both envious and extremely angry. How could there be such a beautiful island? The food they were eating was actually the seafood that he had constantly dreamed of. He thought back to his shabby hut and the food he ate… Coarse grains, black bread, and plain steamed buns. Every meal was the same as the last. Occasionally, he would even use some leaves to make soup to satisfy his hunger.

"F*ck!"

The barbarian-lookalike island owner was immediately enraged. He cursed before asking, "Cai Er, who is the person beside you? Why is he beside you? Where is that island?"

Guo Li had been watching the video call the whole time. He had observed that island owner from the moment the latter was in high spirits up till when he had become furious. He knew that the other party had become furious because the latter saw his island and Cai Er leaning against him. He chuckled and shook his head.

Cai Er turned her head and asked Guo Li for his opinion. If Guo Li did not allow her to reveal her situation, Cai Er would not dare to talk about it.

Guo Li smiled and nodded at Cai Er.

Cai Er then said to the island owner, "Wild Island Lord, thank you for your concern. I'm doing quite well now. It's very safe here on Fishing Island. The island owner here treats me very well and has enough food to share. I won't be going over to your place. Please don't contact me in the future."

After listening to Cai Er's words, the island owner's anger rose from the bottom of his heart. He was filled with anger. Just now, in order to show off to Cai Er, he had even specially brought out a black steamed bun that had just come out of the pot. He was so angry that it fell to the ground. He stomped on it twice. At the same time, he quickly searched for Guo Li's ID. When he found out that the other party was actually a novice, he became even more furious. He was a level 10 experienced player, but he was actually inferior to a newbie. This was simply unreasonable!

However, when he thought about how rich the resources on the island seemed to be, Wild Island's owner could not come up with any solutions. He could only angrily hang up the video call and sulk.

Cai Er saw that the other party had hung up the video call and said apologetically to Guo Li, "Guo Li, I'm sorry. You're not angry, are you?"

Guo Li secretly laughed and wanted to tease Cai Er. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I be angry? We're just ordinary friends."

After Cai Er heard that, she secretly cursed Guo Li and could not help but say, "You're really a blockhead!"

After saying that, she pouted and went to clean up the dishes like a virtuous daughter-in-law. When Big Baby saw this, he hurriedly came forward and said, "I'll do it. These tasks are usually done by me."

Cai Er did not want to relent; she wanted to clean it up herself. Big Baby was afraid and turned to look at Guo Li. When he saw his master nod slightly, Big Baby retreated to the side and waited.

Guo Li quietly watched Cai Er tidy up the things. Suddenly, he felt that his small island was indeed lacking a diligent and thrifty island madam. However, Guo Li did not think too deeply about it. Whether he accepted Cai Er or not still depended on whether she truly intended to follow him.

The two of them ate and drank their fill. Cai Er then suggested taking a walk on the beach. With such a beautiful beach, it would be a waste not to take a walk around.

Guo Li got up and followed Cai Er on her beach walk. The saltwater crocodile was secretly watching over them from a distance.

The two of them enjoyed this beautiful moment of peace on the breezy beach. Cai Er reached out and grabbed Guo Li's hand. The two of them interlocked their fingers. Cai Er suddenly said to Guo Li, "Guo Li, have you heard of a particular ancient saying?"

Guo Li shook his head. He did not know what Cai Er was talking about or what her words implied.

After Cai'er heard his reply, she held Guo Li's hand tighter and stepped onto the foreshore section of the beach. There were some small crabs around them. When they saw Cai Er and Guo Li approach, they quickly hid inside their holes and shivered.

Cai Er faced the sea breeze. The setting sun shone on the two of them, creating a long shadow. They left two pairs of footprints as they walked on the beach, which disappeared after being washed away by the lapping waves.

Cai Er brushed her hair back, which had been scattered by the sea breeze, and whispered into Guo Li's ear, "Guo Li, in ancient times, when a typical hero saves a beauty. What should the beauty's reply be?"

Guo Li raised his eyebrows and said, "If the one who saved the beauty was a hero, the beauty would usually say, 'Thank you for saving me, hero. I have no idea how to repay you, so I will give myself to you!'"

After Guo Li said this, Cai Er smiled like a crescent moon. Guo Li then asked, "Then do you know what the other version is like?"

Cai Er smiled and shook her head. She did not know what Guo Li meant by that. Her beautiful eyes stared at him.

Guo Li sighed and slowly continued, "If the one who saved the beauty was not a hero, then the beauty would definitely say, 'Thank you for saving my life, hero. I can't repay you, so I can only be your slave in my next life!'"
