Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 409 The Mystery of the Isolated Island 10

Qu Yi was somewhat surprised and wanted to say something, but Wen Luo directly reached out and pressed his hand against his lips, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Shh, don't speak yet."

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi nodded, and Wen Luo, seeing that he was quiet, took the opportunity to withdraw his hand.

Qu Yi lowered his eyes. His usually expressionless face was unusually flushed, though it wasn't very noticeable even though it wasn't dark.

However, Wenluo's eyes were not ordinary eyes; her mental power allowed her to see as clearly at night as during the day.

So she clearly saw his face and ears turn red, but she just smiled and didn't say anything.

At this point, the people behind also caught up, but when they heard no more footsteps, they stopped.

The leader was a tall, burly middle-aged man. He looked around expressionlessly and said, "The footsteps disappeared around here. They must be hiding. Search them."

"Yes!" The others accepted the order and began searching carefully.

People in the tree were also looking up, but they were using torches, so they couldn't see what was on the tree clearly.

The tree Wenluo chose was very tall; people standing on the ground at night couldn't see how tall it was.

Moreover, the group didn't seem to think anyone could climb such a tall tree so quickly.

So they were mostly searching on the ground.

After searching for a while without finding anyone, the group had no choice but to give up and go back.

After everyone left, Wenluo reached out his hand to Qu Yi: "I'll take you down!"

Qu Yi glanced at her hand. He had only grabbed her hand in a moment of desperation when they were running away during the day, and now he was hesitant to hold her hand directly.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll climb down slowly by myself!"

Wenlu raised an eyebrow: "It's pitch black, are you sure?"

"Okay, wait for me downstairs for a while," Qu Yi nodded.

"Okay, then be careful." Wenluo didn't insist, took the things he was carrying, and then jumped directly under the tree.

Qu Yi watched her movements, his eyes widening slightly, his heart racing a little. He only relaxed when he saw her land safely.

He snapped out of his daze, grabbed the branch, and scrambled down quickly.

Once Wenluo reached the ground, he noticed Wenluo's movements and thought to himself that Wenluo was quite agile.

Considering that he lived in the jungle year-round and worked every day, his physical strength was naturally excellent, as was his agility.

Before long, Qu Yi also reached the ground: "Let's go back!"

Wenluo nodded, and the two walked towards their residence. Qu Yi led the way, and she followed behind.

On the way, Qu Yi looked at her and hesitated several times, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Wenlu couldn't stand it anymore and asked him directly, "Just say what you want to say?"

"Are all the people outside as capable as you?" Qu Yi asked, then thought of those who had been arrested and realized that they probably weren't.

Wenlu shook his head and said, "Of course not, I also had some fortuitous encounters."

Qu Yi was just curious and didn't press further after hearing her words: "I see."

The journey was smooth, and they returned to their lodgings, where they even had a late-night snack before going to sleep.

After a period of peaceful coexistence, Wenluo and Quyi had grown accustomed to having each other's company.

They would go out to find food whenever they had the chance, either hunting for extra meals or fishing in the sea.

Both of them were quite daring, so they jumped into the sea for a swim and then looked for some seafood to change things up.

Wenlu thought back to when Wang Qiang and the others hadn't had the courage to go out to sea to find seafood, what a waste of these delicacies.

However, without professional equipment, it is still dangerous and difficult to do.

Qu Yi is physically fit; he grew up here.

She stared blankly at the sizzling squid on the stone slab, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

Here, apart from the somewhat rudimentary living conditions, there are also occasional chase games, so Wenluo feels that he is living a relatively free and easy life for the time being.

"It's ready to eat!" Qu Yi's deep, flat voice rang out.

Wenlu snapped out of her daze, took the squid wrapped in leaves from him, and took a bite: "Delicious."

The fresh squid was pan-fried until it was crispy and tender, while retaining its elasticity.

She ate very quickly, and Qu Yi kept adding more food to her plate. Wen Luo waved her hand, indicating, "You eat too, don't just focus on me."

"Eat more if you like. If it's not enough, I'll go for another trip to the sea later."

Wenlu shook his head: "No need, today's is enough. Go catch more if you want to eat."

After she finished eating, Qu Yi started eating. The two enjoyed the sea breeze and delicious food. Wen Luo felt that all that was missing was a deck chair and some wine.

The recliner was too extravagant, so she put her hands behind her back and took out two bottles of beer.

She pressed her thumb against the bottle cap and opened it with a little force, then handed one to Qu Yi: "Try it."

Qu Yi glanced at it twice, didn't ask any questions, took it directly, and took a sip.

Wenlu sat cross-legged on the large rock that had been moved there, took a sip of his wine, and found it to be absolutely delicious with the grilled squid.

After eating and drinking her fill, she felt a little sleepy, so she placed a mat under the shade of a tree, lay down, and prepared to sleep.

Looking at the person still sitting to one side, she asked, "Are you sleeping?"

Qu Yi shook his head. This was the first time he had met someone with such a carefree personality. He smiled and said, "You go to sleep. I'll keep watch over you."

Upon hearing this, Wenluo immediately closed his eyes, crossed his hands behind his head, and went to sleep.

As the sun gradually set in the west, a ray of sunlight shone on her face. Wenluo felt it was a little dazzling and frowned slightly.

Noticing this, Qu Yi moved to a different position to block the light for her. Only after seeing her relax did he turn around.

A few days later, Wen Luo was sitting in a tree eating wild fruit when Xiao Qi said, "Host, you can leave now. The story is over."

Upon hearing this, Wenluo paused, "The magnetic field here has been restored?"

"Yes, host, take a look for yourself."

As Xiao Qi finished speaking, Wen Luo looked around and saw that Qu Yi, who had been busy under the tree, was nowhere to be seen.

The entire jungle has changed; it looks like it has been untouched by humans, and the trees have become much denser.

She released her spiritual power and saw changes everywhere. As soon as she withdrew her gaze, she flashed to Qu Yi's residence.

Once inside, it looked like no one had lived there for a long time.

"Xiao Qi, does Qu Yi still exist?"

"Host, try looking for it; you should be able to find it."

After hearing this, Wenluo immediately closed his eyes and used his divine sense to search for Qu Yi's aura.

Not long after, she opened her eyes and looked at the person who floated in from outside the door—or rather, a spirit.

Qu Yi floated in the air, his expressionless face showing a slight change when he saw Wen Luo.

Wenlu smiled and extended his hand to him. Qu Yi hesitated, seemingly troubled: "I don't have a physical form right now."

"It's okay, give me your hand!" Perhaps it was because her voice was too gentle, or perhaps it was because she trusted her a lot.

Qu Yi handed her his hand without hesitation. He thought he would just pass through her hand, but he didn't expect to actually touch her and hold her hand.
