“He’s asleep.” Su looked up calmly, met Kazel’s gaze, and quickly withdrew her supernatural power, then casually placed her hand on Mu Qingyun’s shoulder.

This change in gesture actually made the two look even more intimate.

"..."

Looking at the two men's posture, Kazel narrowed his eyes. Would two men do such a thing? Probably not, unless they both had issues with their sexual orientation.

Or perhaps Su already knew that Mu Qingyun was a girl?

“He’s been too tired lately, let him rest for a while. You go back to your room and wait for a bit,” Sue said coldly, looking up at Kazel.

He disliked the mermaid, or rather, he was wary of her; she always made him feel like she could see right through him.

“Okay.” Kazel held the pearl in his hand and turned to leave, but as if he had thought of something, he paused for a moment, put the red pearl on the ground, and said, “Remember to give it to her.”

After putting his things away, he stood up and walked quickly into his room.

As Su watched him leave, she looked down at Mu Qingyun, thought for a moment, then moved Mu Qingyun off her lap, walked over to the five pearls, and picked them up.

All five pearls were of excellent quality, and they were rare red pearls. He held them up to the sunlight and examined them. The pearls shone brightly in the sunlight, and it was clear at a glance that they were priceless.

He held it in his hand and remained silent for a long time.

Thinking about how good Kazel was to Mu Qingyun, and considering that Kazel happened to be the mermaid Mu Qingyun liked, his eyes turned cold.

Mu Qingyun felt a strange kindness towards him, a kindness that was different from the kindness she showed towards Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye.

He seemed to have some inexplicable feelings about this kindness. He couldn't quite put his finger on these feelings, but he knew they were a bit abnormal.

Mu Qingyun is a man, and he is also a man. That's not right. His sexual orientation is normal!

But the pearl in his hand felt rough, like a scalding hot pearl, burning not only his hand but also his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to suppress the inexplicable emotions in his heart, quickly walked to Mu Qingyun's side, and put all five pearls on the ground.

Because of Kazel's sudden intrusion, he lost the will to explore Mu Qingyun's "secret". Mu Qingyun must have her reasons for not wanting to talk about it, and he didn't need to dig deeper.

"We're back."

Outside, Xiong Ruoyou and Fan Xuanye returned with a full load of prey. Before even entering the house, they shouted to let the people inside know they were back.

Xiong Ruoyou's loud voice woke Mu Qingyun up.

Mu Qingyun sat up reflexively and turned to look at Su, who was right in front of her. She had felt that warm current again when Su was asleep.

"Awake?" Su smiled at her and pointed to the five red pearls beside her. "These are from Kazel, as... accommodation fee."

Upon hearing this, she looked at the pearls, picked them all up, examined them in her hand, and her eyes were filled with joy and surprise.

She loved collecting rare and exotic items. In her previous life, she eventually ascended the throne, and many ministers showered her with beautiful women, handsome men, and precious objects.

The most interesting thing at the time was that a handsome man was wearing a feather skirt made of white peacock feathers. That feather skirt took a lot of manpower and effort to make and was considered a treasure at the time.

But such a precious item was actually worn by a man, who posed and flaunted himself in front of her like a peacock.

Sigh, thinking about it now, she still feels speechless.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that Mu Qingyun seemed lost in some memories, Su raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

"It's okay, I quite like this." She replied, and took out a small bag that Xiong Ruoyou had given her from her storage bag, carefully putting the red pearl inside.

Su watched silently as she put the pearls away, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "They're just five red pearls, and you like them so much?"

Hmph, once he gets out, he can still get black pearls, purple pearls, and pearls of all colors. After the first trial, he'll definitely get tons of pearls and smash them all in front of her.

"Did you turn off my live stream device?" Mu Qingyun looked down at the now-off live stream device on her wrist, then looked up at Su and asked.

"Okay, I turned it off for you since you were asleep." Su nodded, though she was very unhappy inside, she didn't show any emotion on the surface.

Upon hearing this, she pressed the button to turn on the live stream.

"I'm going out to take a look."

After a good night's sleep, all her fatigue disappeared. She propped herself up on her arms, stood up, and walked outside.

"Brother Mu, look, so much food!" Xiong Ruoyou held up a wild rabbit in her hand. She could pinch ten rabbits by the ears with one hand. With a lift of her hand, the rabbits were pulled by her, their legs kicking wildly, but they had no way to break free.

Oh, how cruel! These rabbits look so cute.

Indeed, rabbits are so cute, but they're about to be killed.

[I just started watching the live stream today and saw such cute rabbits, sob sob, please don't kill these rabbits!]

【No, where did these saints come from? It's just a few rabbits, what are you all making such a fuss about?】

There's nothing to eat on this deserted island, so what's wrong with eating a few rabbits? What, do you guys only eat protein powder normally?

[I'm speechless. I was just watching a live stream, and this happened. I'm really fed up. You guys are so easy to talk to when you're not in my shoes.]

...

"You guys clean it up first." Mu Qingyun glanced at the rabbits, walked to the pot, and carefully inspected the inside.

Although Su's tests didn't reveal anything, she was still a little worried.

"I'm back."

When it was time for dinner, Bai Feifei returned right on time. She glanced at Mu Qingyun, who was still unharmed in the house, and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?"

Based on her understanding of Mu Xueyao, Mu Xueyao would definitely not let this opportunity pass, so why does it seem like nothing is happening here?

"You seem surprised?" Mu Qingyun looked at Bai Feifei and raised an eyebrow. "What are you surprised about?"

"It's nothing." Bai Feifei quickly shook her head. Although she had doubts, she knew that now was not the time to ask questions.

"Let me lend a hand." Bai Feifei looked at the two people cleaning the rabbit, quickly stepped forward, rolled up her sleeves, and made a gesture as if she wanted to help.

"No need, just wait to eat." Xiong Ruoyou frowned and subconsciously refused. After all, it was food, and she felt more at ease having her own people prepare it.

Upon hearing this, Bai Feifei frowned, but then relaxed her brows the next moment. "Oh dear, didn't you say you wouldn't support idlers? If I didn't help, wouldn't I be an idler?"

"I'll definitely feed you," Fan Xuanye said coldly, "but you don't need to lift a finger. Besides, do you even know how to handle a rabbit?"
