When Xiong Ruoyou finally raised her head, Mu Qingyun's collar was completely wet, though not soaked through.

"Can we go back now?"

Mu Qingyun reached out and supported Xiong Ruoyou's arm, helping her to her feet. To be honest, after all that commotion, she was really hungry.

Inside the cave, Fan Xuanye was so hungry that he transformed into a snake, coiling himself up and clinging tightly to the ground.

Upon hearing a noise outside, he immediately sprang to his feet and headed out of the cave.

Therefore, as soon as Xiong Ruoyou, who was "holding the pass alone," entered the cave, he was met by a huge bamboo viper. Its body was as thick as a bowl, and its amber vertical eyes looked coldly at everyone.

"Wow--"

Xiong Ruoyou screamed and immediately became alert.

"What's wrong with you? What are you yelling about?"

Fan Xuan Ye was also startled by Xiong Ruo You's shout, and transformed into human form, staring speechlessly at the person in front of him.

"How come your original form is so ugly!" Xiong Ruoyou glanced at him with disdain and took a few steps back. "Not only ugly, but also scary."

“Heh,” Fan Xuanye was furious upon hearing this. “Black Bear, how dare you talk to me like that? With your original form, you should never walk alone at night, or you’ll scare a bunch of people to death.”

"Pfft." Listening to the two bickering, Su couldn't help but chuckle softly. He leaned closer to Mu Qingyun and whispered, "They're both equally bad, still mocking each other. It's really quite amusing."

Mu Qingyun watched the two of them start hurling insults at each other again, then lowered her gaze and said, "The two of them are actually quite a good match."

"Do they... deserve it?" Su frowned, puzzled. "Even bickering lovers shouldn't act like this. Shouldn't you do something about it?"

"Mind your own business?" Mu Qingyun glanced at Xiong Ruoyou and shook her head slightly. "No matter what, Xiong Ruoyou has just calmed down, it's good for her to have a little argument with Fan Xuanye."

Anyway, the two of them were just making a lot of noise by mocking each other, but that didn't do any harm.

[Huh, Mu Qingyun's live stream started automatically?]

[It seems like an hour has passed; the live stream administrator has opened it.]

[Brother Mu, I love your fiery temper, I support you!]

[Brother Mu, please don't shut down your livestream so easily in the future. Yours is more dramatic, and I like watching that kind of drama.]

[Exactly. Military academies are all about guts and courage. I graduated from one, and every time we went through three rounds of trials, the graduates still didn't dare to kill anyone; they needed their officers to force them. Many of my batch were like paper tigers.]

"Oh, so you're from a military academy? Can I ask you some questions? If my superpowers weren't so weak, I'd apply to military academy too."

[I've always been puzzled as to why Su was able to get into the military academy's trial. When I went, I wasn't accepted, even though my abilities are about the same as Su's.]

[Actually, I've always wanted to say that Su's skill level is probably that of most residents. Maybe he was allowed in because his water quality is exceptional?]

"You keep an eye on their orders, I'll go cook." Mu Qingyun gave Su a brief explanation before returning to the cave and taking out all the blackfish and lobsters from the storage bag.

Looking at the aquatic animals scattered all over the ground, she sighed softly.

There were originally many more rabbits, but in our haste to save Su, we just threw them on the ground.

It's such a pity that she and Xiong Ruoyou wasted so much time.

After skillfully cleaning up the food, Fan Xuanye and Xiong Ruoyou almost simultaneously shut their mouths when the aroma from the pot wafted out.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to stop arguing for now; filling their stomachs was the priority.

Mu Qingyun finished serving the food, and when she turned her head, she saw the two of them staring longingly at the bowl in her hand, looking like they were about to rush at her at any moment.

"Stop arguing?" She handed the bowl to Su, looking at the two of them with a light laugh. "You two are quite clever; you stop arguing when it's time to eat."

"His food is nothing compared to mine." Xiong Ruoyou snorted irritably, took a few quick steps to her side, and grabbed her arm. "Can you get me more? I'm so hungry."

"Okay." She couldn't help but chuckle softly, and picked up the bowl meant for Xiong Ruoyou, scooping out an extra spoonful of broth and blackfish meat from the pot.

Wow, he spoils her so much.

It's so sweet, it's unbearably sweet.

[OMG, the Qingyou couple is amazing! You guys need to check the trending topics, they're already on the list!]

Wow, this couple is going viral!

[I'm not saying anything more, I'm buying a house now, this is just too adorable.]

[Our loan application has finally been approved, so it seems my previous choice was right!]

...

"It smells so good! I haven't smelled this aroma in ages. I'm so hungry."

Bai Feifei clutched her stomach. They had run out of protein powder and had to go out to hunt for food in order to survive.

"There's actually a cave over there!" Mu Xueyao looked at the cave not far away in surprise. The aroma emanating from the cave was so tempting that she couldn't help but swallow.

"Someone actually found the cave, tsk, why don't we chase the people out of there, then we'll have a place to stay." Deng Yijie narrowed his eyes and said excitedly.

Since arriving in the cave, they have been living in the treetops, not only unable to sleep well every day, but also having to be wary of possible attacks from the insectoid race.

“No, we can’t kick them out. That’s impolite. After all, they found us first. Let’s talk to them nicely. If that doesn’t work, we can exchange them for bottled water.” Mu Xueyao smiled gently and earnestly corrected Deng Yijie’s words.

Wow, our princess is so gentle.

[Still such a lovely, gentle, and beautiful young lady!]

Wait, didn't you guys notice that the cave ahead looks familiar?

[What looks familiar? There are several caves on the island, don't they all look the same?]

I have a guess, but I'm not sure if I should say it.

[To the person upstairs: I have the same guess as you. I have a feeling it's going to get really dramatic.]

"Hmph, Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. It's all about survival in the wilderness. Whoever gets the supplies keeps them. Your Highness, you don't need to move. I'll go." Deng Yijie raised his head, and to show off his masculinity, he even used some of his special abilities.

The wind blew up his clothes, and his arm, which had been injured by Mu Qingyun, was still wrapped in bandages. The wind lifted his clothes, revealing his injured arm, which looked rather comical.

Hearing his words, Mu Xueyao did not refute them, but a flash of smugness appeared in her eyes.

She wanted a cave and didn't want to make do with living in the treetops anymore, but she couldn't say it herself. She'd have to try to persuade her later, depending on the situation.

Bai Feifei, who was standing to the side, turned her head to look at Mu Xueyao this time and saw the smug look that had not yet faded from Mu Xueyao's eyes.

Gritting her teeth, Bai Feifei hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "That's right, we'll go rob it later. Your Highness, you don't need to think about others, you should also think about yourself."
