"Quick, let's go take a look!" Xingxing said impatiently.
"Wait, we can't reveal ourselves yet. Let's find out who they are first," Zhu Lin said cautiously.
Yokoyama also heard the sound. She quickly walked closer and said in a low voice, "If the people living on the island are not natives, they are pirates. We'd better be careful."
Zhu Lin remained noncommittal, leading Xingxing swiftly forward. They then hid behind a large tree, looking down at the people below. Indeed, they were standing on the mountain, looking down at the people below.
There are many houses at the foot of the mountain, and roughly speaking, there should be several hundred people living on this island. On the beach, there are hundreds of people working, seemingly carrying things onto the boat.

Yokoyama glanced at Zhu Lin again. The latter's expression was indifferent, seemingly acknowledging the princess's words. Yokoyama felt relieved and dared to cautiously leap over, but she didn't approach, stopping two meters away from the two.
