Chapter 257 Lizard·Extra 2
One day, Liu Mei arrived at the island. Yu Mo had never told them the island's location, so she would visit them every now and then, exchanging food or medicine they'd caught. Liu Mei's arrival surprised her, and she secretly thought, "It's time to change places."
It wasn't that she didn't trust them, but rather that they lacked the credentials to trust her. Now, surviving on a deserted island, they needed the Lizardmen's help, whether it was for food or to ask for Min Xi's aid when other Lizardmen invaded. They had no reason to harm Min Xi. But after leaving here, or when benefits presented themselves, it was inevitable that they would have second thoughts.
Yu Mo looked calm as she and Min Xi arrived at Sun Island. It turned out that her seniors had found a strange plant that smelled like Sichuan peppercorns. Their tastes had been bland all winter, and the smell had made them eager to try it. The result was poisoning.
Yu Mo showed the plants to Min Xi. Min Xi smelled them, nodded to her, and then ran away. When she came back, she handed the picked herbs to Liu Mei. Liu Mei looked hesitant, and Yu Mo took them with a smile and handed them to Liu Mei.
"Boil it into water and let them drink it, the poison will be eliminated." Yu Mo said as she stood next to Min Xi.
Liu Mei thanked him.
After finishing the work, Liu Mei said, "Senior Brother has been trying to contact the outside world. Just the night before yesterday, a short message came through the satellite phone. It was Louis."
Yu Mo raised her eyebrows: "Is he holding Teacher Li's phone number?"
"The senior was the teacher's most proud student, and his assigned room was right next to his. He took advantage of the chaos to search the teacher's room and got his personal phone number. Louis was furious and scolded the teacher for cutting off contact with him. He also said a lot..."
Yu Mo thought of the dark face of her senior brother she saw when she came here, "Did they quarrel?"
Liu Mei's face was also not good: "We didn't expect that Louis was actually the investor of this project. He is a shareholder of Zhihe and seems approachable. Who would have thought that he and Teacher Li colluded to come up with these crappy experiments..." The voice became lower and lower, and Liu Mei said guiltily: "We were indeed impulsive in this matter, but we couldn't help it at the time. Afterwards, the signal was completely cut off. It must be his doing. We have completely lost the way to contact the outside world! Maybe there are even worse..."
"Now that we know the truth behind the experiment, Louis will definitely not let us go. He knows we are trapped here. Not only will he not send anyone to rescue us, he will also spread the news of our shipwreck and death, and we will completely disappear from society."
Yu Mo had never expected to get help from the outside world, so she couldn't say she was disappointed. "Even if he sent someone to rescue us, would you dare board his ship? The Devil's Sea is in the midst of a rainstorm. Outsiders can't get in, so it's actually safe for us. Don't worry, we'll find a way to leave after the rainstorm passes."
Yu Mo and Min Xi stayed on Sun Island for the entire morning, helping them identify the properties of the collected plants. Yu Mo never allowed Min Xi to communicate verbally in front of others, instead requiring him to gesture and she to guess. She didn't want more people to know about the Lizard People's abilities. Furthermore, these people were former researchers, possessing a passion for natural species, especially those with potential.
When she was leaving, Liu Mei came to see her off. She had nothing better to do on the island, so she spent her time weaving bracelets and earrings out of various flowers and plants. The wildflowers were fresh and tender, and the emerald green branches intertwined around Yu Mo's wrists. "I grew up in an orphanage. I was very stupid when I was little and was abandoned by my adoptive family. Later, I made it big and was admitted to the Zhihe Research Institute. I was under a lot of pressure there, afraid that if I didn't do well, my teachers and colleagues would look down on me. I had a hard time. But here, I feel comfortable. If I could, I really want to stay here forever."
Yu Mo listened with a smile. Liu Mei mustered up the courage to glance at Min Xi. The strong and tall lizardman standing before her was very oppressive. She took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, I was really scared... Sister Yu Mo, I wish you happiness. I don't have anything else, so consider this bunch of flowers as a wedding gift for you."
Getting married? Yu Mo was slightly stunned. She glanced at Min Xi, as if it was only at this moment that she felt it was real. She waved at Liu Mei and said, "Thank you for your gift. I will bring you some beautiful jewelry when I come again."
After leaving Sun Island, they didn't return the same way, but headed in the opposite direction to the island of Min Xi's brother. They arrived just in time. Min Xi's brother, the lizardman who had brought medicine to Yu Mo, was being attacked by several wild boars. The ice and snow had melted. Min Xi's brother, whom Yu Mo temporarily called Xiao Hei because his tail was brown and gradually black, had not had a good winter. He was skinny and his scales were bulging, making him look very ugly and scary.
He must have been starving, having left his cave to hunt, only to be attacked by equally hungry wild boars. The boar's tusks plunged fiercely into Xiao Hei's belly, which was covered only by a thin layer of soft scales, making it very soft and easily pierced. Min Xi had already run over, letting out a sharp howl.
Yu Mo quickly took out the bow and arrow, which she had asked Min Xi to make according to her drawing. The arrow body and bow were cut from some slightly elastic wood in the forest, and the bowstring was made of animal tendons. Yu Mo practiced frequently and had a good aim. The wooden arrow flew and hit the wild boar's hind leg directly. At this time, Min Xi also pounced over, bit the wild boar, and tore it in half in the blink of an eye.
The fight was over quickly. Xiao Hei lay in a pool of blood. Min Xi sat quietly beside him, without making any unnecessary movements. Xiao Hei took two breaths, struggled to drag the wild boar's corpse over, put it in his mouth and bit it hard. His mouth was covered in blood. After eating half the pig, Xiao Hei regained his strength.
The tail patted Min Xi's gently, and Xiao Hei turned and went into the dense forest. When he came out again, not only was there a slightly smaller female lizardman following him, but she also used a broad leaf to hold a bright flower and stuffed it into Min Xi's arms.
On Xiao Hei's island, a particularly sweet-smelling flower bloomed. Min Xi often came to pick it secretly. Xiao Hei had chased him away, but Min Xi was unfazed. Gradually, Xiao Hei turned a blind eye. Now that spring had arrived and the flowers were in full bloom, he guessed that Min Xi must have come here for the flowers. Sure enough, Min Xi was delighted, but he wasn't satisfied. He patted the ground with his tail, then patted him again. Xiao Hei bared his teeth in a threatening manner, but Min Xi remained undeterred and continued to pat the ground. Xiao Hei's tail twitched in annoyance, and he suddenly turned, his back to Min Xi, picked up the wild boar carcass, and sat down next to it with the female to enjoy it. Min Xi then picked up Yu Mo and ran deep into the dense forest.
…
Min Xi lay in the sea of flowers, eyes half-open, tail wrapped around Yu Mo's waist. The sea of flowers was filled with a sweet smell. Yu Mo picked a flower and chewed it. It tasted very fragrant, different from the choking smell of honey, but a very light sweet fragrance, not too greasy, which reminded her of fruit juice.
Yu Mo ate several flowers in one breath. Min Xi looked at her and slowly pulled back the tail around her waist. Yu Mo fell on his chest unexpectedly. Min Xi grinned, his chest shaking. Yu Mo was so angry that she punched him, "What are you doing!" She hit his scales and left red marks on the back of his hand.
"Gululu..." Min Xi put away his smile and looked at her tenderly. He took her fist and licked it carefully, a slight numbing sensation. His tongue was soft and moist, licking along the red mark, then moving to her arm. Her arm was pressed against a flower, stained with nectar. The light yellow nectar seemed to be sprinkled on her body like gold dust, shimmering in the sunlight, full of temptation.
"Gululu—" The voice began to change in pitch. At first, it was to soothe Yu Mo, to calm her down. Later, it took on a faint ingratiation, like a blade of grass scratching at her heart. Min Xi's voice became lower and lower, muffled, like a begging cub, humming and licking her arm, then her shoulder. The sharp teeth pricked her shoulder lightly, not hard, but it was numb, the kind of pain that was accompanied by an itch.
Yu Mo quickly covered his mouth, "Stop licking..." There was anger in her eyes, but her tone revealed shame: "Don't bite me!" She suddenly remembered that when she was tempted by Min Xi to do it in the beginning, she was a very rational person. If Min Xi hadn't secretly bit her and touched her with his teeth containing special hormones, she would never have reached that point with him!
Thinking of this, Yu Mo was filled with shame. She grabbed a handful of flowers and stuffed them into Min Xi's mouth. Min Xi's mouth was blocked by flowers and grass. He looked aggrieved. His tail was stubbornly wrapped around her waist, but he refused to be honest. He rubbed it gently, moved it, and slid down her waist to her legs. The tip of his tail was more flexible than his hand.
"Gululu..." Min Xi looked at her aggrievedly. He chewed and swallowed the flowers in his mouth, then another mouthful was stuffed in his mouth. He didn't refuse, and chewed and swallowed obediently. By the end, his mouth was full of the fragrance of flowers. He wanted it, and the gurgling sound in his throat became louder and louder, with a faint sense of urgent urging, to press against Yu Mo's mouth, letting her taste whether his taste was sweet, the sweetness soaked in flowers.
Yu Mo couldn't stand it any longer. Min Xi could be so clingy sometimes that it was unbearable. By the time she came to her senses, he was already back on the boat. The boat drifted on the sea, rising and falling with the waves. Through the cracks in the bed, Yu Mo saw the blue sky and white clouds, and the sea shimmering with golden lines. In front of her was a lizard man with emerald eyes. He had the most beautiful, cleanest, and most blazing eyes. Yu Mo grabbed Min Xi's arm, an arm covered with scales. The muscles under the scales bulged, sweat oozing out. Her palms felt sticky. Yu Mo tilted her head and pressed her lips against his. "Gululu—" Min Xi's voice was joyful and addicted, his eyes burning like fire, and his tail tightly wrapped around her legs, as if no one could drive him away from her and he wanted to die on her.
Yu Mo thought about what Liu Mei said and felt that maybe staying here was a good choice. She was very happy and felt more comfortable and joyful than ever before.
