They considered many possibilities, but they never expected an island to appear.
The island is about 200 meters away from the swamp and is located in the center of the lake. The island is covered with lush vegetation and looks like a green turtle lying there from a distance.
"Living on a deserted island has always been my dream, and I never thought I would actually have the opportunity to realize it."
Jiang Yining said, somewhat lost in thought.
“This island must have been in our blind spot before. If we were to take a boat, it would be much closer.”
“Then we need to hurry up and build the raft,” Chen Yang said.
After discovering the island, Chen Yang decided to end the trip and prepare to return home.
Once back, we'll hurry up and build a bamboo raft to explore the island.
Judging from the appearance of that island, it is rich in resources and is a good place to build a second base, where a leisure residence can be created.
The group returned to the swamp and retraced their steps.
Although they were carrying a crocodile, the group had become much more familiar with the swamp, so their return journey was no slower than their arrival.
"Holy crap, there's a snake."
Ye Wu found a snake, and the poor water snake became their trophy.
"It's so nourishing! If only we had wine, we could brew snake gall wine."
Ye Wu was very satisfied with his discovery.
They quickened their pace, making it out of the swamp before nightfall, then set up camp and began eating snake meat.
This snake is quite big, but it's barely enough for two people to eat.
The four divided the snake meat among themselves and then took out some dried meat.
"They're out of luck; this snake meat is really good."
After a hearty meal, the group left. However, they agreed not to tell the three people at the Xindu camp about the discovery of the island in the middle of the lake, as they wanted to give them a surprise.
"Did you find anything?"
The next day, Wang Bing asked them.
"No, we're getting ready to head back. Wait for our crocodile meat!"
They told Wang Bing and Jiang Bo about catching the crocodile, which greatly excited Wang Bing and Jiang Bo. However, Guo Zifeng didn't seem to care much, saying that he had eaten crocodile meat before.
Guo Zifeng happens to be staying at the Micro World Inn today, and he's brought his college sweetheart with him.
The female college student's name is Bai Jing. She is a junior at a three-year vocational college and is currently doing her internship. She is reportedly working as a teacher.
She was very curious as she watched Guo Zifeng and Chen Yang chat at the dinner table.
Guo Zifeng often took her to all sorts of banquets and parties. I've never seen Guo Zifeng so happy.
Moreover, the content of Guo Zifeng's conversation with them was incomprehensible to her, including things like hunting, raising fish, and barbecuing, which sounded like wilderness survival.
She knew she wasn't a clever woman, so she never interfered in Guo Zifeng's affairs. She also rarely asked him to do or buy her anything. This was one of the reasons Guo Zifeng liked her.
During her freshman year of college, she worked part-time as a hostess at a banquet event, and that's when she met Guo Zifeng.
After that, Guo Zifeng began to pursue her, and bluntly said that he wanted Bai Jing to be his mistress.
Bai Jing is very beautiful and has a good personality. She has many suitors in college, including many wealthy young men. But somehow, she accepted the advances of this man who could almost be her father.
She still doesn't dare to face her parents' questions about whether she has found a partner.
Bai Jing's parents are both teachers with traditional thinking. She knows that if her parents find out she is a mistress, they might sever ties with her.
Just as the group was chatting happily, the sound of rapid high heels clicking on the floor came from behind them, causing everyone to look over involuntarily.
A middle-aged woman wearing a black wool coat, red high heels, and adorned with jewels strode towards them.
She walked up to Bai Jing and raised her hand to slap her.
Bai Jing shrank her head, but didn't dare to dodge.
Guo Zifeng grabbed the woman's hand.
"What, I, the legal wife, can't even slap the mistress?"
Guo Zifeng said coldly, "If you want to throw a tantrum, go home and do it. Don't embarrass me."
The middle-aged woman scoffed, "What, you think I'm shameful, but you're not shameful for having a mistress?"
The woman's identity is obvious; she is clearly Guo Zifeng's wife.
"It's shameful, but it's better than you cheating on your husband."
Guo Zifeng placed his hand on the woman's hand, but the woman's hand froze in place, and her originally arrogant face turned deathly pale.
"What, are you surprised?" Guo Zifeng sneered.
"You really think I don't know? I'm just ashamed. You've hidden it well, but do you really think I'm stupid?"
The woman stammered, "I...I..."
Guo Zifeng shook his head and said, "I originally wanted to bear with it and wait until my daughter went to college. Now that it's all out in the open, let's be decisive and get a divorce. You can have half of the family property if you want."
The woman seemed surprised that Guo Zifeng would say such a thing. She had only heard from a friend that Guo Zifeng had been frequently visiting the inn recently, and she wanted to catch him in the act and teach him a lesson.
Guo Zifeng sneered, "Don't think you can get much. I transferred most of my assets to my father's name a few years ago. But what's left is enough for an ordinary person to live on for a lifetime."
Upon hearing this, the woman's face turned even paler.
Enough for an average person to live on for a lifetime? That would only be enough for her for a few years, unless she wanted to live an ordinary life.
At her age, remarriage is already very difficult. Although her family is relatively wealthy, it's not enough for her to maintain her current luxurious lifestyle.
"Guo Zifeng, I don't agree to a divorce, and don't forget, our daughter is about to take the college entrance exam. Do you want to affect her for the rest of her life?"
The woman cried out, her voice shrill.
Guo Zifeng sighed and said, "I've seen a lot of these worldly things lately. Even if Hui'er's grades don't go her way, she can still get into a prestigious university. I'm not forcing anything. Haven't our arguments affected her enough?"
"I……"
"Alright, enough nonsense. If you don't want a divorce, then let's go to court. I'm not afraid to produce the evidence that you cheated on me. If you have any shame, then just go ahead and get a divorce."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Jing and said, "Bai Jing, don't think of yourself as a mistress. You're not the one who ruined our marriage. After you divorce her, I'll go with you to get the marriage certificate."
Bai Jing looked hesitant. After all, she was just a junior college student, and getting a marriage certificate was too realistic for her to accept.
However, she still nodded slightly. Regardless of whether they got married later, she couldn't let Guo Zifeng lose face now.
Guo Zifeng's wife was so angry she couldn't speak. She stared at Bai Jing with vicious eyes, as if she wanted to devour her.
"Miss, are you staying at the hotel? If not, please leave."
Chen Yang suddenly said.
“I don’t want to stay in this den of iniquity either. Guo Zifeng, you’d better think this over carefully. You’ve bribed quite a few people in your business dealings over the years, and I have plenty of evidence.”
Guo Zifeng scoffed, "I only offered a bribe, I didn't commit murder or arson. If you're not afraid of death, go ahead and report me. Do you think you can touch those people, you stupid woman?"
Guo Zifeng's wife's face stiffened, and then she turned and walked out of the inn.
Everyone looked at Guo Zifeng with strange expressions.
"What, it's just a divorce? Why do you all look at me like I'm watching a TV drama?"
