After receiving unanimous agreement from all the clan leaders, Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Clan Leader Sheruojia and instructed, "Sheruojia, please inform all clan members who are currently outside to return to the island as soon as possible."
Sheruojia obeyed the order and immediately replied, "No problem, Island Master, I'll go and relay the message right away." A moment later, he reported, "Island Master, I've already notified them. However, the Alpha team is quite far away, and they are expected to need about a day to get back."
Chen Ping expressed his understanding and nodded, saying, "A day isn't too long. We can wait until everyone is back in the team before taking action. Alright, meeting adjourned."
Then, Chen Ping activated the portal, his figure disappearing into the light, his mind already contemplating how to comfort the distraught Gabriel. Meanwhile, Lu Shu, Linafil, Anlula, and the others who remained behind watched Chen Ping's departing figure, exchanging puzzled glances.
Linafil suddenly smiled and said, "I think our Heart of the Divine Island may soon have a joyous occasion." Upon hearing this, Deer Tree, Anlula, and the others were puzzled and wondered what the joyous occasion she was referring to was.
Lu Shu speculated, "A happy event? Could it be referring to our collective success in ascending to the level of Creator Gods? This is indeed a great thing worth celebrating."
Linafeel smiled mysteriously, but instead of revealing the answer, she suggested, "Deer Tree, the idea of holding a banquet you mentioned is indeed a good one. Now that we have all reached new heights, we should hold a grand celebration, not only to celebrate our breakthrough, but also to unite all our people and demonstrate the cohesion and prosperity of the Heart of the Divine Island."
Everyone agreed to hold a grand banquet after all the tribespeople returned to the island to celebrate their ascension to the status of creator gods and to demonstrate the unity and power of the heart of the divine island. Thus, the tribal chiefs immediately began preparing for this momentous celebration, eagerly anticipating the joyous occasion.
......
Standing outside the portal, Chen Ping gazed at the familiar villa ahead, a sense of unease rising in his heart. He wasn't sure what Gabriel was feeling at that moment, and worried whether she was still angry about what had happened earlier. If he went back now, would he be scolded or "punished"? Chen Ping hesitated at the door for a moment, unable to take the step to enter the house.
After standing outside for a while, Chen Ping didn't hear Gabriel's call. He raised his eyebrows slightly, puzzled. Come to think of it, Gabriel, being in the heart of the divine island, didn't need to constantly maintain a divine connection to the outside world. After all, this was their safe haven, free from sudden crises.
Furthermore, with the protection of the World Tree, the possibility of interference from foreign assassins is almost eliminated.
In addition, the Heart of the Divine Island also has an island alarm. Once an anomaly occurs, it will trigger an alarm. Although only Chen Ping can respond in time, it is enough to ensure the safety of the entire Divine Island.
At this moment, Chen Ping realized that Gabriel might not have noticed his return, so he sorted out his thoughts and decided to muster up the courage to go into the house and communicate honestly with Gabriel to resolve the misunderstanding.
After entering, I glanced around the lobby on the first floor. Hmm, I didn't see anyone. It seems Gabriel isn't on the first floor, so she must be on the second floor.
After glancing at the stairs, Chen Ping slowly walked up, carefully trying not to make any noise.
Soon, Chen Ping arrived at his room. Looking at the closed door, Chen Ping made all sorts of guesses about what Gabriel was like inside, but in the end, he had to open it to find out.
Looking at the doorknob, Chen Ping swallowed hard, then reached out, took a deep breath, and decisively opened it. He wouldn't have had the courage to hesitate any longer.
Squeak~
He opened the door, but no one was there! Hmm? Chen Ping was now puzzled. Where had Gabriel gone?
Looking at the empty room, Chen Ping walked in while thinking. He sat down on the bed and began to ponder.
As he was thinking, Chen Ping lay down, intending to lie down and think. But then, wow, he was very familiar with that soft feeling. Chen Ping stiffly twisted his neck.
Hiss~
He gasped softly, realizing he had overlooked this obvious fact because Gabriel had covered her head. Chen Ping gently lifted a corner of the blanket, and sure enough, Gabriel's peaceful and sweet sleeping face came into view.
Gabriel's face appeared especially pure and flawless in her sleep, as serene and beautiful as a fairy under the moon. Her long, golden hair was casually scattered on the white pillow, adding to her captivating charm.
Her tightly closed eyes curved like crescent moons, her eyelashes casting soft shadows on her cheeks, exuding a static beauty. Her even breathing, like a melody in a nocturne, spoke of peace and tranquility. The rosy glow on her cheeks appeared even more delicate under the soft light, presenting a sacred charm that transcended the hustle and bustle of the world.
Chen Ping was mesmerized. Sure enough, no matter how many times he looked at it, he found it extremely beautiful.
As he watched, Chen Ping felt sleepy. Without thinking, he took off his coat, lay down, and instinctively hugged Gabriel before falling asleep.
Hearing the delicate fragrance emanating from Gabriel, Chen Ping quickly fell into a deep sleep under this familiar scent.
After Chen Ping fell asleep, Gabrielle's eyelids involuntarily opened a little bit. After seeing that Chen Ping was completely asleep, she opened her eyes and looked at him with a helpless expression.
He pulled his hand out from under the covers, holding a board in his hand. If Chen Ping were still conscious, he would definitely know what the board was when he saw it. That's right, it was a washboard.
Gabrielle looked at the washboard in her hand, then glanced at Chen Ping who was sleeping. She decided to put it away and let him use it next time, since she herself had fallen asleep.
Hiss~
Gabriel suddenly took a deep breath, and then she moved her knees unnaturally. There were several bright red marks on them, which Gabriel had made herself when she was testing the power of the washboard.
She only knelt for a few minutes, and it got this serious. So Gabriel was very satisfied with the power of the washboard. In the future, if Chen Ping made her angry, he would have to kneel for at least half an hour.
Let him learn a lesson.
As she pondered, Gabriel fell asleep again, unconsciously leaning closer to Chen Ping and nuzzling against him.
In her sleep, Gabriel looked at Chen Ping kneeling on the washboard and couldn't help but smile, looking quite satisfied.
In reality, Gabriel, leaning against Chen Ping's chest, couldn't help but smile.
