"I think this little girl really didn't disappoint."
"And this is still while her soul is incomplete."
"Of the others, only Hu Die noticed something was wrong, but she's still a bit inferior to Hua Rong."
Inside the castle, several elders sat on the ground, watching the water curtain.
"I really don't know who will be the first to be killed."
If Hua Rong were here, he would definitely be surprised to hear this.
Murdered?
Will someone commit murder?
You might not find this anywhere else, but this is Sin Island.
The name Sin Island comes from its ability to amplify the evil in people's hearts.
The stronger one's mental strength, the less one is affected.
If one's mental strength is not strong enough, one is easily manipulated by malice and becomes a weapon in the hands of evil.

This time, Zhen Huarong was not so lucky.
She went out but didn't find anyone.
For her own safety, she returned to the cave before dark.
Unexpectedly, two more people came this time. These two were Ellie's friends, one from China and the other from the United States. Their names were Wang Haonan and Bourbon, respectively.
Wang Haonan is a playboy, and it's obvious that he seems to be pursuing Ellie.
However, after seeing Zhen Huarong, he seemed to have the idea of changing his target.
However, Zhen Huarong had no intention of having a desert island romance with him.
This kind of man... or rather, this kind of man is someone she doesn't really like to get close to.
Perhaps subconsciously she had seen more outstanding men before.
She felt no attraction to either Wang Haonan or her fiancé.
Was she really blind before?
Her fiancé didn't want to marry her, not because he wanted to focus on his career; that was just an excuse.
On several occasions, Zhen Huarong saw her fiancé and his assistant walking very close together.
The assistant wasn't as pretty as her, but she was a fresh-faced intern right after graduating from school, brimming with youthful energy.
Perhaps the two had been together for too long, which wore away their initial love.
He wanted to find his former self in that vibrant girl.
Having realized this, Zhen Huarong was not as angry as before; she was even calm.
She was still a little confused as to why the version of herself she remembered was so angry.
As an excellent divorce lawyer, haven't I seen enough cases like this?
It's simply because when something happens to you, you can't view it rationally like an outsider.
She wasn't angry at all; in fact, she almost laughed.
Humans are such complex creatures. No matter how much they loved each other in the past, once they got together, they would slowly wear away that love and forget the good things about that person for a long time, only remembering all the bad things.
When a man or woman who resembles her or his younger self appears, they tend to ignore all of that person's flaws and instead magnify his or her strengths.
However, while Zhen Huarong understood it, Ellie couldn't.
She was genuinely grateful to Zhen Huarong before, but when Wang Haonan tried to curry favor with Zhen Huarong, Ellie became very unfriendly to her.
"So why don't you catch some animals to eat? Do you want us to eat these vegetables and wild fruits?" Ellie complained to Zhen Huarong.
She may have been a little princess before, and she would blame others for every little thing that didn't go her way.
She completely forgot that the food she was eating was all found by Zhen Huarong.
Zhen Huarong didn't know how the people she had encountered before had spoiled her, but she wasn't going to spoil her like that now.
Zhen Huarong said calmly, "The wild vegetables and fruits you're eating now, which you used to complain about, were all found by me. If you don't want to eat them, you don't have to; I didn't force you to. I didn't ask you for anything in return, which is good enough. Do you still have the right to be picky? It's your fault for being ungrateful, but I have no obligation to cater to you."
Upon hearing this, Ellie's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. She looked at Wang Haonan, who seemed to know that the relationship between the two women was strained because of him. However, he didn't feel apologetic; instead, he seemed rather smug.
He said to Zhen Huarong, "Huarong, don't go so far! Ellie just wants to eat meat."
"What does her wanting to eat meat have to do with me? Am I her nanny? And you, who are you to me, and what gives you the right to lecture me?"
Zhen Huarong also criticized Wang Haonan.
“My friend from Xia Kingdom, you’re going too far with what you’re saying. Besides, Miss Ellie didn’t say anything offensive. Why are you being so aggressive?”
Bourbon and Ellie came to Xia Country together, so naturally he would help Ellie at this time.
When Ellie heard Wang Haonan and Bourbon speak up for her, she instantly felt smug.
However, she looked pitiful when she spoke to Zhen Huarong.
“I know you carried me back, but didn’t you come looking for me then? So why are you still bringing this up? I just wanted to eat meat. If you could carry me back, you can definitely hunt too.”
Zhen Huarong chuckled twice, her face turning completely cold. She crossed her arms and looked at Ellie, "Whether I can hunt or not is my business. Even if I catch something, I won't feed it to you. What can you do about it? I'm not your servant, we're not even friends. Strictly speaking, I really saved your life. If I left you in that jungle crying for a few more minutes, see if any wild animals would come and carry you away!"
