"We're all rough folks here, about thirty or forty of us in total. I wonder what the situation is like over there? By the way, what do you call me, bro? And what do you call me, ladies?"
After showing off his "muscles", Richard acted like a gentleman again. While letting everyone into the tribe, he began to inquire about Lu Xuan's situation.
"Ahem... My last name is Lu, and this is Miss Leng, Miss Shen, and Miss Yin. We're not many here, about twenty survivors in total, mostly men. I originally wanted to come alone, but my girls really like Aphrodite, so we clamored to come together."
Lu Xuan had been learning bragging from Yin Yichen a lot these days, so when he told a lie, his face was red and his heart remained calm, and he looked very proud and confident.
After hearing what Lu Xuan said, Richard and Ares looked at each other, obviously having some concerns about what Lu Xuan said.
"Hahaha, last time I saw Brother Lu, he was very skilled. I guess he must be the leader of your team?"
Richard is no pushover either, and he's trying to trick Lu Xuan into believing in something.
However, Lu Xuan has already started bragging. Now he will just fight against the enemy with soldiers and block the water with earth. No matter which direction the wind blows, he will not stop bragging.
"No, no, I'm just a small fry. I can't even handle these girls. My skills can't even be compared to my brothers."
Lu Xuan kept waving his hands, looking ashamed of himself.
After hearing what Lu Xuan said, Richard felt even more uncertain.
Lu Xuan also observed that this indigenous leader named Alushia seemed to be quite respectful to Richard and the others. It seemed that Richard was the real boss in this tribe.
It seems that, just as Leng Mengyao guessed, this Richard is indeed a man with some means.
The people on both sides weighed each other's strength while pretending to be polite as they entered the tribe.
After exiting the cave, the view suddenly opens up, revealing a refreshing and vibrant picture.
This tribe has all the elements it should have.
Surrounded by sturdy fences, simple thatched huts are scattered around. Dried wild boar meat is hung high under the eaves, emitting an enticing aroma. Not far away, a lush vegetable field stretches out, full of greenery and vitality.
It seems that the man was not lying, they really have vegetables here.
Since these vegetables are real, I must pick them all back.
"Brother Lu, it seems you like the vegetables here very much?"
Obviously, Richard was also a good observer and he could see Lu Xuan's expectations for vegetables at a glance.
"I'm ashamed to say that we have pork, fish, and all kinds of seafood, but the only thing we don't have is vegetables. There aren't that many varieties."
These were the more "real" words Lu Xuan said to Richard today.
"Okay, okay. When Brother Lu returns, just take more with you. So, why did Brother Lu and your friends land on the island? Where did you land? And where are you staying now?"
Richard obviously still wanted to trick Lu Xuan into talking, so after talking about vegetables, he immediately got back to the main topic.
"Oh, let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it, it's better not to mention it. If we had known we would encounter such a mess, we would not have left the house. Brother Li, you don't know that it's a good thing that my brother brought several bodyguards with him when he went out to discuss business this time. Otherwise, his life would be in danger."
Lu Xuan didn't say anything. Yin Yichen behind him took a step forward with a solemn oath, then began to brag while beating her chest and stamping her feet.
Although they had rehearsed this basic plot before going out, Yin Yichen was too happy to add to the drama. Then there was the sudden appearance of a big brother and a few bodyguards with annual salaries of one million.
Moreover, who is this Brother "Li"?
Although Richard's Chinese surname is "Li", it seems that the three of them have never mentioned it to Yin Yichen.
It was not until Leng Mengyao cleared his throat twice that Yin Yichen added two words.
"Oh, it's Brother Richard..."
Lu Xuan's face was filled with black lines after hearing this.
"Yes, we can be considered to have saved our lives this time. May I ask how you landed on the island and how you made these friends?"
Since this is a mutual exchange of words, there must be a give and take. After all, the Chinese believe that it is impolite not to reciprocate.
Lu Xuan took back the right to speak from Yin Yichen and began to inquire about Richard and others.
"It's just a coincidence. After we were shipwrecked, we drifted here along the waves, and then... ahem... by chance, we made these native friends, hehe..."
It was obvious that Lu Xuan was making up stories and the other party was hiding something.
Lu Xuan also understood that it would be a waste of time to continue chatting, so it would be better to get straight to the point.
He blinked at the three girls.
Leng Mengyao spoke first.
"Is Aphrodite okay? It's my fault for telling her the bad news. She's still young, and I'm afraid it will take her a while to come to terms with such a cruel reality."
Leng Mengyao looked at everyone with a sincere gaze, his face full of regret.
"This... shouldn't be a big problem. She should be hiding in the thatched hut. She'll be fine soon."
Seeing the beauty in front of him suddenly look sad, Richard was a little lost and stuttered when he spoke.
"Then can I go and comfort her? After all, I was the one who told her about this, it's all my fault..."
The more Leng Mengyao spoke, the sadder he became.
"Well... okay... okay, William, why don't you take Miss Leng over there. Miss Leng, you don't have to blame yourself too much. This has nothing to do with you, really."
The cold and stunning beauty in front of him seemed to have a kind of desolate aura that made people feel pity and love. Even a straight man with a heart as hard as stone would probably be melted by this tender gaze, not to mention a man like Richard who was easily moved by beauty.
There was even a moment when even Lu Xuan almost believed that Leng Mengyao really regretted his previous actions.
"Mr. William, how about you take me to visit your vegetable garden later?"
Leng Mengyao was just about to leave when Shen Keyin blinked her big eyes and looked at the burly man named William.
When had this man ever seen such gentle and charming Oriental beauties as Leng Mengyao and Chen Keyin? Moreover, at this moment, another stunning woman took the initiative to extend an olive branch to him. His heart could not help but ripple, and his excitement was beyond words. He agreed immediately.
It was seen that Leng Mengyao and Shen Keyin left as planned.
The remaining Yin Yichen spoke again...
