Chapter 824 - New Faces

Bai Qinghao frowned and spoke heavily. "My wife, you should rest! Leave it to me!"

She replied with a smile. "It's alright."

His expression turned stern. "Listen to me! Or I'll be angry!"

His gaze grew heated looking at her. It seemed as though he wanted to swallow her whole.

She knew that the consequences would be dire if he was angry. Even when they were on the island, he dished out his punishments regardless of their location.

As the island was uninhabited, their intimate figures could be seen from all over the place.

She noticed his heated gaze and was worried that he would really do as he pleased.

Thus, she sat down obediently and picked up the umbrella next to the basket. She lifted it over her head.

This umbrella was made with bamboo pieces. She had layered the thin bamboo pieces into the shape of an umbrella and arranged dried leaves between the pieces. She had then attached a thick branch to form the handle of the umbrella.

The most primitive form of umbrella was made in this manner.

Bai Qinghao had been worried that she would be caught in the rain. He also stressed over the thought that she would be burnt from the sun. Thus, he made this umbrella just for her. It made life much easier.

Beneath the umbrella, she remained cool and comfortable. Bai Qinghao, however, was covered in sweat as he rowed their raft forward.

In fact, ever since they arrived on this island, she only did some chores on the first few days. She spent the rest of the time resting and was well-taken care of by him.

They even had sufficient dew water to drink. They just didn't have enough for showers.

"Now that I think about it, it hasn't been all that difficult living on this island with you around." She sat in the center of the raft and spoke to him while he worked hard.

His gaze was filled with heartache. "You're the only fool who would think this way."

Without her, he would already have died in that ocean.

During the ten days they drifted in the ocean, he had been seriously injured and she single-handedly kept him alive.

He felt that he needed to treat her very well.

Thus, once his body made good recovery on the island, he would rather suffer the exhaustion than to make her work in any way.

The sun was blazing hot yet the ocean remained as ferocious as ever.

Fang Xinxin stayed beneath the umbrella and did not feel too hot.

They traveled along the outskirts of the island for nearly four hours before they finally arrived on the other side of the island.

They looked forward and saw that the island was an inverted 'U' shape on this side.

On the edge of the island was a natural white beach. Above the shallow waters, there were more than thirty homes built from wood.

The houses were supported by thick pillars that were submerged beneath the waters.

The houses were built at the tip of the naturally 'U' shaped island and were best positioned to avoid the powerful waves.

There were average-sized boats tied to every wooden house.

The boats appeared very primitive. They were around two meters wide and four meters long. They also relied on man made oars.

In the shallow waters, there were a few people washing something.

They finally found other inhabitants and this seemed like a proper village. Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin were finally able to set their worries away.

It seemed like they no longer had to face any more risks. They could safely leave this place.

One of the men standing on the beach appeared to see them. He suddenly raised his voice and shouted something incomprehensible. His voice could easily be heard through the entire village.

Everyone looked out from their homes towards them.

As Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin approached them, they noticed that all of the people here had dark skin tones and curly hair.

Where exactly did the powerful waves send them drifting to?
