Chapter 41: Island of Exile!

I don't know how long I drifted on the sea.

Lin Yixuan's lips were dry and thirsty. Looking at the heavy rain pouring down, he opened his mouth and began to drink. Although the water was not much, it barely quenched his thirst.

Lin Yixuan took out the few remaining pills from the ring and swallowed them.

A very long time passed again!

The boat suddenly stopped shaking, and Lin Yixuan was instantly awakened. He looked at the vast white fog in front of him, and then looked down at the huge monster under his feet. Lin Yixuan's scalp suddenly went numb.

(I couldn't see what it was at all. It was too big. I couldn't even see its head. My boat was docked on the back of the giant.)

The huge creature seemed unaware of the thing on its back and continued to swim forward. After an unknown amount of time, the huge creature suddenly turned sideways and dived.

The hull tilted and fell into the water. Lin Yixuan on the boat held on to the boat tightly, but was still thrown out. Under the impact of the turbulent waves, he fainted soon after.

On a small island, a young girl was going to the beach and suddenly saw a person lying on the beach. She then shook her head.

(How could there be someone here? If I look closely, it doesn't seem to be a human. How can someone have such long hair? It could be a mermaid.)

He approached cautiously, picked up the tree trunk and flipped him over.

(Ah, it turns out it’s really a person!)

The girl turned around and shouted.

"Dad, Dad, come quickly, there is someone here."

Upon hearing this, the burly man quickly put down what he was holding and ran over.

The burly man looked at the young man lying on the ground and reached out to touch his nose and mouth.

(Still alive!)

The burly man carried the young man on the ground on his back and spoke to the girl.

"Let's go back first."

Inside the cave of the mysterious island.

Lin Yixuan opened his eyes and saw a young girl sitting aside with her head down, busy with her hands, as if she was weaving something.

Just as Lin Yixuan was about to get up, he felt weak all over and fell back onto the bed.

Sensing the movement, the girl raised her head and saw the weak stranger awake when she opened her eyes. She quickly shouted loudly.

"Dad, Dad~ He's awake!"

The girl shouted, but her hands did not stop moving.

Not long after, a sturdy man walked in, looked at Lin Yixuan lying weakly on the bed, and then said to the girl.

"Yaoyao, stop knitting and go make some porridge."

The girl called Yaoyao said "Oh!", put down the things in her hands and ran out.

Soon the girl came back with a bowl of porridge, put it aside, and started weaving again.

"Tell me, young man. How did you end up on this 'Exile Island'?"

The burly man said.

(What is the 'Exile Island'? Be careful and pretend to have amnesia!)

Lin Yixuan shook his head.

A hint of disappointment flashed across the burly man's eyes, and then he said.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't care where you come from. Once you come here, you have to work. If you don't want to work, finish this bowl of porridge and get out."

The burly man turned around and prepared to leave, then seemed to remember something and turned back to the person on the bed and said.

"After you finish your porridge and feel a little stronger, come find me. I'm on the high platform outside. You can see me when you come out!"

After the burly man finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving the person on the bed a chance to speak.

It’s been a long time!

(Finally I regained some strength!)

Lin Yixuan slowly sat up, picked up the porridge and started eating. He finished it quickly! He put down the bowl and asked the girl called Yaoyao.

"What's your name, can I ask you a question?"

"Ah! Are you talking to me? Of course. My name is Shi Leyao, and they usually call me Xiaoyao."

The girl was surprised for a moment, then reacted and said.

"Xiaoyao, that's a nice name. Do you know where this place is?"

Lin Yixuan asked.

"This is the 'Exile Island', where people who do bad things are exiled!"

Xiaoyao recalled what her father said and said.

"Did Xiaoyao get exiled here because she did something bad?"

Lin Yixuan asked doubtfully.

"Of course not. It was Daddy and the others. I know the specific reason very well. And then... then everyone was brought here."

Xiaoyao recalled seriously.

"Oh, I see. Thank you, Xiaoyao."

Lin Yixuan climbed off the bed as he spoke.

"You're welcome. You can ask me any questions you have. I'm very familiar with this place! You...will you lie down for a while?"

Looking at Lin Yixuan who had climbed up, Xiaoyao asked puzzledly.

"No need! I'll go out and take a look."

Lin Yixuan responded.

(The spiritual energy here is too thin, I can only find a place with richer spiritual energy to recover first!)

Lin Yixuan walked out of the cave and was greeted by the smell of salty sea breeze.

Not far ahead, several burly men were busy piling stones onto the platform one by one.

(What are they doing?)

There seem to be quite a few such platforms nearby.

Noticing Lin Yixuan's appearance, the burly man spoke to the people behind him.

"You guys continue first, I'll be back soon."

The burly man came to Lin Yixuan and asked.

"It seems like you're recovering pretty quickly. Hmm, even though you only have one arm, you should still have some strength. What do you think? Have you thought it through?"

"I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Lin Yixuan asked.

"Well, tell me about it."

The burly man said.

(It’s better to be cautious!)

Lin Yixuan pondered for a while and asked.

"What is this place? What are you building these platforms for?"

"This is the 'Exile Island', um~ or a more appropriate name would be 'Sin Island'. Everyone who comes here is a sinner."

The burly man explained.

"Then what are you doing?"

Lin Yixuan continued to remind.

"I can't answer this question for you, but I can tell you if you are willing to join us and help."

The burly man put forward his conditions.

Seeing Lin Yixuan remained silent, the burly man said.

"It's okay! It's still early, you can think about it. But you have to support yourself. Of course, if you change your mind, you can always come back to me."

"Hey~ Stop being lazy, come and help!"

A burly man on the platform said loudly.

"I think you are itching for trouble."

The burly man responded loudly, then turned and said to Lin Yixuan.

"When you've made up your mind, come find me here. By the way, my name is Shi Tian!"

After Shi Tian finished speaking, he went back to continue moving stones.

(Let’s find a place to recover our spiritual energy first.)

Lin Yixuan left the platform and looked around to see if there was anyone around. He immediately jumped onto the tree trunk and looked at the rolling mountains.

(This island is so big!)

Continuing to explore forward, the spiritual energy is still pitifully thin!

(With such a huge mountain range, the spiritual energy is so scarce, which is a bit strange! I remember him saying that this is the 'Exile Island', so the thin spiritual energy is normal. I am still very concerned about what they are doing. Forget it~ I'd better find a place to recover first, and then go back to take a look.)
