At this moment, Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan quickly greeted her, saying, "Mother!"
The saintess hurriedly said, "Good, it's good that you're here. Let those people settle the ship first, and I'll take you to see the island!"
At this moment, Lin Yiwan finally saw those gilded houses, which were indeed as magnificent and splendid as they appeared in the mirage.
She asked in surprise, "Mother, were there houses like this when you arrived on this island?"
The saintess nodded: "Indeed, we had the same expression as you at the time. We never expected that there would be such an magnificent house built on this island!"
Zhan Yan spoke up: "Ordinary craftsmen couldn't have made this. I just wonder, what kind of people originally lived on this island?"
The Holy Maiden spoke up: "When Min Xiang and I arrived on this island, it was deserted. Fortunately, in addition to houses that provide shelter from the wind and rain, the island also has a lot of food and fresh water stored up, so we can only settle down here for the time being!"
Zhan Miao asked curiously, "Grandmother, where is your ship? Why did you come to this island?"
Mentioning this made Prime Minister Min's face turn very ugly.
He said in a deep voice, "Our boat was wrecked. Your grandmother and I jumped into the sea to survive. Luckily, we found a piece of wood and drifted here. Otherwise, you probably wouldn't have even been able to find our bodies!"
Zhan Miao clenched her fists in anger: "Who exactly wants to harm you? When we get back to Liguo, I'll make sure Xiaobai bites his throat off!"
Min Xiang spoke gently: "Miao'er, don't be angry. I know who it is, and I will definitely not let him get away with it!"
After entering the gilded hall, everyone first had a hearty meal.
As night fell, Lin Yiwan and the Holy Maiden strolled along the beach of Fairy Island.
She whispered, "Wanwan, this island is truly magical. It has many fresh fruits that we've never seen in our country before!"
Lin Yiwan asked curiously, "What kind of fresh fruit?"
The saint led her to a small, well-maintained garden where she saw many strange trees.
Several of the trees were covered with bright red fruit, which looked very beautiful.
The saintess took one off, wiped it with a handkerchief, and handed it to Lin Yiwan.
She said, "Try it!"
Lin Yiwan lowered her head and took a bite, and the sweet and sour juice spread between her lips and teeth.
Her eyes widened in surprise: "It's delicious!"
The saintess smiled, her eyes narrowing: "Is that so? This kind of fresh fruit doesn't exist in our Li Kingdom, or even in the Dong Sheng Dynasty, so it's quite rare!"
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out behind them: "Ah ha, Grandmother and Mother are secretly having a good meal, why didn't you take Meow?"
The saintess immediately picked a fruit and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "I was originally planning to pick some for you and Qingning to eat, how could I possibly eat them behind your backs?"
Zhan Miao took a big bite and her eyes crinkled with delight at the sweetness.
She mumbled incoherently, "Delicious, so delicious!"
Lin Yiwan and the saintess continued walking inside and discovered many more unidentified fruit trees.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder it's called Fairy Island! The things here are so delicious, you'll never want to leave!"
The saintess's face suddenly turned solemn: "Wanwan, who built such a wonderful place? I noticed that the grain storage area is very dry and the food is still very fresh, which means they haven't been gone for long!"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and pondered, "Let's investigate the secrets of this island first, there's no rush to leave anyway!"
The saintess nodded: "You're right. However, now that you mention it, I do remember something. There really is a secret on this island. Min Ao and I have lived on this island for so long, but there's one secret room that we just can't open!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up. Perhaps there was something inside that could prove the island owner's identity?
She urged hastily, "Mother, please take me to see her!"
The saintess chuckled, "There's no rush. It's too late now. Let's go investigate that secret room tomorrow morning!"
By this time, Zhan Miao had already picked a lot of fresh fruit, which she wanted to take back for Lu Na'er and Zhan Qingning to eat together.
The island was scenic and guarded, which finally eased the tension between Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan.
After bathing, the two lay down in the soft brocade quilt.
Zhan Yan spoke first: "Wanwan, with such a suitable atmosphere, shouldn't we do something?"
Lin Yiwan's mind was filled with thoughts of the secret room. She just wanted to wake up quickly and investigate in the morning, so her consciousness was a little hazy.
She frowned and muttered, "I'm so tired right now, I don't want to do anything, I just want to close my eyes and go to sleep!"
Zhan Yan refused; once the idea took hold, he couldn't suppress it.
He whispered pleadingly in Lin Yiwan's ear, "Wanwan, please don't do this. Open your eyes and look at me, okay?"
Lin Yiwan had never seen Zhan Yan so persistent before, so she could only frown and look at him.
He kissed her lips, his movements gentle yet alluring.
The flickering candlelight cast a red glow, making the lotus pattern on the curtains appear hazy and indistinct.
He took her hand, his fingertips caressing the beaded bracelet on her wrist, the cool, smooth jade warmed by his body heat.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she lowered her eyes, she saw the dark bamboo pattern on his blue robe, rising and falling gently with his breath. The crisp bamboo scent from his clothes lingered around her nose, mixed with the scent of the still-damp peach blossom paper on the desk.
He leaned down, his lips lightly touching her temple, his voice low and mellow like an ancient string: "Wanwan, you are as beautiful as ever!"
She raised her hand to caress his cheek, her fingertips tracing his handsome face, her eyes shimmering with tenderness. She wrapped her arms around his neck, burying her face in his shoulder. Beneath their brocade robes, their bodies burned with heat and their hearts beat in unison.
Outside the window, the water clock dripped, and moonlight shone through the window lattice, covering the intertwined shadows of the two with a thin layer of frost. Outside the tent, the wind rustled the bamboo shadows, while inside, tender affection lingered.
That night, they were so deeply moved that neither of them could remember when they fell asleep.
When Lin Yiwan woke up the next day, she saw Zhan Yan leisurely looking her over.
Her pretty face flushed red, and she suddenly stood up and said, "Oh no! I promised my mother I would explore that mysterious stone chamber. Why didn't you wake me up sooner?"
As Zhan Yan helped her get dressed, he said, "When Mother sent people over, I already told them that you were exhausted yesterday and slept very soundly, and asked them to wait a little longer!"
With just one sentence, Lin Yiwan felt utterly ashamed.
He also said he was overworked. How could he possibly come up with such an excuse?
That's absolutely ruining her reputation!
After she finished getting ready, she quickly walked out.
In the courtyard, the saintess was playing with several younger people.
When she saw Lin Yiwan, she couldn't help but smile kindly: "Wanwan, have you rested well?"
What is said is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.
Lin Yiwan secretly pinched Zhan Yan's waist hard before whispering, "Xiu, you've rested well. Thank you for your concern, Mother!"
