Fortunately, at this moment, Wang Zhonggui rushed forward: "Master, I..."

Fortunately, Wang Zhonggui rushed forward at that moment:

"Master, let me help with the heat!"

This apprentice was clever; he had secretly learned how to skewer meat, prepare sauces, and control the heat several days earlier.

It wasn't for cultivation purposes, it was purely for...

Dragonfly loves to eat it! Who told me that when she pulled me out of the waves, my heart was soaked and could never dry again?

He's really gotten the hang of this skill.

When the heat is controlled to seven or eight tenths, the baked goods are perfectly fragrant, tender, crispy, and chewy.

Ting'er took a couple of bites, closed her eyes, and savored the taste, but she couldn't tell which skewer was grilled by her master and which by her apprentice.

For her, as long as it tastes good, that's all that matters!

Huang Rujiao readily agreed and, without a word, opened his privately kept old wine jar.

Normally, alcohol is strictly prohibited on board, but today they were shouting, "Drink as much as you want! All you can eat!"

We'll rest here tonight and set sail tomorrow morning.

Suddenly, the sea breeze carried the aroma of meat, laughter echoed with the sound of waves, and the island was as lively as during the Lunar New Year.

The barbecue lasted from midday until around 3 p.m.

Many people got drunk and were snoring on the beach, while others drooled as they slept with their heads on fishing nets.

They dare to be so relaxed because there is really no danger here.

Huang Rujiao and his group visited frequently and never had any mishaps.

Of course, the ship owner and first mate certainly wouldn't dare to get drunk.

They also have to take turns patrolling the island at night, keeping a close eye on any activity around them.

Of the eight people, Wang Zhonggui and Lei drank the most.

But even if she blushes and talks a lot, she'll still be rooted to the spot. How could a few jars of wine possibly knock her out a celestial being like a golden immortal?

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone cleaned up and then strolled around the island in small groups.

The island is small, with no wild animals or poisonous insects, so you can wander around freely and have fun.

Ding Lai took Liu Dong's arm and asked with a smile:

"My lord, shall we take a stroll in the woods? Let's see if there are any hidden surprises among the flowers and birds?"

"Let's go! Wherever you point, I'll step there."

Liu Dong reached out and took her hand tightly, and the two walked side by side toward the center of the island.

On the other side, Wang Zhonggui stared at Ting'er's back, his lips moved several times, but he couldn't utter a sound.

While he was chatting and laughing with Vido, he felt both timid and itchy, his toes rubbing against the sand, and his palms sweating profusely.

Vido had already noticed, and chuckled, leaning close to Ting'er's ear:

"Hey, don't you think Wang Zhonggui's eyes look like those of a puppy waiting to be fed?"

"ah?!"

Ting'er's face flushed instantly, and her ears turned bright red.

"Stop hiding!"

Vido nudged her arm. "Look at him, if he doesn't speak soon, he's going to start stuttering!"

"...I...I don't actually dislike him."

Ting'er's voice grew softer and softer as she twisted the hem of her clothes with her fingers.

"But with so many people watching... I'm too embarrassed to go to him..."

"Hey! What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Vido grabbed her wrist. "Come on! Let's drag him into the woods, and the two of us can do whatever we want!"

Dragonfly blinked, then suddenly took a deep breath, turned and ran.

Ignoring Vido, he went straight to Wang Zhonggui.

Wang Zhonggui froze on the spot, his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Dragonfly leaned closer to him and blinked:

"Brother Wang, shall we go for a stroll on the island? Just the two of us?"

"Huh? Oh! Okay, okay, very good!" He was so excited that he stammered.

He had no idea that Ting'er would come to him on her own initiative, and his tongue was tied in knots.

A quick glance revealed that Vido was smiling at him with her lips pursed, and his heart immediately brightened:

She must have secretly helped out!

He quickly nodded towards Wei Duo, his eyes full of gratitude, before turning and leaving with Ting'er, his ears red.

Vido watched their figures walk further and further away, and sighed softly.

"Sister Weiduo, why are you sighing all by yourself here?" Zhang Yuxian quietly came over.

"Why else? I'm just jealous of Susu and Ting'er." Wei Duo didn't hide anything and spoke her mind directly.

Everyone knew perfectly well that she liked Liu Dong, but he had already married Ding Lai and they were a perfect match.

Right now, Liu Dong and Ding Lai are a couple, and Wang Zhonggui and Ting'er are another couple; they've all gone deep into the island.

As Vido stared at the empty path, how could she not feel a pang of jealousy?

Zhang Yuxian patted her arm: "In my opinion, Sister Weiduo is not bad at all, it's just that fate hasn't knocked on her door yet."

Upon hearing this, Vido's eyelids twitched slightly, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"Maybe... but fate isn't something you can just wait for by sitting at the door."

"Oh, let's not talk about that! Come here, let me see how your training has been going lately!"

"Alright! But Sister Vido has to go easy on me, otherwise I won't last three moves before I have to surrender!"

Wei Duo is a mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, while Zhang Yuxian has just reached the threshold of the late-stage Celestial Immortal, only a tiny bit short. If they really fought, a single sneeze could knock her over.

When it comes to sparring, Vido has to hold back and control her strength just right.

The two chose a flat, open space to start practicing, and in the blink of an eye, a crowd of people had gathered around them.

Normally, who has ever seen a Grand Immortal make a move? People would be too busy hiding to even dare to get close and watch the spectacle.

Today I've really seen something amazing. The masters' moves were even more exciting than a play!

Lei Yuan and Qiao Yuanmu were passing by when they heard there was some excitement, so they ran over as fast as they could.

Let's not even mention the bustling crowd here.

Meanwhile, Ding Lai and Liu Dong had entered the heart of the island earlier, followed by Wang Zhonggui and Ting'er.

Actually, the couple hadn't gone very far at all.

Ding Lai just wanted to find a quiet place to whisper sweet nothings to her husband and hold his hand.

So when Wang Zhonggui and Ting'er appeared, they spotted them immediately.

"Husband, let's step aside for now."

Ding Lai tugged at Liu Dong's sleeve.

"Don't scare them, or they'll run away if they get nervous."

Liu Dong nodded with a smile. He was happier than anyone else that his apprentice had succeeded in winning over the girl he liked.

The two immediately shrank into the shade of the tree, even holding their breath.

When Wang Zhonggui and Ting'er walked over, they didn't notice anyone nearby at all.

It wasn't that they were of low cultivation or lacked vigilance; it was that they each had their own thoughts on their own. One was busy sneaking peeks at the other's shoes, while the other was looking down at his own eyelashes. How could they possibly pay attention to looking around?

As Wang Zhonggui passed by that hiding place, he muttered to himself:

"Huh? Where did Master and Mistress go for a stroll?"

"What, you want to go find them?"

Dragonfly turned her head and asked.

"No, no, no!" he hurriedly waved his hands, "I'm afraid of running into them... I'd be so embarrassed."

Ting'er chuckled: "I dared to drag you out here, so who am I afraid of seeing?"

"Hehe, actually I don't really care."

He scratched the back of his head. "I'm a man, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Let's go around to the side, so we don't actually run into each other."

"become!"

Dragonfly smiled and agreed.

Liu Dong and Ding Lai squatted in the shadows, their shoulders shaking, covering their mouths to stifle their laughter, almost choking.

Good heavens! Live broadcast from start to finish, not a single word missed!

Luckily they dodged in time, otherwise they would have gotten embarrassed and turned around and run away, and the matter would have fallen through.

Only after the two people had disappeared from sight did they slowly stroll out.
