Missing your smile

Chapter 240 Taking Them In

The following days saw everyone busy with their usual affairs, and by this time, the wooden hut had been completed.

With their food, drink, and shelter issues resolved, everyone had begun to enjoy this primitive lifestyle.

Since there was no hope of leaving, they could only settle down and live here.

During this period, several large beasts appeared, but they were all repelled by Li Dazhuang leading the group. Since then, these large beasts had kept their distance from Qin Hui's territory.

Not only that, but Qin Hui had also expanded his territory considerably. Now they resembled a small tribe more than ever. Within this small tribe, they had also started cultivating some vegetables and raising chickens and fowl.

With these provisions, no one had to go out hunting anymore. Even with the most familiar hunting experience, it always came with risks. However, once they could be self-sufficient, all risks would be eliminated.

Qin Hui was also somewhat touched by the establishment of the tribe, never expecting to form one himself someday. Among them, Su Shijun had shown great leadership. Without her direction, these men would not have been able to accomplish so much.

In the afternoon, after accompanying Li Dazhuang for training, Qin Hui sat in his room, sipping refreshing tea.

Just a few sips into his tea, Qin Hui heard a clamor outside, sounding very lively.

"What's happening outside?" Qin Hui asked Wang Ji beside him.

"Heh heh, Brother Hui, two very beautiful women have arrived. I think I recognize one of them; she's Young Master Qian's fiancée, Wang Xiaoyan," Wang Ji said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.

When Qin Hui heard this name, his eyes twitched. This woman was likely here to court death. Everyone hated Qian Chao immensely. If it weren't for this pampered young master, they wouldn't have ended up in this predicament. Most importantly, many had lost their lives due to his orders.

Everyone knew that Wang Xiaoyan was Qian Chao's fiancée. Her appearance in his territory at this time was tantamount to seeking death, wasn't it?

Soon, Qin Hui, accompanied by Wang Ji, walked out of the wooden hut. It would be troublesome if anything were to happen.

As expected, at the entrance of the tribe, Wang Xiaoyan and her best friend, Su Xue'er, were surrounded by the crowd.

"Wang Xiaoyan, where is Qian Chao? Hurry up and call him out."

"That's right! If it weren't for that guy, how would my friend have died? And my parents, they also fell into the sea and became fish food."

"If you don't hand over Qian Chao today, you two will pay with your lives."

The crowd was aggressive, clearly intending to make an example of Wang Xiaoyan and Su Xue'er.

"This, this has nothing to do with us. It was all Qian Chao's doing. If you want to find someone, go find him." Su Xue'er's eyes welled up with tears.

They had been drifting on the deserted island for some time, almost becoming prey for wolves and leopards. To finally see people, only to have such an outcome. However, if they didn't come in, with their survival skills, they would likely die on the island.

The two former beauties looked wretched. They were too thin, their clothes were tattered, and their bodies reeked, clearly having not bathed for a long time. To describe them in a word, they were like two beggars.

"Heh, if we could find Qian Chao, would we be bothering you?" someone stepped forward and directly accused them.

"That's right, if you don't give us an explanation today, neither of you will leave here." Many people stepped forward.

In this day and age, when public anger was involved, it was clearly difficult to quell.

"Little Hui, why don't we take them in for now? If they leave us, they probably won't survive. Besides, it's not their fault," Su Shijun said as she walked over. As a woman, she felt great sympathy for Wang Xiaoyan and the others. More importantly, these were two lives!

If it were in the past, Qin Hui would definitely have taken them in. But they were Qian Chao's people, and Qin Hui couldn't reconcile this with his conscience. Their class monitor had died on the yacht. No matter what, their class monitor had treated him quite well!

Just as Qin Hui was hesitating, the female ghost spoke, "Keep them. I think Wang Xiaoyan has good potential. She can be my host."

Since the female ghost had spoken, Qin Hui had no reason to refuse. If it weren't for the female ghost, Qin Hui wouldn't have obtained so many cultivation resources. This time, he would consider it repaying her favor. Qin Hui disliked owing favors the most.

"Alright, everyone calm down for now," Qin Hui said as he walked out.

"No matter what, Qian Chao is the ultimate culprit for everyone's separation of family and loved ones. And Qian Chao and his group are likely still alive on the island. As long as he is alive, we will definitely find them, and revenge can wait until then."

"However, no matter what, Wang Xiaoyan is Qian Chao's fiancée. Unless Wang Xiaoyan voluntarily dissolves her engagement with Qian Chao, I will not take them in." Qin Hui was giving them a way out. If he simply pardoned them, the crowd would still be displeased.

Wang Xiaoyan and Su Xue'er hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"I, Wang Xiaoyan, have no further connection with Qian Chao from this day forth. Is that acceptable now?" Wang Xiaoyan said loudly, though she felt very resentful in her heart. However, she had to say this for the current situation.

Seeing that Wang Xiaoyan had said so, and with Qin Hui's intervention, everyone reluctantly dispersed, still not welcoming them in their hearts.

Seeing everyone dispersed, Qin Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Shijun, I'll leave these two to you. Take them to wash up first, then have something to eat," Qin Hui instructed.

Su Shijun nodded and then led the two women away.

Behind the cave, Qin Hui said with a dejected look, "Why did you have to set your sights on Wang Xiaoyan? She's an enemy of everyone. If you possess her, won't you become an enemy of everyone?"

"Don't worry, possessing someone isn't that easy. Besides, once I successfully possess her, who would dare to disrespect me then?" the female ghost said with a smug laugh.

"Fine, I'm leaving everything else to you. I won't interfere anymore." Qin Hui didn't want to get involved in such matters. Although Qin Hui's actions were somewhat questionable, keeping the women was only for the female ghost to possess. But in this world, were there truly good people? Everything was for one's own benefit. Just like ancient kings, when unhappy, killing was commonplace. Qin Hui's current power was equivalent to that of a overlord on the deserted island; dealing with a woman was not difficult at all.

"You can't just not be involved. Wang Xiaoyan's Yin energy is quite good, perfectly suited for your Yin-Yang Dual Life technique. Once you take her, my chances of possessing her will be much higher," the female ghost said slowly. "She is still a virgin. I cannot possess her body smoothly. If I forcibly possess her, she will only meet a dead end."
