Chapter 397 Plan
Chapter 397 Plan
“OK, no problem.” Fangfang and Yunxia replied in unison, and then walked into the forest.
"Ruyu, Baixue, you two go to the shallow reef ahead and see if there are any crabs or anything like that. Catch some and bring them back."
"Okay, we'll go right away." The two replied and hurried off.
That's what you call making use of what's available; he truly deserves to be called a qualified strategist!
Tang Qianqian looked around and then said, "Sister Baihe, I don't see any good places for a barbecue around here. How about we go for a spin around the island and see where we can find a good spot?"
“Yes, no problem.” Lily nodded in agreement.
The two walked along the beach until they finally stopped at the foot of a cliff where fresh water flowed down.
"This place is nice; it has fresh water and shade." Tang Qianqian took a liking to this place at first glance.
"It's a nice place, Qianqian. You deliberately sent all the other sisters away because you wanted to tell me something, right?" Baihe had already seen through Tang Qianqian's little scheme, and only asked now. Having been with her sisters for so long, Baihe had figured out everyone's thoughts perfectly.
"Yes." Tang Qianqian answered without denying it, "Sister Baihe, my dad called me yesterday."
"Oh? Did Uncle say anything?" Lily asked.
"My dad meant that we should stop taking on dangerous tasks and instead set up a help group specifically to solve problems for others."
"Set up an assistance team?" Lily was slightly taken aback.
"Well, what my dad said actually makes a lot of sense. The country has teams like the Shenlong Team, so we don't need to get involved. Besides, some missions aren't suitable for us women. I've been thinking, what if we set up a support group, like helping people solve their problems and resolve conflicts? That would make our lives much more colorful. What do you think, Lily?" Tang Qianqian shared her thoughts.
"..." Baihe thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's true. Although every member of our female special forces unit has extraordinary abilities, there are always stronger people out there. Our female special forces unit is not invincible. After these personal experiences, I'm actually a little scared. Young Master entrusted you all to me before he left, so I must protect your safety. If anything happens to any of you, how can I explain it to Young Master? Qianqian, I think Uncle's suggestion is good, I agree." Baihe immediately stated her position.
"Yes, I sent them away because I wanted to discuss this with you."
After all, Baihe is the leader and the captain of the women's special forces. For some crucial decisions, Tang Qianqian, the strategist, still needs to consult with her, because she simply cannot make the decisions herself.
"Okay, then it's settled. We'll discuss it with the girls when we get back tonight."
"Big sister, strategist, so you're here!" Fangfang and Yunxia returned, each carrying a bundle of dry branches, a truly bountiful return!
"Where are Ruyu and the other two?" Yunxia asked.
"I sent them to catch crabs," Tang Qianqian replied.
"Catching crabs? That sounds like fun, I want to go too." Fangfang immediately became interested when she heard that there were crabs to catch. She had caught loaches and frogs when she was a child, but she had never caught crabs.
"I'll go with you." Yunxia put down the firewood she was holding, ready to go crabbing with Fangfang.
"What are you arresting? They're all back," Lily said, glancing behind them.
"Big sister, strategist, guess what we caught!" From afar, Ruyu was seen returning carrying a red bucket, with Baixue following behind. The two girls were overjoyed and began to show off.
"What do you have?" Fangfang and Yunxia quickly came to greet them.
"Wow, so many crabs! And fish too!" Yunxia exclaimed excitedly, then pointed at the strange, unfamiliar things in the bucket and asked, "Huh? What are these?"
"We don't know either, we just picked it up."
Neither Ruyu nor Baixue had ever seen this strange thing before.
"Never seen this before, have you? These are abalone, they're delicious." Fangfang recognized them at a glance, having eaten plenty of them before.
"Wow, what a haul! We'll have plenty to eat later!" Yunxia exclaimed excitedly, her eating manners quite lively.
Soon, Li Wei and the other three people in charge of purchasing returned, carrying large and small bags filled with food and drinks.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Wei patted his round belly and said, "Oh my god! I'm so full! Sister, strategist, is there anything planned for us next?"
Everyone else ate and drank to their heart's content, and naturally, they all ate their fill.
"I'm so full I don't want to move. If you want a show, you can arrange it yourself!" Lily leaned against the cliff wall, seemingly resting.
“Everyone has eaten and drunk their fill. It’s midday now, the time when the sun is at its hottest. Let’s find a cooler place to rest for a while!” Zhang Xiuli said, glancing at the blazing sun and squinting her eyes.
"I agree."
"I agree too."
"I agree too."
"..."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go rest!" Lily finally made the decision.
For them, having reached their level of cultivation, although they could go a month without eating or drinking without any problem, they didn't think so. In addition to cultivation, they still had to eat and drink as usual. They wouldn't be foolish enough to deprive themselves.
After finding a clean stretch of sand on the shady side of the beach, they lay or sat down and chatted idly about everything under the sun until evening, when they finally left the island and returned to the mainland.
However, as they stepped onto land, they saw a woman in a long white dress standing on a rock by the sea not far away. In the evening breeze, her dress fluttered, and even her long, flowing hair was swaying in the wind.
However, her expression seemed a little off.
"Huh? Who is that girl?" Yunxia asked, looking puzzled.
"I don't know her," Ruyu was the first to answer.
The girl looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but she stood on the reef with tears streaming down her face, her expression dazed and her eyes vacant, as if she had suffered some kind of blow and was extremely sad.
"She looks so sad, could it be that something sad happened... Oh! She jumped!" Li Wei exclaimed as he spoke.
"Quick! Save them!" everyone exclaimed in unison.
