Chapter 247 Deserted Island Life
Chapter 247 Deserted Island Life

Ye Xuan took the conch from Zhu Huan's hand. With his physical fitness that was ten times that of an ordinary person, he just tapped the ground lightly and the shell broke into pieces.

Ye Xuan picked out the snail meat, cleaned it, removed the internal organs, rinsed it lightly with sea water, and handed it to Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan looked at the plump snail meat in her hand but had no appetite at all. She thought that as a noble, she had never eaten such rough raw food. She held the snail meat in her hand but didn't know where to start.

Ye Xuan took a look at the snail meat which was as big as half a fist, and then looked at Zhu Huan's mouth which was a little cracked but still as small as a cherry. It was indeed a bit difficult for her to stuff such a big thing into her mouth.

With a slight smile, Ye Xuan took the snail meat, rinsed the ground with sea water, then sharpened the stone chips he picked up, and then used ten of them as knives to cut the snail meat into slightly smaller slices.

Picking up a piece and putting it in his mouth, after chewing it for two bites, Ye Xuan encouraged Zhu Huan: "Hmm, it's very sweet, try it!"

"You haven't eaten for a day. No matter what, you have to have a full stomach to have hope in life."

Zhu Huan hesitated and picked up a piece of snail meat, then put it into his mouth and started chewing it, imitating Ye Xuan's example.

After taking just two bites, Zhu Huan realized the benefits of conch. It was indeed sweet and chewy.

"It's really delicious. How come I haven't eaten it before?"

Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said, "How dare those cooks in the imperial kitchen prepare raw food for the palace? Aren't they afraid of losing their heads?"

Zhu Huan couldn't help but chuckle when he heard that. His pale little face regained some color and he looked as beautiful as a fairy under the moonlight.

Ye Xuan was so stunned that he even forgot to eat the snail meat in his hand.

Zhu Huan's face turned red when he was looked at, but he was secretly delighted in his heart and could not help but lower his head.

Ye Xuan came back to his senses, picked up a piece of snail meat and put it in his mouth, saying, "The good thing about seafood is that most of them can be eaten raw."

The conch was easier to eat after being sliced, but the crab, although sweet in taste, was hard to swallow and there was not much meat, so Ye Xuan ate all of it in the rice before he could finish it.

Two conches and a crab, this was how they had their first dinner on the vast ocean.

After dinner, Ye Xuan leaned casually against the rock and closed his eyes to take a rest. Perhaps he was too tired and fell asleep without realizing it.

When he woke up again, the moonlight outside the cave was still as bright as water, shining on the islands and reefs like a silver thread.

Ye Xuan looked around but couldn't see Zhu Huan. He felt a little panicked and quickly stood up and rushed out of the cave. Then he found that Zhu Huan was standing outside the cave, staring at the distant horizon in a daze. He didn't even notice that Ye Xuan had walked behind him.

"Don't worry, good luck will definitely come to us." Ye Xuan walked behind Zhu Huan and comforted him softly.

Ever since being kidnapped by Hu Weiyong, Zhu Huan had gone from confusion to despair, then to joy at being rescued by Ye Xuan, and then to the helplessness of being stranded on a deserted island.

Zhu Huan had long since stopped concealing his feelings for Ye Xuan. When he saw Ye Xuan, he threw himself directly into Ye Xuan's arms.

Ye Xuan no longer resisted in his heart about Zhu Huan, with whom he had experienced life and death together. At least when it was still unclear whether he could be saved, Ye Xuan did not want to be distracted by future matters and just wanted to enjoy the present.

So he reached out his hand and took Zhu Huan into his arms. A young man and woman hugged each other tightly under the moonlight on this isolated island in the sea.

"Ye Xuan, if we are destined to die at sea, I don't want to leave any regrets!"

After an unknown amount of time of hugging, Zhu Huan suddenly whispered in Ye Xuan's arms.

Ye Xuan lowered his head and looked at the pale little face in his arms, and couldn't help feeling pity in his heart. He probably knew what Zhu Huan wanted to say, but he still said uncertainly: "As long as I can do it."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Huan raised his head and looked into Ye Xuan's eyes. His pale cheeks suddenly flushed. "Ye Xuan, let's get married."

Ye Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He thought that Zhu Huan only wanted to stay together forever, but he never expected that Zhu Huan actually proposed to get married.

Moreover, in this vast ocean, even if Ye Xuan was willing to help, where could he find his parents?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Xuan still nodded. "As long as you want, as long as I can."

After saying that, Ye Xuan took Zhu Huan's hand and bowed down to the moonlight.

"The heavens above and the bright moon are my witnesses. I, Ye Xuan, am willing to marry Zhu Huan and we will never be separated for the rest of our lives."

Zhu Huan's face flushed, staring at Ye Xuan's profile, and then said word by word: "The heavens above and the bright moon are my witnesses. I, Zhu Huan, wish to marry Ye Xuan and never be separated from him for the rest of my life!"

After they finished talking, they smiled at each other and bowed three times to the bright moon in the distance.

"From now on, you are my, Ye Xuan's wife, ma'am!" Ye Xuan raised his hand and stroked Zhu Huan's cheek, chuckling.

Zhu Huan stared into Ye Xuan's eyes for a long time, and only after a long time did she lie in Ye Xuan's arms, murmuring: "Husband!"

The two of them lay on the shore, looking at the stars in the sky. They didn't know how long it had been until they felt the coldness on their bodies. Ye Xuan then stood up and said with a smile: "It's time to enter the bridal chamber, Madam!"

"You..." Zhu Huan stood up, blushing, and said, "I heard that in folk customs, when a wife gets off the bridal sedan, her husband has to carry her into the bridal chamber."

Ye Xuan chuckled and pinched Zhu Huan's cheek, "Okay, okay, Madam, if you have any request, I will grant it!"

After saying that, he turned around and half squatted. After a while, he felt a weight on his back and a peerless face appeared on his shoulders.

It was only a few dozen steps from the shore back to the cave, but it felt long and fleeting to the two of them.

Putting Zhu Huan down, Ye Xuan took off his shirt and covered her with it. He gently stroked her hair and said, "Go to sleep, Madam. With your father by your side, we will be safe."

"Well," Zhu Huan nodded and said shyly, "I heard from the maids in the palace that women have to do some embarrassing things on their wedding night, but I haven't had any maids to teach me yet, so I... I don't know how to do it..."

Zhu Huan seemed a little ashamed and a little anxious because he didn't know what to do next.

Ye Xuan couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He reached out and held Zhu Huan in his arms, saying with a smile, "It's okay. Your husband will teach you!"

Bright moon on the sea, spring scenery in the cave.

But when the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the cave, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes and smoothed the messy temples of the beauty in his arms.

Ye Xuan gently pulled his arm out from under his replaced head, sat up, put on his clothes, walked out of the cave and came to the shore.

He needed to keep an eye on the nearby waters to see if there were any passing ships, and prepare breakfast for his newlywed wife.

After turning around in a circle, the sea around me was still calm. Apart from a few seagulls flying low over the water, there was still nothing around me.

With a slight sigh, Ye Xuan began to look for food.
