Return to the City: The Strongest King
Chapter 961 - 962 Ambition

Chapter 961: Chapter 962 Ambition

This cave is really small, about three to four meters deep, and only around two meters wide. To put it plainly, it’s not much bigger than a double bed back home.

While gathering dry wood earlier, Song Xiaodong also found some green grass. When the four of them were about to lie down, he crushed the grass into juice, sprinkled some on each of them, and scattered the rest at the cave entrance.

"Big Brother Song, what are you doing?" Wu Xiaoya, having already learned Song Xiaodong’s name, asked curiously.

Song Xiaodong replied, "This is to ward off mosquitoes. The mosquitoes on this island are numerous, and if we don’t take some measures, we’d end up feeding them all night."

"Does this stuff even work?" Wu Xiaoya asked with a hint of doubt.

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "It should work. It’s better than nothing." Then he directly lay down on the dry grass.

Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan immediately snuggled up to his sides.

Even though the light inside the cave was quite dim, Wu Xiaoya could vaguely see where the three of them lay. At first, she hadn’t paid much attention to Song Xiaodong’s relationship with the two women. After all, survival was their priority at the time, and whether Miao Qingqing or Miao Xuanxuan was Song Xiaodong’s wife, their closeness seemed natural.

But now that they were relatively safe, the fact that the three of them continued to lie together like this left her somewhat confused.

"Your relationship... I’m a bit puzzled," Wu Xiaoya asked out of curiosity.

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled softly and said, "We’re both his wives."

"Huh?" Wu Xiaoya’s eyes widened in shock. Miao Xuanxuan’s straightforwardness left her unsure how to respond.

Miao Xuanxuan added, "Are you finding this a bit shocking?"

"Well... it really is," Wu Xiaoya admitted hesitantly as she lay down herself.

Miao Xuanxuan said casually, "We all love him and don’t want to leave him, so this is how it is."

Miao Qingqing yawned and said, "Let’s talk more tomorrow. I’m so tired and drained today."

Miao Xuanxuan quickly chimed in, "Exactly! Our husband is still injured. First, we need to let him heal. Once he’s better, those bastards won’t stand a chance to flaunt their arrogance before us!"

Wu Xiaoya was even more puzzled now, but seeing that the others were ready to rest, she didn’t press further. She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep too.

Despite the poor environment, Song Xiaodong slept quite well. He had been utterly exhausted these past two days.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have any silver needles with him. If he did, he could recover somewhat tonight.

It wasn’t clear how long he slept before he woke up. Miao Qingqing and the others were already awake and chatting outside the cave.

"Husband, are you feeling better?" Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan immediately asked with a hint of urgency in their expressions.

"Much better. Don’t worry," Song Xiaodong replied with a smile, stretching lazily. "Let’s go find some fruit to eat."

While gathering fruit, the group climbed to a higher vantage point and looked toward the beach.

From above, they could clearly see what was happening down there.

"Ugh, despicable!" Miao Qingqing spat in disgust.

Miao Xuanxuan curled her lips and said, "Unbelievable. It’s not just regular fooling around—they’re having a group orgy."

Being wives and having spent considerable time with Song Xiaodong, the two women were somewhat desensitized to such scenes and didn’t shy away from watching.

But Wu Xiaoya, on the other hand, blushed deeply, immediately turning her head. "This... this is just too..." She couldn’t finish the sentence, as she was unwilling to utter more distasteful words.

Song Xiaodong frowned and said, "Those people are hopeless. Even Li Fangding is involved. I fear that before anyone can leave the island, those women might fall victim to their cruelty."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted, "Well, that’s their problem. Yesterday we offered to let them follow us, but they refused."

Song Xiaodong shook his head helplessly and took another careful look around. "This small island is completely uninhabited, a true deserted island. We drifted so far out—I really don’t know when rescue might arrive."

"Oh no, our families must be so worried," Miao Qingqing exclaimed softly.

Miao Xuanxuan curled her lips and said, "They probably think we’re dead."

Miao Qingqing added, "If they believe we’re dead, then the Su Family will be in chaos. It might lead to a lot of issues."

Song Xiaodong said, "Worrying about that is inevitable, but there’s not much we can do about it from here. Maybe this incident will actually reveal which friends and enemies are true. For now, we need to focus on surviving here. Once those men run out of water, they’ll start searching for fresh water and will likely comb through this island. We need to plan carefully to evade them. I estimate I’ll need two more days to recover some True Qi, at which point I can deal with them."

Miao Xuanxuan said, "Then let’s give them two more days of free rein. We’ll stay hidden. This island may be small, but there aren’t many of them, so it won’t be easy for them to catch us."

Song Xiaodong nodded. "They have a lot of people, so finding a place to stay in the mountains will be a challenge for them. Besides, they need to stay near the beach to await rescue. As long as we avoid them when they come searching, we should be fine staying on the mountain."

Just as Song Xiaodong predicted, four men climbed up the mountain and searched around, chatting enthusiastically along the way.

"Damn, this kind of life isn’t bad either—it’s a blast!"

"Yeah, but it sucks those three prettiest women ran off. If we could get them here, it’d be even better."

"Heh, this island isn’t big. We’ll find them eventually. Look at all this fruit here—they’ll definitely come here to pick some. We can hide and wait for them to show up."

The four men talked as they gathered fruit, then headed back down.

Song Xiaodong, who had been hiding the entire time and listening to their conversation, couldn’t hide his grim expression. Knowing their sinister plans, he vowed not to let them off the hook.

After a while, a large group of people came up, picked a lot of fruit, and left in high spirits.

As for the women among them, though they had effectively become playthings for Li Fangding and the others, none of them seemed inclined to escape or resist. Perhaps they saw it as a means of surviving.

Finally done writing this... Time to sleep...
