Desert Island Girl (Pure Lily) - Chapter 38.1

To prevent the wolf pack’s attack, Mu Xiaoyang suggested building a wooden fence around the tent as a barrier and distilling liquor into alcohol to make Molotov cocktails to deal with the wolves.

After a brief discussion, the girls decided to work together and gather small trees around as raw materials for the fence.

After learning about wolves on the island, splitting up would have been too foolish.

However, they didn’t rush into action.

The afternoon sun was too intense.

Working under the blazing sun could cause heatstroke, which would be troublesome.

Waiting until the sun weakened was not too late.

As the saying goes, haste makes waste.

Sometimes, pausing and waiting led to better results.

Jiang Ning lay bored on the bed and said weakly, “So boring… How about we have s3x again?”

Mu Xiaoyang’s cheeks reddened, and she glanced at Jiang Ning lightly.

“Don’t always think about s3x. We need to save energy now to have strength for work later. We can’t cut thick trees, only small trunks, which will take a lot of effort.”

Mu Xiaoyang paused, as if remembering something, and said, “By the way, young lady, stay in the tent. You don’t need to come with us. If you’re free, just take a nap.”

Jiang Ning quickly climbed off the bed and asked, “Huh? Why? Why not take me?”

She hated being left behind by the group.

Mu Xiaoyang shook her head, sighed, and said, “Your body is too weak, Ning’er. It’s not that we don’t want you, but you just recovered from illness. Breaking branches, carrying wood, digging holes, and planting stakes—you can’t handle that.”

Jiang Ning patted her chest confidently and said, “It’s fine! I’m all better! No problem at all! I won’t hold anyone back. I can help!”

Seeing her determined look, Yi Yun covered her mouth and smiled. She said, “The young lady wants to do the work of servants? Listen, if you really want to come, how about standing aside and directing us? We need someone to guide us from the side.”

It was a great idea.

It lets the young lady stay with everyone while protecting her safety and health.

Perfect for both sides.

Jiang Ning asked, “Directing?”

Her eyes lit up instantly.

She puffed out her chest, looking superior, and said, “Really… you guys leave me no choice! Since you want to follow my orders so badly, I’ll reluctantly direct everyone!”

Her face screamed “excited,” not “reluctant” at all.

Though they teased her, Mu Xiaoyang saw Jiang Ning’s happy expression and smiled with relief.

She thought everyone’s happiness was most important.

She vowed not to let that smiling face stay in this deserted place forever.

She had to find a way to leave and return to civilization.

Lin Tingting rested her chin on her hand and said, “Speaking of… we don’t have electricity. It’s so inconvenient.”

She added, “If we had electricity, it would be great. There are scattered phones, gaming consoles, TVs, and laptops on the ship. We have outlets and cables too. With electricity, we could sit together, watch TV, use computers, and play games.”

Jiang Ning hugged her head in pain and said, “Stop it, Tingting. I’m trying to get used to life without electricity. You’re tempting me, and I can’t resist.”

Mu Xiaoyang felt a bit awkward, thinking Tingting’s words sounded odd.

Mu Mu lay on the bed, conserving energy, and said, “The ship’s lower deck has large generators, but we can’t dismantle them. Even if we could, we don’t have fuel to run them.”

Yi Yun sat on the bed with her long legs crossed and said, “Yeah, but if we had electricity, life on the island would be much easier.”

Thinking of electricity, a symbol of modern civilization, she felt excited, as if they already had it.

Watching movies, playing games, listening to music—many everyday machines that needed electricity would come alive.

At that time, life on the island would feel like a vacation.

Mu Xiaoyang also craved electricity.

With it, many impossible things would become possible.

But thinking about it now was pointless.

Forget electricity—wolf packs roamed the island, and their lives were at risk.

If wolves existed, other wild animals might too.

They chatted and dreamed about the future.

By afternoon, the temperature dropped significantly. The girls grabbed their knives and left the tent.

Mu Xiaoyang lifted the tent flap, and the dazzling sunlight made her shield her eyes.

The forest was lush with greenery, the sky clear and blue, and insects and birds sang vibrantly.

It hardly looked like a terrifying storm had hit the night before.

The ground underfoot became firm again, no longer feeling like stepping in muck.

Mu Xiaoyang looked at the wooden furniture not brought back into the tent.

After being soaked by rain and baked by the morning sun, many pieces cracked and became fragile, mostly unusable.

This was a small but significant loss, and Mu Xiaoyang felt pained.

She wasn’t pained about the furniture but about Mu Mu.

After all, Mu Mu had carried most of the furniture from the beach bit by bit.

Now, ruined by rain, it turned into firewood, as if Mu Mu’s efforts were wasted.

Mu Mu saw Mu Xiaoyang sadly touching the furniture and comforted her, saying, “It’s okay, Xiaoyang. Don’t feel bad. There’s plenty more furniture on the ship. We can get more.”

Mu Xiaoyang thought, “Silly Mu Mu, I’m heartbroken for you.”

She smiled softly, looked at Mu Mu shyly, her smile tinged with sweet affection and melancholy.

She nodded gently and threw herself into Mu Mu’s arms.
