Chapter Thirty-Three: The World of Three People

  The news brought by the Ice and Snow Beauty made everyone a little silent. Du Wei's heart was heavy with worry, frowning in deep thought.

  A monster that can easily swallow a dragon!

  A monster that can easily defeat a dragon and an 8th-level magician!

  Du Wei left the sisters and walked to the seaside, trying to calm down his restless mind with the cool sea breeze.

  Yes, monsters... a place where magic is suppressed... can't use magic... no food, no fresh water...

  Du Wei sighed and muttered to himself: "It seems it can only be like this..."

  As he spoke, he turned around and went back into the woods, returning to the side of the two sisters. At this time, the Ice Snow Beauty was having a heated debate with Vivian about something.

  Oh, or maybe it's not right to use the word "debate" because it seems like only Bingqing is speaking. Basically, with Xiao Weiwei's stutter, it's impossible for her to have any kind of verbal dispute with her.

  "You should have given me that damn Phantom a long time ago! Do you know? That old man doesn't even know where we are now, and you still expect him to come and save you? Hmph..."

  "What's wrong?" Du Wei walked over, took a look at Vivian, who looked wronged, her eyes red, and carefully looked at Du Wei: "N... nothing."

  "What's going on with you two sisters? One is as honest as a newborn chick, and the other is as violent as a mother dragon." Du Wei sat down, busying himself by piling up twigs to prepare for starting a fire.

  The beauty hummed, although she was somewhat annoyed at Du Wei's bold words, but she had said that she would not make things difficult for Du Wei since he had saved her once. She couldn't immediately go back on her own words, so she could only hold back her temper and endure it.

  Vivian glanced at her sister and then at Du Wei, unable to help herself, she shifted slightly and leaned in a bit closer to Du Wei.

  The beauty in the snow and ice looked at him with disdain and muttered: "A wicked rascal who abducts young girls!"

  Du Wei shot back without hesitation: "A female bandit who steals people's belongings."

  The beauty in the snow and ice was furious, her eyes wide with anger as she stared at Du Wei, on the verge of exploding...

  But at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly dissipated the ice beauty's anger and momentum.

  Ggg... gggg...

  Du Wei couldn't help but smile wryly and gave this ice beauty a glance that was almost a smile.

  The beauty's face turned red with anger, but this time her anger was reduced by a few points, and 70% of it was replaced with shyness. The remaining 30% of her anger didn't seem intimidating anymore.

  "Strange... did I hear it wrong? What was that sound just now? Could it be the monster on the island calling out?" Du Wei said to himself in a loud voice.

  The beauty's face turned red as if blood was about to drip from it, she glared at Du Wei with hatred and gritted her teeth, saying in a low voice: "It... was me!"

  "Who?" Du Wei deliberately widened his eyes.

  "......" The beauty in the snow and ice felt that her lungs were about to burst, finally shouting loudly: "It's me! It's my stomach growling! I'm hungry! It's almost dark! Don't you guys eat?!

  "Eat, of course eat." Du Wei lazily stretched: "If there's food to eat, I'd also like to eat."

  Next to Vivian, she touched her belly and under the gaze of the ice and snow beauty's widened eyes, she took out a black and suspicious-looking plant root and said in a low voice: "Sister, sister... if you're hungry, eat this first."

  "What is this?" The ice and snow beauty frowned, then she suddenly became furious, jumped up, stared at Du Wei: "You wicked boy! You let my sister eat this kind of thing! This tree root?!!"

  Du Wei said coldly: "If you don't want to eat, then just starve."

  The beauty in the snow and ice became even more enraged: "Bastard! Can't you catch a couple of wild beasts?"

  "Ha ha! 'Beast'? Go catch it then! If you can, I'll definitely sing a hymn to the great God for your greatness! Go!"

  Vivian quietly pulled Ice Snow Beauty and whispered: "Sister... there's nothing on this island..."

  Du Wei turned around, his voice cold: "You decide for yourself, either you eat these things or you go hungry. When you're starving and have no strength tomorrow, I might just take the opportunity to get revenge and kick you into the sea."

  This sentence is more useful than anything else.

  The beauty of ice and snow immediately grabbed a handful of grass roots handed over by Vivian and stuffed them into her mouth, biting down.

  She ate with a frown on her face... She had probably never eaten anything so disgusting in her life! Good heavens! How could I, a proud and dignified person... eat grass? Was I a horse or a cow?!

  She ate more and more angrily, and also faster. After all, her stomach was starving, and she quickly finished the handful of roots. Although it was unpalatable, her stomach did feel a bit fuller, and she couldn't help but glance at Vivian: "Is there any more?"

  "......That's it." Vivian said with a helpless expression.

  "...is that all?" The ice and snow beauty was stunned for a moment.

  What kind of world is this! No fish and meat are nothing! Even if we have to eat grass roots, can't we even get full?!

  "Listen up." Du Wei turned around, his eyes cold, staring at the ice and snow beauty: "I think you need to understand our current situation! We are on a deserted island, no food, no drink! Do you know that what you just ate was Vivian's ration for today? Do you know that I almost ran for an entire morning to get this little bit of food? And you? You just sat down and took it. After eating your sister's rations, not a hint of guilt or gratitude. Just complaints... So let me tell you, if you're still hungry, go find something yourself! Hope tomorrow you won't be using someone else's rations again! Here, no one is a noble, neither you, nor I, nor Vivian! No one will serve you!"

  Du Wei's impolite expression made the Ice and Snow Beauty very angry, and such accusations also made her feel very embarrassed.

  But unexpectedly... The ice and snow beauty looked at Du Wei's serious face, but found that she couldn't say a word of refutation. This thin and weak young man, who could be kicked down with just one foot, was now accusing her, and the ice and snow beauty suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart... Yes, guilty! She felt so guilty that she didn't even dare to look into his eyes.

  For the first time, the ice and snow beauty suddenly felt that she was facing such an impolite lesson, but she couldn't muster up any thought of resistance. The eyes of this thin and weak young man in front of her were so calm and cold, his thin body in the night color, seemed like a big tree!

  "I...I see, I...I didn't mean to eat Vivian's things, I..." The ice beauty said halfway, but suddenly found her tone was really weak...not like herself!

  Why should I apologize to this little kid!？

  Du Wei smiled lightly and turned his head back to gaze at the sky again.

  The fog has not yet dispersed, and not a single star can be seen in the sky...

  Du Wei sighed: "Sleep, we still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

  He added a few branches to the fire, then suddenly looked at Vivian who was sitting and didn't dare to speak. His heart couldn't help but soften, and he almost naturally stretched out his hand to pat Vivian's head: "Little silly, are you hungry?"

  Vivian was taken aback for a moment, first shaking her head, but then nodded slightly with embarrassment.

  "Sorry, I'm the only man here, so by rights I should be taking care of you." Du Wei smiled wryly: "Unfortunately, I've let you go hungry. Hmm, how about this? Go to sleep, and in your mind imagine that this island is a huge cake, with these trees around us as candles stuck into the cake... You're lying on top of a big, fragrant, sweet cake... Sleep tight, and in your dreams you can have a big feast."

  Cake? Vivian's eyes lit up.

  Du Wei had already turned around and left, but Vivian was still quietly watching his back.

  ……

  Du Wei woke up early in the morning.

  To be exact, he was woken up by hunger. He had eaten so little of the unpalatable fruit yesterday that his stomach was almost empty and aching, and the fruit was also very sour, adding to the acid in his stomach, Du Wei was tormented by this feeling and hardly slept all night.

  When he woke up, he found that the icy beauty had also woken up and was sitting there with her hands on her stomach in a daze.

  "Awake? Hungry?" Du Wei felt that his words last night were a bit too heavy, after all, this woman still didn't know the situation on the island, and couldn't help but soften his tone a little.

  "Not hungry!" The ice and snow beauty shook her head, she was obviously lying. After thinking for a moment, she said: "Where is the water? I want to wash my face!"

  "If you walk a bit further out, you can see the sea."

  "...You want me to wash my face with seawater?" The ice and snow beauty widened her eyes.

  "Sorry, our freshwater is very scarce and can barely guarantee drinking."

  This time, the ice and snow beauty did not argue again, but sighed, stood up and went in the direction of the seaside.

  In the morning, Du Wei went out again to look for food. This time he spent more time because there was one more person and one more mouth to feed. He brought back a handful of plant roots again.

  This time, the ice and snow beauty didn't say a word, took it over and ate it.

  Du Wei smiled: "Hey."

  "What?!"

  "Actually..." Du Wei suddenly felt that this woman wasn't so despicable after all... From her current behavior, she was just a child acting out with anger in her heart. Du Wei held back his smile: "Although the food is a bit plain... but at least you can wash off the dirt on top and eat it clean."

  “……”

  The woman's face sank again, Du Wei quickly changed the subject: "Now we're stuck together here, just like companions on a boat... I don't even know your name yet."

  Duvie said, a smile on his face as he stood up and made a standard noble gesture, then laughed: "I, Duvie Rolin, current head of the Rolin family, Vice-President of the Imperial General Staff, son of Count Raymond."

  The ice queen hesitated for a moment, clearly somewhat displeased, but still said: "My name is Joanna."

  Joanna... quite a nice name.

  Vivian next to them saw that Du Wei and her sister had finally stopped arguing, so she quickly added: "You can also call her JoJo."

  Qiao Qiao... what a strange name.

  "Shut up, Vivian." Joanna said coldly, then glanced at Du Wei: "That name, only my parents can call me that. If you dare to call me that, you're dead."

  "Alright." Du Wei didn't mind either: "Miss Joana, now that we've met, it's time to get down to business."

  "What work? What kind of work?"

  Du Wei's smile faded, and he said seriously: "We need to think of a way to leave this place! I have an idea in my mind..."

  I'd like to say something to those old readers who have seen the evil atmosphere: The name doesn't represent anything, I just didn't bother thinking of a name, hehe.

  But... look, Weiwei's sister is Qiaoqiao... suddenly I have a feeling that the sky has fallen... haha)
