"Yifan! Where did you get this from?" An Qi asked curiously.
"I extracted it from a giant white butterfly clam," Lin Yifan answered.
"Giant white butterfly clam? Weren't you bitten?" An Qi suddenly became worried.
The biting force of shellfish is incredibly strong; even robust people cannot withstand it, let alone a giant white butterfly clam, so she was genuinely concerned about Lin Yifan getting bitten.
"No! I'm a psychic, and I can fight against great white sharks and colossal sea snakes, so a mere giant white butterfly clam is no big deal," Lin Yifan replied with ease.
But An Qi was still not reassured, so she grabbed his hand to check. Only after seeing that there was indeed no injury did she finally relax.
"Baby! Do you golden pearl?" Lin Yifan asked full of curiosity.
"I like it! I like it very much! I like it extremely! I like it immensely! I like it so much it's unbelievable!" The joy in An Qi's heart was beyond words; at that moment, the best response was to wrap her arms around Lin Yifan's neck and kiss him deeply.
Ten minutes later, they reluctantly parted from each other.
At that time, An Qi's face blushed with happiness, sweetness, and bashfulness — a complex mix of emotions.
"Yifan! I want to make this golden pearl into a necklace and wear it forever," An Qi excitedly said.
This was a precious gift with great sentimental value — to her, it was even more important than a big diamond.
"As long as you like it, that's enough!" Lin Yifan had no objections, for in the end, it was all about love between them.
"Then it's settled!" After saying that, An Qi hugged Lin Yifan, basking in his care and affection.
After the hug, they began cooking a feast.
Grouper fish and giant lobsters were even more delicious than bee pupae.
Lin Yifan and An Qi each took one and started grilling.
Soon, the delicious aroma filled the air; at this moment, An Qi, who was ravenous, wanted nothing more than to open her mouth and take a bite.
However, Lin Yifan stopped her.
Food that's just been cooked is very hot, and biting into it directly could burn the mouth; so Lin Yifan prevented her from doing so to keep her from getting burned.
After halting An Qi's impulsive act, Lin Yifan began picking food for her.
First, they ate grouper fish.
After cutting off a large piece of the tender, white fish meat, Lin Yifan blew on it to cool it down before handing it to An Qi to eat.
Feeling the thorough care, An Qi was moved. At that moment, she fell for Lin Yifan even more.
"Don't mention it, you are my treasure. Moreover, I have said that I want to cherish you; so now, I'm just keeping my promise," Lin Yifan cut off An Qi's thanks, wanting their conversation to be free of any barriers and to become more intimate.
Upon hearing these words, An Qi's heart bloomed with joy: "I, An Qi, have indeed not loved the wrong person."
No sooner had she finished speaking, another piece of cooled fish meat was brought to her lips.
"Come on! Eat another piece of fish!"
An Qi opened her mouth eagerly and took another bite.
"Mmm! Delicious! Tastes so much better than any exotic delicacy." This was no insincere flattery but a genuine compliment from the heart; because such food contains flavors that exotic delicacies don't, like the sweet taste of love.
He fed An Qi a bite, then himself; that way, they finished off a four-pound grouper.
Next, they started on the roasted and cooked golden dragon lobster.
This dragon lobster was over forty centimeters long, a truly large specimen, more than enough to fill their empty stomachs.
"To be able to eat such a big dragon lobster on this island, I'm so happy!" An Qi savored the tender lobster meat with delight.
The lobster was meaty, and the best part was that it was boneless, making it an exceptionally satisfying meal to eat.
Just when their meal was nearly over, Lin Yifan suddenly heard the sound of an engine puttering from a distance over the sea.
His first reaction was that a fishing boat was passing by, so he immediately grabbed a torch and ran to light the beacon in Beacon Tower.
In an instant, the fire blazed up, followed by billowing black smoke.
Lin Yifan stood next to Beacon Tower, shouting and waving his arms continuously, trying to draw the attention of the distant fishing boat.
Seeing that a fishing boat had appeared, An Qi also ran over, waving her arms and shouting loudly together.
The fishermen on the distant fishing boat seemed to have noticed the situation on the island and turned their boat towards them.
Seeing this sight, An Qi and Lin Yifan hugged each other excitedly and celebrated the next moment.
"Oh yeah! We can finally go home!"
After a while, the large fishing boat approached within a hundred meters of the beach. Then, the boat stopped.
There were reefs near the beach, and the risk of running aground was high, so the fishing boat did not want to take that risk; hence, they motioned for Lin Yifan and his companion to come over by themselves.
Lin Yifan understood what the fishing boat meant, so he pulled An Qi over to the side of their motorboat.
Upon arriving, he first pushed the motorboat into the sea, then began to urge, "Honey! Get on the motorboat quick!"
"What about you?" An Qi asked.
"Of course, I'll be pushing you from behind!" Lin Yifan replied.
To avoid getting An Qi wet, this was the only method available.
"Yifan! It's so wonderful to have you!" An Qi was moved and felt blessed.
Lin Yifan's affection for her was meticulous; he didn't even want her to get a drop of seawater on her, truly spoiling her to the heavens.
"Alright! No more talking, hurry up and get on! Let's not keep them waiting," Lin Yifan urged again.
"Okay!" With a nod, An Qi sat on the motorboat.
Then, Lin Yifan pushed the motorboat out with force; when the water reached his chest, he floated up and paddled his legs continuously, propelling the broken motorboat that An Qi was on.
Now, he was acting like a propeller, powering the motorboat for An Qi.
Feeling that swift speed, An Qi was astonished; this was hardly weaker than an actual propeller.
The fishermen on the boat anchored in the distance were also stunned by this scene. Such an odd occurrence, truth be told, was a first for them too.
"Gosh! There really are such remarkable people in the world, no wonder they survived on Snake Island," exclaimed someone on the fishing boat.
They were well aware of the little island before them; it was an uninhabited place where no one dared to linger, not even for a minute. That was the paradise of venomous sea snakes. If you wanted to stay alive, it was best to avoid provocation, or else death was the only outcome.
