"This..."

Mia'er listened to Ye Qiu's words and was stunned. She thought hard and it seemed Ye Qiu made a lot of sense: a giant snake over twenty meters long, as thick as a barrel, was truly unbelievable and scientifically inexplicable.

"That's why there are many unknown things in this world. This giant snake must have mutated due to some unknown elements; its body indeed contains a lot of energy."

"I see."

After Ye Qiu's explanation, Mia'er believed him without doubt.

"Then, could you help me apply it?" Mia'er's face immediately flushed, and she dared not look Ye Qiu in the eye when she said this.

The wound on her calf was alright, but the one on her thigh was dangerously close to the root...

Clearly, it might not be so easy to apply medicine there...

"Alright."

For some unknown reason, Ye Qiu did not refuse Mia'er's request.

Ye Qiu got some snake blood and applied it to Mia'er's calf, then gathered some herbs from nearby to bandage it properly, ensuring a quick recovery for her wound.

After doing all this, Ye Qiu glanced at Mia'er's thigh, gave a light cough, and asked, "Do you want to do it yourself or should I help you?"

"Uh, let me do it myself."

Women from Western countries may be open-minded, but not everyone is wild. At this moment, Mia'er felt a bit nervous and shy, but she decided not to dawdle. She turned around and slowly lowered her skirt, of course, without removing the white panties, only exposing the wound.

Ye Qiu carefully undid the bandage he had applied the previous night, then applied more snake blood and added herbs, finishing the task.

After bandaging, Ye Qiu instinctively glanced at Mia'er's leg.

The light wasn't great the previous night, so he didn't see it well, but now he could see it clearly.

Mia'er's leg was quite beautiful, long, without excess fat, yet not losing its elasticity. They seemed like perfect legs, using a phrase from the internet, these legs could be enjoyed for a lifetime!

"Are you alright?"

At this moment, Ye Qiu suddenly noticed Mia'er's skin had a faint flush all over and hurriedly asked.

"No, nothing's wrong, I just feel a bit hot..." Mia'er said this, but didn't mean it in her heart.

This damned guy, does he really not understand? His hands felt as if filled with magic power, sending waves of warmth while applying the medicine, which caused an unusual sensation inside Mia'er, hmm, at least there was some response in certain places...

However, Ye Qiu wasn't aware and simply said, "It must be the energy from the snake blood being released, but that's not necessarily a bad thing."

Ye Qiu's words made Mia'er roll her eyes. Apparently, this guy is a novice in this area!

Despite feeling a moment of emptiness inside, Mia'er didn't yet feel like demanding Ye Qiu to do anything else. She grumpily put on her pants and stood there without speaking.

Ye Qiu didn't notice Mia'er's unusual state. He glanced into the depths, saying, "Shall we continue deeper?"

Deeper?

These two words intensified Mia'er's vexation, yet she understood the depth Ye Qiu referred to wasn't that kind of depth...

"Alright."

"I'll carry you."

"Mm..."

Mia'er wasn't heavy, barely weighing over a hundred pounds, which was no trouble for Ye Qiu. His feet moved as if with the wind, advancing quickly, even faster than when he wasn't carrying Mia'er.

As they delved deeper, there still weren't any signs of human presence, indicating that no one inhabited this island.

Yet, after walking for half a day, Ye Qiu hadn't encountered a single beast.

Strangely, it was eerily quiet all around, with no insects, no birds, yet the vegetation was even more lush.

From past experiences, Ye Qiu deduced that there was surely something extraordinary ahead, something that frightened all nearby creatures into avoidance.

"What could it be?"

Ye Qiu couldn't help but furrow his brow.

The giant snake from earlier had already kept him busy for quite some time, and if there's something even more formidable waiting ahead, it could threaten his life.

Proceed or retreat?

If Ye Qiu were alone, he'd surely opt to proceed, but it was different now, as he had Mia'er with him.

"Now that we're here, I'm certain there's something unusual ahead. Though I'm unaware of what it is, it's definitely more terrifying than the prior giant snake!" Ye Qiu said seriously to Mia'er.

"Then what should we do?" Mia'er seemed a bit scared.

"There are two options: you can leave now, or you can follow me further."

"Then I choose the latter, to go with you." Mia'er spoke without hesitation.

"Are you not afraid of death? I might not be able to handle whatever lies ahead," Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"I'm not afraid, as long as you're here, why should I be afraid?"

In Mia'er's heart, Ye Qiu seemed like an omnipotent figure; as long as he was around, it meant safety.

"Besides, without you by my side, could I even make it out of this jungle on my own? Anyway, I'm sticking with you. Wherever you go, I'm following," Mia'er replied, somewhat stubbornly.

"Alright."

Ye Qiu didn't say much more and continued deeper.

A moment later, the vegetation disappeared, revealing a structure, a small temple to be precise, and a rather rundown one.

Seeing this rundown temple appear, Ye Qiu began to feel suspicious. The presence of this small temple was too abnormal. Who would build it here without any reason?

Curious, he thought this temple might hold the biggest secret of the island, so he immediately geared up and moved towards it.

The exterior of the temple was very simple, with nothing but an empty space outside.

Upon entering, there were no incense, no candles, not even any statues of God.

Other than that, it looked almost like a normal temple.

"Strange."

The temple appeared normal, yet was undoubtedly unusual. Its architectural style was similar to Huaxia's Buddhist Temple, but why were there no statues inside? It seemed illogical!

Moreover, why is there a Buddhist Temple from Huaxia here? Who built it? What purpose does it serve?

Countless thoughts flooded Ye Qiu's mind.
