Chapter 646: Cannot Leave

intentionally went to find Samba and snuck off to look for Junzhi牧 and the others. Unexpectedly, they encountered Zhu Xiaowei and Pei Haoran at the chief's place of the wild people and heard about the...As dusk descended, the island gradually fell silent. Darkness enveloped the world between heaven and earth.

During the day, the noise of the savage market is deafening. As night falls, all the savages instinctively pack up their things and return to their homes. Even those without a home gather peacefully in the Savage Square to spend the silent night.

For Samba, tonight was particularly deserted and quiet.

The cub is gone.

Sambo stood foolishly in front of the hut. After hearing what the young one had told him, the young one had left him with a great deal of gold. Sambo didn't need the gold, but the young one said it was all for him.

The cub also said that she wanted to go home, that her home was very far away.

He will never see the cubs again.

Samba stood there foolishly, motionless, watching the large group of figures gradually disappear into the distance. The cubs were gone too.

Qiao Bao'er and Lu Qinian returned to the palace with their group.

She left without looking back.

Qiao Bao'er's expression was tight, showing neither sadness nor reluctance. She had only done what she should have done. Samba and she were different species, parting ways was inevitable.

But even so, Qiao Bao'er's suppressed disappointment was still a bit painful.

Jojo Bao'er hated saying goodbye.

"You really said goodbye to that wild man" Lu Qinian, who was always talkative, leaned into her ear and asked in surprise.

Jo Baoer glanced at him, saying nothing.

"Joe, well done. We and the savages aren't on the same path." Lu Qinan chuckled to himself.

"...Don't get Samba involved in your troubles."

Jo Bao'er warned, "The life of a wild man is simple. Samba should return to his original life and avoid being dragged down by people like Jun Zhimu, lest he get into big trouble."

Lu Qinnan snorted, finding her overprotective of that big oaf. What was so great about Samba He just gave her a few pieces of roasted meat back then.

Jo Bao'er expressed her favoritism with her actions. Upon returning to the palace, the first thing she did was seek revenge!

"...Rainer."

Ren was imprisoned by Junzhi Mu and his men. Qiao Bao'er brought a gun to the rescue, but her aim was poor. She fired wildly, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The deterrent effect is pretty good.

Reina shrunk back into a corner, looking at Qiao Bao'er with fear, muttering some native tongue.

"From now on, if you dare to bother Samba again, I'll use this on you."

Qiaobao'er looked straight at Rainer and casually told him, "I burned down your hut."

Rainer's eyes widened, not with anger or resentment, but with even greater fear.

For savages, they are naturally inclined to worship the strong and practice might makes right. Especially for a savage like Reina, he needs to be made to fear and respect you in order to have a deterrent effect.

Qiao Baoer successfully frightened Rainer, and it's estimated that Rainer will avoid Samba from now on.

Their lord watched her from the sidelines, without hindering her or uttering a word.

The palace servants had prepared a sumptuous dinner for them. Compared to the coarse, barbecue fare they used to eat with Samba, the palace offered an array of delicate, red-braised and stewed dishes, assorted breads, milk, and even exceptionally fine fruits.

"... I'm going to take a shower first."

Qiao Bao'er felt somewhat physically and mentally exhausted. Looking at this table full of sumptuous dinner, she always felt a sense of emptiness and unfamiliarity in her heart.

Jun Zhi Mu simply postponed dinner. Everyone went back to their rooms to wash up and tidy themselves, and they would gather together for dinner later to discuss some important matters as well.

Before living with Samba, taking a bath was a luxury. We'd just wash ourselves in the river, getting soaked from head to toe. Our clothes would be dripping wet and we'd have to let them dry naturally in the sun and wind.

Qiao Bao'er was soaking in the warm water at this time, her mind became hazy. Sometimes she really couldn't tell what was real and what was illusory.

Samba returned to his primal, wild life, while she went back to where she belonged.

After soaking in a hot bath, Qiao Baoer tried her best to cheer herself up. She patted her cheeks with both hands and said, "… After going back, I have to get together with my aunt and the others and live a good life."

"We can't go back now."

When Qiao Bao'er changed into new clothes and walked into the restaurant where they were having their meal, she heard Jun Zhimu talking to Lu Qinian and the others.

"Surprised, Qiao Baoer asked," Aren't you going back"

She thought that Junzhi Mu and they would be eager to leave the island.

"Initially, we did land on the island to find Qiao Bao'er."

But so far, we have no news……

The monkey wore a worried expression, even though the shrew usually picked on him. Still, his brothers didn't want to hear the bad news.

"I saw the one who was dragged into the palace by the wild guards at the time," Qiao Bao'er sat down directly in an empty spot. She sat between Lu Qinan and Zhu Xiaowei, with Jun Zhim牧 opposite her.

Jun Zhi Mu raised his eyes to look at her, "When" His tone was like a superior coldly asking a subordinate.

qiao bao'er didn't care about his indifference to her, "it's been about two months."

"Did you really see him enter the palace two months ago"

But the savages in the palace, and all the hired servants, said they had never seen him.

Their team had someone skilled at drawing portraits. They questioned everyone in the palace with charcoal sketches, but no one recognized it. They even secretly inquired for days at the wild people's market outside, but found nothing.

"Could he have been harmed" the crab murmured to himself.

Jo Bao'er looked a bit excited as she retorted, "Impossible! I saw with my own eyes someone kill a wild man guard. She was so skilled and intelligent, there’s no way..."

At the time of the plane crash, if it weren't for her traveling companion, she wouldn't have lived so long.

For a long time, the pursuit of something had been her driving force to survive on this island. She wasn't as strong as Lu Qinan and the others described. She had also considered giving up at times.

"Aren't we really leaving this archipelago now" Pei Haoran suddenly spoke.

"Raphael has ulterior motives. He wants us to stay on the island, just so he can use us," Pei Haoran looked around at everyone, " … The further we go, the more dangerous the road ahead will be."

"I think we shouldn't stay on the island any longer, it's too risky..."

The monkey immediately objected loudly, "They may be waiting for our support, we absolutely can't leave now!"

Although's life isn't as valuable as Qiao Baoer's, they will never give up on their comrade easily.

Pei Haoran frowned, "Listen to me, I mean, we can let a part of the people leave first."

"...After all, people like me and Zhu Xiaowei would only hold everyone back. Since Raphael and the others have a way to transport things like lighters to this island, we can also find a way to come and go freely. We should go back with some of us first, as reinforcements, to figure out the safe routes in and out of this island..."

A few people were discussing quietly at the table, and the crabs and monkeys huddled together to analyze in hushed tones.

Pei Haoran makes a good point.

"At present, none of us can leave this archipelago," Jumonji said suddenly.Meng, you eat steamed grouper and conch chicken soup."He knew Song Mengmeng was on her period today and shouldn't eat spicy food, but he couldn't say it directly, lest his new girlfriend get jealous.Y...
