Chapter 14 The Method to Become Stronger

  • With a harrumph, Rosalie said, “As long as you aren’t sleeping with Naomi. It’s nauseating to see them being lovey-dovey.” Naomi hung her head low in silence as she dared not say a word. After that, Rosalie proceeded to bark more orders, “Close the door so that John won’t be able to come in.”
  • “He seems to be busy with something. Earlier, I saw him running around covered in mud,” said Naomi.
  • There was disdain in Rosalie’s tone of voice. “I don’t even want to know what that fatty is up to. I’m going to bed. I dared not eat too much despite my hunger, so I will fend it off by sleeping.”
  • After Naomi blocked the entrance, everybody got into bed, while I held Melody’s soft and supple body in my arms with a racing heart. I couldn’t wait to reach for her waist, whereas she allowed me to hold her. At that moment, Rosalie raised a question, “I wonder how long we will have to stay on this island. Will we really have to stay here forever?”
  • “Probably so.” Melody kissed me as she spoke.
  • Here she goes again... I thought. She was never shy about it whenever she kissed me, and would even speak to other people in the midst of doing so.
  • Rosalie heaved a sigh upon hearing what she said. “This isn’t how my life should be.”
  • “Just take things as they come.” Melody began kissing me passionately all of a sudden, while I could feel my Qi calming down somehow as she did. A phrase that I read from ‘The Path of Solar Fire’ sprung to mind, which spoke of the need to balance out my energies. My body began operating on its own to allow my Qi to traverse across my entire body according to the methods described in the scripture. Not only did it happen without me making a conscious effort, but it was also much faster than before.
  • Melody clenched her fists upon sensing my passion, but I was so engrossed in her kiss that helped me balance out my energies that I refused to leave her. Although she was young, she was experienced, as her kisses were passionate. We continued exchanging saliva while she chatted with Rosalie intermittently, during which Naomi remained silent.
  • After half an hour, Melody was beginning to feel exhausted as she whispered into my ear, “Why aren’t you stopping?”
  • While I wanted to reply to her, the flow of my Qi would be disrupted if I did as I was still in the midst of circulating my Qi through my body. Due to its sheer quantity, God knew what would happen if my Qi ran amok, so I kept my silence, opting instead to kiss her.
  • In response, she said in a feeble voice, “Hold on, I’ve kissed you long enough that my mouth’s all dry.”
  • I felt bad all of a sudden, as I could feel my progress slowing down. However, Melody was obviously worn out when she whispered into my ear, “I can give you a more passionate night if they aren’t around us, but they are... Let’s just sleep, you maniac. You even turned me on.” After having said so, she turned her back on me.
  • I knew she was in a weakened state, and that she didn’t realize I was training. With Melody’s help, I was able to cover seven days' worth of progress, but it only irked me, as I was hoping to progress further. I wanted to go past the first level as soon as possible. When I was distracted, Rosalie got up. “I need to go to the bathroom.”
  • Suddenly, her departure freed up some space beside me. When I was about to stop circulating my Qi, the space was taken by none other than my dear Naomi. She kissed me on my lips passionately, but she wasn’t as experienced as Melody, so everybody in the cave could hear us kissing as she couldn’t control her breathing.
  • In the dark, Melody let out a chuckle before speaking up languidly, “I hear nothing, so you can go on. But Naomi, I will have to remind you that Jonathan is quite demanding, so you might not have enough time to satisfy him.”
  • Naomi said in embarrassment, “Miss Ziegler, I didn’t mean to do anything out of line. I just couldn’t help but be attracted to Jonathan.”
  • “It’s normal to fall for someone, so you don’t have to hold yourself back.”
  • “But I’m scared whenever Rosalie is around. I’m afraid that she might scold me.”
  • “It’s alright since she’s not around now, so you can do as you please. Besides, Rosalie was just putting up a facade. Although she was harsh with her words today, she ate the least amount of food during the meal.”
  • “You’re right...” Naomi began kissing me again, which helped me pick up the speed of my training. Halfway through our kissing session, she asked, “Honey, why aren’t you talking at all?”
  • As I couldn’t talk, I could only initiate the kiss once more to show her that I needed it. I even began sucking on her tongue to express to her my desire to exchange saliva, which she didn’t seem to mind. In fact, she was even happy about it as she said while kissing me, “I love you, I miss you, and I also want you to hold me in your arms when we sleep. I’m sorry that I’m such a coward who dared not say a word while in front of Rosalie.”
  • All of a sudden, Rosalie was back, so Naomi quickly clambered back to her spot after biting on my lip. As soon as she climbed onto the makeshift grass bed, Rosalie mumbled cozily, “Okay, time to sleep... Jonathan, why are you facing me? I could feel your breath! Were you two kissing again?”
  • “Nope,” replied Naomi instinctively.
  • Upon hearing her reply, Rosalie ordered, “Hmph! It’s best if you didn’t! Jonathan, cover my stomach so that I don’t catch a cold.” I could only comply with her demand while she snapped at me, “I’m not wearing any clothes, so I will beat the crap out of you if you move your hand from that spot!”
  • Without a word, I closed my eyes while ignoring all of them to focus on my training. The skies were bright when I woke up. It was weird that I felt refreshed despite having not slept a wink as I spent all night training. Both Rosalie and Melody had left the cave, but Naomi was still staring at me while lying beside me. She gave me a kiss before praising me gently, “Honey, you look handsome when you’re asleep.”
  • It wasn’t after we spent some time kissing that we left the cave. As soon as we did, John ran toward us with much excitement while holding an object. “It’s done! We’ll be able to catch something for our meals!”
  • I looked at the wooden cage in his hands. No nails were used, as all John did was pare down some wood to assemble the cage. “You’re such a great craftsman!” I cried out in surprise.
  • “I used to be bullied a lot, and nobody wanted to play with me, so I always spent time doing crafts alone...” said John in embarrassment. “By the way, this is a trap for catching crabs.”
  • There was a tunnel that would lead the crab into the cage, with the inner end being narrower than the outer end, while the cage itself was concave in shape. John explained, “We can put some sausages in it as bait before casting it into the waters. We can also cut up my clothes to use as a rope to hold onto the cage. Then, all that’s left to do is wait for the crabs to take the bait. They will only be able to crawl into the cage for food, but they won’t be able to escape. This is just a prototype, but I will work on an improved version if it works!”
  • Rosalie let out a scoff before asking, “Will we really be able to catch crabs using this?”
  • “Why don’t we make a bet?” asked John in a soft voice. “Can I peel the crabs for you if we manage to catch any? T-That will be a dream come true!”
  • Sneering, Rosalie replied, “You have such a humble wish, you lowlife! Alright, let’s bet!”
