228: Landing on the nameless island

Yang Qi and Bai Xue went to eat breakfast together, then called the oil supplier and asked him to come and refuel the setting sail. Better safe than sorry.

Recently, he hadn't gone to the deep sea, but he had made several trips to the inshore, which consumed a lot of fuel.

As for the harvest, Bai Dahai had taken it for maintenance a few days ago, and it would take a few more days to get it ready.

When they returned home, they found no one there. He only found out after calling his mother.

The women of both families had gone to the The City to play with their grandparents.

Bai Dahai rented a boat, and all the men went out to sea to catch fish.

“Are we two abandoned?”

“Hahaha, isn't this a perfect world for just the two of us?”

Yang Qi hugged Bai Xue and spun her around a few times. With nothing else to do, they went to feed the fish in the fish tank.

“Husband, why don't we go out to sea too!”

Bai Xue said to Yang Qi.

“Let's go! Time to make some money.”

After calling his mother to inform her that he and Bai Xue were going out to sea, the two packed some change of clothes and headed towards the dock.

“Wait, I'll go buy some ice and bait. You go see what else we need to buy.”

Yang Qi said to Bai Xue.

“Okay, we still have mineral water and staple food. I'll go buy some vegetables, fruits, drinks, and snacks.”

Bai Xue said.

Half an hour later, the setting sail was sailing on the vast, boundless sea.

Yang Qi steered the fishing boat, occasionally observing for fish schools nearby, while enjoying Bai Xue feeding him.

This time, he intentionally deviated from his previous course, heading further south.

Along the way, he also fished several schools, none of which were very large, but overall, he caught over two hundred catties.

It was mainly Amberjack and various Groupers, with the most valuable being a six to seven-catty Sesame Grouper.

Three hours later,

“Husband, what do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you.”

Bai Xue, who had just caught a Grouper, looked at the time and saw it was already 12 o'clock, so she asked.

“It's too hot. Why don't we just make some fish soup? I'm not that hungry.”

Actually, what Yang Qi wanted to say was, “You've been feeding me so many snacks and fruits all the way, how can I be hungry?”

But he didn't dare to say it, afraid of getting pinched.

“Alright, then let's make Grouper soup! I'll go make it for you.”

Bai Xue scooped two three to four-catty Groupers from the live fish hold and went to cook.

Strangely enough, as soon as Bai Xue left, even the Groupers at the bottom of the sea were gone.

Yang Qi looked at some Balang Fish and mackerel in the middle and upper layers and decisively reeled in his line, no longer fishing.

As for catching them to use as bait, he had already caught ten or so earlier, so more would be useless.

Yang Qi came to the cockpit and continued to drive the setting sail forward. Bai Xue, after cooking the Grouper, came to chat with him.

About half an hour later, they both enjoyed the fresh and rich fish soup. Bai Xue even specially warmed three steamed buns for Yang Qi.

“Husband, is the fish soup delicious?”

“Delicious!”

“Are the steamed buns tasty?”

“Not as tasty as you!”

He was met with a big eye-roll.

“Xiao Xue, let's go to that small island and play? It's too hot in the middle of the day.”

Yang Qi pointed to a dark spot in the distance and said.

“Is that a small island? Is it possible that it's a passing cargo ship?”

“Oh! Husband is the best, you're never wrong. If you say it's a small island, it must be a small island.”

Bai Xue couldn't tell it was a small island and was subconsciously a bit suspicious, but she immediately corrected her attitude.

Yang Qi's vanity was immediately satisfied, and his lips curved into a smile by Bai Xue's words.

In fact, ever since he gained his special ability, all his five senses had been greatly enhanced, including his strength.

Bai Xue couldn't clearly see the small island ahead and to the side, but he could clearly see the trees on it.

“Look! If it were a ship, even from this far, it would move a little, wouldn't it? I've been watching it for a long time, and it hasn't moved an inch.”

Yang Qi spoke nonsense with a straight face.

“Hmm, you're right.”

Bai Xue couldn't help but observe.

“You pack up, we'll go explore the island and find a place to dive.”

“We haven't used the two proper diving suits I bought last time, have we?”

Yang Qi continued to tempt her.

“Ah! That's great, I want to dive. Didn't we buy snorkeling suits last time? Why did you buy professional diving suits again?”

Bai Xue was happy but also a little confused.

“Snorkeling suits are only for shallow waters. With diving suits, we'll have the chance to go to the deep sea and see what's there, right?”

Yang Qi said.

Half an hour later, the setting sail arrived near the small island.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that this island was actually quite large, at least four or five times bigger than Endless Island.

The island was covered in dense trees, looking vibrant and lush, with no signs of human habitation.

The entire island was full of cliffs or piles of rocks, with only a small beach on the southeast side.

However, the waters near the island were full of reefs, occasionally poking out of the sea. Below the surface, it was even more so.

After Yang Qi activated his Golden Finger and circled the island for inspection, he found that with the setting sail's size, there was no possibility of landing on the island.

Yang Qi secretly rejoiced:

“Isn't this just like Endless Island? The resources nearby must be extremely abundant, another place to get rich!”

“Husband, are we going up?” Bai Xue asked.

“Hmm, we'll first go ashore and take a look. We'll dive when we come back. No one comes here, so the resources must be rich.”

Yang Qi said.

“I'll find a place to moor the boat. You find the things we need to carry, and then we'll land and explore.”

“Okay, I'll go now.”

Bai Xue replied as she walked towards the utility room.

Yang Qi found a relatively flat spot, dropped anchor, and moored the boat.

Then he untied the rubber dinghy, attached the propeller, helped Bai Xue and the backpack down, and headed towards the island beach.

Yang Qi securely tied the rubber dinghy to a nearby reef. He put on his backpack, picked up Bai Xue, and went onto the beach.

This outdoor tactical backpack was something they had bought together before but never used. It contained some basic outdoor survival gear.

Yang Qi took out two engineer shovels, opened them, and gave one to Bai Xue.

“I just filled it with water, a whole flask.”

Bai Xue was like a primary school student who had done something good and wanted praise from her teacher.

“Good wife, smart and capable!”

Yang Qi praised her appropriately, maximizing her emotional value.

Ever since their relationship made substantial progress, Bai Xue often acted coquettishly in front of Yang Qi, especially when they were alone.

This pleased Yang Qi greatly, as it was a perfect opportunity to show off his boyfriend power.

Yang Qi put on his backpack, holding the assembled engineer shovel, and led the way.

The ground was overgrown with shrubs and weeds, and in the distance were mostly various trees like banyan, casuarina, beach naupaka, and palm trees.
