"The elites of the temples are the cream of the crop, and it is an organization formed by the strong among Superhumans!"
"Gods are transcendent and omnipotent!"
"Even though the strong experts of the temple cannot reach the level of gods, they can be named after gods. From this, you can imagine how powerful those Superhumans are, to be qualified to enter the temple!"
Helen's gaze contained a trace of yearning and worship.
"Joining the elite class does not mean you are able to join the temple. Superhumans might still possess a glimmer of hope, but senior government officials, tycoons, and scientists have no hope. The temple is a place where only the best among the best can join!"
Xue Yue was stunned by what he heard. He felt like he was listening to a fairytale. "Helen, how powerful are the experts of the temple?"
Helen was surprised and she pushed her hair behind her ears as she softly said, "This… I'm not too sure myself, but I've only heard from other people. Every single one of them possesses overwhelming power that could destroy the world. It's also said that they have the right to talk to a super country on equal footing!"
"Woo—" Xue Yue could not help but gasp. The rights to talk to a super country on equal terms, this… Xue Yue could not imagine what kind of terrifying power those people possessed!
"The temple are the spiritual leaders of all Superhumans. Of course, they will also restrain those Superhumans!"
Helen glanced at Xue Yue and continued to speak, "Superhumans possess powerful strength and they can easily cause harm to ordinary people. To prevent them from destroying the lives of ordinary people, the temple has drawn up relevant laws and regulations. For example, prohibiting Superhumans from attacking ordinary people…"
Xue Yue came to a sudden realization. " No wonder Thomas would say those words before he died. So it turns out, there's this regulation!"
"Xue Yue, killing Thomas does cause a very troublesome problem!" Helen revealed a worried expression. The Aonas Family is a powerful family among the elites and they possess great influence. Not to mention they have ties with many powerful Superhumans…"
"Hearing what you have said, it seems like it is indeed troublesome!" Xue Yue held his chin and muttered. "However, regardless of how powerful they are, they can't possibly find out that I have killed Thomas, right?"
"That is hard to say!" Helen softly said, "There are many strange abilities among the Superhumans. I've heard of some special superpowers that can control one's thoughts and read memories!"
Xue Yue's expression changed and his heart sank. The ability to control thoughts and read minds?
Helen hastily comforted Xue Yue upon discovering his expression. "However, you don't have to be too worried. Even though the Aonas Family is strong, they shouldn't be able to find out the truth in such a short period. At the very least, Superhumans that can read memories are extremely rare and hard to find!"
Xue Yue sighed and said, "But this is still a trouble in the end!"
"It is indeed troublesome. The Aonas Family will not let you off for killing Thomas, unless you possess strong strength or have a strong background! You need to satisfy either of the two criteria for the Aonas Family to be deterred from coming for you!"
"Strength? Background?" Xue Yue bitterly smiled. It was only after arriving at this deserted island did he possess special abilities, and his strength should not be considered very strong. As for background… What kind of background could he possibly have?
"Xue Yue, don't be afraid. You saved me and I won't let the Aonas Family harm you!" Helen hastily said after seeing Xue Yue's expression.
"Haha, I'm not afraid. I only feel that it's troublesome." Xue Yue begrudgingly smiled. "I should have been a dead man and I consider it a gift from God for me to live until now. However, I will not let my hands be tied and sit and wait for death if the Aonas Family wishes to do me harm!"
With that thought, Xue Yue suddenly came to a realization. That's right, what's there to be afraid of? He managed to stay alive even after an airplane explosion. In addition, he did not die after falling from tens of thousands of feet in the sky. Even the gods could not kill him, so why would he be afraid of a single Aonas Family?
A trace of extraordinary splendour flashed past Helen's eyes and she nodded and said, "That's right! In fact, you don't have to be too worried. You've awakened now and have become an elite. As long as you can possess strength that will deter the Aonas Family in a short period of time, they will never become enemies with you for a single member!"
"We'll talk about it in the future!" Xue Yue smiled and no longer thought about this matter which gave him a headache.
The sun, which had risen high up in the sky, hung up there like a flaming fireball in the east direction. The deserted island became hotter and after they finished their breakfast, Xue Yue continued to busy himself with yesterday's work, such as repairing the chicken coop and uh… bird coop.
The revenge from the Aonas Family was something that would happen in the future and he still had to live out his days.
He fiddled around with the wooden sticks by burying them in the ground one by one. After he arranged them neatly in a row, he strung them together with withies. Xue Yue's hands became increasingly dexterous from living on the deserted island these past few days and arranging these wooden sticks was considering going smoothly and easily.
Helen was curled up by the fire while pondering over something. However, when she saw Xue Yue acting as if nothing happened earlier and was filled with energy as he busied around on a scorching hot day, she was also infected by his attitude. Her mood turned for the better and she limped towards Xue Yue.
After Xue Yue used up the wooden sticks in his hands and was just about to retrieve more, Helen passed over a stick. He was momentarily stunned and could not help but look at Helen's face in doubt.
The mixed-race beauty smiled and a sweet smile bloomed on her face as she said, "We'll be living together in the future and I can't possibly eat without working. Come on, let me help you!"
"There's no need, your leg is still injured and it's better to have a good rest. I can handle it alone!" Xue Yue touched his nose and laughed.
"It's fine, it's just a small injury!"
As the saying goes, when men and women are paired together, they will not feel tired while working. Even though Xue Yue did not have any thoughts towards Helen, he still felt his whole body becoming light and worked more enthusiastically with a gorgeous beauty helping by his side.
"Xue Yue, which part of China are you from?"
"Dalian!"
"Oh, so you're someone that lives near the seaside… How old are you? Are you still a student?"
"I'm still a student. I just took the college entrance examination this year. Haha, I was even admitted to Huaqing University!"
"Wow, you're very smart then. Huaqing University is the best university in China. Oh, I'm from Stanford University!"
"Haha, you're also very smart…"
The both of them forgot all their troubles, forgot that they were on a deserted island and forgot their previous unhappiness as they worked around while laughing and chatting. It was undeniable that having someone to talk to was much better than being alone.
Chatting was the best way to close the distance between people. Even though Helen and Xue Yue had not known each other for a long time, their relationship had become closer after a morning passed.
The sun was rising higher and higher, while the island got hotter and hotter. After working through an entire morning, Xue Yue was drenched in sweat. Helen's pretty face was also reddish while strands of hair clung to her forehead. Her whole body excluded a refreshing fragrance.
"Hoo! We're finally done!"
After finishing the final touches, the bird coop was completed. Xue Yue wiped the sweat on his forehead and sat on the ground with a plop. In fact, his body was not too exhausted, but he was slightly fidgety and tired after continuously doing the same thing for two to three hours.
"Xue Yue, shall we go swim by the sea?" Helen looked towards the sea and traces of desire appeared on her pretty face. What could be more wonderful than swimming after working hard all morning?
"Swimming? Can't you swim in the pool?"
"The pool is a little cold…"
"That's true!" Xue Yue blanked out for a moment before he came to an understanding. The pool was located under the waterfall and in the shade. Therefore, it was indeed somewhat cool. It did not matter to him, but Helen was a girl…
"Alright, let's go to the sea and we can get some seafood in passing to improve our meals!" Xue Yue naturally would not refuse if Helen wanted to go swimming by the sea. He patted his butt and stood up.
"En!" Helen softly responded, but soon after, she awkwardly said, "Xue Yue, my leg is… Can you carry me?"
"Carry you?"
Xue Yue was stunned, such a good task fell onto him? His gaze involuntarily shifted to Helen's voluminous figure…
"Why? You can't do that?" When she saw Xue Yue staying silent, she could not help but draw a long face.
"This… it's not impossible, but… I'm a man and you're a woman…" Xue Yue blushed and scratched the back of his head while crying out internally. As expected of an American, she's too open minded!
"Giggle~" Helen was surprised at the beginning, but started giggling with her lips pursed soon after. Her smile was like a lovely scene of blossoming plants swaying in the breeze and her chest and abdomen moved up and down, outlining a beautiful arc.
"If my classmates knew that you turned down a request from a beautiful lady, I reckon you would be beaten to death by them!" Helen chuckled. A guy like Xue Yue that was shy and bashful like a boy next door made her feel an unprecedented feeling.
Which guy in the United States wasn't trying to think of showing off before the girls? They were arrogant and presumptuous. A man like Xue Yue was simply a rare treasure.
"Even I'm not afraid, so what are you scared of? Come on, carry me!" Helen smiled and stretched out her arms.
"A-alright then!" Xue Yue scratched his head and turned to Goldie lying on his shoulders. "Goldie, move to my head first for the time being!"
Goldie opened its eyes and disgruntledly stared at Xue Yue before continuing its repose. It did not even give a damn.
Sh*t. You're not giving me face?
Xue Yue cursed deep down and looked at Helen in embarrassment. "This… I'm afraid I can't carry you on my back. Goldie…"
"It's… it's fine!"
Helen sized up Goldie and revealed a curious look. She had never seen a creature like Goldie and it seemed to be very spiritual.
"How about this, why don't you carry me in your arms?" Helen stared at Goldie for a long time before she asked for another 'rude' request.
"C-carry you in my arms??!I" Xue Yue widened his eyes.
"Why? You can't do it?" Helen pouted and was somewhat angry. A lady had raised such a request herself, but an adult man was hesitating so much. This… this was simply outrageous!
"Alright…"
"Come here then!"
Helen was tall and had a curvy figure. She was wearing a T-shirt with a u-shaped neckline and a pair of cowboy jeans at the bottom. Xue Yue picked her up by her waist, with one hand supporting her soft waist and the other touching her slender, long legs. The sensation of a soft and warm body transmitted from his hands and a refreshing fragrance floated into his nostrils.
Xue Yue's face turned unnaturally red.
