Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

Chapter 150, Teasing

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuang instinctively tightened her furry paws, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, and turned to look in Lin Yue's direction.

Lin Yue quickly weighed the pros and cons and nodded. She and Bai Shuangxuanye still had a trump card to save their lives, but Xiao Bing from the Shadow Thief Clan might not have one. Even if he had the intention to steal, he shouldn't be as daring as any thief.

Seeing this, Bai Shuang withdrew her claws. The black shadow, as if granted a pardon, sprang to its feet and moved with ghostly speed, rushing straight towards the edge of the dark clouds.

Lin Yue and the others followed closely behind it, and saw the dark figure frantically fiddling with something at the edge of the dark cloud, its hands waving rapidly in the air, occasionally clapping hard. As it moved, the flickering frequency of the dark cloud gradually decreased, and then the entire cloud began to rise from the ground, shooting into the sky like a rocket.

In just a few minutes, an enormous floating island appeared before everyone's eyes like a mirage. The island was lush and green, and several strange buildings could be vaguely seen on it.

Once the dark clouds had settled firmly on the floating island, the shadowy figure finally let out a long sigh of relief, its chest, which had been heaving from heavy breathing, gradually calming down. Xiao Bing turned to look at the group, exaggeratedly patting his chest, his tone still tinged with the relief of surviving a close call: "Thank goodness! I almost really became a dead Bing, going to meet the King of Hell!"

After saying that, he chuckled, grinned, revealing two rows of large teeth, and bowed to Lin Yue and the others, a smug look flashing across his face: "Hehe, my lords, let's just consider this a misunderstanding. We'll never meet again!"

Lin Yue sensed something was wrong and was about to grab him when the dark figure suddenly lowered, as if instantly turning into a pool of black liquid. Immediately afterward, a hole the size of a ping-pong ball appeared out of nowhere in the ground beneath his feet, and the dark figure, like ink dissolving in water, "whoosh," disappeared into it without a trace.

After a moment of astonishment, Lin Yue looked at Xuan Ye and asked, "Xuan Ye, didn't you say you had contact with the Shadow Thief Clan before? How much do you know about this floating island? How are we supposed to find them now?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Ye's gaze drifted imperceptibly for a moment before returning to normal, his voice remaining calm and composed: "I have been in contact with you, didn't you just make contact with me?"

"!" I never expected you to be like this, Xuan Ye. So all those confident promises you made before were just empty talk?

Lin Yue was speechless and secretly rolled her eyes, but when she looked back at the rather large floating island in the air, her mood improved again.

If she can't find it, she can't find it. All she's lost is a chicken and a piece of snake meat. Besides, after this battle, she probably won't come back. This floating island looks very resource-rich. She can harvest a lot and break even, and maybe even make a fortune.

Lin Yue was so open-minded, so Bai Shuang and Xuan Ye were even less concerned. The two of them, one human and one demon, walked along the winding dirt road. Before long, Lin Yue's eyes lit up.

Beside the roadside, a lush fruit tree came into view, its branches laden with heavy, bright red plums that shimmered in the sunlight. Lin Yue recognized it immediately—it was the second fruit she had searched high and low for—plums!

Finally, some new fruit has arrived!

However, the Shadow Thief Clan is really dishonest. Lin Yue really thought that they were so poor on their island that they couldn't find any food. Unexpectedly, such a big plum tree was just placed openly by the roadside. Just eating this fruit, they probably wouldn't starve to death.

Lin Yue quickly stepped forward, reached out and picked a plump, red fruit. After glancing at the system instructions, she wiped it with her hand and put it directly into her mouth.

After chewing it a couple of times, Lin Yue's face stiffened slightly. Then she reached out and picked another one, turned around and walked to Bai Shuang, stuffing it into its mouth: "Bai Shuang, you should try it too, it's so sweet."

Bai Shuang was a gluttonous little fellow, and upon hearing this, she didn't suspect a thing. She immediately opened her mouth wide and swallowed the fruit in one gulp. A moment later, her fluffy tail spun rapidly like a propeller, and she mumbled indistinctly, "Sister, pick one for Xuan Ye too, he loves sweets."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue looked in Xuan Ye's direction. What she saw made a difference; she noticed that after hearing Bai Shuang's words, Xuan Ye's entire black panther began to emanate an exceptionally gentle aura.

Tsk tsk tsk, well done, Bai Shuang.

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow slightly, and as instructed, reached out and picked another fruit, handing it to Xuan Ye.

Xuan Ye stuck out his tongue and deftly avoided Lin Yue's hand, instantly rolling the plum into his mouth. But the moment he took his first bite, Xuan Ye's usually calm and collected demeanor crumbled, and his entire black panther body trembled involuntarily!

What is this weird taste that's sour, bitter, and astringent?

Xuan Ye mentally complained. He always prided himself on being strong, but this sudden surge of emotion made his eyes redden and tears almost well up.

However, who was Xuan Ye? A fourth-tier leopard king who was obsessed with saving face, it glanced at the man and wolf in front of it who were eagerly waiting to see it make a fool of itself, swallowed the extremely sour plum, pit and all, with a "gulp".

Then, looking at the two dumbfounded people in front of him, he said in a calm tone, "Delicious!"

"Eh?"

Xuan Ye's behavior was so normal that Lin Yue and Bai Shuang couldn't help but be stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes full of doubt, and then they couldn't help but doubt themselves at the same time.

Why did they both get to eat sweet food? Could it be that I was just unlucky and happened to get a sour one?

Thinking of this, Bai Shuang blinked her big eyes and couldn't help but speak first: "Sister, give me another one!"

"Okay!" Lin Yue responded subconsciously, picked out the reddest and biggest plum, wiped it carefully, and handed it to Bai Shuang.

White Frost eagerly took a bite, but the excitement on its face instantly froze, replaced by a contorted expression. It spat out the fruit, wailing, "You stinky cat! You liar! Waaaaaah, sister, give me a piece of candy! Waaaaaah, it's so sour, it's going to break my teeth!"
