Chapter 370 - 369. Masha.
The girl standing at the edge of the shoreline looked thin, almost fragile. Her skin was pale, her build delicate, and she wore a simple dress made from coarse fabric, likely woven by hand. She had the appearance of a village maiden—someone who had grown up far away from bustling cities or grand sects. But there was something in her eyes, a playful glint, a mischievous spark that said she was anything but ordinary.
Tyler lay on his back, body aching and barely able to move. He had drifted to this island after being injured during the Abyss Breakout and had only now regained enough strength to open one eye. He blinked against the sunlight and saw the girl looming over him with her hands on her hips and a wide grin spreading across her face. She looked at him like he was a rare treasure that had washed ashore just for her.
"You’re alive. Good," she said cheerfully. "I prefer my husbands breathing."
Tyler’s eye twitched. "Wait... what?"
The girl tilted her head, still smiling. "You washed up on my island," she stated plainly, as though reciting an ancient law. "That makes you my property. And I’ve decided—I need a husband."
Tyler let out a long, defeated sigh and turned his gaze back to the sky. "Why me...?" he muttered under his breath, questioning the heavens for what felt like the thousandth time since this journey began.
Admittedly, the girl wasn’t bad-looking. She had a youthful charm, and her energy was infectious. But Tyler had absolutely no intention of getting married—especially not while he was half-dead and stranded on a mysterious island.
Still lying on the ground, he subtly activated his divine sense and activated the bead in his pocket.
In the next moment, a shimmer of light pulsed in the air, and a woman appeared beside him, her long silver hair fluttering like silk in the ocean breeze. Three elegant fox tails swayed behind her, catching the wind. Around her neck, a high-tech collar flickered faintly with light, a reminder of her peculiar circumstances.
It was Su Fei.
The island girl blinked, clearly surprised by the sudden appearance, but to her credit, she didn’t flinch or panic.
