Chapter 0009

Li Xian laughed heartily at Zhou Fu's expression which seemed offended when he mentioned the matter of God's help.

“Alright, grandpa has been waiting for you constantly these two days. Honestly, I felt so much worry if something bad happened here and grandpa was alone without you. Who will defeat the enemy then?” said Li Xian just to make Zhou Fu feel that Zhou Fu’s presence is precious.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I've been here with grandpa. To be honest, the previous disaster seems would be nice whenever it comes again.”

Li Xian reflexively hit Zhou Fu’s head since the kid was making a joke for a dangerous disaster. In fact, an animal in weighing 1 tons would be able to be swept away easily and then sink to the bottom of the ocean if it was hit by such a vicious tsunami.

"Watch out your mouth, brat!"

***

Sudden and repetitive tsunami was not the only terrible disaster in Youhi island. This Island also had several active volcanoes. Occasionally, the island was flooded by full of water, at other times; the island was also submerged by hot lava. However, Li Xian and Zhou Fu still feel comfortable living on the island because Youhi is the best place to hide.

Time flies. It was almost 3000 days since Li Xian and Zhou Fu had been landed in Youhi Island. That means, little Zhou Fu already became a teenager. He was 14 years old at that time. Zhou Fu's little body underwent many changes. He transformed into a young boy who was tall, slender and quite handsome. Unfortunately, Zhou Fu's handsome look seemed to be unseen because the clothes he was wearing were quite weird to look at.

When Zhou Fu lived in Konglong Island, he used to wear proper clothes made by Li Xian through utilizing the fur of wild animals. But when they lived on Youhi Island, there wasn't a single beast that could be caught for its skin. Finally, Zhou Fu was dressed from any plants that could be used as the cover of his body.

At the age of 14, Zhou Fu grew up become smart and strong swordsman. Even though Li Xian was pretty sure that Zhou Fu could venture the wild life out of the Youhi island, he still had to teach Zhou Fu some skills. Unfortunately, some skills can only be learned whenever a kid grows at the age of 17 years old. The problem was, Li Xian's health was deteriorating and he couldn't make sure if he would survive within three years to come. To anticipate any bad things that could happened whenever he died before Zhou Fu reached his seventeen, Li Xian wrote many notes related to any skills that should be practiced by Zhou Fu. However, until he was 14 years old, Zhou Fu was still illiterate. He still couldn't understand the shape and arrangement of the letters.

In the end, Li Xian gave up teaching Zhou Fu literacy. It was the wisest decision because if Li Xian continued teaching reading and writing to Zhou Fu, Youhi Island would be in chaos due to the battle of the two humans, Li Xian who was furious at his grandson and Zhou Fu who tried to avoid and sometimes attacked his grandfather.

During his several years living on the island of Youhi, Zhou Fu was often tasked with hunting animals to a nearby island using a makeshift raft. Li Xian told Zhou Fu to build his own raft in the hope that Zhou Fu would understand how to make a safe and comfortable means of sea transportation.

In the beginning, Zhou Fu often went hunting using a raft but returned by swimming because his boat was damaged in the middle of the sea. Once time, Zhou Fu also came home from hunting by swimming, but not because his boat was damaged but because his boat was full of the animals so he dragged the boat while swimming.

***

On that day, Zhou Fu's raft landed on a small island that he had never been on before. He hopes to meet new things on the island, whether it's something called the threat of danger or other things that he thinks are new enough to know.

Suddenly, there was a scream from within the small island. And the sound was strange enough to make Zhou Fu interested in coming to the sound immediately.

“Ah, that must be the sound of an animal I've never seen before! It sounds weird and I've never heard it before!”

Zhou Fu ran towards the source of the sound. He couldn't wait to see what the strange sounding beast looked like, “I hope this creature is dangerous enough that I can play around a bit,” Zhou Fu muttered as he continued to run.

Finally, Zhou Fu managed to arrive at the source of the sound. The screams stopped when Zhou Fu stood frozen not too far away.

“Anyone, help me…. Please, expel this pig from my feet!”

Zhou Fu's eyes widened, he found a human! But the human was strange, not like his grandfather, not like him, not like the warrior he killed many years ago. Zhou Fu had a hard time finding where the strange human was, he clearly felt that the human was different and quite different.

"What are you doing? Do something! Are you foolish?! Help me!!!"

Zhou Fu scratched his head, as he recalled, the word ‘help’ was only used when someone was in a state of urgency or was in a very dangerous situation. However, the human in front of him was screaming for help while a cute little pig clung to her feet. It seemed that the pig wanted to be pampered but the human instead trembled like fear.

"Are you deaf? Please help me get rid of this beast!"

Feeling his ears irritated, Zhou Fu kicked the little beast with his left foot. The animal also seemed to immediately lose its life.

"You're so mean… He's still a baby!" The person who was helped by Zhou Fu was now showing an annoyed and angry expression to Zhou Fu. Of course, it made Zhou Fu even more confused, how come, that human get angry while Zhou Fu helped her as she ask for help.

However, there was something else that confusing him even more. He froze for a moment, thinking about all the possibilities. Unable to find an answer to his bewilderment, Zhou Fu touched the human in front of him right where he was confused. Zhou Fu asked, “Is it swollen from the pain? Why are both of them swollen?”

Zhou Fu touched one part of the chest of the woman in front of him while wondering how someone's body could be swollen at the same size as the swelling.

PLAAAAKKKKKK!!!!

The woman slapped Zhou Fu with all her might, and she screamed even louder than before. Zhou Fu groaned in pain, he asked why that human hit him. While he asked for an explanation, Zhou Fu got a second slap. The woman became angry and spat out a few words that Zhou Fu didn't know the meaning of.

Yes, in fact Li Xian did seem to forgot to give Zhou Fu knowledge about creatures called women. It was Zhou Fu's first time meeting a woman and of course it was only natural for him to be confused by some of the female body parts which were quite different from his own.

"Why are you here? What did I do wrong? Usually my grandfather would only get angry if I made a mistake,” Zhou Fu asked in surprise. For his own believe, he didn’t make any mistake at all.

Instead of an answer, once again it turned out that Zhou Fu received a slap. However, he didn't intend to retaliate, his conscience told him that the person was not dangerous because the slap was just a little bit painful. Apparently, it was the woman who repeatedly groaned in pain after she slapped Zhou Fu.

“If you are a good person, help me and take me back to Caihong!” the woman again said something that Zhou Fu did not quite understand.
