Chapter 58: Oh No, It’s the Feeling of My Heart Fluttering! This Despicable Pretty Boy Ploy p1
After Zhou Siyan finished seeing Xue Xiaohai, Xue Yu once again explained her plan to him in detail.
Zhou Siyan neither objected nor agreed.
He just said, “Feng Qizhou and I can also help you with a portion of the salary money. But what I want to know is, after the island is built, what do you plan to do with those workers? That’s a problem.”
Xue Yu didn’t think much of it. “Let them stay and be islanders! That island is very big, and the resources are abundant.”
“I can do business with other safe zones and have those workers continue to work for me, turning the island into a new safe zone.”
Zhou Siyan held her two constantly gesturing hands and rubbed her palm.
“To establish a safe zone, you need a powerful spirit body. The people here have a psychological dependence on the White Tower, largely due to the influence of the White Tower’s leader—Ms. Bai Long’s spiritual power.”
“If you want those workers to not return to the White Tower and willingly stay on the island with you, you need to have a spiritual power that is absolutely strong enough to suppress everything.”
“Otherwise, after those workers have built the island and think their work is done, they will still find a way to return to the White Tower. And the White Tower no longer has any extra positions to offer them, so what awaits them is only death.”
Listening to Zhou Siyan’s series of words, Xue Yu asked, “What is Ms. Bai Long’s spirit body?”
Zhou Siyan: “No one has ever seen her spirit body. I only know that her spiritual power is very strong, so strong that it’s not in the same dimension as ours.”
“I think my Blueberry’s spiritual power is also quite strong.”
Xue Yu touched her earlobe in embarrassment. “I’m talking about the reproductive aspect. It can cause phantom pregnancies at the drop of a hat, and it can even make frogmen mate in groups. If Blueberry and I work together, we should have a chance to support a safe zone, right?”
“Right, Blueberry?” Xue Yu looked around but couldn’t find Blueberry.
“Blueberry, come out!”
Blueberry had, at some point, secretly come out to play with Zhou Siyan’s black panther and Feng Qizhou’s arctic fox.
The three of them were hiding behind the sofa, being intimate, completely ignoring their masters.
Xue Yu went over and scooped it up. “Did you hear what I said?”
Blueberry proudly flew a circle around Xue Yu: I heard you! We are the best! My master will definitely be able to establish her own safe zone!
Xue Yu held Blueberry and looked at Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou. “Blueberry thinks I can do it, so I think I can do it too.”
Although the road was long and difficult, and the men were not there to support her ambition, Xue Yu still really wanted to establish her own safe zone. She loved that island too much. At the same time, she was tired of the White Tower. She had no sense of belonging to the White Tower at all.
“Alright, then you can try. I will do my best to help you,” Zhou Siyan said.
After the discussion, the room fell silent.
Blueberry, Heimei, and Cake were openly playing on the carpet in the living room. The three of them were intertwined, and the black panther and the arctic fox were constantly licking the scales on Blueberry’s body.
The atmosphere was very awkward.
“Do you know what they are doing?” Feng Qizhou sat next to Xue Yu, his hand naturally resting on her leg.
Xue Yu gave a wry smile. “They should be performing some kind of art for us.”
Feng Qizhou raised an eyebrow, his lips as moist as petals, and a smile appeared on his lips. “When we were still at the military academy, I wanted to join you and Zhou Siyan like this. It’s a pity that the one surnamed Zhou didn’t appreciate it.”
Xue Yu remembered the time when Feng Qizhou had requested a threesome, but Zhou Siyan had arranged a dinner and had given him a long-winded rejection at the dinner table.
The three spirit bodies were still playing, but Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou had no intention of recalling their own spirit bodies. They just quietly watched the three of them.
Xue Yu felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her palms sweating. She could even feel the impact of the spiritual intercourse on her senses.
In contrast, Zhou Siyan and Feng Qizhou were calm and composed. She didn’t know if they were looking down on it or enjoying it.
Xue Yu couldn’t take it anymore. She went over and picked up Blueberry, forcibly retracting it into her spiritual landscape.
A flicker appeared in both Zhou Siyan’s and Feng Qizhou’s eyes, and the veins on their foreheads bulged slightly. They both took a barely perceptible deep breath, as if they were trying to adjust some kind of emotion.
Feng Qizhou swallowed, stood up, went to the fridge to get three glasses of ice water, and brought them over to share with Xue Yu and Zhou Siyan.
A smile hung at the corner of his eye. He held his own glass of ice water, slowly clinked glasses with Xue Yu and Zhou Siyan, and drank the ice water in one gulp before saying, “I’m still not satisfied.”
He squinted at Zhou Siyan arrogantly. “Director Zhou, don’t be so narrow-minded in the future. Even Heimei can accept Cake’s addition. You shouldn’t be so intolerant in the future.”
Zhou Siyan picked up the ice water and also drank it in one gulp.
Sometimes, he still felt unwilling. The reason for his unwillingness was not Feng Qizhou’s repeated provocations, but Xue Yu’s attitude.
He really didn’t want to use the word “good-for-nothing” to describe Xue Yu, but every time he was ridiculed by Feng Qizhou like this, Xue Yu would just sit there silently, pretending to play with her nails. He really thought that Xue Yu was useless.
The third party is so brazen, even hitting the original partner in the face.
And Xue Yu, the main character, is still like a soft bun, neither scolding Feng Qizhou, the third party, nor standing up to defend him, the original partner. She just plays dead.
“Say something,” Zhou Siyan pulled away Xue Yu’s hand, which had been picking at her nails.
Xue Yu had no choice but to look up. “Harmony in the family brings prosperity. Yes, that’s it. Harmony in the family brings prosperity.”
Feng Qizhou became even more smug.
Zhou Siyan silently returned to the side bedroom, picked up the sleeping Xue Xiaohai, and placed her in the safe with a soft cushion.
When he came out, his posture was straight. He said nothing and left.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Xue Yu deliberately waited for a while before getting up to say goodbye to Feng Qizhou. “I’m leaving too. I’ll find another chance to see the child tomorrow.”
“Go to the clinic tomorrow. I’ll bring Xiaobei and Xiaonan there too.”
Xue Yu: “Okay.”
Xue Yu returned to her dorm and had a good rest. The next day, she went to the hospital.
Under Feng Qizhou’s guidance, she went to the intensive care unit to see Youke’en. Youke’en was awake but still couldn’t get out of bed. There was a bandage on the center of his forehead.
According to Feng Qizhou, when Youke’en had committed suicide, he had shot himself directly in the forehead.
“Can you still talk, Youke’en?” Xue Yu asked in a low voice.
Tears kept falling from Youke’en’s eyes. His voice was very weak, and he raised a pale hand.
Xue Yu held his hand and pressed it against her face. “Youke’en, why are you so silly? No matter what, you can’t commit suicide.”
“Daughter, don’t blame Daddy, okay?” he said, his pale and handsome face looking very out of place.
Xue Yu had been very shocked by Youke’en’s loyalty. When she heard this, the emotion that filled her heart instantly collapsed. “You’re so weak, and you’re still being crazy.”
Youke’en coughed twice and showed a smile. “I’m just teasing you.”
“You should rest well and get better soon.”
Xue Yu wanted Youke’en to recover quickly so she could ask him about some things.
Youke’en’s adoptive mother was Ms. Bai Long’s wife, and his adoptive father was Ms. Bai Long’s husband. Youke’en must know something about Ms. Bai Long.
Xue Yu wanted to know how Ms. Bai Long’s spiritual power affected everyone and made them so dependent on the White Tower.
After figuring this out, she could start to build her own safe zone.

While Yan Wantang was letting her adjust her mental state, Xue Yu was thinking about building an island step by step.
She slipped out of the White Tower, went to the moat, and swam along it for a while.
The moat had several branches. She determined which branch could lead to the sea area where the deserted island was located.
She also had to record the flow rate of each section of the river in detail, where there were undercurrents, where there were whirlpools, and other problems.
She swam in the water for five consecutive days.
Although she reported her safety to Zhou Siyan and the others in the group chat every night, she hadn’t come to see the children for a long time, which made the few men a little worried.
Feng Qizhou sent a message in the group chat: @Xue Yu, did you go out to cheat and find a new lover? The child has been crying. You didn’t even come to see her.
Xue Yu replied when she had time: I’m in the water.
Feng Qizhou: Are you playing with Mo Li? Is it fun to play with a pregnant man?
Xue Yu: I’m not playing. I told you I’m surveying the waterway. I don’t even know where Mo Li is.
Zhou Siyan: Haven’t you finished surveying yet?
Xue Yu: Almost, almost.
On the sixth day, Xue Yu finally returned.
She had calculated a pile of data on a piece of paper. At the same time, she had also discovered a channel to exploit the White Tower.
The metal production of the White Tower was very large. In the past, they were self-sufficient and used these metals for infrastructure.
The roads and buildings of the White Tower were not made of reinforced concrete, but were directly paved with metal.
Now, the internal metal production of the White Tower was in surplus, and they would sell a portion to other safe zones, including business dealings with the South Continent.
The metal trade with the South Continent was done by ship.
The ships would leave the moat and go all the way to the old port on the coastline of the South Continent.
And the cargo ships that usually transported metal to the South Continent only needed one captain and five robot dogs.
Xue Yu had an idea.
Mercenaries could have part-time jobs.
If she became a ship captain, she could hide the workers she had saved in the ship while she was on a run and drop them off at the island on the way.
This would indeed be much more convenient.
The people of the White Tower did not like water and liked to stay inland.
In addition, the White Tower rejected water-type spirit bodies. So the position of captain was not a good job for everyone, and many people were unwilling to do it.
Xue Yu inquired further about the conditions for becoming a captain.
There was basically no assessment for physical fitness or education. As long as you had awakened a spirit body, you could apply to be a captain.
However, there was a strict condition. If she wanted to hold two positions, both a mercenary and a captain, she had to join the extreme sexual conservatives.
For the great cause of building an island, Xue Yu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, determined to join the extreme sexual conservatives!
