******************************

Mengmeng suddenly jumped up, it was because Li Shuning had returned.

But at this moment, Li Shuning was quite disheveled.

She was dragging a rather withered-looking tree trunk, her hands also full of large leaves.

Mengmeng quickly ran over, wanting to take the leaves from Li Shuning’s hands, but Li Shuning smiled and said, "Mengmeng, no need, mommy will do it, you go ahead and rest. The sun is still very strong, don’t get sunburned."

Mengmeng was very obedient to her mother’s words and returned to the side of the giant rock, where a large shaded area had formed.

Without incorporating the cultivation of the Qi Refinement Realm, walking such a long distance had exhausted Li Shuning.

Li Shuning went out again, this time bringing back a small tree, and in her hand, she carried an axe.

Mengmeng didn’t question where the axe came from. After all, being young, seeing mommy bring back a small tree, having an axe seemed quite normal.

She simply thought that mommy had picked it up.

Then Li Shuning began chopping the tree with the axe.

Utilizing spiritual power, her swinging the axe was just for show.

With the help of spiritual power, the wood was split one by one into planks.

Afterward, Li Shuning used the planks to build up, blocking the gaps in the giant rock, then covered them with those large leaves.

The planks were limited, the leaves were limited, so it could only be done this way for now.

Then, Li Shuning also split the withered tree trunk, preparing to use it as firewood later.

On such a deserted island, who knew if it would get cold at night.

Time passed quickly, and as Li Shuning watched the sun setting, she said to Mengmeng, "Mengmeng, let’s go, mommy is going to catch some fish for us to eat, let’s go to the seaside."

"Oh oh, mommy is going to catch fish, I want to eat fish."

Li Shuning laughed, the world of children is really simple. Even when stranded on a deserted island, in her heart, as long as mommy was by her side, she probably wasn’t that scared, right?

Li Shuning took Mengmeng to the coastline, letting Mengmeng stay in a safe place, while she herself took off her shoes and rolled up her pants, walking barefoot into the sea.

She didn’t walk too far; the water reached her calf. Spiritual power surged, guiding a school of fish over. Then she reached down and with one grab, caught those fish still dazed, and flung them over beside Mengmeng.

Mengmeng watched with wide eyes, then started clapping, "Mommy is amazing, just amazing."

Li Shuning smiled and caught a few more fish during this time, and Mengmeng even screamed in excitement at how great it was.

Then, Li Shuning cleaned the fish by the sea, took dry wood from the side of the giant rock.

Li Shuning lit a fire and started grilling the fish.

Li Shuning’s cooking skills were quite good, plus she secretly took some seasoning out of the Qiankun Ring and put it on the fish, which made them very fragrant when grilled.

Grilled fish with milk, the mother and daughter’s dinner was very enjoyable.

Mengmeng alone ate two fish, and they weren’t small.

The place enclosed by the giant rock was not small, but a big opening was still left in the front. After dinner, Li Shuning let Mengmeng sit on a clean rock to cool down while she stacked stones in the opening.

This island was full of stones, and after a few trips, Li Shuning had built a pile over a meter high. The stones below were quite large, while those on top were slightly smaller.

Then Li Shuning used the prepared planks to block the stones from behind, shaping them like a door.

Li Shuning also took dry planks, laid them next to the giant rock, aligned with the opening, and laid some leaves on top, followed by a blanket.

"Mengmeng, since we’re stranded on this island, we’ll have to make do like this for now. When the sun comes up tomorrow, mommy will go look around the island for anything useful."

"Mommy, you’re working so hard, aren’t you tired? Let me massage your back, okay?"

Li Shuning looked at Mengmeng in surprise, this little girl was really so well-behaved it made one’s heart ache.

How could those people be so heartless, even to such a child...

"Mengmeng, mommy’s not tired, with you by mommy’s side, mommy isn’t tired at all."

"Mommy, is it because grandma and grandpa don’t want us, so they threw us into the sea?"

"Yes, Mengmeng, greed is the original sin. They abandoned us at sea with a purpose. Those who were closest to us revealed their fangs. If we’re lucky enough to be rescued, we must learn to discern who truly cares for us and who is insincere."

Li Shuning said these words, knowing as a child, Mengmeng might not understand, but she felt she needed to say it, as laying a foundation was necessary.

The mother and daughter talked for a while longer, then after a bit of personal hygiene, Mengmeng fell asleep not long after returning.

Li Shuning, however, did not sleep. It was getting cooler, so she turned over the blanket she was lying on, covering it over Mengmeng.

She herself sat cross-legged, beginning to merge her cultivation.

After all, having strength makes surviving on a deserted island easier.

In between, she still checked on Mengmeng, who was sleeping deeply; with the blanket, she was quite warm.

The next morning, Li Shuning had completed her fusion, though she worked up a sweat, and after checking on Mengmeng, she went to the hovercar to take a shower.

Afterward, she prepared some beef and such on the hovercar, then returned to the deserted island.

"Mengmeng, wake up, it’s time for breakfast."

Mengmeng rubbed her eyes, went to clean her teeth and face, and then saw the meat.

"Mommy, where did the meat come from?"

"Ah, mommy saw you sleeping soundly, so I took a walk around the island, saw some small animals, and caught them. Come eat, eating meat gives you energy, mommy has a lot to do today and needs Mengmeng’s help, okay?"

Mengmeng’s eyes lit up, "Okay, I’ll eat now. I’ve grown up; I can help mommy too."

Then Li Shuning took Mengmeng toward the center of the island, according to the story plot, it should rain tomorrow.

Although living by the giant rock was nice, rain would cause trouble, since the rock wasn’t a single block and there were cracks.

Li Shuning originally didn’t want to bring Mengmeng, but Mengmeng might feel lonely or scared staying behind alone, so she decided to take her along to help, also as a way to experience outdoor life.

That day, Li Shuning cut down quite a few trees.

And Mengmeng helped gather a lot of leaves until she was tired and sat to rest by the giant rock.

Li Shuning, having fused her cultivation, had extraordinary strength, cutting down trees was no problem.

Later she also dragged the rubber dinghy ashore, pulling it to the side of the giant rock.

Mengmeng watched Li Shuning with admiration all the way.

In her heart, her mommy was invincible.
