James looked around and found that it was a very shabby cottage.
The bed he slept on was dirty. James wanted to get up in disgust, but found that his body was covered with bruises of different degrees, which made him grit his teeth and twitch in pain.
Soon the door was opened and an old man with grey beard and hair came in.
"Young man, you're awake. Do you still feel pain? I'll go to the mountain to pick some herbs to heal your wound later." The old man said kindly.
The little girl next to him seemed to be only fifteen years old. She had two sharp canine teeth, two big dimples on her face, bright eyes and an innocent and cute smile.
She looked simple and innocent with two pigtails and a shabby floral dress.
"Where am I?" It never occurred to James that someone didn't know him. He was the Highness of this country, and everyone knew him.
He looked around and found that there was only one bed in the cottage, and there was no TV. No wonder. They didn't even watch TV. How could they know him?
"Young man, when I went up the mountain with my granddaughter, I saw you hanging on a branch with wounds all over your body. You were in a coma, so I brought you back. This is an unknown island, and there is usually no one here."
"Oh, how can I get out of here?"
"My little ship can't go out of this sea, but there will be a big ship passing by here in three days. You can go out by this ship."
"Three days?" James had no hope anymore. He might be able to get out of this damned place at ten o'clock in the evening with his special transformation.
"Yes, I think you are seriously injured. Why don't you rest here for a few more days?"
"That's right. Brother, let me take care of you."
The little girl's bright smile infected his heart. He nodded and agreed.
Enduring the harsh environment and the pain all over his body, James spent two days like this.
At ten o'clock in the evening, he found an excuse to go to the bathroom and escaped from the old man and the girl's sight.
The transformation had begun. He had successfully completed it, but he didn't dare to go back to see the old man and the girl.
It was useless to start the power on his body. The faint aura on his body was weak, and he used his spiritual sense to start the power all over his body.
"Damn!"
It never occurred to James that he would be so seriously injured that even his ability was affected. Then what else could he do?
"Brother, where are you?" Rita Xia and her grandpa found that James was missing, so they went out to look for him with flashlights.
The whole island was searched everywhere, but there was no sign of James.
"Young man, where have you gone? It's so late. You can't go out. Have you lost your way? "
The old and the young voices came from afar, but James didn't dare to make a sound. He would rather hide like this cowardly.
Perhaps they didn't understand the cherry blossom mark between his eyebrows, but his father and mother had told him that no one could see it casually.
Therefore, even if he had transformed, he could not go back without a mask.
"Brother, are you lost? I'm looking for you."
"Brother, I'm here. I will help you beat those monsters away."
"……"
He couldn't hear the rest clearly. Feeling sleepy, he slept in the night wind all night.
On the second day, he began to have a fever. With injuries and illness, he passed out for another day.
It was not until the third day that he woke up. The pain all over his body was alleviated a lot, and his fever was also gone.
"Brother, are you feeling better? Did you get lost yesterday? Why did you sleep there? " Rita approached the bed and asked worriedly, with a hint of worry and pleasure in her big round eyes.
"Yes. What's your name? " It was the first time that James was interested in knowing the name of a girl, because she was very innocent and kind-hearted, a little bit like Fio, and a little bit like the violent dragon.
Anyway, he had to pay her back for saving him.
"My name is Rita. Grandpa brought me up as a real and straightforward person." Rita introduced herself happily. She blushed in shyness. She had never seen such a handsome and charming boy.
She had been with her grandfather since she was a child and hadn't met too many people. This brother should be the second man she had met besides her grandfather.
She was so excited.
"Yes, Rita."
"Brother, what's your name? I don't know your name yet. " Rita stood at the head of the bed and asked expectantly.
"You can just call me brother Jim."
"Okay, brother Jim. That sounds great. " The little girl said with satisfaction.
Suddenly, her grandfather, who was fishing outside, came back. He threw the fishing tools on the ground and broke in.
