Chapter 7

Freya was wearing a tight, white lace top which accentuated her curves. She flung the lace top to the ground. Now, she was left with only one piece of clothing, which barely covered her chest. She was trembling uncontrollably. "W-what are you doing?" Ryan was bewildered. He stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before him and forgot to react for a moment. Freya swiftly took off her upper clothing. Her figure was not as curvaceous as Nina's, but Freya was fuller and more voluptuous. She had just the perfect figure. Moreover, her skin looked incredibly tender and smooth. She looked like a ripe peach. Freya was looking at Ryan with sparkling eyes. Just as she was about to remove her undergarments, Ryan finally snapped out of his daze. He quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and tossed them to her. "What are you trying to do? Speak up! If you don't speak, I'll leave!" he said in a low voice. Freya wrapped the clothes around her chest and ran up to Ryan. With a thud, she knelt before him. She cried tearfully, her voice trembling as she said, "Can I sleep with you?" Ryan's gaze fell on Freya's left hand, and he narrowed his eyes. "You're wearing a wedding ring on your left ring finger. You must have a husband, right? Yet you want to sleep with me? "Get lost. I despise women like you who cheat. You're no different from Yasmine." Disgusted, he pushed Freya away and walked ahead. Unexpectedly, Freya caught up after a few steps. Once again, she knelt before Ryan. This time, she spoke the truth. Freya cried even harder. She sobbed as she said, "I don't want to cheat. I... I just want to ask you to take me in. Nina said that after she slept with you, you were willing to give her food and protect her. "I... I'm willing to sleep with you, too. Just please take me in until the rescue team arrives. I don't want to die here. I have a husband and a son. I want to go back to see them. I don't want to die here like this." Upon hearing this, Ryan slowed down. His expression softened. "I don't want to take you in, and I won't sleep with you. You can survive with those women." With that, Ryan continued walking forward without bothering to wait for Freya's reaction. He didn't have time to persuade Freya. The sun was already setting, and the most urgent thing now was to find fresh water. But Freya didn't give up. Just as Ryan entered the woods, Freya caught up again. This time, she grew bolder. She directly stopped before Ryan and reached out to undo his pants. She trembled as she grabbed Ryan's pants and said, "Those women have been crying all night. I won't even get to drink a sip of water if I stay with them. "I can only follow you. Please, Ryan, take me in. I'm very useful, especially in bed. Please..." Freya almost begged. Ryan reacted quickly this time. He immediately pushed Freya away. Shock was written all over his face. "Damn it, you tried to take off my pants just because I ignored you? You have some nerve!" "I... I really have no other choice. I got married right after graduating from college, and I've been a housewife ever since. "Now, being left alone on this island, I can't survive. If there were any other way, I wouldn't resort to selling my body." Tears streamed down Freya's face again as she said in despair. Ryan frowned as he looked at Freya. He felt sorry for her. "I'm already struggling enough with Nina. I can't help you. You should go back to them." "Can't you give me a chance? I'm good at labor work. I can do whatever you need me to do," Freya persisted. Ryan coldly averted his gaze. "No way." "But I... Wait, Ryan, don't go any further. There's a snake ahead!" Freya suddenly screamed. She pushed Ryan forcefully. Ryan stumbled a few steps to the side and quickly looked in the direction she was staring at. He saw a snake swiftly slithering away from where he had just been standing. The snake's speed was astonishing. Half of its body had already disappeared into the grass, leaving only its tail exposed. Ryan carefully stared at the tail for a long time. Suddenly, a realization dawned on him. This was a banded krait, which was venomous! While the venom of the banded krait wasn't as potent as that of the king cobra, it was still dangerous. Being bitten by one could easily prove fatal. He turned his attention to Freya and found her collapsed at the spot where he had been standing moments ago. "Are you okay? Did the snake bite you?" Ryan immediately asked. "I don't think so, but it seems like it did bite me. I'm not sure," Freya said tearfully. "Stop crying. Crying won't help now. If you want to live, you need to endure it," Ryan quickly instructed. After that, he began to carefully examine Freya and searched for any signs of a snake bite. The venom of the banded krait was neurotoxic. It caused little to no pain upon being bitten but posed a high risk of fatality. After searching for a while, Ryan finally found a wound on Freya's ankle. There were two small puncture marks close together. It was likely from the banded krait. This was bad. There was no medicine here to treat her. Freya looked at her ankle, her face turning pale with fear. "Am I going to die?" Ryan furrowed his brow and quickly brainstormed solutions in his mind. He glanced at Freya and said in a deep voice, "You were bitten because you tried to save me. I won't let you die." He didn't notice any snakes approaching just now. If it weren't for Freya pushing him away in time, he would have been the one bitten. As he spoke, Ryan had already thought of a solution. Following the method he had seen somewhere on the internet, he tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and tightly tied it above the wound to prevent further blood circulation. Then, he grabbed Freya's ankle and leaned in before gritting his teeth. "What are you doing?" Freya jumped in fright and immediately tried to struggle. "I'm sucking out the snake venom. Only by doing this can you survive. Letting the venom stay in your body will only lead to death," Ryan explained. He saw that the wound on Freya's ankle had already begun to darken. It meant that the venom had started to spread. Freya's fate depended on what would happen now! Freya's face turned pale when she heard this. But she suppressed her embarrassment and brought her foot closer to Ryan. "Well, thank you. Go ahead and suck it." Freya's skin was not only tender, but even the skin on her foot was smooth and pink. There was no foul odor. Instead, Ryan smelled a faint fragrance. Ryan looked at her delicate feet and was momentarily lost in thought. But he quickly regained his focus. He leaned in and sucked out a mouthful of venom. "Ah…" Freya closed her eyes tightly. Her legs trembled, and she emitted a soft moan.
