BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136: Ouch!
For Zhou Xuan, Li Yinuo was his current best choice. She was the eldest daughter of the younger generation of a top corporation. Just by looking at her position in the Autumn Hunting team, you would know she had an extraordinary status.
Although her figure was a bit hardcore, there was actually no problem with her face — it could even be considered above average.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan, who had self-awareness of his outstanding appearance and superb acting skills, immediately chose to target Li Yinuo!
But Zhou Xuan was very clever and patient, he knew not to desperately do too many small tricks.
As a newcomer, he clearly knew he only needed to make more impressions on the target.
Li Shutong lamented at Qing Chen, "Is everyone from the Outside World so shameless?"
Qing Shen replied through gritted teeth, "He\'s also a special case."
"But now your classmate has gotten a rival," Li Shutong smiled, "I can see that your classmate is the silly and innocent type, with a big emphasis on silly. If we\'re talking about levels, he might not necessarily be this high-end player\'s opponent."
Qing Chen sighed, "I\'m really worried for him…"
Li Shutong asked, "Then should we still continue to create opportunities for this Zhou Xuan and watch the play? What if it ruined your classmate\'s position?"
Qing Chen thought for a while, "It\'s still more fun to watch the play."
The two melon eaters1Chinese slang term for people who like to sit back and enjoy the show as things unfold, similar to the ‘eating popcorn\' meme in English looked at each other and laughed…
Hehehe.
…
Countdown 126:00:00.
On the second night of transmigration, Li Shutong told Qing Chen they had been out of Prison 18 for 7 days and were now approaching Forbidden Land No. 002.
Perhaps they would be able to catch a faraway sight of the outskirts tomorrow.
Li Shutong explained, "Once we enter that place, you have to follow by my side. It\'s alright to treat other things casually, but this is the only point you must make sure to remember."
"Okay," Qing Chen gave him a serious nod.
At this moment, Qin Yiyi suddenly sat beside the two of them. She sat down and looked at the bonfire without speaking.
Li Shutong asked in surprise, "Little girl, what\'s wrong with you?"
Qin Yiyi glanced at him, "You guys have been acting secretive without talking much to me these past two days, and you even stopped playing cards with me, did you decide to default on your debts after eating my apples!"
This wilderness girl was very blunt — when she felt that something was wrong, she would directly say it out loud. She would never run away in doubt and let herself feel wronged.
Everyone was obviously talking and laughing with each other before, why did these two people suddenly start whispering among themselves and ignoring her?
Qing Chen didn\'t know whether to laugh or cry, "It\'s really not what you think!"
Qin Yiyi thought for a moment and said, "You guys are secretly observing that servant, the one called Zhou Xuan! I\'ve already found out about it!"
Li Shutong and Qing Chen looked at each other. While eating melons, they might have been able to elude other people\'s eyes, but this little girl\'s sight seemed to be glued to Qing Chen\'s body, so there was no way it would escape her notice.
After some thought, Li Shutong spoke, "I can tell you this secret since we have quite a good relationship, but you must never tell other people!"
"Come on, tell me quickly, why are you guys observing him!" Qin Yiyi\'s eyes were clear and shiny, looking even brighter under the light of the bonfire.
The little girl had her hair styled in a long braid today, making her appear clean and neat, exuding the delicateness of an adolescent starting to grow up.
"Let Xiaotu tell you," said Li Shutong.
The girl immediately turned to Qing Chen\'s side, her face only ten centimetres away from his. "Don\'t try to fool me, I\'m smart!"
As the fire swayed, Qing Chen could even see the fine hair on her face.
He awkwardly scooted away, "It\'s like this, didn\'t we talk about Li Yinuo yesterday afternoon? After that, my teacher and I found that this servant seemed to be very interested in Li Yinuo, and then he began trying to seduce her."
"Wow," Qin Yiyi\'s eyes widened, "Are all city dwellers like this? It\'s different in the wilderness, only a woman whose husband has died will seek a man to rely on. Her body won\'t be as strong after giving birth, so she won\'t be able to hunt anymore, but she can\'t let her child starve to death."
Qin Yiyi was born in the city, but after she finished her compulsory education at the age of 12, she began to follow her father to roam in the wilderness.
Moreover, she preferred the wilderness to the city, so she had always prided herself as a person of the wilderness.
The Federation of the Inner World only implemented six years of compulsory education. As for middle school, high school, and university, everyone had to pass the examination to enroll, and the tuition fee was very expensive.
It was difficult for most families to support their children until they graduated from university, so the basic education level of the people here was very low.
However, it was precisely because of this that the common people in the Federation were easier to control.
"I\'ll forgive you both, since you\'ve shared the secret with me, the three of us are now back on good terms!" Qin Yiyi smilingly took out two apples from her small satchel and handed them to Li Shutong and Qing Chen.
She also took one for herself and bit into it.
Then, she too started to observe Zhou Xuan and saw that he was diligently adding wood to the bonfire on Li Yinuo\'s side, pretending like nothing was out of the norm.
Li Yinuo was talking to Nan Gengchen in a low voice. Sitting by the bonfire, the two of them still appeared to be rather affectionate, but Nan Gengchen\'s face was dark, his expression unhappy as he refused to speak a word.
Hung above the fire was a small iron pot with fish soup stewing inside.
Gradually, the fish soup began to boil. The servant named Zhou Xuan reached out towards the iron pot, preparing to give Li Yinuo a bowl to drink.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that the pot was very hot. The moment he touched it, he retracted his hand as if he had been scalded and cried out somewhat coyly, "Ouch!"
"Puff!"
Qin Yiyi, Qing Chen, and Li Shutong sprayed out the apple in their mouths at the same time.
This guy should have thought it over for a long time and came to the conclusion that a strong girl like Li Yinuo might have a liking for frail boys like Nan Gengchen, so he tried to ‘accidentally\' reveal his frailty and see whether or not it would be able to arouse her protective instinct.
But Li Yinuo only shot him a glance and said, "Scram off and ouch somewhere else."
