Chapter 37

After walking around for a day, Lu Zhi was on the verge of a mental breakdown. She leaned against Jin Hang and complained, “I’m so tired. What’s wrong with the production team? Why did they place the supply station so far away?”

Zhao Yuan sighed, “Yeah, we’ve been walking for so long and we still haven’t found it. I’m starting to suspect that we’ve taken the wrong way.”

[I’m dying of laughter. They still have the nerve to say that. How far did they walk for the whole day? They’re either complaining about their legs hurting and asking to rest, or they’re having a headache and feeling like they’re about to get a heat stroke. Bai Lin can catch up to them in two hours.]

[Bai Xi’s luggage is also troublesome. Her dresses are already torn, but she still has to take them along. Each person has two large suitcases. It’s no wonder they’re tired.]

[Our Xixi is doing this to maintain her beauty. She’s doing this show for her fans. She must want everyone to see her best side. Please understand.]

[I can’t understand. If it were a dating variety show, it’d be fine if she dresses up every day. But this is a survival variety show! Crying about her hands hurting after cutting two or three bamboos… Since she’s so delicate, why attend the show in the first place?]

Lin Shu pushed up his glasses awkwardly. “Let’s rest for today. My son will be back tomorrow. He has a strong sense of direction, he can lead the way.”

Lu Zhi thought for a moment and frowned. “Do you think Bai Lin planned this? She purposely chose your son to stay behind so that we can’t find the way?”

Lin Shu did not reply and continued to study how to set up the tent. Zhao Yuan clicked her tongue and said, “This child has always been devious. When she was eight years old, she dared go behind our back and secretly scald Xixi with hot water. I thought that by sending her to the countryside to reflect and refresh, she’d be able to restrain herself. I didn’t expect her to get worse.”

“There’s such a thing?” Lu Zhi asked curiously. “She’s already learned how to harm people at the age of eight?”

“Yup!” The more Zhao Yuan spoke, the more agitated she became. She held Bai Xi and angrily complained about Bai Lin. “She’s come from me after all. When she came back this year, we wanted to treat her well. Xixi didn’t care about almost being disfigured from being burned before too. We sincerely treated her well, but guess what?”

Everyone had the inclination to gossip, not to mention that the subject of the gossip was Bai Lin who had been omnipotent in the variety show and had tricked them many times. Everyone’s attention was focused on Zhao Yuan.

Bai Xi leaned against Zhao Yuan and showed her kindness and magnanimity at the right time. “Mom, forget it. Jiejie’s already grown up now. It’s been so long, stop mentioning it.”

[Xixi is beautiful and kind. She’s still defending Bai Lin! I’m about to die of anger!]

[Why doesn’t Bai Lin dare let others know that she’s so evil when she dares harm others?]

[Our Xixi is so pitiful. Not only is she being hurt by Bai Lin in private, she can’t have her peace even on the show. Bai Lin is pure bad luck. She should get out of the show!]

[Bai Lin, get lost from The Brave Traveler!]

[… Say, you up there, you’re too extreme. How Bai Lin’s behaved on the show is a completely different person from what Zhao Yuan’s saying. I don’t believe it anyway.]

[I’m not sure. Let’s keep watching.]

Zhao Yuan’s heart ached as she tugged Bai Xi and looked at Lin Shu from time to time. “My Xixi’s been obedient since she was a child. She knows how to care for others, unlike that heartless one. Since you’ve pleaded her case, we’ll forget it then.”

“Don’t.” Fan Feng was filled with righteous indignation. “This kind of person should be exposed. What if someone accidentally falls in love with this kind of scum?”

This time, Bai Xi did not stop him. She lowered her eyes without saying a word.

Just as Zhao Yuan took a sip of water and was about to expose all of Bai Lin’s evil deeds when she was young, however, Lin Shu frowned and looked at his palm. “Is it raining?”

“How is it raining?” Fan Feng asked.

As if some kind of forbidden spell was triggered, the drizzle that had been barely detectable instantly poured down.

Everyone was drenched, and this was not the worst-case scenario.

Amidst the noisy rain, there was the vague sound of wolves howling. The sound was getting closer and closer. Other than the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves, there was also the sound of a creature moving in a more rhythmic manner.

“Help! There’s a wolf!” Lu Zhi exclaimed.

A wolf that was half the height of a man emerged from the bushes. Its fangs were sharp, and its green eyes glowed with greed in the dark.
