Chapter 515: Chapter 515: You actually kidnapped a man?!

After Miss Su Yinwan left in a huff, Shang Shuyue’s mood greatly improved; she even took the initiative to volunteer for the task of preparing lunch.

Being both a top student and the King of Competition, she naturally excelled at almost everything, and her cooking skills were no exception, essentially on par with Jiang Li’s.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lu also eagerly raised her hand to offer assistance, and the two began to busily work in front of the stove.

"Let’s stir-fry the wild chicken we caught earlier; it will be delicious, especially if we add some wild mushrooms."

Yu Li said this and walked toward the water pool to retrieve a bucket, then lifted out the wild chicken wrapped in a plastic bag, all prepped and ready.

This was a clever solution dreamt up by Jiang Li.

The pool was deep and cool at the bottom, making it an ideal natural refrigerator for preserving food in this sweltering weather.

Sometimes when they caught more game than they could eat, they would store it here.

Fortunately, the group up top didn’t know about it, or else they wouldn’t know how much food they would have lost.

In the past few days, they had been cautious because of those on the outside and hadn’t cooked much, but today they could finally have a proper meal and were determined to feast.

[Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter, why do I feel like these two became super excited after driving Su Yinwan away?]

[You know, I felt that too.]

[Team Q is really smart, knowing how to preserve food like this.]

[Could they survive up to now if they weren’t smart? I’ve heard that last night’s ’haunting incident’ was related to these people as well.]

[It couldn’t have been Jiang Li intentionally creating the scare to drive away those people, could it? Hahaha, that would be so Sister Li.]

Soon enough, the scent of chicken stewed with mushrooms wafted through the air with the breeze.

Atop the cliff, Ren Yue had been secretly excited about the rice for lunch, but the delicious aroma that reached his nose involuntarily made him swear under his breath.

"Damn, what kind of living conditions does Team Q have? It’s either hot pot or stewed chicken meat."

Su Yinwan’s expression changed slightly, but she still spoke up to reassure him, "It’s okay, what we have here to eat is quite good too. If little Ren Yue, you want meat, we can try to catch some this afternoon."

Ren Yue quickly waved his hands in alarm, "Miss Su, your kindness is too much, that’s not what I meant; I was just casually complaining."

Su Yinwan nodded, a bit embarrassed, and then quietly continued with her meal.

Jiang Cheng, sitting beside her, also secretly sighed as he looked at the mediocre fried rice in his bowl.

Accustomed to lavish meals at home, he found it hard to accept the food here for a while.

Although the female devil might have had a bit of a temper, she truly had a knack for cooking.

He had secretly slipped into the kitchen to taste a strand of noodles she made for Jiang Shixu, and he had been instantly amazed.

Right, she could cook noodles for Jiang Shixu, serve dishes for Jiang Yan, but for himself, it was only stir-fried shredded pork with leather belt.

At this thought, Jiang Cheng’s eyes grew sorrowful, and his appetite faded.

Making an excuse, he walked away and then hid in a crack between the rocks to spy on the situation below.

Jiang Li and others usually ate outside the cave.

His own family always spoke of how poorly he got along with Jiang Yan, yet though they teased and bickered now, he always felt they were enjoying themselves.

How wonderful would it be if some of that happiness could be shared with him?

But no sooner had this thought occurred to him than Jiang Cheng stopped himself.

He scolded himself sternly in his mind.

—You’re not really a part of this family, so why yearn for these things that aren’t yours? What truly belongs to you are money, status, position! With these, you’ll truly be respected by others!

After a bit of self-brainwashing, Jiang Cheng felt quite better, and his gaze towards Jiang Li filled with resentment once again.

Humph, he would definitely make this female devil cry in front of him one day!

...

While eating, Jiang Li felt as if there was a gaze fixed on her from above.

When it came to washing the dishes, she caught a glimpse of a black thread in the crevice of the stone above her and became even more certain.

It was Xiao Hei from Su Yinwan’s team.

With a helpless smile curling her lips, Jiang Li quietly continued to wash the bowls.

Most of the time spent surviving on the deserted island was rather boring.

That’s why daily entertainment was so important.

Luckily, the books available for exchange were quite cheap. After finishing one, she could sell it back and spend five points to get a new one.

——After all, besides her, no one else was interested in such things.

She had already finished the last one, "Postnatal Care for Sows," and soon, a new book was delivered.

Shang Shuyue glanced at the English reader in her hand, then at the "Breeding Care Manual" in Jiang Li’s hand, and her mouth twitched fiercely.

Were the books she read always so esoteric?

From "A Brief History of Time" to "Postnatal Care for Sows"?

That’s ridiculous.

The rest of the group had been sent out by Jiang Li to hunt.

Their food supplies were at rock bottom, and they had only three to four hundred points left. If they didn’t find a new source soon, they would swiftly run out of food.

But to their surprise, it took less than an hour for the three men to return fuming with anger.

"This is outrageous! I knew that Shang Shaojing was no good, actually having the guts to steal from us?! We were the first to discover those wild mushrooms, yet he insisted they were theirs!"

[After witnessing the whole incident, I have to say, Team L was indeed a bit overbearing.]

[What do you mean overbearing? Didn’t Sister Li herself say, ’first come, first served’? Now they understand what overbearing is?]

[? This is clearly a different case. Can some people not overreact? It was Jiang Yan and his team who found the stuff first. Then Shang Shaojing and his team came and took it away without any reason.]

[Exactly, what kind of people they are, such are their fans – all equally disgusting!]

Yu Li, who was always good-natured, couldn’t help but show some anger on his face, but still patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don’t worry about it; just consider it as letting them have it. The important thing is to avoid conflict."

"But we didn’t find anything on our trip out." Bai Lu dejectedly dropped his basket on the ground, "I feel like ever since Team L arrived, even the wild chickens have become fewer."

Shang Shuyue nodded in agreement.

It definitely had to be Su Yinwan who was the most unlucky!

"Actually, it’s not entirely true that we got nothing." Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and then walked out of the cave.

Shortly after, his scolding voice came through.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up and get in!"

"I’m talking to you, you want my fist as big as a sandbag to land on your pathetic face?"

"Hurry up! Stop dragging your feet!"

Jiang Li looked outside in surprise.

A young man with auburn hair was being pushed and shoved into the cave by Jiang Yan.

His hands were tightly bound by vines, and his mouth was stuffed full of leaves, his face marked with unwillingness.

"Jiang Li, this is what we’ve gained this afternoon," said Jiang Yan.

Shang Shuyue’s eyes widened, "Did you guys actually kidnap a man?!"

"No, it’s not like that." Bai Lu explained, "We found this guy lurking around near our cave, spying sneakily for a long time. That’s why we tied him up and brought him here for Lili to interrogate."
