Chapter 624: Chapter 624: If Snake Meat Is Eaten, What’s a Bug?

"Ah!!!!!"

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Jiang Cheng’s mouth.

In an instant, his face lost all its color.

"Sis, sis, sis...." he breathlessly tried to reach out to stop Jiang Li’s actions.

Jiang Li, however, slapped his hand away.

"If you don’t want to become a cripple, you’d better endure it."

His words successfully made Jiang Cheng bite his lip.

In the end, no matter how hard Jiang Li tried, he didn’t make a sound.

[LOL, hearing that he might become a cripple, Jiang Cheng didn’t even flinch.]

[Sometimes this kid really cherishes his life.]

After fixing his broken leg, Jiang Li began to treat the wound on his forehead.

It looked like a lot of blood had been spilt, very frightening, but it was just a cut.

She found some hemostatic herbs and wrapped them with gauze, and wiped the other wounds with the herbs too.

Looking at the girl, her eyes brightened by the campfire, Jiang Cheng was deeply moved.

Perhaps now he finally understood who truly cared for him.

"Actually, female devil..." Jiang Cheng sniffed hard, "you’re quite cute when you’re not fierce."

Jiang Li glanced at him and clapped her hands, "You’re quite likable when you’re not acting crazy too."

Jiang Cheng’s cheeks heated up, until Jiang Li added another comment.

"Pity, you act crazy 24 hours a day."

Jiang Cheng: "....."

Can’t she say something nice for once?!

After treating Jiang Cheng’s wounds, Jiang Li didn’t bother with him anymore, she found a container, collected some dripped cave water, and started to boil it.

After the water boiled, she fetched a small cup, filled it, and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

"Drink this, warm yourself up."

Jiang Cheng contentedly took the cup and started drinking, thinking contentedly, Jiang Yan and Jiang Shixu must not be getting this treatment.

Falling into the lake wasn’t so bad after all.

Having successfully shut Jiang Cheng up, Jiang Li started preparing dinner.

Her backpack only had a few bags of bread left. To conserve for a potential emergency tomorrow, she didn’t touch those rations but managed to forage for something else outside.

Seeing what Jiang Li was roasting on the charcoal, which looked utterly blackened, Jiang Cheng curiously leaned over, "What’s that?"

"Water tiger, our dinner tonight."

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s puzzled expression, Jiang Li curved her lips and explained, "That’s its scientific name, simply put, it’s a dragonfly larva."

Jiang Cheng’s eyes widened in horror, "Dragonfly larva? That’s our dinner?"

[???? Can you even eat that????]

[Just to clarify, you actually can eat it; it’s rich in protein and fat, kudos to Jiang Li for being able to find this outside.]

[I can’t handle it; just looking at it makes me want to vomit; Yueyue, yueyue.]

[Wait, isn’t Jiang Cheng super picky with food? Can he really eat this stuff?]

To everyone’s surprise, Jiang Cheng did look disturbed, but the next second, he picked up one of the cooked water tigers.

"It’s just a bug, right? I’ve eaten snake meat; why should this scare me?"

Saying so, he closed his eyes and, in one breath, popped the entire insect into his mouth and chewed.

Jiang Li was somewhat surprised and quirked an eyebrow.

"Pretty impressive, alright then, eat all of these."

Saying so, she, like performing a magic trick, pulled out a dozen more.

Jiang Cheng: "....."

"Ugh!"

Inside the cabin.

The sky had completely darkened, but the rain outside still hadn’t stopped.

Seeing that Jiang Li hadn’t returned, everyone inevitably started to worry.

Bai Lu couldn’t help her eyes reddening, "It’s been so long, could something have happened to Lili?"

"It shouldn’t have." Yu Li glanced at the leaderboard on his watch, "Jiang Li’s name is still on it. She’s smart, she definitely wouldn’t let herself get into danger."

"Yeah, she’s grown up; she definitely won’t have any issues," Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.

Bai Lu, however, looked at his leg that had been trembling non-stop since this morning, "Young Master Jiang, are you really not worried about Lili at all?"

Jiang Yan continued to feign indifference, "I’m not worried at all."

Yeah right!

When that girl gets back, he’s definitely going to give her a good scolding!

She had to run off to find Jiang Cheng, and now it’s so late and she’s still not back.

"Alright," interim team captain Shang Shuyue spoke up, "Haven’t we all survived till today thanks to Jiang Li? Don’t you even have that much trust in her?"

Amidst her words, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, if Jiang Li could look after the safety of so many people, how could she not ensure her own safety?

Pei Ye, who had been silent in the corner, also rarely spoke up, "Don’t worry, with our young master accompanying Miss Jiang, she will definitely be fine."

Instantly, everyone’s gaze turned towards him.

Pei Ye, facing so many eyes for the first time, obviously felt uncomfortable, and after lowering his hat’s brim, he leaned back against the wall.

[Hahahaha Brother Pei is actually socially anxious.]

[Damn, I wouldn’t have known there was another person here if he didn’t speak.]

Jiang Yan scoffed.

A young master, really?

Is he just a pretty boy living off others?

Could it be that Gu Yu is their top honcho?

It’s true that some bar’s top honchos are referred to as young masters.

"What can he do with those skinny arms and legs? I could take down three men with one punch," Jiang Yan said dismissively.

Pei Ye didn’t say anything.

After all, these people hadn’t seen their young master take down three men with a single punch.

"It seems like Jiang Li won’t be coming back today." In order to prevent an argument, Shang Shuyue spoke again, "Let’s eat first. We need to conserve our strength. We can’t all be weak when Jiang Li comes back, can we?"

"Yes, Yueyue, you’re right, we need to rest up too!"

With that, Bai Lu went forward and served herself a full bowl of rice.

The atmosphere around also relaxed notably due to the sounds of eating.

...

Inside the cave.

Jiang Cheng, having struggled to swallow ten or so water bugs, almost turned green.

But with a slight turn of his head, he saw Jiang Li expressionlessly chewing off the head of a huge water bug.

Jiang Cheng: "...."

How had he ever thought to go against this terrifying female devil?

After eating and drinking their fill, Jiang Li clapped her hands and stood up, adding a few handfuls of wood to the fire.

"It’s getting late, your clothes are dry, let’s just make do and sleep here tonight."

"Okay."

On this, Jiang Cheng had no complaints, nor was he as picky as before.

After all, compared to the cold and hard crevice between rocks where he had slept last night, this place was already heaven.

Jiang Li took off her jacket and laid it over herself, found a decent rock to lean on, and then slowly closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Cheng had secretly moved closer to her.

He seemed to be testing her, carefully resting his head on her shoulder while using his peripheral vision to gauge her response.

Seeing that Jiang Li showed no signs of refusal, he finally relaxed and pressed his whole body against hers.

Hmm.

The female devil’s body was indeed very warm.
