Chapter 1230 - Yun Liuli, Are You Conjuring Magic?

The winning team would obtain the Black Tortoise map, whilst the losing team had to hand over all the maps they had to the winning team.

When she heard this, Liu Yuxi asked, “Sister Liuli, does it matter even if we lose? You’ve memorized the maps already, haven’t you?”

Team Blue was speechless.

Fu Tianci felt that no matter how he looked at it, they were on the losing end in this game!

Even if Yun Liuli had to hand over all her maps, she had already memorized them, so it didn’t make a difference to them!

On the contrary, Shi Hanchu didn’t seem bothered by it. He smiled and patted on his teammates’ shoulders. “What’s most important now is that we win the map.”

The vampire distributed an especially small electronic locust cage to each of them. When the switch was turned on, one could hear the chirping of locusts inside. He gave them a hint, telling everyone to make their movements lighter when picking up the garbage so as not to awaken the dragon from its deep slumber, else something scary would happen. If they accidentally woke the dragon, they would have to use their electronic locust to fight the dragon.

The game that was to follow the picking up of garbage wasn’t very friendly to girls like Yun Liuli and Liu Yuxi—making basketball shots.

They would have five balls, and whichever team made more shots would be declared the winner!

Even though Shi Hanchu, Fu Tianci, and Du Wenjie gave them a handicap, Yun Liuli’s team lost anyway—no surprises there.

Liu Yuxi stared at Yun Liuli with watery eyes and asked, “Sister Liuli, what are we to do?”

After some pondering, Yun Liuli said, “Let’s follow Team Blue!”

Liu Yuxi nodded. That sounded right… Team Blue had more maps than them!

Seeing that it was noon already, Team Blue sat down and took a break. They opened the alpine sack the production crew gave them and found dry rations inside.

Thankfully, Gu Qingcheng had packed BP-5 biscuits inside Yun Liuli’s backpack. However… because Liu Yuxi scattered away most of the mineral water earlier, what little water remained wasn’t enough for the two of them.

Having no water was a major problem for them.

Seeing the dry BP-5 biscuits in their hands, Liu Yuxi asked Yun Liuli, “What’s going to happen to you if I drink this, Sister Liuli?”

Fu Tianci could no longer stand by and watch. He wanted to share the water they were allocated with Yun Liuli, but Du Wenjie disagreed. As a result, there was a minor conflict amongst the team.

Fu Tianci felt that they ought to help Yun Liuli and Liu Yuxi since they were girls!

Du Wenjie, however, felt that this was a competition, and it wasn’t like they were in a life-and-death situation, so they ought to respect the rules of the game.

Finally, it was Shi Hanchu who ended the conflict in Team Blue by speaking up. He reasoned that the production crew wouldn’t really let something happen to the guests, that they should play their respective parts well, and a competition was a competition.

Yun Liuli paid no heed to Team Blue’s argument. She asked Liu Yuxi to finish the water, then took a Swiss army knife out from her bag and cut the water bottle into two halves. After that, she found a wet patch of muddy ground and dug a deep hole. She placed the bottle into the hole, then took out a plastic wrapper from her bag and spread it open on the edges of the deep hole. When she was done with that, she gently placed a rock on the centremost part of the plastic wrapper. She then went back to sit under the shade of the tree and waited for sunshine to shift to the hole she just dug.

“Sister Liuli, what were you doing?” Liu Yuxi asked.

It wasn’t just Liu Yuxi who was curious, even Du Wenjie and Fu Tianci were incredibly curious. Only Shi Hanchu understood what Yun Liuli was doing. He couldn’t help but silently praise the young lady’s cleverness. At the same time, though, he was curious as to why such a young lady had such skills to survive in the wilderness!

When lunchtime ended, and everyone was about to set off, Yun Liuli slowly stood up under the shade. She walked to the hole and shifted away the rock on the plastic wrapper, then carefully removed the mud and plastic wrapper. From the deep hole, she took out the mineral water bottle that was cut in half, and everyone saw to their surprise that there was at least half a cup of water inside.

“D*mn!” Du Wenjie was stunned. “Yun Liuli, are you conjuring magic?”

Fu Tianci had widened his eyes as well, unable to understand where this water came from.

Only Shi Hanchu got to his feet and carried his alpine sack. “Let’s go! There are less than four hours left.”

Yun Liuli took a few bites of the compact biscuits, then finished gulping down the water before storing the plastic wrapper and self-made cup into her backpack. She then set off with the guys.

At the next barrier, they met a female general sitting on a swing. Su Manman bore the same style as the generals in “The General”.

Amidst the sky full of dancing pink petals, Su Manman, who was dressed like a general, sat on the swing. She had a white jade hair ornament adorning her jet-black hair, and her long hair, which was tied up in a ponytail, was flowing in the wind. She reached out and let a perfect petal land in her hand, a gentleness amidst her murderous aura. The hint of a cold smile at the corner of her lips was both mesmerizing and suffocating!

Seemingly disturbed by the intruders, she looked back, crushing the petal in her hand in an instant.

Su Manman got to her feet, holding the sword at her waist with one hand. She had a wary look in her eyes, and her murderous intent was evident, giving off the aura of a heroine. “Who’s that?”

Du Wenjie and Fu Tianci looked towards Shi Hanchu, a weird smile on their faces, as if saying they were bound to win this.

Although Yun Liuli knew Su Manman, it would be abrupt for her to say hello since they were in the midst of recording and were following a plot.

The director had deliberately invited Su Manman.

Shi Hanchu and Su Manman were extremely popular to begin with. Add to that the plot of two women chasing after a man, and the ratings for this episode were bound to be even higher.

Su Manman came because Shi Hanchu was a guest on this episode.

Su Manman was acting as a highly formidable dragon-slaying female general called Wei Xueyang. She had been dead for over a thousand years, but her soul had remained there to stand guard by the dragon, to stop the dragon from doing evil and harming the civilians should it awaken.

However, before the female general volunteered to come and watch over this dragon that had suddenly appeared, her husband had gone to battle for half a year, and she hadn’t seen him or heard any news from him since then. Hence, she missed her husband very much and asked the two teams to help her search for the reincarnation of her husband. The team that found him would obtain the White Tiger map.

Before this, each team would send out a representative to compete in flexibility. The winning team would obtain a very useful hint, and the losing team would obtain a vague hint.

Regardless of Shi Hanchu, Fu Tianci, or Du Wenjie… how could these three guys compete in flexibility with Liu Yuxi, who had been learning ballet from a young age?

Du Wenjie and Fu Tianci obediently bowed to Su Manman and called out in unison, “Sis-in-law!”

Su Manman revealed a motherly smile on the swing. “You’re rather sweet-tongued, but I’m sorry, I can’t let you pass just because of that!”

Liu Yuxi was super happy that she could contribute her part, so she gave the challenge her all and easily won this round.

When Yun Liuli and Liu Yuxi moved closer to Su Manman to hear the hint, they saw Su Manman reveal a shy expression at them…
