Chapter 304: Chapter 53 The Best Wife Candidate?【8500】_3 Chapter 304: Chapter 53 The Best Wife Candidate?【8500】_3 “I lead the way by my intuition, do you know what that means? We’ve safely left the forest, right? That’s my skill. Want to know where we are? Just ask around; won’t that be easy?”

“But there’s nobody around here to ask!”

“Why don’t you get a better look from a higher vantage point?! Do I still have to teach you the simple principle of viewing things from uphill?”

“View from uphill? We just barely crawled out of the forest, if we climb back up, won’t we end up back in it?”

“Hmmm, you have a point there. What do you suggest we do?”

“Let’s keep following this road and see if we can find anybody. We surely can’t die from holding in our piss.”

“But we haven’t seen any people in a long time, have we?”

As they bicker and keep walking, the moon reaches its zenith. Suddenly, they remember, “Ah, now that we’re out of the forest, our Heavenly Judgment can function properly again. Let’s check it to find out our location…”

They stop in unison, scratching their heads and sighing.

“We really are a couple of idiots.”

“Couldn’t agree more…”

Simultaneously, they pull out their Heavenly Judgment. In a long-anticipated moment, brilliant light sparkles; the Heavenly Judgment is finally responsive.

The two self-proclaimed fools are none other than Xu the Third and Xu the Fourth. After surviving on spider meat in a cave, practicing their knife skills, and finally making some progress, they couldn’t hold their frustration any longer.

Most importantly, the spider meat tasted terrible!

For a long time, their best luck was discovering a snake’s nest and catching a flock of birds. Otherwise, they got nothing.

Though the spider meat was hard to stomach, they could have coped with it if it weren’t for the lack of salt. The spider meat was already horrible, and without any spices, it was even harder to swallow. Having acknowledged this, they finally attempted to leave the forest. Once they did, they were truly free!

After fiddling with the Heavenly Judgment for quite some time, they both looked up and said, “Why on earth…how did we end up in Qi?”

“I was wondering the same thing… How on earth did we get here?”

“Why are you asking me? You’ve been in charge of navigating since we left the small town. Weren’t you the one who said that if we’re confused, our enemies will be too?”

“But now…there are no enemies around, we’re just making ourselves dizzy.”

“Third brother, could you please be a bit more reliable? Apart from eating, drinking and charging blindly, your only other activity is rubbing dirt off your skin. How much dirt accumulate during this journey? Don’t you find it disgusting?”

“I just want to see if the dirt I get off of myself during the summer would outweigh me. It’s an experiment. Besides, when you have nothing better to do, you’ve got to create fun for yourself.” Xu the Third bragged with triumph.

“Couldn’t you just wash yourself with water instead?”

“Are you silly? If I do that… the dirt will be gone, right? How can I continue the experiment then? Where’s the fun in that?”

Xu the Fourth retreated defeatedly, “You make such a compelling argument, I can’t say anything against it. And about the smell, I just want to step back three quarters.”

“Let’s go around from this side.”

After studying the Heavenly Judgment for a while, Xu the Third pointed to a direction and said, “From here, we can go around and make our way back to Qin.”

“Great, once we return to Qin, let’s go directly to the small town to find Physician Feng. Now that we’re skilled fighters, we can work for Physician Feng.”

“That settles it then.”

And so, they continued to travel under the stars and moon.

Here’s where I would like to remark that Xu the Third has made a common cognitive mistake: he uses the direction indicated by the Heavenly Judgment to determine their course. This method in itself isn’t wrong, but the issue lies in the misunderstanding of mirror imaging. When the device points to the right, he should actually head left. However, Xu the Third instead moves in the direction indicated by the device. Xu the Fourth, accustomed to following his brother, mindlessly adheres to this course of action.

Thus, one naive fool following another ends up running farther and farther away from Qin.

Instead of returning to Qin, they cross Qi and are headed straight for Chu…

…

Feng Yin stares at the basket in front of him, filled with small snakes, completely dumbfounded.

This development led Feng Ying, delighted at the prospect of a hunt, to catch two snakes and put them in his mouth.

He Xiangming watches in complete stun, unable to react in time.

A moment of lucidity brings absolute terror: My god, these are rare creatures, valued in the millions…

Feng Yin only took one bite before spitting them out, disgustedly going to find a toothbrush. Gross, they taste horrible!

After twitching for a moment, the two snakes croak.

He Xiangming is so heartbroken she almost cries.

Poor future snake kings, laid to waste by a pet cat…

But she can’t say anything.

This cat is Ling Yunduan, Master Ling’s beloved, unrivaled favorite.

He Xiangming even has to compliment: Ah, such a lively cat, so playful.
