Chapter 165: Chapter 131: Exorbitant Prey (Three in One)

Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou came out of the tent, where Nong Chun was making a fire to cook breakfast.

Seeing Jiang Ning come out, Nong Chun said immediately, "That marmot and rabbit were bought by them... sold for forty million."

What Nong Chun didn’t mention was the incredulous looks on the faces of Ling Bo and Mu Mingxuan when he first brought over the rabbit and marmot and asked if the other guests wanted to buy them; they thought they were hearing things. Then they all expressed interest in purchasing.

However, upon hearing Nong Chun’s quoted price, they started to grumble, accusing him of daylight robbery and asking Nong Chun to lower the price.

The prey was caught by Jiang Ning and the price set by her; how could Nong Chun decide? He continually shook his head.

Jian Tiantian was the first to say she would buy it, and then, upon hearing this, the other guests immediately also said they wanted to buy.

Tens of millions for tens of millions; surely they weren’t going to starve here over that tiny amount of money?!

But there were only two animals to sell, and there were seven guests wanting to buy. Nong Chun initially wanted to sell to Jian Tiantian and Ling Bo, who were the first two to say they’d buy, but then Mu Mingxuan came over, throwing his weight around, and ultimately, the guests agreed to buy together and share the cost.

As soon as Nong Chun saw Mu Mingxuan coming over, he suddenly doubled the just quoted price. In the end, he claimed it was a special price given Mu Mingxuan’s dark expression.

Finally, Mu Mingxuan agreed in a deep voice.

Thirty million to be shared among seven guests, with Mu Mingxuan adding an extra ten million.

Hearing Nong Chun’s words, Jiang Ning didn’t react much, simply nodding lightly.

[Wow! In just a short while, Jiang Ning roped in forty million in donations. It’s really nice to fleece these rich folks!]

[Hahaha, yeah, Mu Mingxuan’s face was truly hilarious just now. He clearly looks down on Jiang Ning but can’t help but bow down and pay a high price for her goods.]

[Jiang Ning: I just love the look on your face when you can’t stand me, not only can’t you defeat me, but you also have to be fleeced by me hahahaha, feels oddly satisfying.]

[If Jiang Ning and Huo Miao’s identities hadn’t been swapped, Mu Mingxuan... should be Jiang Ning’s fiancé. Does he know about the switch between Jiang Ning and Huo Miao’s identities?]

[Eh forget it, Mu Mingxuan and Huo Ziheng are just like they’ve been poisoned, devotedly loyal to Huo Miao one after the other; don’t pick your fiancé from a trash can.]

[Forty million... just for a rabbit and a marmot. Jiang Ning didn’t even make them write IOUs. Will these people really donate the money when the time comes?]

[They have to donate! There might not be an IOU, but we have our eyes! We can see crystal clear!]

After selling the rabbit and marmot, only a chicken remained. Nong Chun followed Jiang Ning’s previous method, skinned and feathered it all at once, chopped it into small pieces, and began to stew it with the other seasonings.

As he was making breakfast, the other guests finally weren’t idle either; they also built two fires with stones and started to slaughter rabbits and marmots... Afraid that seven people wouldn’t have enough to eat, Jian Tiantian went to nearby areas and plucked plenty of wild vegetables, planning to cook them as side dishes.

Before long, the air was filled with the fragrance of meat, and all guests were treated to a hearty meal, unexpectedly rejuvenating everyone from their weakness as if they’d come back to life. Even Huo Ziheng, who was severely injured, didn’t look as weak as before.

After breakfast, as the sun came out, everyone packed up and continued on their way.

Yesterday, Qi Xingzhou had carried Jiang Ning’s backpack all day without a word of complaint. Jiang Ning originally wanted to take it back today, but Qi Xingzhou extended his long arm and took Jiang Ning’s heavy backpack upon himself once more.

Huo Miao, who had no choice but to carry a backpack, lifted her eyes to see Qi Xingzhou casually taking Jiang Ning’s backpack upon himself. With a height over one meter eighty, Qi Xingzhou was taller than all the men present and handsome despite being quiet, with a distinguished and outstanding demeanor. Jiang Ning’s heavy women’s backpack looked extraordinarily light and natural on his broad back.

Qi Xingzhou’s simple gesture made Huo Miao’s eyes turn red.

Huo Miao’s luggage had always been taken care of by Huo Ziheng and Mu Mingxuan. But yesterday, Huo Ziheng had been wounded on his back by monkeys, so of course, he couldn’t carry heavy stuff anymore. Mu Mingxuan was taking care of Huo Ziheng’s belongings, so Huo Miao had to carry her own things.

Huo Miao frowned and followed sullenly in the middle of the group, her mood clearly not very cheerful.

[This Sister Disaster is now less and less able to hide her feelings, totally lacking in any facial expression management, as if she’s afraid everyone won’t notice her unhappiness.]
