Chapter 462: Chapter 460: Luck is Also a Part of Strength_1

Fighting Chicken truly lives up to its name, its fighting power is incredible.

The sharp beak mercilessly pecked into Zheng Pianpian’s tender skin.

"Ah! It hurts so much! Go away! Hurry up and get away!"

Zheng Pianpian struggled and screamed like a madman, instantly losing all her composure.

"Not good! Quick, save her!"

Upon seeing this, the TV crew immediately rushed to rescue Zheng Pianpian.

But the Fighting Chicken’s combat prowess was simply too formidable, and even the crew members struggled to fend it off.

Xia Ningxing furrowed her brows; had only Zheng Pianpian been under attack, she would have certainly not meddled.

However, the TV crew members were innocent.

So...

"Fighting it is useless, quickly take out the eggs that Zheng Pianpian just took and give them back to these chickens!" Xia Ningxing dived into the fray, shouting as she tried to save people.

Fighting Chickens are extremely protective of their chicks. If someone or an animal steals their chicks, they will fight the thief relentlessly until their chicks are returned.

Nobody present was foolish, and they instantly realized that it was because of these eggs the wild chickens were attacking them like crazed animals.

So they immediately took out the eggs.

Seeing their own chicks, the Fighting Chickens’ rage finally subsided.

They each turned into gentle father hens or mother hens, tenderly picking up the eggs and carefully walking away.

Once they had all left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, their annoyance with Zheng Pianpian peaked.

Idiot!

To dare touch the eggs of Fighting Chickens!

As if begging for a shorter life!

The crew members present, especially those who had been injured, glared at Zheng Pianpian with resentment in their eyes.

Zheng Pianpian’s eyes reddened immediately, never expecting to have stirred up a hornet’s nest.

"I’m sorry, really sorry, it’s my fault. I’ll cook some restorative soup tonight as compensation for everyone."

While crying, Zheng Pianpian bowed repeatedly to apologize to everyone.

As a schemer, she knew exactly how to whitewash herself in such a situation.

Admitting her mistakes, apologizing, and compensating later.

Sure enough, the crew’s anger finally diminished somewhat, waving it off as nothing serious.

Zheng Pianpian had also been pretty banged up herself, her arms and legs pecked several times by the Fighting Chickens—purple, bruised and bleeding—it would probably take quite a few days to heal.

After such an incident, it was impossible to continue the journey.

TV Crew: "Due to the accident, and considering all the guests have completed this mountain challenge, everyone should head back now."

Xia Ningxing had no objections: "Okay."

Sheng Lin had no objections either.

As for Zheng Pianpian, she couldn’t wait to go back, so of course, she had no objections.

However, on the way back, Zheng Pianpian seemed to have realized something, and her expression suddenly turned very unpleasant.

Wait, if Xia Ningxing was so aware of what a Fighting Chicken is, then why didn’t she speak up to warn her when they found the eggs?

If she had spoken up, how could the recent incident have happened?

Xia Ningxing must have deliberately kept quiet!

And then just waited to watch her make a fool of herself!

It was simply too much!

Miss Zheng felt like she was almost about to crush her back molars.

She desperately wanted to point at Xia Ningxing’s nose and question her, but this was during a show recording, and she couldn’t ruin her image!

Forcing herself to calm down, Miss Zheng organized her words and decided to coax the truth out of Xia Ningxing.

Then, she said to Xia Ningxing, "Xia, I didn’t expect you to be familiar with Fighting Chicken, you’re truly impressive, knowledgeable and well-versed. I must learn from you in the future."

Though the words seemed complimentary, they reminded everyone of a fact—Xia Ningxing was quite familiar with Fighting Chicken.

Then why, when she had discovered the Fighting Chicken eggs earlier, did she not make a sound to warn Miss Zheng?

Could it have been intentional?

Seeds of suspicion were immediately planted in everyone’s hearts.

Many people turned their gazes toward Xia Ningxing.

Xia Ningxing was well aware of her malicious intentions.

She spoke up, "You’re overthinking it. I’m not as familiar with Fighting Chicken as you imagine; otherwise, how could I not recognize even the eggs of Fighting Chicken?"

"All I did was recall what the elders in my hometown said when I was young. They warned us not to provoke a certain fiery red chicken when going uphill, referring to it as Fighting Chicken, dangerous and quite protective of its young. So, that’s why I thought of it when I saw the Fighting Chicken earlier," Xia Ningxing answered flawlessly.

"What’s the matter?"

Xia Ningxing’s gaze fixed on her, sharp and piercing, seemingly trying to see through all of her little schemes.

Miss Zheng was startled by her look.

Xia Ningxing was much smarter than she had thought. Miss Zheng immediately realized she couldn’t smear her name and wisely chose to stop while ahead, "Nothing, nothing at all."

Xia Ningxing watched her figure, sneering slightly in her heart.

Heh, still trying to set a trap for me!

Bitch!

When they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, Xia Ningxing and the two men happened to encounter Ji Haichuan and his group.

Ji Haichuan and the others had already heard about what Xia Ningxing and her group had encountered from the directorial team.

The three big men then asked anxiously and concernedly, "Are you all okay?"

"It’s nothing serious," Xia Ningxing and Sheng Lin shook their heads.

Miss Zheng bit her lip, "I’m fine."

Elder Zhou took a look at Miss Zheng, "Miss Zheng, I see that your injuries seem quite serious. Maybe you should see a doctor?"

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zhou, but it’s not necessary. Don’t be fooled by the bruises on my body; actually, my injuries are not serious—it’s just superficial wounds. If my personal issues affect the show’s filming, I would feel incredibly sorry," Miss Zheng spoke sincerely, as if she truly considered others.

Seeing this, Elder Zhou nodded and said no more.

"Xia, you’ve gathered so much!" At this moment, Song Ze finally noticed Xia Ningxing carrying ginseng in her left hand and leading a wild goat with her right.

The basket on her back was even filled with wild vegetables, mushrooms, and other resources.

In contrast, the three big guys had walked around the mountain for half a day and had only caught a wild chicken and a wild duck.

"Not bad," Xia Ningxing nodded.

Sheng Lin added, "You might not know, but all these things were first discovered by Xia. She’s incredibly lucky!"

"Really impressive," Song Ze immediately gave Xia Ningxing a thumbs-up.

Xia Ningxing waved her hand, very modestly, "It’s not about being impressive; it’s just a bit of luck."

"But luck is also part of strength!" Ji Haichuan added.

[Hahaha! Fancy ass-kissing of the boss!]

[These bootlickers!]

[I’m dying of laughter!]

After returning to the courtyard, Xia Ningxing set down the basket from her back and picked out several herbs from it.
