Chapter 622: Chapter 626: Scandal Queen (27)

Lang Erping stomped angrily, and Qin Qing was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shrank into herself.

It was only after the monkeys dispersed that she complained with tears in her eyes, "Marquis, you should have killed those animals earlier."

To her, Qin Qing’s words didn’t seem like a big deal given the feudal society she had once experienced, where human life was as cheap as dirt, let alone a few monkeys.

Even if they had killed them on the spot, she would have only felt troubled.

But the viewers in the live stream didn’t think so, they would only think of them as too cruel.

Moreover, these monkeys seemed somewhat off, different from any monkey people knew.

It seemed...like a species never seen before...

If this assumption were confirmed, then these monkeys would be very valuable.

Just now, even if Qin Qing wanted to harm them in words, she would have to see if the national organizations would agree.

Lang Erping didn’t notice anything unusual, and just shook his head with an ugly expression, "What’s the use of talking about this now, who was the one screaming and hiding behind me just now?"

Lang Erping’s displeasure wasn’t because he thought Qin Qing was wrong, but because he was dissatisfied with her hindsight.

His Qingqing wouldn’t have been so useless.

But he didn’t consider that, in an ancient society, how many people like his Qingqing could there be? They were truly one of a kind.

Qin Qing’s reaction was actually the most typical reaction for all women, even Xie Susu who grew up in modern society was also terribly frightened.

With these words, Lang Erping had inadvertently offended Xie Susu as well.

It was only when her emotions calmed down that she realized how disappointing her reaction had been.

Faced with such an emergency, perhaps her reaction was the most genuine of everyone, but as a public figure, people didn’t care whether you were genuine or not, they wanted to see something different from themselves.

Otherwise, why would they adore someone who was hardly different from an ordinary person?

Thinking of how thousands of viewers had witnessed her disgraceful behavior just now, Xie Susu felt like dying...

When she had taken up this program, she was full of confidence, believing that with her abilities, she could definitely control the whole process. She may not have expected to gain more popularity, but she never expected to make a fool of herself.

But as it turned out, it had happened.

She was already annoyed inside, and Lang Erping’s words had undoubtedly pulled her into it as well.

She was one of the people who screamed in fright just now.

In contrast, the performance of the amateur Xu Xiaoqing was somewhat commendable.

Silently, Xie Susu found herself hating everyone there.

Wang Bai was already displeased at his leading role being overtaken, and now seizing the opportunity, he vented all his pent-up frustration.

What seemed to be a forming team suddenly became disorganized, with all conflicts laid out on the table.

Everyone was upset and wanted to leave, yet no one wanted to be the first to suggest it.

As the evening drew near, they had only eaten a little on the cruise ship in the morning and were already digested by now.

Yet no one was the first to propose going out to look for food.

When their hunger became unbearable, the sky had already turned completely dark. Even those with ideas could only suppress them.

With the sky pitch-black and without a single star, covered by thick clouds,

even an experienced survivalist wouldn’t dare move around.

This simple common sense was understood by everyone present.

Compared to the tragic state of Er Ping’s side, Su Li’s situation was much more comfortable, no, not just comfortable...

The group of monkeys took to Su Li as if they were destined to be her most loyal followers.

If she commanded them to go east, they dared not go west; if she told them to go west, they dared not go east.

Da Pan and Xue Guo were puzzled by this but dared neither speak nor ask.

Anyway, clutching onto her coattails was all they needed to enjoy the good life.

Before, Da Pan thought they were already extremely fortunate to be able to drink and eat in such a place, little did he know, he was thinking too simplistically.

They not only feasted on fresh fruits and tasty beverages but also on superbly grilled fish.

Yes, you heard right, grilled fish.

It was the Monkey King who, with a group of little monkeys, brought them back.

In this region, they hadn’t found any water source nearby and they didn’t know how these monkeys had managed to catch the fish.

As evening fell, they gathered dry branches picked by the monkeys to build a bonfire outside the cave and started grilling the fragrant fish.

When the fish turned golden brown, they squeezed the juice of leftover fruits over it, filling the air with a unique aroma.

By the time the grilling was almost done, Da Pan and Xue Guo couldn’t wait and each grabbed a fish, taking a big bite, "Ahh."

The moment they bit down, their eyes widened dramatically, and then squinted into thin slits, devouring the fish in their hands even faster.

It was delicious, incredibly delicious.

Neither Da Pan nor Xue Guo knew what type of fish it was, as they had never seen it before.

The fish was succulent and tasty; apart from a bit of fruit juice, no other seasoning was added, yet it was delicious.

This flavor and texture were indescribably delightful—just eat it.

Su Li also took a fish and ate leisurely, then gave an appreciative look to her newly recruited follower, Little Monkey.

"Alright, here you go, monkeys really are crafty spirits."

With that, Su Li tossed something to the Monkey King with swift speed, while Little Monkey was even quicker.

Upon touching the item, it clutched it tightly in its arms, as if terrified of it being snatched away, covering it securely.

Meanwhile, the other little monkeys looked on humanly, showing eyes full of envy and desire.

Da Pan, raising his head from his engrossed eating, couldn’t help but ask Su Li curiously, "What did you just throw over there?"

The viewers watching the live stream were also curious.

They had a feeling that it was because of this object that Su Li was able to command the monkeys, making them obey her every command.

Before Da Pan even asked, they were already dying to know; now that Da Pan had asked, it hit right on the spot.

But Su Li seemed to have no intention of answering.

She looked back at Da Pan with a half-smile, "Oh nothing, just a little gift."

"I’m not some tyrant like Huang Shiren. When they’re my loyal followers, of course I’ll treat them well... How can a horse work without eating grass, right?"

Well, it could actually work, but it would just take more effort, to beat them into submission.

But that’s too tiring... She wasn’t foolish; why opt for a complicated method when there’s an easier one?

Hugging the spiritual energy ball tightly, the Monkey King was ecstatic, yet unexpectedly, his body shivered uncontrollably.
