Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Carefully Raised a White-eyed Wolf

The setting sun packed up its last rays and tossed them into the bonfire outside the cave where Jiang Li and the others were staying.

That pot base, spicier than the scorching sun itself, was now rolling with enticing foam.

Aside from Jiang Li, everyone else was staring at the red oil pot base with eyes gleaming green.

Bai Lu started spouting flattering words again, "My God, Jiang Li, you even know how to make a hotpot base, it smells amazing!"

Jiang Li laughed and said, "Half the credit goes to Yu Li."

If it weren’t for him substituting some herbs for the hotpot base ingredients, the broth in front of them would not be as rich.

It not only satisfied the taste buds but was also good for health, which could not be more appropriate.

Seeing the pot boiling, Jiang Yan hurriedly dumped the fatty beef he had exchanged into it, then tirelessly started cooking other meats.

The fragrance of the meat, completely intensified by the hotpot seasonings, then billowed towards the direction of Team L’s camp.

Ren Yue was biting into his bread when the scent of hotpot invaded his nostrils, making him subconsciously think he was hallucinating, until the aroma became increasingly stronger.

"Damn, where is this hotpot smell coming from?!"

He sniffed around and eventually, his gaze fixed on the people at the foot of the mountain—

They were surrounding a steaming hot, spicy hotpot!

Ren Yue was shocked.

He had been on the Deserted Island for a week as well, and the best meal he had was roasted rabbit, at that time he had been proud that his team probably had the best food on the entire island.

Little did he expect that the bottom-ranking Team Q was actually enjoying hotpot!

This was a deserted island, after all!

Shang Shaojing was not someone with a strong appetite; food to him was merely a source of energy.

But he had forgotten that was because he had never needed to worry about food before; their family chef always managed to satisfy his taste buds from all aspects.

However, now on the deserted island, filling his belly each day was already a struggle, let alone tasting delicious food.

But now, he really smelled the aroma that stimulated his taste buds, and instantly, the bread in his hand lost its appeal; thinking that Jiang Li and his group were eating hotpot bought with his points made him even more restless.

The entire team, except for Zhuola who was undisturbed due to her year-round training, couldn’t help but grimace.

At the base of the mountain, Jiang Yan and his group were enjoying their meal even more.

Knowing that Shang Shaojing was stationed above them, Jiang Yan let himself go even more—

"This fatty beef is too delicious, I’ve never had anything like it outside."

"Wow, this mushroom, my God, it’s incredible, I didn’t expect mushrooms to taste so good in a butter pot."

"Do we still have a box of pork? Let me cook it, too."

"..."

Even Brother Pig sleeping behind a rock started complaining.

Watching those bright red slices of meat, Xiao Hei shifted around in his den.

—Hoping these people would finish eating soon, or it might set its sights on him!

[These people are too much, they are actually eating hotpot!]

[Oh my, you’re making me hungry, this is too much!]

[It’s hilarious, without comparison there’s no harm, Team L up there can’t even stand the smell of bread anymore, everyone’s face has turned.]

Not just Team L, even the crew members in the director’s booth were turning green with envy, vowing to have hotpot tonight no matter what.

With no other options, Zheng Xun could only open his wallet and make the kitchen whip up a hotpot.

Then he added a serious mark against Jiang Li in his grudge book.

On the slope, Jiang Cheng just couldn’t hold back and ended up joining Ren Yue, lying on the edge of the cliff to watch the people below enjoying their hotpot.

Ren Yue’s saliva couldn’t stop dripping.

"I’m so jealous, they even get to eat hotpot, those guys are having way too much fun."

Jiang Cheng’s smile faded a bit as he rubbed his own shrunken stomach.

It’s okay, it’s just a hotpot, right? After all, once he left this island, he could eat as much as he wanted.

Su Yinwan also walked over, observing Jiang Cheng’s complex expression, and suddenly had an idea.

"Somebody mentioned earlier that Jiang Li and her brother weren’t getting along well, but looking at them now, there’s none of that at all, it seems they’re quite happy eating together."

Jiang Cheng couldn’t resist, and took another glance, indeed seeing Jiang Li adding a piece of meat into Jiang Yan’s bowl and dumping everything from her own bowl into his.

In an instant, he felt like there was a blockage in his heart.

He had seen for himself how terribly Jiang Li treated Jiang Yan at home, yet even so, once they were on the Deserted Island, she still stood by him unrelentingly, even making him hotpot.

And he, he was only worthy of stir-fried pork with a belt.

He was still her own brother.

It must be Jiang Yan, that guy! It must be because he flatters too much, always speaking ill of him in front of Jiang Li, making him so unwelcome.

He would sooner or later replace him!

Seeing the firm and somewhat cold light in Jiang Cheng’s eyes, Su Yinwan knew she had achieved her goal.

—Go ahead and hate Jiang Li all you want, as long as this seed of hatred continues to take root and sprout, Jiang Li’s downfall won’t be far.

Thinking this, Su Yinwan decided to fuel the fire more, so she broke her bread in half and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

"Xiao Cheng, I saw you didn’t eat much just now, I’m worried you might be hungry, eat my portion too."

Jiang Cheng, still immersed in his jealous feelings, didn’t catch on until Su Yinwan asked again, and then he hurriedly controlled his emotions, looking at Su Yinwan with a surprised and flattered expression.

"How could I? You are already so thin, sister, you should eat it yourself. I’m already full, I really don’t need it."

As he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice and glanced towards Shang Shaojing.

Sure enough, the other’s expression darkened a bit, and he immediately came over and grabbed Su Yinwan’s hand.

"Don’t be so kind; be careful you might end up fostering a thankless wretch."

Su Yinwan felt a little shy, thinking that Shang Shaojing was showing jealousy, but the next second, a notification sound in her Divine Sense made her dumbfounded—

[Ding—Shang Shaojing’s affinity dropped by 2 points, currently at 93!]

...

Jiang Li had deliberately arranged this hotpot meal.

Since Su Yinwan insisted on staying around to annoy her, she didn’t mind annoying her back.

Enjoying delicious food and drinks was just the first step.

The next day, she got up on time before dawn.

Beside her, Shang Shuyue seemed to have a radar installed, instantly jumping out of bed the moment she got out.

"We got up together today, I’m not falling behind at all!"

Jiang Li: "...."

No need for that.

After she and Shang Shuyue ran a few laps around the outside hills, the others also gradually got up, and by then it was only six thirty in the morning.

The least willing among them was Jiang Yan.

But when Jiang Li whispered in his ear, "Shang Shaojing hasn’t woken up yet," his eyes suddenly snapped open.
