Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 430: Really No Desires
"Do you think Xu Yi will tame those twenty-something Fierce Beasts?" Ivica suddenly speculated, a wild idea popping into her mind.
"Impossible, even if he can tame Fierce Beasts, it can’t be that easy, I think it’s impossible." Jerry couldn’t accept Xu Yi being so strong, so strong, is he still human?
If he’s really that powerful, Xu Yi should have no trouble completing the 500-day challenge, right?
Then, does the organizer still need to continue the contest? Why not just announce the results?
"Taming is harder than hunting. I’d rather believe Xu Yi and his team might have killed those twenty-something Fierce Beasts than believe he could tame so many of them." Li Kang felt it was impossible, if he were truly that strong, Xu Yi would have tamed all the Fierce Beasts and swept through the jungle.
"Kill them?" Jerry’s eyes widened, then quickly shook his head and said, "Impossible, if they were so strong, they’d have gone after Level 3 Fierce Beasts long ago, not still be pursued by Level 2 Fierce Beasts."
"Anyway, when we encounter them, let’s see if they can join us. If that’s not possible, maybe see if we can make a deal to exchange Fierce Beasts. After all, we have two months left before changing maps." Li Kang thought that regardless of how strong Xu Yi is, being able to tame Fierce Beasts is something invaluable and worth seeking an alliance for.
After chatting a bit, they returned to arrange camping, since they were over a hundred meters apart before.
Xu Yi and his team weren’t aware that they were being thought about; they were all cultivating in the camp.
To be wary of the Level 3 Fierce Beast Black Mink, Xu Yi instructed Su Yan and Cheng Jie to watch over the first and second halves of the night.
The first half of the night was Cheng Jie and Qin Fan, the second half was Xu Yi and Su Yan.
After midnight, Su Yan woke up. She went to bed early so she would have the energy to keep watch through the second half of the night.
Xu Yi was already outside, sitting by the fire.
"Awake?" Xu Yi glanced at Su Yan, then took out some Fierce Beast Meat.
"Yeah, slept quite well." Su Yan sat down next to Xu Yi, it was still quite cold at night, sitting by the fire felt much better.
"That’s good. Want some?" Xu Yi smiled and asked, preparing to grill himself some midnight snack.
"Sure." Su Yan accepted with a smile; she actually liked grilled meat quite a bit. But before, in order to keep her figure, she’d eat very little.
Now, there’s no need to manage her figure, she just can’t gain weight.
Not losing weight is already quite good.
Other teams have members who are losing weight due to not eating enough.
Then Xu Yi grilled some more.
"Xu Yi, are you and Lu Ke lovers now?" Su Yan suddenly asked a question.
"Huh, no, why did you suddenly ask that, Yan?" Xu Yi looked at Su Yan with some confusion, were he and Lu Ke very close? Not really?
"You don’t like her?" Su Yan asked again, because she noticed recently Xu Yi didn’t have the same feeling he had towards her back when they were in the hospital; he wouldn’t secretly follow her with his eyes.
"Not the kind of liking you’re talking about." Xu Yi understood what Su Yan meant by "liking," and indeed, he didn’t have that feeling for Lu Ke now.
"Do you have anyone else you like?" Su Yan asked somewhat persistently.
She knew Xu Yi’s previous answer was quite sincere, not like he was trying to evade her or deceive her.
"No such liking, I’m quite... tranquil now. If you hadn’t brought this up, I wouldn’t have even thought about these things." Xu Yi touched his nose and then continued, "This might be a bit abnormal, considering I’m only 19 years old, I should be more vigorous."
Su Yan paused, not expecting Xu Yi to speak so directly and honestly.
"You’re saying, you have no thoughts at all?" Su Yan testedly asked, feeling she was normal.
"Yes, it’s a bit unusual, right? Since my Spiritual Power awakened, it’s been like this." Xu Yi shrugged, but his expression showed no hint of helplessness, looking quite serene.
"It should be a change in your body’s hormone levels, after all, a lot of our thoughts are driven by hormones." Su Yan replied seriously.
Now she understood why nothing happened between Xu Yi and Lu Ke sharing a tent; it’s because Xu Yi didn’t have any thoughts.
Mind you, now Lu Ke is completely different from three months ago.
Back then, Lu Ke looked like a little girl, but now her height has quickly jumped from one-point-something meters to almost one-seventy.
Her figure has also developed from lean to well-proportioned, curvy, definitely counted as one of the best among females.
Generally speaking, with her looks and figure combined, there’s hardly anyone who can resist.
Yet, Xu Yi is a master of restraint?
"Yeah, but this way it’s pretty good, fewer troubles." Xu Yi said meaningfully, after all, they were still live-streaming.
"Xu Yi can’t... function?"
"Function my foot, men lie. I bet a million, Xu Yi is absolutely fooling Su Yan."
"I also think Xu Yi is lying, look at how he deliberately avoids aphrodisiac foods. If he really couldn’t, he’d be looking for things to replenish himself."
"Why do you think Xu Yi occasionally goes off-camera, huh? Guess for yourselves."
"Today I learned that Xu Yi also bluffs. Men, hah!"
"You guys are all detectives, aren’t you? How do you figure all this out?"
Xu Yi, using his Spiritual Power, observed Su Yan’s expression of ’I see’ and breathed a sigh of relief, then quietly continued grilling Fierce Beast Meat.
No thoughts?
Tranquil?
Ha, isn’t it because of certain reasons?
If all the filming drones disappeared, he wouldn’t mind telling some truths.
"Xu Yi, seems a bit overcooked." Su Yan reminded.
"It should be fine." Xu Yi said somewhat guiltily, then moved the Fierce Beast Meat off the fire, sprinkling some seasoning on it.
"Mm, not bad, if grilled any longer it would be overcooked." Su Yan tasted it and commented.
After finishing their midnight snack, the two fell silent.
Xu Yi and Su Yan both were practicing, though in different ways.
Su Yan controlled her long spear, letting it fly in the air. This practice was like doing push-ups, exercising your muscles, and Telekinesis training works similarly—the more you use it, the stronger it gets, use it more, become stronger.
The two practiced until past three o’clock, when Xu Yi suddenly opened his eyes.
"It’s coming again, let’s prepare for battle, no need to wake the others." Xu Yi said, then six arrows appeared in front of him.
Tonight, Xu Yi intends to take down the Fierce Beast Black Mink.
