The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 70 - 0: Wilderness Survival

"A tent?!" Tao Xingni exclaimed in delight, "That's great, we've got a place to stay tonight."

"Don't get too excited just yet, we still have to find that tent," Zhao He rained on her parade.

Tao Xingni pouted, "I believe our hero will definitely find the tent."

"What if there's only a few, and why would people give it to you to stay in?"

"I'm a girl, why wouldn't they let me stay?"

"I'm saving it for my wife," Zhao He shamelessly grinned at his wife, "Right, honey?"

"Smart move," Liu Yujiao put her hands on her hips, praising him.

"I think our current priority is to find the tent, after all, we have several days to spend on the island," Zhuo Yihang reminded everyone.

"Should we head uphill? Does that mean towards the mountain?" Liu Qingqing pointed at a small hill not far away.

This deserted island was lush with vegetation, and most of the terrain was rolling hills. The beach where they had stopped had a forest entrance opposite it, which seemed to lead towards the mountain.

"It's right there. Look, doesn't that look just like the drawing on the 'Treasure Map'?" Liu Yujiao pointed at the sketch and said.

Everyone looked and found it to be true.

"Let's move out!"

With Jiang Nuo's command, everyone set off.

The mountain didn't look steep, but it was exhausting once they started climbing. Tall trees flanked both sides, and unknown birds and insects called out, making the ground covered in leaves or wild grasses disorienting.

Most annoyingly, for the sake of appearance, Tao Xingni wore a pair of not-so-high-heeled shoes with her pink princess dress. It might be suitable for a stroll in a garden, but it was absolutely inappropriate for a deserted island.

Not long after they started walking, Tao Xingni was exhausted. If it weren't for her waterproof makeup, her face would have been smudged by sweat already: "So tired, I can't move!"

Jiang He, the weakest among the men, was also panting a bit, though he was too proud to say it.

"Huhu... It's pretty tiring. Should we take a break?" Liu Yujiao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said.

"I'm okay. How about you, honey?" Zhao He asked.

Zhuo Yihang, who often exercised, was barely affected by this distance: "Honey, do you want to take a break?"

Being attentive to the ladies, he was quite willing to rest as well.

"Let's ask the team leaders," Liu Qingqing, still rather fine, suggested.

Compared to Zhao He and Liu Yujiao's couple sportswear, Zhuo Yihang and Liu Qingqing's couple outfits, Mu Qiuniang wasn't doing much better than Tao Xingni. She was in a traditional long dress with platform boots, though not the usual white but pinkish-blue this time.

Jiang Nuo was wearing couple outfits too, his being loose clothes and long pants, with shoes that Mu Qiuniang specially modified, very suitable for hiking.

The backpack was on Jiang Nuo's back, with a thermos inside it, while Mu Qiuniang held a fruit knife. Jiang Nuo once tried to let her put it in the backpack, but she refused.

"Honey, do you want to take a break?" Before Jiang Nuo could finish, he noticed he was sweating as well. But his wife wasn't even panting, let alone showing any sweat stains. Compared to everyone else huffing and puffing, she was like taking a leisurely stroll in her backyard.

The moment Jiang Nuo finished speaking, he noticed a sudden chill in his wife's gaze, and the knife in her hand flew straight toward Liu Yujiao, scaring her into a scream.

He himself was also startled.

The fruit knife barely grazed Liu Yujiao's scalp, embedding itself in the tree behind her.

The cameraman quickly turned the camera, only to discover a snake as thick as an arm behind Liu Yujiao! At this moment, it had already been pinned to the tree at its weak point by the fruit knife.

The cameraman took a sharp intake of breath.

If it had bitten, even if Liu Yujiao didn't die on the spot, being so far from the nearest hospital, she might have died on the way.

"Wh-what's going on?!" Liu Yujiao froze there, not daring to move at all.

"Honey, it's okay, it's okay..." Zhao He, also wanting to ask what happened, turned around and naturally saw that terrifying snake, swallowing his words of reproach for Jiang Nuo's wife. Instead, he hugged his wife tightly in relief.

Damn!

There are actually venomous snakes on this island?!

This is life-threatening, it's so thick, it's terrifying!

Especially, Jiang Nuo's wife was so scary, clearly she saved someone, but the way she did it...

He thought Jiang Nuo's wife was trying to kill his wife.

Tao Xingni was a bit dumbfounded, "Mu Qiuniang, what are you doing?! You almost killed someone, did you know that?!" Because of her position, she hadn't seen the snake.

Jiang He gave Mu Qiuniang a slightly reproachful look, but since it wasn't his business, he didn't say anything.

Zhuo Yihang and Liu Qingqing had seen the snake, and goosebumps broke out all over them. They covered their mouths, suppressing their screams. If Liu Yujiao got scared again, she might just lose it!

Zhao He, knowing full well his wife's fear of snakes, covered her eyes, "You almost stepped in dog poop. Don't move, I'll help you over."

Completely clueless about what had happened, Liu Yujiao moved along with her husband's guidance, "No way, am I that unlucky? Even on a deserted island, I could still step in dog poop?"

Talk about bad luck!

Liu Qingqing gave her a sympathetic glance.

In contrast to everyone else's panic, Jiang Nuo remained relatively calm, "Honey, you scared me!"

"I'll make it up to you later," Mu Qiuniang calmly walked over, pulled the fruit knife out, and took the thick snake down.

"Honey, throw it away, that's a venomous snake!" Jiang Nuo hurried over to make her discard it.

"A snake?! Where?!" Liu Yujiao jumped in fright. When she saw the snake in Mu Qiuniang's hand, she hid behind her husband, "Ah! Such a big snake..."

"You're lucky you weren't bitten, you must really thank Sister-in-law Jiang; she saved you," Zhao He said, still shaken.

Mu Qiuniang certainly wasn't going to throw away the snake. As far as she was concerned, this large snake was perfect for soup that night. She said, "This is a delicacy."

"A deli... delicacy?!" Recalling her saying she'd make it up to him, Jiang Nuo shivered involuntarily, "You wouldn't want me to eat that, would you?"

"Snake soup is very nourishing," Mu Qiuniang didn't deny it.

Jiang Nuo's mouth twitched, "Honey, that's a venomous snake."

"No worries, I know how to remove the poison."

"..." But he didn't want to eat it.

...

Jiang Nuo's refusal was completely ignored by Mu Qiuniang, who directly took his backpack and stuffed the snake inside.

Carrying a snake on your back... Jiang Nuo quickly protested, "Honey, maybe we shouldn't keep the snake? Having it on my back makes me uneasy."

"It's already dead."

"I'm still scared."

Mu Qiu considered for a moment, "I'll carry it." After tasting the delicious snake soup that night, he wouldn't be afraid anymore.

If Jiang Nuo had known that his "fear" only reinforced someone else's decision, he would surely have regretted it.
