The Sweet Life of Superstar and His Goddess Wife-Chapter 72 - 0: The fruit is poisonous

"There's no problem with that, it's only right to help each other." Liu Qingqing, indeed a beauty in film history, still had such a radiant smile even in her forties.

Seeing them picking fruit with such excitement, Mu Qiuniang swallowed back the warning that the fruit might be toxic and they should eat less.

Oh well, at worst, she'd make them some detoxification soup later.

Ignorance is bliss indeed—Jiang Nuo, Zhuo Yihang, and Liu Qingqing ate to their heart's content, feeling so happy. It's just odd, how the fruits tasted sweet initially, but left a bitter aftertaste?

"I feel my tongue is numb!" Jiang Nuo said.

"Me too." Zhuo Yihang replied with a bitter face.

"These wild fruits should indeed not be eaten too much, there should be limits to everything." Liu Qingqing remarked thoughtfully.

After they had their fill, Mu Qiuniang also picked another bunch of wild grass.

"Honey, you didn't eat any earlier, I saved these for you." Jiang Nuo specially set aside some big, round, red fruits for Mu Qiuniang.

Mu Qiuniang ate a few silently and stuffed the remaining ones into her backpack.

"Honey, I'm already full, you can have more." Jiang Nuo thought she was saving them for him and hurriedly said.

"I don't like these fruits." Toxic and non-nutritious, what's there to like? If it weren't to avoid trouble, she wouldn't have eaten them. As someone about to become a Golden Core Cultivator, she didn't need to eat anymore.

When the four of them returned, Zhao He, Liu Yujiao, and the others were already getting anxious, worried something might have happened to them.

"If you guys hadn't come back soon, we would have had to call the police to find you." Zhao He said.

"Zhao He, are you sure you can call the police on this island? If so, I support you." Zhuo Yihang joked.

"I was speaking metaphorically." Zhao He shrugged.

"We found some fruits, do you want to try some?" Liu Qingqing had left some behind. Although they hadn't ventured out, as part of a team, she thought it was good to leave some for them.

"Wow?! Qingqing, you're truly a good person!" Liu Yujiao exclaimed with delight, grabbed one, wiped it on her clothes, and stuffed it into her mouth. "Tastes good, sweet, not bitter. What kind of wild fruit is this?"

She assumed it was Liu Qingqing who recognized it.

"I actually don't know, Mu Qiuniang found them. Don't eat too many, they tend to taste a bit bitter if you do." Liu Qingqing shared her experience talk.

Zhao He, Tao Xingni, and Jiang He each took a few as well.

Most of the fruits had already gone into Jiang Nuo, Zhuo Yihang, and Liu Qingqing's stomachs. From such a large tree, not much was left, not enough for four people. Yet, everyone felt a sense of happiness.

Clearly, these wild fruits, which they wouldn't glance at on a regular day, tasted extraordinarily delicious in this situation.

"Sigh... comparisons are odious! A god's wife is not someone ordinary people can compare to!" Liu Yujiao sighed.

"Hmph!" Tao Xingni felt a bit sour inside. Wasn't this saying she couldn't compare to Jiang Nuo's wife?

That woman had neither curves nor an impressive figure, what's so great about her? She just got lucky finding wild fruit. If she went looking, she'd definitely find more than that woman.

Of course, Tao Xingni knew she wasn't very popular, so she didn't voice it out loud.

After a short rest, they set off again, only to discover that they were so close to their destination, arriving in just half an hour.

At this moment, everyone couldn't help but glance at Tao Xingni.

Sigh... if it weren't for this woman delaying them along the way, constantly calling for breaks and complaining of fatigue, they would have arrived before noon.

At the destination, the program team had left four tents for the four celebrity families, but they needed to set them up themselves. Besides that, there were a few pots for cooking, and surprisingly, even fishing rods?!

Zhao He exclaimed, "Are they trying to get us to fish?!"

"Could be." Zhuo Yihang also joined in, picking up a fishing rod. "But I'm more curious about whether we're meant to fish in the sea or in a river?"

"Is there a river nearby?" Jiang Nuo's first reaction was.

"Why don't we go and find out?"

The men decided that once they had set up the tents, they would go and look around.

At midday, everyone hadn't eaten much, and they didn't know how to solve dinner, but if they could find a place to fish, that would be nice. Whether they could catch anything or not, who knows.

Regarding tents, Mu Qiuniang was completely clueless, so she sat by the side watching.

"Hehehe... honey, just wait, I'll set it up soon!" Jiang Nuo was fully confident.

While not a wilderness survival enthusiast, he had previously acted in related films, so he had some knowledge about such tents. After fumbling around for a bit, he figured it out and began setting it up.

Compared to Mu Qiuniang's leisure, the other three star families' wives were not as relaxed, and had to help their husbands. Zhao He because he couldn't do it, and Jiang He because—how could he let his wife sit back comfortably while he worked so hard?!

Out of the three men, Zhuo Yihang the oddball surprisingly knew how to set up a tent, while the other two had to learn from him.

After watching for a while, Mu Qiuniang got bored, took out the pot and snake, and started preparing the snake.

In the footage, holding a fruit knife, Mu Qiuniang was incredibly swift, deftly extracting the snake gallbladder, peeling the snake skin, deboning, and chopping into pieces...

Without water, she still managed to handle it so cleanly?!

Then she even sprinkled some wild grass into it.

Was it really wild grass?!

Anyway, the cameraman couldn't recognize it.

Before the men announced they wanted to search for a river, she somehow seemed to know where to go, fetching a basin of water and gathering some dry twigs, preparing to cook snake soup.

No lighter or matches?

That was no problem for her; she simply found a piece of wood, sharpened one end of a stick, gathered some dry grass, and performed an ancient wood-drilling technique to make fire.

The cameraman wanted to say: "You, a woman, lack the strength, don't waste your energy; wait for your man instead!"

But within a few minutes, smoke appeared (Mu Qiuniang would never admit she secretly used a fire spell to ignite it) ?!

So, by the time Jiang Nuo finished setting up the tent, Mu Qiuniang's snake soup was already on fire, boiling away.

"Honey, what are you cooking?" Jiang Nuo was surprised. Did the program team provide meat?

"Snake." Mu Qiuniang responded.

Jiang Nuo: "..."

Didn't his wife know he was afraid of snakes?

"Do I have to eat it?" Jiang Nuo was somewhat timid.

"Absolutely." Mu Qiuniang uttered two words, taking out the "snake gallbladder" wrapped in herbs and stuffing it into his mouth.

Jiang Nuo didn't want to eat it, reflexively trying to spit it out.

Mu Qiuniang said coldly, "Swallow it."

Jiang Nuo felt like crying. Was his wife trying to poison him?

With great difficulty, he swallowed the snake gallbladder like gulping down a date, hurriedly taking large gulps of water.

Then Zhao He appeared, patting Jiang Nuo on the shoulder, and said knowledgeably: "Brother, if you don't eat it, give it to me. You have no idea, in our place, snakes are considered a great delicacy..."

Jiang Nuo didn't want to listen at all: just because you like it, doesn't mean I do.
