A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A (GL) - Chapter 13
Li Yingxue’s struggles gradually lessened.
After a while, when she no longer felt any mosquito bites, she stopped moving.
Fu Man lay on her back, closing her eyes. Her hand loosened, resting on Li Yingxue’s palm, lightly grasping her thumb.
And Li Yingxue didn’t pull her hand away.
Although Li Yingxue had her eyes closed as well, she was still suspicious, suspecting that it had just been a coincidence, and planned to wait a little longer.
But this wait lasted until dawn.
Tang Youyi and Di You woke up one after the other, checking their hands and necks while complaining, “There were so many mosquitoes last night, they bit me all over my hands, neck, and face…”
Tang Youyi also scratched her neck, her face full of sleepiness: “There were indeed a lot, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains.”
After saying that, Tang Youyi looked at Li Yingxue: “Captain, how did you sleep last night?”
Li Yingxue looked at her own hand, which didn’t have as many big bumps as the others, and glanced at the position beside her, only to find that Fu Man was gone.
“I’m fine, I wasn’t bitten much.”
Li Yingxue recalled the feeling of her hand being held last night, and the next second, her expression turned slightly cold, feeling disgusted with herself for accepting Fu Man’s favor last night.
Tang Youyi smiled and said, “I envy the captain’s physique.”
Di You suddenly exclaimed, “Where did they go?!”
Tang Youyi and Li Yingxue looked over and realized she was referring to Chu Xingchun’s team next door. There was only an extinguished campfire left, and everyone had disappeared early in the morning.
Di You looked around and found Fu Man coming back from outside, her hair still wet, and couldn’t help but ask, “Sister Fu Man, where have you been?”
Fu Man walked over to them, glancing at the seated Li Yingxue, “I went for a bath.”
She casually replied to them: “The team next door went out to do their mission early in the morning.”
Di You was not shocked that the team next door had secretly gotten up early to be productive, but was surprised: “Can you even take a bath in this broken place?”
Fu Man pointed in a direction: “Go that way, there’s an independent pool in the cave, it’s very deep, about a hundred meters deep, connected to the sea, I took a bath there.”
As soon as Fu Man finished speaking, everyone’s eyes widened.
Even Li Yingxue looked at her without a change in expression.
“What’s wrong? The water is very clear, there’s no impurities, if you want to—”
Di You looked Fu Man up and down with incredulous eyes, interrupting her: “Aren’t you scared? Sister Fu Man, such a deep pool, what if there are monsters… I’m going to have a deep-sea phobia.”
Just by saying it, Di You’s goosebumps were all over the place.
“There are no monsters.” Fu Man explained seriously.
It took Tang Youyi a while to accept this picture: “How do you know?”
Fu Man wiped her hair: “I dived down to take a look, I originally wanted to see if there were any fish at the bottom, and catch a few for you to eat, but I didn’t see any even when I was almost at the bottom.”
She just took a bath and came up.
“Dive, dive to the bottom?” Tang Youyi stammered for a while, instinctively disbelieving, if it was said that she took a bath, it could be believed, but a hundred meters deep without professional equipment, and diving to the bottom, this was simply impossible.
“Fu Man, you’re exaggerating, it’s almost impossible for ordinary people to dive to the bottom without professional equipment.”
Di You also reacted: “Yes, Sister Fu Man, this is really impossible.”
Fu Man didn’t seem to care about the doubts, humans always instinctively doubt things beyond their cognition, “It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not, but I did dive to the bottom.”
“Then why don’t you just prove it to everyone.”
Suddenly, a male voice cut in, everyone looked over and found that it was someone from Chu Xingchun’s team who had returned, but only Chu Xingchun and Chai Qiuyan.
At the same time, the director’s voice was transmitted to everyone’s ears through the microphone, “Chu Xingchun’s team found wild yam food, and has the opportunity to draw a rookie gift pack once.”
Not long after, the director suddenly announced again: “Chu Xingchun’s team found a river, completed the task, and once again has the opportunity to draw a rookie gift pack.”
It seems that the other two members who hadn’t returned had found the river.
These two consecutive announcements made the members of Chu Xingchun’s team suddenly look proud. Chu Xingchun took off his jacket and tied it into a bag, and the bag was filled with wild yams.
Returning to their camp with a smug demeanor in front of Li Yingxue’s team, they disdainfully glanced at them as they passed by.
Chu Xingchun placed the yam next to the extinguished fire pit, but his gaze was fixed directly on Fu Man across from him. “Fu Man, we just heard you say you can dive to the bottom of the sea, but no one believes it. Why don’t you prove it to everyone?”
Fu Man glanced at the wild yam at his feet, lifted her eyelids slightly to look at him, and said, “Why should I prove anything to you?”
Chu Xingchun sneered, “Didn’t you say you could dive to the bottom of the sea? Or are you saying you were lying?”
He had been displeased with this woman named Fu Man since early morning. Last night, he heard that she could raise snakes and even understood their language. She relied on snakes to find shortcuts to caves and freshwater. He found this utterly disgraceful; in the end, wasn’t she just relying on external things?
They found a cave and fresh water thanks to external resources, and yet they had the audacity to take away their metal basin.
What infuriated him was that last night he found out that it was Fu Man’s actions that had won over a lot of the audience, earning her their praise, while his team, Chu Xingchun, had been turned into a joke, with a bunch of people online cursing him as incompetent and useless.
If it weren’t for Fu Man, Li Yingxue’s group would probably be even worse off than them.
Fu Man leisurely glanced over her team members, then casually swept her gaze over Li Yingxue’s cold expression and asked, “Are you hungry?”
Di You rubbed her stomach and said, “Of course I’m hungry, there’s no breakfast.”
The roasted chicken I ate last night has already been digested.
Fu Man asked Li Yingxue, “Captain, what about you?”
Li Yingxue couldn’t understand her. After getting dressed in a complete set of dark green attire, she looked exceptionally aloof. “Get ready to go out.”
They are participating in a wilderness survival variety show, not a game where three-year-olds make bets. You get what you pay for.
Fu Man stood up and looked at Chu Xingchun across from her.
“Do you want me to prove whether I can dive to the bottom of the sea?”
“Okay.”
“If I can dive down, your team can give us the wild yam; we haven’t had breakfast yet.”
“What?” Chu Xingchun doubted he had heard correctly, “Are you serious?”
Fu Man raised an eyebrow: “Of course, it just depends on whether you’re willing.”
“Fu Man, you shouldn’t go too far. This is the yam we just dug up!” Chai Qiuyan stood up, filled with righteous indignation.
The metal basin that was forcibly exchanged last night is still vivid in their minds.
It’s only the second day, and they’ve already set their sights on the yam that was just dug up and hasn’t even been tasted yet.
Don’t go too far!
Fu Man casually glanced over Chu Xingchun, “Dare you?”
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, with not only the two teams of people staring at the two individuals, but even the director team holding their breath. They had never encountered such an unexpected situation before.
However, such conflicts are what the audience loves to see the most.
Sure enough, the viewers in the live broadcast went wild, and many people suddenly flooded in to watch the excitement.
[Diving into the sea? Am I crazy or is Fu Man crazy? How could I agree to such a brainless request from Chu Xingchun?]
[Did she get bitten by a snake yesterday? Is she brain poisoned?]
[It’s staged, right? This is just for the show, right???]
[Will it really not cost any lives?]
[Chu Xingchun is really ruthless. You can tell right away what he’s planning. Asking someone to dive into the sea without professional equipment? Who the hell can do that?]
There are also quite a few people mocking and ridiculing Fu Man for being arrogant and boastful.
[What did Chu Xingchun do? Didn’t Fu Man boast about being able to dive to the bottom of the sea? Why is it okay for her to show off but not for others to call her out?]
[666 forcing oneself into a dead end, I’ve never seen anything like it before]
[Not to mention, who would believe that someone could dive directly to a depth of a hundred meters without any professional equipment, barehanded?]
[Please, if you’re going to lie, at least draft it out. If you can’t back it up later, I swear I’ll kick you out of the house.]
[Originally, I had a bit of a good impression of Fu Man, but now it’s really hard to say, the most annoying thing is pretentiousness.]
Tang Youyi and Di You were also shocked into silence by Fu Man’s actions, quickly stepping forward to stop her: “Fu Man, this is too much, don’t do this…”
“Yeah, Sister Fu Man, we were just joking with you. Don’t joke about your life.”
Fu Man didn’t really want to hear anyone contradicting her at this moment; what she wanted to do was none of others’ business.
But Fu Man still looked at Li Yingxue, wanting to know her opinion.
Li Yingxue looked at her as if she were an idiot, but being the captain, she could only give her a way out and coldly reprimand, “Can you stop making a scene?”
However, this statement not only didn’t work, but instead made Fu Man think that she was also doubting herself.
“You don’t believe me either?”
Li Yingxue rubbed her forehead in frustration.
