Chapter 158: The Food Reserve

“What do you mean by that?”
Li Yan’s mind failed to process it for the moment, but he felt that he was being despised by Bai Xi hearing this, so his tone was a little stiff.
Bai Xi’s eyes reddened again. She turned her face away and rubbed the corner of her eyes. “You came to me for my own good, so I can’t not tell you when I know you’re going to suffer.”
Bai Xi looked as if she had been wronged. Li Yan quickly comforted her. “Xixi, don’t cry. What’s wrong?
“Yan Ruo and the others have actually long wanted to eliminate you. It’s extremely dangerous for you to remain in the team. There’s still food to eat, and I’ve been speaking up for you, so you’re still here.” Bai Xi lowered her eyes. “But there’s not much food left now. Yesterday, I accidentally heard them say that you’re…”
Li Yan was anxious. “I’m what?”
“Food reserve.”
The rules of the elimination round stated that if one defeated an enemy, they would be able to obtain six bags of food and six bottles of water.
It was a rather generous reward.
Li Yan was very angry.
He gave his watch to Bai Xi and let her know Bai Lin’s location. He also told Bai Xi the locations in Fan Fengs treasure map.
He thought that by doing so, he was already very sincere. Along the way, Yan Ruo was indifferent to him, so he thought that he had integrated into this team.
He treated them as his teammates, but his teammates treated him as their food reserve!
This was too much!
Bai Xi snickered. Li Yan was a fool. No matter what she said, he would believe her.
“Li Yan-gege, you should leave before Yan-ge and the others return.” Bai Xi pushed Li Yan, but he did not move.
Li Yan was angry, but he was more inclined to stay with Bai Xi than to return to Bai Lin’s team.
Eliminating him would only take an instant. If his elimination could give Bai Xi an advantage, then he was willing.
Moreover, he had already made an enemy of Fan Feng. Bai Lin was also a cruel and merciless woman. He did not know how much torture he would have to suffer when he returned.
Li Yan grabbed Bai Xi’s hand. “Xixi, I understand your intention, but I’ve decided to stay here.” His eyes were filled with affection. “I want to protect you. It doesn’t matter even if I’m eliminated.”
Bai Xi’s expression was almost twisted by disgust. She forced a smile and said, “Thank you, but you have more important things to do. I know you’re on my side. If you go back to Bai Lin’s place, not only will it ensure your safety, but we can also work in collusion.”
Li Yan’s eyes brightened, but he said dejectedly, “But I injured Fan Feng. Bai
Lin and the others won’t believe me.”
Bai Xi was too lazy to deal with this idiot. Her tone was also a bit perfunctory and impatient. “Just say that you’re not doing well here. You escaped and came back, and you regret your previous decision. Then apologize to Fan Feng more and be more proactive on the way. Jiejie and the others will definitely be moved by you.”
“But…” Li Yan started.
“That’s it, Li Yan-gege. Take this bottle of water and drink it on the way. Hurry up and go.”
Bai Xi stuffed the remaining water that Li Yan had just drunk into his bag. It was only half a bottle. Then, she patted his shoulder and smiled brightly.
‘Good luck, I’ll wait for you at the ruins.”
Seeing such a happy Bai Xi, Li Yan’s brain stopped working. He waved back at her in a daze. “Okay!”
[Silly Li Yan, you’ve been completely bewitched.]
[The team’s never said that Li Yan’s food reserve. It was completely made up by
Bai Xi. She sees that Li Yan’s useless, so she cheated him of all his food and then kicked him away.]
[And Li Yan looks like he’s willing to do it. He doesn’t even feel like he’s been deceived at all.]
[Bai Xi’s way of coaxing people into working for her… Even I feel a little scared.]
[What’s so scary about it? Don’t you see that only a fool like Li Yan is fooled?]
[His mother’s in a research institute, his father’s a businessman, and his two brothers have outstanding performances in arts and academics. Why’s he the only one who’s an idiot? Genetic mutation?]
[Adopted? Or did they take the wrong baby home when he was born?]
[I suggest that Fang Rong takes him for a paternity test after the trip.]
Li Yan did not know that he had already been removed from his ancestral line because of his idiocy in the eyes of the netizens. He was still happily rushing over to Bai Lin’s place.
His mind was filled with schemes, thinking about how to stir up sh*t in Bai Lin’s team and make them reach the ruins slower than Bai Xi.
However, the moment he saw Bai Lin, he was kicked away before he could even speak.
Bai Lin stepped on Li Yan’s back and turned to Fan Feng with a smile. “Look, our food reserve is back.”
Fan Feng was very cooperative. He took out the knife that was hot from the sun and gently pressed it against Li Yan’s face. Li Yan was so scared that he could not move.
Fan Feng grinned. “Since you’re back, don’t just sit around. Find a pot and cook yourself.”
Li Yan was speechless. His hair stood on end.
Why was he still a food reserve in his own team?
