Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 74: Chapter 72: Return to Camp

Huo Sining bent down, picked up the rabbit that weighed at least six or seven jin, and took a quick glance. There were no bleeding holes from snake bites on the body of the rabbit.

Apart from its sharp teeth, a python’s coiling strength is formidable. It is said that when a python exerts its full strength, it can strangle a cheetah to death. It seems this rabbit was suffocated by the python’s coils.

Huo Sining had been worried that the snake would have bitten into the rabbit, making the meat poisonous, and she wouldn’t dare to eat it even if it were offered to her. But now that she saw the rabbit was unscathed, her previous concerns were gone.

She smiled and tossed the dead rabbit to Liu Yan and the others, “Skin this rabbit and roast it. Now we’ve got both meat and vegetables.”

Liu Yan happily went off to the side to prepare the rabbit, while the others’ eyes began to shine as they looked at Huo Sining, their gaze filled with envy and admiration.

For the boys, taming a wild giant python and making it hunt for them was an incredibly awe-inspiring and unbelievable feat.

If they had previously seen Huo Sining simply as a female classmate with good athletic abilities, she had now truly become a goddess-like figure, unshakeable in her status, and they admired her deeply.

Even Instructor Wu, who was hiding in the bushes, was dumbfounded. He rubbed his eyes, hardly believing what he was seeing.

Holy shit, this is unscientific! What the hell did I just see? A giant python delivering its prey? Is this freaky incident for real, not a joke?!

The aroma of the roasted rabbit tantalized Wu Shengyu’s taste buds as he squatted in the bushes, unconsciously swallowing his saliva.

If Chen Deping were here, Wu Shengyu would definitely grab him and bawl his eyes out.

Captain Chen, are you sure these students came here for a wilderness camp to endure hardships?

First live fish and clams, now wild rabbit and sweet potatoes, they haven’t tasted any hardships, and they even have a giant python as their bodyguard. This isn’t a survival training; they’re practically on a day trip!

Over there, Huo Sining and the others were sitting around the fire, each of them eyeing the wild rabbit intently.

“Captain, is it not roasted yet?” a few boys, drooling with anticipation, couldn’t wait to ask.

Huo Sining smiled and looked towards the bushes, her lips curving into a slight smile, “Instructor Wu, why don’t you come over and try some?”

“Uh…”

Liu Yan and the others gave Huo Sining a puzzled look, following her gaze towards the bushes.

The deep parts of the underbrush were tranquil, seemingly without anything out of the ordinary.

Everyone looked at Huo Sining with doubt, unsure of the meaning behind her words.

Huo Sining didn’t explain, but casually fished out a well-roasted, tender sweet potato from the fire and tossed it towards the bushes.

Wu Shengyu, being directly called out by Huo Sining, stiffened his body, lying motionless in the bushes, yet his nerves were tensed every moment.

Just then, a hot sweet potato flew straight towards him.

He reflexively stretched out his hand to catch the sweet potato.

Not good!

With that movement, he realized his mistake.

Sure enough, several pairs of eyes turned towards his location.@@novelbin@@

Holding the sweet potato in his hand, Wu Shengyu didn’t know whether to throw it away or eat it, and ended up frozen on the spot.

“Pfft—”

Seeing their instructor sitting dumbfounded in the bushes with a naive expression, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle.

“`

Realizing his whereabouts had been exposed, Wu Shengyu didn’t feel embarrassed at all and simply stood up from the bushes with an air of nonchalance.

Without a word, he walked over and sat down next to the fire, patted the dirt off the sweet potato in his hand, and started peeling and eating it right away.

Unexpectedly, this roasted sweet potato tasted pretty good!

After just one bite, Wu Shengyu’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

He had been bustling around these youngsters for seven or eight hours, his stomach had flattened with hunger, and of course, there was no room for politeness when food was present.

He quickly finished the sweet potato in his hand, then picked up a stick to search through the fire for more.

Wu Shengyu didn’t stand on ceremony at all, eating rapidly, and soon he had finished the sweet potato in his hand, then he picked up a stick to search through the fire for more.

“Damn! Instructor, you’re really not being polite!”

Everyone wasn’t foolish, realizing that the food was being snatched away, and suddenly a strong sense of crisis arose.

Huo Sining was the first to push two sweet potatoes and a bird egg toward herself and Luo Jinzhi, the others’ hands were not slow either, and the roasted sweet potatoes and bird eggs in the fire were quickly scrambled for and gone.

After having another sweet potato and bird egg, Wu Shengyu casually turned his head and stared, eyes gleaming, at the roasted rabbit meat in Huo Sining’s hands.

Who would have thought the formidable Instructor Wu would have such a side; his food-loving nature was even more pronounced than theirs.

The corners of Huo Sining’s mouth twitched slightly, helpless since she truly had no suitable tool at hand to cut the rabbit meat.

Perhaps noticing Huo Sining’s difficulty, Wu Shengyu directly extended his hand, took the rabbit meat from her, and pulled out a Swiss Army Knife from his waist.

Wu Shengyu had always carried this Swiss Army Knife with him, it was usually used to subdue criminals, but now it was being used to slice rabbit meat.

His knife skills were a bit rusty, but the blade was sharp, and the slicing of the rabbit meat was smooth, and soon the whole rabbit had been evenly cut into several pieces.

Before anyone could react, Wu Shengyu had already pinched a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

“Here we go again!”

Strike first to gain the advantage, those who acted later suffered the loss. The ten people who came to their senses didn’t care about being polite anymore, as their greedy hands all reached out for the rabbit meat.

In contrast to the lively scene with Huo Sining’s group, Zhao Jun and his party were having a rather miserable time.

They had wandered in the woods for a long time but hadn’t found the correct exit, watching time slowly pass while still going in circles in the same place.

Tired and hungry, they could only find wild fruits to curb their hunger in the mountains; if they knew about the feast Huo Sining’s group was having, they would be driven mad.

Around four in the afternoon, with the sun slowly setting in the west, Huo Sining and the others set off to return to the training camp.

Crossing the mountain took just over an hour, and upon arriving at the entrance of the training camp, Chen Deping greeted Huo Sining with a satisfied smile.

Chen Deping had already learned of Huo Sining’s performance yesterday from Wu Shengyu through a communicator and was pleasantly surprised by the girl’s keen observation skills and her calm, composed way of handling things.

Of course, what interested Chen Deping the most were the girl’s unconventional skills.

Catching fish in deep water was one thing, but being able to handle a wild python was not something ordinary people could do.

The more he learned about the girl, the more strongly Chen Deping felt about recruiting her to his command.

He had made up his mind that no matter what, once the military training was over, he definitely had to make a trip to the Huang Family in person, though he was well aware that being a mediator was not an easy task.
