In the eyes of the enemy, Xiao Feng might be hideous, mercurial, and even extremely cruel and violent.
But to those around him, he is someone who doesn't easily get angry, is kind to everyone, and occasionally a bit adorable.
Of course, Zhao Guo'an and Lin Jiaxuan are exceptions to this impression.
It's precisely because of this ingrained perception that when Xiao Feng targeted Su Yuzhuo, no one dared to speak, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.
Fujiwara Keiaki frowned.
As a dutiful old steward, he naturally had no reason to just watch his young lady being scolded.
However, before he could take any action, Su Yuzhuo took a few steps forward, stood opposite Xiao Feng, and softly said, "I won't make excuses or deny it; this is my mistake, I admit it.
Of course, a few words alone can't salvage the losses already incurred.
So, in the upcoming resource distribution, my share can be reduced to the minimum."
After saying this, she quietly looked at Xiao Feng, appearing ready to take any criticism without complaint.
Xiao Feng immediately lost his temper; with things said to this extent, continuing to press on would seem petty of him.
When most people make a mistake, they instinctively try to shift the blame or lower their head and say nothing.
But Su Yuzhuo was different from most people; she first took responsibility and then suggested a remedy, making it embarrassing for others to continue pressing her.
"What's in the bag?" Xiao Feng asked.
"Two sets of clothes, toilet paper, mouthwash, some chocolate, and a few batteries," Su Yuzhuo replied.
"So, does that mean if you need to go later, you'll have to use your hand or wash with water?" Zhao Guo'an, holding in his need to relieve himself, said, wide-eyed.
He knew that among the group, people were responsible for carrying different supplies; aside from clothes, some brought food, some drinks.
And Su Yuzhuo was obviously responsible for bringing these daily necessities.
Xiao Feng also understood this, although Zhao Guo'an's words were a bit gross, it was a real issue.
At this point, the little girl spoke up, "It's not that serious, okay? You can't put all your eggs in one basket; as someone smart like me wouldn't overlook this simple principle, right?"
Xiao Feng chuckled, "So you're saying you have backups?"
"Of course!" The little girl proudly shook her head, "But, Old Zhao just said he likes using his hand and washing with water, so obviously, he won't be needing them."
"Fine, fine, can't I just keep my mouth shut, missy? Hurry up and give me some paper, I can't hold it much longer," Zhao Guo'an said hurriedly.
"Missy? Do I look that old to you?" The little girl grumbled.
Zhao Guo'an impatiently responded, "Little ancestor, pretty girl, I'll call you whatever you want, just give me some paper quickly."
"You said it yourself, so from now on you'll have to call me, the Milky Way Galaxy's number one, super invincible beautiful girl and team chief procurement officer and resource coordinator, Mu Shihan Princess," the little girl seriously said.
Zhao Guo'an nodded without hesitation, "Okay, okay, whatever you say, just give me the paper first."
"You have to say it first," the little girl emphasized, "and not a word wrong."
Zhao Guo'an, almost at the breaking point, felt this demand was too unreasonable.
Xiao Feng then incited him, "Old Zhao, have some backbone, it's just a few sheets of toilet paper, what's the worst that could happen without it? At worst, go in your pants!
If you're a man, don't chicken out!
If you're a man, charge forward!"
"Get lost, get lost, get lost!" Zhao Guo'an shoved Xiao Feng aside, it really was easy for him to talk without standing in his shoes.
How did a shamefully awkward topic become so hyped up by this guy?
The others were also shocked and speechless, as Xiao Feng's impassioned speech, like a pre-battle rally, left them baffled!
Zhao Guo'an looked at the little girl and said, "Listen, the Milky Way Galaxy's number one, super invincible beautiful girl... what comes after that?"
"Hmph!" The little girl turned her head to the side, in a haughty manner that showed she wouldn't give the paper without sincerity.
At this moment, Zhao Guo'an was sweating from anxiety, feeling a mounting force in the lower half of his body that was about to burst, with signs of erupting at any moment.
"Pfft... pfft pfft pfft..."
A familiar sound filled the air.
Everyone looked at Zhao Guo'an, who was blushing deeply, as if wanting to find a hole to hide in.
"Here, here, take it quick," the little girl finally fetched a roll of toilet paper from her bag and tossed it to Zhao Guo'an.
Jokes aside, in such a place, really letting Old Zhao mess his pants would indeed be troublesome.
Moreover, Zhao Guo'an had already endured enough hardships on this journey, and the little girl was somewhat compassionate towards him.
Xiao Feng reminded, "Better be careful, ever watched a thriller? Usually, when someone leaves the group alone, something's bound to happen."
"..." Zhao Guo'an paused his hurried steps.
But soon, the overwhelming sensation came again.
Prompted by this feeling, Zhao Guo'an felt he had to dash forward even if there were mountains of knives and seas of flames ahead.
It wasn't a matter of willpower.
Strong willpower can help you through adversity, but it can't help hold in bodily urges.
He turned a corner and vanished from sight while Xiao Feng told everyone to resume resting where they were.
But clearly, no one could sleep, all of them were pondering the matter of beasts ahead.
Just then, a faint foul smell wafted through the air.
Xiao Feng glanced in the direction Zhao Guo'an had left, looking grim, "Could this guy really have not gone far before just dropping his pants and taking care of it right there?"
This conjecture was not impossible since how far Zhao Guo'an could run wasn't determined by his will but by how long he could hold it.
"Wait, something's moving," Su Yuzhuo said seriously.
Everyone heard the seriousness in her voice, held their breath, and began to pay attention to the surrounding sounds.
"Rustle... rustle..."
A faint sound emerged.
Like someone sweeping the ground, but more like something crawling across it.
Oh, hell!
Crawling!
As if previously agreed upon, Xiao Feng and the others turned on their flashlights, shining them toward the edge of the bridge, and the scene they saw made them gasp.
Only to see dozens of snakes crawling towards them, their initially leisurely pace suddenly accelerated upon seeing the light.
This situation resembled a thief caught in the act, viciously flaring back at the homeowner with a knife after being discovered.
"We can't stay here, move forward!" Xiao Feng decisively ordered.
Meanwhile, he felt a bit regretful.
He should've thought of it earlier, if the Hornbill could knock down a hanging backpack, couldn't it also let these snakes climb up and attack them?
Of course, the Hornbill itself probably didn't have that level of intellect, but considering its vengeful nature, purposely allowing these snakes to climb up to assault Xiao Feng and the others was plausible.
