This smell is familiar? It’s that dumb bear’s scent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Approaching near the cave, as he stared at the dark entrance, his keen sense of smell delivered the most direct feedback to his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Xiao Yi’s expression changed; his entire body tensed with caution, and he unconsciously set down the baskets, gripping his wooden stick tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excitement from finding the clay the day before, and the clay’s own odor, had caused him to instinctively ignore the bear’s scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, returning here today, the difference between the clay’s smell and the bear’s scent made it immediately obvious to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What bad luck— he had thought he’d never see that dumb bear again, yet today he smelled it again in this very cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, whether lucky or cursed, he could not tell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Xiao Yi’s actions triggered immediate discussion among everyone in his livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi’s livestream, after its initial peak from the official account’s promotion, has gradually seen a decline in viewership and popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this decline is only relative to when his stream reached its highest numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the past two days, his livestream viewership has remained stable; about one million people still stay up all night just watching him sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the numbers slowly rise, fluctuating around four million until he sleeps again, when they begin to drop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the master doing? Why is he dragging his feet? Didn’t he smoke out the cave the day before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Normal! You forgot the master always plays it safe. Mo De Kai En was just eliminated today—how could the master not be cautious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cautious is expected, but Xiao Shen seems off—too cautious, like he’s facing a deadly enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Now that you mention it, I feel the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, is the master encountering another giant predator again? That’s too brutal.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way! He’s just getting clay. Besides, my Ningning didn’t even milk the master today—can’t be this unlucky.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the three hosts in the main livestream also looked puzzled—why had Xiao Yi stopped just before the cave instead of advancing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qinglin, what do you think contestant No. 6 Xiao Yi is doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Luo Han asked Yang Qinglin, having recently become superstitious about Lemon Theory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Yang Qinglin liked Xiao Yi, so he hoped she’d say something good about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, Qingjie, don’t say too much! The master’s heated bed and wooden hut plan is hard enough already.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A ten-year fan just dropped in—please, if you can’t say anything good, say something bad! I’ll switch sides right after.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Support Qingjie praising Xiao Shen a bit—what’s the point watching him build a house? Give us something more thrilling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what’s wrong with you? What did the master ever do to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Support Qingjie saying something bad!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, the worse, the better!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingjie, you’re a positive idol—don’t screw over the master. Say the worst possible things, hope he’s in mortal danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qinglin “… ”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Cai Luo Han’s words, Yang Qinglin immediately frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she couldn’t see through Cai Luo Han’s petty schemes, she never would have risen in the cutthroat entertainment industry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, she felt strong disgust toward his behavior—and toward him personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like him, with only petty cleverness, never last long in entertainment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Qinglin knew silence was the wisest choice now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she said something good, Xiao Yi’s wilderness fans would roast her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she said something bad, new viewers who didn’t know the context would roast her too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, what the hell were these people in the chat trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the comments in the livestream, she couldn’t help but laugh and sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The “poisonous blessing” persona was so frustrating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should’ve collapsed long ago, yet it somehow held strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worse, it had grown more believable, even influencing the mindset of those around her and in the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yang Qinglin was no fool—she smiled and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m still new to the wilderness, so I won’t rashly judge Xiao Yi’s current state—would only invite ridicule.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But isn’t there another wilderness master in our livestream? Bo Ye, can you share your guess?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yang Qinglin pass the topic to Bo Ye, Cai Luo Han felt a pang of disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bo Ye’s translator relayed Yang Qinglin’s words to him; upon hearing them, Bo Ye spoke with absolute certainty:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Based on my instinct, Xiao is facing a formidable enemy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao’s expression and movements were nearly identical to how he looked when he first encountered a lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Bo Ye spoke so confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after Bo Ye finished speaking, Xiao Yi grimaced and spoke directly toward the drone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, our luck might be bad—I smelled that dumb bear’s scent inside the cave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ohhh! I was half-asleep, but now I’m wide awake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, the master and Xiong Zai really are locked in love-hate—what incredible fate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, this is my favorite part of the show—but master, be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! I came here because of Xiong Zai. I thought the master and Xiong Zai would never meet again—looks like fate loves this couple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clearly, Xiong Zai is the master’s lifelong nemesis!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi’s words sent waves through the livestream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought encountering the dumb bear was bad luck, but the audience didn’t agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That dumb bear had amassed countless fans in Xiao Yi’s livestream—half the viewers came just for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they heard Xiao Yi had found him again, everyone erupted in excitement, shouting “Thrilling!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Yang Qinglin in the main livestream stared in shock. She had originally dismissed it, thinking Xiao Yi was just overthinking—how could one person be this unlucky?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had her “poisonous blessing” ability reached this level now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She silently thanked her luck for not falling into Cai Luo Han’s trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, her “poisonous blessing” reputation might have grown even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would’ve thought her lifelong reputation would be ruined by this show?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did the outside world used to say about her? A representative of the new generation’s acting talent, one of the Four Little Fairies, heir to the Best Actress title, one of the rare young actors with both skill and popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now? Yang Qinglin? Oh yeah—the poisonous blessing girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","859d84b2898938a41a76bcb3e151c2cc807d1c806bbef69239683c2866fc650c","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-32","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-30",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
