I’ll pay big money!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Same here, same here—if you edit it and post it on Yinfu, you’ll definitely gain followers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Xiao Shen is ridiculously strong! Who among normal humans would dare face a lone wolf head-on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you looking down on me, Bei Ye? Grabbing a crocodile bare-handed isn’t tougher than what the god just did?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah, nonsense—I’ve seen Bei Ye’s wilderness videos! He used a stick too, and moved cautiously. How does that compare to my Xiao Shen charging straight at the wolf?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s ‘facing head-on’? Just call him a reckless fool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why argue? Bei Ye is fierce, my Xiao Shen is fierce too—neither of their moves are things we can replicate or even attempt. What right do we have to judge them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true—I like Bei Ye, I like Xiao Shen too. Bei Ye’s the land wild king, my Xiao Shen’s the ice wilderness king.

Not a big deal—he did this often.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Yang Qinglin, she immediately pulled out her phone and quietly searched for footage of Xiao Yi killing the wolf; she was certain someone had already edited it into a video.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since someone previously edited the video of Xiao Yi’s battle with Xiong Zai and it went viral,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yi’s livestream had always hosted a steady group of video VCs, all waiting for his next explosive moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Xiao Yi’s current explosion in popularity stemmed from Xiong Zai, Yinfu’s official promotion, his own strength, and especially the contribution of these video VCs, who truly pushed him beyond the niche.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she saw the lone wolf lunging back, Yang Qinglin’s heart tightened—she could feel the tension even through the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, when she saw Xiao Yi’s stick send the wolf flying backward, her heart jolted again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeniably, wild men carried a uniquely captivating aura; this raw display of power stirred the latent madness within human blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In livestream #5, Wu En also learned of Xiao Yi’s wolf-killing through the chat, and was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu En had always believed Xiao Yi was merely a product of online hype.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The production team needed a celebrity figure, so they pushed Xiao Yi forward for effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after this, Wu En genuinely felt a flicker of admiration for Xiao Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who could face a lone wolf head-on—and kill it—deserved at least the title of warrior in Wu En’s eyes; warriors were respected in his grassland homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to last night’s late hours, Xiao Yi didn’t wake until around ten a.m. today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eight straight days in the wilderness, Xiao Yi now had a scruffy beard and looked nothing like the clean-cut man he’d been when he first arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the first thing Xiao Yi did upon waking today was use a knife to shave his beard; though he accidentally cut his skin a little, he didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to that, he cared more about his appearance—he always considered himself an idol type; he couldn’t look like a savage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After washing up, Xiao Yi left his shelter; today’s mood felt different—the sunlight seemed brighter than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mostly because the gloom from yesterday had been vented on the lone wolf—poor thing, it became the scapegoat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolf “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, Xiao Yi planned to stick to his schedule: first, finish firing all the unfinished clay bricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to his calculations, he could finish them by noon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he planned to select a foundation site and begin building the kang, then construct his wooden house around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his work pace, he could finish the kang in half a day; then he’d just wait for the sun to dry it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiao Yi stepped outside, yawning, his eyes landed on the lone wolf’s corpse lying there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolf’s face was grotesque, its body stiffly stretched out; seeing this, Xiao Yi exhaled quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d expected that his full-force strike last night would either disfigure the wolf or deform its body entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But actually seeing it, he still felt an indescribable emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he silently warned himself: his current self was vastly different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he returned to the neon-lit city, he must always control his strength—no matter the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because then, if he ever overdid it again, it wouldn’t just be about one wolf—it might mean he’d have a free cafeteria problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though livestream viewers had been debating Xiao Yi and the wolf, when they actually saw the wolf’s unrecognizable head, everyone couldn’t help but gasp.\u003C\u002Fp>",1107,"2026-06-20T08:19:46.963Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f1a201f6ab2f6b487a23d1ecc46f4488d0db2f90fbc1ebcfd22a368414a6e663","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-41","starting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-chapter-39",366,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-a-solitary-life-in-the-wilds-cover.jpg"]
