Chapter 59

Seeing Bai Lin say this, Liu Hong and the others couldn’t help but glance at this new celebrity.

“That’s some fierce energy!”

Beside him, Ren Qingyu couldn’t help covering his forehead and internally screaming, “Lady, you’re a female star—your image is supposed to be refined!”

When he first worked with her on a drama, Ren Qingyu felt he’d been deceived by her delicate appearance.

Only after spending more time together did he realize she was definitely one of the guys.

Xiao Yi sighed helplessly, “I really can’t decide that. If Miss Bai can convince the production team and the Canadian authorities, then I personally have no issue.”

“But for safety reasons, I personally suggest Miss Bai keep some distance from that dumb bear.”

“There have been incidents of wild bears injuring people in recent years. This big guy only seems so gentle and gets along with me peacefully because he knows full well—he can’t beat me.”

Xiong Zai “...”

“Besides, we should respect animals’ instincts and let them retain their natural wildness. They belong to nature, and this Arctic wilderness is their home.”

“...”

“...”

After hearing this, everyone in the live stream stared at Xiao Yi with strange expressions.

This statement might be fine coming from anyone—but coming from Xiao Yi, it always felt oddly off.

Is this man really the same one who forced Xiong Zai to work for him for ten days?

Bai Lin “...”

Seeing Xiao Yi say this, Bai Lin couldn’t think of anything to reply.

After all, if she said the wrong thing, she’d get tagged by the Wildlife Association.

Then she’d inevitably attract a flood of haters—being a star isn’t easy; every move gets endlessly magnified.

Overall, there’s gain and loss—after all, they also receive boundless affection from countless fans.

She then gathered her thoughts and said, “Xiao Shen is right! I was too abrupt just now, but please, Xiao Shen, treat Xiong Zai well—I really like it.”

At this, Bai Lin emphasized the words “treat well,” making Xiao Yi’s face flush.

Damn it, women really are petty—even celebrity women.

As for Xiao Yi, he didn’t respond at all—he felt he’d already treated that dumb bear well enough.

Let that dumb bear live here for free? Not a chance.

Afterwards, Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu warmly greeted Bei Ye.

After all, they’d be working together for the next twenty days.

As for Xiao Yi and the other nine contestants, after meeting the new guest, they all quietly exited the live stream.

“Bai Lin, Bai Lin, I can’t believe you’re here—this is amazing!”

“Qingyu appearing on this variety show surprises even my three-month-old fan self—but I love my Emperor so much!”

“Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu forever gods—get married right now!”

“Stop playing matchmaker, okay? They themselves admitted they’re siblings!”

“You believe that? On TV they’re even uncle and nephew—though they have no blood relation.”

“I’m so glad to see my Lin on this show!”

“Support Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu’s arrival!”

“Same here! Now that I see my Lin and Ren Qingyu sitting at the main stream’s commentary desk, it doesn’t feel odd at all.”

“Exactly! They fit perfectly there!”

Yang Qinglin “...”

Cai Luo Han “...”

So love really can vanish this fast—turns out fans really are big pork feet!

Xiao Yi, having exited the main live stream, now felt refreshed.

Though he’d wasted the entire morning, Xiao Yi personally felt it was worth it.

At the very least, he now felt he wasn’t a savage.

He hadn’t seen another human in ten days—he’d spent this entire time with these two bears.

The last time he’d seen another person was when Shen Mengsan arrived with the rescue team.

Thinking of it, he even missed Shen Mengsan.

Today, though he’d only chatted briefly via live video, he at least felt human connection again.

“Hei Dan, Gou Dan! Time to get to work!”

The wilderness demands every second—you can’t slack off, not yet anyway.

“Roar (No)”

“Roar (I’m hungry)”

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, both bears roared back.

But both remained lying on the ground, neither making a move to rise.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi grew frustrated and muttered, “Lazy bears.”

Then he shouted, “Whoever moves slowest today gets no food!”

“Roar!”

At that moment, Hei Dan trotted straight up to Xiao Yi.

For everything else, Hei Dan didn’t care—but when it came to food, it was always serious and eager.

“Roar!”

Gou Dan Xiong Zai, seeing his undignified younger brother, let out a disdainful roar—what a disgrace to the bear clan.

“Gou Dan, how did you dig this hole? Can’t you learn from Hei Dan?”

The cabin was now built; Xiao Yi only needed to store enough food to survive winter and claim the ten-million prize.

So he turned his attention to all the rabbits within a ten-li radius—and he wouldn’t overlook Lake Lain as a major resource.

Xiao Yi had chosen to target the rabbits first because he hadn’t forgotten his vow to eliminate every rabbit nearby.

After all, there’s still a saying circulating online:

“On this Arctic wilderness, the top predator is the bear—but above the bear stands the man called Xiao Yi; yet above Xiao Yi... there’s still one rabbit.”

How could Xiao Yi tolerate that?

Though Xiao Yi had decided to kill every rabbit nearby, dead rabbits just weren’t as fresh as live ones.

So he planned to build a large, seamless rabbit pen around the cabin before clearing all rabbits within ten li.

Of course, he didn’t overlook details—wild rabbits can jump about 50–60 centimeters high, so Xiao Yi doubled the height.

He also packed down all the soil within the pen’s boundaries.

Then he laid down a layer of leftover fire bricks—these rabbits were expert diggers.

If they still escaped after all that, he’d admit defeat himself.

As night fell, after the combined efforts of one man and two bears, the entire rabbit pen was completed by afternoon.

Perhaps because Xiao Yi was in a good mood today, building the pen went smoothly.

That night, the man and two bears once again began their live stream featuring food—it had become Xiao Yi’s signature routine.

Viewers with foresight had already ordered takeaway from Tuantuan.
