Chapter 1196: Camping in the Mountains


First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly votes~~~

...

Two hours isn't a long time, but it's also quite short. Just after getting the secret bait, Wu Jian's competition time ended.

Although his scores improved rapidly later on, they were only better than other contestants'. There was no way to compare with Chu Yunxuan and Qin Fang...

Qin Fang didn't plan to keep being so high-profile either. After catching over thirty fish, he slowed down and didn't change new bait anymore. He just fished normally, enjoying the pure technical feeling...

In the last part, only seven or eight more fish were caught. Together he had over forty, which was not especially outstanding, but definitely among the top!

"Haha, I'm the champion..."

Chu Yunxuan was thoroughly enjoying herself. Though she didn't care much about the prize money, winning the championship made her extremely happy.

Even though there was suspicion of cheating, fishing competitions are like that. If other contestants had secret bait like Qin Fang and her, they would certainly use it too.

Even though Wu Jian took some of Chu Yunxuan's bait, which made her less fierce later on, her scores still successfully outpaced the other contestants and she won the championship title.

Especially when the organizers found out the champion was a stunning young lady, they were extremely excited, and even someone came to ask Chu Yunxuan to be the image ambassador for their resort...

Of course, there was no way Chu Yunxuan would agree to such a request. She even declined doing any award acceptance speeches.

With Wu Jian's identity, just a simple phone call made the organizers not dare say any more nonsense, unless someone was reckless enough to not care about their job...

The fishing competition was pretty much over. Chu Yunxuan was too lazy to collect the championship prize herself and directly asked the organizers to donate it to a charity.

"Wu Jian, you're the most miserable one; all expenses are yours..."

As soon as the three of them sat down, Chu Yunxuan immediately laughed and teased Wu Jian.

This bet was initiated by Wu Jian, but he ended up being the worst loser, so it's natural for Chu Yunxuan to laugh at him now.

Actually, Wu Jian knew this outcome from the moment he found out about Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan's secret bait... By the time the competition ended, he was already outside the venue crouching in a corner, drawing circles over there, constantly saying Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan were not fair!

"Sure, no problem..."

Wu Jian agreed eagerly with Chu Yunxuan's request, recognizing his loss with dignity!

Originally, he invited Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan to have fun without planning to let them spend money, even though he knew these two were much richer than him.

"By the way, Brother Qin and Sister, what are your plans next? Are you staying at the resort tonight or going camping in the mountains?"

Treating to dinner and such is minor, and no one minds a bit of money. But how to plan the upcoming activities depends on everyone's wishes.

The environment around Qing Mountain Resort is quite nice, with many places to have fun.

There's mountains, there's water...

You can enjoy the rural landscape at the resort or head into the mountains for some camping experience...

"What do you think?"

Qin Fang was indifferent, immediately looking at Chu Yunxuan, waiting for her decision.

"How about... we go camping in the mountains?"

Chu Yunxuan thought for a bit, then asked somewhat uncertainly.

Clearly, she personally favored going into the mountains... After staying too long in the concrete city, occasionally experiencing the natural atmosphere of the mountains would be quite nice.

Especially since Chu Yunxuan had never camped in the mountains before, naturally she was more yearning for it, not to mention having Qin Fang, her lover, accompany her.

"Then I'll accompany you into the mountains..."

Qin Fang smiled, nodded, and agreed. He was indifferent about the location, as he could easily adapt to any environment.

"Wu Jian, what about you? Going into the mountains or staying here?"

Since they had decided their destination, they naturally had to ask Wu Jian too. Although this guy was a third wheel, they couldn't completely ignore his presence.

"Hehe, I better not disturb your time together; I'll stay here... Just spotted a very pretty girl, you know!"

Wu Jian's eyes were sharp, and he immediately said with a smile, not planning to interfere with the world of Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan. As for whether his reason was true, only he knew.

Of course, he couldn't ignore the fierce look from Chu Yunxuan...

He probably knew that if he said he wanted to join them, his fierce cousin would definitely tear him apart and then throw his body in the wilderness...

For the sake of his safety, Wu Jian naturally chose to stay behind to flirt!

After the fishing competition ended, it was already past four o'clock. It was spring, and the sky had gradually darkened.

Generally, it wasn't advised for tourists to enter the mountains at this time...

But that couldn't stop Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan. Qin Fang was skillful and brave, and Chu Yunxuan had a martial arts foundation, unlike ordinary weak women, even professional hikers might not be as strong as them.

They bought new camping equipment from the resort, stocked up on food and water, and packed it all into two large backpacks. Qin Fang easily carried both backpacks and walked hand in hand with Chu Yunxuan towards the mountain.

Even carrying a lot of weight, Qin Fang's steps were still light, as if carrying nothing at all, walking easily. Even on soft ground, Chu Yunxuan's feet slightly sank, but Qin Fang left no footprints.

This was the magic of the Lightfoot Snow Trace skill. To improve proficiency, Qin Fang used Snow Traversing Step every moment.

It seemed like he was stepping on the ground, but he rarely fully touched it, always maintaining a slight gap… just something most couldn't notice!

This resulted in those two ill-intentioned guys following them being perplexed to find only one set of footprints on the ground.

If they weren't sure that only Qin Fang and Chu Yunxuan walked this path, they might have thought they followed the wrong people...

Of course, Qin Fang was unaware of this; he wasn't doing it on purpose, just practicing!

"Why did you think of camping in the mountains?"

Walking along the path, Qin Fang curiously asked Chu Yunxuan.

"To unwind, it's more comfortable outdoors... Plus, I've always wanted to camp in the mountains since I was a child, to sleep in a tent and quietly gaze at the starry sky when the night is silent..."

Chu Yunxuan was no longer that little girl she used to be, but her childhood dream had never come true, leaving her with a bit of regret.

Though she had friends during her years in the United States, she rarely camped outdoors. She had a chance to go with Ron, but he approached her with ulterior motives, always reminding her to focus on work, wasting the opportunity!

"Then we'll choose the place with the best view for camping..."

Qin Fang immediately said happily in response to Chu Yunxuan's request.

He checked the sky; the night should be good, with no clouds now. As the sky darkened, stars began to twinkle at the horizon, indicating a brilliant starlit night...

But to see the best starry sky, hiding in dense forests wasn't suitable; only open areas were best.

"That place over there looks good..."

Qin Fang gazed into the distance and pointed to a towering peak.

"There... it looks like a cliff, too dangerous, let's choose somewhere else!"

Chu Yunxuan glanced, seeing a rare cliff in the mountains, with steep, upright rock walls.

While the view there was the most expansive, it was also slightly dangerous.

On such a cold night, the mountain winds were strong; atop that cliff was even worse. If a strong wind blew, taking both them and the tent away, it would be really dangerous!

"It's fine, let's go there..."

Qin Fang dismissively said, quickly taking Chu Yunxuan's hand and heading for the cliff. If choosing a place, it must be the best; otherwise, their camping mood would be wasted!

Facing Qin Fang's determination, Chu Yunxuan said no more, obediently following him to the cliff, feeling sweet inside.

"In the deep mountains, this is a great spot for murder and robbery..."

A few hundred meters behind them, someone had been following, looking at the darkening sky and dense forest, revealing a sinister smile, clearly very pleased with the environment.

After muttering a simple sentence, surveying the terrain, he quickly darted into the dense woods beside him, like he never appeared at all.

"Are there others besides the targets who entered the mountain?"

The other person curiously muttered, having seen a vague shadow earlier, and couldn't help but think so! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
