After putting down the pots and pans, Liu Ruoling picked up her entrenching tool and headed towards the bathroom. Li Ling followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Liu Ruoxi. Seeing Li Ling staring at her, Liu Ruoxi sat down, patted the stone beside her, and said, "Sit down and let's continue talking." Li Ling said, "I have nothing to talk about with you." Liu Ruoxi said, "Fine, then I'll find a time to eliminate you first, and then slowly take down Wang Lun." Li Ling said, "Impossible, he'll definitely drop out." Liu Ruoxi said, "You know that? Are the two of us not even as good as you alone?" Hearing this, Li Ling spat and said, "Despicable." Liu Ruoxi didn't seem to care and continued, "I believe that with his abilities, we can make it to the end. At that time, everyone will be worth millions, you... hehe." Li Ling said, "You think we can make it to the end? You're dreaming. Wang Lun doesn't even know how to hunt. By then..." "You'll be eliminated in two or three months at most." Liu Ruoxi said, "What? He can't hunt?" Li Ling sneered, "What, didn't expect that?" Liu Ruoxi continued, "It's okay, Liu Ruoling can, and her archery skills are pretty good. At worst, we'll eliminate him too, at least we can last longer." Li Ling smiled and said, "Not bad, the plan is good. But I'll tell Wang Lun later, see if he'll still let you stay here." Liu Ruoxi also smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just tell him you're jealous of our existence and want to get rid of us. Who do you think he'll believe then?" Li Ling said, "That goes without saying, it'll definitely be me." Liu Ruoxi smiled and said, "Really? The two of us." Li Ling spat.

Liu Ruoxi continued, "How about this, let's do it together. We'll rely on Wang Lun, hold out until the end, then kick him out, and the three of us will split the billion equally, how about that?" Li Ling said, "Isn't that a good idea?" Liu Ruoxi said, "Anyway, you don't like him, so you might as well give him to us. At worst, you'll get a bigger share." Li Ling said, "You just said I was using him, but now I think you're the one using him." Liu Ruoxi said, "How is this using him? We like each other, you're the one using him." Li Ling said, "Hmph, just wait. When Wang Lun comes back, I'll tell him that both of you ran away." "No, it won't fall." Liu Ruoxi sighed and said, "Since you don't like it, why are you stopping us?" Li Ling said, "No matter what you say, I won't join you in harming him. Even if I really don't like him, I won't hurt him. Unlike you, with your venomous heart, I shouldn't have let Wang Lun save you." Liu Ruoxi said, "He did save me, so I have nothing to repay him with but my body. It's only natural." Li Ling said, "Normal my ass! I'm not talking to you anymore, it's making me angrier." So Li Ling took an entrenching tool and went to the other side of the steps to start building steps.

Seeing Li Ling's expression, Liu Ruoxi smiled. She'd finally fallen into the trap, and it also let Wang Lun know she wasn't the only one who liked her. Thinking about it, she smiled, shook her head, and began building the other set of steps. The steps Li Ling built to access the shower and rabbit enclosure were about 80 centimeters wide. The steps Liu Ruoxi built to go to the toilet were only about 50 centimeters wide, just enough for one person to walk on.

While mowing the lawn, Liu Ruoling told Wang Lun about the plan Liu Ruoxi had discussed with her the previous night, saying, "You absolutely must pretend you don't know? Otherwise, who knows how long it will be before you can win the heart of your beauty again." She then glared at Wang Lun. Hearing the Liu sisters' plan, Wang Lun felt a headache coming on. Although he somewhat liked Li Ling, she didn't reciprocate his feelings, so why force it? He shook his head and said, "Hurry up and mow the lawn, it'll get hot soon." He then continued mowing. Seeing Wang Lun's reaction, Liu Ruoling couldn't help but mutter "idiot" under her breath, then stomped her foot to regain her composure and continue mowing.

Actually, this is a scheme, a scheme within a scheme. Liu Ruoxi wants the team to be more stable, so some things have to be brought to the surface; they can't be hidden any longer. If things go like they did before, it could be dangerous. It's better to take advantage of the situation now, cut the Gordian knot, and let them face themselves. If they like someone, they like them; if they don't, well, it seems they both like each other a little, but Li Ling has some reservations. Liu Ruoxi wants Li Ling to voice her concerns; maybe Wang Lun doesn't care at all.

Another purpose was that once Li Ling took over, the two of them would have to give up, especially Liu Ruoling, who was almost completely smitten. Of course, if they could accept it, that would be fine too, after all, who doesn't want lovers to be together in the end? Besides, being able to share something is better than nothing.

Li Ling and Liu Ruoxi finished building the steps in silence. By then, it was almost noon, and Wang Lun and the others would probably be back soon. So Liu Ruoxi went to prepare lunch, while Li Ling waited at the camp gate, hoping Wang Lun would return so she could immediately expose Liu Ruoxi and Liu Ruoxi's sinister intentions. However, Li Ling, usually calm and rational, seemed a bit impulsive today. Normally, she would have seen through the flawed scheme, but now she was too focused on Wang Lun's safety and overlooked some of the subtle inconsistencies.

Soon, two figures were seen walking towards the camp; it was Liu Ruoling and Wang Lun. When Wang Lun and Liu Ruoling saw Li Ling, Liu Ruoling grabbed Wang Lun's hand, preventing him from pulling away. Wang Lun had no choice but to let her hold his hand as they walked towards the camp.

When Li Ling saw the two holding hands at the camp gate, she suddenly rushed forward and shoved Liu Ruoling's hand away. Liu Ruoling said, "What are you doing? Is it bothering you that I'm holding his hand?" Li Ling turned around, grabbed Wang Lun's hand, and said, "You're not allowed to hold his hand. Only I can." Liu Ruoling said sarcastically, "Only you? Who do you think you are?" Li Ling said, "I'm his girlfriend." Liu Ruoling said, "You're just making this up yourself. He hasn't even agreed yet." Li Ling turned her head, grabbed Wang Lun's head, and kissed him passionately for a long time.

Only then did she relent, saying, "If you have my mark, you're mine." Wang Lun slapped his forehead and said, "Don't you think there's a problem?" Li Ling asked, "What problem?" Suddenly remembering something, she pulled Wang Lun aside, saying, "Stay away from those two sisters. They're not good people; they want to harm you." Wang Lun was speechless again, saying, "Sweetie, let me put the basket down first." Li Ling then let go, but still glared fiercely at Liu Ruoling. However, Liu Ruoling wasn't looking at Li Ling at all; instead, she seemed somewhat disappointed as she walked forward and entered the camp. After putting down the basket, she went inside.
