Offering Salted Fish To Master

The lake was covered with snow-white sand, and there were many small white flowers scattered on it. At first glance, it looked like snow. The lake wasn’t big, and the water level on the shore was extremely low, only about the level of a person’s calf. The bottom of the lake was of white sand, coupled with the clear water. The ice-blue translucent fish swimming inside were particularly conspicuous.

Liao Tingyan stood there without moving for a long time.

Sima Jiao raised his brows and said strangely, “Are you not going to fish?”

Fish? Liao Tingyan wanted to grab a handful of sand and stuff it into the ancestor’s collar.

“I’m not,” she said with a sharp tone.

Sima Jiao, a mentor who was sharper than her, stepped forward and caught a fish from the lake, and put it in front of her, “Touch it.”

His expression clearly said, “You are so lazy. You like to fish. But do I have to catch it before you are willing to touch it?”

Liao Tingyan caught the still moving little fish and wanted to throw it back into the water.

Sima Jiao: “I heard that by eating this ice blue fish, you will become more beautiful.”

Liao Tingyan withdrew her hand and decided not to anger the innocent fish. After all, it was Sima Jiao’s problem. What did it have to do with this little fish that could beautify her skin?

Sima Jiao: “If you touch the fish, you can still grill it.”

Liao Tingyan could eat and sleep, Sima Jiao had a deep understanding of that.

Liao Tingyan: “Grill it here?” There were so many guards when they came in. Obviously the place wasn’t simple. If they grilled the fish on the spot, it would be too rebellious.

Sima Jiao was so rebellious.

Since Liao Tingyan had space, she had focused on making herself a little store room, and she could take out everything she wanted on the spot, so she took out the barbecue rack.　This barbecue rack wasn’t the same as modern ones. She saw the proprietress making barbecue in a restaurant and bought her homemade tools. She bought them and ordered several sets, just for this moment.

“One fish isn’t enough,” Liao Tingyan weighed the small fish with her hand. It wasn’t enough for her two bites. It was rare for her to take the initiative to make food.

This time, Sima Jiao didn’t do anything. She went into the water to fish, and Sima Jiao didn’t help at all. He sat on the cushion that Liao Tingyan took out, like a soft rice man. (a man who depend on woman for livelihood)

Liao Tingyan didn’t care about him either. Sima Jiao didn’t eat anything anyway. She would eat all the fishes by herself, and it didn’t matter if she caught it herself. She thought that with her cultivation base, catching a few small fishes would be no problem at all. But after ten minutes in the water, she didn’t catch anything, and couldn’t help but start to doubt life.

Did these fishes escape under her hands? Did they really teleport? The little fish that was swimming leisurely in front of her disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. How did Sima Jiao catch it just now?

She had already used all the spells she could think of and it was still useless. She couldn’t use very powerful thunder spells, otherwise, wouldn’t that alert a lot of guards?

Liao Tingyan returned empty-handed and laid down beside Sima Jiao silently, posing the same posture as a lone fish on the barbecue grill.

Sima Jiao: “…”

Liao Tingyan: “…”

Although on the surface both of them remained silent, in fact, Liao Tingyan’s mind was enthusiastically repeating, “Who can catch a lot of fishes for me is the best man in the world. I really like and admire men who can catch fish. They are so handsome. They can make people feel safe. That fish was so difficult to catch, and whoever can catch it would be superb.”

Sima Jiao pressed his forehead, sat up, and went to the water.

Liao Tingyan also quickly got up and sat next to the barbecue grill. When Sima Jiao came back with a bunch of fishes, Liao Tingyan handed him a white towel in a demonstrative manner, and said graciously, “Thanks for your hard work, wipe your sweat.”

Sima Jiao, who didn’t sweat at all, took the little towel and wiped his hands, and commanded, “Don’t grill it all, make me a soup.”

Liao Tingyan: “Huh? You want to eat?!”

Sima Jiao: “I caught the fish, can’t I eat?”

Liao Tingyan: “Can, can, can.”

When dealing with the fishes, Liao Tingyan thought to herself, what made the ancestor who never liked eating want to eat? Was this a fish that could beautify one’s skin? No! It was love!

Unexpectedly, he liked her so much that he was willing to overcome anorexia and eat what she made.

That idea was shaken when she was eating the fish. Oh my god, how could there be such a delicious fish?! The surface of the grilled fish was crispy, the fish meat was soft and glutinous without any smell. It had no thorns. It was fresh and fragrant, and the stewed fish soup was even more delicious. She swallowed her tongue.

It was supposed to be Sima Jiao’s soup, so he took two sips, and Liao Tingyan drank the rest.

“Delicious?” Sima Jiao held his chin to look at her with a little smile in his eyes.

“It’s delicious,” Liao Tingyan said frankly, holding her belly.

After solving the case, Sima Jiao was willing to drink the two sips of soup. It was definitely not because of love, but the soup was so delicious. It was so delicious when she made it so casually.

Sima Jiao: “When I was young, someone brought a lot of food for me to eat. There were also this kind of fish. It’s annoying to eat too much of it.”

Liao Tingyan: …It turns out that you aren’t anorexic, but just a picky eater.

If he had eaten such delicious things every day before, then it was no wonder he basically wouldn’t eat anything now.

Damn, so envious!

Liao Tingyan rubbed her hands, “Look, can we pack them?”

With a wave of his sleeve, Sima Jiao emptied half of the small fishes in the lake, all of which were kept in a fresh-keeping box by Liao Tingyan. As long as she wanted to eat it, she could take it out.

Liao Tingyan: “It’s enough, leave some resources for regeneration.”
