"And she's so cute. Can I touch her?" another woman said.

"I'll go first, I'll go first. I really want to take it home and raise it."

"I think so too. What do you say we take it back secretly?"

Several women came over one after another, and the little koi shrank back, with its tail slightly curled up.

This... this...

"No." A clear male voice sounded behind them.

Several women paused and turned around.

Qin Zhao strode forward, bowed slightly to the woman holding the little koi, and said, "I'm sorry, but I raised this little fish. Can you give it back to me?"

The person they were talking about just now appeared in front of her and even spoke to her. The woman was a little stunned and couldn't say a word for a while.

Qin Zhao's eyes fell on the little koi and he stretched out his hand towards him: "Come here."

The little koi wagged its tail and obediently jumped into Qin Zhao's palm.

Qin Zhao's serious expression finally relaxed a little. He said goodbye to the women and turned to leave.

Several women looked at each other in confusion. After a long while, someone finally spoke up: "Those...those are really the fish he raised. How could he raise them so well and even look for hairpins..."

"These are nothing...but Qing'er, you're so lucky today! Qin Zhao took the initiative to talk to you!"

The woman called Qing'er just looked at Qin Zhao's back without saying anything.

Qin Zhao carried the little koi back to the shallows and without saying a word, stuffed the fish back into the fish basket.

Jing Li: “???”

What is this for? He hasn’t had enough fun yet!

Qin Zhao tapped the little koi's forehead lightly with his finger: "Before I finish washing the clothes, you stay here and reflect on your mistakes."

The little monster was very seductive. In just a cup of tea, he was almost taken home by someone.

"...If you run around, your white sugar cake for tonight will be confiscated." Qin Zhao added when he saw the little koi fish jumping and trying to jump out.

Jing Li: “…”

He threatens the fish again!!!

Under pressure from someone, Jing Li could only stay in the fish basket and wait until Qin Zhao finished washing his clothes and took him home.

Finally, I had pastries for dinner.

The little koi was chewing intently, its tail wagging with joy.

Qin Zhao broke the cake into small pieces and waited until he finished one piece before throwing the second piece to him to prevent him from choking if he ate too fast.

He had read stories about monsters in books.

Most of the monsters practice in secluded mountains, and then transform into humans and come to the mortal world. There are only a few possibilities for them: revenge or repaying a favor.

The former absorbs the essence of living people and in serious cases can endanger other people's lives.

But he had been with this little monster for such a long time, and not only had he not suffered any harm, he was even living much better than before.

If it weren't for this little guy, he might not have been able to survive the incident with the Chen family and would have been driven out of the village long ago.

Instead of it being like this now, the family has some money, has rented land, and is preparing to build a house.

But if it's to repay a favor...

You can't always look like a fish.

Qin Zhao was lost in thought and forgot to give Jing Li a piece of cake.

The little koi fish raised its head high, staring at the pastry in his hand, its tail wagging anxiously.

"Ah... sorry."

Qin Zhao quickly broke off a piece of cake and was about to throw it to him when he suddenly stopped.

Seeing the eager look in the little monster's eyes, he suddenly felt that if he used the white sugar cake to threaten the little monster to change into human form in front of him, he would probably not fail.

However, this thought only flashed through Qin Zhao's mind for a moment, and he immediately put it behind him.

There are so many ways to make Xiaoyu tell the truth, why choose such a boring method?

Qin Zhao threw the sugar cake into the water, but before it even reached the surface, a small koi fish jumped up and caught it. The koi fish swam away with the cake in its mouth, its cheeks bulging with food.

Qin Zhao propped up his chin and looked at him, a smile in his eyes.

After all…it’s kind of fun to see how silly this little monster can get.
