Chapter 49 Scarlet Eyes

Qian Jingyao has been paying attention to Xia Yuke's situation and never took his eyes off her.

When he saw Xia Yueke fall into the river, his face suddenly changed and he shouted:

"cocoa!"

In an instant, it transformed into a majestic white fox.

He jumped into the water nimbly, like a flash of white lightning, splitting a channel in the water.

His big furry tail swung vigorously in the water, and soon he swam to Xia Yueke.

He gently bit Xia Yueke's clothes with his teeth, his eyes full of anxiety, then swam hard towards the shore, and the movement of getting ashore was done in one go.

After getting ashore, Qian Jingyao changed back into human form and carefully placed Xia Yueke on the grass. He looked at her with a worried look on his face and asked anxiously:

"Coco, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Xia Yueke changed into human form, coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, and after recovering from the shock, he felt a little scared and patted his chest and said:

"I was so scared! I thought I was going to be swept away by the river."

Qian Jingyao shook his head helplessly:

"You're so good at fishing that you even risk yourself. Can we just stop fishing?"

Xia Yueke tilted her head and thought for a moment, her small eyebrows slightly wrinkled. She bit her lower lip, feeling conflicted.

But when I think about how I have been lying in a daze or lying in the cave every day, I am so bored that I am about to grow mushrooms. Although catching fish is dangerous, it is much more interesting than sitting there!

So, the fighting spirit rekindled in her blue eyes, and she decided to continue catching fish.

After all, she is bored to death every day now!

Looking at the same scenery and doing the same boring things every day, I feel like I'm about to turn into a piece of wood.

I can't give up easily on fishing this time. I must catch one to add some fun to my ordinary days.

Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yueke, who was soaked all over. The wet animal skin was tightly attached to her body. A trace of barely perceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

He frowned and without saying a word, quickly took off the animal skin on his upper body.

His movements were somewhat hasty, and the animal skin was quickly taken off in his powerful hands, revealing his strong muscle lines.

As the animal skin slid off, the man's honey-colored upper body was soon exposed, with firm muscle texture, a mermaid line, and eight neatly arranged abdominal muscles on his waist and abdomen.

Xia Yueke was already a little dazed by the shock of falling into the water just now. This time, her eyes widened even more and her little face turned red in an instant.

She was like a frightened little rabbit, and quickly covered her eyes with her hands, leaving a tiny gap between her fingers, through which her eyes peeked uncontrollably.

Her voice was filled with shame and anger: "Yaoyao, can you please be more careful? I'm still young!"

In fact, she didn't want to admit that she was embarrassed because she had been single for too long and had never seen such a "colorful" picture.

She felt her face was so hot that she could fry an egg in it. Her mind was in a mess, filled with the image of Qian Jingyao with his bare upper body, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.

Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yueke like this, and his low voice was filled with a hint of ridicule:

"What? Are you feeling shy now? Why weren't you so anxious when you fell into the water just now?"

Xia Yueke blushed and retorted, "Who's shy? I'm not."

Qian Jingyao smiled and shook his head.

In order to divert his attention, Xia Yueke decided to catch a fish.

This time, she was more focused.

Finally, she found a slightly lazy fin fish swimming slowly towards a rock.

Xia Yueke's eyes lit up and she attacked again. She first hid the net next to the stone, then gently patted the water with her hands, causing some small ripples.

The finned fish was attracted by the waves and swam towards the stone, and immediately fell into the "trap" set by Xia Yueke.

Xia Yueke excitedly raised the net, as if raising a victory flag, and shouted loudly:

"I got it! Yaoyao, look, I did it!"

Qian Jingyao looked at her happy face and couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, you are such a persistent cub."

Xia Yueke said proudly: "That's right, I won't give up easily."

After the two of them caught several big fish together, Qian Jingyao took Xia Yuke back.

However, after they left, darkness enveloped the entire lake, and not a ray of moonlight could penetrate the thick night.

The lake was as quiet as death, and the occasional sound of water was like the whisper of a ghost, which was creepy.

In the grass on the shore, unknown insects made disturbing chirping sounds.

The wind blew quietly, bringing with it a chilling chill.

In this terrifying atmosphere, it seems that some evil existence is about to awaken from the bottom of the lake.

A huge monster slowly emerged from the water.

A pair of scarlet eyes were revealed, like two balls of bright burning gem flames, emitting an intoxicating light, and that light was full of excitement.

Its voice was dull and hoarse: "Xiang, female? I."

After a long while, he finally uttered the second half of the word.

"of."

The voice was full of possessiveness and madness, which made people shudder.

.......

After Qian Jingyao brought Xia Yueke back to the cave, he began to prepare dinner.

Xia Yueke saw Qian Jingyao sprinkle some of the green stuff she had eaten last time into the pot. She quickly pointed at it and asked with sparkling eyes:

"Yaoyao, is this a vegetable? What kind of vegetable is it? What did it look like before?"

Qian Jingyao held a handful of that thing in his hand. It was green and broken, like a handful of crushed jade leaves.

Qian Jingyao looked at Xia Yuke's curious expression and explained with a smile:

"This is mizuna, which grows by the water. It used to grow in clumps. Its leaves are slender, soft, and emerald green. After being picked, they are dried and then crushed into what they are now. They can be used as seasoning to make food more delicious."

When Xia Yuke saw Qian Jingyao cooking, she suddenly felt itchy in her heart.

She thought to herself that the food she cooked was also super delicious. If she could cook for Yaoyao once, he would definitely praise her.

Thinking of this, Xia Yueke's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she ran to the place where the fish were placed involuntarily, eager to try and make something by herself.

Before her little hand could touch the fish, she suddenly felt her body lighten and Qian Jingyao lifted her up from under her armpit.

Xia Yueke struggled, her face full of reluctance, "Hey, Yaoyao, what are you doing! I want to cook for you."

Qian Jingyao frowned and said seriously as he walked:

"Keke, go play somewhere else. How can you do these things? It would be bad if the fish hurt your hands!"

Xia Yueke pouted and muttered:

"I don't get hurt that easily. I'm very strong, okay?"

Xia Yueke was lifted up in the air by Qian Jingyao, her little body twisting restlessly.
