"You, will this be our new home?"

"Unfortunately, this is just a more convenient place to stay."

"But we can build a lake view villa here. When we feel sad or tired, we can come here to play for a few days and think about nothing."

"But now, get to work."

"You are the devil meow! Let me rest meow! I hate water meow!"

Natural energy is emitted from the surface of the lake when water evaporates. The source must be submerged in water, so we can only go into the water to look for it.

Miwa Masayo refused to do it. She hated taking baths in the first place, and after what happened, she hated anything that could drown her body in water.

"But if Lihua-chan doesn't come to help me, I won't have time to search the entire lake within the mission time limit."

"Then don't search anymore. Leave it to Maoyou and the others."

"Cat Fairy is afraid of water, other cats must be even more afraid."

"Who is afraid of water? I am not afraid of water, I just hate water, meow!"

Because of the slip of the tongue about being afraid of water, Miwa Masayo got anxious and turned around and ran away.

After running up the hillside in a few seconds, the tabby cat turned around and said:

"I'm not afraid of water!"

Then it went over the hill and disappeared.

Uchiha You's attempt to deceive Miwa Masayo failed, so he had to go into the water alone and grope along the bottom of the lake inch by inch, looking for the source of natural energy.

He was not worried about Miwa Masayo's safety. There was no large-scale chakra reaction nearby, no powerful ninja beasts or powerful chakra monsters.

Ninjas are very good at hiding themselves, but they will not attack unidentified ninja beasts in the wild. This is a basic prohibition for ninjas.

Behind every ban there is a bloody lesson. Not being able to attack ninja beasts is a lesson that can be recorded in textbooks. Every ninja who has received formal education knows it.

The chakra reactions of ninja beasts and chakra monsters are different, but the biggest difference is that ninja beasts have masters and backgrounds.

Just fight the chakra monster. If you are lucky enough to subdue it, you can take it home and turn it into a ninja beast.

But if you hit a ninja beast, you are slapping its master in the face, and he will come to seek revenge.

Each ninja carefully hides his or her secrets, so it is difficult to determine which ninja the strange ninja beast belongs to.

Let’s put aside the strength of this ninja for now. What if the ninja who jumps out is your boss? How embarrassing would that be? You would not be able to live like this from now on.

Behind some ninja beasts is a ninja beast family. If you beat the younger ones, the older ones will pop out. For example, behind the little toad may be Gamabunta who is as big as a building, or even a guy named Jiraiya.

Ninjas will not attack unfamiliar ninja beasts unless they can be confirmed to be enemies.

Miwa Masayo's fame is limited to the vicinity of Uchiha Yu's home and in the Cat Castle. Few ninjas in the ninja world know her.

So as long as she doesn't run too far, she won't be in danger.

Uchiha You concentrated on exploring the bottom of the lake, and it was not until late at night that he climbed up the shore tiredly and prepared to rest.

As soon as he got ashore, he found that the supplies he had placed on the shore had been moved, the tent stored in the sealing scroll had been set up, the campfire had been lit, and there was even a rabbit with a broken neck placed next to the campfire.

"Miwa Masayo is such a cute ninja cat."

"Unfortunately, it's not the snail cat lady."

The tent was somewhat askew, the rabbits had not been bled in advance, the supplies had been turned over, and the cans of fish snacks had been eaten up. Perhaps because they felt embarrassed after finishing them, the empty cans were neatly stacked together.

It can be seen that Miwa Masayo is no longer angry after causing a little damage, and she even tried to make up for it. Although it was not perfect, Uchiha You had already felt the intention of the raccoon cat.

He could even feel the familiar chakra of Senjutsu, and the strong feeling proved that she was nearby. But maybe because he couldn't save face, Miwa Masayo didn't wait by the campfire, nor did he curl up in the tent to rest.

Uchiha You sensed carefully and was able to determine that Miwa Masayo was wandering outside, but he was unable to lock onto her exact location.

Uchiha You knows Miwa Masayo very well, and the tabby cat also knows her owner very well. She can accurately step on the edge of his mind's eye observation range.

[Awkward little cat, it looks like I have to use my ultimate move. ]

Cat grass, a plant that has a fatal attraction to cats.

Cat stick, a toy that cats can’t stop playing with.

Squeeze the juice from the cat grass and soak it in the fluff on the top of the cat stick. This is the best weapon to seduce kittens.

Fifteen seconds later, a warm tabby cat fell into the trap of its owner and was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by fate.

"Stop running, okay?"

"You have to promise me that you won't force me into the water again, meow!"

"I agree."

"Then I forgive you too, meow."

The man and the cat looked at each other and laughed.

"What's up with this rabbit?"

"Pre-dinner snacks, meow. The big piece of meat for dinner is over there."

Following Miwa Masayo's instructions, Uchiha You found a burnt black wild boar. It was indeed a large piece of meat, at least 600 kilograms, and the fangs in its mouth were two and a half feet long, comparable to the short swords used by many ninjas. This was definitely not a simple wild boar.

The barren mountains of River Country should not have been able to produce such a giant wild boar. This guy's physique is worthy of being a mountain master.

Uchiha You began to check carefully. After digging open the wild boar's body, he finally felt the natural energy and chakra that had not yet dissipated in the five internal organs, as well as the thinner fairy chakra.

This turned out to be a wild boar that might have mastered magical skills. No wonder there was no large-scale chakra reaction before. In order to satisfy its own needs, this greedy beast would give priority to hunting chakra beasts and turn them all into its own meals.

Perhaps it was not Miwa Masayo who found the pig, but it took the initiative to find the Cat Immortal, then misjudged Miwa Masayo's strength, and eventually died under the irresistible fairy magic flames.

The battle site was only thirty kilometers away from Uchiha You, but he did not notice the outbreak of the battle, and the battle must have ended in an instant.

Miwa Masayo's fighting power was much stronger than he expected.

A wild boar weighing more than 600 kilograms was nothing to Uchiha You. After removing the internal organs that were most likely to contain parasites, he carried the 500-kilogram pig and quickly returned to the camp by the lake.

The meat of the mountain boar is completely different from that of ordinary wild boar. After cutting, it has a marble texture, which is obviously rich in intramuscular fat. It is fatty but not dry, and is very suitable for grilling and frying.

So Uchiha You put the rabbit behind him and concentrated on dealing with the huge wild boar, cutting it up, cleaning it, slicing it, and skewering it, then he increased the bonfire and started grilling it.

High-end ingredients only require the simplest cooking methods, not to mention that Miwa Masayo is good at controlling fire. With her help, the pork is roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Just a sprinkle of salt can create an appetite-stimulating aroma.

With a gentle shake, the boiling hot gravy will flow between the lips and teeth, giving people unparalleled satisfaction. Especially for the two immortal practitioners, they can experience the beauty of the natural energy that has been cooked.

One pig leg was far from enough to satisfy the appetite of humans and cats, so Uchiha You began to cut the second pig leg.

However, during the cutting process, the edge of the blade hit a hard object on the bone, making a crisp metallic collision sound. At the same time, a strange force was stimulated, which made Uchiha You's heart skip a beat.

[Is this the source of the lake's natural energy? ]

[Is Miwa Masayo so lucky? ]
