While Mu Weiliang went to catch fish, Rong Qi prepared a bath tub and clothes for Feng Qinghuang so she could change. After confirming that the surrounding area was safe, he prepared to make lunch for Jiao Jiao.
It's already afternoon, so this is a rather late lunch.
When Mu Weiliang returned, the fire was already lit and the porridge was being cooked.
The two of them skillfully placed the fish on the grill to bake.
After a while, Feng Qinghuang finished washing up and came out from behind the tree.
Wow, it smells so good!
Feng Qinghuang's little nose twitches, it's so cute.
"Jiaojiao, it's almost done, this one is ready!" Rong Qi said, handing a grilled fish to Feng Qinghuang who was walking over.
"Thank you, Aqi."
"Be careful, it's hot."
After taking it, Feng Qinghuang blew on it a few times and began to eat it in big mouthfuls.
She quickly finished the first fish and picked up the second one. Just as she was about to take a bite, all she had left was a twig.
Feng Qinghuang was dumbfounded. Where was her fish?! Just a flash of red light, and her fish was gone. He had thought it was just a sudden flicker of the fire.
"Aqi, what did you just see? Where's my fish?"
Rong Qi smiled. He saw it, but didn't see what it was. Anyway, it was a little gadget.
"Yes, I saw it. It's okay, keep eating, it will come back."
If this little creature came because of the grilled fish, it will definitely continue to try and steal it.
When Feng Qinghuang took the fish this time, she gripped the branch used to skewer the grilled fish tightly, wanting to see what was stealing her grilled fish.
She looked around but didn't see anything. Just as she was about to open her mouth to eat the fish, she suddenly felt a weight on her hand. Feng Qinghuang quickly pressed her hands down on the fish on the branch.
For a moment, Feng Qinghuang and the little creature holding the fish stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Was that the little thing just now? Is this the Fire Fox that Aqi was talking about? But it doesn't look quite like it. It's much prettier than the Fire Fox.
Its entire body was covered in fiery red fur, which shone a deep purplish-red in the sunlight, without a single blemish. Only a tuft of flame-shaped hair between its eyebrows appeared slightly darker in color.
Feng Qinghuang liked it very much, and she declared that the little one was hers.
"Little guy, let go!"
Although Feng Qinghuang liked it, she couldn't show it so obviously at the moment.
The little fox remained calm and steadfast in its grip upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's words. Its glassy eyes were fixed intently on Feng Qinghuang.
Feng Qinghuang felt a pang of tenderness under its gaze. Could it be that the little fox had used illusion magic on her? She had heard that some foxes could use illusion magic.
"I'll ask you one more time, are you going to let go or not?"
The little fox still didn't make any move.
Rong Qi and Mu Weiliang just stared at the human and the beast, wide-eyed at each other.
Feng Qinghuang stared into the little fox's eyes for a long time, but in the end, she couldn't bear it.
"Okay, okay, I can't argue with you, here you go, eat it."
Feng Qinghuang placed the branch directly on the ground, and the little fox picked it up and darted away.
"Oh, this little fox's eyes are so beautiful. I wanted to play with it a little longer."
Rong Qi: "Jiaojiao, that wasn't a Fire Fox just now, but the most noble one among the Fire Foxes, the Crimson Flame Fox."
"Oh, really? How did Aqi tell the difference?"
Rong Qi handed her another grilled fish: "Ordinary fire foxes don't have a flame mark between their eyebrows. And ordinary fire foxes have a tuft of white fur at the tip of their tails. This one, however, not only has a flame mark between its eyebrows, but its fur is also a deep reddish-purple, which is why it is the most noble lineage of fire foxes."
Feng Qinghuang: "Oh, I see. It's alright, I just can't stand it not coming back!"
"Okay, let's eat first. I'll get you some porridge."
Feng Qinghuang quickly nodded: "Aqi is the best."
Mu Weiliang rolled her eyes at her: "Am I not good enough? Who caught the fish you ate? All you ever think about is Aqi, Aqi..."
Feng Qinghuang chuckled: "Oh, my third senior brother is the best too. The best senior brother in the world."
"Hmph, that's more like it."
After receiving the praise, Mu Weiliang continued his grilled fish business.
While Feng Qinghuang was drinking her porridge, the little fox ran back and stared at her bowl without moving.
Feng Qinghuang seemed to understand its thoughts: "You're back. Do you want some porridge?"
This time, the little fox nodded for the first time ever, and even pointed to the porridge she was holding.
Feng Qinghuang sighed, "I really owe you something. Come on, let me feed you."
Upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's words, the little fox leaped onto her lap and sat down, waiting to be fed.
Feng Qinghuang felt that this little fox might be on the verge of becoming a spirit, as it actually understood her words.
Feng Qinghuang fed it with a bowl, and the little fox, unusually, didn't run away again.
The little fox even let out a burp after finishing the bowl of porridge. The two fish and the large bowl of porridge were enough to fill the little fox's stomach.
The little fox sat on her lap, not moving an inch.
"You've eaten your fill, aren't you leaving?"
Upon hearing her words, the little fox simply lay down, closed its eyes, and began to sleep.
Feng Qinghuang was amused by it; this little fox ate its fill and then slept, she wondered who it had learned that from.
Mu Weiliang beside him...
This little fox is just like my junior sister in temperament.
