Taking advantage of Xiaoming's inability to speak, the fat fish used its chubby body to block him, then held its tiny tail in front of Shi Lan and said, "Sister, look, I'm injured."
Shi Lan lowered her eyes and saw that there were several more damages on the tail, and a few broken scales with only half a day left. Judging from the size, it should have been Xiao Ming biting it with his teeth and tearing it off with brute force.
Shi Lan's heart skipped a beat. She gently stroked the wound, and a faint golden light spread along it. The wound, which was still oozing blood, immediately scabbed over. The fat fish sighed comfortably and wagged its tail.
Xiao Ming was angry that it had buried its credit, so it jumped directly onto the air shield. To prevent it from moving around, it even grabbed the air shield with its claws, not allowing it to escape.
After being nourished for a period of time, Xiao Ming had already grown to about a foot long. In addition, it was greedy and its mouth seemed to be insatiable. Under Shi Lan's pampering, its round body became even fatter and stronger.
The fat fish was pinned down and screamed in anger, struggling but unable to break free. In its frustration, it couldn't help but ram upwards.
Xiao Ming held it firmly, its four paws seemingly holding the occasionally trembling air shield in place. It raised its short tail and wagged it rapidly, its slightly fierce dog face full of eagerness to be affirmed and appeased.
Shi Lan couldn't help but chuckle. She struggled to pick up Xiao Ming and lifted up the fat fish's protective aura. She said, "You two are both very good and very capable. You two deserve the most credit for restoring my appearance." She took out a brocade pouch. "This is a reward for you."
Upon seeing the brocade pouch, Xiao Ming habitually sniffed. Its keen sense of smell immediately detected that there was food inside, and it tasted good. Its eyes lit up instantly.
Fat Fish has always been very interested in food, and he didn't care about competing with Xiao Ming at the moment, so he quickly moved closer to the air shield.
Shi Lan opened the bag and, in front of the two little ones, cut the lotus seeds in half.
Shi Lan's original intention was to treat everyone equally, but unexpectedly, there was one grain left over in the end.
Holding the lotus seed, Shi Lan felt somewhat troubled.
Fat Fish turned to stare at Xiao Ming. Because of the previous unpleasantness, it was very unhappy. Its original intention to be humble had faded, and its two big eyes were filled with arrogance, trying to use its gaze to "force" Xiao Ming to back down.
Xiao Ming has always been protective of its food. When it sees food, it never hesitates to fight for it. Seeing the fat fish's eyes, it gritted its teeth unhappily and exhaled a loud breath from its nostrils, as if it was ready to fight.
Shi Lan frowned, clearly unhappy with the change in how they interacted.
With a deft flick of her fingers, the already separated lotus seeds slid into the bag. With a gentle twist of her delicate hand, the green skin of the remaining lotus seed broke open, and her rosy lips parted slightly, allowing the plump white lotus seed to fall into her mouth.
Seeing the delicious food he had just gotten his hands on suddenly disappear, Fatty Fish stared blankly at Shi Lan's bright red lips, unable to recover for a moment.
Xiao Ming drooled, sniffing the lingering fragrance in the air, and looked pitifully at Shi Lan, his big eyes glistening with tears.
Shi Lan swallowed the sweet taste in her mouth, ignoring the two little ones' antics, and said very seriously, "Do you know you were wrong?"
Fat Fish Xiaoming nodded repeatedly, and Shi Lan asked again, "What did you do wrong?"
Xiao Ming and Fatty Fish locked eyes, and their four eyes instantly burst into flames.
Shi Lan coughed lightly, conjured a chair, and sat down slowly and methodically, as if she was determined to make things clear today.
Xiao Ming blinked, trying to negotiate with the fat fish with his eyes.
After a brief exchange, the two little ones quickly reached an agreement: the talking fat fish would be in charge of speaking.
"Pretty sister, we should be united and friendly, and we will never fight amongst ourselves again."
Xiao Ming lowered his eyebrows and drooped his eyes in agreement, letting out two appropriate whimpering sounds.
Shi Lan nodded, quite satisfied with the two little ones' response, and took out the brocade bag again to divide the lotus seeds.
With a cheer, the fat fish plunged into the pile of lotus seeds and ate them with great relish.
Xiao Ming was always one to swallow things whole. He opened his mouth as wide as possible and sucked in all the lotus seeds that were twice his height. Then he stared intently at the mountain of lotus seeds that the fat fish had.
Fat Fish Baby exhaled an air shield, enveloping itself and Lotus Seed inside, and glared angrily at Xiao Ming.
Xiao Ming lay on the ground, drooling as it approached.
The fat fish gave it a disgusted look, feeling its appetite greatly diminished. It had no choice but to give up a small portion of its food and warned, "Don't stare at me anymore." Before it finished speaking, it wagged its tail and scurried back to the shed.
Xiao Ming unceremoniously ate all the lotus seeds, probably knowing that the fat fish wouldn't share any more with it, so it simply lay down at Shi Lan's feet to rest.
Shi Lan leaned back in her chair, gently stroking Xiao Ming's soft fur, silently wondering when she should let Hao Ze see her true face.
At this moment, he was still deceived by the fake Lan. Seeing that he looked exactly like her, he might even think that he had used some tricks. He decided to wait and see.
Let's wait until he replies more and we can distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Shi Lan sighed softly, her fingers slowly opening and closing, trying to adapt to the increasing force.
The night was hazy and indistinct. Shi Lan had just finished stretching her muscles and turned around when she suddenly heard the sound of grass bending over.
Shi Lan paused, suddenly remembering that Haoze usually came around this time.
Shi Lan raised her hand and touched her soft, smooth face, then instinctively rushed into the shed.
The barrier at the entrance was opened, and Shi Lan hurriedly grabbed the fat fish that was burping from being full, "Quickly cast an illusion spell on me."
The fat fish made a bubble, blinked, and said, "I can't."
Shi Lan was stunned. She hadn't been in a hurry to cover her face because she thought that with Fatty Fish around, everything would be fine. But when the time came, Fatty Fish couldn't cover it up, which left her at a loss.
Seeing her like this, Fat Fish patiently explained, "My illusion array can only be fixed in one place and cannot move. Why don't you stand still, pretty sister, and I'll try to cover you with clouds and mist?"
Shi Lan was speechless. When Haoze came over, she would definitely pour him wine and chat with him for a while. How could she not move?
Outside the shed, Haoze knocked lightly twice on the rickety door, "Xiaoping."
Shi Lan's back stiffened. She quickly messed up her black hair, haphazardly covering half of her face, and slightly opened the door a crack, then stuffed the wine pot out.
Haoze, holding the wine jug, asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"
Shi Lan mumbled, "I'm a little tired today and want to rest early. You can do as you please outside."
Haoze raised an eyebrow in surprise, somewhat confused about what Shi Lan was up to.
Shi Lan was worried that he would investigate, so she quickly closed the door.
Staring at the closed door, Haoze couldn't help but feel curious. However, his mindset had changed during their time together. He was now willing to accompany her no matter how difficult things were, let alone just drinking.
He obediently sat down by the shed and leisurely poured himself a drink.
Shi Lan peeked at Hao Ze through the crack, and only dared to sneak out when Hao Ze was fast asleep with his elbow propped up.
At this moment, she was unaware that Haoze's divine sense had already enveloped the surroundings. Her unmasked face crashed into his divine sense, startling him so much that his soul trembled.
