Chapter 044 Am I a garbage recycling station?
Xiao Jingze lay on the grass like a master, with his hands behind his head, one leg bent and the other resting on top, swaying leisurely, with a piece of green grass in his mouth.
Next to him, a little squirrel was lying trembling with fear.
Seeing a fat fish swimming slowly in front of him, Shen Wuyan curled his lips and smiled:
"That's you."
He thrust it down fiercely, making such a loud noise that all the fish in the river were scared away. He drew his sword and looked...
Empty.
Shen Wuyan comforted himself: "It's okay, try again."
Stab again, look again, stab again, look again, stab again…
Shen Wuyan stepped on a slippery stone and fell into the knee-deep stream with a thud, his whole body soaked.
And those brave fish swam around him arrogantly, as if they were making fun of him.
Shen Wuyan puffed up his cheeks and reached out to catch the fish in defiance, but the fish slipped from his fingertips. When he tried to catch it again, Shen Wuyan fell into the stream with a thud.
Xiao Jing burst out laughing.
Shen Wuyan: “…” If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have talked about experiencing any kind of life. I would have just used my spiritual power to bombard it. All the fish in the river would be mine. I wouldn’t be so desperate like I am now, and be laughed at by my own apprentice.
But who is Shen Wuyan? He is best at confusing right and wrong, and he is very good at talking.
Shen Wuyan stood up calmly, walked back to the shore, sat next to Xiao Jing and said, "Master has decided not to eat fish tonight. Master thinks those fish are really cute and spiritual. How can you bear to eat such a cute fish?"
Xiao Jing chuckled, sat up, and tilted his head to look at Shen Wuyan, "Master, what you said makes sense."
Then Shen Wuyan saw Xiao Jing stand up, pick up a branch and use it to sharpen a point on the sword, then he took off his socks and walked into the stream.
The boy seemed to have grown taller, and his back became broader. He stood casually in the water holding a branch, looking lazy and non-aggressive.
But once a fish approaches, those lazy eyes instantly become ruthless and decisive, and the branch in his hand falls without hesitation, quickly, fiercely and accurately.
In the blink of an eye, a struggling fish appeared on the branch.
At this moment, Shen Wuyan suddenly realized that Xiao Jing was not the seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school kid he thought. Xiao Jing was already a big boy attending college.
The big boy knew everything and could do everything. He handled the fish skillfully, scraping the scales, cleaning the insides, washing it clean, and then skewering it with branches and grilling it.
Sprinkle with coarse salt while turning.
In a moment, the fish was roasted until both sides were golden brown, sizzling with oil and smelling delicious.
There were two big words written in Shen Wuyan's eyes: I want to eat.
Xiao Jing was very naughty, and with a playful smile in his lazy eyes, he said, "Master, you will definitely not eat such a cute fish, right?"
Just slap me in the face, it’s better than going hungry.
Shen Wuyan raised his eyebrows and said righteously: "Who said that? Fish are so cute just to be eaten. Come, let me taste my cooking skills."
Shen Wuyan sat over unceremoniously and reached out to take it, but Xiao Jing took the fish away, clearly not wanting to give it to him. "Master, did I say this was for you?"
Then, Xiao Jing shaved off pieces of meat from the grilled fish, put them in wide, dry leaves, and fed them to the little squirrel curled up in Shen Wuyan's arms.
Shen Wuyan hummed inwardly, "Unfilial disciple, he is not even as good as a little squirrel."
Xiao Jing chuckled.
The little squirrel timidly raised its head, and looked at the kind-looking Xiao Jing with its dark eyes. It was so frightened that it dared not even breathe, and rushed into Shen Wuyan's arms.
Although Shen Wuyan was jealous of the little squirrel, he was still very gentle to it. He gently stroked the little squirrel's back and said, "How come you are even more timid than Gu Yunzheng?"
This little squirrel is a little goblin that Shen Wuyan rescued on the road. His parents were eaten by a tiger spirit in order to protect him.
If Shen Wuyan hadn't acted quickly enough, this little thing would have been digested and absorbed by the tiger by now.
Both of its parents are dead, and it is just a poor little kid who is only a few months old. This uneducated goblin will either become food for other species if it doesn't grow up, or it may become a threat to society if it grows up.
As the first person to obtain the Immortal Lord, Shen Wuyan decided to adopt him out of a strong sense of social responsibility (actually, it was to fulfill his own wish of never raising an animal since childhood).
But there is another reason.
Shen Wuyan remembered that it was written in the original book that a demon lord would appear after the demon world. The prototype of that demon lord was a little squirrel. The little squirrel had hair all over its body that looked like fire and clouds, and there was a white mark like a cloud on its forehead.
And these characteristics are exactly the same as the little squirrel that Shen Wuyan rescued.
Shen Wuyan thought at the time that if he couldn't influence the devilish boy beside him even after using all his skills, then he could only take the second path and recruit a few more powerful disciples.
The Demon Lord is pretty good.
He personally raised them and taught them skills. If Xiao Jing dared to betray his master and ancestors in the future, his own demon disciple could help stop him.
However, this disciple of the Demon Lord is still just a little squirrel. Although he has gained intelligence, he cannot speak and has not yet transformed.
This little squirrel looks very cute, with eyes as bright as black grapes and soft fur all over its body, especially its big fluffy tail, which feels so good to touch.
Ever since he rescued the little squirrel, Shen Wuyan's hand has never left the tail. He finally understood the fun of cat lovers.
Seeing Shen Wuyan's hand starting to stroke the demon's tail again, Xiao Jing smiled even more amiably, "Be good, eat fish."
The little squirrel felt that the man in front of him was so scary. He was clearly smiling, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes, and his eyes were dark and gloomy.
He felt that the man was not saying 'Be good and eat fish' but was saying "Be good and go to hell." "Squeak...squeak..." the little squirrel cried softly, and continued to shrink into Shen Wuyan's arms, shaking its little head constantly.
Xiao Jing's smile widened, "You don't want to eat?"
The little squirrel nodded fearfully: No, no, I won’t survive if I eat it.
Shen Wuyan saw the little squirrel shaking his head and said, "Squirrels eat nuts. If you give him fish, he will definitely not like it."
Xiao Jing lowered his eyes and looked at the fish in his hand, looking embarrassed, "What should I do? The fish has been shaved, Master."
Xiao Jing looked up at Shen Wuyan and said, "Why not give it to Master?"
Shen Wuyan was disgusted in his heart, "You only give me things that others don't want to eat. Am I a garbage recycling station?"
Xiao Jing chuckled, "If Master doesn't like it, forget it, just throw it away."
"What are you throwing away? You're wasting it, you know?" Shen Wuyan snatched the leaves from Xiao Jing's hand, "It's shameful to waste them."
Shen Wuyan ate the food in big mouthfuls, and couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Don't say that Xiao Jingren is eccentric, but his cooking skills are pretty good."
"How do you cook?" Shen Wuyan asked while eating. Xiao Jing picked out the fish bones very cleanly without worrying about getting stuck.
