When Mu Qingyun refused outright, Su didn't insist. She ate the grilled fish in her hand with a satisfied expression.
After eating for a while, the two packed up the remaining fish and lobster and returned to the cave along the same route.
Upon entering the semi-enclosed space of the cave, the food in their hands immediately emitted a strong aroma, which tempted Fan Xuan Ye's taste buds, causing him to involuntarily turn his head to look at them.
"eat?"
Noticing Fan Xuanye's gaze, Mu Qingyun raised the basin in her hand, "Blackfish and lobster."
"I won't eat it." After glancing at the contents of the bowl, Fan Xuanye closed his eyes again and turned away to avoid looking at the delicious food in the bowl.
Faced with such a blunt rejection, she raised an eyebrow and said nothing more.
"I'll rest for a while. When Xiong Ruoyou comes back, make sure she has something to eat." She handed over the bowl, sat down in her seat, and closed her eyes to rest.
This body doesn't often cultivate supernatural abilities and mental strength, and coupled with the excessive power used when fighting the Zerg, she is now clearly lacking in physical strength and her body is severely depleted.
After she recovers from this period of rest, she must cultivate diligently, for only by becoming strong can she establish herself.
The aroma of blackfish and lobster filled the entire cave. Fan Xuan Ye, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and angrily smacked his tail.
Damn it, he wasn't hungry, but who can resist the temptation of the aroma?
He subconsciously swallowed, turned his head to look at the food placed in the bowl, then looked at Mu Qingyun and Su, who both had their eyes closed, and stared intently at the bowl.
Never mind.
With his tail outstretched, he tried to swim as silently as possible and quickly climbed to the side of the basin.
Is something moving?
Mu Qingyun suddenly opened her eyes, but narrowed them after seeing Fan Xuanye's actions.
She was always vigilant, paying attention to her surroundings at all times, including when she was sleeping.
What is he doing?
Feeling puzzled, she squinted at Fan Xuan Ye.
Fan Xuanye reached out and carefully dipped his hand into the basin. After taking out a piece of fish, he quickly retracted his tail and returned to his previous position in the blink of an eye.
Is this...stealing meat?
Realizing this, a smile flashed in Mu Qingyun's eyes. He had been reluctant to eat the food offered to him earlier, and had to sneak a bite while they were resting.
Tsk, what a weird quirk.
Wow, that snake-bodied man is stealing food!
[Unbelievable! How could they be stealing food?]
[Ugh, could he turn around while he's eating? I want to see his face!]
I bet his face under the mask is absolutely stunning.
[Ha, you infatuated girl, get lost. Stealing is wrong of him.]
I think he's quite arrogant. He probably didn't want to accept the kindness, but the food smelled so good, and since he's been taking protein powder for the past few days, he couldn't resist the temptation.
[Upstairs, you're absolutely right! I love Fan Xuanye's arrogant and aloof personality. I guarantee his face under the mask is incredibly handsome.]
Absolutely handsome? "Handsome" probably means dashing.
Mu Qingyun glanced at Fan Xuanye, who seemed to be eating fish, and a smile flashed in her eyes. Okay, then she would help them see what Fan Xuanye really looked like.
She quietly stood up and subconsciously turned her head to look at Su. Sure enough, she found that the man was smiling with his eyes wide open, and he had obviously also seen Fan Xuan Ye's actions just now.
This person is quite vigilant.
"Is it tasty?"
A cold voice suddenly rang out from behind him, startling Fan Xuan Ye, who was eating fish. The fish meat in his mouth got stuck in his throat before he could swallow it.
"Cough cough cough—"
Mu Qingyun watched the man struggle and cough, showing no intention of helping him. "Young man, why are you stealing food?"
Upon hearing her words, Fan Xuan Ye, who had recovered, blushed deeply and avoided her gaze.
Fan Xuanye's face was indeed quite handsome, with delicate yet sharp features, good skin, and a small face. However, his vertical eyes added a touch of ferocity to his appearance.
Wow, so handsome!
[I'm in! I'm in! This guy is so handsome, come to my bed!]
I told you, his face under the mask is absolutely handsome!
Wait, why does he look so familiar? Like I've seen him somewhere before.
Ah, husband, husband, husband, come to me in my arms.
[Upstairs, do you know that because of what you said, he's been holding me and comforting me for a long time.]
...
Seeing that the man was ignoring her, Mu Qingyun took the initiative to speak, "Explain?"
Fan Xuanye closed his eyes, as if he had made up his mind, and gritted his teeth. "I'm sorry, I stole your things." His voice was hoarse, quite like a snake, giving people a sinister feeling. "I can compensate you with something else."
After saying that, he took out the storage bag from his waist and poured out all the contents of it. "Take whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingyun didn't stand on ceremony. She rummaged through the pile of things and finally took a laser gun.
She squeezed the laser gun in her hand, a hint of excitement appearing between her brows. She lived in an era of cold weapons and had never seen such a high-tech thing before.
She knew this thing was quite valuable, and it wasn't appropriate to exchange it for a piece of blackfish.
"I'll take this. From today until the end of the first level, you can take any of my food without having to sneak around."
"Oh." Fan Xuanye glanced at the laser gun and put the rest of the items back into the storage bag.
Good heavens, trading a black carp for a machine gun? That's outrageous!
[Are you deaf upstairs? Didn't you hear Mu Qingyun say he could eat any of her food from now on?]
[That's a bit too much. On the island, Fan Xuanye has protein powder, and as an orc, he can eat raw meat. Logically speaking, the laser gun would be much more useful.]
No, I'm just really confused. Both of them have no problems, they've both agreed, so what are you all chattering about? It's like the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.
Uh-huh?
What does this mean?
Mu Qingyun glanced at the screen casually and saw this sentence. As soon as the word "Emperor" appeared, she immediately pressed the screen, "What Emperor?"
[What kind of emperor?]
[This is a proverb that means, wait a minute, doesn't Mu Qingyun know this?]
Oh my god, I've discovered an illiterate person.
[No, hasn't she been educated? How come she doesn't even know this proverb?]
No, this isn't a matter of whether someone has received an education or not. Anyone who can understand human language should know this proverb.
proverb?
Mu Qingyun frowned. She knew the proverb, but she had never heard of this one before. What ordinary person would dare to joke about the emperor?
