“Zong Shou?”

Ye Feihan used her finger to scratch her cheeks, making a really distressed expression. “How hard to remember. In the future I will just call you younger brother Shou. Also the Zong Family surname is so weird! Oh, it sounds familiar…”

Zong Shou smiled but didn’t reply. The Seven Tail Sky Fox Zong Family, at least in this era, was really famous, one of the rare races of the monster race. It wasn’t surprising that this girl had heard it.

But was the name Zong Shou really so difficult to remember?

After a blink of an eye, Ye Feihan wasn’t distressed anymore, focusing on eating her fish. Her mouth was really small, like Chuxue’s. Even though she tried to open her mouth, she only swallowed down a small piece of meat. However, her speed was really quick, and in the blink of an eye the Snow Carp was only left with bones. She opened her eyes wide as she looked at Zong Shou.

Zong Shou was helpless, throwing another barbecued fish over. The two of them swiftly finished the Snow Carps before sitting beside the fire and staring at one another.

Just as Zong Shou was wondering when this little girl was about to leave, he saw Ye Feihan start to tear up. He panicked, not knowing what to do, he also didn’t know what he did to make her cry. He heard her sob, “Brother Shou, you are a good person, I have never eaten such good fish in such a long time! How touching, it is even better than my mother’s…”

Zong Shou couldn’t help but feel a little depressed. It was just some barbecued fish, was that worth crying over? That Ye Family sisters were both eight meridian Mythic Masters and were really rich, couldn’t they afford luxurious food everywhere?

Ye Feihan cried for a period before stopping, her expression still really pitiful, “Brother Shou, can you help me barbecue a few more? I still want to eat, and also sister, she hasn’t tried it yet. She is such a poor thing, she was busy the entire day yesterday and in the end the fish was burned…”

When he heard that, Zong Shou was helpless. You are not barbecuing fish to eat, what did that have to do with me? However, his personality was one who liked soft methods instead of hard ones, and he couldn’t bear to see girls cry.

Thinking that since it was early, there was still an hour before he regained his strength, he nodded.

Ye Feihan was delighted. “Younger brother Shou, you are such a good person!” and then she flew into the bamboo forest like a swallow.

She left Zong Shou beside the fire, his face stiffening up. In the future, being called a good person wasn’t a good thing, he didn’t want to be a good person!

That Ye Feihan was gone for about fifteen minutes before she rushed back. Her movements were really swift, and on the shoulders of that thin and small body were six fire-red fishes.

Each of them weighed over fifty kilograms. Ye Feihan didn’t seem to feel any weight, standing in front of Zong Shou, not needing to even pant as she laughed awkwardly.

Zong Shou’s eyes constricted, “Are those Blood Flame Fish? Where did you catch them from?”

His eyes couldn’t help but stop when he looked at her hair. He could barely see a small white horn hiding in her hair.

Blood Flame Fish were all really expensive, and in terms of taste it was actually on the same level as the Snow Carp. However, its blood was really precious; there were dozens of spiritual pills that used it as the main component. Even the Human Pinnacle Pill couldn’t lack the blood of the Blood Flame Fish.

Near here there were a few places where these Blood Flame Fish gathered, but without exception all of them might alert that Chill Serpent.

Ye Feihan didn’t think about it, shaking her head, “I don’t know, I just ran a few miles out and caught it. Sister Han also said there was an underwater fire opening and will not allow me to go close. However, there are many sorts of these fish around it!”

Zong Shou’s expression relaxed slightly, thinking that if he had time, he could go and take a look at it.

The method of handling this Blood Flame Fish was slightly different. Zong Shou chose one of them first and carefully skinned it before making a temporary bag with it.

He started to let out the blood of all of the Blood Flame Fish. It was all a fiery red color, like a flame that was still jumping around. Adding in some medicine powder, he lightly shook it, spreading the powder evenly.

After this step was completed he gutted and cleaned it, using a fist-thick bamboo pole to stab through it before placing it over the flame.

While Zong Shou barbecued it, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you two stay here? You seem to be really familiar with this place?”

Ye Feihan shook her head, “No! We arrived a couple days ago. We spent only four days here and heard our mother say that a senior is coming over, but he is not here. Oh yes, Sister Shuang Shuang is known as Ye Feishuang. Although her temple is bad, she is actually really nice, her heart is soft…”

Zong Shou smiled inside, seeing through that. Hearing that they weren’t going to be staying here, he relaxed. He asked, “There seems to be a horn on your head; are you from the monster race?”

Ye Feihan touched the top of her head, a weird expression flashed in her eyes and she laughed, “We can be considered! Mother has never told us; do humans not have horns? Isn’t that really ugly? Horns are so nice!”

Zong Shou was speechless; had this Ye Feihan never even seen a human? Speaking of which, was he really ugly to her?

However in the end he relaxed; this girl had no relationship with that Chill Serpent.

He also felt weird; which monster race was it that had horns on their head? He had no relevant details in his memory.

The two of them spoke, and in just a short while Zong Shou was able to find out a lot of information from the little girl.

The two girls were twins and seem to live on a small island in the past, but not at Water Fairy Lake. It was said that their mother was really strong, able to summon the wind and call for the rain, breaking stone in an instant. However, as to how strong she was, Ye Feihan couldn’t say for certain.

They seemed to have met a really strong person who had separated them from their mother and they had escaped here.

As for what reason, Ye Feihan seemed to be specially instructed by someone not to say why.

Zong Shou tried to bait her, but he didn’t succeed, and didn’t bother much. He, the Sword Emperor Tanqiu, wasn’t so shameless as to try to hit on two small girls.

He specially asked these matters to be certain of the relationship between the two and the Chill Serpent was.

—

The Blood Flame Fish was slowly being cooked, her gaze was becoming more and more infatuated. She drooled, “Brother Shou let me secretly tell you, don’t tell anyone else. Actually sister cried when she went back home! She said that her cooking skills were bad and someone saw her naked, she wouldn’t be able to marry in the future. I was joking and asked her to marry you, as you look good. However she scolded me and said you don’t know martial arts or spiritual cultivation, what’s the use of looking good? She also said you were useless. However I think you look good, why don’t you marry me? I know how to do everything and I also know how to fight. As long as you cook fish for me every day…”

Zong Shou touched his head; seems like although he didn’t have horns,in her eyes he was still quite good looking!

Just as she said that, a cold scoff spread out from the bamboo forest, “Sister Han, what are you saying? I asked you to train your spiritual technique, why did you run over here?”

Ye Feihan was terrified, turning around, only to see Ye Feishuang coldly standing outside the bamboo forest, her face as red as if she was totally enraged. However, she didn’t dare to stare directly at Zong Shou, saying coldly, “Why haven’t you left? Didn’t I say that it is risky to pick Jade Lake Stone, and you might lose your life? Stop coming here!”

Ye Feihan laughed, not bothering about her sister, holding a barbecued fish and running over, raising it up to her lips and saying, “Sister, have a taste. Brother Shou is not only a good person, his cooking skills can be compared to mother!”

Ye Feishuang frowned, however seeing the fish was forced to her mouth, she unwillingly bit it. Her eyes lit up as she looked weirdly at Zong Shou.

She heavily scoffed, shifting her head to the side, “Sister don’t forget that mother’s fate is still unknown! If something happens to her, what would happen to us? If uncle is unable to succeed, we need to be the ones to take revenge. How can you slack at such a time? If you have any ambition, you need to be ten times more hardworking than last time!”

Ye Feishuang suddenly paused, her eyes locking onto a bag at the side of the pond, her brows rising up. “I know that some people in the human race are proud and don’t want to accept help from others. Having backbone is good, but how can a trash like you that can’t cultivate be arrogant? Mining is dangerous, why not think for your family? If something happens to you, do you know that your family will feel sad for you?”

Scolding them both viciously, Ye Feishuang brushed her sleeves backwards as she left. Ye Feihan’s eyes were covered in tears and only barely didn’t start crying again. Looking at her back and at the fish, she hesitated slightly, taking up three barbecued Blood Flame Fishes and chasing after her sister.

Zong Shou laughed, looking at the fire like he didn’t care about it. This Ye Feihan was a person of conscience and didn’t take all the fish.

Swallowing the fish into his stomach in two or three bites, Zong Shou went to retrieve the fish blood he had placed to the side. Due to the powder, the blood still hadn’t solidified and gave out a strong and intense fish smell.

Zong Shou frowned slightly and gritted his teeth, swallowing it all. Although this blood fish had a fishy stench, it was really delicious when it entered the mouth. Once he swallowed it into his stomach, he felt his entire body became really hot, making him want to totally tear off all the clothes on his body.

Zong Shou took off his clothing once more and jumped into the blackwater pond; only then did he feel comfortable!
