“As long as we know what the other party needs, there is no such thing as an unsuccessful deal.” His voice was confident. He stroked her head with one hand and touched her hair softly: “Since you like this place, then we will make this our place.”
“Alright.” She replied. She felt extremely happy as she hugged him while looking at the scenery and inhaling the fragrance of the bamboo.
“Do you think there are any fish in here?” She asked. Her eyes turned and she let go of him and walked over to the lake to take a look. When she saw some fish swimming by the side of the lake, she couldn’t help but grinned: “Ah, there are fis.h.!.+ Shall we fish? We can grill the fish we catch and eat it here?”
“You brought a fis.h.i.+ng rod?” He stepped forward and asked.
“Yes! I have some in s.p.a.ce, I always keep it there!” As she spoke, she took the fis.h.i.+ng rod out from s.p.a.ce and continued speaking: “But you will have to help me dig the bait.”
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Mo Ze smiled and took a dagger out from s.p.a.ce, then walked over to the moist gra.s.s by the lake and started digging.
When Feng Jiu looked back, she saw a man in a luxurious black robe squatting on the ground with a dagger helping her find bait. When she saw this, she couldn’t help but smile.
She was probably the only person in the whole world who could make him squat on the ground digging for her bait without a care for his image.
She looked at him for a while, then put the fis.h.i.+ng rod aside. She lifted her skirt up and walked over to him. She squatted down beside him and took out a bottle from s.p.a.ce.
“Have you dug any yet? I don’t need many, just one or two will be enough.”
“Here.” He used the dagger to pick up the bait and put it into the bottle in disgust.
Feng Jiu chuckled when she saw this. She had forgotten about his habit of cleanliness!
“Alright, I will do the rest.” After she had kept the bait in the bottle, she took out two fis.h.i.+ng rods with silver hooks and handed one to him: “Here, if we catch too many we can bring them home.”
The corners of Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s lips raised slightly as he took the fis.h.i.+ng rod from her and swung the hook out to the lake. Feng Jiu who was standing beside him smiled and also threw her hook out. The two of them stood side by side and talked in low voices.
Not long after, a fish took the bait and Feng Jiu pulled the fish out of the water. When she saw the fish was as big as the size of a palm, she shouted in surprise: “Wow! Look at the fish, it’s quite big!”
As she spoke, she saw him tugging at his fis.h.i.+ng rod and he soon pulled up a fish that was twice the size of hers from the water. When she saw his big fish, she put her fish away and went to help him unhook his fish.
“I can’t believe there’s such big fish in this lake. This fish is enough for the both of us.” She grinned. She held the fish in both her hands, unafraid of the fishy smell. On the contrary, Xuanyuan Mo Ze took a few steps back after catching the fish to avoid being splashed by the water.
There were no branches in this area, only bamboo, so Feng Jiu cut a stalk of bamboo and started to prepare the fish. She didn’t use any branches to start a fire but instead directly condensed fire attributes to the bamboo shoots and grilled the fish that way.
Several men and women who were coming over to the lake stopped when they smelt the scent of the fragrant fish as it spread through the air along with the scent of the bamboo.
“Strange, why is there such a fragrant smell of fish here?” One of the men asked the man beside him when he smelt it: “Didn’t you say that Greenwaves Lake and its surrounding area belongs to your family? How can there be the scent of grilled fish here?”
The eyes of the few men and women landed on the man in brocade robes.
