Chapter 108 The Temptation of Grilled Fish
Bai Jie and Mian Tao walked to the riverbank.
Cotton boll looked at the river and asked, "Is the delicious food in here?"
"Hmm~ It's right here! There's a kind of fish in there that's really delicious!" Bai Jie nodded and said.
"Alright! Watch me, Mengji, dive into the water!" Miantao jumped into the water with a splash.
Bai Jie shook her head as she looked at the excited cotton boll; it didn't seem like she had just been frightened at all.
"Glug glug—" Bubbles kept rising from the surface of the water.
Bai Jie looked at the bubbles rising in the water and thought, "Um... this cotton boll doesn't seem to be able to breathe underwater?"
Bai Jie's lips twitched slightly. Was she too excited and forgot that she couldn't swim?
He slapped his forehead, mentally complaining, but his legs moved quickly, and he jumped into the river.
After a while.
Bai Jie dragged the 'fat' cotton boll onto land.
Bai Jie pressed her paw against Mian Tao's belly.
"Ugh—" Cotton Boil spat out a mouthful of water.
He vomited for more than a minute.
"Cough cough cough..." Cotton Boil coughed up the remaining river water from her throat.
She looked at Bai Jie beside her with a bit of embarrassment.
Oh, haha~ It seems like I did something stupid.
As she watched Bai Jie raise her claws, she instinctively closed her eyes.
Bai Jie rubbed her head and sighed.
"Sigh~ If you can't swim, then don't go in~ Why be so stubborn?" Bai Jie spread her hands and said helplessly.
"Oh~ Then I'll wait for Bai Jie by the river!" Mian Tao said very obediently.
“However…” Bai Jie changed the subject.
"What?" Cotton Peach tilted her head. Did Bai Jie want me to keep catching them?
"I can let you breathe underwater, are you going or not?" Bai Jie said.
His Holy Spirit power could cover the cotton boll's body, and then he would teach the cotton boll how to operate the divine power within her body. Breathing in water was quite simple.
"Really!" Cotton Peach exclaimed in surprise, then hesitated again, remembering the scene of spitting out water earlier.
"Okay, don't worry, I'm here!" Bai Jie patted Mian Tao on the back and said.
Mian Tao glanced at Bai Jie, seemingly having made up her mind.
"howl!"
Bai Jie's divine power circulated within Mian Tao's body, and in no time, Mian Tao learned it.
A layer of Holy Spirit was attached to the surface of the cotton boll.
"Let's go." Bai Jie jumped into the river first.
Cotton Boiled Swallowed and jumped into the river.
At first, she wasn't used to it and thrashed around in the water a few times. Then she saw Bai Jie next to her and remembered the divine power method that Bai Jie had just taught her.
Once I calmed down and focused on the process, that suffocating feeling finally disappeared!
"Gurgle gurgle~ (Baijie is so amazing!)" Cotton Peach said with shining eyes.
"Gurgle~ (It's alright, let's catch some fish first!)" Bai Jie pointed to the Shu fish with three tails, six legs, and four eyes not far away.
"?" Cotton boll looked puzzled. This thing looks so strange. Will it really taste good?
She looked at Bai Jie with a puzzled expression, without saying a word, but Bai Jie completely understood what she meant, because he had had the same question before, and it turned out to be quite delicious.
He gave Mianbo a reassuring look.
Cotton Boll nodded and said, "Alright, let's grab it and try it."
In this way, the two beasts caught eight fish in the water.
Five white cotton bolls and three cotton bolls.
"Bai Jie, I still find it hard to believe this stuff tastes good," Cotton Peach said again, looking at the smelt.
"Alright, we've already caught them, are we just going to let them go?" Bai Jie said to Mian Tao.
"No way! I caught it, so I'll eat it even if it tastes bad!" Cotton Boll jumped up and shouted.
"Let's go, trust me, it won't taste bad!" Bai Jie patted Mian Tao on the shoulder.
The two beasts, carrying the fish they had caught, prepared to return to their camp.
Hmm... but it seems we caught a bit too many. Cotton Peach can't hold them all in her mouth, so she can only ask Bai Jie to grow bigger and carry seven fish in her mouth, while she gets one.
. . .
Bai Jie and Mian Tao finally returned to the camp.
Bai Jie put the fish in her mouth on the ground, smacked her lips a few times, and to be honest, her mouth was a little numb from holding so many fish.
"Golden Thread, you're finally back~" The Four-Faced Beast was the first to approach Bai Jie.
"Daughter, you're back!" Cotton Peach's father also came over to Cotton Peach's side.
"Hmm...daughter, you smell so strong," said Cotton Peach's father. Cotton Peach smelled fishy all over. Although he was used to the smell of fish every day, a strong fishy smell on her body could cause some unnecessary trouble.
"Huh? Really?" Cotton Peach sniffed herself and indeed smelled fishy.
"Hehehe~ I just caught some fish~ Daddy, look!" Miantao pointed to the fish on the ground and said to her father.
Cotton Boiler's father looked at the strange-looking fish on the ground.
"Is this the delicious thing you were talking about?" Cotton Peach's father asked curiously. As far as he knew, this fish was praised by many mythical beasts and was indeed a good thing.
"Okay! This one is for Daddy!" Miantao said with a smile.
When Cotton Boll's father heard his daughter's voice, tears streamed down his face. "My God! Did you hear that?! My daughter actually let me eat first!"
"Good, good, good!" Cotton Boiler's father said "good" three times in a row, showing his excitement.
He put the whole shad into his mouth and chewed slowly, as if he were eating the most wonderful food in the world. In fact, the shad did taste good, but in his current senses, it was the best food! Without a doubt!
After finishing his meal, Cotton Peach Dad licked his lips and closed his eyes, savoring the taste.
Cotton Peach looked at her father in confusion. Hmm...it doesn't seem so bad? What a loss! I should have given it to Hundred-Solution!
Ignoring her father, who was still savoring the taste, she walked up to Bai Jie, took a piece, and ate it. Mmm! It was really delicious!
Zhujian, still in its small form, tilted its head, its only eye looking at the Shuyu, as if it wanted to eat it.
Bai Jie naturally noticed.
"Haha, let me grill it a bit, it'll taste even better that way~" Bai Jie said with a laugh.
"Roast?" He looked a little puzzled.
"Hmm~ It's a skill from a mud-smelling two-legged creature, not bad," Bai Jie explained.
He then picked up a few pieces of wood from somewhere and, along with the little dry grass he had left in his storage space, successfully started a fire.
He placed the fish on it and grilled it, the aroma wafting into the noses of the beasts.
"Slurp~" A slurping sound came from Bai Ze's mouth.
Good heavens, Bai Ze is still waiting here!
Bai Jie smiled helplessly.
When the fish is cooked...
"Alright, everyone come and eat, there are several!" Bai Jie called out to everyone.
The pleasant lunchtime came to an end, and the beasts set off again. The journey was still long, and they hoped to get home as soon as possible so they could see everyone back home. Bai Jie hadn't even spoken much to that Xie Zhi since he arrived.
