"Really?" Although Ziying didn't know what kind of fish White Trout was, seeing Ling Yuxuan holding a large fish that weighed at least ten pounds made her feel delighted.
Her father, Zi Lao Er, had never caught such a big fish, let alone one that was alive. The family was truly in for a treat.
Ziying thought to herself. Then, when she caught sight of Ling Yuxuan's bare upper body, she lowered her head, feeling happy for her sister: her sister must be the luckier one!
With this in mind, Ziying sighed softly and turned away from Ling Yuxuan, focusing on adjusting her own emotions.
She displayed an elegant smile and said to her sister, "Sister, what delicious food do you plan to prepare to treat our grandparents today?"
"Wrong, it's not just for our grandparents; it's also for Brother Yuxuan's master."
At this point, Ziyan remembered that she had asked Ling Yuxuan to bring his master along last night, but this morning it was just him who came down the mountain.
She turned to look at Ling Yuxuan, who had put down the fish and was getting dressed.
Feeling a bit shy, she turned away and asked, "Um, why didn't your father come down with you?"
"Ah? Oh, he said he would come later," Ling Yuxuan replied.
But inside, she was thinking: That little girl! She had been practicing some new skills with her master in the courtyard when she got distracted and sneaked out to the cliff to take a look.
To her surprise! She saw her beloved little girl vigorously poking at the water with the fish spear she had made last time, but after a long time, she hadn't managed to catch even half a fish.
Unable to contain her anxiety for Ziyan, Ling Yuxuan greeted her master and dashed down to the small river below.
This fish cannot be allowed to die.
So Ziyan looked up and discussed with Ziying, "Sister, I still want to stay here a bit longer to think about what else I can find to eat. Can you take this live fish home with the other food? Of course, leave me another basket, and please don't let this fish die."
Hearing her sister's words, Ziying readily agreed, saying, "Okay."
Then she carefully picked up the Big White Trout that Ling Yuxuan had casually thrown aside, still lively and wriggling, and gently placed it into the Bamboo Basket, which also contained a good amount of Snails and River Clam, along with plenty of fresh wild vegetables on top.
She then picked up the fish spear and removed the other Golden Carp that was already dead, holding it in her hand and tying it with a grass rope for Ji Hao. She weighed it in her hand and thought, this must weigh around four or five pounds!
With one hand straining to carry the Bamboo Basket and the other holding the dead Golden Carp, she headed in the direction of home.
In fact, the preparation materials were almost ready. Ziyan felt that it was still early, so she deliberately sent her sister away.
Once her sister walked far enough away, she picked up another bamboo basket and strode towards Ling Yuxuan, conveniently placing the basket handle into his hand while pulling him to the left along the riverbank through the tall foxtail grass.
They walked until they reached a shallow pool by a waterfall. This was the source of the river. Then they moved slightly to the right to an open area where Ziyan took back the Bamboo Basket from Ling Yuxuan and casually set it down on the ground beside them.
Next, Ziyan insisted that Ling Yuxuan accompany her to practice the set of boxing techniques he had taught her last night several times.
After a few rounds, a handsome young man who had underestimated her ended up taking several unexpected punches from his Beloved Child. From then on, he no longer dared to look down on Ziyan.
He secretly marveled: This little girl has great comprehension! It seems she can be taught. After admiring his Beloved Child, Ling Yuxuan nodded at her with pleasure.
"Hmph! You underestimated me. Let you taste my punches."
Ling Yuxuan had long realized that she was merely going through the motions against Ziyan, who was putting in all her effort and attacking fiercely, pressing forward step by step. Ling Yuxuan thought to herself that even if Ziyan used just a fraction of her strength, it would make her efforts worthwhile.
This was the result of hard work; how could she belittle herself like this? It was truly unreasonable, and there were limits to what one could tolerate.
Facing Ziyan's punches and kicks, Ling Yuxuan could finally see the fierce determination in the girl. It was clear that Ziyan was forcing her to take the fight seriously.
Well, her master had always told her: if parents are too kind and don’t let their children suffer a bit when they are young, the children will inevitably face even more hardships as they grow up. The principle was the same!
Thus, Ling Yuxuan faced the girl who was relentlessly attacking her, grinning wickedly while shouting loudly, “Little girl, here I come! You better be ready!”
“Bastard, we’re still far from getting married! When did you become my husband? I think you’re just a softie—asking for a beating.”
“Then come on, I’m waiting.”
“Hmph, bastard, take this!”
“Not enough force! Hit harder!”
“Fine, as long as you can take it!”
“I’m not afraid. If you can beat me, then the world will be yours.”
“Pfft, I’m not interested in ruling the world. I only like gold and silver treasures—gold and silver treasures!”
“Then let’s see how capable you really are!”
"Hmph, don't underestimate me. I will definitely establish my own Cycle of Fate in Nanchu Kingdom."
...
Damn! Ling Yuxuan's provocative method made the two of them fight until they were dizzy.
At least Ziyan combined the unique courage and determination she had since childhood from her previous life. In her last life, she was a strong contender among the girls in police academy, excelling in all sports and martial arts. She loved watching martial arts novels, TV shows, and movies since she was young. When she was around ten, her Adoptive Father even made her a sandbag to teach her how to fight.
So at that time, she was much stronger than her peers and even older kids. She often acted as a protector for her female friends and had never lost a challenge against mischievous boys, being quite the tomboy.
At this moment, she exerted all her strength, with only one regret: Ziyan couldn't perform lightness skills. Otherwise, their fight would have looked incredibly beautiful!
Thus, the two of them fought in that barren land until Ziyan was completely exhausted and finally stopped.
In fact, Ling Yuxuan hadn't used any real internal energy; it was purely a physical brawl. But for Ziyan, who had just started learning, this was already her limit.
After stopping, she lay there panting like a half-dead dog, while a certain boy nearby clenched his fists in pain.
Then he strode over and hugged Beloved Child, sitting down on a tuft of dogtail grass to rest with her. Gently holding Ziyan, Ling Yuxuan made a decision in his heart.
He would take her to one of his secret bases—Hot Spring Valley—later in the evening so she could enjoy a nice hot spring bath and replenish some true energy to quickly restore her strength.
