Chapter 1895 - 1890: Gluttonous Nature

"Xiaobei gege, this place is really great! I feel like living here for a lifetime and never getting bored!"

Qiaoqiao, who almost ate the apple core, looked at Hu Xiaobei with a satisfied expression.

She truly felt that this was a Paradise...

Seeing Qiaoqiao’s satisfied look, Guaiguai couldn’t help but smile.

Having spent so many years with her sister, she felt that this was the happiest her sister had ever been.

Before, living with herself in the wilderness, her mood was good, but compared to now, there was a huge difference. So, if possible, she would really be willing to live here with her sister for a lifetime...

...

Glancing at the excited Qiaoqiao, Hu Xiaobei chuckled and teased, "Satisfied already? This is just the beginning! Next time, when I’m not busy, I’ll take you back to Xiaohe Village where I live, and you’ll be even happier when you get there."

"Really? Xiaobei gege, you’re not joking?"

Seeing her wide-eyed and adorable expression, Hu Xiaobei laughed, "Of course, it’s true! The mountains over there are covered with all kinds of fruits you love. You could eat a different one every day and never get tired of them."

"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!"

Qiaoqiao was so excited that her eyes sparkled.

Seeing her sister’s excitement, Guaiguai chuckled softly.

To be honest, hearing Hu Xiaobei’s description, she also felt especially yearning.

Because compared to the place where they used to live, the taste of these fruits outside was just too good...

So, she wanted to eat more...

...

"Hungry, right? Let’s head back to eat."

After a while, Hu Xiaobei spoke up!

Hu Xiaobei knew it was getting late, so he prepared to take them back.

"Eat? Isn’t the fruit we just had a meal? Do we need to eat more?"

"Precisely!"

Hearing their surprised remarks, Hu Xiaobei’s mouth twitched slightly. Quickly, he thought of something and softly asked, "What did you used to eat back in the wilderness?"

Exchanging glances, without hesitation, they told the truth, "We are Yao Ling, so we mostly absorb some Spiritual Energy."

"I see!"

Hu Xiaobei’s eyebrows twitched...

Hu Xiaobei thought about it and also found it normal...

They really don’t need to eat regularly like him.

"Since you don’t need it, then we..."

"Oh no, we want to know what we can eat!"

"Exactly, if there’s something really good, we surely want to eat it."

Hearing their eager words, Hu Xiaobei knew they were clearly driven by their foodie instincts again.

With a wry smile, rubbing his nose, Hu Xiaobei looked at them and said directly, "You can eat anything you like."

"We feel that the fish in the water are really good, can we eat fish?"

"You really know how to choose, huh!"

Mumbling to himself, Hu Xiaobei turned his head to look at the small river beside the gazebo.

Watching the gurgling water, Hu Xiaobei stood up.

"Xiaobei gege, are you planning to jump in?"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei stand up, they quickly spoke up with some tension.

Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose and said, "You’re overthinking, I’m not planning to jump in. I’m just going to find something to catch fish."

"Find something? What kind of thing?"

"You’ll find out soon!"

Playing a little mystery, Hu Xiaobei turned and headed towards the woods.

They hesitated for a moment and quickly followed.

They wanted to know what Hu Xiaobei was planning to do.

Previously, they had always been trapped in that vast desert.

Because of this, now whatever Hu Xiaobei did, they found it particularly novel.

Upon arriving in the woods, Hu Xiaobei surveyed his surroundings.

Soon, Hu Xiaobei came to a stout willow tree.

After glancing at it, Hu Xiaobei quickly started climbing the tree.

"Xiaobei gege, what are you planning to do?"

"You’ll find out soon."

With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei climbed the tree trunk swiftly like a nimble monkey.

After a moment of observation, Hu Xiaobei selected a long wooden stick about the width of an arm.

Quickly, Hu Xiaobei grabbed it in his hands.

"It feels just right!"

Mumbling to himself, Hu Xiaobei quickly applied force and snapped it off the tree.

Weighing it a few times in his hand, Hu Xiaobei quickly jumped down from the tree.

Looking at the broken branch Hu Xiaobei had snapped off, they murmured, "Xiaobei gege, are you planning to use this to catch fish?"

"Yes!"

"But how will you do it?"

"You’ll soon find out."

With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei began to remove the excess branches. After that, he picked up a sharp stone and began to work on it.

They watched intently...

They saw it changing bit by bit in Hu Xiaobei’s hands.

"It really is like magic!"

"Indeed, indeed!"

Seeing it quickly become incredibly sharp, they murmured to themselves...

Hearing their words, Hu Xiaobei smiled gently and said, "Alright, let’s head back now! I’ll catch a fish, and we can grill it immediately and eat it."

"Okay!"

They nodded quickly.

Up to now, they didn’t know what Hu Xiaobei planned to do.

But they believed that Hu Xiaobei would definitely succeed.

...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei and the two of them returned to the small river.

This small river wasn’t wide, but it was quite deep...

Usually, no one came here to stir things up, so there were plenty of fish.

"Oh my, did you feel the killing intent?"

Hu Xiaobei’s eye twitched...

The reason for this was because as soon as they approached, the fish that were swimming around quickly disappeared.

"Xiaobei gege, you scared them away!"

"Exactly!"

Hearing their teasing, Hu Xiaobei glanced at them and said, "Don’t worry, I’ll quickly make them come back."

After saying this, Hu Xiaobei looked around a few times and quickly picked up a dark green plant.

This was Houttuynia cordata...

To other animals, it didn’t have much value, but to fish, it had enough attraction. So Hu Xiaobei believed that if he threw it into the water, it would surely draw the fish that had swum away back again.

Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak with such confidence, they said nothing, merely watching Hu Xiaobei quietly.

Hu Xiaobei looked at the small river in front of him and quickly threw the dark green Houttuynia cordata in his hand into the water.

"In ancient times, people waited by trees for rabbits. Now, I wait by the grass for fish!"

Watching the Houttuynia cordata floating on the water surface, Hu Xiaobei murmured quietly...

Soon, a slight smile appeared on Hu Xiaobei’s lips. This was because he noticed the fish that had left earlier were gathering again.

"Finally, you’ve come back. Seems like your memory really lasts just seven seconds!"

As he watched them gradually surface, Hu Xiaobei tightened his grip slightly on the sharp wooden stick in his hand.
