Chapter 107: Changye Tastes Grilled Fish for the First Time

Changye Tastes Grilled Fish for the First Time

Guxian forced a reluctant smile, his gentle voice tinged with a hint of melancholy, "Alright, it's fine."

Watching the female's pitying expression, the corners of his mouth curled up just a fraction more, almost imperceptibly.

He loved this feeling of the female casting her entire gaze upon him.

"Alright, alright." Chaosheng blinked, her eyes turning to Yinxu and Changye, who were preparing the fish, "Let's go eat grilled fish."

"Yinxu and the others should be just about finished."

By the time Chaosheng walked over, Yinxu had already laid the prepared fish fillets flat on the icy ground, waiting for a fire to roast them.

"How is it? Are you tired?" Chaosheng asked with concern.

Seeing that it was Chaosheng who had come, the indifference in Yinxu's eyes softened a little, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "Mm, it's all just about finished."

"Good, then I'll start grilling the fish."

Chaosheng looked at the meticulously prepared fish, slightly raised her hand, and a cluster of flames emerged from her palm.

The flames landed on the fresh fish meat, and a great wave of heat rushed toward them.

The burning flames were reflected in his deep black eyes.

"Whoa!"

Changye stared dumbfounded at this magical scene, his eyes shining with wonder, "What is this?"

He tilted his head; after the surprise, a moment of confusion flickered in his heart—strange, didn't the female Chaosheng only have two Beast Husbands, Baini and Yinxu?

Baini had the Wind Ability, and Yinxu seemed to have the Wood Ability.

Why would a female have such a magical ability?

Guxian watched the earnest and focused female through the firelight, his red eyes softening; the breathtakingly beautiful female always possessed some extraordinary abilities.

Just like the legendary Sea God.

A beautiful, gentle, and powerful female.

The fish meat on the snowy white icy ground began to sizzle, slowly emitting a fragrant and enticing aroma.

"It smells so good!"

Changye was so tempted he was almost drooling; such fragrant food must taste delicious too.

"Chaosheng, when can we eat!"

Chaosheng was amused by Changye's eagerness; the flames flowing from her fingertips grew stronger, and charred, fragrant patterns gradually appeared on the surface of the fish meat, with droplets of oil sizzling and dancing on the tongues of fire.

"Soon, just wait a moment to flip them."

She turned to look at Yinxu, and seeing him still silently tidying up the remaining fish entrails, she said aloud, "Yinxu, come over and rest for a while; don't worry about the rest."

Yinxu's movements paused, and when he looked up, he met the gaze Chaosheng sent his way; ripples stirred in those eyes that were always calm. He gave a soft "Mm," stood up, walked to the fire, and sat down quietly next to Chaosheng.

Baini had long been unable to restrain himself; he squatted by the fire, smacking his lips as he stared at the fish. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he raised an eyebrow at Changye, "Hey, sit further away, don't get burned."

"Huh?" Changye turned around blankly. He craned his neck, looking at the fragrant grilled fish before him, and had moved closer without realizing it.

Baini gave a light scoff, a hint of smugness appearing in his round black eyes, "Don't tell me you don't even know what 'burned' means."

"Being burned means if you get hurt by Sheng's ability, it will hurt."

Changye stared at Baini, his brows knitting slightly, a trace of confusion flashing through his pitch-black eyes, "Burned? Ability?"

What is being burned?

There is no fire in the cold ocean, and no one knows what being burned is.

Guxian, standing to the side, heard this and lowered his eyelashes, his gaze deepening; is it really an ability?

He had seen Chaosheng use fire, and he had previously guessed it was the ability of the female's Beast Husband.

But after sparring with Baini and Yinxu last time, neither of them possessed this kind of ability.

Either the female was hiding other Beast Husbands from them, or this was the female's own ability?

Thinking of this, the look Guxian gave Chaosheng grew more intense—a female... with an ability?

Guxian covered his lips and chuckled softly, his red eyes reflecting the dancing firelight, "Chaosheng is a gift sent to us by the Sea God; her abilities are naturally unique."

He calmly steered the conversation away from "ability."

If the female didn't want to say, he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

Octopuses are the most intelligent creatures; he could discover it himself.

Chaosheng didn't notice the undercurrents between them; seeing that the fish was grilled, a rich aroma exploded instantly.

She looked at the several Male Beastmen, "It's ready."

"Good!" Changye looked straight at the grilled fish on the ground, took two steps forward, and reached out to grab it. When his jade-white, slender fingers touched the freshly grilled fish, Changye cried out in pain, "Ah!"

He clutched his burned hand pitifully, moist tears welling up in his deep black eyes, "Chaosheng, this fish... it bit me!"

"My hand hurts so much!"

"Sigh!" Chaosheng had intended to warn him when she saw his movement, but who knew he would have already fallen for it before the words left her mouth.

She looked helplessly at this lightning-fast "glutton," "You can't touch fish that has just been grilled."

"You'll get burned."

Burned? Changye stared blankly at his bright red fingers, a flash of realization crossing his confused eyes.

So this is what being burned is.

"Hahaha!" Baini laughed heartily, glancing at Changye with mockery, "Sheng, he is so stupid."

"I even warned him, and he still got burned."

"Alright, go eat your fish." Chaosheng glared at him with feigned anger, picked up two fish that were at a manageable temperature from the icy ground, and tossed them to Baini.

"Oof!" Baini caught the grilled fish with quick hands, preventing the fish he had been longing for from falling to the ground.

He looked at Chaosheng with a cheeky grin, the corners of his mouth curling up happily, "I knew Sheng cared for me, giving me the first and second fish to eat first."

Chaosheng helplessly closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly; she truly had no way to deal with Baini, and she wondered how she had never noticed before that Baini could be like this.

"Hurry up and eat, why are you saying so much?"

But these words, falling into the ears of the other three Male Beastmen, meant that the female was admitting she had intentionally let Baini eat first.

Their expressions all darkened by two shades.

Chaosheng looked toward the three of them and beckoned, "You all should hurry and eat too."

"If it gets completely cold in a while, it won't taste good."

"Mm." Guxian tactfully picked up a grilled fish from the ground nearby; the surface of the fish was roasted golden, and the texture of the meat was no longer as soft, slippery, and sticky as before.

When Guxian carefully took a bite, the warm meat juices spread across his tongue, and the fresh fragrance of the fish itself made him freeze for a moment; a hint of softness flashed in his blood-red eyes: "It is very delicious."

"I want some too, I want some too!" Changye hurriedly leaned forward, grabbed a fish from the ground, and began to wolf it down; the fish was indeed not as scalding as before, and as he felt the deliciousness in his mouth, he squinted his eyes in enjoyment, "Mmm... delicious! A hundred times better than raw fish slices!"

Yinxu sat alone to the side, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Here!"

Noticing that Yinxu had not come to take a fish, Chaosheng picked out two fish and held them out in front of Yinxu, her voice gentle, "Are you hungry?"
