After lunch, Little Tiger and Da Fu went off to cultivate with great effort, while Chen Muxue chose to take a nap.
Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, life is just lovely!
However, as the Sect Leader of Qian Ding Sect, she obviously couldn't enjoy this peace alone.
The cries of Da Gui suddenly echoed throughout the sect.
Chen Muxue was startled, and quickly scrambled off the bed, running to Da Gui's side, pushing aside the worried Xiao Hua, only to see Da Gui stretching out a hand in distress and crying loudly.
"Sect Leader, help!"
When Chen Muxue saw what made him cry, she was first shocked, then speechless, and if her eyes could show statistics, there would also be a hint of delight.
A small lobster was tightly clamped onto Da Gui's finger. If you've ever been pinched by one, you'll know that once it grabs you, it won't let go easily.
Chen Muxue immediately used her pinky finger to release a stream of boiling water, killing the lobster on the spot, and then pried its claw off Da Gui's finger.
With teary eyes, Da Gui held his injured finger and angrily attempted to stomp on the lobster's corpse, only to be stopped by Chen Muxue.
"Where did this come from?" Chen Muxue asked.
Da Gui gritted his teeth: "This demon beast was brought in by Xiao Hua!"
"It was obedient in my hand. Da Gui deliberately teased it, and it pinched him when it got angry." Xiao Hua seemed at a loss.
Da Gui snorted, turning his head with a stubborn look, yet occasionally sneaking a peek over, just like a defiant husky.
Getting pinched was nothing, Chen Muxue, who often dealt with lobsters, wouldn't dwell on it. What she was concerned about now was—
"Did Xiao Hua find it? Where did you find it? Take me to see!"
Lobsters! Just at the start of summer, it's the prime time when they're plump and tasty! Usually around this time, Chen Muxue used to feast on several pots of them.
However, Xiao Hua was puzzled: "What does Sect Leader want them for?"
Chen Muxue snapped out of her reverie of various lobster dishes and swallowed: "Isn't it obvious? Catch them to eat!"
Xiao Hua's face changed: "But, but..."
"They're really delicious!" Chen Muxue assured while patting her chest.
"Really delicious?"
"Yes, really delicious!"
"Then let's go!" Hearing this, Xiao Hua couldn't wait to run outside, so fast that even Chen Muxue was momentarily caught off guard.
It seems that from today on, the friendship between Xiao Hua and the lobsters has come to an end.
"Quick, get the basket!" Chen Muxue had a premonition that today would be a bountiful harvest.
In the shadows, Cen Lizhui had already set out earlier. Because of the toxin within Xiao Hua and her hidden exceptional spirit root, he had paid a bit more attention to her. Earlier, while Chen Muxue was in her room, Cen Lizhui followed Xiao Hua to see what she was up to, and he watched as Xiao Hua caught that green tinged with red, claw-waving little demon beast.
Upon hearing Chen Muxue guarantee that the thing was particularly delicious, Cen Lizhui knew his opportunity had come!
In a few swift moves, he arrived at the muddy area where Xiao Hua had found it. Clapping his hands, he declared, "Little demon beasts, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Boom boom boom!"
As if exploded from underground, the mud repeatedly burst open. One by one, unsuspecting little lobsters were flung into the air, and with a wave of Cen Lizhui's hand, a vine nearby automatically wove itself into a basket, and the lobsters flew into it one by one.
Cen Lizhui looked rather disdainfully at these filthy little demon beasts and casually used a Cleaning Technique to remove the dirt from their shells.
"These dirty things, can they really taste good?" he couldn't help but question whether Chen Muxue was just deceiving the kid.
