Qin Sisi looked worriedly at the transparent little fish with blue blood and asked, "Can this fish be eaten? It’s not poisonous, is it?"

Kong Jiu said casually, "Of course not, it’s definitely not poisonous. You can eat it without worry."

"How do you know?" Qin Sisi looked up at Kong Jiu, clearly doubting his words.

Kong Jiu smirked, as if this was a very foolish question, and confidently explained, "Don’t you know? Poisonous things always look very beautiful, full of bright and dazzling colors. This type of fish has no color at all, how could it be poisonous?

Just like how the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people. So, when I saw you, I knew that you are an honest woman; I feel very safe around you."

"..." Qin Sisi almost wanted to slap Kong Jiu’s exaggerated face, but managed to suppress her anger and turned back to observe the strange fish.

Although Kong Jiu’s words were annoying, they did make sense. Qin Sisi rembered learning sothing similar in school: poisonous plants and animals often have particularly vibrant colors as a warning to those who want to approach them. This transparent little fish has no color at all; it might indeed be non-poisonous!

Qin Sisi licked her lips. Screw it—I’ll just eat it.

But she couldn’t exactly eat it raw.

Qin Sisi thought for a mont and concentrated her magic power into her palm. She pointed at the transparent fish and softly commanded, "Fire Ignition Skill!"

Fearing that a powerful fire attribute skill would burn the fish, Qin Sisi chose the weakest Fire Ignition Skill.

A beam of red light shot onto the tiny transparent fish. It emitted a bit of white smoke, but there were no other noticeable changes.

Maybe the fire wasn’t strong enough?

Determined, Qin Sisi used a Fire Bomb skill and aid it at the poor little transparent fish.

There was a loud ’boom’, and a ball of white smoke rose in the air. Startled, Qin Sisi quickly fanned away the smoke with her hands.

However, when she looked down at the fish, she froze; her intended al - the transparent fish - was gone.

Observing Qin Sisi’s stunned expression, Kong Jiu frustratingly covered his eyes and weakly said, "Sis, you can’t roast a Blue Blood Ice Fish with fire; it will lt."

"Blue Blood Ice Fish?" Qin Sisi looked at Kong Jiu, "You know this fish?"

Kong Jiu hurriedly explained, "Yeah, our teacher ntioned it, don’t you know? Aren’t you a student of Heaven Academy?"

Ignoring Kong Jiu’s question, Qin Sisi asked, "If I can’t roast it with fire, then how should I eat it?"

"Eat it raw." Kong Jiu gave a straightforward answer.

Qin Sisi gave Kong Jiu an incredulous look. She could handle eating plants raw, but eating raw at was just too extre.

Kong Jiu said with conviction: "I swear it’s true, using my beautiful face as a guarantee."

Beautiful face?

Qin Sisi took a closer look at Kong Jiu’s face. He had thin eyebrows, slightly uplifted corners of the eyes—actually peach blossom eyes, a high-bridged nose, and red lips.

Well, among n, he could indeed be considered quite handso.

However, in Qin Sisi’s heart, Ye You was much more attractive.

While Qin Sisi was unwittingly thinking of Ye You again, Kong Jiu had already caught another fish from the river and tossed it to Qin Sisi.

Qin Sisi instinctively caught the fish. It was cold to the touch, so she quickly sat down and placed the fish on her skirt.

The Blue Blood Ice Fish, about the size of her palm, struggled to breathe as soon as it left the water.

Qin Sisi stared at the fish for a long ti. The environnt here was unfamiliar, and it was hard to tell friends from foes. She didn’t know when she could leave this place. She couldn’t starve herself indefinitely—if she did, she would die of hunger before finding a way out.

Deciding to throw caution to the wind, Qin Sisi bit her teeth, picked up the Blue Blood Ice Fish with her skirt as a cushion, shut her eyes tight and took a harsh bite.

She expected the taste to be terrible, but it felt quite similar to the Cui Ling fruit that Ye You had given her once it was in her mouth. It was like eating an ice cube.

Fearing hesitance would prevent her from finishing the fish, Qin Sisi swallowed the rest of the fish quickly while it was still fresh, then gently rubbed her stomach. She felt no discomfort.

Kong Jiu saw Qin Sisi’s struggle and couldn’t help but want to laugh. He caught another Blue Blood Ice Fish from the river and threw it to Qin Sisi, "It seems you’re really hungry; eat a few more!"

Qin Sisi hesitated for a mont, waited for an additional ten minutes or so, and didn’t feel any adverse effects. It seed like the fish was edible.

Besides, after eating the Blue Blood Ice Fish, she felt considerably stronger, suggesting that the fish must contain so spiritual power.

Whether eating one or several, Qin Sisi took a deep breath, picked up the fish Kong Jiu threw over, shut her eyes tight, and put it in her mouth.

After eating a few Blue Blood Ice Fishes, Qin Sisi felt energized and refreshed. Her magic power was surging, and she was in top form.

She waved to Kong Jiu and said, "Enough, I’m full."

Only then did Kong Jiu stop catching fish. He ekly showed Qin Sisi his ice-covered hands and said, "Look, my hands are almost frozen into blocks of ice just so you could be fed."

Qin Sisi looked down and saw that thick ice had ford on Kong Jiu’s hands. She touched them and felt an intense coldness she couldn’t bear.

What should she do? She can’t let Kong Jiu’s hands keep freezing; that would be dangerous.

After a mont of thought, Qin Sisi suddenly had an idea—if she concentrated her fire attribute magic power in her palm without releasing an attack skill, would it raise the temperature?

She decided to give it a try.

Invoking the fire attribute from her Magical Source, she concentrated the magic power in the palm of her hand. After a while, she felt the temperature rise in her palm.

Qin Sisi was delighted. She slowly placed her warm hand over the layer of ice on Kong Jiu’s hands, and under the warmth of her fire attribute magic power, the ice on Kong Jiu’s hands began to lt. Soon, his hands were back to normal.

Kong Jiu looked at Qin Sisi with a complex expression. He thought she would panic, beco confused, or perhaps cry out in despair, or even vent her anger at him.

However, none of the emotions he imagined appeared in Qin Sisi. Other than a touch of confusion at the beginning, she remained calm and proactive throughout.

She was proactive in looking for an exit, proactive in adjusting her condition, even despicable enough to eat the Blue Blood Ice Fish raw, and finally, she used her own power to defrost his hands.

Her performance was completely out of his expectation.
