Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Shao Zifeng’s Ambition Chapter 418: Chapter 417: Shao Zifeng’s Ambition Having adjusted his mindset, Shao Zifeng wore a smile on his face.
“Yaya, do you want to eat fish, like the ones we ate before?”
Toothed dragon.
It should be called Tyrannosaurus now…
Forget it, Yaya rolls off the tongue, and the repeated characters are the loveliest.
Yaya didn’t make a sound, but Shao Zifeng clearly noticed its breathing beca brisk, and in the status bar, ‘dejection’ turned into ‘anticipation’, with the tail tip ard with a stone blade trembling slightly.
This little tsundere.
Seizing the mont, Shao Zifeng continued, “How about we try a different way of eating today? Have you ever had grilled fish? The kind that brings a full sense of happiness with every bite?”
Gulp.
Yaya turned around, swallowing saliva subconsciously, but still kept a straight face upon seeing Shao Zifeng.
Not as cute as before, huh.
Shao Zifeng felt a bit of regret in his heart.
The toothed dragon was quite adorable when it was sulking before it evolved.
But fearing to provoke it further, of course, he couldn’t directly say these words.
He waved his hand through the air, and a phantom Space Rift slowly opened up.
Ruthless fire elents flew out from the rift, and the ground fire, as if seeing its king, clung tightly to the ground.
Instantly, Yaya beca sowhat nervous, its amber eyes fixated on the Space Rift.
“ow?”
Qiuqiu rubbed its tiny eyes and poked its head out from the rift, looking like it hadn’t woken up.
“Qiuqiu, can I borrow your pillow for a bit?”
Seeing how tense Yaya was and not wanting to unsettle the child, Shao Zifeng didn’t ask Qiuqiu to co out.
“ow~”
Qiuqiu, still drowsy and hesitant, finally nodded reluctantly.
Before long, a lynx with disheveled fur peeked half its face out of the rift, sneakily observing from the shadows.
“Stop looking and go catch so fish for .”
“Mao?”
The lynx’s eyes imdiately lit up, having long coveted those fish.
“I’ll give you so if you don’t steal any,” Shao Zifeng added uneasily, rembering his dream of becoming the Crystal Fish king, “But if you dare steal even a bite, I’ll have Qiuqiu toss you into a volcano.”
“Mao——”
The lynx, harboring its little calculations, imdiately bristled upon hearing that, recalling its spectral kin that bathed in the magma every day, and couldn’t help letting out a hoarse and unpleasant howl.
Smack!
A long tail slapped on its head, Qiuqiu huffed a few tis in dissatisfaction and turned over to continue sleeping.
The lynx covered its head, looking aggrieved, and trotted off towards the cloud-covered sea.
It wasn’t long before the lynx jumped out of the Space Rift with a few fish in its mouth.
After landing, the lynx first cautiously glanced at Yaya, then skulked around the rocky wall to Shao Zifeng’s other side and carefully placed the Crystal Fish on the ground.
“Mao~”
The lynx nuzzled against Shao Zifeng skillfully, its green eyes fixed intently on the jet-black ring.
Life these days was just not like a cat’s.
Apart from sleeping with him, it was more sleeping, and it really missed the life inside the ring.
“You won’t be left out.”
Petting the lynx’s fluffy head, Shao Zifeng felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
Actually, the lynx’s fur wasn’t very nice to touch; it was too coarse and sowhat prickly on the hands.
As a macho man, Shao Zifeng’s greatest wish was to have a pet with a nice feel that he could stroke.
Along the way, he had unconsciously contracted many creatures, and now looking back, he saw what sort of creatures his pets were.
They were completely off track from his original intention.
A creature all decked in Scale Armor, two without any physical form, and another plump and bouncy, plus one soaking wet.
And the ones lying next to him were even more preposterous.
Other creatures might have been petted a few tis, but this guy with a body made of solid stone just couldn’t be stroked.
Longing for a furry one was really too hard!
But then again, considering that Qiuqiu and Mirage Beibei were dragon-types, and the Ice Horned Whale might also have a chance to beco a dragon-type, if he made a pact with this one beside him.
Four dragon-type battle beasts.
In another dinsion, even the Dragon King of a certain animation didn’t have that many dragon types, right?
Thinking about it that way made him feel quite a bit better.
After shoving the lynx aside, Shao Zifeng simply processed the Crystal Fish, then propped it with the firewood behind him and started roasting it.
Actually, given the texture of the Crystal Fish, it didn’t need to be roasted at all and could be eaten as sashimi, which tasted great despite the lack of sauce.
But even the tastiest food can get tireso if eaten too much, let alone in the resource-scarce Antarctica. For the sake of quality of life, it was still necessary to try out different ways of eating.
Sizzle—
The Crystal Fish’s oils on its surface sizzled under the fla.
The unique scent of the firewood rged with the aroma of the roasted fish, filling their nostrils.
The lynx eyed the fish in Shao Zifeng’s hands, incessantly licking its teeth with its tongue.
Yaya was much more reserved in its behavior, still sporting a cold expression, but frequent swallowing gave away its inner desires.
“It’s ready,” Shao Zifeng said as he waved the fish in front of the lynx. The big cat stretched its neck impatiently, its nose twitching constantly, “Eat.”
“Mao… Roar—”
“You keep it cool, no one’s fighting you for it.”
Seeing the lynx owing and roaring in pain from the heat but still unwilling to let go, Shao Zifeng spoke with annoyance.
“Try this and see how you like it.”
Facing the grilled fish Shao Zifeng handed over, Yaya’s eyes nearly couldn’t move away.
It held its neck stiffly and Bit down, and as Shao Zifeng turned to roast another one, the eyes covered by rock bent into crescent moons.
After eating, the lynx reluctantly returned to its battle beast space to continue its duty as a pillow.
Resting against the rock wall, sleep ca over Shao Zifeng like the tide in the warmth of the firelight.
Crackle!
The campfire slowly dimd, and in his deep sleep, Shao Zifeng couldn’t help but hug his body tightly.
Yaya opened its eyes and stealthily stood up. It picked up a few pieces of wood and threw them into the fire, sparking a flurry of sparks.
Watching the flas reignite, Yaya was about to return to its spot but then stopped.
It cocked its head and looked at Shao Zifeng for a while, then gently lay down beside him.
It tried to curl Shao Zifeng within its body, but after several attempts, it gave up in frustration.
Even though it belonged to the dragon-type like Qiuqiu, as a Land Dragon, its body was very rigid and its tail, which served as a counterbalance, was hard to bend. Moreover, with the limitation of the rocks covering its body, what was an effortless act for Qiuqiu was nearly impossible for it.
In the end, Yaya gave up on that idea. It gently lay on its side, its soft belly facing Shao Zifeng.
After doing all that, it started to fake sleep, occasionally opening one eye to peer at Shao Zifeng.
Assured he didn’t notice its little movent, it dreadlike knocked Shao Zifeng over onto its belly.
Shao Zifeng, in deep slumber, was startled, his face the picture of confusion as he lifted his head.
Rubbing his bleary eyes, Shao Zifeng realized he had fallen over.
Finally, he lay back down on Yaya’s belly and fell asleep once more.
Who’s calling clumsy?
Yaya felt a bit smug, watching all this unfold.
It flicked its tail, and another stick of wood fell into the campfire.
The fire crackled and sparks flew.
The blaze grew even more vigorous.
