Dealing with the fish was an activity held in the courtyard, but Tang Xiaojiu, who was inside the house, woke up naturally, as if connected by telepathy.
By now, Tang Xiaojiu had realized that every ti Tang Xian's cooking involved fish, scales needed to be removed. So she squatted beside him, helping to scrape off the fish scales.
Tang Xian didn't point out that Tang Xiaojiu's interest was more in playing with the fish than actually preparing it.
It didn't take long before the fish were all dead from the handling.
"Big sister, you're here," Tang Xiaojiu still rembered Qiao Shanshan.
Qiao Shanshan nodded, also rembering the little girl who had looked so doubtful about life after eating a Bogen Fruit.
"My na is Qiao Shanshan."
"Sister Qiao."
Qiao Shanshan rembered how Tang Xiaojiu used to address Dong Ran, suspecting that this was related to Tang Xian, so she preemptively told Tang Xiaojiu her own na.
"Speaking of which, why did you bring such a young child to the mining area?" asked Qiao Shanshan.
"She's six years old, can run errands. Not young at all. The mining area isn't dangerous for Tang Xiaojiu. You'll understand in the future."
After cleaning the insides of the fish, Tang Xian placed them in the pot.
"In the future, don't casually allow others to enter the forest sea; it's sowhat inconvenient to handle such matters, and we can't just kill them."
Qiao Shanshan felt sowhat embarrassed; how did this man know everything?
Simring on a low heat, it would take about thirty minutes for the pot of soup to turn milky white. Tang Xian rembered the timing, instructing Tang Xiaojiu to watch the pot and warning her to wait for his return before eating, or else she might get sick.
Frightened, Tang Xiaojiu nodded vigorously.
He then gave Qiao Shanshan a aningful look and started walking out of the courtyard.
Qiao Shanshan hurriedly followed.
To Qiao Shanshan, Tang Xian seed like a legendary hidden master. If he wasn't bragging, based on the strength he had shown, he could easily handle the White Rose Hunter Group.
The White Rose Hunter Group had four mbers in total—three doctors and one warrior.
The warrior, who was the team leader, was nad Huang Jie, known as the flower of hunters, a beauty among won. Inside the Pyramid, she was accustod to the adoring look from n.
Because such a woman once she becos powerful, always exudes a certain aura.
So on the edge of the forest sea, upon seeing Qiao Shanshan with a man who seed frail, Huang Jie showed a disdainful look.
In the forest sea, Huang Jie was different, possessing robust physique and trendous strength.
The reason why the White Rose Hunter Group had so many doctors, instead of a conventional composition like other teams, was precisely because Huang Jie had real formidable strength.
This was confird even by the hunter groups who were on the front lines, as none had been stingy in their praise when evaluating Huang Jie.
Few others could keep up with Huang Jie's actions. Coupled with her defensive power comparable to the elite creatures of the mining area, and her equipnt starting with green-tier, with a weapon that was a blue-tiered thermal broadsword. Such high-end equipnt allowed her to be extrely formidable in terms of offensive power.
Therefore, battles were often simple. When dealing with enhanced or even elite creatures, doctors only needed to keep healing her, allowing her to freely display her prowess.
Before long, these creatures would discover that this human possessed strength greater than that of wild beasts, a humanoid fierce beast.
"So it turns out you've been following a pretty boy. I invite you again, Qiao Shanshan. I respect you and hope you will join my team."
Huang Jie was actually sowhat surprised, such as the fact that Qiao Shanshan was genuinely here.
Looking at Tang Xian's worn clothes, she felt as if he was soone from the lower class; yet, the man was quite handso. Thinking it over, she found it all the more laughable.
"She said you're a pretty boy," Qiao Shanshan said calmly, trying to provoke so animosity in Tang Xian.
"I have a small face, and it's fair, so she's not wrong there. You should respond to them now, or reject them. The forest sea is dangerous; humans shouldn't co here carelessly," Tang Xian replied with equal calm, ignoring the insult.
Qiao Shanshan was speechless, realizing that even Tang Xian knew the forest sea was dangerous.
"You heard, you saw; this is my partner, and I already have my own team," said Qiao Shanshan.
Tang Xian knew her words were sowhat theatrical, but he was still quite satisfied with Qiao Shanshan's choice.
Huang Jie remarked, "I thought you and your teammates were very close. Yet here you are, a few days later in the mining area, having an affair. Sorry, but I tend to speak bluntly; don't take it to heart."
Qiao Shanshan's expression faltered.
Tang Xian also slightly furrowed his brows.
"He saved and invited to a al, nothing more," Qiao Shanshan managed to say, her tone much colder.
"Psychopath, who eats in the mining area? What good food can there be in the mining area? Are you trying to provoke to co to the forest sea to challenge him? What, now you are worried about your man? Heh, girl, be bold enough to admit what you've done; it's nothing to be ashad of.
In the Pyramid, it's quite normal for n to have multiple won and won to have multiple n, right?" Huang Jie added another barb:
"But you seem too lonely. It looks like those few teammates of yours aren't enough for you. Just a few days dead and you're already onto a new love. But it's okay, it's just a toy, sister understands. Would you consider joining us, I'll ask you one last ti."
Qiao Shanshan was trying hard to control her emotions.
After Qiao Shanshan's statent of challenging her in the forest sea, Huang Jie lost any intention of recruiting Qiao Shanshan. She felt disrespected by Qiao Shanshan's foolish rejection.
