However, Chenghuai politely declined Ning Xuan's help.
Instead of letting her waste her spiritual power to heal him, it would be better for her to save her spiritual power for walking out of the secret realm later.
Ning Xuan was rejected by Chenghuai twice, so embarrassed to mention it again, she had to go back to her seat and sit down, holding her face in her hands, looking a little gloomy.
She also wants to do something she can do for Immortal Venerable.
The atmosphere suddenly quieted down, only the sound of "crackling" when the fire was burning, it seemed that the night became more and more quiet.
Chenghuai sensed the little girl's displeasure, and her hand on her knee curled into a half-clawed fist.
He has two apprentices, the younger one is about her age. Chenghuai wanted to recall how he dealt with when his younger apprentices were unhappy. After thinking about it for a long time, he realized that he never seemed to care about his apprentices' emotions, and his apprentices didn't need him to care about their emotions.
There are so many things in the world that he needs to deal with, and he can only take part of the limited time to teach his disciples. Most of the time, he takes them to experience together. When they can be alone, they simply let them go and let them be independent. Just as his master taught him back then.
If it weren't for him being trapped in the secret realm of Acacia, and there was only one Ning Xuan by his side, I'm afraid he wouldn't stop and focus on the "individual".
Ning Xuan's stomach made a "gurgling" sound. She blushed and looked up at Cheng Huai, who was on the opposite side, hoping that the latter hadn't heard the sound.
Chenghuai met her black and white eyes. Originally, her eyes were a little unhappy, but now they were replaced by embarrassment, which was extremely vivid.
He bent the corners of his lips and said nothing, but got up and walked to the edge of the pool.
Ning Xuan's eyes followed him, and she saw Immortal Venerable take action very quickly and grabbed a silver-tailed fish from the pool.
She hadn't read many books, and the people of the Hehuan Sect didn't plan to teach her anything. She could only guess what kind of spirit beast it should be from the fish scales glowing with thunder, and from the mouths of the disciples of the Hehuan Sect, she knew that spirit beasts dangerous.
Chenghuai's movements were neat and swift, but Ning Xuan held her breath and looked at Xianzun nervously, for fear that the spirit beast in his hand would hurt him. After all, his injuries were not healed yet.
Chenghuai turned around and saw the little girl staring at him with those big watery eyes, motionless, as if frightened.
It's just catching fish, why are you scared? Ning girl's courage seems to be a little small.
Ning Xuan saw that the silver-tailed fish in his hand was constantly struggling, and the thunder light flashing under the scales made a rustling sound, as if a hard blow was brewing before death, but Immortal Venerable looked at her "knowing nothing". .
"Xianzun, be careful! That's a spirit beast!"
Ning Xuan clenched her fists, her body tensed, almost ready to go, staring at the silver-tailed fish in his hand.
Chenghuai recalled that she was worried that the fish in his hand would hurt him.
His subordinate exerted a force, and the silvertail fish that was still flapping instantly stopped moving, and the thunder light hidden under the scales also died with its death.
"Miss Ning, don't worry."
Chenghuai waved to her, indicating that she could get closer to see the fish.
Seeing that it really wouldn't move, Ning Xuan lifted the hem of her clothes and approached Chenghuai. She squatted down by the pool with him, and saw the silvertail fish through the dim light of the pool.
"It's called Silver Thunder Long-bearded Fish, a low-level spirit beast that attacks predators with lightning. When you catch it, as long as you hold it here, it won't be able to discharge."
Chenghuai taught his apprentices to use his hands The fish in it was shown to Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan squatted beside him and followed his words to look at the fish in his hand, but at first glance, she was attracted by his sharply articulated hands.
Under the reflection of the dim light of the pool, the scales of the silvertail fish reflected a beautiful light. Chenghuai's fingers clasped the body of the fish. In order to prevent it from slipping away from his hand, he used some strength. Obviously, the drops of water dripped down his hand, and Ning Xuan also pursed her lips and swallowed her thoughts.
She stretched out her index finger and poked at the place where Chenghuai's thumb was clasped, but she was electromechanically numb the next moment. She quickly retracted her hand, grabbed her index finger, and looked at Xianzun pitifully, as if asking him why Even if the fish dies, it will discharge.
Chenghuai didn't expect her to act like this. If he was his apprentice, if he didn't give instructions, they would never dare to move.
However, the dead Silver Thunder Longbeard Fish didn't have much remaining spiritual power, and Ning Xuan's electric shock was as painful as the numbness she felt.
"You endure the pain for a while, hold it down, and you won't be electrocuted."
Chenghuai only found it funny when she met her aggrieved eyes.
The little girl was too impatient, and started before listening to him.
Ning Xuan didn't want to try again, she retracted her hand and squatted aside to watch Chenghuai handle the fish.
With no spiritual power and no knife at hand, Chenghuai can handle this fish with only his own strong force and body.
Ning Xuan was stunned when she watched Xianzun's movements. She thought that such a pair of hands should be with a pen or a sword, but she did not expect him to handle ingredients like this.
An inexplicable thought suddenly popped into her heart, besides her, has anyone else seen such an Immortal Venerable?
After Chenghuai finished handling a fish, he turned around and saw Ning Xuan who was looking at him eagerly, remembering that if his apprentice was there, the next step would be to let the apprentice fight.
"Do you want to try it?"
Ning Xuan pointed at herself, "Do you want to catch fish?"
Chenghuai nodded.
Ning Xuan remembered the moment she had just been electrocuted, she frowned and began to hesitate.
Such is her character. Once she is injured, she hides in her protective shell and never dares to try again.
But...
the water pool was sparkling, Ning Xuan squatted by the pool, looking at the reflection of Immortal Venerable Chenghuai in the pool, like an illusory shadow that would disappear if you weren't careful. His eyes were deep and gentle, looking at her encouragingly, with anticipation in his eyes.
No one ever expected anything from her.
Ning Xuan couldn't refuse Immortal Venerable, especially such Immortal Venerable.
"What should I do?"
She suddenly had courage in her heart, courage from nowhere, blind and bold.
"It will be attracted by the reflection, so when it gets close, take action and hold it like I just taught you." Chenghuai's voice was calm and pleasant, as if he just did what he said, no matter what he did. , must be successful.
Ning Xuan slowed down her breathing, her attention shifted from Immortal Venerable's reflection to the silver-tailed fish in the pool.
A silver-tailed fish about the length of an arm slowly swam towards her reflection. The fish's mouth opened and closed, and its tail was waving, as if unaware of the danger at all.
"It's now!" As soon as Chenghuai's voice appeared, Ning Xuan immediately took action.
She has used the fastest speed in her life to catch the silvertail, but compared to Chenghuai, it is still too far behind. Ning Xuan's hand just touched the surface of the pool, and the flow of water alarmed the silvertail, and it fled It was faster than Ning Xuan's. Ning Xuan saw the position. She was supposed to be able to hold its dead point accurately, but it still slipped away, just grabbed its tail.
Ning Xuan lifted it up, wanting to hold its dead hole after it escaped from the water source, but the silver tail fish had already prepared a big move, and the thunder and lightning were about to reach Ning Xuan's palm.
It was the first time she tried to attack the spirit beast, and she didn't know how to react. She could only watch the thunder and lightning reaching her palm along its fish scales.
At this moment, a pair of powerful hands stretched out from the side and pinched the silvertail's dead end, but in an instant, the thunder and lightning disappeared.
In Chenghuai's eyes, when Ning Xuan faced danger and didn't know what to do, she was like a kitten with fried fur, her eyes widened.
Because of fear, her beautiful face lost its color and she almost forgot to breathe. She trembled. Carrying this dead silvertail.
She looked at Chenghuai and looked like she was about to cry. Even Chenghuai thought she was about to cry, but she didn't expect her to pull away a reluctant smile, and her voice carried a panic that she didn't even notice. Pretend to say calmly: "Xianzun, I caught it."
If it were his own apprentice, Chenghuai would criticize and educate them on a case-by-case basis, but facing the little girl in front of him, his heart seemed to soften, and he was reluctant to say a heavy word.
He thought that if it was serious, she would definitely cry.
Chenghuai remembered that his master said that only weak people shed tears.
For the first time, he felt that what Master said was not completely correct.
If it's Miss Ning, it doesn't matter if she sheds tears.
"Well, you are brave."
She was a very brave little girl. Even if she has been hurt by it, she has the courage to try, which is good.
Chenghuai's eyes were soft, and she took the silvertail fish in her hand and handled it for her.
In the corner of his vision, Ning Xuan grabbed her right hand, which was still shaking, and finally calmed down. She patted her heart like a child and whispered to herself,
"It's alright, it's alright."
Her movements were childish. But Chenghuai didn't think she was naive, on the contrary, she thought the little girl was pitiful and cute.
Ning Xuan exhaled and followed behind Immortal Venerable, watching him skillfully grill the two fish.
The aroma of the grilled fish gradually came out, Ning Xuan covered her stomach that was grumbling, and looked at the grilled fish with bright eyes.
Chenghuai grilled the silvertail fish that Ning Xuan caught, and handed it to her.
"Thank you Xianzun!"
Ning Xuan took the grilled fish and gave him a sweet smile, revealing a shallow pear vortex at the corner of her mouth.
Chenghuai accepted her thanks, and slowly ate another grilled fish.
Ning Xuan usually doesn't care much about her image when she eats, but today is different. After she took over the grilled fish, she was about to eat a lot when she saw Xianzun Chenghuai eating elegantly and didn't make a sound.
She restrained her movements, held the grilled fish, straightened her waist, learned the way of Chenghuai Xianzun, and carefully savored her "fruits of labor".
Chenghuai looked up and saw that every time Ning Xuan took a mouthful of fish, she had to stop and chew it several times before swallowing it.
He didn't understand, how could she cherish such tasteless fish? Or, does she really like the taste?
Chenghuai's attitude towards food will not be wasteful, but he can't be as happy as Ning Xuan, because he doesn't think such fish is delicious, so he can't help asking Ning Xuan,
"Is it delicious?"
Ning Xuan Xuan nodded vigorously. Although it had no taste, it was the meat of a spirit beast after all, and the meat itself was extremely tender. Moreover, it was the fish that Immortal Venerable cooked for her!
"Delicious!"
Chenghuai looked at her with a bit of pity in his eyes.
It seems that the little girl has never eaten any delicious food. If they go out, he wants to take her to eat more delicious spiritual meat.
