If they went to another cave, there wouldn't be any branches! He was shivering from the cold right now, and it was like asking him to pick up some more branches. How could he do that?
"Eh, there's some branches here. Can we start a fire?" Xinyan was a little cold as well. Although Lin Yi had used his pure energy to protect her, she still felt the chill in this empty valley.
"Half!" Zhaolong yelled as he ran over, panting heavily. His heart was bleeding, however. He was the one who found the tree branch, and he had to give half of it to Lin Yi. But he didn't dare reject Xinyan's' discovery ', after all.
"Oh, you can have half then." Lin Yi said faintly. He could tell that the branches were placed here by someone else. Who else could it be other than Zhaolong?
"Heh heh …" Zhaolong didn't hold back. He thought for a moment and said, "Right, do you guys have lighters? Why don't we start a fire here? I'll start a fire, and we'll all stay together. What do you think? "
"Oh, okay." Lin Yi didn't want to freeze Zhaolong to death in a situation like this. After all, Boss White valued the harmony between his disciples a lot, and Lin Yi respected Boss White a lot. Boss White's background wasn't simple, and Lin Yi had to listen to him.
"Then I won't hold back!" Zhaolong was overjoyed. He took out a lighter from his pocket and squatted in front of the branches.
"You're quite well-equipped, aren't you? You don't smoke, and you have a lighter with you? You prepared it long ago, didn't you? " Lin Yi looked at Zhaolong teasingly. "You wanted to have a romantic night with Xinyan in the cave, and you didn't expect me to join?"
Zhaolong felt a little awkward, but he couldn't deny it. Looking at Xinyan's displeased face, Zhaolong thought that today was his unlucky day. If he'd known this was going to happen, he wouldn't have gone through with this plan. How unlucky!
However, the worst thing was yet to come. Zhaolong pressed the lighter twice, and his face froze. The lighter was soaked in water, and he couldn't light it!
"Aren't you going to light a fire? What's wrong? "Lin Yi smiled at Zhaolong.
"Water …" Zhaolong said, his face pale.
"Since you cannot contribute, there is no other way. You can forget about enjoying this bonfire," Lin Yi said coolly.
"You … You have a way?" Zhaolong paused and looked at Lin Yi. "You have a lighter?"
"No." Lin Yi shook his head.
"Why are you talking about me if you don't have it?" Zhaolong glared at Lin Yi. Can you fix the lighter? "
"Go cultivate yourself." Lin Yi casually tossed out a fire-type alchemic flame. The twigs caught on fire with a whoosh. The fire was very strong.
Zhaolong remembered that Lin Yi was a refiner, and he could condense alchemic flame. He didn't need a lighter at all, so he shamelessly came over. "It's a waste if I don't use the heat from this bonfire anyways. Let me have some?"
"Sure, but you'll have to go collect the twigs later." Lin Yi didn't push him too far.
"Alright, let me dry my clothes first." Zhaolong agreed without hesitation. He and Tiger Right had picked up the twigs earlier, and he knew where to find them.
Zhaolong was shivering by the fire, and Xinyan had recovered a long time ago. She didn't have any water on her, and it was just a bit of cold air. She was fine now.
"Hungry?" Lin Yi asked.
"I … I'm fine …" Xinyan still couldn't let go. She didn't like Zhaolong very much, but she was afraid that he'd force the Sky Elixir Sect to harm Lin Yi.
"I'll go catch some fish." Lin Yi stood up.
"Okay … I'll sleep for a bit. I'm a bit sleepy …" Xinyan didn't want to be alone with Zhaolong, so she found an excuse.
Zhaolong was speechless. He heard that Lin Yi was going to catch fish. He was very happy, but when he heard that Xinyan was going to sleep, he didn't know what to say. But he couldn't let Xinyan stay up to talk to him, could he?
Lin Yi left, and Xinyan closed her eyes to rest. Zhaolong could only sit by the fire, depressed. But thinking about the delicious fish he'd be eating soon, his mouth watered! He had some chocolate and hardtacks in his backpack, but they weren't as delicious as the fish.
Lin Yi came to the lakeside. There were always some fish in a naturally formed lake. Lin Yi walked carefully to the hole Zhaolong had made and closed his eyes, using the jade's senses to reach out and catch the fish in the lake. It didn't take long for him to catch four fish. He took out a blade from his shoe and cut open the fish's stomach before returning to the cave.
Although Lin Yi didn't think that Zhaolong would do anything to Xinyan, Lin Yi still wanted to be quick. He returned to the cave and saw that Xinyan was still sleeping. He let out a breath of relief.
"You're back?" Xinyan heard footsteps and opened her eyes. She was happy to see Lin Yi.
"Yeah." Lin Yi found a few branches and put the fish on top of the fire to roast.
Zhaolong didn't know what to say to Xinyan, who had slept for less than twenty minutes. Xinyan obviously didn't want to talk to him! He could feel that ever since the cable car incident, Xinyan had become a lot colder towards him.
Xinyan had kept her distance from him before, but it wasn't like now, where she didn't even want to talk to him.
Soon, the fish was done. There wasn't any seasoning, but it was delicious. Zhaolong's mouth watered. "Can we eat now?"
"Yes, but you can't eat it." Lin Yi took a skewer of fish and gave it to Xinyan.
"Wh … Why?" Zhaolong's hand froze.
"Go get it yourself if you want. Xinyan and I will each get two skewers. You're not getting any," Lin Yi said as he took a skewer and started eating.
Zhaolong really wanted to snatch it, but he didn't dare. He was afraid of getting beaten up. He smiled bitterly and squeezed out an expression that looked worse than crying. "Okay …"
"He's a bad guy, but you don't have to be so harsh … We're classmates, after all." Xinyan didn't want Lin Yi to offend Zhaolong.
"You want to eat and get something for free? There's no such thing as a free lunch." Lin Yi didn't care.
Zhaolong didn't have Lin Yi's strong senses, and he didn't have Lin Yi's skills either! To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.
