"As for why that Qian Yue looks exactly like me, I don't know either." Perhaps it was a coincidence? Lonemoon frowned, suddenly remembering something. "Shen Ying, don't you think …"
He was just about to speak when Bai Ze suddenly appeared beside the two of them, looking at Shen Ying eagerly. "Shen … Ying, come here."
"What's the matter?" Shen Ying lay on the table, not wanting to move.
"Did something happen to Shortie?" Lonemoon stood up anxiously. Shortie had been soaking in the spirit spring for three days and there was still no movement.
"No! She's fine. She can come out tomorrow. " Now that it was Lonemoon's turn, his speech became smoother. "There's just a place that I want to bring Shen … Ying over to have a look."
"I'm not going!" Shen Ying rejected immediately. She was not interested in anything that required movement.
"…" Bai Ze froze and looked at her anxiously. Suddenly remembering something, he took out a bag and handed it over. "Here."
"What?" Shen Ying took it. The moment she pulled it open, something slid out. It was a long, slippery, and wet body. It fell on the table with a thud and kept twisting.
What the hell?
"Could this be … an octopus?" Lonemoon poked the claw on the table with his fan.
"It's a Thousand-Clawed Beast," Bai Ze replied and turned to look at Shen Ying with a blushing face.
"Can I eat it?"
Nodding furiously, he thought for a moment and added, "There are a lot of them …"
"Father Niu!" Shen Ying's eyes brightened. It was written all over her face. Think, think, think. Seafood, seafood, seafood!
(・ ∀ ・) و ́)
"If you want to go, you go. I'm not going!" Lonemoon glared at Foodie Shen. I don't want to help you carry your things.
"You should have said so earlier! Let's go. "Shen Ying stood up quickly, grabbed Bai Ze and rushed out without looking back.
I haven't had seafood in a long time!
"Wait." Lonemoon called out anxiously. "Don't forget what we just said. Now …"
"Got it!"
A reply came from the other side, and the figure completely disappeared.
Lonemoon narrowed his eyes and sat back down.
A while later.
A certain chef walked out with a dish in each hand. He glanced at the empty seat and was stunned for a moment. "Where's Master?" He didn't even eat lunch. This was the first time!
Lonemoon looked up at him. "He was abducted by an octopus."
Yi Qing's face darkened. "Why didn't you stop Master?"
"Why should I stop her?" Lonemoon asked in return. He looked at Chef, who looked like he wanted to kill someone. Something flashed across his eyes and he sighed. "Ai, a grown girl can't be kept at home!"
"…"
Instantly, Yi Qing's face darkened.
He wanted to kill beasts!

Bai Ze brought Shen Ying to a huge lake. The lake water was so clear that one could see the bottom, like a sapphire falling onto the ground. The lake was so big that one couldn't even see the end of it.
"Furball, how do we catch it?" Shen Ying's eyes brightened as a list of aquatic products flashed across her mind. "Should I drain the water?"
Bai Ze was stunned by her sparkling eyes. He blushed again and turned his head away as if he was scalded. "Wait, wait a minute."
As he spoke, he took two quick steps and stopped at the side of the water. He conjured a seal and a light flashed. A series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the lake. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the water. A middle-aged man floated on the surface of the water. He was dressed in black, but his lower body had octopus legs covered with suction cups.
This was that octopus?
"Thousand Claws greets the Supreme Divinity." The man bowed respectfully to Bai Ze and swam to the shore while twisting his numerous legs.
"Mm." Bai Ze nodded and regained his cold demeanor. He stretched out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
"Supreme Divinity, you've finally made up your mind to clean up the demonic beasts in this lake." Thousand Legs was overjoyed and excited.
Thousand Leaf Lake was just below White Cloud Mountain. Many demonic beasts had appeared in the water. Although they were all mutated aquatic beasts without sentience, there were too many of them. What's more, they would occasionally attack the gremlins that passed by. As time went by, no one dared to come here anymore. Some people begged the Supreme Divinity to help, but for some reason, the Supreme Divinity could not make up his mind to clean them up. He only sent Thousand Legs to guard the lake to prevent the demonic beasts from hurting people.
Now that the Supreme Divinity finally decided to get involved, Thousand Legs felt energized. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and plucked a strand of hair. The strand of hair instantly turned into a wriggling octopus leg. He handed it over with both hands. "Supreme Divinity, I'm ready."
Bai Ze took it and turned to hand it to Shen Ying. "Fishing?"
"How?" Shen Ying glanced at the octopus leg that was thicker than a thigh. She only knew how to eat. Mm, this leg was suitable for barbecuing!
"Exalted Goddess." Thousand Legs hurriedly explained, "Demonic beasts are most familiar with my aura. As long as you throw this into the water, you will naturally be able to lure them out."
Shen Ying took the octopus leg and turned to ask, "Won't it hurt?" Although he had many legs.
Thousand Legs laughed. "Exalted Goddess, you worry too much. This is formed from my hair. It only carries my aura. It's not a real leg."
"Oh." She threw it into the water and instantly flew a few hundred meters away.
Just as it was about to fall into the water, the originally calm lake surface suddenly turned into a huge wave. Tens of huge black fish broke through the water. Their green scales shone with a golden light when the sun shone on them. The one at the front bit the octopus leg and fell into the water. As if they had discovered the people on the shore, they turned and rushed over. The waves on the lake were instantly more than a hundred feet high. One could faintly see hundreds of pairs of blood-red eyes staring at them.
"Oh no, it's actually a school of Green Sand Demonic Fish." Thousand Legs was shocked. This type of demonic fish usually lived in schools. There were tens to hundreds of them in a school. They were huge and very ferocious. "Supreme Divinity, why don't we …"
Before he could finish, Bai Ze just raised his hand and waved. In an instant, tens of thousands of wind blades flew toward the waves and hit the school of demonic fish.
In the next moment, the huge waves subsided. A school of human-sized fish floated on the surface of the lake.
Thousand Legs: "…" As expected of a Supreme Divinity.
Shen Ying had already rushed over excitedly to pick up the fish. She grabbed one fish with each hand. There were so many fish! She had to get Chef to boil them, steam them, roast them, and grill them one by one.
"Furball, this method of yours is really effective!"
Bai Ze's face turned red. He hurriedly followed and then silently took out a storage bag and handed it over.
Shen Ying's eyes lit up. She took it and patted his shoulder hard. With a serious expression, she said, "I like people like you who know what to do." With that said, she opened the storage bag and started stuffing fish into it.
Bai Ze's entire body froze. The redness on his face and his black hair were instantly dyed red. He vaguely felt something explode and his mind went blank. She just said like … like … like?
O (* ▽ *) q
After a long time …
He finally replied in a low voice, "Me … too."
