Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 85 A Summer Resort with a Hidden Gem

After taking a bath and changing into new clothes, Mo Xie left the room and went downstairs.

When I got downstairs, I found that my meal was already laid out on the dining table.

The meal was simple: two small plates of vegetables and one small plate of meat, plus a bowl of rice.

The old lady sat at the dining table, smiled apologetically at Mo Xie, and said helplessly.

"Young man, I'm sorry, these are just ordinary home-cooked dishes, please make do with them."

"It's okay, Grandma. I'm never a picky eater. I'm already very satisfied with this food."

Mo Xie smiled and shook his head, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

"Young man, what's your name?"

"Grandma, my name is Mo Xie. If you don't mind, you can just call me Xiao Xie. That's what my elders call me."

"Xiao Xie... Hmm, you seem like a well-behaved child. Where do you live?"

Perhaps because she hadn't seen many outsiders in a long time, the old lady pulled Mo Xie aside and asked her all sorts of questions.

Mo Xie wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she answered every question and also subtly asked a few questions herself.

Grandma's name is Ye Xinlan. From her, I learned that only she and Ding Yumin were staying at this hotel.

When Mo Xie asked about the hotel, Grandma Ye looked a little disappointed and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sigh, the hotel used to be doing very well, but ever since the news of that sorceress spread, fewer and fewer tourists have come here, and the hotel's business has gotten worse and worse. Now, nobody comes at all."

"I'm getting old and can't do anything else anymore. Luckily, Mianmian became a magician, so I have a source of income."

Mo Xie carefully observed that Ding Yumin's expression was very unnatural while Grandma Ye was speaking. She kept her head down, pursed her pink lips, and kept poking at the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks.

It must have been hard for you to feel, since it was your own fault that caused the family business to decline.

Mo Xie kept her word and ate all the food in her bowl, leaving not a single bite.

For him, having something to eat is good enough. He has had times when there wasn't much good food, so he's not a picky eater.

Seeing Moye eating so heartily without complaining, Grandma Ye smiled happily.

After Grandma Ye finished cleaning up the dishes and left, Mo Xie stared at her slightly hunched back and fell into deep thought.

I'll help if I can; after all, I like to meddle in other people's business...

He shook his head and chuckled. Seeing Ding Yumin sitting in front of the computer in a daze, he got up and walked over, knocking on the counter.

Hearing the noise, Ding Yumin raised her bright eyes and looked at Mo Xie with a puzzled expression.

Mo Xie looked at her stunned expression, smiled slightly, and asked.

"Ding Yumin, are you free this afternoon?"

"Yes, I'm free. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Well, it's like this, I'm not familiar with the area, but since you live here, I'd like to hire you as my tour guide for a day."

Ding Yumin was flattered and quickly waved her hand to decline.

"You're a guest, how can I take your money? I'll be your tour guide for free."

Mo Xie shook her head, sticking to her own beliefs.

“One thing at a time. I paid for the accommodation, the tour guide’s fee is separate.”

Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Ding Yumin hesitated for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

Why not earn some pocket money?

"Okay... alright, come with me."

Above Shanghe Street is a large expanse of greenery, resembling a wild ecological park.

Its unique environment once attracted many tourists.

Walking along the tree-lined path on the mountain, stepping on the old stone slabs, Mo Xie looked around at everything.

Many small creatures were scurrying about in the woods.

Perhaps because they hadn't been disturbed by humans for two years, they curiously observed the new humans.

The vegetation, too, grows naturally and healthily. It truly lives up to its name as a summer resort; you can't feel the heat at all here.

Ding Yumin walked ahead, her steps light and bouncy, a cheerful smile playing on her lips.

This is where she grew up; it's like her family's backyard to her, so she knows it very well.

The animals in the woods were familiar with Ding Yumin. Several small birds flew to her side, circled around her a few times, and then flew away.

Good afternoon, everyone!

Ding Yumin waved and greeted everyone loudly, her pretty face full of innocent smiles.

As if touched by her pure smile, many sounds echoed through the forest, as if responding to her call.

Her call was answered, and she let out a silvery laugh.

Behind them, Mo Xie stared in astonishment at the scene, remaining stunned for a long while before unconsciously laughing, secretly feeling a sense of awe.

When God closes one window for someone, He also opens another.

Being identified as a victim of a mental health incident may have brought her a lot of trouble and disrupted her original life trajectory.

But this ability led her into a new world.

Listening to the voices of all living things is a pleasure in itself.

Afterwards, Ding Yumin took Mo Xie to several scenic spots.

"Look, this spot is perfect for watching the sunrise. Lots of people used to come here before dawn to wait..."

"And there, there's a stream, very clear..."

"Oh, right, I'll show you my favorite place, let's go!"

Ding Yumin remembered something, clapped her hands, and pulled Mo Xie away quickly.

Looking at their tightly clasped hands, Mo Xie couldn't help but find it amusing.

It's as if once they're here, they're no longer shy, like a little girl who wants to share her collection with others.

After passing through a jungle, a large lake came into view.

The lake reflects the azure sky, shimmering with dazzling light.

There is a wooden bridge that extends from the shore to the center of the lake, ending at a large platform.

"How's it going? Does it look good?"

Walking on the wooden bridge and looking into the lake, Mo Xie's eyesight was sharp enough to see that there were many fish in the lake.

"Are there fish in the lake?"

"Yes, this place is originally for fishing, there are plenty of fish here, and there are also caretakers who keep them."

"No one has been fishing for two years, so of course there are more fish now. Unfortunately, I'm not very good at fishing, and I might not catch many even after fishing for half a day."

As she finished speaking, Ding Yumin pouted.

Mo Xie stroked his chin, his eyes darted around, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Arriving at the small wooden cabin by the lake, we took out our fishing rods, bait, and two small stools.

"You want to go fishing?"

On the platform, Ding Yumin sat on a small stool, watching Mo Xie fiddling with his fishing rod.

"Yeah, believe it or not, you can catch a fish in a minute?"

"You're kidding, I don't believe you..."

Ding Yumin pouted, her little face full of disbelief.

A minute later, looking at the live fish in Mo Xie's hand, she fell silent.

Seeing Ding Yumin's stunned expression, Mo Xie burst into laughter.

"Just wait, I'll treat you to a big meal tonight!"
