Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 86 The Ambiguous Atmosphere in the Kitchen
As the sun gradually set behind the mountains, the fiery sunset painted the entire lake crimson, turning it a vibrant red that shimmered on the water.

The two people walked on the wooden bridge, their shadows stretched very long.

Ding Yumin carried a bucket full of fish, her face beaming with happiness.

"I'll teach you these fishing techniques, so you can fish on your own and never have to worry about not catching fish again."

Mo Xie walked ahead, also carrying a bucket full of fish.

"Mmm, thank you! This is enough fish for Grandma and me to eat for a long time!"

Ding Yumin's smile remained unchanged as she watched the fish swimming in the bucket.

The fish in her bucket were ones she caught herself after learning the techniques; the abundance of fish proved her talent for learning.

The thought of her and her grandmother being able to eat fish for several days made her smile even brighter.

Mo Xie turned to look at Ding Yumin and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ding Yumin's smiling face always gave off a silly and innocent vibe, like a little fool.

Actually, he was also surprised when he saw Ding Yumin catch a whole bucket of fish.

She learned it quickly after I only taught her for a short time, which shows how talented she is.

That's true; teaching her a survival skill is much more practical than simply fishing for her.

There was an easier way: she could have used her own mental abilities to lure the fish into the bait.

This method is many times faster than simply waiting for the fish to bite.

However, Mo Xie didn't want to tell her that if magic was used, the satisfaction and joy of doing it himself would be diminished.

Seeing the happy smile on her face, she probably thought that this was not bad.

"What are you laughing at?"

When Ding Yuming saw Mo Xie grin and laugh out loud, she pouted in dissatisfaction, feeling that he was being mocked.

Mo Xie turned her face and smiled gently.

"I wasn't laughing at anything, I just thought your smile was kind of cute."

Ding Yumin's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly turned her head away, stammering as she spoke.

"Really...you're so direct...it's...cute and stuff..."

"Look, isn't it cute?"

"No...no, you're so annoying..."

The two chatted and laughed all the way back to the hotel.

Grandma Ye was already waiting at the entrance of the courtyard.

Seeing Mo Xie and Ding Yumin walk back, he waved and called out with a smile.

"Xiao Xie, Mianmian, you're finally back!"

"grandmother!"

Ding Yumin jogged over and proudly showed her the fish in the bucket.

"Grandma, look! I caught a whole bucket of fish. Aren't you amazing?"

"Amazing, amazing, truly worthy of being called Mianmian."

Grandma Ye patted Ding Yumin's head and then turned to look at Mo Xie who was walking over.

"Xiao Xie, thank you so much for taking care of my granddaughter."

"Grandma, he didn't take care of me at all!"

Upon hearing Grandma Ye's words, Ding Yumin immediately became displeased and retorted.

Mo Xie walked up to Grandma Ye and said with a smile.

"Grandma Ye, you didn't need to cook last night. How about I cook fish for you?"

"Good, Xiao Xie is such a good boy."

Upon arriving in the kitchen, Mo Xie was preparing to prepare the fish when Ding Yumin followed her in.

"What did you come in for?"

"Why can't I come in? I've cooked before, I can come and help."

Ding Yumin widened her eyes and said defiantly.

Have you ever cooked fish?

Mo Xie looked at Ding Yumin with suspicion and asked, "This... I really haven't done it..."

Ding Yumin awkwardly stuck out her little tongue, her expression quite adorable, and then said...

“But I’ve seen how Grandma does it, and I can learn from her. Didn’t you say I have a great talent for learning?”

“These are clearly two different things; fishing and cooking fish are not the same thing.”

Sensing an extremely strong pleading gaze, Mo Xie sighed helplessly.

"Alright, alright, you can try cooking a fish first."

"Yes, yes, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Seeing that Mo Xie agreed, Ding Yumin nodded repeatedly, her beautiful eyes shining with golden light, and said with great confidence.

If things are as you say, then thank God...

Mo Xie shook his head, not trusting Ding Yumin's words much, and picked up the kitchen knife to chop the fish on the cutting board.

……

With his eyes fixed on the fish in the bucket, he took a deep breath and prepared to strike.

In a split second, with lightning speed, he plunged his hands into the water and grabbed a fish.

"Caught!"

Ding Yumin smiled triumphantly and raised the raindrop in her hand into the air.

But the fish didn't give up. It frantically flapped its tail, and water splashed onto Ding Yumin's face due to the violent flapping.

She gasped in surprise, her hands involuntarily loosening their grip, and the fish successfully escaped its "clutches" and jumped into the tank.

The fish was blowing bubbles in the water, its eyes staring blankly at Ding Yumin, as if in a provocation.

You just can't catch me, aren't you angry?

Ding Yumin felt insulted, gritted her teeth, and continued to extend her "claws".

Hearing the loud noise behind him, Mo Xie thought to himself, "Just as I thought."

He shook his head and sighed helplessly, put down the kitchen knife, and walked behind Ding Yumin.

Ding Yumin was still holding the fish's body, waging a life-or-death struggle with it.

Suddenly, she felt her delicate hand being enveloped by a pair of warm, large hands, and heard a magnetic male voice in her ear.

"Okay, let me help you."

Mo Xie grasped Ding Yumin's delicate hand and skillfully began to operate it.

"Watch this, I'll show you how to do it. You have to stun the fish first..."

"Remember to clean the fish's internal organs thoroughly..."

"Next is the fish scales. Just scrape them off like I'm doing with a kitchen knife..."

"Note that you should cut the fish meat like this, so that it can absorb the flavor..."

Despite hearing Mo Xie's voice constantly in her ears, Ding Yumin didn't hear a word he said.

She stared blankly at that handsome profile; it was the first time she had ever been so close to a boy.

Mo Xie's eyelashes are so long! How can a boy have such delicate skin!
I could actually smell a faint jasmine scent. Was it his scent?
Why do I feel so safe and secure in his arms?
For a moment, an ambiguous and alluring atmosphere filled the entire kitchen.

"Ding Yumin, are you listening?"

At this moment, Mo Xie suddenly looked down at Ding Yumin.

Because Ding Yumin was looking at Mo Xie, when he lowered his head, the distance between their faces was only a few centimeters.

The two stared at each other for a full second before they realized what was happening.

"what!"

Ding Yumin reacted the most, immediately shoving Mo Xie in the chest.

Her pretty face flushed, her body trembled, and she said shyly.

"I...I think it would be better if I helped..."

Girls' minds are truly hard to understand... Mo Xie shrugged and sighed inwardly.

"Okay then, could you chop the scallions and ginger for me?"
