There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Dragging his limping leg, he lunged forward and snatched the bluefish into his mouth.

However, those rather bright eyes still held obvious doubt and confusion, showing considerable suspicion.

Hu Meier didn't think that much about it.

Overjoyed to have finally caught a fish, she quickly reached out and hugged the rather heavy bluefish to her chest.

Turning his head, he saw Jiang Mo looking in his direction and became even more excited.

Without even putting on his shoes, he ran towards Jiang Mo with his catch in his hands, his face beaming with the smugness of a seasoned fisherman: "Look, who said I couldn't catch anything? What's this? Today we finally won't just be eating fruit!"

"Hey, slow down."

Watch your step, watch your step, don't fall!

Chapter 90 It's up to you

With Jiang Mo's reminder and Xiao Bai's protection, Hu Meier's joy did not turn into sorrow, but she successfully prepared a rather sumptuous dinner.

However, the whole process was far from smooth sailing.

Putting aside the lack of pots, pans, side dishes, and seasonings, what made Jiang Mo particularly embarrassed was that before he reminded Hu Meier to remove the scales and internal organs, she was completely unaware that there was such a pre-processing step required for ingredients before cooking.

Think about it too.

While at Huoyu Manor, Hu Meier was basically never involved in any household chores and rarely even went to the kitchen.

Occasionally, when I want to cook something to show my filial piety, there's a chef watching over me.

All the ingredients were prepared properly, so Hu Meier didn't have to do anything like catching fish or killing chickens.

As for their culinary skills, one shouldn't have too high expectations.

Having tasted the other party's special medicinal porridge before, Jiang Mo had a deep understanding of it, so even when Hu Meier used the simplest and most primitive cooking method of grilling fish, he stayed by her side and watched her closely.

Stop Hu Meier's wild ideas in time.

To avoid wasting food and then feeling disappointed, regretful, and guilty.

Even as the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside grilled fish was about to enter his mouth, a question that Jiang Mo couldn't understand lingered in his mind:

"How did this fish get caught?"

"I don't know. Maybe I was just lucky today and found a good fish willing to give its life for Miss. Yes, that must be it. Anyway, Xiaoqing, rest in peace. Your sacrifice was worthwhile!"

If you want to appear genuinely moved, at least remember to wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth, okay?

Also, what the heck is Xiaoqing?

Aren't you supposed to be particular about your pet's name? With such a perfunctory attitude, if Xiaoqing were alive, she would surely be in tears!

Jiang Mo thought to himself, then reached out and tore off a large piece of fish and handed it to Hu Meier.

The latter tried to decline, wanting Jiang Mo, who was injured, to eat first, but before he could finish speaking, Jiang Mo stuffed the fish into his mouth.

"Why distinguish between you and me? This fish is so big, how much of it can you possibly eat?"

Xiao Bai wholeheartedly agreed with Jiang Mo's words and couldn't wait to jump up and snatch the grilled fish, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Jiang Mo's iron hand.

"Hey, you lazy bum, what are you so eager to eat for?"

Jiang Mo was afraid that Hu Meier would overexert herself and exhaust herself. But with Xiao Bai, who had no human rights, he wanted nothing more than to display the wicked face of a capitalist and fully extract every bit of value from her.

“I don’t even expect you to be as fierce as a hunting dog when it comes to roaring at tigers and leopards, but as a fox, you should at least bring back a pheasant or a rabbit, right?”

"Isn't this your specialty?"

Jiang Mo tore off a piece of the fragrant grilled fish and waved it in front of Xiao Bai. He smiled wickedly, just like a boss using a roasted chicken to motivate his employees.

Xiao Bai looked up at Jiang Mo, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, then turned to look at its own still-healing hind leg, a hint of disdain in its eyes. It was fortunate it couldn't speak, otherwise it would definitely have said something to Jiang Mo at this moment:

I'm not human, but you really are a dog!

Hu Meier couldn't stand it anymore and stopped Jiang Mo's hand, which was deliberately teasing Xiaobai, so that the fox, who had been eagerly waiting for half a day, could finally enjoy a delicious meal.

Jiang Mo originally thought that today's events were just a minor incident.

After all, Lady Luck might smile on you occasionally, but she can't be with you all the time. The chance of a silly fish jumping ashore and getting caught is like a rabbit running into a tree and fainting – it's a rare and unpredictable event.

There's no need to have high expectations.

But what actually happened was far beyond Jiang Mo's imagination; indeed, no fish voluntarily jumped to Hu Meier's feet to offer themselves.

But the animals in the mountains seemed to have become her attendants.

Monkeys, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, would bring a large pile of wild fruit to the cave every morning. Deer, often coming to the stream to drink, would occasionally bring wild medicinal herbs.

Occasionally, you can see Hu Meier whispering something to these animals.

Once or twice, Jiang Mo thought it was because she was naturally innocent and carefree, and liked to feed all kinds of pets, so she had this habit of talking to small animals.

This scene can be seen frequently.

Especially when he discovered that the wild animals would actually try to fulfill Hu Meier's wishes after hearing her complaints, Jiang Mo couldn't help but have a bold guess:

Could it be that Hu Meier is the legendary Master Baomeng?

Okay, to analyze this more seriously, Jiang Mo felt that Hu Meier possessed some unique talent, or some one-of-a-kind charm.

It can easily attract wild animals.

They can even communicate to some extent.

This may sound unbelievable, but within the world of Qin's Moon, it's not entirely a fantasy.

The Wolf King, who has long been used as a unit of measurement for combat strength, has a unique skill in controlling beasts.

In the Baiyue region, there are many people who are skilled at using poisonous insects and ferocious beasts to fight for them. Even Jiang Mo has fed and tamed many tool birds.

However, most of their abilities are the result of hard work.

Hu Meier's abilities seem to be innate talents; she can easily do many things that are unimaginable to ordinary people without any sweat or effort.

It turns out that being good-looking really can get you almost anything.

Look at Hu Meier's talent, which seems to be from a transmigrator from the Beast Taming World. It's as if God is feeding her with food.

It's a pity that this talent wasn't fully developed.

After all, Hu Meier had lived in Huoyu Manor since she was a child, and servants would help her with whatever she wanted to do. Why would she need to use animals to help her?

If things continue like this, perhaps Hu Meier's talent will be completely buried.

Just like someone with extraordinary bone structure and a natural talent for martial arts, born into a scholarly family in the 21st century, they may never have the opportunity to unleash their corresponding talent in their entire life.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Hu Meier met Jiang Mo.

Now that she is trapped in this valley with no one to rely on, it has given her the opportunity to activate her talent, allowing her to fulfill her wishes by hunting wild beasts around her.

Jiang Mo suspected that the fish from before was also affected by this talent.

After all, fish are known for their small brains, and the idea that they only have a seven-second memory is widely circulated. With little room for rational thought, and influenced by Hu Meier's captivating charm, it's understandable that they impulsively jumped ashore.

Ok……

After careful analysis, it seems that the big fish was successfully seduced by Hu Meier!

Shaking his head, Jiang Mo shook off some of his unserious thoughts.

He gently placed his hands on Hu Meier's shoulders, earnestly explaining his thoughts and conclusions to her, and finally spoke with anticipation:

"Mei'er, if we want to get out of here quickly, we'll have to rely on your charm!"

Even though Hu Meier could be considered a well-educated young lady from a prominent family, she had spent most of her life confined to Huoyu Manor, and her knowledge and experience couldn't compare to that of Jiang Mo, who came from the information age.

Suddenly, he told Hu Meier that she possessed a unique and innate charm, making her a promising candidate to become the Beast Taming Queen and the Master of Dream Treasures.

It's hard to accept all of this in a short time!

Barely managing to follow Jiang Mo's train of thought and understand what he was saying, Hu Meier's subconscious reaction was to raise her hand and touch his forehead.

It's not hot at all.

Why does it feel like Jiang Mo is talking nonsense?

"It's normal to find it a bit unbelievable, after all, Mei'er, you've never dealt with this kind of thing before. But the evidence has already been right in front of you for a while."

Seeing the other person's stunned expression, Jiang Mo couldn't help but smile.

Without warning, he suddenly raised his leg and gently kicked Little White, who was fast asleep. Although Jiang Mo was still injured and couldn't exert much strength, the sudden kick still made the fox lying on the ground tumble over.

"Waaah~"

Little White, who had been kicked for no reason, instinctively wanted to bare its teeth at Jiang Mo, but it was afraid of his tyranny and could only hang its tail and circle around Hu Meier's feet with a wronged expression.

Why are you bullying Xiaobai again?

Glaring at Jiang Mo, who seemed to be picking a fight for no reason, Hu Meier tenderly hugged Xiaobai to her arms, gently stroking its back to comfort it while scolding Jiang Mo incessantly:

"The day before yesterday, Xiaobai even caught you a pheasant to nourish your body."

"That's unreasonable. If Xiaobai sneaks up on you and pees while you're asleep in the middle of the night, I won't stop him."

Upon hearing this threat, Jiang Mo felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

However, since he was in the wrong, Jiang Mo only glared at Xiao Bai and suppressed his anger.

Instead, he explained seriously:

"Look, this guy just barked twice to me, but you can easily tell what it's trying to say, and even know what it's up to. That must be a rare talent."

"Mei'er, don't underestimate yourself!"

Hearing Jiang Mo say this, Hu Meier couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. She carefully reviewed the details of her interactions with Xiaobai and other pets and indeed discovered many things that she had subconsciously overlooked before.

"Then, can I really help you?!"

With excitement and surprise shining in her eyes, Hu Meier couldn't help but stand up abruptly and hug Jiang Mo tightly.

"Of course, this task can only be done by you."

Jiang Mo vaguely sensed that Hu Meier felt guilty about their current predicament, but he didn't point it out until now. He seized the opportunity presented by her talent and charm to quietly dispel the self-blame in her heart.

She showed Hu Meier through her actions that she was not a burden.

It wasn't like that before, and it certainly won't be like that in the future.
