Chapter 199: Red Carp and Pearl Fish
Xiao Xiao was a little surprised at Chiyu's cooperation.
But he didn’t think much about it.
He took the red carp from the abacus and carefully put it into the fish tank.
……
Returning to the water again made the red carp happily wag its tail a few times.
Although it is a monster, unlike ordinary fish, it cannot live without water for a moment. However, long-term lack of water will make it very weak, after all, it is an aquatic monster.
Moreover, the water tastes really good, and there is a faint spiritual energy flowing with every breath.
Chiyu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Huh?! Is there... a demon?!
Chiyu was startled. Another monster? !
It swam quickly to the glass wall and looked down vigilantly.
The evil spirit came from below.
This is?
Chiyu looked at the motionless gray-black monster with some surprise.
Two pairs of eyes were closed as if they were asleep, and the six feet around them were floating slightly with the water flow.
Pearl fish!
The red carp knows the pearl fish.
After all, they are all aquatic monsters.
Slowly, an obvious smile appeared in Chiyu's eyes.
Oh, it’s a pearlfish.
It seems that its luck is not that bad?
It can even be said to be very good.
……
The pearl fish likes to be quiet and basically does not move much.
But as long as there are pearl beetles in the water, the water quality is always very good.
Because while cultivating pearls, the pearl fish is also constantly purifying the surrounding water quality.
Although it was not intentional, it brought real benefits to other creatures living in the same waters as it.
Moreover, the pearl fish has a gentle temperament, unlike many monsters that like to fight and be aggressive.
It is always in a state of half asleep and half awake.
Most aquatic monsters like to have beaded fish as neighbors.
……
But the pearl fish is not common, and it has only heard about it from other monsters, but now it has actually encountered one!
Until now, the red carp felt that there was some benefit in following this human back despite the risk of being eaten at any time.
With the pearl fish around, its cultivation can be faster.
The red carp smiled happily, the vigilance in its eyes disappeared, and it swam happily around the pearl fish for a few circles.
……
Seeing this, Xiao Xiao shook his head with amusement.
He knew very well how precious the pearl fish was.
I didn't expect that the red carp, which is also a monster, would be so happy to see the pearl fish.
I was a little bit reluctant before, but now I am willing to do it.
The beautiful woman with a sharp curved face actually smiled in a silly way.
Xiao Xiao knocked on the wall of the fish tank, "Hello, my name is Xiao Xiao."
It was not convenient to do so outside before, so I didn’t introduce myself yet.
The red carp circled towards Xiao Xiao several times.
……
In the evening, Xiao's mother cooked a fish feast as promised.
Boiled fish fillets, braised fish, steamed fish, Xiao's mother also fried the small fish caught by Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin.
In short, everyone was very satisfied with the meal and enjoyed it very much.
……
"My aunt's cooking skills are so good!"
Xiao Qi's cheeks were bulging from eating so much, and he uttered sincere praises incoherently.
"Uh-huh."
Xiao Lin nodded desperately.
"I don't even want to go home tomorrow."
"Hmm? Has a week already arrived?"
After hearing what Xiao Lin said, Xiao's mother realized that the two children would be going home tomorrow.
"Hey, my mom just called me and I just remembered it."
"I really want to pretend I don't know."
Xiao Lin looked resentful.
"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, grandma, brother, we can't bear to leave you~"
The two siblings were almost in tears.
"You don't want to go home and do your homework, right?" Xiao Xiao curled his lips slightly and pointed out mercilessly.
"What? We've already finished our schoolwork."
Xiao Lin argued with reason.
"That's it."
Xiao Qi strongly agreed.
"Then it's time for us to play."
The two siblings said in unison.
……
"That's right. Children should act like they're on holiday when they're on holiday."
"Grandma~"
Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin have starry eyes.
"I'll call your parents later and tell them to let you stay here for a while."
"Okay~"
"Thank you grandma!"
The two siblings high-fived and cheered.
Seeing that grandma had spoken, Xiao Xiao and the others naturally had no objections.
……
Thanks to grandma's help, Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin were able to stay in Xiao Xiao's house for another week.
The two siblings cheered and were extremely happy.
However, Feifei and Taotie, especially Taotie, had faces filled with bitterness and hatred.
With these two humans around, it has less snacks.
It simply wished that these two humans would disappear from its sight immediately!
……
Xiao Xiao found it somewhat amusing to see Taotie looking at the two siblings with gritted teeth.
Because we have to avoid this energetic brother and sister, some of our actions and words must be more cautious than before.
Moreover, these two siblings are also greedy and have a very sensitive nose. Every time he buys ice cream or other food, these two siblings will immediately appear with a look of surprise on their faces.
Every time he saw Taotie's shocked expression, he found it both funny and a little bit unbearable.
Especially when Taotie saw the "desperate" expressions of the two siblings after they finished eating. If someone who didn't know the truth saw it, they would think that the Taotie had suffered some huge blow.
Finally, Xiao Xiao couldn't stand it anymore, so he bought some delicious food outside, found a secluded place, and let Feifei and Taotie eat first.
Then he went back with the food he bought for the two siblings.
This finally reduced the resentment of a certain Taotie a lot.
……
Xiao Xiao had another task, which was to urge the two siblings to complete their daily homework.
Although their uncle and aunt agreed to let the two siblings stay at Xiao Xiao's house for another week because of their grandmother's request, their aunt came over the next day and brought Xiao Qi and Xiao Lin's homework books.
……
"Okay, stop frowning."
"One chapter a day can be finished in an hour."
Looking at the two siblings with sad faces, Xiao Xiao said with a smile.
In fact, he also understood that in the eyes of the two people who were on vacation, even doing homework for fifteen minutes would be disgusting, let alone an hour.
"Really annoying."
Xiao Lin lay on the table.
"Uncle and aunt are also worried that you guys will have too much fun and won't be able to adjust to school when school starts."
Xiao Xiao comforted.
"Xiao Lin, look, Xiao Qi has already started doing it."
Xiao Xiao motioned Xiao Lin to look at Xiao Qi on the side.
"Finish it sooner and get it over with sooner."
Xiao Qi muttered.
"Ah."
Xiao Lin also began to write furiously.
For a moment, the only sound in the room was the sound of writing.
……
Xiao Xiao didn't keep watching the two siblings while they were doing their homework.
He took out his book and began to read.
The sun is shining outside the window, the sky is pure blue, and the clarity and vastness make people feel relaxed and happy.
It is indeed a nice weather that makes people unable to sit still.
Even through the window, people in the house can clearly hear the incessant chirping of cicadas coming from outside, "cicada~cicada~".
