Beauty and the Bodyguard

The pig had no choice but to return to the five fiends mountain range ...

Qiqi's mental state was getting worse and worse these days, her face pale. Other than eating, she spent most of her time lying on the ground ...

Lin Yi saw that, but he couldn't do anything about it.

Today was the twentieth day, and if she still couldn't leave, Qiqi might ... Lin Yi didn't want to think about it anymore.

"Qi Qi, what do you think? Are you hungry?" Lin Yi had been chatting with Qiqi since early in the morning, but Qiqi didn't respond to him the most. She was too weak to talk.

"Are you hungry? I think I'm famished ... But I don't want to eat grilled fish anymore-it's too dry, I can't eat it ... I want something else ..."Qiqi said weakly.

"I don't want to eat ... But there's only grilled fish here!" To tell the truth, Lin Yi was getting sick of all the food he'd been eating these past few days as well-he ate very little, but he was a spiritual practitioner, and he had the Jade to replenish his energy. Qiqi, on the other hand, couldn't rely on the Qi of heaven and earth-she had to rely on food.

"Then I won't eat it ..." Qiqi closed her eyes after that.

"Alright, I'll study other ways to make the fish meat as dry as possible." Lin Yi said after some thought.

"En ... Thank you ..." Qiqi was very touched-Lin Yi's meticulous care these past few days had made her like him a lot more. It wasn't the kind of love between a man and a woman, but she saw him as her closest partner.

"Hehe, it's fine." Lin Yi got up and went to fish, thinking about how to keep the fish's water content as he walked. There was no pot here, and there was no pit for a pot. Even a Big Dipper might not be able to make a hole in this hard ground, let alone Lin Yi.

And so, Lin Yi decided that cooking fish was out of the question-he'd have to think of something else ... Suddenly, his eyes stopped on the lake not far away!

The soil by the lake was dirt, but it was the area right next to the lake-Lin Yi couldn't dig a hole there, nor could he heat the entire Lake with the fire. He remembered one of his isolated island Survival training sessions when he was young, and he wrapped the fish in mud and roasted it with fire. When the mud was removed, the fish was fresh and tender-it wasn't dry at all, and all the moisture was retained!

Lin Yi had gotten some inspiration from the beggar's chicken-he'd made this mud fish back on the island, and it tasted pretty good. He decided to go back to his old business and make this for Qiqi.

Lin Yi cleaned the fish up by the lake and dug up some mud from the lake. He wrapped the fish up and started roasting it.

Half an hour later, Lin Yi returned to where he and Qiqi were resting with a pile of mud balls.

"Qi Qi, get up and eat something good!" Lin Yi said as he put the mud balls on the ground.

"Ah? What delicious food ... Eh? What is this?" Qiqi looked at the mud ball Lin Yi threw on the ground-she didn't know what to eat.

"This is called mud fish. Break the hard mud on the outside and reveal the fresh and tender fish inside. You can eat it. The result of roasting this way is that the moisture won't be dried." "I thought you didn't want to eat grilled fish?" Lin Yi asked.

"Ah ..." Qiqi's eyes went wide at Lin Yi's explanation, stunned and in disbelief. She looked at the mud ball on the ground, lost in thought and didn't say anything ...

"What's wrong? Never seen it before? It's actually very delicious. Let me show you!" Lin Yi thought that Qiqi didn't dare to eat it, so he picked up a mud ball and broke it-the White meat was revealed, and it was really fresh and delicious, with all the moisture still inside."Here you go!"

Lin Yi said as he handed the meat to Qiqi.

"Yes ..." Qiqi felt like she had returned to her childhood. Back then, her father had given them a survival test on a deserted island, throwing her and her team on different locations on different deserted islands. Qiqi was very lucky to be thrown on the same Island as her big brother Yi. Of course, she didn't know if it was her Father's plan.

There was no food or drinking water on the deserted island. It was not as good as this Valley. However, brother ah Yi used a plastic bag to collect the dew on the leaves as drinking water. He also caught fish in the sea and roasted it for her.

It was also after many days of eating that Qiqi didn't really like grilled fish anymore, and so she asked big brother Yi for a change of taste. And so, big brother Yi racked his brains and made her this mud-wrapped grilled fish-it was fresh and juicy, and it left a fresh memory in Qiqi's mind!

What she remembered was not only the deliciousness of the grilled fish, but also the beautiful memories of big brother ah Yi's care for her! Qiqi's heart was already set on him at the time.

At this moment, at the bottom of the cliff, Qiqi saw the deliciousness from her memories once more, and she couldn't help but be filled with emotions. The people who made it were different, but they all took care of her so much ...

Qiqi took a small bite of the fish, and the taste brought tears to her eyes. It was the same taste as in her memory, and she felt like she was back to her childhood, back to that deserted island. Her tears fell down her face and onto the fish, but she didn't care, and continued to eat it carefully ...

This fish wasn't just a delicacy. It was a form of longing and concern ...

Qiqi's tears, on the other hand, startled Lin Yi! No matter how bad the mud fish was, it shouldn't be so bad that it cried, right? Lin Yi scratched his head, not sure what to do. Xiaoxiao used to say it was good when she ate it when they were kids. Could it be that after so many years, his skills had deteriorated?

Although the Qi of the five evils had invaded her body, and she was so weak that she was about to faint, she was very happy at this moment.

But what surprised him even more was that the fish didn't taste good ... Why was Qiqi eating so fast? Could it be delicious? Then what was she crying for? Could it be that she was afraid that the Qi of the five evils would cause her to die?

Lin Yi thought about it and felt that it was most likely the case. He quickly consoled,"Qiqi, don't cry. I'm here. We'll be fine. We won't die. Don't worry ... If you die, I won't be able to explain it to master!"

Lin Yi's meaning was clear-he was from that assassin group, and he was his master's direct disciple. If his master found out that his fellow disciples from the assassin group died by his side, Lin Yi would be embarrassed. (To be continued.)
