Chapter 86: Eating Yao

The rabbit sprawled on the couch was playing Jewel of Atlantis on the tablet. However, his dispirited tail revealed that he was not in very high spirits at the moment. Even so, he still persisted in playing mobile games for an entire afternoon till Zhuang Qing finished preparing dinner.

Smelling the fragrance of food, Fu Li shook his ears, kicked the phone to the side, and jumped off the couch.

Zhuang Qing saw that Fu Li had already obediently seated himself on the chair, his bowl and chopsticks laid out properly. Wasn't he in a bad mood? Why was he in such good spirits when it was meal time? Zhuang Qing thought in a huff. He thought about how he had even hid in the kitchen and used his phone to search about the types of food that could lift a person's mood, and felt like his brain had been infected with Fu Li's stupidity.

What spice or sweet food? It was purely about eating till one was full to bursting.

Fu Li sat on the stool for a long time. Seeing Zhuang Qing glare at him continuously, he asked curiously, "Is the food not done yet?"

"It's done." Zhuang Qing wanted to taunt him a bit more, but the words that came out became, "Some dishes are very spicy, can you handle them?"

"We've even eaten many plates of mala crayfish together, what else is there that I can't eat? It's not like I'm picky," Fu Li swung his short tail. His tail swiped back and forth across the back of the chair, as if it was a brush.

"Yup, you're not picky at all, you just have too many things you dislike eating," Zhuang Qing was angered into laughter by his words. The dishes he carried out from the kitchen covered the entire table. Several dishes that featured fish or shrimp as the main ingredient were placed closest to Fu Li.

Fu Li was stunned by the entire table of dishes. He transformed into his human form. "Zhuang little dragon, were you given prize money?"

Zhuang Qing had just put down the last plate of fruits and sat down when Fu Li uttered these words. He responded expressionlessly, "Ever since working with all of you, I haven't taken any prize money in a very long time."

Fu Li could tell that Zhuang Qing was mocking them, but he wasn't angered. Instead, he revealed a smile. "Thank you."

Although his mouth was harder than anything else, his heart was softer than even cotton candy.

"Don't overthink. I cook like this even when you're not around," Zhuang Qing picked up his chopsticks and deliberately chose an incomparably large, fat shrimp right in front of Fu LI.

But this time, Fu Li didn't scramble with him for it and even voluntarily gave him a good number. Zhuang Qing suddenly felt somewhat unaccustomed to it. He directly placed the peeled shrimp into his mouth without any sauce.

Fu Li didn't notice that he had momentarily forgotten himself. Taking a sip of fruit juice, he told Zhuang Qing, "Zhuang Qing, thank you."

Zhuang Qing's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

"I don't know why the elders from the mountain lied to me, but they treated me very well," Fu Li didn't move his chopsticks. He gazed at the moon outside the window, his train of thought drifting back four thousand years ago.

From birth, he seemed to have understood the languages of all living things in the world. Coupled with the fact that he had gained intelligence, he could be considered knowledgeable from birth. In the past, it was unknown if Elder White Ape had intentionally misled him into misunderstanding the true forms of the yao cultivators on the mountain. Moreover, after he misunderstood, everyone lived in a manner consistent with what he had imagined.
