Chapter 42
Ji Peilin always leaves at a fixed time every day.
The same is true today.
However, today's Ji Peilin did not go to work that seemed to be endless, but went to a high place and looked in the direction of the lake.
The water of the lake is very clear, reflecting the blue sky, like a beautiful gem set in the green earth.
Bai Yu is in the lake.
When Ji Peilin was there, Bai Yu would emerge from the water from time to time to have a "friendly" interaction with Ji Peilin.
After Ji Peilin left, Bai Yu dived into the water and appeared near the woods not long after.
The lake is large, half deep into woodland, and is one of the important sources of water for animals in those woodlands.
Many of the animals distributed in this forest were specially brought by Ji Peilin to keep them there, and then they developed freely during their term of office.
Bai Yu fluctuated from time to time near the woods, as if he was "detecting the enemy's situation".
Because of the secrecy, those animals who went to the lake to drink water were not frightened.
Bai Yu has been doing something like this for a few days.
Ji Peilin was also curious about what Bai Yu's purpose was.
It doesn't matter that nothing has changed.
For Ji Peilin, just watching Bai Yu swim around like this is a very pleasant thing.
However, after many days of "investigation" for Bai Yu today, it is clear that he has already made up his mind.
Bai Yu, who sank in the water again, picked a slightly empty place when he emerged again, and after a brief observation of the surroundings, he climbed a little on the shore.
By the way, he dragged the aquatic creatures he was holding onto the shore and placed them in a more delicate position.
This position will not be too close to the lake, allowing the living creatures in the water to bounce back quickly, nor will it be too far from the lake, making Bai Yu out of reach for a long time.
In order to ensure that the living creature cannot be moved, Bai Yu still placed some stones, aquatic plants and other things around the living creature, and even dug some holes.
Although he could only see a rough idea because of the distance, and he had to make up his own mind for many pictures, Ji Peilin could not help frowning slightly when he thought of Bai Yu's beautiful hands digging holes in the grass.
That's a very crude "trap", but enough for Bai Yu.
After doing all this, Bai Yu returned to the water and started fishing law enforcement.
The lake surface returned to calm in a very short period of time, and the location of Bai Yuzang was also very particular. Even Ji Peilin, who was standing at a high place, had difficulty finding where Bai Yu was.
Waiting like this is a long time, so long that it makes people wonder if Bai Yu is still in the lake.
Except for the sound of blowing branches and leaves, and the occasional sound of living creatures jumping in the trap, there was nothing left.
If it were a previous life, Bai Yu would naturally not have this kind of patience, and had always maintained the same movements and a high degree of attention to changes in the surrounding environment, alerted to possible changes, and looked for opportunities to kill with one hit.
But "patience" is definitely a very important virtue for Bai Yu after becoming a mermaid.
He just stayed in the water so quietly, watching the changes on the shore, while listening carefully.
He is waiting...
Waiting for the prey you want.
For wild animals, useless waiting often happens, but Bai Yu's luck is always good.
Especially under the premise that he has done enough homework.
Soon he found the prey he wanted to wait for.
A different-world animal known as "The Tooth Beast".
It has very prominent and obvious teeth, thick limbs, and not a small tonnage.
Ordinary small animals will avoid it when they see it.
Tooth beasts like to eat fish, but unfortunately their water quality is mediocre.
Now appearing on the shore, seeing the living creatures in the water that don't have much strength to jump between the gaps between the stones and aquatic plants, naturally salivate.
However, it still maintained a certain level of vigilance and did not approach rashly.
After observing around for a while, he stepped forward.
It's just stones and water plants. Of course, there is not much danger. It is just the moment when the tooth beast lowers its head to bite the living thing and relaxes its vigilance.
Bai Yu, who was slowly approaching the shore in the water, opened the corners of his mouth.
Just as he thought, many animals in this place are relatively "naive".
Thinking of this, Bai Yu suddenly broke out of the water and rushed towards the toothed beast.
When the toothed beast didn't react, ten fingers grabbed it, and then the fish tail and both arms were forced at the same time...
After watching from a distance for a long time, Ji Peilin, who almost thought Bai Yu was asleep in the lake, opened his eyes slightly.
He saw an extremely exaggerated picture.
Bai Yu, who was less than half the size of the tooth beast, threw the tooth beast into the lake.
This is far from Bai Yu's usual "weak" appearance.
Even during the time spent in the sea, Ji Peilin had never seen Bai Yu show such...a huge contrast.
Bai Yu rarely spends too much energy on hunting, especially in the sea, and there are a group of seabirds who like to feed Bai Yu.
For a moment Ji Peilin was a little confused, but the toothed beast thrown into the water by Bai Yu struggled and howled extremely loudly at the same time.
The lake in that area was churning like a boiling pot, and it lasted for a long time.
After all, the fighting strength of the tooth beast on land is not small. Ji Peilin was a little worried, so he hurried to the lake.
No matter how contrasting Bai Yu's performance is, to Ji Peilin, Bai Yu still can't get rid of the label of "weak and easy-to-deceive stupid fish".
When he arrived at the lake, the exaggerated churning and splashing in the water had stopped, and Bai Yu raised his head to look at Ji Peilin with a big smile on his face.
The buoyancy of the water makes the large-tonnage beast look less heavy, but it is still a bit difficult to drag.
Just like the mermaid's combat power is halved when it goes ashore, the combat power of these animals on land will also be weakened when they enter the water.
Bai Yu dragged the floating tooth beast to the shore, gestured to Ji Peilin who had a strange expression on his face, and signaled Ji Peilin to find a way to get the tooth beast killed by him ashore for another meal .
This is the prey he picked out after searching the Internet for several days and comparing it with the animals and fish he found in this area for a long time.
Yuwei Ji Peilin's health plan was troublesome and laborious, and there was no ambiguity.
Bai Yu, who would not see Ji Peilin's movement after waiting, looked over strangely.
Could it be that Ji Peilin didn't want to eat the tooth beast?
Picky eating is not a good habit!
Ji Peilin: "..."
It was clear that Bai Yu didn't say anything, but he saw a lot of meaning in Bai Yu's eyes.
It's not that he doesn't want to eat tooth beasts because he's picky eaters.
But looking at this tooth beast that was turned over by Bai Yugan, Ji Peilin had a strange premonition in his heart.
He and Bai Yu came to this manor for a few days.
In the past few days, the food that Ji Peilin imported, many of the food ingredients were contracted by Bai Yu.
The variety can be described as rich.
There are edible aquatic animals or aquatic plants.
Has now expanded from aquatic to terrestrial?
and also……
In the past, what Ji Peilin fed Bai Yu, Bai Yu would eat.
But these few days, Bai Yu has become interested in Ji Peilin's food, and occasionally expresses that he wants to taste it.
Some cooking that requires heavy oil, heavy salt, or extra sugar, was rejected by Bai Yu shaking his head.
In order not to make Bai Yu feel uncomfortable, Ji Peilin naturally adjusted his diet.
The problem is that Bai Yu doesn't seem to like eating food that tastes bland, but he still insists.
Xiaoyu is... caring about him, right?
Worried that he would not be able to eat well, he even exploded with extraordinary strength, knocking over the tooth beast on the land!
——Ji Peilin was very natural, and explained to Bai Yu why he was able to turn the tooth beast.
After all, when it comes to wildlife, food really matters, and so does health.
The way wildlife expresses concern, nature has to do with eating.
Ji Peilin was really moved. Has the range of these foods expanded recently?
Has expanded from aquatic to terrestrial.
The problem is that Xiaoyu really has the ability to get it.
Such behavior is impossible on other mermen.
In the chat group of mermaid breeders who showed off to each other every day, Ji Peilin never saw any mermaid who was so worried about the breeder's meal.
If he said it in the group, it would definitely make the breeders jealous beyond recognition.
only……
It’s just that Ji Peilin somehow thinks of those cats or owls who go out to hunt every day, bring them home, and feed them to their owners.
There is also a scene of a human screaming in horror after waking up to find a dead mouse next to his pillow.
I always feel that if things go further...
No matter what it turns out to be, it shouldn't be as exaggerated as being fed to mice, right?
This doubt reappeared after some wild "flowers" and small rodents were placed at the door early in the morning.
Obviously, Bai Yu sent flowers to Ji Peilin not for Ji Peilin to use them as decorations, but as one of the foods for health preservation.
It's good for tea or stir-fry.
For these flowers, he ventured out of the lake and sneaked ashore to pick them.
Ji Peilin wanted to say that she would not eat...
But when he saw Bai Yu's smug face, he felt that he had a great expression, but he couldn't say it out.
I could only accept it with a full face of emotion, and turned around and ran to post online.
"My master thinks about feeding himself every day, what should I do?"
In order not to cause public outrage, Ji Peilin did not mention that "my master" is a mermaid.
So the netizens who saw this post automatically brought in characters like cats.
So the painting style of replies is very unified.
"Do you need to ask? Of course I ate it!"
"Little kitten is worried about her owner who can't hunt at all."
"Hahahahaha... I died laughing, but I didn't completely die."
"Don't be afraid, landlord, it's better than when I woke up and found a dead snake hidden under my pillow, okay?"
"Upstairs you are really miserable!"
Ji Peilin who read through the replies: "..." As far as the replies from these netizens are concerned, they are of no help...
In the end, Ji Peilin could only bite the bullet and eat the ingredients provided by Bai Yu.
After discovering that the ingredients Bai Yu was looking for tended to develop towards bugs, he immediately used his brains to put some "new ingredients" that he could accept into Bai Yu's hunting range, and the situation finally turned for the better.
Apart from paying attention to food, Bai Yu now likes to take the initiative to interact with Ji Peilin.
In the past, when Bai Yu was a happy house fish, Ji Peilin didn't take the initiative to come to him, he would never take the initiative to find someone.
Now Ji Peilin finds that Bai Yu is like a small alarm clock, coming to interact with him at regular intervals, trying his best to get him to stand up, walk around twice, and move around.
If it was someone else, Ji Peilin would have been angry long ago.
But there is no way, who can be angry with the cute Yuyu?
Anyway, Ji Peilin couldn't.
He even liked the feeling of Xiaoyu interacting with him.
It's just that occasionally Ji Peilin has the illusion that he seems to be a human raised by small fish.
For example at this time.
