I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Reaching an Agreement

“Little thing, are you interested in my two golden loaches?”

Lu Qing saw the black little beast staring at the kitchen and couldn’t help but cover his forehead.

He couldn’t help but guess, it must be.

Because the two golden loaches were placed in the kitchen.

He remembered the way the black little beast circled around him and sniffed his nose just now. It must have smelled the scent of golden loaches on him.

After all, in the evening, he had just transferred the two golden loaches to the water tank and pressed them down with wooden boards to prevent them from jumping out and running away in the middle of the night.

Once the fishy smell sticks to you, it is difficult to get rid of it in a short time.

I didn’t expect this little thing to have such a sensitive nose. Even with the mixed smell of so many fish, it can still distinguish the smell of golden loaches.

The black little beast did not answer, but just looked at Lu Qing quietly.

However, based on the time they spent together, Lu Qing understood what it meant.

It just wanted to eat the two golden loaches.

Lu Qing couldn’t help but have a headache.

“Little creature, let’s make a deal. You can eat as much fish as you want here. If it’s not enough, I’ll get you more. I’ll keep the two golden loaches, okay?”

Lu Qing, unconcerned about whether the black beast could understand his long speech, began to negotiate with it.

However, it wasn’t clear if the black beast was playing dumb or genuinely didn’t understand.

It simply blinked and continued to stare intently at the kitchen behind Lu Qing.

Well, Lu Qing now understood that the little creature was dead set on the golden loach.

Knowing there was no room for negotiation, Lu Qing could only back down.

“One, I can only give you one. I’ll keep the other one for my own use, not for you.”

Lu Qing held up a finger, saying seriously.

The black beast stared at Lu Qing silently for a moment, then finally nodded.

“You really do understand me!”

Seeing the black beast’s actions, Lu Qing couldn’t help but understand.

He had suspected it before, but he had never been sure.

Now, seeing its reaction, he could finally confirm it.

This creature had always understood him, and for so long, it had been playing dumb!

Hearing Lu Qing’s words, the black beast regained its previously adorably calm expression, as if to say, “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

But Lu Qing was no longer fooled by it.

He felt a mixture of amusement and anguish at the thought of being fooled by a small beast for so long. He

returned to the kitchen, lifted the wooden board above the water tank, and pulled out a golden loach. Lu Qing then returned to the courtyard.

“I can only give you one. Do you want it?”

Seeing the golden loach struggling and twisting in Lu Qing’s hands, the black beast’s eyes lit up.

As Lu Qing finished his words, he felt a dark shadow flash before his eyes. His grip loosened, and the golden loach disappeared.

By the time he could see clearly, the black beast was already holding the golden loach, devouring it.

Lu Qing watched it bite off the golden loach’s head in one gulp, and his heart ached.

That was hundreds of taels of silver.

But he saw the little black beast eating with such joy that its eyes narrowed and its tail swayed, appearing extremely happy.

He could only comfort himself.

Forget it, after all, this little thing gave him such a precious hundred-year-old ginseng last night, so it was only right to give it something good to eat, just as a return gift.

The little black beast ate very quickly, and before long, a plump golden loach weighing more than two kilograms fell into its stomach.

After eating the golden loach, the little black beast looked at Lu Qing again.

Lu Qing was startled and quickly said, “That’s all. I need the remaining one, so I can’t give it to you!”

The black beast glanced at Lu Qing, as if disdaining his stinginess, then walked over to the basin of fish and leisurely began to eat.

Lu Qing: …

So you don’t dislike these small fish, but want to eat the delicious ones first.

However, he was relieved to see that the black beast did not continue to ask him for the remaining golden loach.

Fortunately, this little creature was reasonable, otherwise if it really wanted to snatch the other golden loach, Lu Qing would not be able to stop it.

Watching the black beast eating happily, Lu Qing thought for a moment and squatted down.

“Little creature, do you really like eating exotic fish like the one just now?”

After confirming that the black beast could understand him, Lu Qing became interested in communicating.

The beast raised its head and looked at Lu Qing, its eyes sparkling.

Lu Qing quickly said, “I’m not saying I’m going to give you the other golden loach, don’t get me wrong.”

Upon hearing this, the black beast immediately lowered its head to eat the fish and ignored him.

Lu Qing didn’t care. “But just because I can’t give you the golden loach doesn’t mean I can’t give you other exotic fish if I catch them in the future.”

The little beast raised its head again, looking at him with some confusion.

“Little thing, how about we make a deal?” Lu Qing saw its interest and took the opportunity to say, “If I catch another exotic fish like the golden loach, I’ll trade it with you if you can find me the plant roots from last night. How about that?” “

Plant roots from last night?”

The little black beast tilted its head and thought for a moment before realizing that Lu Qing was referring to the grass it had given it the night before.

It had instinctively sensed that the grass seemed special, so it had dug it up and given it to the two-legged beast.

And now it seemed like he liked it?

It remembered that it still had some of that grass growing in its usual area in the mountains.

However, while digging grass wasn’t a difficult task for the little black beast,

it couldn’t agree so easily.

He couldn’t bear to give it even one more fish to eat. Humph!

The little black beast pretended to hesitate for a moment before reluctantly nodding its agreement.

Lu Qing had no idea that a young beast could have such complex thoughts.

He was delighted to see the beast agree.

If the creature could truly dig up a hundred-year-old ginseng, then it wouldn’t matter if he ate all the rare fish he caught in the future.

After all, ginseng was far more valuable to him than rare fish.

And so, both man and beast felt they had gotten a great deal, happily agreeing. Despite

having eaten a golden loach, the black beast devoured all the fish in the basin, leaving with a slightly bloated belly.

Watching the black beast clumsily cross the fence, Lu Qing smiled and shook his head.

It truly loved fish, preferring to eat its fill rather than leave any fish uneaten.

After the beast disappeared, Lu Qing took the basin back to the kitchen, cleaned it, and retired to his room for the night.

A silent night passed.

The next morning, Lu Qing rose and practiced the Yang Shen Quan several times, feeling instantly refreshed.

The Yang Shen Quan was truly a martial art painstakingly created by his master.

As its name suggests, boxing is very effective in conditioning and recuperating the body.

Lu Qing only practiced for two or three days, but he already felt that his physical fitness had improved a lot and his spirits were much more vigorous.

After a simple but nutritious breakfast, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan and carried the golden loach in a bucket to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.

As they went up the mountain, Lu Qing was still a little excited.

According to what the master said before the retreat yesterday, the Qi and Blood Replenishing Pill could be refined today.

With the help of the pill, I believe that he will be able to enter the Qi and Blood Realm in no time.
