[Quick Transmigration] The Clingy Spirit of the Blackened Male Supporting Character - Chapter 86

After playing enough in the water, Luo Ning crawled up from the shore. Droplets of water slid down to the ground. His long fair thighs glistened in the sunlight, and water droplets from his hair trickled down his face, dripping into the hollow of his collarbone and continuing to slide along his skin. His beautiful waist and slender back and soft body displayed a unique allure.

Lin Ze’s pupils suddenly narrowed. The scene before him caused a tremendous impact. His mind went blank for a moment, then a wave of heat surged in his abdomen, and something felt like it was about to slip from his nose.

The little female seemed to have a deadly attraction. He couldn’t withstand it and hurriedly averted his gaze, his eyes dazed and unfocused.

Luo Ning felt a prickling sensation of being watched. He suspected that Lin Ze was sneaking a look at him. When he turned to check, he found Lin Ze was honestly facing away from him.

Luo Ning frowned. Could it be that he was overthinking things?

He quickly put on his clothes, feeling refreshed, and coughed lightly, saying, “I’m done washing up.”

Lin Ze’s gaze was still dazed. Once he regained his senses, his eyelashes drooped slightly as he pushed the beautiful scene from his mind down. He said in a hoarse voice, “Didn’t you just say you wanted to eat the spiny beast? I’ll go catch some for you.”

Oh right, Luo Ning nodded. He had almost forgotten about the fish. He looked eagerly at Lin Ze as he entered the water. Those fish looked plump, probably with lots of meat and few bones. He was curious about their taste.

The water splashed as Lin Ze gradually submerged himself. The cold temperature seeped in as he completely immersed himself in water, finally relieving the heat in his body. Lin Ze closed his eyes, his dark green eyes turning dark as he suppressed his out-of-control feelings. His snake tail created a powerful pressure in the water, leaving the fish dizzy and floating belly-up on the surface.

Luo Ning’s face lit up with joy. So many fish! Lin Ze had caught them so quickly. He had just put on his clothes and couldn’t go back into the water to retrieve them, so he waited for Lin Ze to bring the fishes to him.

The gray fishes lay sprawled on the shore, unable to move, their bellies sticking out. Luo Ning picked them up. There were so many fish, probably over a hundred. Luo Ning strung them all up with grass rope.

Lin Ze complained about the spiny beast’s meat being too little and tasting strange, but seeing Luo Ning so happy, he silently helped gather the fishes.

“These fishes can last us a long time,” Luo Ning mumbled, thinking that they had been eating roasted meat recently. It would be nice to change things up and make fish soup.

So, Luo Ning began searching for stones by the riverbank. There were ceramic pots in the cave, so making soup was no problem, but if he wanted to fry meat and eggs, he needed a relatively flat stone.

There were many stones by the river in various shapes. Luo Ning quickly found a concave one. He tried to lift it but realized it was too heavy. Acknowledging his own weak physique, he had no choice but to ask Lin Ze for help.

Luo Ning also hung the string of fishes on Lin Ze. Just as he was about to head back, he caught sight of a familiar leaf among the broken grass.

Luo Ning focused intently and immediately stopped moving, turning back. He parted the grass to take a closer look. The slender leaves and bright green stems resembled ginger.

This was the first spice Luo Ning had discovered since arriving here. Thinking that there might be ginger in this place made his eyes light up. He quickly began digging through the dirt. Sure enough, there were clumps of it growing underneath, only it was twice the size of what Luo Ning had expected.

He broke off a piece of ginger and brought it to his nose, inhaling the familiar spicy scent. It was definitely ginger. Luo Ning smiled happily.

Although ginger wasn’t a rare item, it could help with the fishy flavor. He had been eating meat with a strong blood taste recently, so ginger would come in handy now.

Luo Ning hurriedly broke off a large piece to take back with him.

Lin Ze glanced at the dark clump of dirt with a somewhat complicated expression. Why did his little female have such peculiar tastes?

Not only did he like the ugly spiny beast, but he also wanted to collect strange stones and now was digging up these dark clumps of dirt. Was it really that fun? He couldn’t understand, but as long as his little female was happy, that was what mattered.

Lin Ze disdainfully hung the clump of dirt on himself as well. When Luo Ning noticed his expression, he realized he had never eaten ginger before. He laughed and patted him, saying, “Don’t underestimate this stuff. I’ll make something delicious for you when we get back.”

Lin Ze didn’t believe that this strange thing was edible, but as a good beastman, he should indulge his mate, so he pretended to look forward to it and nodded.

Luo Ning pouted, easily seeing through Lin Ze’s insincerity. However, he wasn’t in a hurry. He would know the ginger’s effects when they ate.

That evening, Luo Ning planned to make fish soup. The fish were at their freshest now, and the soup would surely be delicious. He took out the ceramic pot from the cave and had Lin Ze set it over the fire. Although the pot was large, it wouldn’t be enough for Lin Ze, who still needed roasted meat.

The fish was already cleaned, with its guts and scales removed, and then marinated with ginger. Luo Ning first fried the fish in animal fat until the skin became crispy, then added water to simmer, along with a few sweet and sour wild fruits to enhance the flavor.

The snow-white fish meat rolled around the soup like waves, and soon a fragrant aroma wafted up. Not only was it fresh and fragrant, but the red wild fruits added a colorful touch that definitely whetted the appetite.

Lin Ze couldn’t help but turn his gaze, his expression shifting slightly. It did look quite tasty.

No matter what meat it was, he usually just roasted it and had never tried cooking it in such a meticulous, step-by-step way.

Lin Ze noted all the steps. He now understood that his little female enjoyed delicious food and liked to experiment with it. Once he learned how to make it, he could cook it for him. As an excellent beastman, learning to cook was an important step in pleasing his female.

Luo Ning sat down beside him, his voice light and cheerful. “Alright, now we can eat.”

“Try the fish soup and see how it tastes.”

Inhaling the fragrant aroma from the pot, Luo Ning was quite pleased. Like a little cat, he licked his lips. Since coming here, the quality of his meals had steadily declined, and now just the fish soup was enough to make him drool.

Two wooden bowls were filled. Luo Ning took a sip of the soup, his eyes lighting up. There was no fishy taste at all. Instead, it had a sweet fragrance. It was delicious!

Lin Ze imitated him, sipping the soup. His eyes showed surprise. The freshness was very comforting, warming him from the inside out.

He praised, “Ning Ning is amazing! I’ve never eaten something so delicious.”

Luo Ning smiled, his eyes sparkling with joy. It felt like a little tail was wagging behind him. Although he thought Lin Ze was exaggerating a bit, it didn’t stop him from feeling happy.

The fish meat was tender and smooth, and the bones were easy to pick out.

Luo Ning ate until his cheeks were puffed out. He sighed contentedly, “It would be even better with some salt.”

He mentioned it casually, but Lin Ze remembered it. He could eat anything, but he couldn’t let his little female go without. He remembered that the tribes would exchange sea salt every year, not just for tasty roasted meat but also to replenish their strength.

Thinking about the usefulness of sea salt, Lin Ze quietly decided to exchange for some, saying, “Tomorrow, we’ll go find salt.”

Luo Ning looked up in surprise. “Where are we going to find it? Isn’t it troublesome?”

In his mind, unless they were by the sea or had a salt lake, there wouldn’t be any salt.

Lin Ze ruffled his hair. “We can get salt once we leave the forest tomorrow.”

It was true that the tribal trade fair hadn’t started yet, but he remembered that tribes outside seemed to have salt. Lin Ze usually never bothered those tribes.

After all, he was a wandering beast, feared and scorned by all tribes. They usually kept to themselves, and he spent his days hunting and sleeping in the forest. But now he needed sea salt, so he had to make a trip outside.

Luo Ning immediately sat up straight. “Going outside? Can I come too?”

He only knew that the forest was vast and had never seen what was outside. He wanted to go along to satisfy his curiosity and broaden his horizons.

Lin Ze immediately turned serious. “There’s nothing interesting outside. They’re all fierce beastmen who are poor and struggling, barely able to feed themselves.”

He couldn’t let his little female desire the outside world. What if his heart wandered away?

Moreover, he truly believed that the tribes had nothing to offer. Besides having a large population, they had no other advantages, just a heap of trouble.

Luo Ning held onto his arm and spoke softly, “I just want to see what it’s like outside. Please take me with you. Are you going to leave me here alone?”

Hearing his beloved female’s soft coaxing, Lin Ze found it hard to refuse. Besides, it would take a long time just to get out of this forest. A round trip would take at least three days. With so many dangers in the forest, he couldn’t dare to leave Luo Ning alone here.

Although his heart softened, Lin Ze didn’t agree immediately. He wanted to negotiate a bit, his eyes glinting with slyness. He pointed to his lips. “If you give me a kiss, I’ll take you.”

Luo Ning’s face turned red. Without much thought, he hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around Lin Ze’s neck and kissing him. After all, they had kissed so many times before. This one didn’t matter.

Luo Ning’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as he felt the coolness on his lips. Just as he was about to pull away, Lin Ze’s large hands grasped the back of his head, pulling him in forcefully. His tongue slipped into Luo Ning’s mouth, brushing against his teeth and sending a shiver down his spine.

The overwhelming sensation made Luo Ning gasp, his face turning bright red. He felt weak all over and bit Lin Ze in annoyance.

How long had it been? He had been taken advantage of so easily. Where did this lecherous snake get all these tricks? If they really became mates, wouldn’t he be completely devoured?

After negotiating, the next day Lin Ze went out to catch many prey—tigers, rabbits, and even milk-flavored fruits that his female liked which grew deep in the forest and were very popular among the tribes.

Estimating that this was enough, Lin Ze bundled everything together. He was strong enough to carry it. Luo Ning also attempted to weave a backpack. The items were too scattered, so packing them would make it easier.
