I Am A Prodigy

Chapter 576 Maple Moon Lake

After some time, Little Green and Little Grey could be seen running back at high speed, eager to present their achievements. They circled Ye Lingchen while jumping about excitedly.

Behind them were a pack of wolves who were all well trained and showed great caution when they arrived in the area—none of them dared to howl.

Little Green and Little Grey had obviously trained them well, making them behave obediently around humans and keeping their bestial nature in check. Especially when they saw Ye Lingchen, they felt a twinge of respect well up from within their hearts. It was an instinctual response for them as wolves.

Aside from that, this pack of wolves would receive daily training from Little Green and Little Grey, hence growing together.

They placed the spoils of their hunt on the floor, then retreated away.

“Wow, it’s a deer!”

Hao Yun immediately rushed up to the front. “The deers are so cute. How can you eat them?”

“If that’s the case, then you shouldn’t eat it for lunch,” Ye Lingchen suggested nonchalantly.

Hao Yun’s mouth started smacking, then rolled her eyes as she changed her tune. “If I don’t eat it, wouldn’t this deer have died for nothing? I need to give it some worth so that it died for a good cause.”

“There are two more pheasants and ducks. Apart from that, there are also some fish from the sea.” Dong Miaomiao looked around, worried that she would see another dead shark.

“I’m worried that if we continue eating like this, we’ll drive the animals in the forest extinct…”

Little Green and Little Grey’s arrival had upset the balanced ecosystem of this area. Meanwhile, with Ye Lingchen and the others there, the amount of food required would naturally increase. It was a heavy burden on the animals.

“Don’t worry about it. I’ll find a solution to this.” Ye Lingchen smiled. He only needed to voice it out to the Warrior’s Department and it would be a simple task to purchase some wild animals and send them here.

“No need to worry. There’s still a big ocean out there. How can we ever run out of food?” Hao Yun said irresponsibly.

After that, everyone looked at Ye Lingchen with full expectations. Not just the humans, but even the pack of wolves were looking at Ye Lingchen with their pitiful gaze.

Little Green and Little Grey were a lot smarter as they were already heading out to carry some sticks out from the woods.

With that, the pack of wolves was well organized and managed to build a primitive fire pit. After that, they laid on the floor and looked to Ye Lingchen like obedient children.

Little Green and Little Grey stuck around Ye Lingchen, begging for attention.

“Yo, it seems everyone is here.”

Grandmaster Hao’s voice rang out as he walked over laughing. “What a coincidence. Count me in for lunch.”

“Grandfather, just admit that you’re here for a free meal. You call it a coincidence every time. Even I’m feeling embarrassed for you.” Hao Yun could not resist pouting as she retorted.

“Hahaha, the reality is filled with coincidences. Sigh, it’s not like I can help it,” Grandmaster Hao made the excuse without the slightest change in tone. His thick skin was obviously a product of great experience.

Next, all of them focused their gaze on Ye Lingchen.

It could not be helped. Ye Lingchen’s cooking was just too good, and it was unforgettable after the first try. They had not expected his dish to bring out joy from the depths of their soul—it was too unbelievably magical.

They observed the entirety of Ye Lingchen’s cooking process. It was not complicated, but the taste was just magnificent. They even tried to replicate Ye Lingchen’s cooking process. Although the taste did improve, the difference from Ye Lingchen’s cooking was not just a small one.

It was the same grilling process, but why was there such a big difference?

They were left speechless. However, that did not stop them from craving for good food. Whenever Ye Lingchen cooked, they would almost always try their best to get a share.

The same goes for the wolves. Even if just given a bite of meat or a mouthful of soup, that would be worth their trip.

Food was the main priority of the people. No matter who it was, the allure of good food was undeniable. Ye Lingchen felt that if he made a sumptuous meal and used it to propose to a girl, he would most likely be successful.

If he took into account his handsome looks, it would be a guaranteed success.

After they were all satiated, everyone patted their stomach satisfyingly. After a great meal, they enjoyed the wonderful scenery around them with the cool sea breeze. The enjoyment was an experience they could not explain to others.

Although the pack of wolves did not get much of a share, they still left fully satisfied, making their way into the forest in search of food.

“Grandfather, when will you be done with the construction? You need to hurry it up. Your granddaughter here is exposed to the sun all day long without even a bed. Look at me, all tan from the sun,” Hao Yun complained as she laid down comfortably on the grass and shut her eyes.

“Lingchen, why don’t we design a house right here? I can stay near the herb field. That way I can care for these herbs,” Dong Miaomiao asked eagerly while batting her eyes at Ye Lingchen.

She treated the herbs as her own children and naturally felt the need to watch over them all the time. Moreover, herbs needed great care and she dared not let her guard down. With the herbs growing so wonderfully, it filled her heart with great joy.

Ye Lingchen gave it some thought, then nodded. “That sounds good. I’ll have Little Green and Little Grey’s kennel here as well then.”

“I want to stay in an ocean view house,” Hao Yun suddenly suggested enthusiastically, “God Ye, what do you think about my suggestion? Build an ocean view house that faces the ocean. The surroundings would be wonderful. It’d be perfect.”

Ye Lingchen could not be bothered with her. ‘What a dummy. Facing the ocean? Staying in the ocean view home would probably have one worried to death. The sea breeze is very corrosive.’

“Forget about the ocean view. There’s a big river in the middle of the island. Little Boy Ye was planning to build a lake view villa over there,” Grandmaster Hao said with a laugh.

“Is it near Maple Moon Lake?” Hao Yun’s enthusiasm kicked in.

Maple Moon Lake was located in the heart of the island. The name was given by Ye Lingchen due to its shape vaguely resembling the moon. Ye Lingchen planned to develop it properly and turn it into a real half-moon shape, after which he would plant rows of maple trees on the sides of the lake. That was why he named it Maple Moon Lake.

Hao Yun had naturally seen said location. Although it was still undeveloped, the lake’s water was clear, acting like a mirror that reflected the clear blue skies. With the wide lake surface, it shimmered under the sun, giving her quite the impression.

That was where Old Tortoise was living.

If she could live there, that would definitely be awesome!

Seeing Grandmaster Hao nod, Hao Yun’s face turned red from her excitement. “Ahhh, I want to stay there.”

“One billion,” Ye Lingchen calmly stated a price.

Hao Yun went silent, then turned around to look at Ye Lingchen with a dreadful glare while puffing her cheeks. However, not only did she look unintimidating, it made her look slightly cute. That was the issue of being too beautiful.

Ring ring ring.

The phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, Ye Lingchen smiled and answered the call.

“Xiaoyan, do you have some good news to share with me?”
