God's Gift

Chapter 531 Evil Wizard

Upon seeing the pupu, the little fish stopped its backward movement, its eyes fixed on the pupu, yet it dared not open its mouth to catch it.

The man and the fish remained locked in a stalemate.

After a long while, under the gentle gaze of the human, the little fish slowly swam towards him, opened its mouth carefully, picked up Pupu, and put it back on its back.

The man didn't lie to it like before, which made the little fish lower its guard a bit.

She rolled her eyes at Lu Keming, a hint of curiosity in them, and tentatively asked:

Would you eat children?

"Eat children?" Lu Keming was taken aback by this inexplicable question. A look of confusion appeared in his eyes as he asked in bewilderment:

Why do you think I would eat children?

"Aren't you an evil wizard?" The little fish swam around Lu Keming, scanning him from head to toe with detective-like eyes, its voice impassioned:

"Only an evil wizard knows the names of all the children in the world."

She swam in front of Lu Keming, her two huge eyes staring at him, and shouted in a deliberately terrifying voice:

"Mom said that evil wizards eat up naughty children!"

Lu Keming stared blankly at Yu Youyou, remaining silent for a long time.

After a while, he raised his hand again to cover his chest.

How can she be so cute?

The little fish watched the human's actions, her expression turning to confusion. She began to doubt her own judgment; how could an evil wizard be such a dull and foolish human?

She gave a soft hum, blew out a bubble, and turned to swim away.

Before the little fish swam away, Lu Keming finally spoke, asking with a smile, "So, are you a disobedient child?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu stiffened. She turned to look at Lu Keming, and her judgment began to waver again.

Could he really be an evil wizard?

Little Fish tensed up and immediately said, "Of course I'm an obedient child!"

Lu Keming raised an eyebrow. Xiaoyu, seeing his gaze, assumed this all-knowing, evil wizard had seen through her lie, so she added, making matters worse:

"Most of the time..."

Looking at Xiaoyu's awkward manner, Lu Keming's smile deepened, and he nodded, suppressing a laugh.

"Okay, you're a good boy, I won't eat you."

"Really!" Little Fish exclaimed in surprise. She breathed a sigh of relief, her tail wagging happily like a puppy. She swam around Lu Keming a few more times, carefully examining him.

"So you really are an all-knowing evil wizard!"

“I am not evil.” Lu Keming did not rush to explain to Xiaoyu that he was not an evil wizard, but it was necessary to dispel Xiaoyu’s fear of him.

"Really?" Xiaoyu was a little doubtful, but when she saw the kind smile on Lu Keming's face, her doubts gradually disappeared.

That's true; the evil wizard certainly wouldn't return Bubu to her, nor would he want to be friends with her.

She nodded and said in a clear voice, "So you're a kind wizard."

Lu Keming's smile widened, and he asked, "So, are we friends now?"

"Hmm..." Xiaoyu pondered for a long time, then looked at the hand he had just "shaked hands" with, and finally nodded: "We are friends now."

Lu Keming's smile deepened. Seeing the curious look in Xiaoyu's eyes, he quickly took off the shiny pure gold chain from his clothes and handed it to Xiaoyu.

"You've been staring at this, do you like it? Here you go."

The little fish stared wide-eyed at the generous human, and after confirming that he was going to give it to it, it happily swam over, saying, "Thank you!"

She pointed her fin toward Lu Keming, "Please hang it on my hand!"

“Okay.” Lu Keming smiled and obediently put the chain on the little fish’s hand.

After the chain was attached, the little fish glanced back at her fins, the sparkling chain making them shimmer. She cheered and happily swam around Lu Keming several times.

After a while, she looked at the dragon ring on Lu Keming's finger again.

Lu Keming followed her gaze to the ring on his finger, his eyes pausing slightly.

No wonder Youyou always bites his hand; it turns out she's interested in the Dragon Ring.

Lu Keming looked at young Youyou, a hint of conflict in his eyes, but ultimately refused her.

He shook his head and said to the little fish, "I can't give this to you."

"This is my wedding ring. It's very important to me. You will also have your own ring someday."

"Marriage?" Xiaoyu stared wide-eyed at Lu Keming, puzzled.

"Marriage is..." Lu Keming thought of Youyou's mother, whom she always mentioned, and explained it to her in a way that would be easier for her to understand:

"Just like your parents, after they get married, they stay together forever."

"Oh..." Little Fish finally understood what he meant. Thinking of her parents who were always inseparable, she nodded in sudden realization and asked:

"Will the person you marry be a human like my mother?"

Lu Keming hesitated for a moment, looking at the little fish and recalling the image of Xiao Ou in his memory, before answering hesitantly:

"She doesn't look very much like your mother."
