There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

Chapter 84: The Title Girl Has Been Taken Away

Not knowing how long it would take for Wayne to catch the fish, Lu Qing glanced at the Ring of Penetration in her hand, then at the prison walls beside her.

"How about we take a look at the other side of the cell?" Lu Qing couldn't help but think.

Doing whatever came to mind, Lu Qing went to another wall and placed the Ring of Penetration on it.

As before, the runes on the Ring of Penetration lit up, and Lu Qing released her hand, but the ring did not fall off the wall.

The wall encircled by the ring blurred for a moment, and soon revealed the scene inside the cell to Lu Qing.

Inside the cell, a slightly thin lion lay on the ground with its eyes closed, its body rising and falling with its even breathing.

After watching for a while, Lu Qing silently took off the Ring of Penetration, and the wall instantly returned to its original state.

Lu Qing wasn't interested in watching lions, and she didn't want the lion living next door to know that its neighbor was a human.

Holding the Ring of Penetration in her hand, Lu Qing suddenly looked at the ground beneath her feet and had a sudden thought:

"Can I use the Ring of Penetration to penetrate the ground?"

If Lu Qing were standing on the ground, she definitely wouldn't have such thoughts. After all, the range of the Ring of Penetration is limited; it can't just be placed on the ground and penetrate the earth's core.

But she's in the sky right now, and the entire Demon King's Castle is floating in the air. If the ground beneath her isn't very thick, the Ring of Penetration should be able to see down there.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing sat up and placed the ring on the ground.

The next moment, the Ring of Penetration took effect. The area on the ground covered by the Ring of Penetration gradually became blurred, but it was not immediately penetrated.

After a short while, the part of the ground in the center of the Ring of Penetration slowly disappeared, revealing the azure sea below.

Lu Qing brought her face close to the ring and looked down at the sea. After activating Eagle Vision, she immediately spotted Wayne flying over the sea.

Vi was seen moving rapidly above the sea, his scarlet eyes fixed on the surface, as if searching for something.

Lu Qing waited for a while and then saw Wayne suddenly plunge from the surface of the sea into the seabed, splashing water everywhere.

The next moment, Wayne burst out of the seawater. His wet feathers did not affect his flight at all. He grabbed a large, pure white fish with his claws and flew upwards.

Lu Qing turned off Eagle Vision and eagerly went to the iron bars, waiting for Wayne to arrive.

"Gah, here's the fish you wanted!" Wayne said, holding the fish and walking to the edge of the iron bars, extending his claws.

"Thank you."

As Lu Qing took the fish from Wayne's claws, she was about to say something when the fish began to struggle violently, almost falling out of her arms.

She quickly hugged the fish tightly, but as she looked at it, she suddenly found herself in a dilemma.

She was too hungry to think about it before, but now that she has the fish in her hands, she realizes that she doesn't seem to have any cooking tools at all.

Eating it raw is not actually impossible. There is a dish called sashimi, which obviously means that raw fish can be eaten directly.

The problem is, she doesn't even have a knife. She can't exactly tear the raw fish apart with her bare hands, and biting into it directly is a bit unrealistic.

Suddenly, Lu Qing thought of her neighbor, the Ice Demon Beast.

Judging from what Wayne said this morning, Ice Demon Beast must have helped her. Does that mean that Ice Demon Beast can actually be trusted?

"It's just letting the Ice Demon Beast get to know Vein, it's not a big problem." Lu Qing glanced at Vein standing by the window and thought to herself.

Picking up the Ring of Penetration from the ground, Lu Qing placed it back on the wall of the Ice Beast's room.

"Mr. Ice Beast, are you there?" Lu Qing asked the Ring of Penetration.

"I'm here."

The Ice Beast's voice came from the Ring of Penetration. Lu Qing looked into the Ring of Penetration and saw that the Ice Beast seemed to have woken up and was wandering around the room at will.

The Ice Demon Beast glanced at Lu Qing and asked with some confusion:

"Where did the fish on you come from?"

“I had my summoned creature capture it.” Lu Qing beckoned to Wayne, signaling him to come over.

Seeing this, Wayne reluctantly flew over and landed on Lu Qing's arm.

“His name is Wayne. Don’t call him a crow, or he’ll get angry,” Lu Qing introduced to the Ice Demon Beast.

Silently swallowing the word "crow" that was about to come out, the Ice Demon Beast nodded and said, "I see, a bird summon. So, what do you plan to do with this fish?"

"There's no fire or pot in the cell, but I can make some ice for you."

"Um, all I need is a knife, an ice blade," Lu Qing said.

“Okay.” The Ice Beast agreed, and the next moment, a sharp ice blade emerged from its body and was handed over through the Ring of Penetration.

"Thanks,"

After thanking her, Lu Qing took the ice skate.

The ice blade felt cool to the touch, and it was somewhat slippery, just like jade. Although Lu Qing had never touched jade before, that was the only way she could describe it.

There was no freezing sensation in her hands. Lu Qing believed this must be the Ice Demon Beast's doing, but how would she know the underlying principle?

Although somewhat unexpected, it was a good thing, dispelling Lu Qing's original idea of ​​covering her hand with her sleeve to hold the knife.

Lu Qing twirled the ice blade in her hand, then placed the fish on the somewhat worn wooden table in the room, holding it down with one hand to prevent it from struggling and falling to the ground.

"Amitabha, Fish, go in peace. I will give you a quick death."

Muttering a slogan whose meaning she didn't understand in her previous life, Lu Qing gripped her ice blade, preparing to kill the fish as quickly as possible.

However, she had never handled live fish before and didn't know how to kill them without any pain.

"If you just chop off his head with one stroke, he should die a quick and easy death, right?" Lu Qing thought somewhat uncertainly.

Lu Qing couldn't think of any other way. She raised the knife, ready to do as she wanted.

"call........"

Taking a deep breath, Lu Qing's expression gradually became serious. She looked at the fish struggling on the table, her gaze gradually locking onto its swaying head.

"Shh!"

With a sudden slash, the ice blade struck the fish precisely between its head and body, separating them in an instant.

Ignoring the blood gushing from her wound, Lu Qing felt that her slash had been exceptionally smooth and that she was in remarkably good condition.

At the same time, the information on the notice board refreshed rapidly, with two lines of text appearing from the top.

[Basic dagger skill proficiency increased by 20%!]

Current skill: Basic Dagger (Learning progress: 60%)

Chapter 85: Shall we build a snowman?

"Does this also increase skill proficiency?"

Seeing the information that appeared on the notice board, Lu Qing felt a little strange.

Although she was in good condition just now, and because of the iron chain on her arm, she took a little longer to think about how to strike, she really didn't expect her skill proficiency to reach 60% directly.

"It should have been almost there anyway," Lu Qing thought, and then put the matter out of her mind.

Of all things under the heavens and earth, eating is the most important thing. Lu Qing, whose stomach was aching from hunger, was about to reach her limit.

With a few swift strokes of her ice blade, Lu Qing sliced ​​the entire fish into pieces in just ten minutes. As for the inedible internal organs, bones, and head, Lu Qing threw them out through the iron window.

Anyway, there's the ocean below, so there's no need to worry about environmental pollution or people getting hurt.

"I have a feeling it won't taste very good..."

Looking at the snow-white fish slices in front of her, Lu Qing felt somewhat disgusted.

She had never eaten raw meat in either of her two lifetimes. Growing up in an environment where she was exposed to the idea that raw meat was unhygienic.

Well, no, that's not right either. This stuff is unhygienic to begin with, and it probably doesn't taste very good either.

After all, in Lu Qing's memories of her previous life, sashimi was meant to be eaten with sauce. Obviously, without sauce, it probably wouldn't taste very good.

"Gurgle..."

A growl came from her stomach, and Lu Qing touched her belly, swallowing hard, feeling a little guilty.

After staring at the fish for a couple more seconds, Lu Qing reached out a hand, slowly picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth.

The fishy smell wasn't as strong as she had imagined. Perhaps because she was very hungry, Lu Qing didn't find the fish in her mouth particularly unpalatable.

It certainly wasn't delicious; Lu Qing hated the fishy smell inside, finding it nauseating.

While eating fish, Lu Qing glanced at the ice blade she had placed aside, then shifted her gaze to the ice demon beast, asking with some curiosity:

"If Mr. Ice Beast's abilities are still usable, why not try to escape from the cell?"

"I can only create ice of ordinary strength right now. At most, I can add the property of not melting to this ice. It's impossible for it to cut through the iron fence," the ice beast replied after hearing Lu Qing's words.

"Like this ice skate?" Lu Qing asked, picking up the ice skate from the table.

"Well, because it won't melt, it won't absorb heat when you touch it, so you won't feel cold," the Ice Beast explained.

"I see."

Looking at the ice knife in her hand, Lu Qing glanced at her clothes and realized there was nowhere to carry it, so she had to give up the idea of ​​hiding it in her clothes.

"and many more."

Lu Qing looked at Wayne and thought that she could let Wayne put the ice blade into the space he carried with him later.

But we'll talk about this later; there's no rush.

After swallowing the last piece of sashimi, Lu Qing wiped her mouth and sat on the stone chair, lost in thought.

"Hey, Mr. Ice Beast, did you build that snowman?" Lu Qing asked, looking at the snowman in the Ice Beast's room.

"I built it." The Ice Demon Beast looked at the snowman in the corner of the room and asked:

"I made this when I was bored. What do you think? Isn't it cute?"

"Yes, very cute." Lu Qing nodded.

Although the Ice Beast's face didn't change at all, Lu Qing could tell from its voice that it loved the snowman.

"Mr. Ice Beast, do you really like snowmen?" Lu Qing asked tentatively.
