The Necromancer's Fourth Catastrophe-Chapter 294: Heart’s Delight (First Update)

Not long after, Xia Lin walked out of the Ancient Castle again.

At this moment, she was wearing clothes that Fang Ka had prepared for her in advance.

Fang Ka didn’t keep many clothes, and what he wore now were basically left behind by Kain.

The clothes prepared for Xia Lin were his own previous clothes.

This was a white robe, once Fang Ka’s favorite.

Because of Fang Ka’s slender and tall figure, wearing it now on Xia Lin accentuated her curves, making her look exceptionally attractive.

There was a flash of admiration in Fang Ka’s eyes.

As a normal man, he naturally liked looking at beautiful women.

However, meditation cultivation was most important for now, and after all, he would see her every day in the future.

So he nodded lightly, "Hmm, I didn’t expect my clothes to fit you so well."

"I placed a bookshelf in your room, filled with books, all carefully picked alchemy books for you. You can read them when you have time."

"Of course, meditation cultivation is the priority."

He didn’t intend to open the Underground Library to anyone, as all the control of the Magic Array on the Island was inside; it was only safe completely in his hands.

This is not a matter of trust but a very necessary precaution.

After listening to Fang Ka’s words, Xia Lin immediately nodded with a smile, "Okay, Mentor Fang Ka, I’ll go back to read now."

As she finished speaking, Xia Lin’s gaze lingered on Fang Ka’s face for a moment, then she turned around and walked back into the Ancient Castle.

When Xia Lin had entered the Ancient Castle, Fang Ka retracted his gaze from her back and continued his meditation.

By dinner time, the merfolk brought the meal over and placed it on the table in the living room on the first floor of the Ancient Castle.

Fang Ka glanced at the dishes on the table and then spoke up, "Add one more serving. Xia Lin will be living here from now on; her meals will be delivered here in the future."

Hearing Fang Ka’s words, this merfolk was slightly stunned, then immediately nodded, "Yes, Lord Fang Ka, I understand."

Fang Ka had now replaced all the chefs with merfolk.

Because the players couldn’t always be chefs, they had more important things to do.

So Fang Ka had arranged a dozen merfolk earlier, who observed earnestly when those players cooked.

Fang Ka also gave the players a task, allowing them to slow down while cooking and teach the merfolk at the same time.

Once those merfolk mastered cooking and learned the dishes, the task would be complete.

Thus, a group of merfolk chefs was cultivated afterward.

Since then, the chefs on Kain Island were completely replaced by merfolk.

Soon, the merfolk returned with another serving of food and placed it on the table again.

Fang Ka glanced at it and then gestured with a wave of his hand, signaling them to leave.

After they left, Fang Ka headed upstairs.

Soon, he arrived at Xia Lin’s room, and the door was not closed.

At this moment, Xia Lin was sitting at a simple desk, holding a thick book in both hands and looking at it earnestly.

The beautiful silhouette highlighted by the sunset glow through the window made her appear quiet and graceful.

"Mentor Fang Ka, is there something you need?" At this time, Xia Lin evidently sensed Fang Ka standing at the door and turned her head with a playful question.

Hearing her question, Fang Ka pointed downstairs, "Dinner has been served; come down and eat with me."

"In the future, our meals will be together."

Hearing Fang Ka’s question, Xia Lin gently placed the book in her hand on the desk, then got up from the chair.

The two walked downstairs together, and after sitting at the dining table, Fang Ka asked, "By the way, Xia Lin, since you moved over, are all your people taken care of?"

Xia Lin took a bite of meat and said, "There’s no problem, Mage Fang Ka, I’ve pretty much arranged everything."

"I divided the tribe’s affairs to a dozen merfolk, each responsible for different matters. If anything major happens, they’ll come to the Ancient Castle to report to me."

"However, on this Kain Island, it seems unlikely there would be any major issues." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Upon hearing this, Fang Ka said no more and started eating quietly.

At this moment, Xia Lin suddenly reached over with her chopsticks and placed a piece of tenderloin onto Fang Ka’s wooden plate.

Chopsticks were something Fang Ka taught the merfolk to use and had long been popularized; now, the merfolk used chopsticks for dining.

Seeing the piece of tenderloin added to his plate, Fang Ka frowned slightly, then looked up at Xia Lin, "Hmm?"

Xia Lin immediately revealed a gentle smile, "Mentor Fang Ka, this is really tasty, you should have more."

Fang Ka was silent for a moment, then picked up the piece of tenderloin and put it in his mouth.

The action Xia Lin took just now reminded him of that old guy Kain.

He had also taught Kain how to use chopsticks; every time they ate together, old Kain would always pick food for Fang Ka before eating himself.

Fang Ka couldn’t help but tighten his grip on the chopsticks, taking a deep breath.

One day, he would burn the culprit to ashes and scatter them over Kain’s body.

"Mentor Fang Ka... what’s wrong with you... you don’t seem happy..." Seeing Fang Ka lowering his head in silence, Xia Lin asked anxiously.

She was a bit worried that Fang Ka was angry with her, thinking she was overstepping.

Upon hearing Xia Lin’s voice, Fang Ka snapped back and smiled, "It’s nothing, just reminiscing about some past matters, keep eating... Hmm, the tenderloin is indeed nice."

Hearing Fang Ka’s words, Xia Lin finally breathed a small sigh of relief, "Mentor Fang Ka..."

"Hmm?" Fang Ka slightly raised his head to look at Xia Lin.

At this moment, Xia Lin suddenly made a funny face, then blushed to the roots of her ears, "Erm... Mentor Fang Ka, do you feel a bit happier now?"

Fang Ka looked at Xia Lin incredulously, not expecting the usually graceful and elegant Xia Lin to resort to such a silly act just to cheer him up.

After a brief pause, a smile appeared on Fang Ka’s face, "Much better, but... Xia Lin, you were quite silly just now..."

"Really? Oh..." Xia Lin’s face flushed like fire, quickly lowering her head to eat.

Seeing Fang Ka’s smile from the corner of her eye, her blushing face couldn’t help but reveal a sweet smile.

This was the longest meal Fang Ka had ever had.

After eating, Fang Ka instructed the two message-carrying merfolk outside the Ancient Castle to clear away the dishes and take them to the kitchen, and also to dine there.

Then he continued his meditation.
