Chapter 63: Eating Without Gaining Weight?

Upon hearing Mage Fang Ka’s words, Sea Flip immediately suggested on the spot: "Shall I send a portion to the Divine Hall after cooking for you in the future?"Mage Fang Ka appreciatively patted Sea Flip on the shoulder: "Hmm, very clever."

Receiving Mage Fang Ka’s praise, Sea Flip excitedly patted his own chest: "Mage Fang Ka, rest assured, I will do a good job."

Mage Fang Ka said no more, and directly turned back to the front of the Ancient Castle, sat down on a lounge chair, and began to meditate with closed eyes.

Noel hesitantly approached Xia Lin, looking as if she wanted to say something but held back.

Seeing Noel like this, Xia Lin amusedly put the book in her hand on the Alchemy Platform in front of her.

She then reached out and pulled Noel to her side: "What’s the matter, little Noel? If there’s something you want to say, just say it. No need to be shy with me."

Noel sheepishly scratched her head: "Sister Xia Lin, please don’t call me little Noel, I’m not that small. I’m just a bit more than a year younger than you."

"Well... I heard from the clansmen coming back from the Divine Hall... they said..."

Xia Lin looked curiously at Noel in front of her, reached out and patted her shoulder: "Little Noel, what about the clansmen coming back from the Divine Hall? Just say it."

Noel hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Well... I heard from those returning clansmen that when they are on duty, Lord Fang Ka arranges for his subordinates to deliver meals to them..."

"Those dishes are extremely delicious, nothing like what we eat, so..."

Xia Lin suddenly realized.

She knew Noel very well; she was quite a foodie.

Her meal portions were usually several times that of a normal clansperson. When she saw something she could eat, she wanted to try it.

Xia Lin hesitated a little, then said: "Okay, little Noel, I’ll go talk to Lord Fang Ka to see if he can arrange your meals."

Noel’s eyes lit up slightly, and she hugged Xia Lin’s arm tightly, shaking it: "I knew Sister Xia Lin was the best to me~"

Feeling the softness coming from her arm and looking at Noel acting spoiled in front of her, Xia Lin smiled helplessly: "Can’t resist your cute ways, you’re the only one who gets away with acting spoiled with me."

Noel flashed a brilliant smile: "Mother said that merfolk who know how to act spoiled have the best fates."

Xia Lin’s eyes showed a trace of indulgence as she rubbed Noel’s head: "Alright, go cultivate, I’ll talk to Lord Fang Ka later."

"Mm-hmm~" Noel nodded emphatically, then released Xia Lin and swam off a little way.

This beach was very close to the Ancient Castle; from here, she could clearly see the distant castle.

To be honest, she wasn’t keen to bother Lord Fang Ka.

But since it concerned her most beloved sister, Xia Lin called over an adult clansman and asked them to find Lord Fang Ka, saying she had something important.

This adult clansman quickly arrived near Mage Fang Ka.

Mage Fang Ka instantly opened his eyes, his gaze landing on this Pink Merfolk.

Noticing Mage Fang Ka’s gaze, the Pink Merfolk immediately halted and revealed a somewhat bashful smile on her beautiful face.

She nodded gently at Mage Fang Ka: "Lord Fang Ka, Lady Xia Lin has something she wants to discuss with you."

Hearing her words, Mage Fang Ka lightly nodded, then stood up from his lounge chair: "Alright, I know, I’ll head over soon."

The Pink Merfolk said no more, stealing a glance at Mage Fang Ka’s handsome face, before stepping away.

Mage Fang Ka took a deep breath, looked afar at the Merfolk Base.

At this time, the players were still bustling with activity, and some outlines of the houses had already been built.

The efficiency of these players was indeed commendable.

He shifted his gaze from the Merfolk Base, then headed towards the beach.

At this time, Xia Lin was waiting for him.

Mage Fang Ka stopped a little distance from Xia Lin and slowly inquired: "What’s the matter, Xia Lin? Is there something important you need to discuss with me?"

Xia Lin looked a bit embarrassed, glanced at Mage Fang Ka, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Noel is very interested in Lord Fang Ka’s meals... I wonder if it’s possible to trouble Lord Fang Ka to arrange her meals..."

"I know this is quite abrupt, and if Lord Fang Ka thinks it’s troublesome, then it’s okay."

Seeing Xia Lin’s blushing face, Mage Fang Ka gently chuckled.

Never thought Xia Lin would get embarrassed over something like this, but it showed Xia Lin’s fondness for Noel.

Even feeling shy, she braved herself to say it.

Mage Fang Ka’s act of sending meals to the merfolk on duty at the Divine Hall had two intentions.

One was to give benefits to these merfolk, encouraging them to be more diligent in their tasks.

The other was to garner the attention of other merfolk, aiming to capture their appetites.

Unexpectedly, it worked so quickly.

Mage Fang Ka’s eyes flickered as he paused his gaze on Xia Lin’s beautiful and alluring face for a moment: "It’s not a big deal, not troublesome at all, really no problem."

"Oh, by the way, would you like a portion of the meals too?"

Xia Lin was a little embarrassed when she said: "I’m actually indifferent, but Noel... well, she eats quite a lot..."

She personally didn’t have much pursuit of gourmet food; her interest was more in various kinds of knowledge.

Previously, when Mage Fang Ka gave her the book on Weapon Enchantment, she was so excited she couldn’t sleep.

Mage Fang Ka glanced at Xia Lin’s face: "Eats a lot? How much are we talking?"

The blush on Xia Lin’s face expanded slightly; after taking a deep breath, she said: "About... um, several times the amount of a regular person."

Mage Fang Ka instantly recalled the slender figure of Noel in his mind.

Seems the only thing of note was that pair of large, white rabbit candies.

Otherwise, she was thin beyond belief...

Really, eats that much?

This must be what’s called eating without gaining weight?

With a slight cough, Mage Fang Ka nodded slowly: "A bit of an eater, but arranging her meals is no problem."

"Henceforth, when I have my meals, I will make sure to send some to her, and perhaps send you a portion too."

"Oh yes, if you have other clansfolk in need, they can assist my subordinates with gathering ingredients, and their meals can be arranged as well."

Xia Lin awkwardly chuckled: "Isn’t it too much trouble for Lord Fang Ka?"

Mage Fang Ka laughed: "It’s alright, mainly it depends on your needs. If needed, you can come to me, and I will inform them which ingredients to gather for my subordinates."

Anyway, it’s not Mage Fang Ka doing the cooking. At most, he could give Sea Flip some exclusive chef rewards, and Sea Flip would likely be very happy to oblige.
