Darryl smiled lightly, pointing at the stream in front of the cave and saying lazily, "Perfect. I'm starving from the journey earlier. There should be some fish in the stream. Can you catch us a few? I'll start a fire. We'll grill the fish once you catch it."
Darryl's expression was solemn as he spoke, but his eyes glinted playfully.
Rachelle said that she came from a family of fishermen, which Darryl did not believe at all. He took the opportunity to test her and see how she would react.
'What? Have me catch fish?'
Rachelle's body quivered at the words as her exquisite features shone with an unreadable expression. She was the holy nun of the True Flame Sect. When did she ever have to take orders like that?
She had servants at her beck and call at the True Flame Sect. How would she know how to catch fish?
However, she had said that she came from a family of fishermen, and it would not do her good if she went back and changed that.
All at once, Rachelle's chest plummeted helplessly. She would have never said she came from a family of fishermen if she knew that Darryl would make her catch fish.
She was in a pickle, and it was her own fault.
Oh?
Seeing her stand there fidgeting, Darryl held back a laugh as he plastered on an expression of great confusion.
"What's wrong? Didn't you say earlier that you were going to be my servant? Do you not want to catch the fish for me?"
He knew that Rachelle did not know a thing about catching fish, and he just wanted to provoke her further.
The words rang through the air, and Rachelle shook her head hastily as she said in a panicked tone, "No… No. That's not what I mean at all, sir. I was just thinking that it's dark now, and catching fish will be a little tricky. I'll… I'll get to it now."
As she spoke, Rachelle held back the pain in her feet as she slowly walked to the stream.
Fine.
Since she had pretended to be a fisherman's daughter, she would just figure out a way to get a fish or two.
Rachelle had thought it through. She would hide somewhere Darryl could not see when she got to the stream and use her internal energy to get herself some fish.
However, Darryl did not give her a single chance to do that.
Just as Rachelle walked to the stream, Darryl got up and quickly gathered a few tree trunks before lighting a fire by the cave entrance.
Upon doing so, Darryl crossed his hands behind his back, humming a tune as he slowly made his way to the stream.
