Cooked

Ye Lan had used the high-level Fire Release for a couple of reasons. One was to test the strength of his ninjutsu, but the most important reason was… to catch fish.

Ye Lan had been splashing around in the water for so long without catching a single fish, so naturally, he was both annoyed and frustrated. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and came up with this not-so-brilliant idea. Only a loser like Ye Lan would think of using super-intense flames to blast fish…

But it seemed that Ye Lan, though tired, had achieved decent results.

Seeing his impressive achievements, Ye Lan grinned, his head got hot, and he jumped into the water again.

Who knew that this jump would be so consequential? As soon as Ye Lan's foot touched the water, his entire foot turned bright red in an instant!

Ye Lan then remembered that, because of him, the temperature of the river water nearby had long since reached a high temperature that the normal human body simply couldn't withstand!

But, Ye Lan had already jumped…

"Splash!"

Ye Lan didn't even have time to think; he had already jumped in…

The next moment…

"Awoo!!!!!!"

A shrill cry suddenly came from the river…

After a while…

A head emerged from the riverbank.

Naturally, it was Ye Lan, disheveled and miserable…

Struggling to climb ashore, touching his body that was red all over and exuded a fragrant aroma, Ye Lan's eyes welled up with tears…

He had always prided himself on being the ultimate otaku with the highest IQ. How could he have made such a low-level mistake?

He was about to eat fish, but Ye Lan had to jump into the river for no good reason. As a result, he didn't even touch the fish, and he almost cooked himself.

But thankfully, the Chakra in his body automatically rushed out to cover his entire body; otherwise, his current state would probably be even worse.

Ye Lan lay on the ground for a while before gritting his teeth and getting up. With the circulation of Chakra in his body, he felt much better than before.

Moreover, after lying down for a while, his Chakra had recovered to about seventy or eighty percent.

Ye Lan got up again and used a long branch to scoop up all the fish that had fainted in the river.

Then, Ye Lan used Fire Release to roast all the fish.

Looking at the golden-brown roasted fish, Ye Lan grabbed one and began to devour it.

Soon, Ye Lan had devoured more than a dozen fish, leaving only the bones.

Ye Lan was so full that he lay on the ground with his belly sticking out, burping constantly.

As he lay there, Ye Lan felt a wave of sleepiness.

Sure enough, the saying that you get sleepy after eating your fill was true.

Soon, Ye Lan fell into a deep sleep.

But not long after he fell asleep, an urgent and flustered female voice came directly: "Help!"

Ye Lan was suddenly awakened and jumped up from the ground.

Could it be that he had encountered a damsel-in-distress scenario?

Ye Lan's blood suddenly boiled.

Then, he ran all the way to the source of the sound.

Then he saw a beautiful girl with fair skin surrounded by two burly, bald men with lewd looks on their faces.

The girl had thick, dark hair tied loosely with a ribbon, and she wore a light purple dress. Her temperament was pure and innocent. Even Ye Lan couldn't help but feel a little moved, let alone these two bald men who didn't look like good people.

At this moment, her face was full of horror, and she kept shouting for help, looking pitiful, like a wounded little white rabbit.
