The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Seeing her enthusiastic invitation, Chu Ning'an readily agreed, "Sure!" Then, he carefully entered the water, imitating Ru Yue's earlier example. However, to his surprise, despite his intense concentration and full effort, his fork repeatedly missed, failing to catch even a single fish. The repeated failures left Chu Ning'an feeling frustrated, and a trace of disappointment and helplessness crossed his face.

At this moment, Ru Yue beside him whispered a reminder: "You might as well try to aim the sword at the bottom of the fish and stab it." Although Chu Ning'an was a little confused by Ru Yue's words and didn't understand what kind of mystery was contained in them, the trust he had developed over a long period of time made him act without hesitation according to what she said.

In an instant, a miracle happened! When he swung his sword again, with a loud "plop," a gigantic fish was pinned firmly to the tip of the sword, twisting and struggling. Chu Ning'an himself was completely stunned, unable to believe what was happening before his eyes—he had speared the fish so easily!

Seeing this scene, Ru Yue danced with joy, clapping her hands vigorously and praising excitedly: "Wow, what a big fish! Chu Ning'an, you are so amazing!" Hearing Ru Yue's praise, Chu Ning'an's originally tense face instantly bloomed into a bright smile, and his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and joy.

Chu Ning'an repeated the same trick several times. Thanks to his already profound martial arts skills, and with Ru Yue's careful guidance, his spearing skills improved by leaps and bounds. Before long, more than a dozen lively fish were neatly arranged on the shore, each one a generous size, plump, and enticingly delicious.

Looking at this bountiful harvest, Chu Ning'an and Ru Yue smiled at each other, their hearts filled with joy. Ru Yue said cheerfully, "Haha, that's enough! Chu Ning'an, let's quickly clean up these fish together. I'll grill some delicious fish for you later!" With that, the two of them happily began to process the freshly caught fish.

The two of them were cleaning up the fish together. Chu Ning'an pondered for a long time before asking, "Why do you aim at the bottom of the fish when you spear it instead of striking it directly at the fish?"

Ru Yue tilted her head slightly, her brows furrowed as she pondered how to explain the principle of light refraction in a simple and understandable way. After all, she didn't want to give a perfunctory explanation, let alone fool this curious guy.

After thinking for a moment, she slowly spoke, "Look, if there's a fish swimming happily in the crystal clear river, can we see it clearly? This is actually because the light reflected from the fish's body, when it passes through the river and reaches the surface, will be refracted, and these refracted rays will penetrate into our eyes! However, because our eyes are always accustomed to seeing things in the opposite direction of the refracted light, this makes the fish seem shallower. Moreover, what we see with our eyes is not the real fish itself, but a virtual image above the fish! So, if you want to catch the fish, you have to aim below the virtual image!"

After saying this, Ru Yue worried that he still might not understand, so she simply squatted down, picked up a branch, and carefully drew a diagram of light refraction on the riverbank. As she drew, she patiently explained the meaning of each part and the underlying principles.

However, despite her best efforts, after working for a while, when she looked up at him, she found that his eyes were still full of confusion and bewilderment.

However, Ru Yue was not discouraged by this. She sighed softly, smiled helplessly, and said that she had indeed tried her best.

Chu Ning'an, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly asked, "Did you learn all this in your dreams?"

Hearing this, Ru Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yeah." Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Chu Ning'an with some trepidation and asked cautiously, "Do you... think I'm a monster because of this?"

In that instant, a brilliant smile suddenly broke out on his face, as warm as the gentle spring sunshine. He knew full well that she was doing her utmost to let him into her world, to show her true self without reservation, unlike others who hid their secrets, burying them deep within their hearts, keeping them from others. This honesty and trust alone was precious enough to him.

"Even if it is a monster, it must be the most beautiful and kindest monster in the world!" He murmured softly, his eyes as gentle as water, staring quietly at the woman in front of him.

Just then, An Er and Feng Ying hurried back. To their surprise, they had not only successfully brought back a well-furned wild rabbit, but also a large collection of fresh, plump wild vegetables. The rabbit looked juicy and tender, exuding an alluring aroma; the wild vegetables were also lush and fresh, making the sight of them mouth-watering.
