2473 Utterly Discomfited
"I want to bring her back." Mu Xingchen declared while clenching his fists.
"I will definitely bring her back home!" Mu Xingchen turned around and stared straight at his seventh uncle, Mu Jingrui, with electrifying eyes.
Mu Jingrui couldn't help but smile. He was actually only seven or eight years older than Mu Xingchen. They were uncle and nephew but were also good friends. They had always been on good terms privately too.
Mu Jingrui was relieved when saw that Mu Xingchen had calmed down and regained his reason. He nodded and said, "Of course."
Before Mu Xingchen could say anything else, raucous shouts of surprise came from the surrounding boats.
The uncle and nephew duo leaned out from the railing to look.
In the evening light, they saw schools of fish wandering back and forth around the corridor, swimming in circles.
There were even around a dozen multicolored fish each the size of a baby's arm mixed in among the swarm. The way they shimmered under the light of the moon attracted people's attention.
"Mamma mia! Are those rainbow divine fish?"
"What rainbow divine fish? Can this brother enlighten us with your extensive knowledge?"
"Rainbow divine fish? Those ones that are shimmering?"
"Haha, you flatter me by saying I have extensive knowledge. I only had the pleasure of reading about them in a record of oddities about the Divine Province. It said that eating this kind of rainbow divine fish can increase one's divine energy. Each one eaten could augment the body's divine energy by at least 10 percent. It reportedly also tastes divine too!"
"It is also effective toward spiritual realm experts level 10 and above, but it's too difficult for them to survive."
"Wow! You're not kidding?"
"Why did so many rainbow divine fish appear in this Weixi River?"
That brother who got lauded to the skies said bewilderedly, "Logically speaking, they can only survive in spiritual domains. They cannot live in non-spiritual lakes or waters."
"Could there be a spiritual domain near Weixi River?"
"Ha, what a joke. We grew up along the Weixi River. We never heard of there being a spiritual domain near the river."
"Don't be so certain. If there really are spiritual meridians within the deepest parts of the river, we wouldn't know either."
"Don't be stressing over that! This is a rare opportunity that can only be encountered by chance. Let me see if I can haul a rainbow divine fish or two."
"Haha, that's right. We'll have made it big then!"
Everybody rolled up their sleeves and jumped off the bows of their boats into the river.
They could care less about exercising restraint right now. Everyone who received the news all jumped into the river to catch the rainbow divine fish mixed among the swarm of fish.
Yet—
At this moment, they saw the swarm of fish rapidly spiraling and swimming toward a certain direction.
The speed at which they spiraled and gathered was astonishing.
In less than 30 seconds, at least more than half of the fish in the river were gone.
There were many people crowding in the river. When these people who had been busy catching fish looked up, they were stunned.
They saw a slender figure in plain clothes standing on the deck of the government boat nearby. Her delicate face was looking ahead expressionlessly.
She swiftly collected the swarm of fish in the river into the storage talisman floating in mid-air.
This scene abruptly made everyone recall what happened in the morning. It was the exact same scenario as before.
That little lady with the storage talisman once again collected the swarm of fish in the water.
Her speed was simply jaw-dropping!
"B*tch." Mu Rouyan was utterly discomfited. She had jumped into the river and got soaked, but she didn't get anything out of it at all.
