#223 - Chapter 223 Is this a fish?

Evening.

A familiar voice echoed in Ye Kong's ears.

Qi Refining +1… …

Hearing this, Ye Kong retrieved his fishing rod and placed it on the bank.

“Big Turtle, keep an eye on the fishing rod, don't let Earth Mother come and take it.” Ye Kong instructed the large turtle resting on the bank.

The big turtle opened its mouth, considering it an answer.

Only then did Ye Kong feel relieved and returned.

He was worried that Earth Mother would sneak over at night to steal fish.

He had to be prepared, otherwise she might eat them all.

Earth Mother was quite the glutton.

… …

Night fell,

A figure stealthily sneaked to the edge of the Bitter Sea.

He hadn't eaten enough to his heart's content during the day, so at night, he quietly came to fish while his master was asleep.

But the big turtle bit onto the other end of the fishing rod. If it didn't let go, Little White couldn't fish.

The big turtle couldn't be kicked away.

Helpless, Little White threw the fishing rod aside.

“If I can't fish, can't I still catch them in the sea pond?”

Little White took off his top and jumped directly into the water.

“Splash…”

Just as Little White entered the water, he saw a large fish at the bottom of the river.

Little White immediately dived down, continuously submerging… …

But he found that his distance from the big fish seemed infinitely far.

Little White swam for who knows how long, and when he got closer, the scene before him directly frightened him.

The big fish in front of him, where was it a big fish?

It was clearly a sea monster as large as a mountain, emitting a strong sense of oppression.

“What the heck… is that a fish?”

Little White was so frightened that he forgot to breathe, not daring to go forward.

When he turned to leave, densely packed sea monsters appeared, each emitting a terrifying aura.

There was also one, a sea monster resembling a black dragon, its eyes as red as the scorching sun staring fixedly at Little White.

Little White swam backward and bumped into the teeth of another sea monster.

“Someone, save me!” Little White thought in his heart, afraid to cry.

Surrounded by sea monsters, not to mention he was only a Golden Core cultivator now, even in his previous life, facing so many sea monsters, he would have been torn to pieces.

“Roar!”

Suddenly, a huge dragon roar came, directly stunning Little White.

Just as the black dragon wanted to devour Little White, the Dragon Carp appeared, directly suppressing all the sea monsters to the bottom of the water.

“Roar!” The Dragon Carp roared loudly, repelling them all, then circled around Little White, protecting him.

At this moment, Earth Mother came down from above, looking at the unconscious Little White, then looking at the Dragon Carp.

“I'll take him out.” Earth Mother said to the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp took a deep look at Earth Mother before releasing Little White, allowing him to be taken away by Earth Mother.

When Earth Mother left, she also grabbed a sea monster along the way.

She, too, like Little White, had originally wanted to steal fish to eat.

But unfortunately, she couldn't pick up the fishing rod. As soon as she touched it, the big turtle would attack her.

In order not to alarm Ye Kong, she directly jumped into the water to catch them.

As a result, as soon as she came in, she saw Little White faint.

“Little White, ah, Little White, your master clearly warned you not to easily catch fish, why don't you listen?” Earth Mother shook her head.

If Little White had listened a little, he wouldn't have almost been eaten.

Earth Mother dragged Little White, directly sending him back to his thatched hut, and helped him evaporate the moisture from his body, putting on his robe to avoid catching a cold.

“You rest well, I'm going to eat fish.”

Earth Mother turned around and went to the room, lit the stove, and cooked the big fish.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning.

Ye Kong walked to the edge of the Bitter Sea, picked up the fishing rod, and threw the big turtle into the water casually.

The Dragon Carp swam to the shore, spitting bubbles at Ye Kong, telling him about last night's events.

But Ye Kong didn't understand. He thought the Dragon Carp was hungry, so he threw a magic energy ball to block the Dragon Carp's mouth.

The Dragon Carp dived into the water, not saying anything more.

Ye Kong leaned against the willow tree and began a day of peaceful fishing.

After the sun rose three poles high,

Little White woke up in fright from the room, shouting: “Save me!”

When he looked around and saw Erha, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Whew, that scared me.” Little White breathed a long sigh.

“Woof woof.” Erha barked, looking at Little White with questioning eyes.

Little White recalled the scene he saw last night, feeling a wave of fear.

But suddenly he thought that it was his master's pond.

How could there be sea monsters from the Forbidden Sea in his master's pond?

This didn't make sense!

Little White rode Erha and ran towards the Bitter Sea.

When he ran to his master's side, he saw his master just catching a fish.

“Little White, you're quite fast. I just caught it, and you're already here.” Ye Kong looked at Little White and smiled, shaking his head.

“This is a fish?” Little White looked at the fish, thinking of the sea monster from last night.

These were completely different species.

“This is for eating.” Ye Kong said.

Little White looked at the pond, then looked at the robe he was wearing.

Little White took off his robe and jumped into the Bitter Sea again.

But this time, he quickly caught a big fish.

Little White hugged the big fish, and again thought of the sea monster he saw last night.

During the day, Ye Kong was there, turning all the sea monsters back to their original forms, preventing them from becoming their true selves, let alone growing larger.

Only at night, when Ye Kong went back to sleep, would they dare to return to their true forms.

“Little White, even if you want to eat fish, there's no need to be so anxious, right?” Ye Kong said unhappily.

To jump directly into the water to catch fish, this was too outrageous.

Little White looked at his master, then looked at the big fish in his arms, completely lost.

What exactly happened last night?

Or was it just a nightmare?

But I remember, I clearly came here.

If it wasn't a dream, what about the sea monsters? How could I have been sleeping soundly in my thatched hut?

And if it really were sea monsters, my master would have been eaten long ago.

Little White knocked on his head, completely unable to understand what was going on.

To say it was a dream, it was so real;

But if it wasn't a dream, where are the sea monsters?

Little White stood in the water with a blank expression, holding a big fish in his arms.

Ye Kong looked at Little White's appearance and directly used the fishing rod to pull Little White up.

“What's wrong with you? Are you stupid? Or do you deserve a beating?” Ye Kong looked at the dazed Little White and casually broke off a willow branch from under the willow tree, hitting Little White's head.

Little White immediately reacted, and the big fish in his hand struggled to fall into the Bitter Sea.

Ye Kong watched the big fish leave, and couldn't help but speculate in his heart:

Could it be that Little White was just charmed by the sea monsters in the sea when he entered the sea?

They've already been turned back to their original forms, and they can still cause trouble.

It seems that I have to suppress them again.

Ye Kong looked at the sea monsters in the pond and made a decision in his heart.

Later, he would suppress them again, so they would never be able to cause trouble again.

After Little White's thoughts were interrupted by the willow branch, he had an idea in his heart.

Wait until tonight, and come again!
