170: What can a small fish hook do to me?
The Silver Dragon Carp proudly flicked her tail, a charming arc forming at the corner of her mouth, and she spoke in human tongue, saying with an air of arrogance, "A tiny fishhook, what can it do to me?"
If not for her unclear speech, she would have truly possessed the heroic and spirited demeanor of a female knight-errant.
"Eh?"
The Silver Dragon Carp was a bit confused; the Millennium Spirit Fruit had already been swallowed, but the iron hook seemed to have merged with her mouth, unable to be separated.
She thrashed her body violently, but the seemingly fragile hemp line was as tough as a Dragon tendon.
"Sister, quickly come save me!"
o(>﹏<)o
The Silver Dragon Carp was exasperated; no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free from the iron hook and the hemp line.
Large, pearly tears streamed from the corners of her eyes, falling into the riverbed and being swept away by the surging current.
"Don't be afraid, little sister, I'm here to help you!"
The Golden Dragon Carp's head lunged towards the hemp line; her idea was to bite through the hemp line, thus rescuing her sister from distress.
"Bo~"
The imagined "snap" sound didn't come, but when she bit the hemp line, it "kissed" her mouth instead.
Just like her sister, her mouth also merged with the hemp line.
"Wuwuwu…"
"I didn't steal it; my sister did. If you're going to fish, fish my sister!"
The Golden Dragon Carp was full of grievances and finally couldn't help but cry.
Large, pearly tears also streamed from the corners of her eyes, falling into the riverbed and being swept away by the surging current.
The Silver Dragon Carp was a bit flustered, and she said indignantly, "Sister, I never thought you were this kind of sister."
The Golden Dragon Carp continuously thrashed her body, trying to break free from the hemp line, while also not forgetting to argue, "Little sister, you were the one who stole it, don't blame me!"
The Silver Dragon Carp looked at the Golden Dragon Carp's comical attempts to break free and immediately felt her mood calm.
"It's alright, sister. Now you might also be fished out and then made into braised carp, steamed carp, carp soup…"
"Wuwuwu…"
"I don't want to be made into braised carp, steamed carp, carp soup…"
"Wuwuwu… I don't want to either!"
The two fish hugged and cried, large pearly tears streaming out, quickly washed away by the current, disappearing without a trace.
A huge pulling force came from the hemp line, and both the Golden Dragon Carp and the Silver Dragon Carp were swept up by the immense power; they were instantly pulled out of the water.
Liu Wanyi was still stomping her feet in anger in the Void Realm.
How did her Spirit Earthworm and century-old Profound Iron Hook disappear without a trace?
Just as she was extremely angry and considering whether or not to sink into the underground dark river, she saw two Dragon Carp leap out of the water.
She was overjoyed and repeatedly said, "Hahaha, it really is effortless gains! I didn't expect it to be a buy one get one free!"
"Ah—"
This was the scream of the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp.
Just as Liu Wanyi was about to fly over and collect the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp, the hemp line hanging from high in the sky pulled the two fish flying higher and further away.
Only then did Liu Wanyi see the hemp line pulling the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp.
"Who dares to snatch things from this old woman?" Liu Wanyi was furious, and Profound Fiend Qi emanated from all around her, forming various ghostly shapes as if solid.
Her flying speed was very fast, but no matter how fast, it couldn't match the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp ascending in a straight line.
After a strange spatial fluctuation, the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp were completely enveloped in white light and then disappeared.
Liu Wanyi's face was extremely gloomy; she wished she could destroy everything here, and even more, wished she could tear the person who contended with her for the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp into ten thousand pieces.
But then she thought about her own strength, and decided against it!
The Gloomy Abyss was not a place for her to wander aimlessly, and the Cultivator fishing from the fishing platform was likely an existence she couldn't afford to provoke.
"Sigh~"
Liu Wanyi could only let out a long sigh and quietly left the place.
…
Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, by the Naling Ancient Well.
Lin Yongmiao propped her chin with her hand, squatting by the well, patiently watching her brother fish.
"Brother, aren't there no fish in this well?" The Little Girl asked, puzzled.
Lin Yongmao's mouth curved into an arc, and he said, "Brother will perform a magic trick for you, called 'The Great Live Fish Transformation.'"
"Brother, what is a magic trick?"
The Little Girl hadn't heard of the term 'magic trick' and felt it sounded very impressive.
"Just think of it as a very, very powerful Spell!"
Only then did Lin Yongmao realize that there was indeed no concept of 'magic trick' in the Immortal Realm.
Sensing the fluctuations coming from beneath the hemp line, Lin Yongmao knew that a "fish" had likely taken the bait, so he quickly pulled on the ancient fishing rod.
The Dao Traces Fishing Rod looked like a piece of rotten wood, but even with strong pulling, it showed no change, let alone breaking.
This hemp line was also the same; it looked like a casually crumpled piece of hemp line, yet it was unexpectedly tough, like the soft tendon of a Flood Dragon.
Lin Yongmao pulled with all his might; his long-term Cultivation of the Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art made his strength far surpass Cultivators of the same stage.
Otherwise, the result might very well be that he wasn't fishing, but rather he was being fished by the fish, pulled into another dimension.
When the fishing line was drawn out of the Naling Ancient Well, a golden light appeared.
"It's gold! One shot, straight to the soul, a golden legend!"
Lin Yongmao was extremely excited; this was the joy of fishing.
He also enjoyed fishing in his previous life, but it was limited to catching ordinary fish; how could it compare to fishing for resources in the Immortal Realm?
Just as he was feeling proud, a silver light followed closely behind, accompanied by two shrill screams.
"This is so cool! Is it a buy one get one free?"
Lin Yongmiao watched her brother fish, and when he actually caught two fish from a well that contained no fish, her small eyes widened in surprise.
The two Dragon Carp were already clearly visible, one gold and one silver; these were the colors of prosperity.
Lin Yongmao quickly shielded Lin Yongmiao behind him, because he sensed that these two fish were actually Yao Beasts, and furthermore, Late Stage Second-tier Yao Beasts.
Only, at this moment, the two Dragon Carp were strung together by the hemp line.
"Sister, where is this? The Spiritual Qi is so rich! It's much stronger than the underground dark river where we live!"
The Silver Dragon Carp spoke in a language Lin Yongmao could understand.
"Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm!"
These two fish actually started chatting as if no one else was around.
"Sister, look quickly, this is the big bad guy who fished us."
The Silver Dragon Carp's tail pointed in Lin Yongmao's direction and added, "He's so handsome (◔_◔)"
The Golden Dragon Carp quickly reminded her, "Little sister, don't be a lovesick fool. Don't you remember when you wanted to pick a beautiful coral and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle bit your butt?"
"Sister, don't say it anymore, it's so embarrassing for a fish."
Lin Yongmao's face was covered with black lines; how did he manage to catch such a pair of lively treasures?
However, these two fish, one gold and one silver, looked exactly like the Qi Luck Spirit Beast—the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp.
Could these really be the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp?
Lin Yongmao had originally thought the Gold and Silver Dragon Carp was a single fish, but he didn't expect it to be two fish, one a Golden Dragon Carp and the other a Silver Dragon Carp.
