Heavenly Water Morning Dew

What overstepping my bounds? I don't understand.

The Fat Catfish pretended to be stupid, shaking its head and swaying its body.

The Old Toad grabbed the Fat Catfish's chubby face and tried to push it upwards, using its body to block it. But seeing that the Fat Catfish was stubborn and unyielding, it became furious and suddenly leaped up!

The Fat Catfish was overjoyed as soon as its vision cleared, but then a shadow fell and rapidly enlarged, causing its head to slam into the ground.

The Old Toad straddled the Fat Catfish's neck, stretched out its webbed claws, grabbed the Fat Catfish's Long Whiskers, and pulled it up.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! The Fat Catfish's skin tightened all over its body. Before it could see the layout of the cave, it was in so much pain that it raised half of its body. Before its eyes was a shimmering expanse of water, and above its head, the Old Toad's roar was deafening.

"You audacious treacherous frog!"

"You audacious treacherous frog!"

"Having been idle for so long, how dare these naive children mistake me for a sick frog? Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Tie! Tie! Tie! The Old Toad croaked three times, grabbed the Fat Catfish's head, kicked three times with its frog legs, then leaned back and delivered a violent headbutt! Thump! Ripples spread, and mud and sand surged.

Several strands of aquatic plants near the cave broke off and drifted away.

Puff puff~ The Fat Catfish exhaled a large amount of bubbles, suddenly felt the world spinning, felt weak all over, and half of its body slumped to the ground.

Before it fell asleep, it strained to Big Frog eyes wide, trying to glimpse a sliver of the truth through the crack in the door...

Slap! The Old Toad slapped it again.

The Fat Catfish rolled its eyes, went completely limp, and remained motionless.

The campaign was unsuccessful from the outset.

Die first...

The Old Toad, enraged, grabbed the Fat Catfish's Long Whiskers, its webbed claws weaving wildly, and tied a complicated knot.

Snap! The knot snapped and hit his mouth.

"You tiny Legless Frog! How disrespectful! How disrespectful!" The Old Toad was so angry that the frog's belly swelled up. It jumped into the air, expelling all the air, and shouted.

"Da Pang! Er Pang!"

The powerful croaking of frogs pierced through layers of water.

The Da Pang on the Lotus Leaf and the Er Pang frog in the valley trembled, one leaping into the water and the other pushing off the ground, turning into two shooting stars and arriving in the blink of an eye.

"Elder!"

The Old Toad grabbed the Fat Catfish by its whiskers, dragged it to the Green Skin Frog, and angrily pounded its Da Pang belly twice.

"Assassins! There are assassins among the Frog Clan! You two frog leaders, all you do is eat! If the thief succeeds in his assassination, it's a small matter if you kill yourselves, but a big matter if the Frog Clan has no future!"

Da Pang glanced at the Fat Catfish, thinking what a huge misunderstanding. Feeling sorry for it, he patiently explained.

"Elder, it's a misunderstanding. It's not an assassin, it's Legless Frog. I saw it when I visited the Great King last time..."

"I am Elder! I said it was an assassin, and it is an assassin! It is an assassin!"

The Old Toad got angry again. It jumped onto the Da Pang head, grabbed the skin on both sides of its mouth, and stretched it out with all its might.

"It is because of incompetent and negligent frogs like you that my Frog Clan is no match for the Snake Clan! We have been unable to dominate the Great Marsh, take the Flood Dragon's head, avenge the True Lord, and relieve the Great King's burden! Stupid frog! Stupid frog!"

"Old Zhang, I was wrong, ha! I dare not!"

The Old Toad kicked three times with its legs, then suddenly let go.

Snap! The frog skin fell back, making a crisp echo.

Er Pang was terrified, his webbed feet spread wide, and he unconsciously took two steps back.

The Old Toad suddenly turned its head.

"And you too! Er Pang! Deputy Commander of the Frog Clan!"

The Old Toad jumped off Da Pang's head, then leaped onto Er Pang's head, kicking him three times with the same technique, pulling up his skin. Only after Er Pang admitted his mistake did the toad let go.

Pop! The white vapor dissipated.

The Old Toad jumped into the cave, slammed its Fist into the vine, the vine shrank back, then spread again, forming a cage at the cave entrance.

The silt settled, and the cave entrance returned to quiet.

"Sigh~"

Da Pang Er Pang rubbed their mouths and sighed in unison.

After a while.

Da Pang stretched out his webbed feet, grabbed the Fat Catfish's large tail, swung it onto his back, and led the poor, homeless little frog back home.

The Elder's memory was worse than mine; in such a short time, he had already forgotten about the Legless Frog and even mistook it for an assassin.

The sunlight shifted horizontally, and the sky became brighter.

The Fat Catfish opened its eyes and found itself floating in a sky filled with auspicious clouds. With a gentle flick of its tail, it swam far away.

Feeling light and free, unrestrained and carefree, I felt extremely happy.

In a moment of joy.

A Da Bao swam through the clouds.

The Fat Catfish's eyes lit up. It flicked its tail and easily caught the Da Bao fish without breaking a sweat.

The aroma of the Treasure Fish is rich, and the Long Whiskers of the Fat Catfish sway, leaving a few lines as they touch the white clouds.

Fish belly, fish stomach, and two gills are offered to the gods; fish head and fish tail are kept for oneself; fish bones are given to those Cannot Move; and fish intestines are given to the Round Head.

No, no, no.

The Fat Catfish raised its fins and wiped away the lines.

Give the fish intestines to Awei, and the fish fins to Round Head.

Yes, yes, yes.

Smells so good! The Fat Catfish opened its mouth and chewed heartily, but accidentally bit its own whiskers, and a sharp pain shot through it.

In an instant, everything before my eyes vanished...

The Fat Catfish opened its eyes and fell into endless emptiness. Then, a fragrance identical to that of the Treasure Fish wafted in.

"You're awake."

The Fat Catfish raises its head.

Da Pang squatted on the Lotus Leaf, grabbed a piece of fish meat and stuffed it into his mouth to chew. He then took a piece of King Lotus Basin from the side and placed it in front of the Fat Catfish.

Against the backdrop of green leaves, inside are two more than half of the plump Red Spotted Fish!

The fish fat slowly dripped from the cross-section, and the fried meat turned golden brown, releasing steam.

Da Pang spread his webbed hands and said, "Red Spotted Fish are divided according to the height of frogs. I'm tall, so I can be divided into five large pieces. You're shorter than me, so you only have two and a half pieces."

Hungry, the Fat Catfish thanked them repeatedly and buried its head in its food.

It smells so good.

It tastes just like the Treasure Fish in my dream!

Da Pang talked as he ate.

"I had a frog untie the knot on your beard for you. I forgot to tell you before that no one is allowed to approach the Elder's room without permission, not even within three zhang."

"Oh, it's all my fault. I should have led you there. Even if the Elder isn't good at fighting, he's still better than you."

I wholeheartedly agree with the image of the Fat Catfish devouring its meat.

It misjudged the Old Toad's strength; it hadn't expected it to be so powerful.

While eating...

The Fat Catfish slowed its movements.

Five great generals under the command of the gods.

The Fist can help the gods mine minerals, making them stronger and stronger.

The Round Head pigs are numerous and powerful. Who knows how many henchmen they'll bring back from Fragrant Township County? They can't out-fish, and they certainly can't out-fight.

Cannot Move, yet possessing unique talents, lying in the courtyard all day, without doing anything, it can still be of great use.

Awei...

The Fat Catfish heard that there was a kind of person on the shore called a eunuch, who was of little use and worthless, but was deeply favored because he was always close to the master.

Just myself...

They couldn't even complete the tasks assigned by the gods.

Ah~~ The Fat Catfish swallowed its flesh.

Eating fish causes stomach pain.

Burp~ I'm so full.

As a fish, when it comes to comparing height and fish meat size with a frog, the Fat Catfish has an unparalleled advantage.

Two and a half pieces, more than its appetite, made its belly bloated.

Er Pang brought over a plate and saw that Fat Catfish was looking downcast. "Is your appetite not good?"

Upon hearing this, the Da Pang looked down and realized that there was still a whole piece of fish meat untouched on the plate of the Fat Catfish. He hesitated to speak.

The Fat Catfish noticed something amiss and, with a flash of inspiration, gave the remaining piece to the Da Pang.

Da Pang was overjoyed. After repeatedly confirming that he really didn't want the Fat Catfish, he picked up the fish meat and shared it with Er Pang and Frog.

"Legless Frog, you frog are so nice."

Having obtained a good frog card, the Fat Catfish seized the opportunity to ask a question.

"When is the Elder going out? Does he want to apologize in person?" The Da Pang chewed on his fish, lost in thought. "I don't know, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after."

The Elder's wisdom is too profound; every action he takes is full of meaning. His affairs are difficult for other frogs to fathom; perhaps only the Great King knows.

The Fat Catfish was greatly disappointed.

Once the Old Toad leaves, we'll have to find another opportunity to sneak in.

Er Pang suddenly said, "Didn't the elder invite the Dragonfolk Tianchang to sell the Morning Dew? It seems to be this afternoon. Maybe we can find an opportunity to apologize."

Morning Dew?

The Fat Catfish asked curiously.

Without hesitation, Er Pang...

"Heavenly Water Morning Dew, a strange, invisible substance, is extremely useful to Dragonfolk. It is said that eating it can turn them into elephants."

Do you know what an elephant is? I saw one once on a big boat on the Huai River. It was even fatter than you, with thick legs, like a pillar in the Dragon Palace.

It's clumsy and slow when it walks; I don't know what's so good about becoming one. I could eat one in one bite! Anyway, every time the Elder goes out, he always finds something valuable—either Treasure Fish or some ore. He sells everything he doesn't need. The Morning Dew seems to be coming in about ten days.
