Jiang Taigong fished, and only the willing took the bait?

Fast?

When Rongrong heard that, her pretty face turned as red as an apple.

She put her hands on her hips and sighed.

"When can you be serious?"

"You can even make something out of speed?"

Unconcerned, Ye Xingchen smiled and flicked a Sweet Potato Bullet back at her.

Looking at the aggrieved Rongrong, he said:

"I'm being perfectly serious!"

"There's a big difference between a fast man and a man who takes his time!"

Her pretty face slightly flushed, Rongrong sighed, not bothering to trade barbs with him anymore.

She glanced at the path ahead, then skipped along it.

Following behind her, Ye Xingchen smiled faintly and was just about to step forward.

Suddenly, he sensed what seemed to be movement behind him. He looked back but found nothing unusual.

He shook his head, then quickened his pace to catch up.

Not long after he left, the White-Bearded Old Man slowly revealed himself and stepped out.

Watching the retreating figure, he murmured:

"What a lad. He hasn't even reached the Soul Master rank, yet he has the strength to slaughter a Soul Grandmaster."

"Could this martial soul be a mutation? The most frightening thing is that he doesn't even have a soul ring yet. He's quite perceptive, too. When did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect produce a genius like this..."

Muttering to himself, the White-Bearded Old Man sighed softly and reached back to leave a mark on the path he had taken.

He glanced at the retreating figure, then hurried after him!

A short while later,

Bruce, his face full of wicked charm, and the Golden-Haired Man quietly arrived.

Looking at the mark left on the ground, Bruce turned back and smiled.

"My lord, we're very close!"

"Look... could I go back now...?"

Hearing this, the Golden-Haired Man smiled faintly.

He nodded and snapped his fingers. A sheepskin pouch abruptly appeared in his hand.

He glanced at Bruce and chuckled.

"Eight hundred thousand gold coins. Is that enough?"

"Remember to keep your lips sealed like a bottle, or else..."

Eight hundred thousand gold coins?

His eyes lighting up at the sight of money, Bruce nodded. He was already imagining how many women he could have with those eight hundred thousand gold coins!

After taking the sheepskin pouch, he knelt to give thanks.

"Rest assured, my lord. I won't do anything reckless. No second person will know about this!"

Smiling broadly, the Golden-Haired Man nodded and watched Bruce rise and leave.

He dusted off his hands and smiled.

"That's right. There won't, won't be a second person who knows about this!"

No sooner had he spoken than Bruce, his head full of women, took two steps and suddenly felt excruciating pain rip through his body.

He looked down and saw several threads resembling spiderwebs emerging all over his body.

As beads of blood fell, he turned back and murmured:

"So ruthless... you..."

The Golden-Haired Man smiled faintly and waved his hand, bringing the sheepskin pouch back into his grasp.

He sniffed the bloody smell on it, then slowly left.

As for that heap of dismembered remains, it was soon buried beneath the ice and snow...

Hidden in the shadows with his arms folded, Chen Xin sighed softly.

Glancing at the retreating figure, he could not help the corners of his mouth from lifting slightly.

It was his first time seeing such a vicious offensive martial soul.

But the moves used were not difficult to recognize.

He looked deep into the forest, then immediately turned into a wisp of blue smoke and left!

Deep in the forest, beside a lake,

Ye Xingchen stood motionless, letting ice and snow slowly cover his entire body.

From a distance, he looked like a snowman.

Sheltering on the shore beside the fire she had built, Rongrong sighed softly.

Seeing him put on this mysterious act, she had already settled down, ready to watch the show!

Just then, ripples appeared on the lake, followed by an ear-piercing sound that thundered out.

Standing at the water's edge, Ye Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, and the sword in his hand instantly flew from his grasp.

A silver flash appeared across the lake, and a streak of scarlet spread over the surface!

"Jiang Taigong fished, and only the willing took the bait..."

"You can't blame me."

Leaving those words behind, Ye Xingchen possessed himself with his Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul and plunged straight underwater!

Waiting on the shore, Ning Rongrong sighed softly, thinking that this fellow made such a flashy affair out of simply catching a fish.

If he fought someone in the future, wouldn't it shake heaven and earth even more?

With a splash across the lake, Ye Xingchen burst out of the water, dressed in white.

Holding a three-meter-long white fish, he looked extremely out of proportion.

Without his sword supporting it, he really would not have been able to carry the fish!

"Was this fish a little stupid? It actually delivered itself right to you!"

"Hurry up! I want your grilled fish. I'm hungry!"

Her eyes shining, Ning Rongrong swallowed, hurriedly moved aside from the fire, and came closer with a beaming smile.

"Jiang Taigong fished, and only the willing took the bait!"

"Not bad, not bad. Quite a haul!"

A haul?

Hearing Ye Xingchen say this, Rongrong could not help feeling a little puzzled.

He only caught one fish. How was that such a big haul?

Just as she was about to ask, she saw Ye Xingchen put down the fish and walk toward the lake again!

"One fish is enough..."

"If you get any more, we won't be able to finish them..."

Hearing Rongrong's voice behind him, Ye Xingchen did not stop.

He reached the lakeside and glanced over the water, then turned his gaze toward the center!

There was a black dot in the middle of the lake, which looked like a rock from afar.

But without going into the water, it was hard to know that this was a Xuanwu!

The instant he had plunged underwater earlier, Ye Xingchen had spotted him.

Neither big nor small, he seemed to be a juvenile!

Judging by his condition, he was still dormant.

Ye Xingchen rubbed his chin, gritted his teeth, and immediately plunged into the water!

Meanwhile, on the shore,

Watching Ye Xingchen enter the water again, Ning Rongrong could not help sighing softly.

Knowing nothing about grilling fish, she found herself stumped as she looked at the fish before her.

"Grrr..."

Unable to withstand her stomach's growling, she swallowed, immediately took out a dagger, and began cutting.

As she cut, her martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, suddenly reacted.

Naturally quick-witted, Rongrong frowned and immediately took two steps back.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

With several whooshes, a few earth spikes abruptly appeared where she had been standing!

Immediately afterward, in the woods not far away,

Two figures slowly emerged. They were the White-Bearded Old Man and the Blonde Man!

"It seems we arrived at just the right time. Your companion isn't here, haha!"

Looking at Rongrong alone, the Blonde Man could not help smiling faintly as he said:

"Hello, Princess Rongrong!"

"It really has been a long time!"

A long time?

Frowning deeply, Ning Rongrong looked at the two men and could not help finding them somewhat unfamiliar.

As far as she remembered, she had never seen these two fellows before!

Yet judging by their manner, they seemed to know her!

"Since you know who I am and still dare attack me, you're enemies!"

"Who are you? Who gave you such gall?"

Unconcerned, the Golden-Haired Man smiled and glanced at Ning Rongrong before him.

A trace of lechery appeared in his eyes as he smiled.

"That doesn't matter. What matters is that you've fallen into my hands now!"
