Hearing the Cat-headed Monster's request, Chen Lin immediately shook his head.
"It isn't that I don't want to help you, Lord Cat. The Golden Toad now sees me as a thorn in its eye. Never mind fishing-I don't even dare approach the shores of Gambling Fortune Lake. Otherwise, I wouldn't have left such a vast treasure vault untouched and gone to risk my life fishing in Wanhuagu Valley instead."
Disappointment appeared on the Cat-headed Monster's face.
But she could sense that Chen Lin wasn't lying, so she could only abandon the idea in frustration.
"All right, forget it, then. I'll think of another way. Once you find a suitable scenario, just activate the whisker to summon me. If I don't respond, wait a while before trying again."
With that, she glanced once more in Hua Ruyu's direction, then walked out of the Small Woods.
Once her figure disappeared, Chen Lin took out the ruby again and examined it. After confirming that nothing was amiss, he put it away, intending to inspect it properly once he returned to the Reality Realm.
Then he walked over to Grass and the other two.
"All right, there's no need to keep waiting here. Come back with me!"
He had found the Cat-headed Monster, and neither Gambling Fortune Lake nor Wanhuagu Valley was available for fishing anymore. This scenario would be of little use for the foreseeable future.
Chen Lin withdrew his divine soul and returned to reality.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Grass and the other two standing beside him, watching him.
He checked and found that his special connection with Hua Ruyu was still there, which eased his mind slightly.
However, her Grass Garment hadn't come out with her, leaving her once again in a state he hardly dared look at
