The fish in Chen Xi's grasp struggled madly to escape her clutches.
Fortunately, Lin Yue had already deployed a barrier, stripping away its five senses.
Watching the fish struggle in her hand, Chen Xi suddenly had an idea. She turned to the blonde girl beside her. "Lin Yue, can you release a little of its consciousness?"
