Palm Dipped in Iodine

The Thousand Rivers fishing rod, never a wasted cast. If a rod had a 100% chance of filling the net, couldn't you fish up anything?

"You two behave, or I'll throw you back in."

Little Miss Nangong Wanyu, hands on her hips and holding a stick, stood on the bank, looking fierce despite her small stature, at Xu Hengliang and Jiang Yao who were standing in the water, wanting to get out.

Xu Hengliang yelled in anger.

"You stinky fat pig, hurry up and let us out! If you don't, I'll tell my mom and grandma, and they'll have you beaten to death!"

Jiang Wan sat by the pre-prepared campfire on the bank, roasting fish. She rolled her eyes in annoyance at his words.

She handed a roasted fish to Nangong Wanyu, who moved her lips, clearly wanting to eat.

"Wanwan, I'm not eating it, you eat it!"

Jiang Wan walked over and handed the roasted fish to her.

"Eat up. You're still young. Don't let others' opinions affect you and hinder your growth. You won't be fat when you grow up, I promise. Besides, what's wrong with us being a little chubby? We're not eating their rice. If he says anything else, you hit him. Whoever says it, you hit them!"

Little Miss Nangong Wanyu was persuaded. She took the roasted fish and took a bite. Mmm, this was the most delicious roasted fish she had ever eaten.

Jiang Wan was also very satisfied with her cooking. The fish fins were crispy, the skin slightly charred, and the flesh tender. Most importantly, this fish was a first-tier Yao Beast, its flesh containing Spiritual Power and Fortune bonuses.

They could vaguely see a "+1" appear above their heads for each fish they ate.

"You two, don't go too far! This is Venerable Wanhe's Fortune Koi. If you eat his Fortune Koi, you'll await punishment!"

Jiang Wan picked up the Thousand Rivers rod beside her and yanked the people trying to get ashore back into the water.

"Did I say you could come up? Go back to the water and stay there! You asked Jiang Yao to call me here just to frame me for eating the Koi. Congratulations, you succeeded. Why aren't you happy?"

Jiang Wan reeled in her fishing rod. Another Koi was dangling from it. She threw it onto the campfire. Fat Tiger meowed beside her, craving the lucky cat's meal. The cat wanted to eat too.

This was indeed what Xu Hengliang had planned. He wanted Jiang Wan to eat here while he and Jiang Yao left, then bring people back to catch them red-handed. Anyway, they hadn't eaten the Koi; Jiang Wan and the others had.

But this little girl came over and kicked him into the pond first. She was too ruthless. She didn't even spare her sister, kicking her into the pond as well.

He had already messaged his Master. Venerable Wanhe, who was at odds with Venerable Yu Yi, would arrive soon. He definitely wouldn't let this little girl off the hook. But now, he couldn't escape. He would definitely be punished by his Master.

Xu Hengliang anxiously slapped the water. "Hurry up and let me out!"

Jiang Wan gave the freshly roasted fish to Fat Tiger.

"No. Let's see who comes later."

Fat Tiger, holding the delicious roasted fish, meowed. In Jiang Wan's Sea of Consciousness, a childish little girl's voice spoke.

"Thank you, Master."

From Jiang Wan's Spirit Beast Bag at her waist, a little turtle poked its head out. It clung to the bag with its two little claws, stretching its neck to look around before climbing out of the bag.

It was also a childish voice, but that of a little boy.

"Master hungry hungry, fishy fishy, go to pond to eat."

Jiang Wan understood. She grabbed the turtle on the ground and, with the posture of throwing a discus, tossed it into the pond.

"Plop!"

The little turtle entered the pond. It was like a flood dragon entering the sea, instantly chasing and devouring the Koi within, one after another.

Jiang Wan's Double Pupils flashed. She could see the turtle chasing the Koi in the water. Above their heads, in the Fortune clusters, Fortune increased by +1, +1, +1, +1, +1.

By the time Venerable Wanhe arrived, only three Koi remained in his Koi pond.

Sensing a powerful pressure descending, the little turtle zipped back into Jiang Wan's Spirit Beast Bag.

"Who is it? Who dares to harm my Koi?"

An old man in a robe embroidered with pine and cranes instantly appeared before them, traveling from afar.

The large and small figures in the pond simultaneously pointed their fingers at Jiang Wan and Nangong Wanyu on the bank.

This was because the small hands of the two girls still held the skeletons of two gnawed-on Koi.

Jiang Wan immediately stepped forward, pulling Nangong Wanyu behind her.

"I ate them, but he caught the fish. When we arrived, he had already roasted the fish. He deliberately wanted to frame me, so I ate them."

Venerable Wanhe's aura struggled to contain itself. Otherwise, he was afraid he would shock these four mischievous children to death.

"Good, good, good. You few little brats ate my Koi, huh? Yu Yi—! You old geezer, aren't you coming over here yet? Come and see what good deeds your disciples and grand-disciples have done?!"

Venerable Yu Yi appeared by the pond the next moment.

He swept his Spiritual Sense into the pond and inwardly cursed, This is bad. More than ten Fortune Koi, and only three were left. This was going to be trouble.

He looked at his new disciple, her greasy little mouth, and the fish bones she'd gnawed down to a skeleton.

Venerable Yu Yi had seen all sorts of storms, but he'd never seen anything like this.

It wasn't that he couldn't confront Venerable Wanhe head-on.

Firstly, his own disciples and grand-disciples had eaten the other's Fortune Koi first, putting them in the wrong.

Secondly, he only had a hundred years of lifespan left, while that old fellow could live for another five hundred. If he acted shamelessly now and offended him greatly, his disciples' path after his ascension would be difficult!

After some thought, he pulled the two little ones out of the pond. Using Spiritual Power, he lifted Jiang Wan and Xu Hengliang into the air and slapped each of their behinds twice with Spiritual Power.

"Venerable Wanhe, these two little ones were ignorant. I will find something of equal value to compensate you later. Don't hold it against the children; consider it my fault."

Venerable Wanhe still wouldn't relent, his imposing aura chilling as he looked at them. The grilled fish in Jiang Wan's hand made him even more displeased.

"Children who are ignorant should indeed be taught a lesson, but Venerable Yu Yi, isn't your lesson a bit too light?"

Venerable Yu Yi waved his Spiritual Power again, sending spiritual energy slaps towards the two disciples and grand-disciples suspended in the air, spanking their behinds once more.

"Waaaaah, Grandmaster, I know I was wrong! I'll never dare to do it again, waaaaah, it hurts so much!"

Jiang Wan was full of questions. Did it really hurt that much? It seemed to sting a little, but it wasn't that exaggerated, was it?

But seeing him wailing so loudly, how could she be outdone by a child?

"Waaaaah, it hurts so much! Master, I was wrong! I'll never eat grilled fish again, sob sob sob sob." Unless she couldn't help herself.

Venerable Yu Yi watched his disciple cry prettily and his grand-disciple cry with tears and snot streaming down his face. Only then did he withdraw his Spiritual Power and put the two little ones down.

He secretly praised his disciple's acting skills.

He had truly hit his grand-disciple; the matter started because of him, and a beating was necessary to vent his anger.

As for hitting his disciple, he was healing her while hitting her.

Such a cute little disciple, what was her fault? She was merely taken advantage of and went along with it. How could he bear to truly strike her hard?

Jiang Wan also realized that when the slap landed on her behind, it truly hurt, but when the hand was lifted, it didn't hurt. This happened a few times, and she instantly thought of a saying: 'Palm dipped in iodine, disinfecting as it hits.'
