Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 185 - 133: White Dragon Carp; Fish in the Belly 3

The rocking of the fishing boat has stopped, but the struggle underwater continues, with the splashing water everywhere, the giant white carp and the shirtless old man dancing a battle dance in the water.

Mr. Yu, undoubtedly a fisherman for over fifty years, is excellent in water; he seized the moment and straddled the big white fish, raising the fish fork high and viciously stabbed it into the back of the Dragon Carp.

The Dragon Carp was enraged by him and plunged straight into the depths of the water, taking the persistent Mr. Yu down with it!

Xiaoyu gazed dumbfoundedly at the deep, dark lake water below and suddenly screamed:

"Blood!"

You Su’s heart jounced with shock, and with a "shing," the Mo Song Sword was out. There was no way he would watch this guiding elder perish here.

You Su stepped onto the boat’s edge, ready to leap into the water, yet unexpectedly, at that moment, a rumbling sound arose, something was rushing rapidly toward them underwater!

The lake surface abruptly split open, accompanied by enormous white splashes, as the Dragon Carp, all white, charged out of the water with the old man on its back, exposing its six-to-seven-foot-long body completely in the air, reflecting dazzling light off its white scales.

Mr. Yu still refused to release his grip on the fish fork, shouting with all his might:

"Xu! Slash it!"

You Su’s brows furrowed deeply, his Divine Sense sweeping over the fish and man seemingly frozen mid-air. Channels of strength surged into his legs, and in an instant, he leaped high, wielding the Mo Song Sword before him, forming a stark contrast with the pure white fish body.

The clear sound of the sword rang out as black touched white, exploding with a vivid crimson!

This strike was as swift as lightning!

The rain of lake water and blood descended like a torrential downpour but couldn’t touch You Su and Xiaoyu in the slightest; an invisible barrier shielded above like a Qi-made umbrella.

You Su turned his head, nodding to Xiaoyu in gratitude.

With the splatter all gone, Mr. Yu dragged the massive fish body through the water, climbing back onto the wooden channel on the boat; You Su quickly reached out his hand to hoist Mr. Yu back up.

Mr. Yu, once onboard, looked very excited, dripping wet as he praised You Su, saying:

"Good lad! That was a precise strike! Pull the fish!"

Smiling, You Su nodded in response, bending down to join Mr. Yu in pulling the gigantic Dragon Carp aboard.

The Dragon Carp was dead, but its body remained stiff in death, still trembling on the deck, its massive fish eyes wide open, with thick, pungent blood flowing out from its head.

That sword by You Su was not only precise but ruthless.

The Mo Song Sword cuts iron like mud, enhanced further with You Su’s Profound Qi, this strike pierced straight through the Dragon Carp’s head leading to instant death.

Mr. Yu was evidently exhausted, collapsing by the boat’s edge, gasping raggedly, while the fishing boat returned to calm, sailing quietly ahead.

After a good while, Mr. Yu lifted himself up and put on the robe he’d taken off earlier, exuberant as he exclaimed:

"This Dragon Carp is a rare sight in Jade Ring Lake! I haven’t seen it in almost thirty years!"

You Su also felt a strange surprise at how freshwater could nurture fish of such size. With Divine Sense, he scrutinized carefully, discovering the fish carried dense Profound Qi, much denser compared to yesterday’s eaten Goby, almost akin to a swimming Spirit Stone, no wonder it grew so huge.

"Just a fish, and you’ve been fishing here for fifty years without seeing it for thirty?" Xiaoyu incredulously examined the Dragon Carp.

"You can’t just see it whenever you want; in fact, this isn’t a fish from the Jade Ring Lake, it’s from the Jade Ring Pool. It just swam out through the underground currents."

Mr. Yu approached the Dragon Carp, using his hand to stroke its white body, as if admiring a rare treasure in the world.

"This Dragon Carp is the largest I’ve ever seen! I remember when learning to fish, my father caught a Dragon Carp half my size, just that one attracted swarms of Immortals fighting over it! This one, I wager, can’t be bought even for a hundred Spirit Stones!"

"But... since it came from the Jade Ring Pool, won’t you being blamed by the Pool’s Immortals for catching it?"

Legend has it the current temperament of Jade Ring Pool’s Immortals wouldn’t allow outsiders to profit from their Spirit Fish.

"The Jade Ring Pool belongs to Immortals, the Jade Ring Lake to mortals, when this fish enters mortal territory it’s like an Immortal descending, potentially consuming all the fish in the lake; should I not kill it? Can it not be killed?"

Just now, You Su had witnessed the fish’s power in colliding with the boat, indeed it reigns as a water ruler outside the lake, but he still harbored some doubt, asking:

"Then why did it attack the fishing boat?"

Mr. Yu fetched a brightly polished fish knife, pressing down the still jerking fish body, impatiently saying:

"Perhaps it mistook us for intruders of its domain! Mr. Xu, you’ve greatly assisted me, us old folks shall not hoard it alone, I’ll cut off half the fish belly for you! Xiaoyu, come and have a taste!"

Mr. Yu didn’t care for You Su’s question, his mind solely fixated on quickly processing this exceptional Dragon Carp, fearing it might be spotted by the pool’s Immortals once back in the lake.

"Kill it now?" You Su asked in astonishment.

"This Dragon Carp’s belly is praised even by those of us who’ve eaten fish for decades among the veteran fishermen. Its flesh is white as snowflakes, needs to be eaten raw to be truly delicious, cut thin and translucent, only then will you understand what true Spirit Fish is!"

Mr. Yu was exceedingly enthusiastic, and You Su could comprehend his sentiment; for these impoverished fishermen who fish day after day, a Dragon Carp from the Jade Ring Pool is nothing short of a heaven-sent fortune.

At this moment, Mr. Yu had located the position, briskly stabbing the chef’s knife into the fish’s belly, its blade soon stained with crimson blood.

Gripping the knife handle tightly, Mr. Yu skillfully sliced open the Dragon Carp’s belly in one seamless motion, although such a Spirit Fish, its visceral organs still emanate a strong stench.

The elder adeptly pulled out all the organs, Xiaoyu watched the scene with furrowed delicate brows, while You Su, who shouldn’t see these organs, also frowned.

Just like the one glance at the Lantern Ghost, he saw a scarlet fish belly inside, holding a small fish.
