Smiling foolishly at a toad?
Yuchi was confused.
He had never done such a strange thing.
If it were about him laughing like a fool, then there were indeed times when he could not control himself.
During this month-long period, his thoughts had simply been on one thing.
Medusa.
The reason why he had chosen to resurrect Medusa this time was very simple. It was to let Medusa stir up chaos in the world.
Things were still too peaceful now, and it was difficult to make great breakthroughs in an era that was too peaceful.
As for what Medusa would do next, or whether Medusa could do this alone, this was the key point that Yuchi had been thinking about.
As for smiling foolishly at a toad?
He admitted that he might have been a little crazy before, but it was impossible for him to do such a thing.
Even a piece of white paper has two sides. Let alone a human.
There was a slight pause.
Yu Shengyun then became bolder. She gently leaned her body into Yuchi’s and stopped flying, allowing Yuchi to take her wherever he flew. When Yuchi did not refuse, she spoke up.
“There’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask. I wonder if you can give me a more direct answer.”
“What?” Yuchi lowered his head and looked at the beauty in his arms.
“Do those fish taste really good, or do you have a special hobby?”
Yu Shengyun finally gave voice to her inner thoughts.
“Are you curious about why I’m fishing?” Yuchi asked in shock.
“Yes,” Yu Shengyun replied.
It had truly been a long time since he had been this surprised.
“So when I was fishing in the Netherworld Sea in front of you, you couldn’t tell what was going on?”
Yu Shengyun nodded in a daze.
She recalled Yuchi’s actions in the Netherworld Sea in detail.
From her memory, Yuchi had just been standing on the surface of the Netherworld Sea and fishing. Then, the Netherworld Sea began to change, and that woman called Medusa appeared. After that, Medusa touched Yuchi’s face and said some inexplicable things.
Was there anything else that happened?
She did not understand.
Yuchi brought Yu Shengyun along and moved even faster. The scenery below was constantly changing. In the end, he said with a rather complicated expression, “As the Saintess of the angel race, you are indeed a talent of a different sort. I’ve shown you everything, but you’re still oblivious to what was going on. This is something I didn’t expect.”
“Ah, is that so?”
She was still clueless, and had no idea what Yuchi was talking about.
Yuchi did not know how to explain it, so he could only say, “After we reach the lake in the Black Mountains, you should watch carefully. When you battle the prey I’m fishing for, you should be able to understand why I fish. You might even find out something deeper about me.”
Yu Shengyun nodded. She decided to observe the process of Yuchi fishing. However, Yuchi had said that she would have a battle with his prey. How could she fight?
The target of his fishing was a fish.
Fighting with fish?
It felt like he was looking down on her.
She might be inferior to him in terms of strength, but she was still a bona fide first-grade Dao realm cultivator. Why would she fight a fish?
The only fight she would have with a fish was a fight with herself, deciding how she would cook the fish.
Still, that fight would not last long either. She really liked the taste of grilled fish.
…
Time passed by quickly.
After a few days, they reached the Black Mountains. Yuchi was genuinely worried about Yu Shengyun’s intelligence.
He was usually a calm and quiet person, but this time, he had really been shocked by Yu Shengyun.
He had revealed some of his secrets in front of her, but she had missed them entirely. Could it be that she had only paid attention to Medusa?
Did she trade her intelligence for her looks?
Yuchi faintly glanced at the beauty who was sizing up the lake in front of him, but did not say anything.
Then, he walked toward the lake.
The lake itself had a name, and it was called the Eye of Black Ice.
After the hunt, and the battle between Yuchi, Andrew, and the other Dao essence realm cultivators, the entire place was devastated.
Only three years had passed since then, yet it had already returned to how it used to be.
Nature was truly powerful, and resilient.
Currently, the Eye of Black Ice was pitch-black, dark, and cold. Their surroundings were enveloped by a cold fog.
“Now, look carefully. After I catch the prey, you can try to fight it.”
Yu Shengyun did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“I’ll do as you say then.”
Inwardly, she thought, ‘I never expected to fight a fish one day.’
‘Although I’m not that strong, I’m not that weak.’
Then, Yu Shengyun saw Yuchi walk over to the side of the Eye of Black Ice. Once the fishing rod covered with blood-red patterns appeared in Yuchi’s hand, Yu Shengyun’s eyes looked even more carefully.
She did not just want to be a decoration by his side. She wanted to be someone he valued and was irreplaceable.
Then…
The situation took a weird turn.
First of all, Yu Shengyun noticed that there was no bait at the end of Yuchi’s fishing line.
However, when the fishing line was about to touch the surface of the Eye of Black Ice, an abomination appeared at the end of the fishing line. She was not sure what it was. It was bloody and very strange!
Next, some slight ripples began to appear on the lake, which seemed to have something to do with the fishing line. However, once she took a closer look, the situation was completely different. It was as if the fishing line had passed through space!
It was clearly in front of them, but it did not feel like it was in front of them.
Then…
More and more ripples began to appear. Some powerful magic seemed to be awakening some hidden thing under the lake, summoning it!
Then, she heard some cracking sounds, and the ripples stopped abruptly, and the surface of the lake became calm.
“What happened?”
Yu Shengyun stared at the surface of the lake carefully. The visibility was poor, but thanks to her cultivation, she could still clearly sense the changes that were happening on the lake.
Just when Yu Shengyun was seriously suspecting that Yuchi was just trying to make something up, something seemed to appear under the lake in front of her, attracting her attention.
She lowered her head to take a closer look…
