Chapter 283: Strange Fish
Xue Fanxin woke up full of energy. Her entire body was filled with vitality as if she had been injected with adrenaline.
Not only Xue Fanxin, but Gu Jinyuan and the others also felt the same. Even Ah Wei, whose arm was injured, was lively. The recovery rate of his wound was unexpectedly fast. He had just bandaged it yesterday, and today, it was scabbing.
If only one or two people had any abnormalities, that would be understandable. However, since everyone was like this, things were not simple.
Xue Fanxin was worried that something had happened to their bodies. She checked them carefully and realized that they were all as good as bulls. They were not sick or in pain at all.
“Strange, what’s going on?”!!
“Since everyone’s bodies are fine, you don’t have to think too much,” Gu Jinyuan said with a smile. His smile made people feel like they were bathed in the spring wind.
“Forget it, let’s not think about it. When Ah Jiu comes out of seclusion, I’ll ask him, or I’ll observe him for a while first.” Xue Fanxin put away her thoughts. She adjusted her state of mind and said with a smile, “Everyone, get up quickly. We’re going fishing today.”
Gu Jinyuan felt a headache coming on. He said solemnly, “The fish in the lake are really difficult to catch. Ah Wei and I haven’t caught any in three days. We tried all kinds of methods, but it’s useless. The fish there are very clever. They escape us every time.”
“We have to give it a try. Otherwise, we won’t have any food soon. Furthermore, I have to make sure that the four great families don’t starve to death, so I can only rely on that lake. Everyone, get ready. We’ll set off later. We’ll study that lake and the fish in it properly.”
She wanted to see how fast the fish in the lake were.
After Xue Fanxin got ready, she led everyone out. It wasn’t really considered going out. She was just going to the lake not far away.
The four great families were all crowded here, busy with different activities. They were either fishing or soaking and swimming in the lake. From time to time, they would dive into the water, but they would quickly reappear on the surface. They did not dare to stay in the lake for too long.
When they saw Xue Fanxin and the others, they all looked at her strangely. Some of them even mocked her coldly, especially Third Master Xue, who was the loudest.
“Yo, doesn’t the Ninth Imperial Consort have a lot of food? Why do you need to come here to fish? Is it because you don’t have much food left and have no choice but to come here to get some?
“Without food, I want to see how you can still be arrogant in the future.”
“Do you believe that I’ll get someone to kick you into the lake?” Xue Fanxin’s warning shut Third Master Xue up. He did not dare to say another word.
No one spoke up unless they wanted to be kicked into the lake.
The two Spirit Transformation experts from before were still lying on the bed. They were injured quite heavily and were frightened.
The lake looked calm, but it was actually filled with turbulence. Everyone knew how terrifying it was. Even a Spirit Transformation expert had been kicked down so miserably. If it were them, they probably wouldn’t be able to survive.
Xue Fanxin despised the way the four great families bullied the weak and feared the strong, but she could not be bothered to waste time with these people. She turned her attention to the lake and squatted down in a deserted place. Reaching her hand into the lake, she stared at the surface for a long time.
There were quite a few fish in the lake. Occasionally, one could see them swimming, but they could not catch them.
Furthermore, the fish were not afraid of people and even dared to swim by the shore. They swam there leisurely as if they were provoking the people on the shore.
“These fish are so strange!”
“What’s so strange about the Electric Water Eel?” Little Lei said. He arrogantly sat on the shore and threw rocks into the water, with every single one hitting the fish. After five throws, four fish were beaten up by him and did not dare to swim or provoke him anymore.
After a while, all the fish in the lake disappeared. There was not even a shadow of a fish.
