For Freedom, fishing could both pass the time and provide an opportunity to practice cultivation. Most importantly, it allowed him to enjoy this moment of leisure!
In these more than a year’s time, Freedom had been busy studying diligently and collecting materials for alchemy and earning money. He also spent his evenings chatting with Wang Yanyu, leaving him hardly any free time.
He needed to thank Miss Ling Xiao today; it was her who took him out, allowing him to steal a moment of leisure!
"Soon I can be this relaxed too. The things that need doing are almost done!" Freedom murmured softly as he stared at the float.
As he had said, during these more than a year’s time, his studies had allowed him to know this land well, and he had completed all of his skill training.
Freedom did not start from scratch; there were many things that remained the same. He simply needed to learn what he previously didn’t have, but it wasn't like everything here was better than the Godly Might Continent. There were still quite a few areas in which the Godly Might Continent had an advantage.
For example, sword forging, mechanisms, medicine, and alchemy all had fewer materials on this continent compared to the Godly Might Continent but didn't have inferior techniques. He only needed to add some new knowledge; he basically did not need to learn other things.
The cultivation here was easier, which meant that many people chose to take up martial arts, leading to a contraction in certain industries and causing them to fall behind technologically.
For every good thing there is a bad, it’s an axiom. Whether the difference lies in time or space, each place has its own strengths!
"Got one!" Freedom reeled in a fish but then released it back into the lake because it was too small for him to keep.
“Carry on!”
Putting on another bait, Freedom threw his hook back into the lake and started fishing while cultivating and watching the battle from afar. He could still see clearly despite the distance.
The fish that he caught were quickly released back into the water. This time it wasn’t because they were small but rather because there was no place to put them, as he only fished for the joy of catching one and not for eating.
He’d catch the last few just so that he could eat…
"Hey, Mystic Turtle Ling Xiao, your servant seems to be fishing over there…" Vermilion Bird Thunder noticed Freedom who should have been nearby but had gone off to fish during a brief pause between fights. She found this strange.
Mystic Turtle Ling Xiao replied nonchalantly, "Let him do as he pleases; I can't fathom my servant any more!"
She didn’t care what Freedom was doing since all she knew was that he could help her get rid of Merchant Sword Spirit, which was enough.
And now that Merchant Sword Spirit wasn't around, she couldn’t have cared less where Freedom went off to!
"Vermilion Bird Descent!"
"You actually launched a sneak attack!"
"Hehe…"
Just as they spoke, Vermilion Bird Thunder attacked and almost injured Mystic Turtle Ling Xiao. But Mystic Turtle Ling Xiao’s Mystic Tortoise True Energy was formidable; she instantly covered her body with it to barely block the blow.
Mystic Turtle Ling Xiao fumed, unleashing the Seventh Sword of Supreme Sword Dao…
"Eh This is…"
Vermilion Bird Thunder immediately scrambled frantically and narrowly avoided being hit but her clothes were torn in the process.
“My clothes! I spent fifty taels on them… Mystic Turtle Ling Xiao!!”
The battle intensified. The fight now became much more exciting, but Freedom paid little attention to it; he was more focused on fishing.
At the same time, however, he could no longer pay any attention to his fishing because an unexpected person appeared!
"Eh You seem rather relaxed. Fishing here"
A figure suddenly appeared next to Freedom while he was fishing and sat on a stone not far from him.
...
Freedom fell silent, as the person had come without any warning and had already arrived by the time he became aware of her presence. He didn’t react because he knew this person.
In fact, even if he hadn’t known her, given her abilities, Freedom’s best decision would have been to remain still—to meet every change with immobility—since such a powerful opponent wouldn't likely bother about someone as insignificant as himself.
He had never offended anyone Oh right, that Merchant Sword Spirit. He probably couldn’t even summon this person.
"Moonlit Fox" Freedom looked over in confusion; he hadn’t expected to run into the Moonlit Fox here. The woman was indeed terrifying: the stronger his power became, the farther away she seemed to be.
“What’s wrong You're surprised” Moonlit Fox smiled and sat down as she stared at Freedom.
"Hmm, why are you here Don’t tell me you’re fishing too," Freedom said as he looked at the woman. He knew that this woman was dangerous, and he needed to be cautious around her.
Moreover, Freedom felt that Moonlit Fox’s appearance in a place meant something significant would happen there.
"I truly did come for the fish, but not to catch them with a fishing rod; I came to capture them," said Fox Undermoon as she looked at the lake surface.
"Capture fish What kind of fish here would be worth your effort" asked Free-and-Easy with some confusion.
"What! My old self, kid, do you know that just this sentence can send you to the Western Paradise," said Fox Undermoon looking at Free-and-Easy with a sly smile, and it was unknown what she planned to do next.
"Sorry, I'm wrong. I spoke out of turn. This is actually an expression of respect!" Free-and-Easy immediately said; he could not afford to offend this woman.
"Call me Fox Undermoon sister from now on. I don't need such respect," said Fox Undermoon with a smile.
Free-and-Easy was speechless, how old are you big sis Why should I call you my sister
"Do you want to ask me how old I am If you dare to ask, I will immediately kill you," said Fox Undermoon with a smile.
Shit, good thing I didn't say it out loud and saved myself!
"Well then, Miss Fox Undermoon, what are you here for Don't play around with me like this. Is that interesting" asked Free-and-Easy unhappily.
"Of course it's interesting! I think you're quite amusing! But, as I said before, I am truly here to capture fish. This Rainlistening Lake is no ordinary lake. It’s a bottomless lake with underground river channels at the bottom. Sometimes some strange fish appear, and they are extremely valuable," Fox Undermoon explained to Free-and-Easy.
"There's such a thing Looks like I know too little about this place. Why would there be stones in the center of this deep lake" said Free-and-Easy in confusion; normally, a bottomless lake should not have floating objects.
"Just go down and see for yourself!" Fox Undermoon pushed Free-and-Easy into the water with one hand.
*splash*
Free-and-Easy fell into the water. He didn't even curse, who knew if Fox Undermoon would be in a bad mood and kill him So he took the opportunity to dive down and keep his distance from her; anyway, there was just a fishing rod up top that had been picked up.
Free-and-Easy dived into the lake. He discovered that Rainlistening Lake's structure was very strange. The rocks in the center of the lake were not coming up from the bottom but sloping from the sides. Furthermore, as Fox Undermoon said, this Rainlistening Lake is indeed bottomless.
Should I go down and see
No way! Free-and-Easy didn't know what was happening below; he also had no equipment for underwater breathing. It would be very unwise to dive in without preparation.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Fox Undermoon said she came here to capture fish. This kind of fish might well be a type of demon beast. The power of such an underwater demon beast is formidable under water; encountering it without any preparation would likely lead to a fatal outcome.
Swim over, swim towards the shore...
"Huh Why isn't this kid coming up Did something happen" Fox Undermoon wondered after waiting for a while and not seeing Free-and-Easy surface. She was guessing if he had been eaten by some demon fish.
That demon fish wasn’t simple; otherwise, she wouldn't have to do it herself. But the kid just now didn't make any sound before being eaten—unless this demon fish's level isn't as simple as she thought.
"Hey, Kid, are you dead" Fox Undermoon shouted at the calm lake water; she couldn’t sense his aura underwater and didn’t know if he was still alive or not.
"Tortoise Spirit Xiao, I just saw your servant being pushed into the lake by someone," said Vermilion Bird Thunder, pointing to where Fox Undermoon stood.
"What Who's so bold" asked Tortoise Spirit Xiao without turning around. How could she be sure if Vermilion Bird Thunder was telling the truth or trying to distract her
"I don’t know. This woman is beautiful!" Vermilion Bird Thunder looked at Fox Undermoon, somewhat dazed.
Even I feel like this, what would men think when they see her!
Vermilion Bird Thunder didn't know that it was because of her seductive skills that she could have such an effect. Although she herself is beautiful enough to attract any man.
Tortoise Spirit Xiao saw Vermilion Bird Thunder retreat and look in one direction, so she thought Vermilion Bird Thunder wasn’t joking around with her. She followed his gaze and also looked at Fox Undermoon, similarly dazed.
"She is truly beautiful, but did she just push my servant into the water" Tortoise Spirit Xiao said coldly after a brief compliment. She was about to go find Fox Undermoon to settle accounts with her.
And if she were to confront Fox Undermoon, the result would likely be being pushed into the lake by her; Fox Undermoon wouldn’t show any mercy toward women because she herself is one.
*whoosh*
At this moment, Free-and-Easy appeared before Tortoise Spirit Xiao and Vermilion Bird Thunder, breaking the calmness of Rainlistening Lake's surface as he emerged from underwater!
"Free-and-Easy, you’re fine..." Tortoise Spirit Xiao was about to ask something but was interrupted.
"Run!"
After coming out of the water, Free-and-Easy immediately ran forward without any pause and shouted at them as if being chased by something behind him.
What’s going on
There's a fish!
So it was because he was being chased by a fish. Wait, being chased by a fish Why does one need to run when being chased by a fish truly transcend their limits."Battlefield I want to go too!" the miss lady suddenly said, which startled everyone."Miss Lady, I'm not talking about you, but them!" Xiaoyao replied immediately, he did...
