"Is it really the Red Moon Carp?"Looking at the beautiful red figure on the fishhook, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised. It turned out to be the first kind of strange fish he had ever caught, the Red Moon Carp. Moreover, its size was much larger than the first one he had caught, at least three or four pounds. No wonder he felt that this strange fish was much stronger than before. It turned out to be such a big one. "Woof! Woof! Woof!" Seeing the Red Moon Carp floating in mid-air, Xiao Li was excited. Pacing back and forth along the shore, its tail wagging eagerly, it was clearly impatient. If it weren't for its dislike of water, Lu Qing suspected the little creature would have jumped in long ago. "Don't worry, I'll take it off for you right now." After calming Xiao Li, Lu Qing took the fish off and tossed it over. Whoosh! The fish had barely hit the ground when Xiao Li snatched it up and ran to the nearby grass to devour it. While eating, it twitched its ears, looking extremely content. Seeing the little one eating so happily, Lu Qing shook his head and continued fishing. Actually, he was also curious to taste the Red Moon Carp, as it was one of the top ten delicacies in the world. Having once tasted the Golden Loach, which was also one of the top ten delicacies, he still remembered the taste vividly. However, Lu Qing knew it was impossible to take food from Xiao Li's mouth. If he really did that, the little one would stare at him with pitiful eyes all day. So, he decided to continue fishing and see if he could catch another one. Maybe it heard Lu Qing's expectations. Not long after Xiao Li had only eaten half of the fish, another one bit the hook. "Could it be that the strange fish have gathered because I haven't fished for half a month?" Feeling the strength transmitted from the fishing rod, Lu Qing was pleasantly surprised. This pulling force could only come from a strange fish. More importantly, he felt this force was very familiar! After a while, pulling the fish up, Lu Qing was even more surprised. "It is indeed another Red Moon Carp. Could there be a shoal of Red Moon Carp down there?" Looking at the slightly smaller Red Moon Carp on the hook, Lu Qing couldn't help but fantasize. He quickly took the fish off and put it into the bucket, then baited the hook with two Blood Apricots and cast it again. Then, a quarter of an hour later, the float sank again. "Is there really a shoal of Red Moon Carp?" Seeing the third Red Moon Carp he caught, Lu Qing was both surprised and a little uneasy. Even if he hadn't fished for half a month, it shouldn't have resulted in so many strange fish all at once. There must be a reason for this. Lu Qing felt it might be necessary to find some time to investigate this matter thoroughly. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Although he was puzzled, he continued fishing since it was a rare opportunity. In the end, after catching two more Red Moon Carp, the float finally stopped moving. It was unclear if the Red Moon Carp below had been caught or if the continuous catches had scared the rest away. But Lu Qing was already very satisfied. This fishing trip had resulted in five Red Moon Carp. Apart from the one Xiao Li had eaten, there were still four left, enough for him, Xiao Yan, and his master to taste. "Xiao Li, you've already eaten the biggest one. You're full now. I can only give you two more, but you have to wait until tonight." Seeing Xiao Li's greedy look again, Lu Qing quickly said. Hearing this, Xiao Li was a bit disappointed. But it patted its small belly, feeling a bit full now, and decided that waiting until the evening was also acceptable. The best part was, it could eat two at once in the evening! With this thought, it suddenly became happy again. With excitement, one man and one beast started heading home. As for Xiao Yan, the little one had learned many characters by now, and her studies had become more demanding. Every morning, she had to go to the Halfway House for old doctor Chen's lessons. So if Lu Qing went fishing in the morning, Xiao Yan couldn't come along. Standing on Lu Qing's shoulder, Xiao Li's tail wagged leisurely. However, when they reached the village entrance, its ears twitched, and it suddenly pulled Lu Qing's hair with its paw. "What's wrong, Xiao Li?" Lu Qing asked. The little creature made a few gestures, and Lu Qing was slightly startled but kept a calm face. "Nothing, let's go home first." With a quickened pace, Lu Qing returned home, put everything down, and then looked at Xiao Li. "Xiao Li, you said you sensed a strong unfamiliar aura lurking nearby, not from our village, and quite powerful?" Xiao Li nodded. Lu Qing's expression became serious. Ever since he discovered Xiao Li's special sensing ability, he had it remember the auras of all the villagers. This way, if a stranger approached, it could detect it immediately. Now, a powerful martial artist was lurking nearby, which seemed suspicious. The first thing he thought of was the assassins from Seven Kill Tower. Honestly, since learning that Seven Kill Tower had issued an assassination order against him, Lu Qing was very displeased. To be so publicly announced as a target for assassination, and to be told he should feel honored, had made his dislike for Seven Kill Tower reach a peak. "Hopefully, it’s not what I think. Otherwise..." A cold glint appeared on Lu Qing's face. "Xiao Li, let's go meet this scoundrel." According to Xiao Li's sensing, the person was lurking on a small hill north of the village, observing the village's movements. Following Xiao Li's guidance, Lu Qing climbed over the back of the house into the bamboo forest, circled around to avoid being seen, and then quickly approached the location. With the power of his soul and the framework of the soul rune he had condensed, if Lu Qing truly hid his aura, even an ordinary Precelestial strongman wouldn't see through his facade. Possessing a precious artifact, he was also well-disguised. As for Xiao Li, with its innate stealth ability, it was even more concealed. So, the mysterious person lurking near the village, unaware of Lu Qing and Xiao Li's approach, continued to hide confidently in a large tree, quietly observing Jiuli Village below. He was very confident in his stealth skills. As long as he didn't reveal himself, no one could discover him. He had once assassinated a prince of a certain county, hiding under the prince's bed for an entire day and night without being detected by the prince's bodyguard, who was a Martial Grandmaster. He finally found the opportunity, killed the prince, and escaped the pursuit, successfully getting away. Even a Martial Grandmaster couldn't detect him, let alone that young man named Lu Qing. According to the information on the Hidden Dragon List, he was just at the initial stage of the Internal Organs Realm. Although it was surprising that someone at the Internal Organs Realm could make it onto the Hidden Dragon List, everyone knew the ranking on the Hidden Dragon List represented the probability of breaking through to the Precelestial Realm in the future, not current combat strength. Those ranked in the top ten of the Hidden Dragon List might not necessarily defeat those ranked lower. This young man made it onto the Hidden Dragon List because of his unparalleled cultivation talent. After all, reaching the Internal Organs Realm at seventeen was indeed terrifying. But talent was just talent, not strength. A seventeen-year-old at the Internal Organs Realm was astonishing, with limitless potential. But as long as he hadn't fully grown, he was just a genius. No matter how powerful he was, he couldn't have a stronger intuition than a Martial Grandmaster and detect his presence. Just when the mysterious man was full of confidence, he suddenly heard a voice from below. "My friend, will you come down yourself, or shall I pull you down personally?" Table of content
