Chapter 432: Chapter 341 Yesterday Was Just a Visit_1

"You’re not busy today?" Zheng Yichen asked Qi Xiangyun, who was sitting next to him by the river. The girl no longer had the gloominess she did when the Demon Flower still existed, sitting beside Zheng Yichen with a beaming smile, watching as he fiddled with his fishing rod.

She occasionally cast a curious glance at the motorcycle parked not far away, atop which sat a ’young girl’ in an elaborate yet seemingly cumbersome black dress that she had never seen before.

It was another projection, the external manifestation of the core program of the motorcycle’s onboard computer. Qi Xiangyun had interacted with the entity on the way here and found that Lilith behaved nothing like a computer, but rather like communicating with a person.

To Qi Xiangyun, it felt as if she was Brother Chang Qing’s secretary.

There was also that black cloak; when she touched it, she felt a distinct air of malevolence and resentment, akin to a Supreme Demon Weapon, but it seemed more sentient. When she retracted her hand, she even felt as if some creature had tapped the back of her hand.

There was the sensation of a paw touching her.

"I’m the Clan Leader. As long as the reports below are handled properly, that’s enough. Then I do random personal inspections from time to time," Qi Xiangyun explained with a smile, taking out a new fishing rod from a package beside her.

"Last time, the investigation team from the town reported that there were normal fish here. Brother Chang Qing, have you encountered any?"

"I think the normal fish might have been eaten up," Zheng Yichen cast out his fishhook.

"Ah?" Qi Xiangyun’s mouth turned down slightly, "No worries. I’ve always had people collecting normal species; we also have fish farms."

At this, the girl seemed somewhat helpless, "It’s too hard for ordinary creatures to reproduce normally in this world, and too many species have already gone completely extinct."

For instance, tigers, which were once considered dangerous predators, would now be captured for conservation by Qi Xiangyun if one or two were found; they were rare protected animals that could completely disappear otherwise.

"Hahaha, you want to raise those little animals. When I get the chance, I’ll bring you a bunch," Zheng Yichen laughed, jiggling the fishing rod, and a mutated fish flew out, its sharp scales glinting with a metallic sheen in the sunlight like knives.

After the fish landed on the ground, it struggled violently, its scales easily scraping the dirt off the ground. Qi Xiangyun tapped the head of the fish with her Fire Dragon Scale Sword, and its thrashing stopped immediately.

She prodded the ground with her fishing rod and checked the fish, saying, "Hong Zhao and Yaoyao also bring back some pairs of small animals when they return, none of them large, and some fish are fry that they brought back."

"Mutated creatures are very ferocious, but they also bring a lot of benefits. Fish scales like these can be turned into armor with a little processing, and would be considered rare materials in the past. Brother Chang Qing, you’re really lucky to have caught such a fish on your first try."

"I used good bait," Zheng Yichen chuckled.

"I have some pretty good bait here too, made by a Diviner."

"What I used is personally made by the Dusk maidservant."

"...Ah?" For a moment, Qi Xiangyun gave up on the idea of showing her bait to Zheng Yichen and changed the subject, "Brother Chang Qing, what’s your relationship with the Dusk maidservant?"

"It’s kind of like a superior and subordinate relationship, I guess?" Zheng Yichen said uncertainly, "I am a Proxy Agent of Dusk, and the Dusk maidservant is the messenger."

"That doesn’t sound much like a superior-subordinate relationship."

"Well, I guess we’re both subordinates of Dusk. But, since I can’t interact with Dusk on that level, all I can do is complete the tasks assigned by Dusk and then wait for my vacation," Zheng Yichen said as he felt the fishing rod in his hand sink. After a brief struggle, he caught another big fish.

Looking at this fish, Zheng Yichen thought of Chiang Wei’s world and the titan fish that lived there; if he wasn’t wrong, the scales of those fish could be used as steel plating.

Looking at this one that was over one and a half meters long, the mutated animals in this world were essentially very large. Without the power of Inner Strength, size played a huge role in strength. The fish, now on land, leapt viciously and bit at Qi Xiangyun.

Qi Xiangyun swung her hand, slapping the fish on the head, her crimson Inner Strength exploding and shattering the fish’s brain instantly. Looking at the fish still twitching on the ground, she commented, "Some of these mutated creatures also have a high resistance to Inner Strength; if your Inner Strength isn’t powerful enough, you can’t penetrate their skin."

"Creatures of the new era," Zheng Yichen remarked as he knocked on the fish’s scales. Although they seemed to lag behind those of the titan fish, lacking their smoothness and clarity, their strength was not inferior. More importantly, Qi Xiangyun mentioned that these creatures could resist penetration by Inner Strength.

So, does that mean it has high magic resistance?

Zheng Yichen tried it out and found it to be quite good.

"Brother Chang Qing, didn’t you fish for these yesterday?" Qi Xiangyun asked, puzzled.

"No, I just came to check out the scene yesterday."

With that, Qi Xiangyun revealed a happy smile and sat down next to Zheng Yichen. When Zheng Yichen lifted his third fishing rod, the girl’s mentality experienced a slight change. She felt that perhaps it was because she was too close to Zheng Yichen that she couldn’t catch any fish.

But she couldn’t bear to move further away.

Swinging the empty fishing rod, the girl’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on Zheng Yichen. The fishing rods they used had no floats. As martial artists, why would they need to use floats for fishing? Relying on their mastery of the body and keen perception, they could determine whether the fish was hooked by the vibrations transmitted when the hook was touched.

More finesse was in discerning the slight vibrations in the water caused by the fish moving near the hook, which the rod holder could detect. Can’t detect? If one can’t, then it just means they’re not skilled enough.

At that moment, Zheng Yichen extended his hand towards Qi Xiangyun.

"What’s this?" Qi Xiangyun asked, looking at the small cloth bag in Zheng Yichen’s hand.

"Bait. It’s good not just for fishing but also attracts extraordinary creatures. It’s very dangerous, so be careful when using it." It was the bait Tia made for him, and he hadn’t used it all up yet.

"Can it be used as a trap?" Gazing at the item, Qi Xiangyun couldn’t help but ask.

"Of course, in certain dangerous situations, if someone were to crush this substance and throw it away in another location, the alien demons bringing danger should be attracted away in large numbers."

This thing was of little use to him anymore, but giving it to Qi Xiangyun might play a significant role in some future scenarios.

Like if alien demons attacked Qi Family Town, just release this thing elsewhere, and the demons brought by the intelligent ones should be lured away in droves. Initially invaders, but then the minions all run off, and as long as the opportunity is seized, eliminating them completely or partly shouldn’t be a big problem.

"This thing is too much of a cheat, fishing should be done in a normal way. Brother Chang Qing, don’t use this anymore," Qi Xiangyun said softly after putting away the small cloth bag, looking up at Zheng Yichen as he lifted his fishing rod.

Zheng Yichen swung the fishing rod and knocked the struggling fish in the air dead, "Ahem, alright, alright, I won’t use it. This method of fishing truly lacks challenge."

After he spoke, he cut off a segment of the fishing line and the used hook. There was no need to smear that special bait; he had just let the hook scrape against it.

With a new hook, the fishing returned to normal. Zheng Yichen closed his eyes slightly and finely attuned himself to the subtle vibrations on the fishing rod. Zheng Yichen was very sensitive to special powers, and his physical perception was not too shabby either.

He had learned body cultivation techniques from that world with a strength rating of four. He couldn’t achieve the level of control and skill with his body as that native powerhouse, but through unceasing effort, he had gained a fraction of that power.

Using that for fishing was enough and could also be used to practice and enhance his level, right?

No, he had come today specifically to relax, not to train, so anything would do. Thinking this way, Zheng Yichen relaxed his slightly furrowed brows, letting go of the need for detailed perception.

Qi Xiangyun, sitting beside him, sensed that Zheng Yichen’s aura had calmed down, as if he had fallen asleep, then guiltily moved a bit closer to him. She then revealed a shallow smile and focused on her fishing rod, waiting for the unlucky fish to bite the hook.

Crack—

Why does such a beautiful time have to be so fleeting? Hearing the faint noise, the cheerful Qi Xiangyun’s eyes gleamed with a faint blood light. She usually hid herself well, but her mastery of the Blood Asura martial arts was profound.

"Brother Chang Qing, leave it to me," she said, standing up and picking up the Supreme Demon Weapon that was planted beside her.

"No need to be so angry; it’s not even noon yet, we have plenty of time."

"Mhm..." Qi Xiangyun nodded, still with no intention of using the Fire Dragon Scale Sword. She looked towards the approaching alien demons, which stared intently at the Supreme Demon Weapon in her hand.

Qi Xiangyun held the heavy weapon, completely disproportionate to her size, with one hand. A weapon that should have been difficult to wield appeared quite agile in her grasp.

She took the initiative to move towards the alien demons that couldn’t contain themselves and charged over. Dark red thunder light emerged on the Supreme Demon Weapon, swallowing all the alien demons in an instant with a crimson lightning strike.

Her core martial arts were that of the Blood Asura, but when she practiced with Zheng Yichen’s blood, she acquired thunder attributes. The Blood Asura and this attribute weren’t at odds; the only issue might be practicing martial arts that leaned heavily towards a certain attribute being quite inappropriate for her.

There was no such problem with the Blood Asura. The thunder attribute made her practice of Thunder-type spells quite adept, and the color of the lightning was also normal. When she released lightning through the Blood Asura, it would be this blood-colored crimson lightning.
