Chapter 142: Chapter 142: It’s Not Like You’re Taking the Postgraduate Entrance Exam, No Need for a Mouthful of Slick Phrases

Moreover, when Ye Chen was manipulating the crane to lift me up yesterday, it was this old coot that was ridiculing me.

This old guy is clearly in cahoots with Ye Chen. To let this deaf and blind old man operate the tower crane, how could Cui Ruogou not be afraid?

But what truly shattered Cui Ruogou’s defenses was the phrase Ye Chen said just now.

"The sacrificial ritual begins, rise!"

In the past, this damned Ye Chen would perform these pretentious mystical acts, but they were always ordinary rituals.

Simply put, he would be on the shore casting spells.

But how come suddenly today it turned into a sacrificial ritual?

Cui Ruogou isn’t stupid, of course, he knows what a sacrifice entails.

Since it’s a sacrifice, there must be sacrificial offerings, right?

Sacrificial offerings...

Aren’t the sacrificial offerings none other than myself?

At this moment, near the artificial lake in Jinbao Residential Area, some onlookers who were oblivious to the grudge between Ye Chen and Cui Ruogou.

Were actually taken in by Ye Chen’s grey Daoist robe and his immensely mysterious demeanor.

But a small group of people who regularly follow Ye Chen, as well as the viewers in the live stream room, were almost dying of laughter.

Especially under such an absurd situation.

As Ye Chen’s only assistant, Liao Xuexue was particularly perceptive, promptly directing her phone camera at Cui Ruogou, who dangled mid-air with a face full of terror and misery.

This made Ye Chen’s so-called "sacrificial ritual" even more comedic.

For these viewers, they found Ye Chen’s use of mystical fishing somewhat believable.

But even more than this mystical fishing, they were convinced that Ye Chen was clearly out for revenge against Cui Ruogou!

Hence, the viewers in the live stream room began commenting their opinions in real time.

"OMG, hahaha, I’m dying laughing, Cui Ruogou looks just like a wild boar!"

"Teacher Ye is too much! Not to mention appointing old Liao as the crane operator, he even set up some kind of sacrificial ritual!"

"This scene feels so familiar, has anyone seen Journey to the West? Doesn’t it look like the scene where they capture the demon in the river?"

"I’ve seen that, you mean the movie directed by Zhou Tao right? Hahaha, I’m dead!"

"I’m genuinely worried that a giant python might jump out of the water and bite Cui Ruogou to death!"

"No way, there are so many people watching, and I believe Teacher Ye is just trying to scare him, who asked this guy to stoop so low just to ride the hype wave?"

"Exactly, and even if he really gets eaten by the python, it’s Cui Ruogou’s own doing. Didn’t he think of the danger when he incited those netizens to kidnap Teacher Ye?"

"Let me say one thing! Becoming bait for the python was his own choice; nobody forced him!"

"Hahaha, if that’s the case, I think Cui Ruogou is still hopping on the hype train by choosing to become bait for the python, it’s just that this time it’s a bit dangerous!"

"You guys are being too merciful towards this Cui Ruogou. Teacher Ye is too soft, it looks like Cui Ruogou is in danger, but I’ve done a lot of research. Pythons aren’t like fish in the water; they might just poke their heads above the surface. Even if this python is ten meters long, the height it can reach out of the water absolutely won’t exceed two meters, so Cui Ruogou is still very safe."

"Well, that’s not necessarily the case! What if Angry Iron Hand, old Liao’s hand shakes and he drops Cui Ruogou into the water, then it will be a completely different story!"

"Compared to this clout chaser Cui Ruogou, I’m more concerned about how Teacher Ye is actually going to fish the giant python out of the water. But looking at the situation, this crane’s hook is probably just for hanging Cui Ruogou!"

"Indeed, Teacher Ye is more likely to use a fishing rod to catch that giant python!"

"Are you implying that Teacher Ye is simply using Cui Ruogou to attract the python, rather than actually using him as bait?"

"Of course, that’s the case. If Cui Ruogou was really used as bait, wouldn’t he be done for the moment the python took a bite?"

"Regardless, let’s see what happens next. If Teacher Ye really manages to fish out the giant python today, he truly deserves the accolade ’eternal fame’!"

"Indeed, if the streamer actually manages to fish out that giant python from the water, I think Jiang City should award Teacher Ye several banners. He would really be removing a threat for the people!"

"Do you remember the officer mocking Teacher Ye in the beginning, telling him not to lose sight of his priorities and to do something constructive for society, instead of just obsessing over fishing? Well, Teacher Ye is about to do just that, and through fishing no less, haha!"

...

At this moment, Ye Chen isn’t concerned about the gifts in the live stream room or the comments scrolling by.

His attention is on Cui Ruogou, hanging above the artificial lake.

Despite his solemn expression and donning a grey Taoist robe, which made him look quite handsome and gave off an air of immortal finesse,

Ye Chen actually couldn’t help but laugh internally at the miserable face of Cui Ruogou.

Suppressing his urge to laugh and putting on a serious facade, he continued with the so-called "ritual."

He skillfully prepared the line with a thickness of a mouthful on his costly fishing rod known for its tremendous weight capacity.

Then he extended the fishing rod.

This time, he pointed the fishhook directly at Cui Ruogou’s forehead and proclaimed,

"Man as hook, fish for snake without mishap!"

After retracting the fishing rod, Ye Chen looked at the bitter-faced, furious Cui Ruogou.

Then, he lightly touched Cui Ruogou’s belly with the fishhook.

"Man as hook, fishing for snake is a sure catch!"

Finally, Ye Chen used the tip of the fishing rod.

"Man as rod, today we fish for snake, it must appear!"

After uttering the deep yet hardly rhyming mnemonic,

Someone in the crowd couldn’t hold back anymore.

What was a serious and silent crowd suddenly burst into laughter.

From a distance, Wang Lindong, with an incredulous face, turned to Zhou Tao: "Xiao Zhou, are... are you sure this guy can really fish out the giant python from the water?"

"This..." Zhou Tao scratched his head with some embarrassment and gave a forced smile: "I think there should be no problem."

Wang Lindong snorted, "Which legit descendant of the Heavenly Master Sect can’t even rhyme their mnemonics?"

"What kind of mnemonic is ’today we fish for snake, it must appear!’ anyway?"

"Director, he’s not taking a postgraduate entrance exam, he doesn’t need catchy mnemonics!" Zhou Tao consoled from the side: "Who cares if it doesn’t rhyme? As long as he can fish out the giant python in the end, isn’t that good enough?"

"Tsk tsk..." Wang Lindong smacked his tongue, giving Zhou Tao a look as if he were watching a fool: "Lucky it wasn’t our officer who invited Ye Chen."
