Xia Tianqiong arrived at the basement of Wujian Restaurant and listened to Song Shiqiao introduce the business situation.

Unexpectedly, the grocery store and bar have earned him a lot of ghost money over the past two years. Even without using forbidden techniques, he can live a good life based on the income from these places.

In addition, the loan business helped him acquire hundreds of strange creatures, most of which were fierce and evil, and a few were malevolent.

He left the Wujian Restaurant with these strange feelings in his heart and stayed in Changxing City for more than three days.

Almost everything usable in the city was looted, even the doors, windows, tables, chairs, sofas and other household items in some homes were taken.

Next, Xia Tianqiong set off again.

This time, instead of searching for other strange occurrences, they specifically sought out eerie scenes that concealed forbidden techniques.

If someone else obtains it and uses forbidden techniques like him, then this world is truly doomed, so it must be found as soon as possible.

In my previous life, I wandered to a seaside city and overheard some strange conversations. They said that an ancient and eerie scene had appeared in the human world, and there might be a way to quickly make ghost money inside.

At that time, many strange beings were searching in that city. Xia Tianqiong was also bewitched. Despite being very weak, he still wanted to compete with so many powerful strange beings for opportunities.

But coincidentally, he was the first to discover the entrance to that eerie scene by the sea, and also the first to see the forbidden techniques depicted in the murals.

The only pity is that he didn't make it out alive and was killed by Leng Tianpeng who arrived later.

Of course, we should also thank Leng Tianpeng, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to live a second life.

Summer Qiong rode the White Dragon King, flying hundreds of kilometers to Taohai City, located by the sea.

This was originally a tourist city with a population of six or seven million, but now, when viewed from the air, it is a scene of devastation, and there are not many people to be seen.

However, there are quite a few fishing boats fishing in the coastal waters.

In coastal cities like this, food is not too scarce, since the ocean has abundant fish resources.

"Keep up the good work, once we finish this net, it'll be time for us to head back."

A dilapidated blue fishing boat was hauling in its nets. The one speaking was the captain, Zhao Qun, who looked to be in his forties and had a weathered face.

There were four other people on the boat. Besides one person steering, the other three were helping to haul in the net, which was full of fish of all sizes.

Today's harvest was good, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.

One of the young men was eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and thin, and his skin was dark from years of exposure to the sun.

He gripped the fishing net tightly with both hands, pulling it forcefully onto the boat. As he worked, he said, "Dad, let's go a little further. There aren't many fish around here; we can catch more if we go further out."

Zhao Qun shook his head repeatedly, "No, if we drive any further, we might encounter a fish demon."

The others disagreed as well; none of them wanted to encounter the fish demon, a strange creature that could destroy a ship and kill its inhabitants.

Zhao Haiqing's face showed a hint of longing. "Dad, I want to catch fish demons and become a demon hunter. Otherwise, our family will always be exploited by others."

Before his father could reply, a man in his thirties next to him chuckled slyly, "You little rascal, you want to catch a mermaid as your wife, don't you?"

Another young man on the boat chimed in, "Xiao Qing, doing that with a human or a ghost will shorten your lifespan. I heard that Fatty Wang from the patrol team caught a female fish demon, and she's incredibly beautiful."

He used to weigh over 200 pounds, but in less than three months, he's become as thin as a stick, and looks listless. Haha, you wouldn't be thinking of becoming Ghost Rider like him, would you?

Since the arrival of the supernatural, people have gradually discovered that humans and supernatural beings can also have sex, but it will cost them their lifespan.

Most people can endure it for the sake of their lives. But some strange things are too alluring, or possess seductive powers, and quite a few people can't resist.

Zhao Haiqing blushed deeply, as if his secret had been exposed.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Qun immediately warned him, "The fish demon is very dangerous. If we encounter it, we must run for our lives immediately. We are just ordinary people and do not have the ability to contract it."

"Why not? I've already found out. As long as you know the method, making a contract isn't difficult."

Zhao Haiqing was very dissatisfied and thought to himself that one day he would catch a fish demon and show it to them.

He spoke as he pulled the net, his upper body sometimes close to the sea surface as the boat rocked.

Suddenly, a human face emerged from the sea, right in front of him, and he was immediately startled.

This face is exceptionally delicate, with a pointed chin, large eyes, and even natural blue contact lenses, making her look like a mixed-race beauty.

"Want to go diving with me?"

Its voice is also very pleasant, soft and gentle, like a girl next door.

Zhao Haiqing stood there, stunned, whether from fright or from excessive excitement, completely forgetting to respond.

"Set sail! Set sail!"

Zhao Qun shouted immediately, dropped the fishing net, and ran over to pull his son away. The others also quickly retreated back into the boat, not daring to meet the fish demon's gaze.

Zhao Haiqing finally realized what was happening and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"I'd be willing to go diving with you."

He had already found out that if he refused, he would trigger the rules and be attacked by the fish demon.

If you agree to dive, as long as you stay in the sea for more than three minutes, the rules can be lifted, and there is a certain chance that you can persuade the fish demon to sign an equal contract with him.

Just as Zhao Haiqing was about to jump, Zhao Qun arrived and grabbed him.

"You can't hold your breath for more than two minutes; you'll drown if you go down."

"Don't pull me, let me try, just in case!"

Zhao Haiqing struggled desperately to break free from his father, but by then the boat had already begun to accelerate away from the area.

But the fish demon swam incredibly fast, steadily following alongside the boat, and occasionally casting seductive glances at Zhao Haiqing with its captivating eyes.
