"Young master, your arrival at our little ferry crossing is truly a blessing for our village!" Madam Xu couldn't help but bow deeply in gratitude to Ye Liang.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liang felt sorry for them again and gestured for them to stand up. He then said, "Auntie, you're too kind. It was nothing. You don't need to take it to heart."

He suddenly smiled and said to his master and Madam Xu, "Master, it's time for me to go fishing. I'd like to inform you that I'm going to fish by the lake outside the village."

"Go ahead." The master smiled, knowing that Ye Liang had a habit of fishing every day, so he naturally agreed immediately.

"Young master, the lakeside is teeming with crabs, it's dangerous!" Madam Xu, unaware of the situation, was about to dissuade him when Zhang Yuzhen reached out and grabbed her arm, saying, "Don't worry, let him go. No matter how dangerous the lakeside outside the village is, it's alright if he goes. He'll be fine!"

Upon hearing Zhang Yuzhen's words, Madam Xu exclaimed with delight, "Young Master, you truly possess such strength? Then our Xiaodukou Village is truly saved!"

Ye Liang is going fishing, and his junior sister is so happy that she definitely wants to go with him.

Not only did she go alone, but she also happily pulled her new friend, Xu Nana, along, saying, "Xiao Na, let's go watch Ye Liang fish too."

"Shall we go too?" the girl asked, looking a little worried. "The rooms at home aren't finished being cleaned yet!"

The junior sister smiled and said, "It's almost all cleaned up. There's just a little bit left, so let the senior sisters clean that up. They won't blame us."

Even after saying that, the young girl Xu Xiaona still felt that it was inappropriate, but she was still forcibly dragged away by her senior sister.

The senior sisters just laughed it off, not thinking that their junior sister was being lazy by going to watch Ye Liang fish and not wanting to stay and clean. They all knew that their junior sister was inseparable from Ye Liang, so how could they not be used to her following him wherever he went?

Second Senior Sister happily added, "Let's hurry up and finish cleaning. There's still a lot to do. Didn't we say we were going to buy some rice to give to those in need in the village?"

The eldest sister nodded gently, and then immediately followed her master into the Xu family home to continue cleaning the rooms.

There are indeed many things to do today, so I need to hurry, otherwise, there really won't be enough time.

We arrived at the lake.

The lakeside is still very beautiful.

Even though many wooden boat wrecks were washed back by the waves and piled up on the shore, it was somewhat of an eyesore.

These large shipwrecks also reveal just how many boats were sunk in this lake by crabs.

Along the lake, there are many blue crabs that have taken over the entire shoreline. If anyone gets too close, they will be relentlessly chased and killed by the blue crabs.

These blue crabs are a nightmare for everyone in Xiaodukou Village, who suffers greatly from them.

Therefore, upon arriving here, Xu Nana and Xu Xiaofu were already somewhat nervous and uneasy even before they got close to the lake.

Over the past year, the lakeside has become a forbidden zone for them.

You can't get close.

Getting close means certain death!

However, this worry quickly dissipated after Ye Liang cleared out a large number of Green Spirit Crabs.

As the young girl Xu Na could clearly see, no matter how many Azure Spirit Crabs there were, they couldn't harm Ye Liang in the slightest.

With him around, this lakeside, no matter how dangerous it used to be, is now safe.

The clearing of a large, safe stretch of lakeshore made the four little cuties extremely happy, seeing such a large and beautiful lake for the first time.

Running around on the soft sand by the lake, picking up small seashells and pretty pebbles, I was very excited.

The junior sister also pulled Xu Nana to sit on the trunk of a fallen, withered tree by the lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery where the water and sky blended into one.

"This lake is huge!" the junior sister exclaimed in admiration.

"Yes." Xu Nana was very excited that the beauty of her hometown could be recognized.

"They had a lot of fun too." Xu Nana smiled, a beautiful smile, pointing to the children who were having a great time. Among those children was her younger brother.

It had been a long time since I had seen her younger brother with such an innocent and carefree smile, the kind of smile that belongs to a child.

After sitting for a while, the junior sister ran over to Ye Liang, who was fishing, and asked him with a smile, "Ye Liang, what did you catch today?"

Ye Liang smiled and told his junior sister, "I caught some experience points. I leveled up instantly!"

Upon hearing this, the junior sister was immediately surprised and happily punched Ye Liang on the shoulder, saying, "Wow, Ye Liang! You caught enough experience points to level up just by fishing. That must be a lot of experience points!"

There are, of course, many.

Otherwise, Ye Liang wouldn't be happy.

"Master, there are no fish!"

The children ran around for a while and then came back, a little annoyed, to tell Ye Liang that they hadn't seen any fish.

Xu Xiaofu, in his childlike voice, told his friends, "There used to be fish! Now, there aren't."

"The lake has been infested with crabs, and all the small fish and shrimp will probably be eaten up." Xu Nana was also heartbroken when she talked about the lack of fish.

Ye Liang smiled and said, "Soon, there will be fish again."

"Really?" Xu Xiaofu clapped his hands excitedly when he heard that there would be fish in the future.

"Really." Ye Liang gently squatted down and said to him, "After I chase the crab king away tomorrow, there will be fish."

"Can Young Master really defeat the Crab King?" The young girl, Xu Nana, was so eager for Ye Liang to defeat the Crab King that she couldn't help but confirm it again and again.

"It will definitely work." Ye Liang smiled and assured them again that it would work, then led them back to the village.
