The bow area is where the helmsman, captain, and crew of the Exploding Sky Gang are located.

Ye Feng looked over curiously.

The boat captain was holding an enormous fishing rod, seemingly wrestling with some kind of behemoth.

The entire fishing rod had been pulled into a large bow shape.

The captain exhaled and stomped his foot heavily.

He slowly backed away, holding the fishing rod.

The crew members were cheering loudly, but no one stepped forward to help.

Ye Feng was aware of this.

A fisherman really dislikes having someone else handle him when he's playing a fish.

I wonder what kind of fish it can catch while it's flying in the sky?

The boat captain was still retreating, and the giant creature he was fighting with gradually revealed a huge oval-shaped fish head.

The fish head swayed from side to side, still struggling fiercely.

Strangely, the fish head appeared out of thin air.

It seems as if it was pulled out of another time and space.

The captain continued to retreat, and the fish's body was pulled out of the void rift.

Ye Feng's eyes lit up when he saw the fish's peculiar shape.

What he found most interesting was the fish's dorsal fin.

Like a ribbonfish, the entire fish, from head to tail, has a dorsal fin.

There are still two rows.

The dorsal fin is quite long, like the spray from a whale's spout splitting in the middle.

Its thick, dark body has two white stripes running vertically across it.

[A 25-year-old Void Kun. 12 meters long and weighing 1000 jin (approximately 500 kg). Legend has it that it is a descendant of the Kunpeng, capable of swimming in the void and emitting a piercing cry. Its flesh is firm and elastic, making it an excellent ingredient for sashimi.]

The Void Kun was pulled onto the deck, where it continued to jump and thrash about.

It emitted a sound that resembled a demonic chant.

Ye Feng quickly shut off his hearing, which made him feel a little better.

The captain and crew, who had been in high spirits just moments before, suddenly flew into a rage.

A group of people rolled up their sleeves and jumped onto the fish, giving it a good beating.

He was still cursing under his breath.

Ye Feng quickly activated his hearing.

"Damn it! After all that work, this is all we got? Beat him to death!"

"Damn it! His screams are awful enough, but the meat tastes awful too!"

"Avenge the boss! Stomp him to death!"

The Void Kun, which was originally lively and playful, was slapping the ship's deck with its tail.

He was immediately beaten so badly that his eyes rolled back in his head.

He collapsed to the ground shortly afterward, unable to jump up again.

Ye Feng quickly went over to stop them.

If they keep fighting, they'll probably turn into mincemeat. What's the point of making sashimi then?

"Boss Xu, could you please stop? I have a favor to ask."

The boat captain, Xu Shan, was also taken aback when he heard the voice.

Turning my head, I saw that it was today's tenant.

We adhere to the principle that the customer is God.

Xu Shan ignored him and continued to beat up the Void Kun.

After all, God has no control over the East, much less this fantastical world.

Ye Feng was extremely embarrassed.

"I'll buy it!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been fighting with such fervor that they had completely lost their composure, immediately stopped.

The boat captain rubbed his hands together, a warm smile on his face.

"Thank you for your patronage. Here are 20 mid-grade spirit stones for you."

Ye Feng gave him a speechless look.

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Or do I look like the foolish son of a landlord?

"One low-grade spirit stone."

Ye Feng bargained.

The boat captain's expression immediately turned fierce again.

It's a complete chameleon.

"Sir, your bargaining is putting me in a difficult position!"

Ye Feng calmly took out a low-grade spirit stone.

"Then I'll absorb half of the spiritual energy first, and then buy your Void Kun."

The boat captain flashed and took the spirit stone from Ye Feng's hand.

He smiled warmly and said, "Just one low-grade spirit stone is fine; consider it a token of friendship."

The Void Kun is utterly useless.

Not only does it have absolutely no medicinal value, but it also tastes terrible.

It's cooked, but it smells fishy.

If you don't cook it thoroughly, it'll feel like chewing rubber.

A complete and utter piece of trash.

Although a low-grade spirit stone is small, it's still something you get for free.

Elder Jian Chen walked to Ye Feng's side and looked at the Void Kun.

"Why did you buy this thing? It's a complete waste."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What's worthless in other people's hands might be quite different in mine."

Upon hearing this, the boat captain burst into laughter:

"I've heard this kind of talk many times before, and I always thought that we could bring out the value of the Void Kun, but in the end... hahaha."

"Shall we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?"

"I'm going to use this Void Kun to cook something in a bit. You just need to eat one piece. If you say it's bad, I lose; if you say it's good, I win, okay?"

The boat captain's eyes immediately lit up.

Isn't this just eagerly handing over money?

Even if you're a great cook, can you control what I say?

If it tastes bad, I'll say it doesn't. What can you do about it?

"What are we betting on?"

"Let's bet a mid-grade spirit stone."

"Let's gamble!"

The boat captain and Ye Feng gave each other a high five, and the bet was officially settled.

One mid-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 10 low-grade spirit stones, so it's not considered a huge gamble.

Elder Jian Chen shook his head helplessly.

He thought to himself, "This kid is still a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He has little experience and he will suffer losses."

The Void Kun is such a useless thing that no one has been able to develop its value over the years.

You think you can take it down in no time?

Oh well, it's just a spirit stone anyway. Let him gamble if he wants.

When the boat captain walked back, the crew members all gathered around him.

"Boss, boss, what did that kid say to you?"

“I saw him give two high fives, they must have made a bet.”

"You're betting with our boss? That's really something else, you've really opened my eyes!"

"That's right, who doesn't know that our boss has never lost a bet?"

"Brother Xu, tell me quickly, what's the bet?"

The boat captain laughed and said, "He said he can make this Void Kun incredibly delicious in a moment, and I'll say it's delicious after I've tasted it."

"Holy crap! Isn't this just handing money over to our boss?"

"I'm feeling a bit feverish today, my urine is quite yellow. Should I spray him to wake him up?"

"I'll do it. I've collected a lot, so I'll give him a good bath!"

"Haha, with our boss's integrity, he wouldn't admit it even if it tasted good!"

Um?

Upon hearing this, the boat captain glared and immediately gave the boatman who had spoken a potsticker.

"Do you think I'm that kind of person, boss?!"

...

Ye Feng naturally couldn't hear their conversation.

He had already dragged the Void Kun back to the cabin.

The disciples stopped pretending and surrounded Ye Feng as soon as he entered.

Ningyue asked curiously, "What use does Junior Uncle have for this Void Kun?"

"Cooking, what else can we do?"

As Ye Feng answered, he instructed, "Don't just stand there, use your magic to clean it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of green lights flashed on Kun's body.

Once the green light faded, the fish's body was so smooth it could be used as a mirror.
