Chapter 325

Fortunately, Cheng Hui’s requirements are not high, as long as there is something to gain.

Compared to those who waited for a long time but failed to catch a single fish...

Only one fish was caught tonight.

Fortunately, Cheng Hui's requirements are not high, as long as there is something to gain.

Compared to those monks who waited for a long time but still failed to catch a fish, their luck was already quite good.

In this way, three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Cheng Hui once again waited for the arrival of the school of fish.

It’s still the familiar little red-dot fish, the familiar…free food and drink.

Cheng Hui was already numb. This little fish clearly wouldn't be fooled, but for some reason it would bite the hook every time.

Oddly enough, after this little fish escaped, other moonfish quickly took the bait. It was almost as if the little fish's behavior emboldened them...

Cheng Hui suddenly had an idea and looked at the red fish: "Did you take the bait on purpose? Did you do that to help me fish?"

The red-dotted fish swung its tail, revealing a cunning expression in Cheng Hui's surprised eyes.

"Qingyang, Qingyang, look, this little fish has really become a spirit!" Cheng Hui pulled Lin Qingyang excitedly.

Lin Qingyang looked at the little fish helplessly and raised his eyebrows.

It’s hard to say whether it’s a spirit or not, but this little fish is quite smart.

But... would the Moonlight Fish betray its own kind? Lin Qingyang wondered doubtfully.

Next, it became the stage for Cheng Hui and Xiaoyu. The two cooperated with each other to trick those hapless moonlight fish.

I don’t know how the inherited memory of the moonlight fish works, but after all, if Cheng Hui catches one, they will learn their lesson and stay away from it.

This is when the smaller fish come into play. They'll take the bait and then flee, and the other fish will think this person isn't dangerous...

After doing this back and forth operation, Cheng Hui successfully caught three fish.

He actually caught three moonfish in one night. If Cheng Hui told others about this, it would be enough to brag about it for a whole year.

After being deceived by three fish in a row, these moonlight fish, no matter how stupid they were, knew that there was some danger here. No matter how the small fish tried to stop them, they still swam away.

The red-dot fish came back and wagged its tail helplessly at Cheng Hui, indicating that it was powerless to do anything.

Cheng Hui was already very satisfied and casually sprinkled another handful of bait.

But this time, the little fish did not swallow the bait immediately. Instead, it used its tail to hit the bait back to the boat one by one.

Cheng Hui: ???

The little fish shook its tail and showed a disgusted expression.

Cheng Hui asked tentatively, "You don't want to eat anymore?"

The little fish shook its head.

Cheng Hui continued to ask: "So you are... tired of eating?"

Xiaoyu paused and nodded reluctantly.

Cheng Hui scratched his head, thought for a while, and took out a spiritual herb from the ring.

The little fish excitedly swung its tail and jumped out of the water, making a beautiful splash, obviously very excited.

This magical herb is very expensive if you buy it outside. I wonder how many people would stamp their feet and beat their chests in regret if it were used to feed fish.

But who is Cheng Hui? No matter how expensive the spiritual herbs are, can they be more expensive than the Moonlight Fish?

If he could make the little fish happy, he could continue fishing next time. Without the little fish, how could he have achieved the epic achievement of catching three fish in one night!

In order to make the little fish happy, Cheng Hui tore the spiritual herbs into pieces and slowly sprinkled them into the water.

The little fish pecked at the food quickly, not leaving even the smallest fragments behind.

After eating and drinking, the little fish happily swam away, wagging its tail. Before leaving, it tilted its head towards Cheng Hui, its big eyes narrowed into slits, making it look like it was smiling.

Cheng Hui also smiled widely, waved at the little fish, and watched it leave.

On the way back, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang chatted about family matters. When they mentioned the small fish, Lin Qingyang suddenly said, "It may not be a moonfish."

Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment. If it wasn't a moonlight fish, what could it be? Although it was an exaggeration to say that this small fish was selling its own kind, it was precisely because it could sell its own kind that it proved to be a moonlight fish.

Otherwise, why would other moonfish be fooled?

"I'm not sure now, let's wait and see." Lin Qingyang was just suspicious. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he couldn't make a conclusion. So he temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart and planned to observe and see.

This time, it took a full seven days to finally see the moonlight fish. Cheng Hui looked at the much larger school of fish and felt a wave of doubt in his heart: Has this school of fish...changed again? It seemed like it wasn't the same school as last time.

It's strange to say, except for the small red fish, other moonlight fish rarely have other colors on their bodies. There are only one or two occasionally, and they are often in an excluded position in the group. Cheng Hui has seen that when the fish are fighting for bait, any moonlight fish with other colors on their bodies will be squeezed to the outside.

The only exception is the red-spotted fish.

Its status is very strange.

Once again, I cooperated with the red-spotted fish and tricked two fish.

This time, the moonlight fish school seemed to be smarter than last time. After having two fish deceived, they said they would never be fooled again. No matter how the small fish performed, they refused to approach the bait.

The little fish swam to the side of the boat with a helpless expression.

Don’t ask how Cheng Hui could see this expression on a fish face...he just saw it.

The red-spotted fish returned failed, and Cheng Hui had to comfort it kindly, fearing that its confidence would be dashed.

Fortunately, the little fish was not as fragile as he imagined. It quickly cheered up and started its performance again.

Unfortunately, this time the fish not only did not fall for the trick, but also swam away quickly, leaving Cheng Hui and the lonely little fish looking at each other in silence.

Eh... these days, even fish are hard to fool...

The little fish knocked on the boat with its tail nervously, showing a pitiful expression.

Cheng Hui was stunned for a moment before he realized that the little fish probably felt that the effect was not good today and was embarrassed to ask him for the spiritual herbs.

Well, this is purely overthinking. Compared with the moonlight fish, this little spiritual herb is nothing.

Not only did Cheng Hui give it another spiritual herb, but the quality of the spiritual herb was even better than the last time.

The little fish was so excited that it swam in circles in the sea, and occasionally jumped out of the water to express its gratitude with its graceful posture.

Cheng Hui watched the dancing little fish with a smile. To be honest, he always liked furry little animals, but looking at such a human-like and cute little fish, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to raise a fish.

"Hey, Qingyang, do you think we should raise a fish?" Cheng Hui asked casually.

The little fish that was swimming happily suddenly shuddered and felt a little cold on its back, as if it was being stared at by some predator.

It looked around vigilantly, but could not find the source of danger, so it could only give up in disappointment.

When Cheng Hui looked over, Lin Qingyang retracted his cold gaze and said gently, "If Ah Hui likes it, keep it. But I heard that this kind of sea fish may not survive if placed in a fish tank."

"That's right, forget it." Cheng Hui asked casually, but gave up when he heard that he might not be able to support the child.

The little fish's tense body relaxed. It didn't know where the danger came from or why it disappeared. Its little head couldn't think about such a complicated problem.

Anyway, it is satisfied knowing that it is safe now.

After working with Xiaoyu again, Cheng Hui's harvest has reached an astonishing nine. Together with the first one, he has collected enough ten moonlight fish for the two of them.

He squatted at the bow and said to the red-dotted fish, "Little rascal, I'm leaving now. From now on, you'll have to cheat others for food and drink." After saying this, he felt something was wrong and quickly explained, "No, others may not be like me. You'd better be careful. If possible, try to stay away from the monks."

The little fish wagged its tail and looked at him blankly, as if it didn't understand what he meant.

Cheng Hui took out another magical herb, tore it into pieces, and handed each piece to Xiaoyu.

The little fish swallowed it obediently. Cheng Hui took the opportunity to touch the little fish's head. The little fish paused but did not dodge.

Cheng Hui nodded his head and sighed, "What a pity. It's not convenient for me to raise a fish like you who has lived in the sea for years. Otherwise, I could take you away with me."

The little fish raised its head and looked at him intently, then suddenly jumped into the air, forming a round ball of water around its body.

The little red fish swam in the water ball, circling around Cheng Hui.

Cheng Hui was stunned by Xiaoyu's sudden change.

No... I haven't heard that Moonfish has this function???

He reached out and touched it. The water ball felt cool, and he could feel the wetness inside when he put his fingers in.

He looked at Xiaoyu, who was shaking her head, and asked in surprise, "You mean... you want to go with me?"

Xiaoyu nodded.

Before Cheng Hui could say anything, Lin Qingyang smiled and refused, "No, walking down the street with a moonlight fish will attract too much attention."

Cheng Hui agreed. Besides, the little fish would have to live in this small water ball with him forever, which would definitely be very uncomfortable for a fish.

Behind Cheng Hui, Lin Qingyang stared at the little fish expressionlessly, thinking: What smart fish? It looks pretty stupid to me, I'd better stew it as soon as possible!

The little fish didn't understand what was going on. It didn't understand Cheng Hui's complicated thoughts. It just wanted to get some free food and drink.

However, it understood what Lin Qingyang said about the moonlight fish. With a slight flick of its tail, the moonlight fish's figure gradually became blurred, and finally became... a white jellyfish.

The jellyfish looks soft and sticky, like jelly, and its slender tentacles below are crystal clear and as dazzling as white crystal.

Cheng Hui was stunned when he saw it. Is this... a magical trick?

Lin Qingyang, however, looked at the jellyfish and revealed an understanding expression: "It is indeed the Vientiane jellyfish."

"What the hell?" Cheng Hui was confused.

Lin Qingyang gave him some basic scientific knowledge. It was probably a kind of jellyfish that could transform into various forms. It was very weak, so if it wanted to survive, it could only change its form and become other creatures, and try to integrate into the other group and live together.

When this tribe can no longer satisfy them, they will transform into more powerful creatures, join the other tribe, and continue their previous life.

It can be said that this is a very salty creature.

The Vientiane jellyfish is very beautiful, with a milky white glow that is very lustrous. Compared to the silvery shiny skin of the moonfish, the Vientiane jellyfish is more like a warm nephrite.

Cheng Hui looked at the Vientiane jellyfish and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. It was icy and soft, and the feel was excellent.

He couldn't help but look back at Lin Qingyang. In his opinion, things like raising pets should naturally be discussed with one's partner.

Lin Qingyang had no resistance to Cheng Hui's puppy dog ​​eyes. He simply couldn't bear to see the disappointed expression on that face.

"If Ah Hui likes it, we'll keep it."

"Yeah!" Cheng Hui excitedly hugged Lin Qingyang and kissed him. "Thank you, Qingyang."

Lin Qingyang smiled, and when he looked at the Vientiane jellyfish again, he suddenly felt that it was not so annoying.

emmmm, actually if you think about it carefully, a creature like the Vientiane jellyfish can completely change into another appearance.

Ah Hui’s favorite is furry, but as long as there is the Vientiane jellyfish, what kind of furry can’t be transformed?

To accommodate a Vientiane jellyfish, and avoid the many furry creatures that may appear in the future——

Lin Qingyang felt that this deal was not too bad!
