Chapter 210 Wei Ziwei Falls into the Water

As time passed, Princess Yunxi caught her first fish, a grass carp weighing about 2 pounds. Next came the Sea King, who caught a carp weighing over 5 pounds with yellow scales. It was said that wild fish were this color, and Wei Ziwei flattered him for a long time.

Then Wei Ziwei caught her first fish, a carp weighing over 3 jin (1.5 catties). A while later, even Bai Zilin caught a fish, a grass carp weighing over 2 jin (1 catties). But Liu Ye's fishing rod didn't make a single move.

What's going on? Why aren't the fish coming? Is there something wrong with the location? She moved to a different spot, putting some distance between herself and Bai Zilin. It must be because they were sitting too close together that the fish were all going to their side.

Bai Zilin smiled and shook his head: "It's because you cast your fishing rod too close. It has nothing to do with the location. Try casting it further away."

Liu Ye listened to the advice and cast her fishing rod far away, but she sat there for a long time without catching a fish. Hai Wang and the others had already caught several fish each. This was too infuriating. Why were the fish in Fairy Lake bullying newcomers? The fish could tell that she was a time-traveling woman. No, she had to use a cheat device. She couldn't lose this fishing competition. Brother Bai could only lose to her.

She reached into her sleeve, took out a handful of flour from her spatial storage, kneaded it with spiritual spring water to form dough, rolled it into small balls, and hung them on the fishing hook. "This should work now," she thought. She cast the fishing rod into the lake, staring at the goose feather float, counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in her mind. Before she could even finish counting to six, the goose feather float was pulled into the water.

"Oh my, it's up!" Liu Ye gripped the fishing rod and swung it hard onto the shore. A huge carp was thrown onto the bank, weighing more than ten pounds by the looks of it. Even its scales were red. She was so happy that she clapped her hands and cheered like a child: "Wow, I finally caught a fish! Brother Bai, I caught a big fish! Hahaha!"

Haiwang gave Liu Ye a thumbs up: "Wow, it seems there really are big fish in Fairy Lake."

Wei Ziwei pouted with envy in her eyes and muttered under her breath, "What's so smug about that? I'll be able to catch one in a bit!"

Princess Yunxi rolled her eyes, her gaze fixed on her fishing float. Bai Zilin put down his fishing rod and helped Liu Ye remove the carp from the hook and put it in the bucket. Because the fish was so big, half of its body was outside, so he had to stick the carp's head into the bucket: "This fish must weigh 15 jin. The bigger the fish, the tastier it is. It seems I have to work harder."

Liu Ye rehooked the fishhook onto the ball and cast it into the lake. She caught another fish. She cast the fishing rod hard onto the shore and caught another big carp weighing over ten kilograms, even bigger than the last one. Bai Zilin quickly put down his fishing rod to help. He removed the carp from the hook and placed it on the bank. The bucket was already full. "This fish must weigh 30 kilograms. Your good luck has come again, Princess."

Liu Ye proudly raised her little face and said, "This princess has good luck every day. It's only 30-odd catties. I can catch even bigger fish. Today, I am the number one fisherman."

"Hey, I've caught a fish too!" Bai Zilin quickly picked up the fishing rod from the ground, threw it hard onto the bank, and caught a big grass carp weighing five or six pounds.

After baiting her hook, Liu Ye continued fishing. As soon as she cast her line into the water, the fish would immediately take the bait, and the fish she caught kept getting bigger and bigger. When she caught her sixth fish, she stopped fishing because she had already won. The last fish weighed about fifty or sixty pounds, and no one else's fish was as big as hers: "Haha, I won, you all lost to me."

Wei Ziwei kicked her fishing rod into the lake and said unhappily, "It's all my fault for not choosing a good spot, otherwise I could have caught a big fish!"

The Sea King put away his fishing rod and stood up from the ground: "Fishing also depends on luck. It seems that my luck is not good today. We have caught so many fish today, but we can't eat them all. Why don't we release them? Let's just keep the one that the princess caught."

No one objected. Bai Zilin and Haiwang threw all the fish into the lake, leaving only a carp weighing over ten kilograms.

It was noon by then. Bai Zilin and his group returned to the inn with the fish and handed it over to the innkeeper. The innkeeper then instructed the kitchen to prepare a whole fish feast. Of course, there were also crabs, shrimp, and other stir-fried dishes on the table.

At the dinner table, Wei Ziwei diligently served food to Haiwang, her face full of flattery and ingratiation. Every now and then, she would toss a bunch of autumn spinach to him, saying, "Haiwang, try this sweet shrimp. It tastes very delicious."

The Sea King nodded perfunctorily without saying anything, thinking to himself, "Just eat yours." Princess Yunxi picked up a piece of fish and put it in Bai Zilin's bowl, her face turning red with embarrassment. Bai Zilin didn't eat the fish she picked up, but instead picked up another piece of fish for himself and ate it.

Princess Yunxi lowered her eyes in disappointment upon seeing this. It seemed that General Bai did not like her. That made sense, considering that they had only met twice in total. General Bai did not understand her and did not know her good qualities. After they had a few more interactions, General Bai would naturally develop feelings for her. It seemed that she was too hasty. As the old saying goes, haste makes waste. She needed to be patient with General Bai.

Liu Ye's eyes darted around, looking at this and that, like a bystander watching a spectacle, but her mouth was never idle. Sure enough, the big fish was delicious, so fresh. The shrimp was delicious, and the crab was delicious too. The big crabs were full of roe, some as big as egg yolks. She must come again with Brother Bai in the future, no, she must come often.

They finished their meal quickly. Apart from Wei Ziwei, none of the others had been to Fairy Lake before, so she became their tour guide, walking at the front of the group. As she walked, she introduced the surrounding scenery: "Look, that's Fairy Lake Waterfall ahead, the most beautiful sight on the entire island. It's said that fairies bathed under the waterfall."

"Rumor has it that washing your face with the water from a waterfall will make girls more beautiful and men more handsome. I've washed my face as many times as I've been here, haha, I haven't noticed it myself, but my mother has praised me for becoming prettier. What does the Sea King think?"

Aquaman nodded with a stiff smile: "It should work..." (#Д) If it works, why are you so ugly? How ugly must you have been before?! (ω) Hey

Wei Ziwei blushed shyly, flung her handkerchief aside, and stamped her foot: "That sea king, really! I was just asking casually, and you...you said such a blunt truth! I'm so embarrassed..."

Haiwang, Bai Zilin, Princess Yunxi, and Liu Ye quickly walked past Wei Ziwei and arrived in front of the waterfall. Actually, the waterfall wasn't very big; it flowed down from a cliff more than 20 meters high, and the water flow wasn't very strong.

Wei Ziwei, feeling a little embarrassed, quickly followed. Princess Yunxi squatted down to wash her face. Liu Ye watched her wash and also washed her face a couple of times. The water was so cold, icy cold. It must be spring water from underground, otherwise it couldn't be so cold.

Haiwang and Bai Zilin didn't wash their faces. They had their own reasons for not washing. Whoever washed their face was considered to be ugly. Bai Zilin thought he was very good-looking and didn't need to wash, and Haiwang thought so too.

Wei Ziwei watched as the Sea King's eyes darted around. She deliberately walked towards the edge of the pool, but suddenly her foot slipped, and she fell into the water: "Ah, help! Sea King, please save me!"

Wei Ziwei's antics left everyone on the shore dumbfounded. The river water was only up to their calves, and Wei Ziwei was struggling in the water like a turtle, which looked absolutely hilarious.
