Pat, pat.
This is the sound of the fish's tail slapping the water after Lu Wu dragged the fish to the edge of the diving area.
A beautiful white fish, about the length of a forearm, was swimming ahead. This fish has a lovely name: butterfly carp.
The butterfly carp has a long, flowing tail, and its fins spread out in the water like a woman's elaborate skirt. Humans usually appreciate beautiful things, but at this moment, Lu Wu felt helpless.
If she remembered correctly, butterfly koi are freshwater fish, so how could they be caught from the sea?
This fish is similar in nature to the sycamore tree from yesterday.
Could it be that all the disciples of Rainbow Gate like this kind of style?
Lu Wu looked at the fish, which showed no sign of being caught.
The hook has now been reeled in, and the fish can return to the sea at any time if the other party wishes.
But it didn't.
In Lu Wu's view, the butterfly carp kept circling in the shallow waters of the beach, its eyes occasionally glancing at him as if assessing something, looking almost like it had become a spirit.
Having learned from her previous experience, Lu Wu was able to accept the unconventional nature of the "fish" caught by this fishing rod.
"Hey, stop pretending, I've already figured it out."
Lu Wu spoke up.
Butterfly carp: blowing bubbles.
It's just an ordinary fish; it can't understand what you're saying.
Lu Wu deduced this meaning from the other party's behavior.
Staring at the fish that stubbornly refused to admit it, Lu Wu called over Mimi and said, "I'll make you braised carp later."
As she spoke, she pulled out a fish-killing knife, ready to gut the fish.
As Lu Wu approached, the butterfly carp seemed startled and tried to leave with a flick of its tail, but Mimi was faster.
With a single swipe of its claw, it successfully caught the butterfly carp.
Sharp claws ripped open the scales.
"Meow."
Cats like to eat raw fish.
A few drops of saliva dripped from Mimi's mouth onto the butterfly koi's body, and its claws tightened even more.
Mimi opened her mouth, her cat eyes narrowed, and her sharp teeth lunged at the butterfly koi. The buffet began.
The butterfly koi, which had been fluttering in Mimi's palm, stiffened visibly, and then a voice pleading for mercy rang out.
"I was wrong."
As soon as she finished speaking, the butterfly carp struggled to jump out of Mimi's palm and landed, transforming into a woman in black.
However, the woman's face looked very pale at that moment.
She looked at Lu Wu with an incomprehensible expression.
How did you find me?
Dong Baimei is now caught in self-doubt.
As a skilled infiltrator within the sect, she couldn't understand how her disguise had been seen through at a glance.
"Because you are a freshwater fish."
Lu Wu spoke the truth.
"..."
Dong Baimei opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a single word.
She just thought the fish looked nice, and subconsciously copied it when she transformed, little did she know that this skin was a regional limited edition.
"Now that you've discovered me, I admit it."
"Whether you kill me or torture me is up to you, but it's impossible for you to pry any information out of me. Give up."
Carelessness led to the loss of Jingzhou.
Faced with the fact that one claw could subdue her, Dong Baimei stopped resisting.
Rather than being torn into ugly pieces, she wanted to die with her beautiful face intact; this was her final bottom line.
"ah?"
But Lu Wu didn't understand what the other person was saying at all.
What do you mean by "accepting fate" and "intelligence"? Are these the kinds of things a respectable diner should say?
Even though she couldn't understand it, that didn't stop Lu Wu from promoting her food.
"Honey, want some?"
Lu Wu pointed to a stall not far away and looked expectantly at Dong Baimei.
"?"
Dong Baimei frowned, not understanding what the person in front of her meant.
The other party was very discreet and could see through her at a glance. Now that they had captured her, they didn't interrogate her or take any action, but instead made her eat something.
Could this be a new method of execution from Rainbow Gate?
With a question in mind, Dong Baimei shrugged.
"Anything is fine."
Since she was going to die anyway, she stopped struggling.
Lu Wu was happy to receive one more guest.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
We're open for business!
As the first customer of the day, Lu Wu decided to give the guest a special honor: extra sugar in one serving.
Seeing the other party's all-black attire, Lu Wu pulled out the newly released "darkened" version of himself.
When black sugar is heated, the sugar strands that float out are black enough to blend into the night. Although the color is somewhat strange and makes people wonder if it is edible, the aroma is not diminished.
The sweet aroma is irresistible.
Having already prepared herself to die, Dong Baimei watched Lu Wu's practiced movements, her eyes filled with even deeper doubt. Could it be that the other party intended to poison her?
But these days, even killing someone requires such a sense of ritual?
Honestly, if the toxins were hidden in this sweet fragrance, she really wouldn't want to refuse it.
In order to be reincarnated sooner, Dongbaimei stretched her neck and sniffed the sweet fragrance in the air.
In an instant, Dong Baimei's head popped up above the machine.
I'm inhaling!
The fragrance had been lingering in her lungs for a while, but she didn't feel any pain in her body. Instead, she felt completely immersed in the sweet aroma.
Hunger was awakened.
Clutching her stomach, Dong Baimei cast a thoughtful glance at Lu Wu.
Could it be that this person is trying to tempt her with this fragrance? What a vicious method!
But she had to admit, she was really hungry.
"Are you done yet?"
Dong Baimei urged impatiently, "It's just killing someone, can't you just make a clean cut? Why resort to such methods to corrupt her beliefs?"
Let's get started.
"Alright, alright."
Seeing that the customer was getting impatient, Lu Wu finished the final touches and handed the pure black one to Dong Baimei.
Please savor it slowly.
Don't be fooled by its dark appearance, the taste is guaranteed to be amazing. Lu Wu smiled and said, "Thank you for your patronage, ten spirit stones."
"ha?"
Dong Baimei was almost laughing in anger.
You want to poison me with food and then expect me to pay you? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
There's no way I'll give them money.
Dong Baimei sneered inwardly, then turned her head and met the gaze of Mimi, who was stretching lazily to the side.
The eyes of a beast were no longer as harmless as when she was with Lu Wu; the ferocity within them was enough for Dong Baimei to recognize the two kings.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Dong Baimei took out the spirit stones with trembling hands. Anyway, these things would fall into the other party's hands after she died, so it didn't matter whether she gave them to them sooner or later.
I tried to comfort myself, but I just couldn't shake off that feeling of frustration.
Why should a person who is about to die have to suffer like this?
The more Dong Baimei thought about it, the angrier she became. She didn't dare to vent her anger on Lu Wu, so she could only take a big bite out of it.
Rather than continue to be humiliated, I'd rather die.
I ate, I ate as much as I could.
As the first person to try the new product, Dong Baimei ate it in a very aggressive manner. Her tearing motions and fierce eyes suggested that she was being retaliated against by someone.
Poisonous woman, I'll bite you to death!
