"The Ice God Palace has declared for generations that anyone who touches the ice sculpture is tantamount to declaring war on the Ice God Palace. This shows how important the ice sculpture is to the Ice God! And every time the Ice Palace holds a grand competition, there are people who want to impersonate the original ice sculpture."
"This is undoubtedly courting death!"
"I advise you, no matter how much you want to stand out in the Ice Palace Competition and join the Ice God Palace, don't even think about this ice sculpture!"
The fathead fish's cold snort fell heavily.
"oh?"
"So, you're saying you saved us?"
Hearing this, Ning Tian felt a pang of emotion, then looked at the fathead fish and said calmly.
"That's natural!"
The fathead fish snorted coldly and said in a cold voice, "If the guards of the Ice God Palace find out that you dared to mess with this ice sculpture, ten lives wouldn't be enough for you to die!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this...
Ning Tian inexplicably wanted to laugh.
Is this the legendary case of me faking an accident to extort money from myself?
"So, what kind of reward do you want?"
Ning Tian narrowed his eyes. Since this fathead fish said that, it must have its own purpose.
"Well, I think..."
Upon hearing Ning Tian's words, the fathead fish revealed his intentions. A sly glint flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at the two women—or rather, the Flame Lion King behind them, drinking juice made from iced loquat.
"Master Fish wants it!"
"Um?"
Why did you draw your sword?
Fathead Fish pointed at Flame Lion King, its face flushed with embarrassment.
"call…"
Hearing this, Ning Tian silently sheathed the Crimson Sky Sword he had drawn. He had thought that this fathead fish dared to make a move on the two women, so he was prepared to chop him up. He never expected that this guy's target was the Flame-Sealing Lion King.
That's alright then.
"This guy isn't for sale."
Ning Tian said calmly.
No, no, no.
"Master Fish doesn't want to buy it. Master Fish is studying the true meaning of life. When humans and sea monsters mate, there is a high probability that they will give birth to a race with fish tails and human bodies, or fish heads and human bodies."
"But what if it's a fish and a lion?"
"Could that lead to a completely new species?"
"Master Fish's ambition is to start a new life. Master Fish is determined to become a fish scholar!"
The fathead fish clenched its chubby fists, its eyes filled with seriousness!
Ning Tian: "..."
Luo Wuqing and Su Yueyao: "..."
Goodness.
This is still a fathead fish with dreams!
"I'm truly moved. Why don't you just give in to it, Sha Tian?"
Ning Tian patted Sha Tian on the shoulder and spoke very seriously to the little lion.
"roar?"
The Flame Lion King's Ice Flame fell to the ground.
"Roar!"
Lion is a lion!
A lion!!
It's emphasizing a sentence.
"Oh, I almost forgot, it's a male lion." Ning Tian shrugged and said regretfully, "Your great life journey may end here."
"It's alright, the male lion fish doesn't mind either. The fish can be bisexual."
The fathead fish looked completely unconcerned.
"……roar?"
The Flame Lion King was dumbfounded, and then he launched into a tirade of curses that pierced the air: "Are you out of your mind, you fat fish? I want a female lion, not a male-female sea creature like you!"
Lion Lord, I'll give you a piece of my mind, you stinky star.
响%¥#@~!
However.
In fact.
From everyone's perspective, this is how it was criticized.
A little lion kept barking at the fathead fish, looking incredibly cute.
"What is your opinion, fellow Daoist?"
The fathead fish looked at Ning Tian seriously, gripped his hand tightly, and said with an extremely earnest expression: "For the sake of fish studies, for the sake of restoring the glory of the fish race, we have an unshirkable duty!"
Ning Tian: "..."
It's not that I'm afraid of fish talking nonsense, it's that I'm afraid of fish with culture.
"How about you, Sha Tian, make a sacrifice?"
Ning Tian raised an eyebrow.
"Roar!"
Lion's language: 【No!】
"Look, this lion has its own thoughts too. If you don't give me some benefits, it'll be difficult for me to do anything for you." Ning Tian pulled his hand away, then put on an embarrassed expression.
Seeing this expression, the two women knew that their husbands were about to start tricking... oh no, tricking the fish.
"So, fellow Daoist, what do you intend to do?"
The fathead fish gritted its teeth, its longing gaze fixed on the Flame-Sealing Lion King, making the Lion King tremble.
I was just watching the show, why are you making things so difficult for me? Life has finally come after me, this little kitten. Damn it, I shouldn't have come along.
At this moment…
The Flame Lion King suddenly realized that even if he had to eat Ninth Senior Sister's pills, it would be better than being disgusted by this fathead fish!
"Then tell me about the current news of the Ice God Palace. By the way, tell me what this Ice Palace Grand Competition you just mentioned is all about."
Ning Tian looked at the fathead fish with a smile and said slowly.
Seeing that the fathead fish seemed to know a lot, it was a good opportunity to sacrifice the Flame Lion King's charm and trick it into revealing some information.
Although there are merchants selling information in Ice God City, a single piece of information can cost several million spirit coins. But now, by simply sacrificing the Flame Lion King, we can save millions or even tens of millions of spirit coins, which is definitely a huge profit.
And so, a world in which only Sha Tian was injured was created.
"Oh, Master Yu knows about this."
"Then let's talk as we walk. And could you stay a little further away from me? You smell too strongly of seafood, and my Crimson Sky Sword is starting to lose control."
"ha?"
…
that's all.
While talking to the fathead fish, Ning Tian tried to extract all the information he knew, while the two women followed behind. Along the way, the Flame Lion King tried to escape several times, but Su Yueyao caught it back by threatening it with braised lion's head meatballs.
This left the Flame Lion King speechless with frustration. It was outrageous that everyone was bullying the little lions.
"I see."
"No wonder Ice God City is so lively. It turns out that those who pass the Ice Palace Grand Competition are qualified to join the inner palace of Ice God Palace."
After getting all the information out of the fathead fish, Ning Tian suddenly realized what was going on.
"hey-hey."
"That's not all! Those who perform well might even be accepted as disciples by the Ice God!"
A look of longing appeared in the fathead fish's eyes.
"To take him as a disciple?"
Ning Tian raised an eyebrow.
"Exactly!"
"It's a pity that so many years have passed, and countless outstanding young talents have emerged from the Ice Palace Competition, but none of them have been able to become the Ice God's disciple. But there's nothing we can do about it, after all, the Ice God's standards must be extremely high."
The fathead fish shook its head slightly and sighed.
"I didn't realize you knew so much about the Ice Palace Tournament."
Ning Tian glanced at the fathead fish.
"snort!"
"Of course! After all, Master Fish has participated in the Ice Palace Competition more than thirty times! He already knows the Ice Palace Competition like the back of his hand!" Fathead Fish snorted, his words full of pride.
