"Then what are we waiting for? Just grab him for me."
She was furious and even came to the surface to say, "Isn't this the kind of situation where you just grab it with your bare hands?"
Lotus is becoming more and more immature; it seems we need to train her more.
Ma Hehua's eyes were practically popping out of her head as she frantically harvested the fish underwater, thoughtfully tidying up her knife so that it wouldn't fetch a good price if it got damaged.
"Squeak squeak squeak..."
The sounds from underwater echoed across the river, sending chills down the spines of those on the boat, especially the painted-skin ghost.
I wonder how Ma Hehua treated those brothers in the water; their voices sounded rather pitiful!
"Oh! This is a male water monkey, put it in the right bag." As she spoke, she touched the man's genitals to check if he had testicles, afraid she might have made a mistake.
The water monkey had thick fur, and when Ma Hehua touched and pinched it, it immediately let out a series of shameful and angry cries.
Once confirmed, pack it directly into bags.
The female water monkey was simple; she just pinched her breasts, made sure she was in the left bag, and thought she was a genius.
Water monkeys: "……………………"
Can't you even be a human being?
As Ma Hehua was being captured, the boat stopped moving and drifted along the river. By the time Ma Hehua reached the shore, it was already broad daylight.
It was the morning of the third day. The sun was rising a little early, and the air was still a bit chilly in March.
"How many were arrested?" Ma Linghua yawned; she had just woken up.
"There are about twenty more in each bag. The females are more expensive, and the males are cheaper." She looked happy when talking about the female water monkeys, but looked disgusted when talking about the male water monkeys.
"Hmm! Not bad, even a small mosquito is still meat."
"Hey girl, how long will it take us to get to the dock?"
Zhuang Baiyi suddenly appeared and asked with great concern.
"What's the rush? It'll be over soon."
Ma Hehua replied impatiently.
Ma Lihua looked at the weeping willows by the river and glanced at the water in the river. It was very deep, unfathomable, like a deep pool.
All that could be seen was the light reflecting off Zhuang Baiyi, who was standing by the boat, creating a reflection in the river that didn't look like a person at all.
Ma Lihua narrowed her eyes, looked up at Zhuang Baiyi, who looked like a human, and looked down at his reflection, who did not.
She looks somewhat like a cat... and her body also resembles a toad. Whatever she resembles, this beast is incredibly well disguised; even her grandmother and mother were fooled.
"Pear Blossom, what are you looking at?"
Ma Hehua changed her clothes, looked at the river, and then suddenly looked up at Zhuang Baiyi.
"Oh my god! Mom, that bastard is a son of a bitch."
Ma Lihua: "…………………………"
Why could her mother just say it directly?
Ma Lihua was dumbfounded.
Ma Linghua stiffened, looked up at Zhuang Baiyi, and her eyes were serious.
"Yes! I've known for a long time that he's not human, why are you making such a fuss?"
Oh my god! Couldn't this unlucky daughter have said it in private?
Who would have thought that Zhuang Baiyi wasn't human? Luckily, she reacted quickly, or she would have been humiliated. What a joke, what can't a high-level ghost hunter like her see through?
"Are you really not human?"
He quietly asked Zhuang Baiyi, who was standing next to him.
Zhuang Baiyi: "……………………"
Didn't you fucking say you figured it out a long time ago? Why are you still asking?
"Hehe! Little sister, how am I not a person? You can't just say things without evidence. If it weren't for you guys, I would have been eaten by ghosts long ago."
"Yeah?"
Ma Linghua stared into his eyes and asked coldly.
"Yes...right?"
"You little bastard, look into the river! Sure enough, men are all smooth-talking scoundrels, daring to bewitch my mother."
Ma Hehua thought that her mother must have been bewitched to not make a move. This man wasn't even that good-looking, yet he wanted to bewitch her mother. He was really dreaming.
Zhuang Baiyi: "???"
Ma Linghua was in a panic, but thankfully, Hehua didn't realize that she hadn't even noticed the monster.
After being reminded, she looked into the river and then shouted, "You toad demon, tell me quickly, what magic weapon did you use to deceive us?"
“I know you are people with spiritual power. I have no intention of harming anyone. I just want to go ashore. I only borrowed this skin because I had no other choice.”
Zhuang Baiyi is no longer pretending; he's open about it.
The painted-skin ghost hid well and watched this reckless man. He could just listen to what the ghost was saying; as for the three women, they probably wouldn't believe him.
It must be said that the Painted Skin Demon is quite clever.
"Alright then! We're not the kind of people who break their promises. Once we get to the shore, we'll be even." Ma Linghua said calmly, her eyes filled with ruthlessness.
They didn't even bother to find out that the Ma family isn't a good family.
"Father. I'm scared. I'm hungry. I'm hungry. I'm hungry."
Zhuang Wushu clung to Zhuang Baiyi's leg, and from the shadows, stared at Ma Lihua with greedy and vicious eyes.
Ma Lihua met his eyes directly, her gaze calm, taking in Zhuang Wuxu's expression.
The atmosphere on the boat suddenly became very tense until the riverbank came into view.
But when the boat was still five meters from the riverbank, it wouldn't move at all.
"What? Can't hold back anymore?"
Ma Hehua's sarcastic voice rang out, and without saying a word, she slashed at Mei Youqian with her knife.
Mei Youqian reacted quickly, but she was still injured; one of her hands was severed.
"You... why did you cut me?"
Damn it, Zhuang Baiyi was the closest to her, so if you're going to launch a sneak attack, you should attack Zhuang Baiyi! So why did you cut her down?
