Chapter 44 Cang Li pushed Pearl away with difficulty…
Cang Li pushed Pearl away with difficulty and said in a harsh voice:
"Let's go! I don't like to bully the weak!" Although she had no idea about her own cultivation level, Cang Li could tell that this little giant clam spirit was indeed very weak. She felt that she could crush this little giant clam spirit with one punch.
Fuqu's eyes widened. This immortal really didn't want her pearl and let her go! Fuqu concluded—the immortal was a good person!
Now Fuqu didn't want to leave even more; she wanted to stay and play with the immortal.
"Immortal Master, Immortal Master, do you really not want the pearl? What are you doing here? I'll help you!"
Cang Li: ? ? ?
Is this little giant clam spirit out of the ordinary? It was terrified just a moment ago, and now it's all friendly?
Fuqu put the pearl back around her neck and smiled, "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, please let me go, and I'll help you with some work."
Cang Li frowned: "Get this straight, if I hadn't pulled you out, you wouldn't have been in any danger. It's only right that I let you go. You didn't provoke me, so why did you help me with my work?"
Fuqu paused for a moment, then stood there with her head down, looking aggrieved, and said:
"But that's how clownfish are. They grab me and demand pearls, they'll only let me go if they have to do work for them..."
Cang Li: ...Still a bullied little giant clam spirit
Cang Li sighed softly, "You should resist, cultivate to be stronger than them, and then fight back!"
Fuqu scratched her face and said with a fawning smile, "But, but I couldn't beat them! They all surrounded me. Later, Mo helped me. He protected me, and the clownfish and sea snake didn't dare to bully me anymore!"
Cang Li was completely helpless against this naive and innocent girl, so he could only leave with a sentence:
"Go play by yourself, I still need to go fishing."
Fuqu ran over and chattered excitedly, "Immortal Master, Immortal Master, my name is Fuqu, I'll help you catch fish in the sea!"
Without waiting for Cang Li's reply, he jumped into the sea. Cang Li didn't bother to look, slowly paddling the raft towards the surface and dropping off the fishing net...
Suddenly, the sea began to churn, and a large group of fish were driven over, scrambling to get into the fishing net, almost capsizing Cang Li's small bamboo raft.
Cang Li: !!!
Cang Li hurriedly rowed the bamboo raft towards the shore, and the little clam spirit really went to chase the fish!
When they reached the shore, a large number of sea fish were attached to the back of the bamboo raft. There were all kinds of fish, including mackerel, cod, and stonefish. No wonder she almost capsized the top of her boat.
Fuqu emerged from the sea: "Immortal Master! Do you want more?"
Cang Li hurriedly said, "That's enough, that's enough for today!"
Fuqu immediately said, "Then I'll herd the fish for you again tomorrow. Wait for me on the shore!"
Cang Li: "...Alright, come over tomorrow and I'll cook you some fish. Be careful on your way back."
Fuqu waved happily and dived into the sea. "The immortal is so kind!"
Cang Li squatted on the shore, sorting the large pile of fish and throwing them into the collector to change collection points. He put the edible ones into his backpack and threw the ugly ones back into the sea. In the end, he harvested a lot of sea fish and brought them back to the cave so that Jie and the others could have a taste.
The next day, Fuqu indeed came again, and once again caught a lot of fish for Cangli. Her eyes lit up after eating the seafood Cangli cooked for her.
"Immortal Master! You're amazing! You can cook them with fire!"
Cang Li sprinkled some of the chili sauce he had brought into the abalone, pointed to the seafood still cooking in the bamboo tube, and said, "Eat more if you like. Thank you for bringing me so much fish."
Fuqu secretly dug up some of Cangli's chili peppers and ate them. She immediately jumped up, her face burning red. She ran around on the shore, screaming from the spiciness.
Cang Li laughed heartily. Ji Hejie, Er, Zhong, even Yu can eat spicy food, but this little lotus spirit can't eat spicy food and even cried from the spiciness. Cang Li found this very amusing.
Fuqu was still running with her mouth open and tears streaming down her face when suddenly a huge wave rose from the sea, and dark clouds covered the sky and earth in an instant. Cangli immediately got up, scraped the salt out of the pot, and then quickly formed hand seals to try to cover the salt water in the salt pond that had been dried out with great difficulty.
She didn't expect the typhoon to come so suddenly by the sea; it was too fast.
Cang Li formed a hand seal with his back to the sea, then rolled away to dodge the attack from behind. He drew his Primordial Holy Sword and turned around warily:
"Who goes there!?"
A huge, ferocious black dragon floated on the waves behind them, its eyes fierce.
Cang Li's eyes widened. There really was a dragon!
The dragon glanced at the still-running Fuqu, its anger rising, and charged towards Cangli. The dragons were fierce and always fought head-on.
Cang Li turned and ran. What a joke! She had only learned spells that made farming easier. Tai Qing tried to teach her spells for attack and defense, but she didn't listen to a word he said!
The black dragon charged forward, and Cang Li turned around and swung her sword. The Hongmeng Holy Sword was indeed powerful, as expected of the one used by Hong Yun. However, the black dragon dodged it. Cang Li continued to run, trying to think of a solution as she ran. She couldn't use the earth-turning spell, and the fish-killing spell. Should she remove the dragon's scales?
Cang Li's mind raced. She saw the boots on her feet and suddenly remembered the Dragon Binding Lock that had been refreshed along with the boots... It was waiting for her here! She had thought there was a dragon in the river, but it turned out to be a dragon in the sea. Cang Li immediately changed to the Dragon Binding Lock, not caring whether it was expensive or not. After changing it, she threw the rope-like Dragon Binding Lock behind her.
He heard a huge sound of something crashing to the ground behind him. Cang Li breathed a sigh of relief, stopped, and looked back. There was a dragon lying on the beach. It was half the size of the one he had seen before, but it was still very big. If it stood upright, it would be as tall as a thirty-story building. It was all black, with a snake's body and deer antlers, a typical image of a dragon from mythology. It also had five claws on its belly.
Cang Li didn't approach; he just stood there, looking at the black dragon and questioning him:
"I didn't do anything to you, why did you start hitting me right away?"
The dragon's cultivation level was similar to hers; no wonder she felt danger for a moment just now.
The black dragon struggled, but the more it struggled, the tighter the dragon-binding chains became. It couldn't help but open its mouth and ask:
"You demonic cultivator from who-knows-where! How dare you torment my Eastern Sea aquatic creatures! You forced her to hunt food for you, and you even used evil magic to torture her, taking pleasure in watching her cry in pain! Let me go! I want to fight you!"
Cang Li: ? ? ?
Cang Li was bewildered. What was tormenting the aquatic creatures? Her? No, who had she tormented! This was no way to wrongly accuse someone.
Is framing people a tradition in the East China Sea?
Cang Li got angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?! Who tortured your aquatic creatures? I only caught fish that haven't developed intelligence!"
Black Dragon sneered, about to speak, when Fuqu ran over with teary eyes:
"Mo! Why did you hit the Immortal Master? Look what happened, you couldn't beat him and you got captured. You should beg the Immortal Master to release you, otherwise who will protect me in the future? The clownfish and sea serpent are going to bully me again."
Black Dragon Ink: ? ? ?
Mo stared at Fuqu with wide eyes and shouted, "She bullied you! You were bullied until you cried, and you were forced to run around crying!"
Fuqu stopped abruptly, tears welling in her eyes, and looked at Mo blankly: "Huh?"
Immortal Master, you didn't bully her, did you?
Fuqu: "Mo! You've misunderstood! I secretly ate the immortal's food just now, and my mouth hurts so much that I cried. The immortal didn't bully me; he even cooked me delicious lobster! You should apologize to the immortal right now!"
Ink: ? ? ?
Why should he apologize when he's tied up?
Mo was indignant, turned his head away, white smoke billowing from his nostrils: "I won't apologize!"
Fuqu was afraid that Cangli would kill Mo. She had spent a lot of time with Cangli these past few days, and Cangli could cook anything and eat it. Fuqu knew that long ago, the great immortals in the prehistoric world had a hobby of eating dragons. She was afraid that Mo would be skinned, dismembered, and cooked by Cangli.
"Immortal, Immortal Master, Mo didn't do it on purpose. I'll give you a pearl, please don't eat Mo, okay?"
Fuqu, her eyes red, begged Cangli.
Cang Li: "...Thanks, but I don't eat everything."
Who in their right mind could eat such a huge dragon? Could they even finish it? That's outrageous!
Fuqu blinked and immediately smiled, stuffing the handful of pearls in her hand into Cang Li's small basket. She had noticed these past few days that Cang Li really liked her pearls!
Cang Li glanced at the small basket, each containing pearls the size of a finger joint, and she really liked them. Besides white ones, there were also pink, purple, and black ones, and the clam shells were quite good.
"Tell him to stop bothering me. I'll be going home in a while."
Cang Li accepted the pearl and didn't make things difficult for Fu Qu and Mo. He also took back the Dragon Binding Lock. The lock was quite useful; he wondered if he could bind Tai Qing as well when they got back.
After being released, Mo transformed into human form, a dashing young man dressed in black, looking at Cang Li with a defiant expression, as if he wanted to fight again.
Cang Li shook the Dragon-Binding Lock and said to Fu Qu:
"Little Clam Spirit, you better control your man, or I'll capture him and bring him back to my tribe for a feast!"
Fuqu was terrified, but still managed to explain, "Immortal Master, Mo isn't my man!"
Then, pulling Mo's arm, she earnestly said, "The Immortal Master is so amazing, Mo. Don't fight with her. She really didn't bully me. She even gave me food."
Mo poked Fuqu's forehead with a look of exasperation: "She wants your pearl! She's no different from a clownfish or a sea serpent! And you're still defending her? You're bought off with a little food!?"
Fuqu: "No, no! The fairy is not like the clownfish! She is a good person!"
The two started arguing, which gave Cang Li a headache. He yelled fiercely at them:
"Go argue in the sea!"
Fuqu shrank back, grabbed Mo who was still stubbornly standing there, and ran into the sea, saying as she ran, "Immortal Master, I'll come back tomorrow to catch fish for you!"
Cang Li waved her hand to indicate that she understood, and then continued to check on her salt. Over the past few days, her salt-making harvest had been mediocre, and the water in the salt pond had become quite shallow. Cang Li introduced the initially formed brine into the crystallization pond to continue evaporation, and then introduced new seawater into the salt pond.
The human race currently has 10,000 people. Based on each person consuming about three catties of salt per year, this is far from enough. She needs to bring back at least 1,000 catties of salt before leading the human race to the seaside to continue salt production.
Cang Li sat under the shade of a tree, pondering how to obtain enough salt. She couldn't afford to waste too much time, and she didn't know when it would rain at the seaside. Salt production required a long period of sunshine.
