God of Fishing

Chapter 943: Poignant People Inside the Painting

“I’m finally here.”

Han Fei estimated that he didn’t stay too long in the weird arrays of the Nine Sounds. However, Chun Huangdian reminded him that the Sea Quelling Painting was of such a high quality that it was probably not just a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure.

A Human Sacred Weapon? Is it a weapon better than the Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasures?

“Huh?”

Han Fei unfolded his wings and soared to the sky.

He didn’t know what was going on in the town, or if the person Jiang Qin sought was there. In the Sea Quelling Painting, the town had residents, but he didn’t know who they were until he went there.

There were no barriers around the town. It was as plain as the Heavenly Water Village.

When Han Fei stood on the floating island, he found birds, flowers and fertile land. He also saw a cottage exactly like the one he built for himself.

Huh? Why is the spiritual energy so thin here? How can you cultivate with such thin spiritual energy?

Han Fei sensed something different. While there were all sorts of creatures on the island, the spiritual energy wasn’t enough for training, which was unreasonable because the world inside the Sea Quelling Painting should have much more spiritual energy than the outside world!

Han Fei moved forward along the way to the cottage he saw.

A moment later…

Han Fei knocked on the door. “Hello? Anyone home?”

Han Fei had already sensed that a middle-aged woman was gardening.

Creak!

The middle-aged woman opened the door, and Han Fei found that she was much younger than her clothes indicated.

Han Fei saw easily that the woman was a peak-level Hidden Fisher. She was definitely not weak, but not too strong either.

The woman shivered when she saw Han Fei. “Are you a new prisoner?”

Han Fei was intrigued. “What do you mean? Are you imprisoned here?”

The woman was slightly surprised. “Are you not?”

Han Fei grinned. “I came here openly. Who can imprison me?”

The woman looked at Han Fei suspiciously. “You did? You came in after listening to the Nine Sounds?”

Han Fei nodded. “Yes. Who are you? How long have you been trapped? How many people are here?”

The woman suddenly grinned. “Even if you walked in, so what? You will not get out without enough luck. You’ll be stranded here forever after seven days…”

Han Fei’s pupils contracted. “What do you mean?”

The woman heaved a sigh. “It’s been three hundred years since I came in. I’m not as sad as I used to be. In fact, the life here is great. Now that you’re here, just take a walk. If you hadn’t come to this town, you could leave in seven days, but now that you’ve come, you can’t leave without enough luck.”

Han Fei asked casually, “What should I do?”

The woman smiled. “The Sea Tokens! If you gather all the luck from the Sea Tokens, you might have a chance to subdue this painting. Just a chance…”

Then, the woman was about to close the door.

Han Fei immediately held the door and said, “Senior, where are you from?”

The woman smiled casually. “Me? The Jade Fairy Palace, probably. It’s been such a long time that I’m forgetting everything.”

Han Fei quickly asked, “Senior, do you know if there’s any plantation in the town?”

The woman’s eyes suddenly glittered. “Are you from the Thug Academy?”

Han Fei was briefly stunned. Was his academy so famous?

The woman stared at Han Fei for a long time, before she finally withdrew her gaze and turned her head aside. “Never mind. It’s no use clinging on to the past. The plantation is to the south of the town!”

As she talked, she closed the door, as if she didn’t really like Han Fei.

Han Fei scratched his head. It was true that someone from the Thug Academy was here!

Without a word, Han Fei rose and flew to the south side of the town.

Considering his position on the painting, he was in the middle west part of the floating island at this moment.

Hum!

The Wind God Boat left a streak of red light in the sky.

Han Fei saw that many people were looking up. But when he spread out his senses, he found that most of them were ordinary people or common fishers.

Occasionally, he saw someone who was quite strong. Some of them were Hidden Fishers, even peak-level Hidden Fishers.

They all looked at Han Fei, but they didn’t attack or chase him. There was no telling what was on their mind.

As a result, Han Fei flew all the way to the plantation without being stopped at all.

He was too familiar with plantations.

He knew that everybody from the Thug Academy couldn’t change the habit of growing things everywhere they went. At this moment, Han Fei saw plenty of spiritual fruits that he was familiar with, and some unfamiliar ones that were probably unique inside the Sea Quelling Painting.

Han Fei detected two men, one middle-aged and the other younger.

They were digging at this moment.

Yes, they were digging, with bare hands, like two ordinary people.

When Han Fei scanned them, both of them raised their heads and looked up at him. They seemed too used to the farmer’s lifestyle to scan their surroundings all the time.

Therefore, they didn’t notice Han Fei until he entered the yard and scanned them.

The young man stood straight. “Huh! Is he a stranger?”

The middle-aged man nodded. “Yes, a stranger. We’ve met everybody in the village. It seems that someone has come from the outside world.”

A moment later, Han Fei walked to the place where they were digging through the gap between two fields. The two parties gazed at each other.

Han Fei casually picked a fruit from a tree nearby, peeled it, and put it in his mouth.

“Bla!”

He remarked, “It’s not tasty due to the lack of spiritual energy. It’s half ripe but still bitter.”

The middle-aged man and the young man both stared at Han Fei with glittering eyes.

Han Fei suddenly grinned and crossed his hands. “Han Fei, of the Thug Academy, paying my respect to you, Senior Uncle and Senior Brother.”

“Phew!”

Both of them gasped. Someone from the Thug Academy has come again?

The middle-aged man roared, “How did you come here?”

Han Fei grinned. “I found the underground city with the Sea Tokens, entered the Bone Yard, got into the Sea Quelling Painting, won the approval of the five legends, cracked the array of Nine Sounds… and here I am.”

Han Fei felt like his self-introduction was very awesome.

He thought to himself, Do you hear the things I’ve done? Am I not impressive?

However, the two men didn’t seem delighted.

The young man said gravely, “First of all, don’t waste your spiritual energy. The spiritual energy here is thin. You can hardly recover if you run out of spiritual energy. Secondly, how much luck do you have? I mean, how many Sea Tokens did you find?”

Han Fei grinned. “Well, three. Senior Uncle, Senior Brother, shouldn’t we catch up?”

The young man was slightly surprised. “You acquired three Sea Tokens on your own?”

Han Fei smiled. “In fact, I only got two. The last one was offered to me by Sister Qin.”

“Xiao Qin is here? How did she come in?” they said at the same time rather solemnly.

Han Fei waved his hand. “She entered the Bone Yard, but only I, Wang Dashuai and Chu Linyuan, came into the Sea Quelling Painting.”

The young man simply threw his tools and heaved a sigh. “Dashuai and Linyuan are here too?”

He instantly looked at Han Fei and asked earnestly, “How is it going with Xiao Qin outside? Was the trip dangerous?”

Han Fei said, “Of course it was! To enter the underground city, human beings and sea demons had a huge war. Blue Feather fell for our trap, and more than five thousand sea demons died in the ancient battlefield… Sister Qin truly suffered… Ouch, Senior Brother, you’re hurting me…”

Seeing that the young man’s eyes had become bloodshot, Han Fei was no longer in the mood to tease him. He quickly said, “Sister Qin destroyed her cultivation and dropped to the level of a Hanging Fisher before she came in. She couldn’t have come in if she were still a Law Enforcer.”

The young man instantly clenched his fists and shivered.

The middle-aged man said, “Yang Xie, don’t panic just yet. Xiao Qin is very gifted. Normal dangers can’t hurt her.”

Yang Xie nodded and tried to calm himself down.

The middle-aged man said, “Han Fei, I am Jiang Chao, Jiang Qin’s father. You may call me Senior Uncle. How is it going with the Thug Academy these days? What about my father?”

Han Fei was slightly surprised. As a matter of fact, he always thought that Jiang Qin was only looking for Yang Xie. She never mentioned anything about Jiang Chao.

Han Fei said, “Same old, same old. Old Bai is extremely lazy and greedy. Xiao Zhan and Wenren Yu have recruited new students and are probably teaching them. Old Jiang is a gourmand! But he came too and is supervising the situation outside. He’s probably enjoying either hotpot or braised pork, while we fight hard inside the Sea Quelling Painting…”

Han Fei talked eloquently and stuffed spiritual fruits into his mouth now and then, making Jiang Chao’s and Yang Xie’s eyes twitch.

Yang Xie hurriedly stopped him. He found Han Fei quite unusual. The guy kept rambling on and even ate spiritual fruits when he was delighted…

Han Fei was briefly stunned when Yang Xie stopped him. Then, he quickly offered a handful of spiritual fruits. “Senior Uncle, Senior Brother, would you like some?”

Jiang Chao looked at the spiritual fruits and shook his head. “Han Fei, don’t eat or use these spiritual fruits randomly. This place looks peaceful but is actually very dangerous. Nobody that came here has ever gotten out… You know what I mean?”

Han Fei gave a handful of spiritual fruits to Yang Xie and smiled at Jiang Chao. “Senior Uncle, no need to be courteous. I have thousands of assorted spiritual fruits. Don’t worry.”

Jiang Chao was shocked. “Why would you carry so many spiritual fruits? Also, spiritual fruits alone aren’t enough. This place is short of energy too…”

Han Fei took out an energy fruit and bit it. “I have thousands of energy fruits too.”

Jiang Chao: “…”

Yang Xie: “…”
