Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ning Fei sat quietly at the edge of the river and waited.

This time, no fish took the bait immediately.

Several minutes later, the fishing rod began to tremble violently.

Another fish!

Judging from the movements, it had to be a huge one!

‘This host is divine!’

‘Pull it in, Priest!’

‘Wow, another giant fish!’

The viewers were all cheering him on.

Ning Fei reeled in his rod and soon discovered that this fish was really strong. He had to use all his strength to prevent the rod from slipping away from his palms. The rod was being bent at a sharp angle, and it looked as if it would break at any moment.

“What fish is this? It’s so strong!” Ning Fei muttered in surprise.

Even the viewers became nervous for him.

After a long period of hard tugging and pulling, he finally managed to pull the fish above the surface.

When he finally caught a good sight of his prey, doubt and confusion slowly filled his eyes.

This fish was flat and resembled a hairtail. But its body was silvery-white, and its scales were shiny and smooth.

It was thrashing wildly on the hook with its long tail.

Ning Fei took a closer look and realized that its head was different from ordinary fish. Its mouth was slightly longer, and it looked like a toothless shark.

‘What fish is that?’?All the viewers were intrigued.

‘I have no idea. I’ve never seen this fish before.’

‘It seems special.’

‘Yeah, it looks like a dragon.’

At this time, System’s voice echoed inside of Ning Fei’s head.

“Ding! The first divine fish caught by Host has been detected. Host shall be given a skill as a reward. The skill is an encyclopedia on fishes.”

The encyclopedia would contain details and information on all fishes.

This skill arrived with great timing.

Ning Fei stared at the fish and noticed that the fish was looking back at him. Its eyes seemed to be pleading with him.

The eyes of fishes were usually dull and lifeless, but Ning Fei could detect emotions in this particular fish’s eyes.

All living things had a soul. For instance, a tourist had once chanced upon a cow that knelt down before him in the wilderness. The cow was making low grunting sounds as though it was begging.

The cow wanted some water.

After the tourist offered the cow water, it mooed softly, and the calf that was hiding nearby came out. The calf then began to drink the water. At this time, the mother cow looked at the tourist with tears in its eyes.

So that was the “spirit” or “soul” of the animal.

But this was the first time that Ning Fei had witnessed emotions in a fish. He activated his skill to understand more about this fish.

[The White Dragon Fish is a type of spiritual fish that is on the brink of extinction. It needs to thrive in exceptionally clean water, so it can only be found in rivers that flow from the top of mountains. A White Dragon Fish was first discovered more than 2,000 years ago, and its body is believed to be one of the mediums for divine beings.]

“Oh. So it’s a White Dragon Fish,” Ning Fei exclaimed in astonishment.

Ning Fei used his phone to research more about the White Dragon Fish. From the search results, experts had reported that the White Dragon Fish had completely died out in China since five years ago.

In this case, the White Dragon Fish was extinct.

As this fish was exceedingly rare and wasn’t even listed as one of the endangered animals that had to be protected, no one would bother with it. Therefore, Ning Fei could do whatever he wanted.

At this time, ”Manager Wang of the seafood market” sent another 10 rockets along with a message.?‘Host, please read your private message.’

Ning Fei had noticed this message, and the comments had marveled at the generosity of this person.

Ning Fei read the private message that Manager Wang wrote,

‘Little brother, I want this fish. I’ll give you 100,000?yuan¹!’

100,000 yuan!

It was an impressive sum of money, but Manager Wang was well aware that this sum was not even a fraction of what the real value of the fish was. This fish was reported to be extinct by experts!

He knew that there was a businessman who had reared a White Dragon Fish at home. And that fish was worth at least two million yuan!

That businessman believed in geomancy and had trapped this “dragon” in a pool. So, by keeping a “dragon” at home, he was accumulating its aura, and thus, he would have wealth rolling in! And true enough, this businessman had been expanding his businesses smoothly!

Now, Ning Fei had caught this fish, and it was definitely a White Dragon Fish! And this one was even bigger and more vibrant! This fish was definitely priceless!

Fortunately, this host seemed clueless about the fish’s real value. If Manager Wang could successfully purchase this fish, he would be rich!

‘I’m not selling,’?Ning Fei merely replied with a short message and caught Manager Wang off guard.

When Manager Wang saw Ning Fei’s reply, his eyes narrowed. Did this priest know something about the fish?

‘Priest, please reconsider. I’ll offer 300,000 yuan. I’ve been searching for this fish for a long time. Please grant me this favor.’?Manager Wang pleaded fervently and in a humble manner.

He had increased his offer to 300,000 yuan. This amount of money was definitely a lethal attraction to Ning Fei.

With 300,000 yuan, he would be able to renovate the temple and improve his living conditions as well.

But Ning Fei was unaffected as he said to the phone, “Manager Wang. Sorry, but I won’t sell the fish. Give me your bank account number, and I’ll refund you the ten rockets.”

He sounded firm.

He wouldn’t sell this fish.

There was no other reason besides that it was a divine being!

His master was a priest, and he was well versed in ancient history. His master had once told him that any creature with the ability to become a medium for a divine being was spiritual. And that creature would inevitably and inexorably have the ability to bless the people with peace and favorable weather. These spiritual creatures were passing down fortune and luck.

Now that a White Dragon Fish had appeared in this river, it meant that there were divine beings around in the mountains, so how could he sell the fish for money? His morals and beliefs as a Taoist wouldn’t allow him to.

As for renovating the temple and living in better conditions, it wouldn’t have mattered. If Ning Fei really did want that, he and his master would have cheated the villagers into donating to the temple or done dishonest stuff as priests. They wouldn’t do anything like that.

Therefore, he couldn’t accept the money.

Manager Wang was about to say something when Ning Fei grabbed the fish from the rod.

“Don’t be so greedy next time,” Ning Fei whispered to the White Dragon Fish before throwing it back into the river.

The White Dragon Fish jumped out of the water once before it dove right into the river and disappeared in a flash.

Manager Wang was dumbfounded by Ning Fei’s actions.

What was this priest doing?

Didn’t he have any idea how much the fish was worth?

It was two million yuan!

How could he dump two million yuan into the river?

Was his brain malfunctioning?

At the thought of this, Manager Wang chided and cursed Ning Fei in another private message.

When Ning Fei read it, he frowned and blacklisted Manager Wang permanently.

Ning Fei had initially wanted to return the money, but he had no wish to be bothered with him anymore.

A storm was threatening overhead, so Ning Fei grabbed his fishing rod and bucket before he turned around.

He was in a good mood. It didn’t affect him at all that he didn’t get the 300,000 yuan.

On the one hand, he had a wonderful harvest today with a bucket full of fish.

On the other hand, he had finally confirmed that his master was right. There were spirits and divine beings in this mountain!

The White Dragon Fish was the best piece of evidence!

He had seen an ancient divine being in the flesh!
