Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 231 - 12: The Crazy Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

Chapter 231: Chapter 12: The Crazy Junior Sister Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

In a moment of fright, the two boats floated on the black water like two withered leaves.

The school of fish circled the boats relentlessly, but eventually dispersed and left.

The surface of the water returned to its previous calm, and at that moment, the fog cleared, revealing a clear and open view once more.

But everyone still hid under their raincoats, not daring to move, until finally Jiang Lai poked his head out to take a look, then glanced at the Second Senior Brother beside him.

He always kept his long hair covering half of his face; it was Jiang Lai’s first time observing him up close, unexpectedly finding his features so delicate, and his eyes glimmered faintly blue in the dim light.

Jiang Lai knew he wasn’t human, but still didn’t know what species he was. However, upon their close contact just now, the man was chillingly cold, making Jiang Lai feel like he was a snake.

But before she could ponder further, Second Senior Brother had already pushed her away, then took off his raincoat and removed his hat.

"Those fish should only be active in the fog."

Jiang Lai looked at him.

Second Senior Brother must be the one who died with the most dignity among them, at least it required the combined efforts of both the male and female leads to barely subdue him.

Noticing Jiang Lai’s gaze, Second Senior Brother glanced at her, his gaze indifferent, and the hint of blue disappeared. Jiang Lai wondered if she had seen wrongly earlier.

The others also cautiously observed for a long time before carefully poking their heads out.

Du Furong still clung tightly to Senior Brother, pressing against his chest with trepidation.

"I’m so scared, what if those fish come back? We should watch a bit longer to be safe."

Everyone present could see her thoughts, and of course, Senior Brother was aware too. So he took off his raincoat and handed it to Du Furong, then silently sat down beside her.

Seeing this, Jiang Lai nodded with satisfaction.

That’s right, Senior Brother should realize sooner that women are a stumbling block on his path to growth and completely eliminate any possibility of becoming crazy in love.

After everyone calmed down, they all turned to look at Jiang Lai.

Fourth Senior Brother asked directly.

"Did you know that there are cannibal fish in this river?"

Jiang Lai shook her head without changing her expression.

"I didn’t know."

"Then why did you buy these things?"

"I said it’s to prevent the fog from wetting my hair, didn’t you hear?"

Fourth Senior Brother still seemed suspicious but had no evidence to prove Jiang Lai knew beforehand.

This time he could only chalk it up to her luck saving the lives of two entire boatloads of people.

"Do you think those people before are dead?"

With so many wrecks on the river, the people on those boats must have fallen into the water. The fish in the water are so fierce, surely not even bone fragments would remain.

Du Furong panicked; this trial wasn’t what she imagined—nearly losing her life on the first day, how could the next nine days possibly go on?

"Impossible, there are elders in the Secret Realm who will protect us. If we encounter life-threatening dangers, the elders will save us."

Senior Brother could only comfort everyone like this.

At this moment, Jiang Lai leisurely raised a fishing rod, casting out bait and starting to fish.

"Instead of thinking about all that mess, why not think about how to pass the time ahead."

This river is long; we haven’t even seen its end yet. Since we’re idle, we might as well fish for fun.

"Aren’t you afraid of catching those same fish just now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bait moved slightly, and Jiang Lai quickly cast the rod. Amidst everyone’s gaze, a silver-white fish emerged from the water and was thrown directly onto the boat.

"Wow, what a beautiful fish!"

Fourth Senior Brother’s eyes immediately shone when he saw it.

"Silver Salmon!"

A Spirit Stone in water, consuming it aids in enhancing Spiritual Power, a treasure only Immortals cultivate in their ponds, extremely rare and valuable.

Within seconds, the fishing line twitched again, another fish was on the hook, still a Silver Salmon, even plumper than the last.

Now everyone gathered around to watch Jiang Lai fish, especially Fourth Senior Brother, who squeezed out Third Senior Brother, staring fixedly at the fish by Jiang Lai’s feet.

"Little Sister is amazing, catching so many fish; we all can taste something fresh later."

Jiang Lai rolled her eyes at him.

"Didn’t Fourth Senior Brother say what I bought was useless garbage? Now you want to eat what these useless things catch?"

Fourth Senior Brother laughed awkwardly, choosing treasure over face.

"Senior Brother was indeed shortsighted; where can I have such foresight as Little Sister? Oh dear, look, another one’s hooked!"

This time, a White-headed Golden Body Fish was caught, with a string of dark little fish fry trailing behind its tail. Senior Brother stood up immediately, eyes filled with astonishment.

"Mother and Child Fish! It’s the Mother and Child Fish from the Task Scroll!"

Everyone was stunned; no one expected that casually fishing in the river could complete a scroll task.

Jiang Lai opened the scroll to see it was the third-ranked task content, rewarding two thousand Middle-Level Spirit Stones.

Out of nowhere, two thousand Spirit Stones came into her hands, but Jiang Lai remained calm, instructing Senior Brother to find something to keep this string of fish.

Just like that, Fourth Senior Brother now had a jar in his hands, nurturing a whole brood of fish, not minding the weight and enjoying it thoroughly.

It was widely acknowledged that Jiang Lai was lucky, not only saving everyone but also completing a task. Now even Senior Brother dared not say more, happily following Jiang Lai and occasionally glancing at the fish in his arms.

Upon reaching the shore, they saw many people fishing with rods, each holding their breath and afraid to make a sound.

"Do these people know that the fish have already been caught by us?"

In this river, there’s only one brood of Mother and Child Fish, now swimming in the jar.

Fourth Senior Brother silently put the lid on the jar, then hugged it tight.

At this moment, Jiang Lai saw Mu Wu also fishing not far away, furrowing her brows at the water, occasionally checking her special bait.

Wei Ziling was beside her, holding a fishing rod.

"Wu, it’s getting dark, if you can’t catch it, let it go."

"No way."

This bait is infused with her unique spirit water, just a tiny bit can attract all beasts, how could it not catch a single Mother and Child Fish.

Wei Ziling saw her determination and cheered her on.

"If you can’t catch them, others surely have no chance, Mother and Child Fish are so fierce, definitely not easily hooked. Let’s take it slow and steady."

Jiang Lai chuckled.

In the original plot, it was indeed Mu Wu who caught the Mother and Child Fish; as soon as she tossed her bait, they were easily hooked.

Jiang Lai hadn’t expected that bait bought onshore could catch fish either; this was great, she had long disliked the female protagonist aura.

The people of the Sun and Moon Sect have high cultivation, driving small boats could easily navigate past the school of cannibal fish, let alone the fact that Mu Wu harbors precious spirit water, just a sprinkle and the fish would immediately follow the water away.
