Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The fish was already on the verge of collapse. It couldn’t move even after being held by Yang Guang. It was slowly squirming.

Lu Wenwen was a little curious. She shone her flashlight on the fish. “What kind of fish is this? I don’t think I’ve seen it before!”

Qi Yingxue was a restaurant owner and knew a little about fish. She looked at it and said, “I don’t know this one either. Look, its eyes are almost gone. It must have been living in the dark water for a long time and its eyes have deteriorated!”

“Who cares what kind of species it is? As long as it tastes good!”

Yang Guang said and turned to look at the slope. “When this place is developed, we can build a platform on it. We can let the tourists experience the feeling of fishing in the cave!”

“Ah, you want to build a scenic area? Everything is to attract tourists!” Lu Wenwen said.

“How can we make money if we don’t let the tourists be happy?”

Yang Guang chuckled and hugged the big fish. “Let’s go home first. This place will definitely be developed into a scenic area. I’ve already thought of a name. It’s called the Greater World!”

Everyone left the cave and walked out of the valley.

When they were almost at the village entrance, Xu Ling was still a little nervous. She didn’t want the villagers to see her in a sorry state. After all, her butt was covered in mud. It was too ugly.

In the end, she was unlucky. As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, she saw Sun Wannian coming out of the village with a flock of sheep.

When Xu Ling saw that, she quickly hid behind Yang Guang.

But there were four people. How could they avoid him?

Moreover, Yang Guang was carrying a big fish in his arms. How could Sun Wannian not come over to take a look?

Sure enough, when the old man saw them, especially the fish, he immediately ran over with his eyes wide open. “What happened?”

“What? Why are you stunned?” Yang Guang asked with a smile.

Sun Wannian’s eyes were wide open. “Where did this fish come from?”

“I caught it in the mountains!”

Seeing his surprised expression, Yang Guang laughed.

However, Sun Wannian’s eyes were wide open. “Stop fooling around. There’s at most a pond in the mountains. How can there be such a big fish?”

“Uncle Sun, I can’t help it if you don’t believe me. I’ll catch a few more later and ask you to come my home to drink fish soup!”

Yang Guang chuckled and did not explain further. He carried the fish and left.

Xu Ling used her hands to cover her butt as if she was trying to bury her head in the sand. She quickly followed him.

It was not until they reached home that she heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she dragged Lu Wenwen back to her room to change her clothes.

After listening to Yang Guang’s explanation, Wu Xiaolian could not help but turn her head to look at the mountains to the west. “It’s really strange. There’s actually a lake in the mountains?”

“Yeah, that lake has probably existed for hundreds or thousands of years. For some unknown reason, the lake water broke through the stalactite cave and flowed out of the mountains.”

Yang Guang smiled and continued, “If not for that, I’m afraid no one would have discovered its existence!”

“Then, can this fish be eaten?” Wu Xiaolian asked.

“It can definitely be eaten, don’t worry!”

Yang Guang patted the smooth scales on the fish’s body with a look of certainty.

When Xu Ling and Lu Wenwen came out after changing clothes, he had already used the scimitar to cut open the fish.

“Oh my God, how can you use it!”

Lu Wenwen cried out in surprise and ran over to say.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing her shocked expression, Yang Guang raised his head.

“This is a treasured knife, and you actually used it to kill fish?”

Lu Wenwen’s eyes widened.

“What’s wrong with a treasured knife? Isn’t it used to cut things? Can it only be used to kill people?” Yang Guang asked back.

“Uh, whatever you want!”

Lu Wenwen couldn’t refute him. She could only glare at him, get up, and run away.

After cleaning up the internal organs and scales, Yang Guang used the scimitar to chop the fish into pieces and then handed it to his sister-in-law.

Wu Xiaolian’s culinary skills were without a doubt. She stir-fried the fish in a pot of oil, then added hot water and began to stew it.

When it was noon, a strong fragrance wafted out from the courtyard.

In the end, everyone could not hold it in anymore and run into the kitchen.

Looking at the milky white fish soup that was rolling in the pot, Lu Wenwen swallowed her saliva. “My God, how can it be so fragrant?”

“I’ve eaten a lot of fish, but this is the first time I’ve tasted such a strong fragrance!” Qi Yingxue added.

“What kind of fish is this?” Xu Ling asked.

No one could answer her question. Everyone was drooling as they watched the fish soup.

When it was out of the pot and brought to the dining table, Lu Wenwen couldn’t wait to scoop up a spoonful of it. She didn’t care that it was hot and just took a sip.

Everyone looked at her intently, wanting to hear what she had to say.

In the end, Lu Wenwen pouted and almost spat!

Wu Xiaolian was shocked. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t it taste good?”

“No, it’s too good. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to drink such fragrant fish soup in the future!” Lu Wenwen said with a sobbing tone.

“Uh, you scared me!”

Yang Guang glared at her and hurriedly scooped up a spoonful of soup as well.

When the thick soup entered his mouth, the fresh and sweet taste immediately spread to the tip of his tongue. The taste was simply indescribable!

He picked up another piece of fish meat and tasted it. The fish meat was compact and very chewy. Even if it was stewed over a large fire for a period of time, it would not disperse. The taste was also very fragrant and sweet.

Everyone praised it endlessly as they ate. They all said that this was a high-class delicacy.

Seeing that everyone liked it, Wu Xiaolian smiled and said, “Such a big fish can’t be stewed in one pot, so I left half of it. You can take the rest, Yingxue.”

“Don’t!”

Yang Guang raised his head and immediately said, “How can half a fish be given away? I’ll go again in the afternoon and get a few more. You should bring them back, Sister Yingxue and Wenwen!”

Hearing him say this, Qi Yingxue immediately smiled and was very happy.

Lu Wenwen also smiled sweetly and quickly said, “That’s more like it. Thank you, Brother!”

Yang Guang’s soles became weak from calling her brother. He immediately became even more energetic, thinking that he had to catch a few more fish in the afternoon!

Just like that, everyone drank their fill of fish soup and ate up the fish meat. All of them had satisfied expressions on their faces.

The fish head and bones were not wasted either. Little Guang crunched under the table and chewed them all up.

After eating his fill, Yang Guang packed his things and left the house with a scimitar at his waist.

After running for the whole morning, he did not let the ladies follow him. This time, it was to catch fish and he did not need anyone’s help. Yang Guang felt that he could do it alone.

He rushed into the mountain excitedly and headed straight for the cave. Soon, Yang Guang returned to the lakeside.

He had been fishing since he was young. Yang Guang was not unfamiliar with this, so he quickly fixed the fishing line and tied it to a wooden stick he had just cut. Then, he threw the hook into the water.

He thought it would be easy to take the bait, but after waiting for almost half an hour, the hook had not been bitten once!

Yang Guang was puzzled. After thinking carefully, he patted his own head!

The fish here were all blind. Their eyes were almost gone. How could they see the bait?

Thinking back to how the fish had appeared, he suddenly had an idea!

Hence, Yang Guang stood up and started shouting at the surface of the lake.

Needless to say, this move was really effective.. A school of fish began to jump on the surface of the water!
