The poor could be helped, but those who were willing to work should also be helped. They could have no money or meat, but at least they were willing to take out their leftover bones to share. On the surface, a few fish heads could make a large pot of soup, but everyone only drank a bowl. It seemed that the rest was earned by First Madame Gongsun. In fact, everyone shared it with each other so that they could drink hot soup.
As for those refugees who refused to even take out their fish bones, even First Madame Gongsun could not help them.
Du Feng observed while drinking the soup and found that the people who entered the tent to drink the soup had a happy smile on their faces. In fact, their conditions were not much better than those of those refugees. The only difference was that they had a small ice house to live in in the far north continent. Most people had wives and children, and they needed to support their families.
The fish and shrimps caught on the fifteenth day of each month needed to be saved and eaten slowly. As a martial artist, after filling their stomachs a little, they had to find time to cultivate and improve their strength. Because only when they were strong could they catch more fish and let their families eat well.
After staying for a long time, Du Feng heard something interesting. Everyone was discussing that in a few days, First Madame Gongsun would show her skills again. It turned out that this First Madame Gongsun, in addition to cooking fish soup, was also a fishing expert.
On the fifteenth day of each month, she would go to the Arctic Ocean to show her skills. There was no need for a boat at all. She could jump directly into the cold sea and catch a lot of fresh fish.
Hearing this, the corners of Du Feng's mouth rose slightly. In fact, he had already understood. That First Madame Gongsun was not a local at all. To be precise, she was not a human martial artist at all, but a demonic cultivator. She probably came from the Northern Continent and decided to stay because she saw that the people of the far north continent lived too hard.
If Du Feng was right, this First Madame Gongsun should be a demonic cultivator, and a sea demon. To be more specific, she should be a member of the Mermaid Race and belong to a mermaid tribe. After all, Du Feng had dealt with the mermaid tribe before, so he could still distinguish it.
As a sea demon, it was not surprising that she caught more fish than others. Perhaps she didn't want others to know her identity, so she waited until the fifteenth of every month to dive into the depths of the sea to fish. After all, human martial artists had a bad impression of demonic cultivators, especially sea demons.
Moreover, many of the northernmost continent's residents died under the attacks of the sea beasts. In their eyes, there was not much difference between sea monsters and sea beasts. If they knew that First Madam Gong Sun was a sea demon, not only would they not come to drink the soup, they might even tear down the tent and attack her.
This First Madame Gong Sun must have had a hard time. She probably disguised herself as a middle-aged woman to avoid attracting attention. As far as Du Feng knew, the members of the mermaid tribe were all young and beautiful. Even if they were old, they would not show signs of aging like humans.
However, it was easy for a young and beautiful woman to cause trouble outside. That was why First Madame Gongsun dressed herself like a middle-aged working woman. This way, she looked more amiable, and male martial artists would not easily have evil thoughts.
Sigh! It wasn't easy for a siren to make things difficult for herself in order to do a good deed in the territory of humans. Du Feng wanted to help her, but he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand. After all, there was no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. If he did it too abruptly, the other party would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives.
It must be known that the members of the mermaid tribe were often caught by human martial artists and kept in glass cabinets, exhibited everywhere to make money, and even traded as slaves.
"Young man, you have other purposes for coming here, right?"
Just as Du Feng was drinking the soup and observing, a voice as soft as a mosquito sounded in his ears. It was First Madame Gong Sun contacting him in a secret language.
"The same goes for aunty."
Du Feng did not answer directly, but used a rhetorical question to express his meaning. I have other purposes for coming to the northernmost continent, and you also have other purposes for coming to the northernmost continent, so we all have a tacit understanding.
"Then let's meet on the morning of the fifteenth."
"Okay, it's a deal."
While everyone was drinking the soup, Du Feng had already made an appointment with First Madame Gong Sun to meet on the shore on the morning of the fifteenth. When that time came, he would not be afraid of others knowing what he wanted to do when he dived into the water.
"Young Master, are you saying that First Madame Gong Sun is a sea demon?"
Although Xiao Ya was the contact person that the Seven Profound Martial House had placed in the far northern continent, she did not come from the Thousand Moon Nation. She was born and raised here, but because she had gone out and come into contact with the people of the Seven Profound Martial House, she had decided to rely on them. First Madame Gong Sun had been doing good things in the northernmost continent for a certain number of years. Xiao Ya did not dare to believe that she was a sea demon.
"There are good people among sea demons, just like there are bad people among us martial artists."
Du Feng righteously educated Xiao Ya, telling her not to judge a person by their species. He also told Xiao Ya that on the morning of the fifteenth, he would cooperate with First Madame Gong Sun to dive into the depths of the ice ocean.
"Yes, I believe Young Master."
Xiao Ya originally thought that First Madame Gong Sun was not a bad person. Even if she was a sea demon, she was still a good one. Moreover, with Du Feng as a witness, it was even more true. However, when she proposed to go into the sea together on the fifteenth, she was sternly rejected by Du Feng.
What a joke, it was the ice ocean. Although the water temperature rose a few degrees on the fifteenth, it was still not something that ordinary people could bear. Most of the residents of the northernmost continent would choose to go out to sea on the fifteenth and cast a net to catch fish and shrimp. Occasionally, they would fall into the sea. Although they would not be frozen immediately, they had to quickly climb back onto the boat. This was because after a long time, the heat in the body would be lost. If it was light, they would get frostbite, but if it was heavy, they would die.
Only people with a high level of Cultivation or special physique could stay in the cold water for a long time. Xiao Ya obviously did not belong to that category of warriors with a high level of Cultivation. Her physique was also not special, so Du Feng would not let her take the risk.
Although Du Feng did not let Xiao Ya take the risk, she was still so excited that she could not sleep for a few days. Until the morning of the fifteenth, she prepared breakfast early and waited for Mr. Du to finish eating before meeting with First Madame Gong Sun.
"Young Master, can I go with you? I can just watch from the shore."
Xiao Ya still did not give up. She wanted to see how Du Feng entered the sea and how he would cooperate with First Madame Gong Sun. One must know that First Madame Gong Sun had been in the northernmost continent for a long time, but she had never cooperated with anyone. Why did Mr. Du have such great charm to be able to cooperate with First Madame Gong Sun the moment he came to the northernmost continent?
"Sure, but don't get too close to the shore."
