The Illusory Sea Lake was completely silent.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi's group sat by the lakeside to warm themselves by the fire. In front of them, there was only Baili Mingxiang standing on the ice.
Jun Yi Xie and Ouyang Ning Ruo were also sitting by the lakeside to warm themselves by the fire. In front of them stood a total of ten fishermen.
The two sides were less than a hundred meters apart, but the disparity in strength was obvious. The two sides were facing each other. Although there was no verbal conflict between them, they were all paying close attention to each other.
The smell of gunpowder had already spread across the ice. Whether it was Baili Mingxiang or the ten fishermen, every action was a contest between the two sides.
Suddenly, one of the fishermen stomped on the ice. No one knew what he was hiding under his shoe, but with one stomp, a hole appeared in the ice.
He stomped three times in a row and actually made a hole in the ice. Of course, it was impossible for him to step on a fish eye. However, the fish that had been deprived of oxygen for a long time still gathered.
The fisherman took out a long spear and stabbed it. Once again, he raised the spear full of fish. There were at least twenty of them, and all of them were big fish.
"Hehe, this prince is hungry!" Jun Yi Xie was overjoyed. He took the spear and directly put it on the fire to roast.
This was clearly a demonstration of his ability to eat fruit!
Although anyone could cut through ice to fish, it was indeed an expert who could do it so quickly. If it were an ordinary person, it would take them half a day just to cut through the ice.
Long Fei Ye and Han Yunxi looked on coldly and did not make a sound.
Baili Mingxiang was a very calm woman. She knew that this group of fishermen was not simple, but she was not afraid.
Although there were many fish eyes, finding fish eyes was still a skill.
It did not matter how many people there were, but how good they were.
If she had to find a group of professional fishermen, she could find them.
She turned to look at Han Yunxi and teased, "Esteemed wangfei, are you hungry?"
"I see that some people have lost their appetite. I'm not hungry. Let's begin. "
Han Yunxi smiled brilliantly. She was even calmer than Baili Mingxiang. If the other side wanted to scare her with such a showy display, wasn't she looking down on her too much?
General Baili naturally had his reasons for only bringing Baili Mingxiang with him.
"Yes!"
Baili Mingxiang was delighted that esteemed wangfei trusted her so much.
When she turned around, her gaze inadvertently drifted towards His Highness Duke of Qin.
With just one glance, she saw his handsome face, his eyes that were as deep as the sea, and his heart that was frozen three feet deep.
Your Highness Duke of Qin, Mingxiang will definitely win this battle for you just for this one glance.
Ignoring the other side's protests, Baili Mingxiang crouched down to examine the surface of the ice. Her jade-like fingers tapped against the surface to listen for sounds, then stroked the ice with her fingers. Gradually, she immersed herself in the task and forgot about the cold. Unconsciously, she rolled up her sleeves and ran her bare arms across the surface of the ice.
Even Jun Yi Xie and Ouyang Ningnuo found it boring that their provocations were ignored, to say nothing of the fishermen.
"Start searching. We'll get a boat for each one we find."
In all of Cloud Realm Continent, only Ouyang Ningnuo could match His Highness Duke of Qin's generosity.
His words were casual, but the fishermen were all over the place. Soon enough, all ten of them began to search the ice with all their might.
Everything seemed quiet, but a fierce contest had already begun!
Jun Yi Xie rose to his feet and stood by the lake to study Baili Mingxiang. Soon enough, Ouyang Ningnuo came over as well and murmured, "This girl isn't simple."
There had to be a reason why Long Fei Ye had sent out such a sickly girl.
"What, are you scared?" Jun Yi Xie retorted.
Ouyang Ningnuo only smiled wordlessly. Two of his ten fishermen were top-level experts who held the record for finding the most fisheyes on Fishery Island.
Why would he be scared? Why would he do something that would cost him money?
Jun Yi Xie stared at Baili Mingxiang for a long time. The more he looked at Baili Mingxiang, the more he felt that something was off. This sickly beauty didn't seem to be sick, but poisoned.
Unfortunately, they were still some distance away, so he couldn't be sure.
He was puzzled. What kind of poison did this woman have? Was it something that Han Yunxi couldn't cure? And how did she get poisoned?
While Jun Yi Xie was puzzling over the situation, there was a sudden BANG!
Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw one of the fishermen stabbing his spear into the ice, causing it to crack open.
Could it be …
Jun Yi Xie was a layman, so he didn't understand what was going on. Ouyang Ningnuo laughed heartily. "Old Yu, your skills have improved!"
The fisherman, Old Yu, laughed heartily. "Master, you flatter me. What this old man found was merely a small fisheye."
As Old Yu spoke, he pulled out his spear. The accumulated ice immediately cracked open, revealing a hole. The sound of water splashing was extremely loud, so one could only imagine how many fishes were swimming underneath.
As soon as the fisheye was found, the fishermen at the side immediately came over to cast a net. They took out a flexible bamboo pole and inserted it into the fisheye, then casually cut a hole in the distance. With this method, it didn't take long for them to catch a sizable number of fish.
"So fast! You guys should take it easy. Don't catch all the fish! "Jun Yi Xie laughed arrogantly as he walked over to take a look at the fisheye.
"Your Highness Duke of Kang, it's impossible to catch all the fish, but it's still possible to find all the fisheyes in this area." Old Yu chuckled.
"Then hurry up and find all the fisheyes. This prince will reward you handsomely if you can find all the fisheyes!" Jun Yi Xie said loudly.
Baili Mingxiang naturally heard everything, but she didn't raise her head to look at the other party. She continued to search the surface of the ice.
Behind her, Long Fei Ye, Han Yunxi, and General Baili didn't say a word as they waited patiently.
Not long after, there was a sudden thump. Another fisherman had found a fisheye, and it was a small one.
"Men, cast the net!" Jun Yi Xie waved his hand grandly, and a group of fishermen hurried over.
After a while, there was another loud thump. A third fisheye appeared. Old Yu had found it again.
Jun Yi Xie and Ouyang Ningnuo sat on the shore. Jun Yi Xie was casually munching on a grilled fish with an arrogant expression on his face. He kept looking at Long Fei Ye and the others with disdain. On the other hand, Ouyang Ningnuo was smiling. He was very satisfied with the fishermen's performance.
They had already begun to pull in the net for the first fisheye. It took a lot of effort for more than a dozen fishermen to pull in the net. The net broke through the ice and was filled to the brim with lively fish. Anyone who saw such a large number of fish would be envious!
While the fishermen were busy harvesting, two other fishermen had found a fisheye at the same time. Two loud thump sounds rang out one after the other. Everyone was very excited to hear this. Even though there were still small fisheyes, they had already found five!
On the other hand, Baili Mingxiang didn't find a single fisheye. One had to know that in an area with so many fisheyes, five fisheyes was already a lot.
It was very likely that there were no more fisheyes left in this part of the lake.
Long Fei Ye watched as the fishermen furiously pulled in the net. His gaze was even colder than the surface of the lake. It was so cold that no one dared to look at him for too long.
Han Yunxi quietly watched Baili Mingxiang. At this moment, Baili Mingxiang was lying flat on the ice. Her ears were pressed against the ice as if she was listening to something.
Han Yunxi didn't understand, but she knew that if this continued, Baili Mingxiang wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
The ice was very cold to begin with, and Baili Mingxiang was working so hard. If they couldn't hold on, then no one would be looking for fisheyes anymore.
It had to be said that General Baili was getting a little anxious when he saw this.
Even though he believed in his daughter's abilities, she was also very good at dealing with fishermen. He realized that he had underestimated the other party's strength.
He hadn't expected to run into Jun Yi Xie either. He had thought that he could take his time looking for fisheyes with Mingxiang since they weren't in a rush anyway.
He really wanted to ask Baili Mingxiang to look for fisheyes in another part of the lake, but wouldn't that make them a laughingstock?
What was the difference between that and losing?
But if they didn't change locations and persisted, wouldn't his daughter be wasting her efforts and sacrificing her body for nothing if there really were no more fisheyes?
"Boom!"
There was a sixth explosion. It was that fisherman called Old Yu again, and it was still a small fisheyes.
Finally, General Baili couldn't remain calm. "Your Highness, how about we change locations? I'm afraid Mingxiang's body won't be able to take it. "
"She should know best whether or not we should change locations," Long Fei Ye said. Even though the other side was bustling with activity, he didn't bat an eyelid or panic.
General Baili was in a difficult position. His Highness didn't know Baili Mingxiang's personality, but as her father, he did.
His daughter had to put up a strong front and didn't want to lose any face for His Highness.
With no other choice, General Baili cast a pleading look towards Han Yunxi. Han Yunxi was worried that Baili Mingxiang's efforts would be in vain if she kept wasting her time. She'd end up harming her body and spoiling the bigger picture instead.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to persuade her, Baili Mingxiang, who was lying on the ice, suddenly stood up. Her face, red from the cold, was filled with pleasant surprise. She was so excited that she forgot herself and boldly looked into Long Fei Ye's cold eyes. She loudly said, "Your Highness, I found it! I found a medium fisheye! "
A medium fisheye!
In that moment, everyone looked over, including Jun Yi Xie's large group of people.
For experts, small fisheyes were easy to find, but medium fisheyes were hard to find! A medium fisheye was worth ten small fisheyes!
"Good!"
Long Fei Ye looked at Baili Mingxiang and gave her a single word. However, Baili Mingxiang had given her a positive look, a look of affirmation.
Baili Mingxiang stood in place, so excited that she didn't know what to do. She'd done it! She'd finally done it!
Apart from the Beauty's Blood, she'd also made him look at her a little longer and remember her a little longer.
"Chisel the ice and cast the net!" Han Yunxi shouted. She coldly glanced at Jun Yi Xie.
Jun Yi Xie and the others had made such a big commotion and found so many, but Mingxiang had found just one! What were they being so arrogant for?
"Men, quickly!"
General Baili was overjoyed and excited. His daughter hadn't lost face for him or for His Highness Duke of Qin! Fortunately, they hadn't changed locations, or they would've suffered a huge loss.
Jun Yi Xie fiercely tossed the grilled fish in his hand and stood up. "Ouyang Ningnuo, don't tell this prince that you're changing locations!"
Generally speaking, there wouldn't be a second medium fisheye within a hundred meters of the first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the fisherman, Old Yu, suddenly shouted, "Master! Master, hurry over here! I found it! I found it! "
Ouyang Ningnuo's eyes flashed, and he immediately rushed over. Jun Yi Xie was a little confused, but he hurried after him.
This Old Yu … found what?
