Chapter 411 Ruo Shui May Have Boundless Water, but Only One Jug’s Worth Was Needed (2/2)
The hot qi in his body could not stop leaping and he thought to himself that maybe the hot qi was in fact the essential qi. According to the wisdom of the noble witch, there would be marvel when one release the essential qi out of the body. He tried to use his senses to release the essential qi and as the essential qi touched Ruo Shui, he felt a strong force of absorption. Could it be that the Ruo Shui has absorbed the essential qi? Along with the qi, he fell into the water.
At that very moment, Chen Jinchan realized how terrifying Ruoshui could be. His essential qi was flowing away and his feather-light body could not stop sinking. Water filled up his mouth and nose and it was hard for him to breathe. His orifices points started to expand but it just could not absorb any oxygen. He was able to stay conscious temporarily but he was sinking deeper downwards and the essential qi started to leak out from his orifices points, and that caused him to feel lethargic.
He then noticed a shadow swimming towards him, it was a dragon carp. The dragon carp open its mouth as it head towards him. Chen Jinchan could only feel helpless as he thought about his fate. Just moments ago, he had a miracle, and now, he would soon be buried in the belly of a fish.
Yesterday, he had a bowl of dragon carp soup and soon, he would be eaten by a dragon carp. Even if that was karma, things should not end in that matter.
The dragon carp opened its mouth and charged towards one of his arms. Chen Jinchan was defenseless and could only move his limbs with all his might. But this had no effect on the Dragon Carp which was considered as the top predator on the food chain of Ruo Shui.
He could feel a sharp pain after his right hand hit on the head of the dragon carp. This gentle hit caused him a fractured arm. But if this happened to his old body before the miraculous transformation, his bones would have crushed into powder.
The dragon carp was furious. It swayed its tail gracefully and swam towards Chen Jinchan's face. He thought to himself that this would be the end of everything.
All of a sudden, he felt his body moving upwards to the surface of the water. The dragon carp flew up from the water but helplessly dived into the water again without harming him.
A familiar voice could be heard, ”I was wondering what creature that I have caught. Apparently it was you.”
Chen Jinchan landed awkwardly. He did not bother about the sharp pain he was feeling and looked towards the source of the voice. All he could see was a person with a fishing rod up above the cliff. The fishing line was released from his body and once again landed in the water. Everything was so natural and not pretentious at all.
After the incident last night, he was certain that Shen Lian was legendary. By just learning the way Shen Lian breathed, he had a full-on transformation. Now that Shen Lian was his life saviour, there was no way he could repay this favour. He adjusted his clothes, ignored his fractured arm and politely kowtow to Shen Lian, ”Thank you for rescuing me. I do not know what can I do for you in return.”
Shen Lian laughed, ”You are a sharp-witted boy. So tell me. Yesterday it was fishing and what are you up to today? Since you are pleasing to the eye, I might help you.”
Chen Jinchan was surprised and happy, so he told Shen Lian about Chen Beidou's order.
”The Mountain God can easily summon rain. If he wants it to rain, he would not need you to provide the water. He just wanted to make things difficult for you. But you do not need to panic as it's not difficult to take the water. Ruo Shui may have boundless water, but only one jug's worth was needed for three feet and three inches of rainwater.” Shen Lian said calmly.
The reason why Chen Jinchan would fall into this situation was actually Chen Beidou's idea of testing Shen Lian. It was a response to Shen Lian for a being a busybody by teaching Chen Jingchan a method.
Unfortunately, Chen Jingchan was smacked in between the battles of the two celestial being.
