Chapter 158: Relaxed

Translator: AstralGhostEditor: Kurisu

Bei Feng read his book quietly, occasionally lifting his head to gaze at the colorful butterflies fluttering around the resplendent garden.

Time flowed by slowly and finally, Bei Feng stood up and stretched his back before disappearing into the kitchen again.

After lunch, Bei Feng peeled the White River Rice and gathered all of the seeds together. Then, he took the little fox to the cliff at the back of the mountain to plant a new crop of White River Rice.

Tens of seeds were scattered into the cracks in the rocky cliff. ”Little fellow, you must work hard! This time, we'll split the fruits 50/50. What do you think?”

”Meep?”

The little fox lowered its head and counted with its tiny claws in a confused manner before meeping aloud happily.

Although it wasn't able to calculate how many fruits was 50/50, it knew that it was enough for it to eat for a very, very long time!

Bei Feng smiled wryly as he looked at the little fox. He really didn't know if the little fellow would become frustrated after taking care of the White River Rice once.

After everything was done, he went to the lake to check on the Frigid Snowy Arowanas.

The lake was not big and was only a few hundred meters in size. Perhaps instead of a lake, it would be more suitable to call it a pond?

The water was extremely clear, and lush water plants grew along it. All sorts of aqua plant life lined the shores, and a few birds were startled into flight as Bei Feng approached.

Apart from the center of the lake, its other parts were not even three meters deep. As for how deep the center was, Bei Feng did not know...

...but from the shore, one could see an obvious dark inky circle of water about 20-30 meter wide in the center of the lake. The water there obviously had to be much deeper than in the surrounding waters to create such a phenomenon.

Bei Feng strolled along the shore for a while without seeing any trace of the Frigid Snowy Arowanas. 'Could it be that they had all swum into the deep waters?' He thought as a few pieces of Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat appeared from his spatial ring. With a flick of his wrist, the meat was tossed into the center of the lake.

”Plish!”

The Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat landed right in the middle of the inky water and immediately began to sink.

As soon as the meat touched the water, all the fishes and shrimps nearby swarmed over and bit at the meat.

Bei Feng's eyes lit up as a big fellow emerged from the deep end of the pool. Contrary to his expectations, it was not the Frigid Snowy Arowanas. Instead, it was an oversized carp!

The carp was at least seventy, eighty jin heavy, and was over a meter long. It swayed its powerful tail and shot towards the piece of meat.

”D*mn, this random lake can actually produce such a huge carp?” Bei Feng gasped with disbelief.

Just as the carp was about to swallow the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King meat whole, a huge shadow suddenly appeared beside it. With a speed that left the carp unable to react, it slammed fiercely into the side of the carp and knocked it away.

The carp was obviously intimidated as it hurriedly swam back into the depths of the lake, not daring to show itself any more.

The huge fellow who knocked the carp away was none other than the only Grade 3 Frigid Snowy Arowana! It had reached 4 meters in length. In this little lake, it was probably the undisputed overlord!

The other three 2-meter-long Frigid Snowy Arowanas also appeared soon after. They each swallowed a piece of meat before diving back into the deep regions of the lake.

Bei Feng guessed that this deep water region might be linked to a vast underground river or some kind of karst cave. Otherwise, how could a huge carp like that appear in an obscure lake like this?

'Forget it, it's fine as long as the Frigid Snowy Arowanas do not escape from here.'

Bei Feng turned around and returned to the villa to continue reading his books. The more he read, the more he began to understand the wisdom of the ancient people. Every read-through of every book brought him new insights.
