Chapter 8 (2/2)

Ning Fei read the private message that Manager Wang wrote,

‘Little brother, I want this fish. I’ll give you 100,000 yuan1!’

100,000 yuan!

It was an impressive sum of money, but Manager Wang was well aware that this sum was not even a fraction of what the real value of the fish was. This fish was reported to be extinct by experts!

He knew that there was a businessman who had reared a White Dragon Fish at home. And that fish was worth at least two million yuan!

That businessman believed in geomancy and had trapped this “dragon” in a pool. So, by keeping a “dragon” at home, he was accumulating its aura, and thus, he would have wealth rolling in! And true enough, this businessman had been expanding his businesses smoothly!

Now, Ning Fei had caught this fish, and it was definitely a White Dragon Fish! And this one was even bigger and more vibrant! This fish was definitely priceless!

Fortunately, this host seemed clueless about the fish’s real value. If Manager Wang could successfully purchase this fish, he would be rich!

‘I’m not selling,’ Ning Fei merely replied with a short message and caught Manager Wang off guard.

When Manager Wang saw Ning Fei’s reply, his eyes narrowed. Did this priest know something about the fish?

‘Priest, please reconsider. I’ll offer 300,000 yuan. I’ve been searching for this fish for a long time. Please grant me this favor.’ Manager Wang pleaded fervently and in a humble manner.

He had increased his offer to 300,000 yuan. This amount of money was definitely a lethal attraction to Ning Fei.

With 300,000 yuan, he would be able to renovate the temple and improve his living conditions as well.

But Ning Fei was unaffected as he said to the phone, “Manager Wang. Sorry, but I won’t sell the fish. Give me your bank account number, and I’ll refund you the ten rockets.”

He sounded firm.

He wouldn’t sell this fish.

There was no other reason besides that it was a divine being!

His master was a priest, and he was well versed in ancient history. His master had once told him that any creature with the ability to become a medium for a divine being was spiritual. And that creature would inevitably and inexorably have the ability to bless the people with peace and favorable weather. These spiritual creatures were passing down fortune and luck.

Now that a White Dragon Fish had appeared in this river, it meant that there were divine beings around in the mountains, so how could he sell the fish for money? His morals and beliefs as a Taoist wouldn’t allow him to.

As for renovating the temple and living in better conditions, it wouldn’t have mattered. If Ning Fei really did want that, he and his master would have cheated the villagers into donating to the temple or done dishonest stuff as priests. They wouldn’t do anything like that.

Therefore, he couldn’t accept the money.

Manager Wang was about to say something when Ning Fei grabbed the fish from the rod.

“Don’t be so greedy next time,” Ning Fei whispered to the White Dragon Fish before throwing it back into the river.

The White Dragon Fish jumped out of the water once before it dove right into the river and disappeared in a flash.

Manager Wang was dumbfounded by Ning Fei’s actions.

What was this priest doing?

Didn’t he have any idea how much the fish was worth?

It was two million yuan!

How could he dump two million yuan into the river?

Was his brain malfunctioning?

At the thought of this, Manager Wang chided and cursed Ning Fei in another private message.

When Ning Fei read it, he frowned and blacklisted Manager Wang permanently.

Ning Fei had initially wanted to return the money, but he had no wish to be bothered with him anymore.

A storm was threatening overhead, so Ning Fei grabbed his fishing rod and bucket before he turned around.

He was in a good mood. It didn’t affect him at all that he didn’t get the 300,000 yuan.

On the one hand, he had a wonderful harvest today with a bucket full of fish.

On the other hand, he had finally confirmed that his master was right. There were spirits and divine beings in this mountain!

The White Dragon Fish was the best piece of evidence!

He had seen an ancient divine being in the flesh!
