Chapter 40 (1/2)

As Lu Chen walks towards the tavern, he stops when he passes by that large chinese scholar tree He first glances at the tree root before walking over to the giant rock with a s on it, fishi+ng, he asks, “Old Yu, how’s the fishi+ng going today?”

Old Yu’s hat rotates from one side to the other as the person in question remains silent

As one who had foreseen such an outcohtly He squats next to Old Yu and says, “I say, Old Yu, persisting on like that here isn’t a solution”

“Pa dah!

A dull thu by his side, Old Yu turns around to take a look, only to see the s heavily onto the floor from Lu Chen’s hands The fish hook had slipped out froed itself onto the fish’s body, piercing through the abdomen of the small fish
