Jiang Cheng: “No, no, no.”

Yue Lipeng: “I’m a good guy, and a fishing old-timer, fisherfolk are all family around the world!”

Shen Gengqin: “Good brother, teach us your tricks, we can pay!”

Yue Lipeng: “Right, right, right, we’ll pay, we’ll pay.”

Jiang Cheng continued to shake his head: “That’s not it.”

Shen Gengqin was obsessed with Jiang Cheng’s fishing technique, and even though Jiang Cheng had refused, he wasn’t planning on giving up.

What a champ, this guy’s fishing was as unceasing as a middle-aged man’s networking. If they could learn a few tricks, they’d be the envy of other anglers!

Shen Gengqin said: “Then brother, name your price! As long as you can teach us a bit, we’ll pool our money to learn from you.”

Jiang Cheng was overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.

He thought about Zhou Yunshan, who had spent twenty thousand to “cultivate” a Fluorescence Talisman. Suddenly, he felt nothing but respect for the fishing old-timers.

Do all people who like fishing have such kind, good-hearted, and generous natures?

“What I mean is, it’s not quite right for you guys to call me ‘brother’,” said Jiang Cheng, pointing at himself. “I’m only eighteen. You two should probably be considered my uncles, right?”

Yue Lipeng nodded: “Indeed, my daughter is nineteen, and my son seventeen.”

Shen Gengqin elbowed Yue Lipeng, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

“In fishing, we don’t care about age. The knowledgeable is the teacher. Brother, you teach us your tricks, and we’re willing to pay. What do you think is the best way to proceed? We’ll follow your lead,” he said.

Yue Lipeng nodded along.

This young man was too good; what’s a bit of money?

To learn his techniques, it was worth every penny!

A fishing old-timer is a simple single-cell organism, only capable of straightforward actions essential to life.

In the fishing community, whoever catches fish is the boss and has prestige. Those who can’t catch fish have to sit at the kids’ table during meals.

Jiang Cheng told the truth: “Actually, I don’t know how to fish.”

Shen Gengqin and Yue Lipeng’s eyes widened; they had never seen a young person as good at bluffing as Jiang Cheng.

“What do you mean ‘you can’t fish’?”

Jiang Cheng helplessly responded: “I really don’t know how to fish. Look, my bucket doesn’t have a single fish in it.”

That’s because you damn well put the fish back into the river. You can’t think we didn’t see that, right!

A master; this kid is playing dumb like a pro!

Shen Gengqin and Yue Lipeng exchanged glances and asked: “Young brother, what exactly will it take for you to be willing to teach us how to fish?”

Jiang Cheng could only give a wry smile: “I truly don’t know how, I really can’t teach you.”

Hearing Jiang Cheng say this, Shen and Yue were no fools.

If this young fellow was dead set against teaching them, there was nothing they could do.

However, now having witnessed Jiang Cheng’s fishing skills, they could no longer face their own dismal fishing experiences.

They could have lived with being part of the “air force” if they had never met Jiang Cheng. But now, Jiang Cheng had turned their “air force” into an even more woeful version.

“However…”

As Jiang Cheng’s tone shifted, hope was rekindled in their eyes.

“If you guys keep failing to catch fish, I do have another method.”

“What method!”

Jiang Cheng glanced at the One-Time Animal Encouragement Talisman he had used on his fishing rod and said: “I can’t say yet, but you can give me your contact details. When I can tell you, I’ll let you know right away.”

The two of them saw that Jiang Cheng looked serious and not as if he were joking.

After considering it, they decided to hedge their bets and gave their contact information to Jiang Cheng.

“You must tell us, alright?”

Before leaving, Shen Gengqin made sure to remind Jiang Cheng once more.

“Okay.”

Jiang Cheng stroked his chin, pondering: “It seems that Zhou Yunshan isn’t the only middle-aged cultivator suffering from ‘fishing futility syndrome’.”

“Fish, that’s simple,” he mused.

“You don’t understand, they enjoy the process of fishing. If they really wanted to eat fish, they could just buy one from the market, why go through all the trouble of catching it themselves?”

“Strange.”

“Not strange at all, life is a process of enjoying processes. An affair with only a beginning and an end—that would be so boring.”

Liu Qing gently furrowed her brows.

She felt that Jiang Cheng was really good at reasoning, even though he was only a teenager, and she was more than two thousand years old, she was no match for him when it came to reasoning.

Furthermore, the more she listened to Jiang Cheng’s reasoning, the more she felt that he was right, and it seemed like things were exactly as he said.

“Let’s also head back, I have a new idea for improving the talisman.” Jiang Cheng began to pack up the fishing gear he had brought.

Liu Qing squatted down and silently helped him with the packing.

Even if the mud and mire on the fishing equipment dirtied her fair, slender hands, she didn’t mind. This was her job, and she intended to do it well.

Always, Jiang Cheng had earned money honestly and steadfastly through his labor.

Since Liu Qing had come to human society to train, she certainly had to learn from her friend Jiang Cheng and earn money honestly without stealing or robbing!

Jiang Cheng might not know how to fish, but he was good at learning, and he tried to simulate the situation of a fisherman as much as possible during this trial fishing.

Fishing rods, hooks, bait—none of the basic equipment was lacking.

Especially the bait, which was surprisingly particular; just the basic types alone included several varieties, such as ground bait, and even the bait to catch different types of fish was specialized.

Liu Qing reached out to pick up a bag of bait packaging from the ground, and as soon as her hand touched the bag, it was immediately covered by a larger hand belonging to a male cultivator.

Liu Qing looked up and met the nearly face-to-face gaze of Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng’s face was expressionless as he silently withdrew his hand.

“Ahem, the weather has been erratic lately, so it’s quite normal for hands to be a bit cold.”

He was very nervous.

Why was that?

Through his scent, Liu Qing quickly understood Jiang Cheng’s mental state.

But she didn’t understand why just touching hands with her would make Jiang Cheng nervous.

This nervousness was not born from fear, but rather it was a kind of embarrassment, discomfort, and confusion.

Weren’t they friends?

Liu Qing thought back to her friends of the Demon Race.

Not only had they held hands with her, but some had even hugged her, and no one had felt nervous or uneasy, so why was this human friend of hers acting like this?

Human friends, indeed, so strange.

Phew, I almost gave myself away just now.

Jiang Cheng let out a big sigh of relief.

Although he had been psychologically prepared, when he actually touched Liu Qing’s body, that smooth, soft tenderness…

Ahem, that temperature lower than a normal human body still surprised him a bit.

A snake’s body temperature is quite low.

But Liu Qing is a great power cultivating immortality.

If she wanted to maintain a high body temperature, it should be no difficulty at all.

Yet she didn’t maintain it…

What could be the reason for that?

Jiang Cheng did not understand the motive behind Liu Qing’s action at the moment.

It couldn’t possibly be that she didn’t know the difference between human and snake body temperatures and simply forgot to adjust her temperature, could it?

No way, that kind of basic mistake wouldn’t even be made by a primary student.

On second thought, Liu Qing’s motive for doing this was not actually important to Jiang Cheng.

As long as he continued “not to discover” Liu Qing’s identity as a Snake Demoness, he would always be safe.

How could someone as law-abiding as him possibly employ a member of the Demon Race who was smuggled into human society as illegal labor?

If you don’t discover a problem, then there is no problem.

This round, it’s “Forgive me, I cannot discover her mystery” activated!
