"I don't suppose the old master could lend me some fish, and I'll repay with a dragon!"

Ye Feng's remark stunned everyone fishing in the area, and as they recovered from their surprise, their gaze toward him was filled with oddity and ridicule.

"Borrow some fish and repay with a dragon! This guy's got quite the nerve!"

Everyone felt Ye Feng was just bragging, and moreover, he had come to fish, yet before he had even caught anything, he was asking to borrow some—truly a bizarre one.

"Young man, it is priceless to know oneself—eat as much as your stomach can hold! If you obviously have a small appetite yet insist on filling a large bowl, you're likely to burst!"

Jiang Lanlan clearly had little regard for Ye Feng; not only was this guy a toad lusting after a swan's flesh, but he also had the audacity to mock her son earlier, even dragging her into the insult, which nearly bottomed out her impression of him.

Jiang Lantao, the elderly Jiang's eldest son, who was the bespectacled middle-aged man silent up till now, also snorted coldly, obviously thinking that Ye Feng was talking big as well.

"Got one! Got one!"

Just then, an ecstatic voice rang out—it was Qi Jian.

At that moment, Qi Jian gripped his fishing rod tightly, feeling the hook sink rapidly and jerk toward the side of the stream, unable to contain his elation.

"This definitely isn't a fish, the force tugging at the hook is much greater than any fish!"

Qi Jian, while bursting with pride, cast a teasing glance at Ye Feng. Having been overshadowed by Ye Feng in front of Jiang's father the day before, today he could finally let out some steam.

Moreover, this was an opportunity to impress Elder Jiang; if he could truly delight the older man, perhaps his and Jiang Ying's marriage could be settled.

Qi Jian forcefully yanked the fishing rod, stepping backward swiftly, pressing his feet down hard and flinging his hand back with a sudden whoosh.

Splash!

A splash surged, and a long, dark creature was pulled from the water, thrown onto the shore.

Looking at the sleek, snake-like thing, everyone was somewhat dumbfounded.

This is… an eel!

Seeing that it was just an eel, Qi Jian's face fell with reluctance, especially thinking about the pride he just felt, his cheeks burning with humiliation.

"Grandfather Jiang, this eel looks kind of like a dragon, does that count as…"

Qi Jian was clearly dissatisfied, and turned to ask Elder Jiang.

But before he could finish his sentence, Elder Jiang shook his head:

"We're trying to catch a dragon, not even a snake!"

Elder Jiang's statement turned Qi Jian's face as red as a liver in an instant, while inwardly he was exasperated enough to curse out loud.

Damn it! Dragons are just mythical totems!

Who the hell has ever seen a dragon, let alone caught one—it's nothing but a fool's game!

Qi Jian was brimming with frustration, but in the face of Elder Jiang, he dared not utter a single complaint and could only reluctantly sit back down and continue fishing.

Only then did Elder Jiang turn his gaze to Ye Feng, his face beaming with a friendly smile:

"Young man, if you want to catch a dragon, you must possess a heart even stronger than that of a dragon! In this respect, you already qualify! Now, it all depends on your own skills!"

As Elder Jiang spoke, he handed a bucket of fish to Ye Feng:

"Choose whichever fish you want! I hope what you bring back is indeed a dragon."

Ye Feng, upon hearing Elder Jiang's words, felt a surge of approval for the man, and without any reservations, he directly selected some small fish from the bucket.

And seeing the small-sized fish Ye Feng had selected, Jiang Lantao's eyes sparkled with an unusual gleam, as if his interest in Ye Feng had grown yet further.

After picking out the fish, Ye Feng wasted no more time, promptly using a small fish as bait and then casting his hook into the water.

Using live little fish for bait was probably the most peculiar fishing method these locals had ever seen.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, simply watching Ye Feng quietly, seemingly eager to see if he could really catch a dragon.

Time slowly passed by, and before they knew it, an hour had slipped away.

During this time, not only had Ye Feng not caught a dragon, but he hadn't even caught the smallest of fish.

What's more, the guy had already moved to several different spots, practically changing location every 15 minutes!

Watching this guy's peculiar way of fishing, and seeing his apparent lack of patience, everyone on the spot no longer believed Ye Feng's tall tales. They were certain that this guy was just shooting the breeze!

Qi Jian, Jiang Lanlan, Little Monkey, the old master's eldest son Jiang Lantao, and Mother Jiang—none of whom had a good impression of Ye Feng to begin with—now held even greater contempt and disregard for him.

It could be said that in their eyes, Ye Feng had completely lost face this time.

Starting with his boast of being able to catch a dragon, followed by showily borrowing fish from the old master to use as bait, to ending up not catching a single fish and having to shift spots several times!

All of this gave everyone reason to believe that Jiang Lantao must also have the utmost disdain and dislike for Ye Feng!

Unfortunately, that was just what the people thought, while Jiang Lantao noticed that every little fish Ye Feng threw into the water was eaten up cleanly. After moving to several spots and already having used more than a dozen little fish.

"Indeed, he's an interesting young man!"

The more Jiang Lantao watched, the more he liked Ye Feng, the more pleasing he found him. He felt that Ye Feng strongly resembled his younger self, unshakably holding on to his own beliefs, regardless of how severe the mockery and attacks from those around him were.

Splash!

Just as everyone had their own thoughts, they suddenly heard the sound of water splashing on the surface of the stream. When they looked over, they saw that Ye Feng's fishing line had suddenly started thrashing wildly.

"Haha... Even a blind cat finds a dead mouse! After more than an hour, this guy's finally about to start his streak!"

Qi Jian immediately burst into laughter, his face brimming with mocking amusement, curious to see what Ye Feng would pull out on his first catch.

It wasn't just him—Jiang Lanlan and her son's smiles were also filled with scorn, as if watching an idiot, a fool who was utterly clueless.

Jiang Lantao, the old master's eldest son, glanced disdainfully at Ye Feng's thrashing fishing line and snorted with contempt before ceasing to pay any more attention.

At this moment, Jiang Lantao, Father Jiang, and Jiang Ying were all filled with curiosity; they clearly wanted to know what Ye Feng would catch.

While everyone was watching his fishing line, Ye Feng did not immediately pull the rod. Instead, he vibrated his palm a few times in a rhythmic pattern before suddenly yanking it up.

Whoosh!

Water splashed and scattered in all directions!

A snow-white shadow followed the pull of the rod and was abruptly yanked onto the shore.

This creature was entirely snow-white, and upon hitting the ground, it jumped high into the air, its dazzling whiteness glaringly bright under the sunlight.

And upon seeing this creature, everyone was stunned:

"A fish?"

That's not right!
