I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 194, 1.13: Easter Special Event (Ling Tong)

"Ah!!" A sharp scream echoed throughout the entire Egg Park.

Ling Tong slightly raised her eyes, her golden-orange eyes as beautiful and dazzling as the sunset sky, with a touch of vermilion at the corner of her eyes as if it were the finishing touch. Just a light glance was enough to make someone's whole body go weak.

That stunningly beautiful face seemed to flaunt itself, completely overshadowing the beauty of others. Like a peony among flowers, it outshone all others, and like a domineering and flamboyant flame, it burned everything it touched to ashes.

His dark red hair was tied into a loose three-strand braid that cascaded down his shoulders to his waist, with a small, delicate gold lotus-shaped hair ornament hanging from the end. A tassel earring on his left ear dangled from his shoulder, swaying gently with his movements, elegant yet casual.

The light blue stand-up collar and diagonal placket robe, adorned with a white and gold lotus flower, added a touch of mystery and nobility to him. A gold bird-shaped brooch, embroidered with a plum blossom button on his chest, was so vivid that it seemed about to take flight.

He casually leaned against a large tree by the lake, holding an ordinary fishing rod, with a terrifying black mask and a pale blue oil-paper umbrella beside him, fishing leisurely in a deserted place.

With a 'plop', the fish bladder suddenly sank down. Ling Tong grabbed the fishing rod and pulled on it. Finally, when it lost its strength, he pulled hard and pulled it out of the water.

Her golden-orange eyes glanced at the three-lobed mouth holding the fishhook in the air. The white rabbit's fur was soaked with water, but it looked at Ling Tong with a wronged expression.

Ling Tong: "..." He had never heard of catching a rabbit from the water, let alone a drenched rabbit.

Do the rabbits in this park really enjoy swimming?
He sighed softly, picked up the rabbit, carefully separated it from the fishhook, and then placed it on the ground.

The rabbit looked at Ling Tong and scratched its ear, seemingly a little embarrassed. Then it dropped a blue egg and jumped back into the water.

It really is……

Water rabbit...

Ling Tong looked down at the pattern on the blue Easter egg left by the rabbit. A hint of confusion flashed in his golden-orange eyes, and the touch of vermilion at the corner of his eye made him look even more captivating.

What is this?
He casually placed the blue egg aside, pulled up the fishing hook, and threw it into the river.

Fishing is meant to be relaxing and restful, not really for the sake of fishing, much less for catching rabbits, so he didn't add any bait from the beginning.

"Hey! Don't run away! Aren't you going to stay? I haven't had enough fun yet!" Mu Yin's slightly bloodthirsty and unrestrained laughter came from nearby, as if he was enjoying the thrill of hunting and being baptized in blood.

Ling Tong looked calmly at the still water, seemingly unaffected by the noise.

"Ah!!" The agonizing scream was even sharper than before.

"Don't rush, I haven't dug out the bones yet. You can't die before I'm finished," Mu Yin laughed freely. "Keep your voice down, my hearing is too good and sometimes it sounds a bit harsh. The louder you scream, the more it will hurt~"

Ling Tong tightened his grip on the fishing rod slightly. The two were now only about twenty meters apart. He could hear everything Mu Yin said clearly, but he had absolutely no interest in what Mu Yin was going to do.

He sighed softly, thinking that he probably wouldn't be able to continue fishing today, when the fish bladder suddenly started moving.

He paused for a second, then quickly pulled up the fishing rod.

only……

"Why is it you again?" Ling Tong rubbed her forehead slightly, looking quite helpless.

The rabbit, with its teeth bared and grinning, bit the fishhook and expertly shifted its body, signaling Ling Tong to pick it up.

Is he addicted to playing?
Ling Tong thought this, but still hugged the rabbit that had fallen into the water. The moment she hugged the rabbit, it released its mouth and left the straight fishing hook, its whole body burrowing into Ling Tong's arms.

Ling Tong raised an eyebrow slightly, grabbed its long ears and lifted it into the air. Her narrow, golden-orange eyes stared intently at it, the crimson at the corner of her eyes making it blush. It covered its eyes with its paws, looking extremely shy.

"Please don't come any closer, okay?" His tone was slightly helpless; he simply couldn't bring himself to speak coldly to small animals. The rabbit nodded and was then placed on the ground.

It pulled out another green egg from somewhere, placed it on the ground, and then jumped back into the water a second time.

Ling Tong: "..." Where exactly did it come from, and what is the use of this egg?

He pondered for several minutes whether he should continue fishing. He didn't really want to encounter that rabbit that had taken the bait again, but if he didn't fish, there was nothing else to do today.

"How come there's only one Easter egg? I thought I could collect all ten at once. Oh no, we're going to lose the competition now." Accompanying Mu Yin's words was a crisp 'crackling' sound, as if bones were being crushed.

Can you please stop saying or doing these kinds of things next to him?

Ling Tong thought for a moment. He didn't want to run into anyone, so he decided to wait until Mu Yin left before leaving.

So he simply threw the fish bladder into the river again, this time focusing all his attention on Mu Yin, who was not far away, constantly wondering when this person would leave.

However, before Mu Yin could leave, the fish bladder moved even more violently than before.

After much deliberation, he decided to make a pinky promise.

The water surface splashed with tiny droplets, as if it were drizzling.

A wet white rabbit is biting a fishing hook, holding a struggling fish in its arms.

Ling Tong: "..." We meet again, so is this a gift for our first meeting?

The rabbit threw the fish on the ground, then moved its three-lobed mouth and stared at Ling Tong with a wronged expression, even making a low hum to try and elicit his sympathy.

"Little guy, what are you doing again?" Ling Tong reached out and hugged it, looking down at it and asking softly.

There's nothing but helplessness when it comes to this mischievous white rabbit.

The white rabbit struggled to jump to the ground, kicked the lively fish at its feet, and looked at Ling Tong with its red eyes as if it wanted to praise her.

Ling Tong paused slightly, a faint smile curving his lips. A gentle smile filled his golden-orange eyes, the crimson at the corners making him even more captivating.

"Are you worried I won't catch any fish?" She gently stroked the white rabbit's head and said softly, "I'm just resting here, I'm not actually fishing. But thank you anyway."

The white rabbit rubbed its long ears with both hands, wriggling awkwardly, when it accidentally kicked the fish in front of it, and the whole rabbit fell into the water.

All that remained on the ground was a puddle of water, a lively fish, and a pink Easter egg.

Ling Tong lowered his eyes and chuckled softly. The lingering self-loathing in his eyes was slightly dispelled by the smile, and he reached out and put the fish into the water.

He covered his face with the mask, gently opened the oil-paper umbrella, and turned to leave the tree.

Under the shade of the tree, there was only a puddle of water, three colored eggs, and a...

A broken fishing rod.

Ling Tong beat Fei Xiu by one vote in this event; it seems like the same two were vying for first place last time...

Xiao Yin really became just a background character in this chapter.
