The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Moran's "Parenting Handbook" is still being written, but Vasita and Lilith have already returned.

They learned about Moran's recent situation from Sylph as soon as possible.

The card witch who once struggled through life and death, after fulfilling her wish to save the blue planet, is now leisurely fishing and compiling parenting books by Lake Chunjian.

After their initial shock, the two were filled with curiosity and excitement to "watch".

As a result, the fishing platform in the backyard of Morana's originally quiet lakeside cottage became an unprecedented "spectacle".

Four fishing rods were lined up in a row, and four fish baskets were placed at their feet. The small wooden fishing platform suddenly seemed a bit crowded, and there was no room for even a rattan lounge chair. The four witches could only sit in a row on small stools.

Moran still adhered to her "Jiang Taigong fishing, those who are willing will take the bait" idea. She casually set up her bamboo fishing rod, and the float bobbed up and down in the shimmering water. Most of her mind was still on writing the "Parenting Handbook". She held the "Parenting Book" in her hands and read it, occasionally making some notes.

Sylph was also not very interested in fishing. She put her fishing rod on the stand and couldn't wait to go to Moran's side, pick up her manuscript, and read it with great interest, occasionally discussing the parenting methods in it with Moran.

Vasita and Lilith, however, became completely engrossed in their "catch".

Although they tacitly refrained from using cheating methods like "luck spells," they each displayed their unique skills.

Vasida pulled out a small jar of her own specially made "fish-intoxicating bait".

She smiled slyly and gently sprinkled the bait into the lake.

Within minutes, the once calm lake surface was as if a bomb had been dropped on it!

Countless fish swarmed in from all directions, vying for the bait that exuded a deadly, alluring aroma, splashing water everywhere, creating a truly spectacular scene.

Lilith's eyes lit up when she saw this.

She deftly ripped the fishing line and hook off her fishing rod, revealing the bare rod shaft.

Then, amidst the "fish swarm" created by Vasita, she flicked her wrist, and the fishing rod shot out like the most precise javelin! "Plop! Plop! Plop!" With a few soft sounds, when the fishing rod was reeled in, it was already skewered with four or five plump, fresh, and still struggling in vain silver-scaled fish, a specialty of Lake Harumi!

Looking at the "violent" yet efficient fishing scene, and then at her own motionless float, Moran couldn't help but chuckle: "I've been 'fishing' at Chunjian Lake for so long and haven't been able to eat a single fish that I caught myself. Today, thanks to the two of you, I can finally have a sumptuous all-fish feast!"

Sylph looked up from her book at the skewer of "fishing rod barbecue" and laughed so hard she almost fell over: "Lilith, Moran wants a whole fish feast, this skewer isn't enough, hurry up and make some more!"

Hearing this, Lilith became even more enthusiastic and simply "requisitioned" the remaining three unused fishing rods as well. In her hands, the four fishing rods seemed to transform into four invincible harpoons, accurately and efficiently "harvesting" the fish that were dizzy and disoriented by Vasida's bait.

Before long, the catch of fish was piled up like a mountain.

Finally, everyone brought out their portable kitchens and set them up in the backyard. The kitchen utensils busied themselves, and everyone started cooking according to their own specialties. Frying, deep-frying, stewing, roasting, marinating... they used all sorts of methods with ease, and the backyard was filled with delicious aromas. The witch who came to pray outside the lakeside courtyard to draw a good card almost drooled.

The prepared dishes were placed directly on the open ground in the backyard. The steamed silverfish was tender and smooth, the pan-fried fish fillets were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the milky white fish soup was rich and delicious, and the charcoal-grilled fish skewers were fragrant and smoky... Every dish was delicious.

However, as Vasita ate, she frowned slightly, put down her chopsticks, and sighed:

"Although the fish from Chunjian Lake are quite delicious and have tender flesh, they are still too ordinary and lack that... surging, wild power and unique flavor from the deep sea!"
They don't taste as good as the sea monsters from the Kraken Sea!
That was a true delicacy, with firm, springy flesh, imbued with the pure power of water, and a complex, captivating flavor!

She licked her lips, her eyes gleaming with a longing for top-quality ingredients, growing more and more excited as she spoke:
"How about we go fishing for sea monsters in the Kraken Sea tomorrow? We can catch them, kill them, grill them, and eat them right away! I'll cook, using the spices and culinary magic I concocted in the Thran world! I guarantee it'll be so delicious you'll want to swallow your own tongues!"

Upon hearing this, Lilith put down the fish bones she had gnawed clean and thought for a moment:
"I know of a stunningly beautiful, uninhabited island on the outskirts of the Kraken Sea. It's surrounded by a variety of sea creatures with excellent meat, and it's also quite secluded. We can go there and enjoy sea fishing and delicious food without being disturbed!"

Both of them turned their expectant gazes toward Moran and Sylph.

Although Moran has been busy compiling her "Parenting Handbook" lately, she's not in a hurry; otherwise, she wouldn't be fishing by the lake every single day. She raised her glass:

"Alright, I've got nothing better to do lately anyway. Speaking of which, the sea monsters of the Kraken Sea are legendary, but I've never actually had the chance to taste them!"

Sylph's eyes lit up: "I haven't even been to the Kraken Sea yet! I remember the deep-sea magical plants there are quite unique. While you guys fish for sea monsters, I'll take the opportunity to dive down to the seabed and see their native environment!"

The more they talked, the more excited they became. Even the delicious whole fish feast in front of them seemed rather bland in comparison to the "sea creature feast" they had imagined.

"How about we go now?" Lilith suggested. "Night fishing for sea monsters is quite an exciting experience. If we leave now, we can catch some sea monsters, have a midnight snack, and even watch the sunrise over the sea!"

“Then this whole fish feast…” Sylph looked at Vasita.

"Just feed it to my 'devouring stomach'! It's not picky!"

Vasita summoned her Devouring Stomach, which opened like a miniature black hole, sucking in the remaining dishes along with the plate. Then, she let out a satisfied burp and disappeared.

When Moran saw this, she was amazed. They had eaten so "cleanly" that they hadn't even bothered to clean up afterward.

She stood up with a smile: "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Master! Master!" Squeaky, who had been squatting at Moran's feet and had been itching to hear this, immediately jumped up. Her fluffy little face was full of excitement, and she volunteered to raise her little paws:
"I'll grow bigger and take you there! I've memorized the coordinates of that island Lady Lilith mentioned; it's not far! I'll use my speed-traveling ability; I can cross it in just a few steps!"

“Sure!” Moran readily agreed, looking at her friends: “You guys haven’t tried ‘ZhiZhi’s ridesharing yet, have you? It’s definitely more ‘exciting’ than riding a broom.”

Under the curious and expectant gazes of everyone, Zhizhi's body rapidly expanded and grew larger, as if inflated! (End of Chapter)
