Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 202 This meat is extremely nourishing!

Once aboard the ship, they tied up General Huang's severed body with hemp rope.

This fellow was also quite fat; his half-body alone weighed down the boat, causing it to sway and rock.

Chen Shunan took out his dagger and slashed through the half-destroyed body, but found nothing resembling a fish pill or a precious pearl, so he gave up with regret.

"Take it to claim military merit first, then sell it to Golden Needle Li! This thing is a loach after all; even if we don't cook it and eat it, it can at least be used in medicine, right?"

This remaining value must be squeezed clean.

The trip was very fruitful. After gazing at the jade disc in the sky and determining the direction, Chen Shunan returned with a full load and rowed his boat towards the Sanchakou Wharf.

The covered boat glided across the water, leaving a deep ripple.

The moonlight, like water, bathed the surface of the water, creating shimmering ripples.

The water demons, including the Silver Scholar, the Golden Scaled Catfish, the Catfish Spirit, and the White Flower Snake, floated on the water's surface, gazing at Chen Shunan's figure from afar, as if respectfully bidding farewell to a deity.

The white snake's snow-white body shimmered with silver light. At this moment, it coiled its body slightly and flicked its tongue. In its deep, dark eyes, Chen Shunan's back was reflected.

It revealed a complex mix of emotions, including awe, admiration, reverence, longing, and timidity.

Upon seeing this, the scholar felt a faint sense of crisis.

It vaguely remembered that the white-spotted snake was a female snake!

"There are many strange tales circulating in the city about a white snake repaying a debt of gratitude by serving someone with her body. I must be vigilant and not let this white snake develop any improper thoughts!"

Prime Minister Yin will not tolerate workplace romances!
Then, he glanced at Jinlin Gui, who had not been promoted by the gods or given any official position.

A sense of self-satisfaction and pride welled up within me.

It has to be me!

……

The river was bitterly cold at night, and the remaining snow piled up on the rocky shore.

The wind swept across like a knife, whipping up tiny icicles that clattered against the soldiers' armor.

Several soldiers on night watch, carrying torches and with knives at their waists, patrolled the vicinity of the dock.

Not long ago, an old man who was night fishing ignored all advice and resolutely rowed his boat into the middle of the river.

Having not returned for so long, these soldiers all felt that the man was likely in grave danger.

So they secretly increased patrols to strictly prohibit any anglers from night fishing.

"Eh-"

The sound of oars came from the mist, slow and deep.

Jun Jian, who was on the shore, was taken aback at first. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small boat breaking through the river mist and slowly approaching the shore.

A dark mass lay on the deck, obscured by the fog, making it difficult to see clearly.

Then a figure wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat jumped off the boat, pulled the rope, and tied the awning boat to the shore.

"Hey guys, give us a hand! We didn't catch any silverfish, but we caught a big one!"

Some familiar voices came from inside.

Several soldiers approached for a closer look and, upon seeing Chen Shunan, were somewhat surprised.

"You old man, you're not dead?"

Then, their gazes fell on the lump of something on the deck.

Dark red blood, and mucus frozen into an ice shell.

The remains of a loach, almost the length of a boat, wafted over with a fishy, ​​cold odor that stung one's nose.

A triangular head lay tilted to one side, and even though it was completely dead, it still exuded a ferocious aura.

"This, this, isn't this the mudfish spirit?!"

"That's it! I recognize it. The scar on its head was cut by Brother Fang!"

"Quickly, go and report this! This scoundrel has finally been brought to justice!"

Upon seeing this, the group of soldiers were immediately shocked. They stared at the demonic corpse on the deck, their mouths agape, their lips so cold they could fit a fist, and even their purple lips forgot to shiver.

Fortunately, a veteran reacted immediately, pushing over a tiger-headed cart used for transporting wooden beams, and together they carried the demon corpse up there.

Then, these soldiers looked at Chen Shunan with surprised and uncertain eyes.

This old man looks ordinary, how come he's so fierce?

This mudfish spirit is comparable to a true master, especially when it enters the water, it becomes even more ferocious, and even martial artists of the same realm are far from being its match, and will only become food for it.

The commotion quickly attracted a lot of people, who gathered around and were astonished to see the still ferocious mudfish spirit.

Especially this loach spirit, although its teeth do not grow in the front of the mouth, but in the throat, that is, the pharyngeal teeth.

But at this moment, his mouth was agape, revealing a ring of small, file-like sharp teeth that sent chills down one's spine.

Anyone who gets a mouthful of this stuff will be covered in bruises.
Fang Cangshi was sound asleep in his room when a martial artist hurriedly knocked on the door. When he went out after putting on his clothes, he learned that the mudfish spirit, who had been wanted for many days but had not yet been brought to justice, was finally dead. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who was the righteous person who did this?"

Fang Cang asked questions as he walked.

"It was an old man. It seemed like someone recognized him. He was Chen Shunan, the manager of Wohujing."

"What? Manager Chen?!"

Fang Cangshi was taken aback.

Manager Chen has such incredible strength. Isn't he only at the second-rate level?
Is the Three Refinements of Martial Body really that mysterious, allowing one to kill enemies beyond their realm?
When he arrived at the dock, he walked quickly with short, quick steps.

Then they saw a bonfire being lit by the dock.

A group of people gathered in front of the fire.

The aroma of roasting meat wafted through the air, sizzling and dripping with oil. Chen Shunan actually used a dagger to cut off strips of loach meat and grilled them on the stone slab over the fire!
The rich fat was forced out, making an enticing sound as it dripped onto the charcoal fire.

A group of soldiers on night patrol and sentries lined up in an orderly fashion to receive roasted loach.

Ignoring the heat, he grimaced and blew on the food, carefully taking a bite.

Among them were several young men exuding a fierce and valiant air, who, while eating, spoke incoherently.

"Demons can eat people, and people can eat demons. Although this beast didn't die at our hands, the villagers have avenged their great grudge!"

"Fortunately, the brothers searched for loach burrows in the reeds for a long time, only to find that this guy was hiding in the deep water?"

"Fortunately, Master Chen came to the rescue. Could it be that Master Chen is the reincarnation of the Water God? His swimming skills are so good. It's just strange, though, that beast only has half a body left."

These young men had been tasked with capturing General Huang during the day, and they stayed up all night, their eyes bloodshot, but they hadn't even caught a glimpse of him.

When they heard the news that the beast had been brought to justice, and especially when they learned that the one who killed the demon was none other than Old Man Chen, whom they had brushed past in the government office during the day, they were even more astonished.

Ginger is still spicy!

This Mr. Chen, without saying a word or exhaling, went down into the river to catch loaches!
The young men felt a burning shame on their faces at the thought of their flamboyant demeanor during the day.

but……

Even if I can't kill this demon with my own hands, I'll at least fill my stomach!
eat!
The young men took a vicious bite.

Fang Cang then entered this place.

Fang Cangshi rubbed his sleepy eyes, still half asleep.

They're actually baking it?!

Only after he confirmed that the corpse was indeed a loach spirit did he finally feel completely relieved.

Fang Cangshi clapped his hands and laughed, saying,
"I wondered who this capable person was, able to capture a demon in the water. It turns out it really is Manager Chen!"

"Thank you, Brother Chen, for killing this scoundrel."

Fang Cangshi bowed solemnly to Chen Shun'an.

Chen Shunan smiled, pierced a piece of loach meat with the tip of his knife, and handed it to Fang Cangshi, saying,
"Want some?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Cangshi shook his head vigorously, resolutely refusing.
"This loach spirit is not picky about food or water. It can sleep in the water and walk on the bottom of the river. Heaven knows what it has eaten. I dare not eat its flesh."

Not far away, a young soldier muttered a few words to himself.
"This meat really does nourish yin and yang, and invigorate kidney essence. I feel warm in my kidneys. I'll go to the alley to cool off later..."

Fang Cangshi's ears perked up immediately, but his expression remained unchanged as he continued speaking.
"However, since it was Brother Chen who made the request, I naturally dare not refuse!"

"One piece, just one piece will do."

"Hmm... I haven't even tasted it yet and it's gone. One more piece, one more piece."

"Ah~~~"

Fang Cangshi's old face immediately relaxed.

Although it seems like there are quite a few people coming to 'eat and drink for free,' they don't actually consume much loach meat.

Loach is known as "ginseng of the water," and this yellow general is even more nourishing.

Even a small piece of food was too much for a second-rate martial artist to handle. He felt a violent surge of heat coursing through his body and had to practice martial arts stances and circulate his internal energy to digest it.

True masters are slightly better off, but they can probably only take three or four pieces at a time before they have to stop to avoid overdoing it.

Therefore, only now has General Huang's remains been missing an inconspicuous lump of flesh.

Chen Shunan is known for his generosity, and given his bountiful harvest tonight, he doesn't mind sharing the loach meat to build a good relationship!
Not far away, several figures stood behind the barricades, looking in this direction, but did not approach.

"This Manager Chen also took on the task of translating the demon language. He seems to be quite capable..."

"So what? I admit he's stronger than me, but at most he can kill me with one punch. What we're competing in is our ability to communicate!"

These men varied in height and build, and were dressed in the manner of江湖 (jianghu, the world of outlaws), exuding a strong sense of banditry.

"Brother Xiao, what do you think?"

Several people looked at a man with slightly high cheekbones and a naturally sharp, hooked nose.

Xiao Changping smiled faintly and said,
"It's nothing more than the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities. I, Xiao, have traveled all over the country for many years, seen a five-clawed golden dragon return to the North Sea, and encountered a thousand-year-old tortoise returning to the beach. Only then have I developed the ability to understand the language of all beasts and have no fear of anyone!"

After saying that, Xiao Changping strode towards Chen Shunan.

"Then we must get to know this renowned Manager Chen!"

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Xiao Changping's retreating figure, a hint of apprehension flashing in their eyes.

After thinking about it, they all followed suit.

That's right, it's up to each person to use their own methods.

The most urgent task... is to get some loach meat to eat, not for nourishing yin and yang, but to make friends with Chen Shunan and find out about his situation.

"Hey? Grandma, aren't you coming along?"

In response to his companion's invitation, Mo Long Atai, whose hand was hanging down on his outer thigh, subconsciously scratched his thigh, and smiled naturally.

"I won't go. It's too late. I'll go fishing for a while and then go home."

Mo Long A Tai glanced at Chen Shun An with a slightly guilty look.

He turned and headed towards Sakano Tsuto.

Mo Long A Tai was once a water-dwelling scoundrel, and he had some acquaintance with Chen Shun An, so they were colleagues.

However, after he became wealthy, he resigned from his job as Shui San'er and devoted himself to fishing for precious fish, which he then sold at various fish markets.

Therefore, he was instinctively reluctant to face Chen Shunan, fearing that he would be laughed at for forgetting his roots.

So he went alone into the pitch-black mountain path and was completely swallowed up by the darkness.
