A Stardew Valley farmer came to Gensokyo.

thump~

Stop teasing them.

Xia Xun immediately realized that Ibuki Suika was teasing this unfamiliar oni older sister, and helplessly tapped her on the head.

Ignoring the angry look on Ibuki Suika's face as she covered her head, Natsumi looked at the oni woman in front of him with some curiosity.

This was the first time he had seen a demon clan other than Suika.

Raising fish in the Sanzu River is really impressive, especially since he's a fisherman!

Xia Xun stared intently at Ushizaki Junmi. Could she be Willie the Fisherman from Gensokyo?

But Junmi Ushizaki is now terrified. She had only seen Natsumi wandering by the Sanzu River and wanted to guide him back to the human world.

Unexpectedly, she encountered Ibuki Suika, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Oni Clan. Even more terrifying, from what she could see, this Oni King seemed to have been subdued by the human in front of her.

The other person is staring at her with a terrifying look, as if they want to devour her.

"Do you sell fish products?"

"Please... Ahh." Just as she was about to beg for mercy, Ushizaki Junmi felt like she had misheard and couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Natsumi.

"Hahahaha!"

Beside her, Ibuki Suika was already laughing heartily; it was quite fun to scare the Gyu-oni every now and then.

However, this guy has changed a lot too.

Suika Ibuki looked at Junmi Ushizaki. In the past, she would use people's kindness to attack them, but now she saw that people would take the initiative to help them.

Xia Xun noticed Ushizaki Junmi's confusion and explained, "I wanted to ask if you sell fishing gear or anything like that."

"Actually, Suika and I came to Sanzu River today to fish and go beachcombing."

"With the typhoon a couple of days ago, there must have been a lot of fish washed ashore and stranded!"

"Oh, so that's how it is." Ushizaki Junmi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then looked at Ibuki Suika with a hint of resentment.

But Suika Ibuki was still smiling happily, and even reached out to pat her body: "Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, let's go to the river."

"By the way, this is my husband, Xia Xun. Remember to respect him as you would me."

“Okay, Suika-sama… Ah!!” Ushizaki Junmi nodded, then quickly turned back, staring at the two of them in astonishment.

"Lady Suika's husband, you're married?!"

"Why haven't we received any news? Do the other three adults know?"

“Because we only recently got together.” Ibuki Suika drank from her sake gourd and casually replied, “As for other people, Kasen knows, after all, she is Natsumi’s teacher.”

Upon hearing this, Ushizaki Junmi stared wide-eyed at Xia Xun, her posture extremely respectful: "Lord Xia Xun, this humble servant will take you to the fishing grounds."

"Thank you for your help."

Xia Xun nodded, but didn't say anything to stop the other party from doing that, after all, Suika was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Oni Clan.

It's normal for her to respect her husband, the Ghost King. Forcing her to stop is just making things difficult for her. It's better to let her gradually realize this through future interactions.

But why is Professor Cihua's reputation useful here?

I'm truly in awe of this veteran's experience.

With the help of local Junmi Ushizaki, the three of them quickly passed through a large field of spider lilies and arrived at a huge river bend.

Ouch!

As soon as Xia Xun stopped, he heard a huge roar, and then a huge plesiosaur emerged from the water and affectionately pressed its head against Ushizaki Junmi's face.

Ah, there's this in the Sanzu River?

Xia Xun stared wide-eyed at the snake-necked dragon, her face filled with disbelief.

After calming her companions down, Ushizaki Junmi turned around and saw Natsumi's surprise. She explained, "Lord Natsumi, the Sanzu River is a river that connects multiple worlds, and it is home to many creatures that have become extinct in the outside world."

“I am currently raising a super-large fish in this river bend, and I make a living by selling these large fish.”

Before he finished speaking, a huge ancient fish leaped out of the water, measuring seven or eight meters in length.

Fish King, I think I've almost forgotten about you.

Chapter 161 Fishing on the River of Three Crossings

hum!

The fishing line hummed intensely, the fishing rod bent like a fully drawn bow, and a faint cracking sound of it straining under the weight could be heard.

"Hang in there, my partner!"

Gripping the fishing rod tightly, Xia Xun roared loudly, leaving a long trail of drag marks beneath his feet.

That was so exciting! Fishing in the Sanzu River was incredibly thrilling!

With an uncontrollable smile playing on his lips, Xia Xun's magical power surged, and his inner strength exploded at this moment as he fought against the giant beast churning in the river.

This was the first fish he caught in the Sanzu River, but it was a super big one right away.

Whoosh!

A huge tail slapped the water's surface, creating waves several meters high, and a seven-meter-long dragonfish emerged from the water.

After a stalemate that lasted for more than an hour, it finally gave out.

Right now!

Xia Xun felt the power in his hand, instantly seized the opponent's momentary weakness, and suddenly exerted his strength.

His arms were bulging with muscles, and his superhuman physique combined with the burst of magic power actually tore the giant dragon fish, which was more than seven meters long, into the air.

Boom! Bang!

Sand and dust flew everywhere, and the dragonfish, which had just dug a hole in the riverbed, struggled weakly for a few more moments before finally giving up completely.

Hahaha~!

Laughing wildly, Xia Xun put down the already cracked fishing rod in his hand, swiftly pounced over, and directly put the arowana into his backpack.

【Venus-Dragonfish】

"I thought it was Yixing's."

She muttered something insatiable, but Xia Xun's face was now full of smiles.

Putting aside the value of such a large golden starfish, its sheer size alone would surely surprise everyone at the relocation banquet.

However.

"Fish King, I probably will never be able to forget you in this lifetime."

Looking back at the broken fishing rod that had caught such a large fish, Xia Xun recalled the scene of facing the King of Fish in the Misty Lake.

Even now, after becoming stronger again, he still finds that power terrifying.

Slurp! I'm so excited! I want to go back to Lake of Mist and have a showdown with Fish King right now.

"That's amazing, Lord Xia Xun!"

Ushizaki Junmi clapped excitedly and walked up from behind, looking at Xia Xun with excitement: "This is a sea dragon fish, which is a very rare and precious fish even in the Sanzu River."

"I didn't expect you to catch one on your first try. Can you teach me how?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xun straightened his chest and began to talk at length about everything from selecting a fishing spot to preparing materials and casting.

Junmi Ushizaki looked excited, nodding her head from time to time to memorize everything.

Although it all seemed like very ordinary knowledge, the fact that Lord Xia Xun caught a dragon fish must mean that he was foolish and hadn't grasped the true meaning.

Finally, Xia Xun, who had been talking for almost ten minutes, stopped, looked at Ushizaki Runmi in front of her, thought for a moment, and then took out two hundred portions of fish bait and handed them to her: "Of course, this also includes my secret-recipe fish bait, and a portion of kisuan!"

"Yes, I understand!" Ushizaki Junmi carefully put away the fish bait, looking very happy.

Having obtained Lord Xia Xun's secret techniques, she will surely be able to catch rare fish and then breed more and better big fish.

"Miss Ushizaki, do you sell fishing rods or materials here?"

Xia Xun raised the fishing rod in his hand; the newly made fishing rod was already ruined.

Its fate is to be placed in a collection room as a memento in the future.

The iridium fishing rod also needs to be prepared as soon as possible.

"There are some!"

Junmi Ushizaki nodded quickly, then turned and ran off into the distance. A moment later, she returned with a brand new fishing rod.

"Lord Xia Xun, please look~" With a proud expression, Ushizaki Junmi placed the snow-white fishing rod in front of Xia Xun: "The main rod is made of dragon whale bone, the fishing line is made of spider lily, the float is made of yin floating wood, and the hook is made of soul-hooking iron."

"As long as the hook is in, the fish will absolutely not get away. It is the culmination of my more than two hundred years of hard work."

After saying that, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, she handed the fishing rod to Xia Xun.

He took the fishing rod, and the smooth, jade-like feel of it made him want to swing it a few times. His experience as a fisherman told him that this was simply the magic of a fisherman.

However, a gentleman does not take away what others like.

Xia Xun looked at Ushizaki Junmi, who looked reluctant to part with her fishing rod, and shook his head, saying, "This is your fishing rod, Miss Ushizaki, not mine."

“In the future, I will also forge my own custom fishing rods. For now, just sell me a few for temporary use.”

Looking at her lost treasure again, Junmi Ushizaki was surprised. She looked at Natsumi, who was looking very serious, and then looked back at Suika Ibuki, who was searching for things on the beach not far away. She realized that she had been overthinking things this time.

“I understand, Lord Natsumi.” Ushizaki Junmi nodded, then looked at Natsumi and suddenly smiled, “Since Lord Natsumi is Lady Suika’s husband, then we are naturally family.”

"Just call me Runmei."

After returning home with her dragon whale fishing rod, Junmi Ushizaki came back with three more fishing rods.

"Lord Xia Xun, please accept this as a token of my gratitude for teaching me the secrets of fishing."

"These fishing rods aren't made of particularly rare materials; I used serpentine skeletons to make them, so they're quite durable."

Xia Xun took the three new bone fishing rods. They didn't feel as good as the previous dragon whale rod, but they were still better than his fiberglass fishing rod.

Looking at the serious-looking Ushizaki Junmi, he thought for a moment and nodded: "Thank you, then I'll accept it."

"These are crops I grew myself, please accept them, Miss Runmei."

Xia Xun took 200 regular potatoes and 50 silver star potatoes from her backpack and handed them to Ushizaki Junmi.

Smelling the refreshing aroma of the plants, Ushizaki Junmi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced at Xia Xun, and quickly took the large pile of potatoes, unable to suppress a happy smile on her face.

Such human things are very precious in a place like the Sanzu River where yin and yang meet, especially those fifty potatoes that exude spiritual energy.

Lord Xia Xun's kindness is far from over.

At this moment, Xia Xun had already put the three fishing rods into his backpack to check the situation.

It has two equipment slots, both of which are equipped with the following: Yin Float - increases fishing speed in the Sanzu River by 20%, and Soul Hook - increases fishing speed by 15%.

This is a high-end fishing rod on par with the Angkor Watts, and the accompanying fishing tackle is also excellent.

The only difference between this and the goldfish rod is that the bone rod is less durable.

But Xia Xun was already very satisfied and couldn't wait to put up the bait and go to the riverbank to challenge them again.

In any case, the use of the Ocean Transmission Totem was absolutely worthwhile.

I'll come again next time.

The bored Ibuki Suika had been called away to pick up coral.

The previous typhoon brought a large amount of marine life, including corals, clams, and other similar creatures.

The girl is now happily picking them up, and she plans to have Meixiao steam them up to go with her drinks when she gets home tonight.

In the sky, a Sanzu River Guardian who was on patrol flew by and his eyes fell on the three people on the riverbank below.

"Are there two more demons among humans?"

"Oh no! Humans are in danger! I have to go help!"
