Covering the Heavens: Fishing for the Heavens Starting from the Great Accomplished Holy Body

Chapter 96 Yao Xi: Another fishing enthusiast?

Yao Xi's expression changed, and she quickly retreated.

But the fishing line was too fast, faster than she expected.

With a soft "ding," the jade pendant was hooked by the fishing hook and flew towards Duan De.

Yao Xi reacted quickly, striking out with her palm in an attempt to intercept the jade pendant.

But Ye Fan was faster than her.

The Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi burst forth with a roar, like a small mountain, pressing down on her head.

Yao Xi had no choice but to dodge.

By the time she regained her balance, the jade pendant was already firmly in Duan De's hand.

"Not bad, not bad, a top-grade magic artifact, worth quite a bit of source energy."

Duan De weighed the jade pendant in his hand and smiled happily.

However, Yao Xi's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

But before she could speak, Duan De cast his fishing rod again.

This time, the fisherman was after the jade hairpin in her hair.

The jade hairpin was pure white, clearly not an ordinary item.

Yao Xi hurriedly dodged, but the fishing line seemed to have eyes; as she dodged to the left, the fishing line chased her to the left.

She dodges to the right, and the fishing line follows to the right.

A "ding" sounded.

The jade hairpin was also fished away.

"you!"

Yao Xi was shocked and furious, and her face turned extremely ugly.

Duan De took the jade hairpin, weighed it in his hand, and smiled even more broadly: "Not bad, not bad, this one is more valuable!"

Yao Xi took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and divine light surged around her.

She realized she had underestimated them; the two guys were working together too well, and that fishing rod was too strange.

But she is a cultivator from the Four Extremes Secret Realm, how could she be suppressed by two juniors from the Dao Palace Secret Realm?

"Stars illuminate the heavens!"

Yao Xi gave a soft shout, and a diamond-shaped mark suddenly appeared between her eyebrows, shining brightly, like a fairy flower breaking through the water.

At the same time, a mysterious star map appeared on her body.

The scene was so strange that a star field seemed to truly cover her jade-like body, shining brightly and incredibly deep.

Every star was slowly turning, casting a hazy starlight that made her look like a goddess descended from the depths of the starry sky.

Duan De swung his fishing rod, and the transparent fishing line pierced straight into that star field.

With a gentle tug of the fishing hook, a tiny, illusory star was actually fished down from that starry sky.

As soon as the phantom left the star field, it turned into specks of starlight and dissipated, but the star map on Yao Xi's body dimmed slightly.

"This fishing rod of yours, Master Dao, can even catch your strange phenomena!"

Duan De laughed heartily, swinging his fishing rod repeatedly.

Yao Xi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.

She could sense that the fat Taoist's fishing rod was indeed strange, capable of even shaking her celestial phenomena.

But only a very small portion was caught, so the impact on her was negligible.

"Hmph, is that all you've got? You dare to be so insolent in front of me?"

Yao Xi snorted coldly, the mark between her eyebrows glowed, and the star map on her body suddenly intensified.

The stars seemed to come alive, flying out one after another from her body, transforming into streaks of dazzling starlight that shot towards Ye Fan and Duan De.

Each ray of starlight carried a terrifying killing intent, enough to pierce through mountains.

Duan De cast his line repeatedly, the hook flying out again and again, each time catching a ray of starlight and pulling it away from its path.

But there were too many stars, densely packed, covering the sky.

He fished away one, but there are still ten left.

Even if you fish through ten paths, there are still a hundred more.

"Kid, you can't hold on much longer!"

Duan De cast his line while backing away, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Ye Fan activated the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron, which expanded to a height of ten feet, hovering above the two of them, and cascading down streams of Xuanhuang Qi, blocking all the stray starlight.

But every ray of starlight that struck the cauldron caused his blood to surge and blood to spill from the corner of his mouth.

Upon seeing this, Yao Xi curled her lips into a cold smile.

She raised her hand and pointed, and more starlight flew out from the star map on her body, overwhelming the two of them.

At the same time, she stepped forward, holy light flowing around her, and the star map became even more dazzling, enveloping her in a starlight, making her incomparably holy.

"Little brothers, do you think you can act so arrogantly in front of me with just a broken pole?"

Her voice was soft, yet it carried an undisguised sarcasm.

"Today I'll show you that cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm are not to be trifled with by ants like you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she formed a hand seal, and the starlight in the sky suddenly condensed into a giant starlight sword, which slashed down at the two of them.

Ye Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.

The power of this sword strike was enough to cleave him and the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron in two.

Just then, Ye Fan's gaze suddenly fell on her.

The battle suit blended seamlessly with her celestial aura, its shimmering light and flowing fabric making her appear like a goddess of the stars.

The hem of her battle suit swayed gently with her movements, and the star stones embedded in it shone brightly.

"Fatty."

Ye Fan suddenly spoke, his voice very calm.

"Can you fish for the star-shaped stones on that dress?"

Duan De was taken aback, then his eyes lit up.

"Let me give it a try!"

The fishing rod is cast.

The transparent fishing line pierced through the starlight and flew straight toward the hem of Yao Xi's battle suit.

Yao Xi's expression changed, and she instinctively tried to dodge, but the fishing line was too fast, faster than she could react.

With a soft "ding," a starstone the size of a fingernail was hooked by the fishing hook, fell off the hem of the battle suit, and flew towards Duan De.

"you!"

Yao Xi was shocked and furious. Before she could react, Duan De swung his fishing rod at her again.

"Ding!"

Another starstone flew away.

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

With three consecutive sounds, three star stones fell off.

Yao Xi looked down and saw that the hem of the battle suit, which was originally inlaid with seven star stones, now only had two left hanging there, making the entire battle suit look a little dimmer.

The giant sword, which had gathered the light of countless stars, trembled violently and its power was greatly reduced due to her mental turmoil.

Ye Fan seized the opportunity and smashed the Myriad Things Mother Qi Cauldron into the starlight giant sword.

"Fatty, keep going!"

Ye Fan shouted.

Duan De chuckled and cast his fishing rod again.

This time, the fisherman was fishing for the ribbon tied around Yao Xi's waist that was part of her battle suit.

That ribbon is also a magical artifact. Although it is not as precious as the star stone, if it is fished out, the battle armor will fall apart.

Yao Xi's expression changed completely.

She retreated frantically, her body showering starlight relentlessly as she tried to stop the fishing line.

But the fishing line was like a living thing, weaving and wandering in the starlight, and no matter how she tried to intercept it, she couldn't touch it at all.

The fishing hook fell and caught one end of the ribbon.

"stop!"

Yao Xi shouted sharply, grabbed the ribbon, and held on tightly.

Duan De pulled hard, the ribbon tightened, but he couldn't pull it over.

The two men stood facing off, separated by a fishing line and a ribbon, a distance of several dozen feet.

Ye Fan watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

That smile was innocent, just like that of an ordinary teenager.

"Your Highness, shall we continue fighting?"

Yao Xi's face turned ashen.

She looked down at herself.

The jade hairpin was gone, and her hair was disheveled.

The bracelet is gone, and my wrist feels empty.

The pendant is gone, and my neck is bare.

The jewels on the belt were gone, and the belt hung loosely around the waist.

The battle suit was still hooked by a corner by a transparent fishing line, and could be pulled away at any moment.

She, the Holy Maiden of Yaoguang, had never been so disheveled before.

"Okay, okay, okay."

She said "good" three times in a row, but the smile on her face had completely disappeared, leaving only a frosty expression.

"I will remember this gift today."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly jerked free, shaking the fishing line off. In a flash, she transformed into a streak of light and shot back the way she had come.

The speed was astonishing; it disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Duan De watched the rainbow light disappear into the distance and laughed so hard he slapped his thigh.

"Haha, the Holy Maiden of Yao Guang was scared away by us! If word gets out, I can brag about this for the rest of my life!"

Ye Fan didn't laugh.

He watched the disappearing rainbow light, his brows furrowing slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Duan De leaned closer and asked.

"This woman is no ordinary person!"

Ye Fan said slowly, "When she retreated just now, the look in her eyes—"

He paused, then shook his head. "Forget it, never mind. We don't have much to do with her anyway."

Duan De nodded, about to speak, when he suddenly noticed that the vanished rainbow light had reappeared.

But it wasn't coming towards them.

Instead, it stopped on a hilltop more than ten miles away.

"Why did she stop again?"

Ye Fan frowned.

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously concealed their presence, and quietly made their way towards the mountain peak.

A dozen miles away, there is an unnamed mountain.

Yao Xi landed here, her expression still grim.

She looked down at her empty waist and wrists, touched her disheveled hair, and then remembered the fishing line that had hooked her battle suit. Her face turned pale and then flushed.

More than a dozen magical artifacts are all gone.

Even their battle suits were almost fished out.

The dignified Holy Maiden of Yao Guang has been forced into such a predicament by two nameless nobodies.

"That fishing rod—"

She muttered to herself, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes, but more so, fear.

That thing is too eerie.

If she could obtain it, it would be of immense benefit to her future spiritual practice.

But those two guys were too difficult to deal with, especially that boy named Ye Fan, who was so meticulous that he didn't seem like a child.

Forcing it won't work; we'll have to find another way.

She took a deep breath and was about to leave when her gaze suddenly sharpened.

A person was sitting by a pool at the foot of the mountain.

He was a young man in black, looking to be in his early twenties. He had an ordinary face and a gentle demeanor. He was holding a green bamboo pole and fishing quietly.

The pool was small and overgrown with weeds, clearly not a scenic spot.

But the young man sat there leisurely, as if he were not in the middle of nowhere, but in his own backyard.

Yao Xi's gaze fell on the green bamboo pole.

The fishing rod looked ordinary, no different from the kind used by ordinary fishermen.

But for some reason, she felt that the pole looked somewhat familiar.

The young man's fishing posture, in particular, bore a striking resemblance to the way the fat Taoist priest cast his line earlier.

"Another fisherman?"

Yao Xi frowned slightly, a sense of vigilance rising in her heart.

But soon, that vigilance turned into another emotion.

Today she suffered a great loss at the hands of those two bastards. Her jade pendant, hairpin, bracelet, pendant, gemstones on her belt, and even five star stones on her battle suit were stolen.

The Holy Maiden Yao Guang has never suffered such humiliation.

And all of this was because of that broken pole.

Now another fisherman appears in front of us, also holding a bamboo pole.

Yao Xi stared at the green bamboo pole, her gaze gradually turning cold.

This young man showed no signs of magical power and looked just like an ordinary person. What threat could he possibly pose?

She knew in her heart that the person in front of her probably had no connection with those two juniors.

But so what?

She was furious but had nowhere to vent her anger; the two younger ones were too fast for her to catch.

But the person in front of me—

If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for also taking a fishing rod.

Yao Xi curled her lips into a cold smile, concealed her aura, and quietly descended towards the edge of the pool.
