A glimpse of opportunity: Start by marrying a mermaid bride.

Chapter 76 Jiang Yongshui: Oh no, we've encountered something dirty.

Splash splash splash splash—

The soul-suppressing bell swayed in the water, emitting sound waves. However, the magical power blessed by the old temple keeper of the Dragon King Temple was still present, instantly transmitting out in the form of water waves, causing the two drowning souls to pause for a moment.

At that very moment, Zheng Xuan suddenly accelerated, rushing to the front of a drowned soul, and took out Li Jitong's talisman and stuck it on the drowned soul's head.

The drowning soul was frozen in place, and the other drowning soul was shocked to see this and rushed over to try to save its companion.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xuan raised his hand and pointed a finger directly at the forehead of the drowning soul.

Corpse Retriever Sequence Nine: Water Ghost Skill [Drowning Soul Control] Activated!

Zheng Xuan has advanced to the eighth rank of Corpse Retriever: Water Patrolman, and awakened the skill [Other Shore Advancement]. Not only can he upgrade the Drowned Souls in his hands to the eighth-tier Wandering Soul level, but he can also increase the number of Souls he possesses by three.

Therefore, Zheng Xuan subdued the drowning soul with a single finger.

With his ability activated, the drowned soul was subdued with almost no struggle. At that moment, Zheng Xuan arrived in front of another drowned soul that was immobilized, used his ability to instantly control the drowned soul and bring it under his command.

"Owner!"

After the two drowned spirits were subdued, they came over to greet Zheng Xuan in a daze. Zheng Xuan looked over and saw that the two drowned spirits were one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, and they looked quite comical.

Zheng Xuan thought for a moment and said, "From now on, you will follow me. I will give you names."

"From now on, the tall one will be called Ah Da, and the short one will be called Ah Er."

Zheng Xuan gave the two drowned souls names. Erdan walked over and looked at Ada and Aer, saying, "You two came later, I came first. From now on, I'm your boss, and you all have to listen to me."

Seeing Erdan's attitude, Zheng Xuan did not discourage him.

Erdan is really cocky this time, he actually has two underlings.

Meanwhile, the lanternfish, which had been resting quietly among the water plants, was startled and instinctively lit up its light to frighten the enemy. However, the enemy seemed unafraid and had to run away.

I thought the shad was about to run away, but don't be fooled by its lamp-like appearance, it's actually quite fast when it swims.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go and catch it for me."

At Zheng Xuan's command, the next moment Erdan led Ada and A'er out.

Zheng Xuan was behind him, giving the impression of a thousand horsemen sweeping across the plains, leading a yellow dog on the left and a falcon on the right.

The three water ghosts instantly surrounded the fleeing scad. The scad also entered battle mode. Its tail turned red and thick, and the water around its tail began to bubble as if boiling water.

This temperature would be unbearable for an ordinary human, but the three water ghosts had no idea what scalding meant.

At that moment, Erdan gave the order: "Go!"

Then Ah Da swam over and, just as the Lanternfish assumed a fighting stance, he slapped it hard across the face. The water formed a palm-like motion that sent the over-amount Lanternfish flying.

Meanwhile, Ah Er had already swum to the spot where the Lanternfish landed and was waiting. When the Lanternfish flew over, he raised his hand and slapped it, sending it flying again.

Erdan also joined the fish-beating competition. The three water ghosts frantically fanned the spirit fish, but the method of heating the fish with a wick was completely ineffective in their eyes.

And so, the three water ghosts used the spool as a volleyball.

After several rounds, the smelt was so dizzy from being beaten that the fiery red flame on its tail went out.

At this moment, Zheng Xuan spoke up: "Stop playing around."

Upon hearing this, Erdan immediately presented the Lantern Foil Fish to Zheng Xuan as if it were a treasure. Zheng Xuan took the Lantern Foil Fish and felt that it was burning hot to the touch. This cold-blooded fish actually had a body temperature of nearly forty or fifty degrees.

This spirit fish is truly extraordinary.

Zheng Xuan then examined the lanternfish; it had no scales.

He's observing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yongnian and Gong Ping arrived just above the water. Jiang Yongnian then used his ability to sense the situation and said, "That's right, the Lantern Filament is underwater."

He then ordered the sailors on the ship to lower the net.

"Yes, three feet south of here, set the net!"

Suddenly, a net came down from the sky. Zheng Xuan, who was in the water, was looking at the spirit fish in his hand when he suddenly saw a net being cast down on the water's surface and was immediately startled.

Erdan!

Zheng Xuan called out, and Erdan immediately understood. He then channeled his soul power into Zheng Xuan's feet, and Zheng Xuan leaped out like a fish, escaping directly from the dense net.

The fine-mesh net fell, landing squarely on the three water ghosts. The three ghosts were completely unaffected, watching the net pass through their bodies and fall down.

At this moment, Zheng Xuan swam away with the Lantern-Spinning Fish. With the treasure in hand, no matter who the opponent is, running away is always the right thing to do.

Thinking this, Zheng Xuan swam faster.

At this moment, Jiang Yongshui's expression changed on the water's surface. He said, "No, that 'lamp wick lizard' escaped."

"Chase!"

Thinking this, Jiang Yongshui immediately ordered a boat to give chase, but Zheng Xuan moved so fast that the boat couldn't catch up for a while. Sensing this, Jiang Yongshui's eyes narrowed, and he stood up, saying, "Come, I'll steer the boat!"

Jiang Yongshui needed Gong Ping's help, so he couldn't let the trolley escape easily. He grabbed the oar from his men and took the helm himself. One of his abilities was to increase the speed of the boat.

Jiang Yongshui rowed his famous boat to chase after Zheng Xuan, and Zheng Xuan was unable to shake him off for a while.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuan muttered, "It's like a persistent ghost."

Then, he said directly to Erdan behind him, "You guys hold off his boat."

Upon hearing this, Erdan immediately called Ah Da and Ah Er forward.

So the three water ghosts went directly to Jiang Yongshui's boat and pushed it backward.

At this moment, Gong Ping on the boat looked at Jiang Yongshui, who was covered in sweat and paddling incessantly, and then at the small boat that was not moving and even seemed to be heading back.

A question mark popped into my mind: Are you acting out my story?

Jiang Yongshui's face turned bright red as he watched the boat remain motionless and felt the spirit fish drifting further and further away. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, this is weird!"

Gong Ping then looked at Jiang Yongshui and asked, "What's wrong, Chief Jiang? Why isn't the boat moving?"

Jiang Yong said, "Young Master, it seems we won't be able to catch this Lantern Filament Carp. We've encountered something strange!"

Gong Ping frowned and then suddenly stomped on the hull, his blood surging, causing ripples to spread around the ship.

At this moment, the three water ghosts under the boat suddenly trembled and almost dissipated, but they could no longer stop the small boat.

"Chase after them!" Gong Ping said, but Jiang Yongshui shook his head and said, "It's no use, the spirit fish has swum too far away."

When Erdan, Ada, and Aer saw that Zheng Xuan had gone far away, they immediately released the small boat.

Their eyes were filled with terror. This human martial artist was incredibly strong; even through the boat and water, he had almost shattered their souls with his blood and qi.

Fortunately, the owner escaped, so we ran away quickly.

The three water ghosts immediately ran away.

Zheng Xuan had already broken away from Jiang Yongshui and quickly found a piece of land to land on. Looking at the lamp-shaped fish in his hand, a smile appeared on his lips.

With the spirit fish in hand, time to prepare for a martial arts breakthrough!
