I have the best bloodline

I'm taking half a day off; updates will be tomorrow.

As I was writing, I felt something was off, like I was entering a period of writer's block.

(This is a common sign among writers on Qidian.com when they reach around 600,000 to 800,000 words, and it's usually a psychological issue that can be resolved by a scolding from the editor.)

Even though my head is full of plot ideas, I often get stuck when I try to write them down.

I'm taking a day off to rest and recharge, and then I'll go for a run tomorrow morning.

It's only when you're bored that you have the time to think about these and those tiresome things. If you run a marathon tomorrow and are exhausted, you won't have the time to think about any of that.

Chapter 260 Wedding Banquet

"Hey, get up here!"

After circling around the Zhiyu Sisters, Su Yan returned to the Immortal Boat, his face full of excitement as he used the white flesh from the tentacles of the Heluo fish as bait to see what other outrageous things he could catch.

Less than three hundred miles out to sea, Su Yan caught a severely injured He Luo fish with his fishing rod. On his second cast, he caught beautiful women from the Zhiyu tribe and the Big Fish tribe.

This experience, like opening a blind box, gradually made Su Yan addicted to sea fishing.

Meanwhile, Mi Hai Sanren acted as the cook throughout the process, preparing fresh ingredients.

In her spare time, she would also go sea fishing. Sea fishing on the outer edge of the Endless Sea was a top-tier luxury activity for immortals and clan members in the cultivation world.

Without a powerful protector watching over you, going fishing in the Endless Sea is a sure way to die.

The fishing gangs would simply cast a net, and after that, regardless of whether they caught any fish, they would immediately flee back to land.

With the Fox Mother here to protect the Dharma, and with the help of Zhiyu and the big fish, the immortal ship is filled with demonic energy. Even if the wandering sea seeker goes sea fishing at will, he will not get into trouble. There is no chance that a super giant sea monster will suddenly appear, drag him to the bottom of the sea, and beat him up or extort him.

Mi Hai has fulfilled his fishing dream in the endless sea.

........................

"Fox Wonton!"

Su Yan turned around to dodge the giant shrimp's giant claws, then swung his right hand back into a giant fox paw, slapping the head of the giant shrimp that had jumped onto the fairy boat. Afterward, he lifted the giant shrimp, which was ten feet long and had eight feet of whiskers, and slammed it onto the hardened sea surface, completely knocking the fished shrimp flat on the surface.

"call"

Su Yan let out a long breath, took off his jacket and wiped the sweat from his body.

Sea fishing isn't too difficult. You just need to cast a baited hook into the sea, and most sea creatures that pass by will come over to take a look and see what the humans have brought to feed them.

As soon as you feel any unusual movement on the fishing hook, reel it in a little. If there is any more unusual movement, reel it in again. Repeat this cycle three times and the sea beast will basically become enraged and jump onto the immortal boat to prepare for a life-or-death battle with Su Yan.

This is the fishing method that Fox Mom taught Su Yan. Su Yan tried it and found it quite useful. Apart from the fact that you need to fight someone in person after you catch the fish, it has basically no flaws.

Su Yan has already fought five rounds in a row. Except for the first highly poisonous octopus he caught and the second Golden Core stage Sea King Serpent he caught, Su Yan didn't dare to fight. He personally defeated the oysters, seven-star fish and giant shrimp that followed.

"Take off one more piece! Take off one more piece!"

While Su Yan was busy catching seafood, Zhi Yu, who particularly liked the seafood from Xianzhou, saw Su Yan starting to take off his jacket and his eyes lit up. They all started to urge Su Yan to take off his shorts as well.

They all love watching this, just like the young man taking off his clothes.

Although Su Yan is often criticized by his elders for having excess fat on his belly in his fox form, it's because Su Yan is used to squatting on the ground and is too small, causing his flesh to clump together when he sits on the ground.

Su Yan had at least gone through the Body Refinement stage and had deliberately trained his physique. Although he couldn't achieve the kind of muscles that bulge out of clothes like a Weapon Sect cultivator, he could still show off his physique when he exerted force.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Zhiyu, Su Yan, though small, was quite strong and capable of lifting a giant blue shrimp that was nearly a hundred times larger than himself.

A strong and powerful male animal is considered a plus in the eyes of a female animal.

"If you all cause a ruckus, I'll start charging you!"

Seeing Zhiyu and the others making a fuss, three black lines appeared on Su Yan's forehead.

The lazy fish are quite shameless. First, they mooched fresh water on the fairy boat, then they sunbathed on the deck, and later they even mooched fish sashimi and oyster porridge for lunch. Now that they're full, they're even thinking about lewdness.

"Take off a piece of clothing! Take off a piece of clothing!"

Upon hearing that Su Yan was going to charge a fee, the Zhiyus thought for a moment and then decided to repay their debt by offering their bodies.

"I don't want any rewards from you!"

Su Yan rubbed her throbbing head and began to rant about the lazy fish's bizarre thought processes.

"crash"

Just as Su Yan was completely at a loss, not knowing how to deal with this group of female hooligans, the fox mother who had jumped into the sea earlier leaped onto the fairy boat, making the sound of waves crashing, and said:

"Little fox, get ready! Your aunt is urging us to go back for dinner!"

The fox mother flipped over and jumped onto the deck, approaching Su Yan with a beaming smile.

Seeing this, Su Yan looked helpless and reached out to pull up Fox Mom's arms.

A surge of spiritual energy swept by, and all the water on the fox mother's body gathered in Su Yan's palm. In an instant, the fox mother, who was originally wet, became extremely dry.

The fox mother's element is wood, unlike the fire or water elements which can remove water stains.

Therefore, Su Yan's dragon-like ability to control water is a very useful talent when his mother has just finished bathing but is too lazy to deal with her completely wet hair.

Fox Mom claimed that she was training Su Yan's talent, but Su Yan simply felt that she was addicted to teasing her son.

"By the way, what kind of banquet are we going to eat again?" Su Yan asked Fox Mom.

"It seems to be a wedding, right? Your aunt just telepathically mentioned to me that there would be a banquet, but she didn't say anything very specific."

Fox Mom casually remarked, not really caring, "Anyway, let's just go eat as usual."

………………

Blackwater is close to the southern states, so its wedding customs are the same as those in the southern states.

Wedding banquets are held at noon, while funeral banquets are held on the afternoon of the day of the funeral procession.

Although many members of the Huang family had died, it was not yet time for the seventh day after death, so Su Yan looked blank when she heard Fox Mother say that they were going to a banquet.

A banquet? What banquet?! Where would a banquet come from?

"We definitely need to have the wedding banquet first! If we don't, the bride's belly will soon be too big to hide."

White lanterns hang in the courtyard of Hailin Inn, with red festive lanterns dangling below them.

Hongling spoke with a helpless expression about the marriages of her younger relatives. None of her grandsons were well-behaved; they were all secretly having affairs. And to make matters worse, one of them got the woman pregnant but dared not speak up. It was only thanks to the woman's maid noticing something amiss and informing the head of the household that the real culprit was found.

Since things had come to this, there was nothing more to say. They quickly got married while the woman was still pregnant and could be covered up with her clothes.

The "seven" mentioned in the southern states does not refer to the seventh day after a person's death, but rather to the seven-day period of the "la" (腊), where one "la" completes one "po" (魄), hence a person's seven "po" are complete after forty-nine days.

Su Yan met ordinary families, and those with some wealth or from certain clans all followed the proper procedures.

The funeral procession consists of seven days, from the first seven days to the last seven days, during which a vegetarian feast and memorial service are held. The funeral can only be completed on the seventh day after the first seven days.

By the time the 47th day after the seventh month is over, the placenta inside the woman's belly is so big you can suck your fingers on it!

A wedding banquet, a mix of red and white, thus began.

The wedding banquet was particularly strange, and there were even faint sounds of wailing and suona horns coming from outside the inn.

However, the wedding banquet guests were extremely luxurious, including Grand Tutor Jin of the South China Sea Dragon Clan, Heavenly Dog Lian Qi, Nine-Tailed Fox Su Qing, Aunt of the Proud Insect Clan, and a group of Earth Immortals.

The newlyweds bowed to every immortal they encountered, starting with the one with the highest cultivation, Grand Tutor Jin, kowtowing all the way until their heads were spinning.

After paying homage to the immortals, there are also the elders in the family, starting with the grandparents and then both sets of parents.

"I suddenly feel a little fortunate that I'm the kind of person who's neither loved by my maternal grandparents nor my paternal uncles, so I don't have to go through all the kowtowing to them when I get married."

Seeing the newcomers' miserable state, Su Yan complained.

If humans kowtow like this, then what about the immortal nine-tailed fox or the black dragon of the North Sea?

"From now on, when we get married, we'll keep everything simple."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 261 Each Returns Home

The Huang family and the Fang family are happily married today.

Su Yan also gave the newlyweds the giant shrimp he had caught, which was ten feet long, as well as some of the tentacles of the Heluo fish and octopus, as gifts to help them recover.

Although not considered precious, it is still rare. After all, top-grade seafood from the Endless Sea can easily fetch several hundred kilograms of spirit stones. The tentacles of the Heluo fish, a large fish at the Nascent Soul stage, are extremely nourishing and contain immense spiritual power.

Even cultivators with weak cultivation levels cannot bite it.

"Shall we get a divorce?"

"Never leave."

The immortals were all sitting at a table eating. While they were eating, Lian Qi suddenly looked at Su Qing and said something. The fox mother looked at Lian Qi and shook her head, indicating that she had no plans to eat for the time being.

"Auntie, have a taste of this."

Hua Yu tasted a piece of shrimp meat and thought the giant shrimp meat was quite good. With a smile on her face, she picked up her chopsticks and put a piece into her aunt's bowl as well. Her aunt showed a look of disgust on her cheeks, picked up the shrimp meat from her bowl and put it into Su Yan's bowl on her right.

"No, it has your saliva on it."

Su Yan sat with her aunt on her left and her mother on her right. She peeked out and glanced furtively at the elders discussing the matter at the table, then lowered her head to continue eating, not wanting to express any opinion.

My aunt and Hua Yu are at odds, so it's not appropriate for me to interfere. It's also not suitable to say much about the matters between my mother and Lian Qi.

The Chick Hatchery Master was also eating with his head down, but he would occasionally glance at Grand Tutor Jin.

She was originally the True Lord of Burning Heaven and Overturning Seas, but was besieged by the Golden Crows and the Dragons, and changed her name to Hatching Chicks.

She didn't want to change back to her original name, fearing that she would be besieged by the Golden Crow and the Dragon again. She just wanted to change her Taoist name, but she didn't know if Grand Tutor Jin could help her speak to the Dragon Clan.

He promised not to change his arrogant and domineering Taoist name, but only wanted to get back a normal one.

But the True Lord of Hatching Chicks clearly misjudged the situation. Grand Tutor Jin was second only to the Emperor, and he had no shortage of elixirs, medicines, gold, and silver treasures. What he lacked was fun.

The name "Hatching Chicks True Lord" sounds funny.

........................

After dinner, Su Yan reverted to her fox form and jumped into her mother's arms, ready to take a nap.
