Chapter 54: Fishing for Personal Gain

  The demon lock has been delivered, it's a bundle of rope-like things, at first glance it doesn't seem to be different from ordinary ropes, but after pulling it with your hands you'll understand, the elasticity of that bundle of ropes is simply astonishing...it seems like it can't be pulled to its end, but as soon as you loosen your grip it immediately retracts back to its original shape.

  "Yang brothers, what kind of fish are you trying to catch? Do you still need to use a demon-locking hook?"

  "What kind of fish is so fierce????"

  "Heh heh... you'll know when the time comes, by the way Black Cow, go get the fishing rod and bait over here..." Black Cow didn't ask any questions after hearing this, and took out a fishing rod and a handful of bait from his bundle.

  "Let's go~~~" Yang Hao said and walked out towards the south, Hu Tou and Hei Niu followed behind him with great confusion, but since he made this request, there should be a reason for it. The three of them walked south for about half an hour, after crossing two hills, they found a small pond in a depression, above which was a small waterfall, the sound of the water falling into the pond created a soothing melody that could make people forget all their worries.

  "Hey!!!! Yang brothers... don't say it, but staying in this mountain for a long time really feels comfortable....." Hu Tou took two deep breaths and stood in front of the water pool with an intoxicated expression.

  "It goes without saying that this virgin forest is absolutely 100% pristine, not a bit of pollution... Of course it feels comfortable... But what's coming next might be a bit uncomfortable for you..." Yang Hao smiled and replied to Hu Tou.

  "What's wrong with you??? Can't even do it? Let me!"

  "Don't be nervous... The thing is, you're just sitting there fishing..."

  "Fishing? What big fish is there? Besides, fishing is too slow. At this rate, it's not enough for us to eat. Why not just go catch some instead?"

  "Oh dear... you have so many words, just let you fish and you'll fish... just pose a posture is fine, even if you're sleeping..."

  "...Hutou didn't say anything else, picked up the fishing rod and put on the bait, sat down on the stone at the edge of the pond and started fishing. Yang Hao let Heiniu hold the Demon Lock and hide to one side, quietly staring at Hutou's every move."

  The long wait has finally begun. The tiger-headed man sat here, but his soul had already flown away to who-knows-where. He sat for a whole day, from sunrise in the east to sunset in the west, until it disappeared from view. In the forest, except for the sound of the waterfall still echoing, everything else had fallen into silence...

  "Here it is~~~~~" Yang Hao suddenly tensed up, and Hei Niu followed his gaze towards the woods, both of their hearts seemingly stopped beating, afraid to scare it away.

  All I saw was a chubby little baby, looking like only 3-4 years old, with a bare bottom. He was wearing only a small red bellyband... and holding a small white rabbit in his arms. He bounced out to the edge of the waterfall... When he saw the tiger's head, he first froze for a moment. Then, curiously, he circled around the tiger's head several times, his two little hands waving back and forth in front of the tiger's eyes...

  "This tiger head, it's really..... Ah~~~~" Yang Hao was anxious to the point of being unable to shout, what could he do? The tiger head was like it had fallen asleep, completely unaware of everything in front of it...

  When all was at a loss, this little doll pinched the tiger's nose with one hand and covered her mouth to stifle a laugh, with a mischievous face...

  The tiger head because can't breathe, after a while, finally woke up...

  "Hey... whose kid is this? Why are they so naughty?" Hu Tou looked at the little kid beside him and scolded, but then he reacted and thought to himself, "Wait a minute, where am I now? The primitive forest! So, whose kid is this?" Suddenly, an idea popped into Hu Tou's mind...

  "You're an idiot, fishing like you... it's a wonder if you can even catch any..." Little doll said with disdain while glancing at Tiger Head.

  "Oh? Then how did you catch it???" Tiger Head looked at Little Doll with a smile on his face.

  "What makes you think I'll tell you??? Either you acknowledge me as your master or give me some benefits..." The little girl pouted and stretched out a hand in front of Tiger Head, stunning him. This little girl is quite clever, not willing to take any losses.

  "Hmm...alright...you teach me how to fish, and I'll give you a delicious dish that you've never had before..." Hu Tou was being deliberately mysterious and testing this little girl.

  "Hmph... deceiving people, what kind of big or small fruit in this mountain haven't I eaten??" The little doll swaggered back and forth.

  Hearing this, Hu's head laughed out loud, and then patted himself a few times, pulling out a pack of something that can be bought at any supermarket.

  "Hey... this... have you eaten yet??? The tiger head puts the thing in his hand in front of the doll..."

  "What is Dove chocolate?????" The doll took a look at it and had never seen anything like it before, her eyes lit up instantly, and she muttered to herself word by word.

  Hutou saw the conspiracy succeed, so he tore open the packaging bag and swallowed it in one mouthful, crunching away with a "crunch crunch" sound.

  "This thing is sweet, fragrant, rich in nutrients, and can even replenish energy~~~~" Hu Tou finished speaking, blew a mouthful of air towards the little doll, and the little doll suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance it had never smelled before. The saliva in its mouth increased.

  "Haha... This move is a bit despicable, but it's the best way to deal with dolls... This stinky old tiger has really become a spirit..." Yang Hao said with a smile from behind a large stone in the distance.

  "It's already a spirit anyway..." Black Cow chimed in from the side.

  "You're saying that this thing is not only delicious, but also has the power of a dan marble? Eating it can make me run faster?" The doll looked at the tiger head with a naive expression, blinking her big eyes and asking.

  Tiger nodded and took out another piece of candy from his pocket, waving it in front of the doll's eyes. With one hand holding the fishing rod, he teased the doll by swinging it back and forth in front of its face.

  "Alright... deal... you see, ah~~~ the art of fishing is really great, first, you need to have patience... second, you need to grasp the opportunity......" Saying these mature words, but the body is only 3 years old little kid, with a serious face, in front of you, calling you to go fishing, this scene probably makes anyone laugh out loud....

  Hutou took advantage of the doll's inattention and made a hand gesture towards Yang Hao, indicating that it was time for them to act.

  "Heed my words, Black Cow, everything must be done with care, we need to grasp it firmly but not hurt it... do you understand?" Black Cow nodded after hearing Yang Hao's words and rubbed his hands together before walking over stealthily.

  "Ah, if it weren't for the dragon's reminder, I wouldn't have caught it until who knows when..." Yang Hao muttered to himself as he stood in place.

  This doll indeed has a strong work ethic, saying that it would teach the tiger head to fish, and then fully devoted itself to 'teaching', unexpectedly being completely unaware of the black cow approaching nearby.

  "Look... fishing requires focus and patience like this... you're even sleeping, what are you fishing for... Ahhh... who is it~~~~" Little doll suddenly exclaimed, because Black Cow had simultaneously used the Demon Lock to bind Doll's body, then tied a knot as if bundling a pig.

  "What...what are you going to do?????" The little doll struggled for a few moments, but after realizing that it was impossible to get rid of the rope, tears actually flowed out of its eyes.

  "Hey... Black Cow... how can you be so heavy-handed?? It's just a doll..." Hu Tou said, and was about to go loosen its bonds.

  Yang Hao saw his plan succeed, with a look of a small-minded person who has achieved his goal, floated over and said with a smile.

  "Ginseng King, I've wronged you..."

  "Uggghhh... you're all bad eggs... this stinky old tiger is also a bad egg... I... I... am so angry I could die! Waaaahhhh..." The little doll actually started crying.

  "What? You said it's the Ginseng King? The King of Life? The Ginseng Doll? Indeed, it didn't disappoint me." Hu Tou nodded his head in satisfaction. Since Yang Hao and Jiao Long started whispering to each other, Hu Tou felt that there was something fishy going on. Later, Yang Hao asked about the treasure that could bind the Divine Demon, which made Hu Tou even more certain of Yang Hao's plan. Now everything has been confirmed.

  "Hu Tou, let's head back first... We've been here for too long, and I'm afraid of unexpected changes." Hu Tou nodded and picked up the ginseng doll, preparing to head back. Yang Hao's concerns were very reasonable, after all, the ginseng doll was the most favored treasure in the primitive forest. If other spirits found out that Yang Hao had caught the ginseng doll, who knows what kind of trouble would arise?
