Chapter 358 – Amethyst Thorned Island (9)
The crown prince set up this trap and believed from the bottom of his heart that Beichen Ying would be taken in. This way, he could seize the opportunity to ridicule him instead of always being ridiculed by him. Unfortunately, Beichen Ying wasn’t fooled.
The crown prince was infuriated to the point that the temple on his forehead started to pulse. He angrily and loudly shouted: “Get lost!”
Beichen Ying merely held the Amethyst Thorned fish and strutted around in front of the crown prince: “What’s the point of bickering? If you have the ability, let’s use strength to talk. You should also hook a fish for me to take a look.”
Su Luo saw that these two were about to fight again, and somewhat helplessly placed her hand on her forehead and shook her head. She pinched off a small ball of fish bait and put it on top of the fish hook. Once again, she cast the fis.h.i.+ng rod into the sea.
On the other side, Beichen Ying and the crown prince still hadn’t finished arguing. The sounds of surprise once again arose from this side. .
“Oh heavens!!! It moved again, the fis.h.i.+ng rod moved again!”
“This is impossible! How can it be like this? Isn’t the Amethyst Thorned fish very difficult to catch?”
“Don’t tell me that this year’s Amethyst Thorned fishes are especially dumb? Especially easy to angle for?”
“You are especially dumb! Just now, it’s not like you didn’t fish for it, why did you become stupid? Obviously, the fishes are slipping away like a thief, so slippery that they won’t stay in your hand.”
“But…but that’s not right! The fourth Miss Su clearly is hooking them very easily!”
“Then, did you see the crown prince hook an Amethyst Thorned fish?”
Nangong Liujue immediately stopped quarrelling and looked over at Su Luo. He only saw her effortlessly pull up the fis.h.i.+ng rod and that another lively, frisky Amethyst Thorned fish was hooked to her fis.h.i.+ng rod.
He was simply gaping in shock, his entire person was flabbergasted.
“This is impossible!” How could there be someone who could catch two Amethyst Thorned fishes within less than a minute?
What did she take an Amethyst Thorned fish as? An ordinary kind of fish? That was a full-of-spirit-power and intelligent Amethyst Thorned fis.h.!.+ Take him as an example, if he was able to hook one in twenty minutes, it was already considered extraordinarily great.
But, this loathsome girl’s luck was good to this extent? Two fishes within one minute!!! Two fishes!!!
The crown prince was itching to yell out loud ‘you are cheating’, these three words. However, logic told him, why would it be cheating to catch Amethyst Thorned fishes? No matter what methods you use, being able to hook one was considered good.
Su Luo glanced faintly at the crown prince. In her eyes, appeared a smiling expression that didn’t reach their depths: “Eh? Does the crown prince not have a single fish yet? This is not normal, you must try harder.”
A sentence that was as light as a feather but was like a heavy fist, was ruthlessly thrown at the crown prince’s face, knocking him dizzy.
The crown prince’s malicious gaze swept a glance at Su Luo and coldly said: “Don’t celebrate too early, the outcome of this compet.i.tion hasn’t been determined. There will be a time for you to cry!”
“Then just wait and see, see who is the person that will cry when the time comes.” After Su Luo had placed the fish bait properly, she very casually tossed the fis.h.i.+ng line into the ocean.
Other people who wanted to hook an Amethyst Thorned fish, every step of the process, they must be cautious, careful and concentrate on the task completely. They still had to throw all the spirit strength in their body onto the fis.h.i.+ng line, alway paying attention to whether the fish bait was bitten, afraid that if they were not careful, the precious Amethyst Thorned fish would be gone.
However, with Su Luo, whatever so-called professional techniques were non-existent.
She just casually threw the fis.h.i.+ng line, and afterwards, she would hold the fis.h.i.+ng rod, waiting for the fish to take the bite, then hook it easily, just like that. It simply made those so-called professionals, who were proficient in various techniques, stare with their eyes wide open.
In the beginning, everybody was using a tone of making fun of her to mock her that her way was not right, but Su Luo used reality to ruthlessly strike back at them.
In less than a few seconds, Su Luo’s fis.h.i.+ng line once again sank a little…
Now, all the people surrounding them were so excited that they had gone practically insane.
“Fish…fish…”
“Again…again it bit…”
“Heaven….Oh heavens….oh…”

Chapter 359 – Amethyst Thorned Island 10
The surrounding spectators were nearly shocked into a daze by Su Luo’s show of skill.
How could this be! This was simply impossible alright? Too unimaginable!
In less than two minutes, there was actually someone who could continuously hook three Amethyst Thorn fishes, and each were bigger than the last one?
Yet clearly, they had also tried their hand at fis.h.i.+ng before. All of them knew just how very, incredibly difficult it was to catch these Amethyst Thorned fishes that were full of intelligence!
At this moment, the crown prince was staring stupidly in a daze at Su Luo, entirely uncertain on how to react, except for the involuntary twitching of his cheek which betrayed how at a loss he felt.
“This… … This… …” The crown prince pointed at the water surface in shock, asking Su Luo in a daze: “Just what kind of devilish method did you use?”
Su Luo calmly glanced at him, raised an eyebrow and smiled vaguely: “Devilish method? Crown prince, should demonstrate it for us to see. Slandering people is wrong. Talking nonsense without evidence, others will say that the crown prince cannot afford to lose.”
“You are such a loathsome girl!” The crown prince’s eyes became bloodshot, wis.h.i.+ng he could swallow Su Luo alive and whole. This loathsome girl’s words seemed like they were polished with poison. She was simply carved out of the same mold as Beichen Ying.
“‘Loathsome girl’, is insulting whom?” Nangong Liuyun nonchalantly swept a gaze at him, His pair of eyes were cold and threatening. He bore the dignity of an elite, powerful master from head to toe.
The crown prince immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice-room, and stiffened all over, stammering speechlessly.
Abominable! The crown prince clenched his fist by his side, hating the fact that despite having the same status as Nangong Liuyun, he had always lost under that profoundly enigmatic gaze of his.
Currently, the not-so-distant Anye Ming and Lan Xuan had noticed the commotion over on this side. They couldn’t help being somewhat curious, Lan Xuan was even more so, and directly beckoned a servant over.
“What? Catching three Amethyst Thorned fishes in under two minutes? How can that be possible!” Lan Xuan leapt to his feet. Due to being too excited, even the chair behind him had toppled over onto the ground.
Anye Ming was also shocked to a standstill. Although because of Nangong Liuyun, he had thought of Su Luo more favorably; but he had never expected that the girl’s performance would actually go beyond expectations!
This was simply unimaginable to the extreme.
In this group of people, they could also be considered among the top, catching no more than two or three fishes under an hour. But that girl, Su Luo actually accomplished an hour of their efforts in under two minutes?
This was something only a tenth-ranked or above expert could do. right? Even if their fathers’ generation were to undertake the task, they might also not be able to catch three Amethyst Thorned fishes within two minutes!
Could it be that hooking an Amethyst Thorned fish was no longer related to a person’s cultivation levels? Simply inconceivable.
“Go! Let’s go see it for ourselves, I don’t believe that girl can really do it!” Lan Xuan was deeply unconvinced, grabbing Anye Ming, and with a turn of his head, left.
Anye Ming merely laughed bitterly as he shook his head.
Under the gaze of the crowd, with so many eyes watching it happen just a short distance away from them, how could it be false?
It was just that Anye Ming was also curious. He couldn’t wrap his head around how that girl Su Luo could have done it.
The crowd bustled about, every one of them was filled with excitement and the pairs of eyes watching Su Luo fixedly, simply held all kinds of complex emotions.
Shock, astonishment, envy, jealousy and hatred… … Many kinds, but most of them were still envy, jealousy and hate.
Su Luo indifferently swept her gaze around her surroundings.
Just now, these people were still vowing that they predicted that the crown prince would win. She had merely hooked three fishes, and it was enough to make them this excited. Then, if she were to hook a few more, would it not drive them all mad?
