Chapter 2481: with translation of chapter title

Tianlin was happily eating; upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, not only him but also Miao Qianqian, He Muqin, Ah Huang, and even that young couple couldn't help but have their eyes light up.

Interpretation: Tianlin was enjoying the food (eating happily), and upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, not only him, but Miao Qianqian, He Muqin, Ah Huang, and including that young couple, couldn't help but brighten up.

Thus translation: "Tianlin was enjoying the meal, and upon hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, not only him but also Miao Qianqian, He Muqin, Ah Huang, and even that young couple couldn't help but have their eyes light up."

Make sure it's one line.

Anything else?

Especially that young couple had only just eaten one fish, hadn't even satisfied their craving, and thought that was it—yet they could still eat more.

We'll output: "Especially that young couple, they had only just eaten one fish, hadn't even satisfied their craving, and thought that was it, but unexpectedly they could still eat more."

"Fellow Daoist, your great righteousness—I, Li, have decided to befriend you."

The youth immediately grinned, looking sincerely at Ye Zhangqing and smiling.

Seeing the youth's carefree demeanor, Ye Zhangqing smiled and nodded in response.

The youth was quite talkative and carefree, while the girl was much gentler; even though she was drooling with hunger, she simply sat beside the youth, smiling gently, without interrupting.

Just the anticipation in their eyes was ample.

Tianlin went to catch fish, and Miao Qianqian, seeing that, went to help.

Using the same method, they reaped an equally huge harvest, leaving the other onlookers at the lakeside dumbfounded.

Seeing Tianlin and the two with their bountiful catch, everyone by the lake was stunned.

They had all tried just now, yet no one succeeded; why could they do it? It shouldn't be like that.

However, someone realized a more serious problem.

"Holy crap, all the ze fish in this lake have been caught—what are we to do?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, many people immediately frowned; they had naturally seen that, aside from the small fish, all the ze fish in this lake had been completely netted by Tianlin and Miao Qianqian.

There are no fish left in this lake.

Those small fish are not yet mature, their efficacy greatly reduced; catching them would be pointless, not worth the effort.

For a moment, everyone's expressions turned strange, yet they unconsciously looked toward where Ye Zhangqing's group was, only to see them start grilling again.

Not long after, everyone spontaneously came before Ye Zhangqing's group.

Some wanted to imitate the youth's pair after seeing them buy fish, while others came deliberately to cause trouble.

For those seeking trouble, Ye Zhangqing's response was simple: he released his aura, and in an instant everyone's expressions changed dramatically.

"Doesn't the Heavenly Palace care about killing in Dazehu Lake?"

Such a simple sentence shocked everyone; Ancient Immortal Realm—where did this fierce person come from?

In an instant, those who had intended to cause trouble and gain some benefit abandoned that idea.

Instead, they thought of buying fish.

But as soon as the price was asked, even without Ye Zhangqing speaking, the youth stood up and shouted.

"Want to buy fish? Do you have money? One thousand Star Spirit Pills per fish—if you have money, then speak; if not, get lost."

The youth likely has a high status, enjoying great prestige among the crowd; facing his rebuke, no one dared to retort.

Such a high price instantly scared away over half the people; afterward, the youth impatiently drove them away.

"Get lost, get lost, what are you loitering here for? Scram."

After helping Ye Zhangqing drive the crowd away, the youth then sat down with a cheerful laugh.

"Brother Ye, please excuse me; these people lack etiquette, from now on I'll handle such trivial matters."

He was overly familiar, already calling Ye Zhangqing 'Brother Ye'; Ye Zhangqing merely smiled and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the youth looked at the grilled fish, about to reach for it, when Tianlin suddenly spoke.

"Eating fish? Where's the money?"

Huh???

Hearing that, the youth was startled, but still generously threw a Space Ring to Tianlin.

"Consider it paid for by eating."

After taking the Space Ring, which had no restrictions, Tianlin probed it with his divine sense and gave the youth a strange look.

The Space Ring contained many Star Spirit Pills, numbering in the tens of thousands.

This kid is filthy rich.

Anyway, even if Tianlin is the young master of the Heavenly Family, his father couldn't possibly give him tens of thousands of Star Spirit Pills all at once.

He silently accepted the Space Ring without showing any emotion, and then everyone continued eating.

After finishing another lake, the group continued on their way, but the youth brought his dao companion and latched onto Ye Zhangqing.

He said cheerfully.

"Brother Ye, since this is your first time at Dazehu Lake, you could use a guide; I, Li, may be unworthy, but I wish to serve as your guide—I know this lake well."

"I know exactly where the ze fish are and where the ditches are."

Along the way, the youth eagerly promoted himself, trying to prove his worth.

Finding the middle-aged youth amusing, and since they had paid, Ye Zhangqing didn't say much more.

Moreover, as they interacted, Ye Zhangqing discovered that the youth's identity was likely even more complicated than he had imagined.

Because along the way, in front of this youth, Ye Zhangqing had never seen anyone dare to lose their temper.

No matter who, in front of this youth, they all showed a meek and obedient demeanor—what one would call 'well-behaved'.

Obviously this isn't something the youth's own strength could achieve; it must be due to his identity.

However, Ye Zhangqing didn't press further, since it was their first meeting and prying into private matters would be inappropriate.

They found another lake, with nothing else to do, and everyone ate again.

The youth and his companion also benefited, eating until their mouths were full of oil; this grilled fish is truly never enough, never getting boring.

Until Tianlin spoke, shaking the Space Ring in his hand.

"I say, Fellow Daoist Li, your money pouch is empty."

Huh???

Hearing that, the youth froze, but after glancing at the grilled fish in his hand, he gritted his teeth and still said.

Just wait, I'll give it to you when we get back to the city.

As for that, Tianlin smiled and didn't say more. Actually, this youth gives a good impression; his background is not simple, he's quite talkative, but he's not unpleasant.

All along the way, actually whether they get paid or not doesn't matter to Ye Zhangqing and them anymore.

It's just a few grilled fish, nothing special.

Dazehu has completely become like a vacation spot in the hands of Ye Zhangqing and them—there's no tension at all, on the contrary, they are extremely relaxed.

But nobody realized that on the other side of Dazehu, several strangely shaped beings from Beyond the Heavens had quietly set foot on Dazehu.

There aren't many—just three—but their cultivation is all at the Immortal Venerable level.

Moreover, these three outsiders clearly came prepared; their target is likely the human cultivators inside Dazehu.

They concealed their tracks well, going unnoticed, and the leader of these outsiders even sneered.

"Hah, those humans treat Dazehu as a training ground for their juniors—I wonder what they'd do if all those juniors died?"

"We are fully prepared here; we will command the lake's marsh fish to swarm and attack—what can these junior humans use to resist?"

The three outsiders silently infiltrated Dazehu; their target this time is the numerous young human cultivators.

These young cultivators think Dazehu is safe—this is the perfect opportunity to catch them all in one net and slay them here.

This will surely inflict heavy losses on the human race.

No one knows of the existence of these three outsiders, yet they are secretly carrying out their actions.
