Chapter 105: The Fish Pond is Open
Zhang Can’er was also very happy, but when she turned back and saw Wan Feng’s expressionless face, her smile faded a little. But she couldn’t comfort her now. It seemed that Shen Fanmeng probably hadn’t told anyone about their mission to stop the Transmutants, so she couldn’t say anything now.
“It’s indeed good news. I wonder if we can experience it,” Zhang Can’er said with a smile.
“I’m afraid not now. The first batch of people who went in all signed a voluntary form. If they die inside, they’re really dead. So the Federation promised in the contract to compensate their families. They’re still discussing how much to compensate now. There might still be some arguments.”
Zhang Can’er nodded, not too disappointed. She walked to Xiao Feng and Xiao An, helped them tidy their collars, and said gently, “When you’re in a high position, don’t act on impulse. Look more at how Lord Xiao and City Lord Shen do things. There must be many pairs of eyes on you now. You have to look three steps ahead. Don’t be impulsive, understand?”
Xiao Feng and Xiao An nodded, their eyes a little red.
Xiao Feng: “Don’t worry, sister. I know our situation now. I won’t act recklessly.”
Xiao An: “Mhm, we’ll discuss everything. If we really don’t know how to decide, we’ll go to Captain Xiao or Captain Shen. Sister, we’ve grown up too.”
Zhang Can’er smiled with relief. “Mhm, it’s good that you know.”
“Then we’ll be leaving now. If you need anything, just find us.”
“Okay.”
After they had walked far away, Zhang Can’er turned to look at Wan Feng and smiled. “Why are you looking so down? Don’t worry, we’re so powerful, we’ll be fine.”
“No matter how powerful, you can still die.”
Wan Feng’s face was cold, as if she couldn’t hear a word.
“Then you didn’t help me refuse before, did you?”
“Not refusing doesn’t mean I agreed.”
Zhang Can’er was a little helpless. She took Wan Feng’s hand and entered the mission hall.
Ke Yajun had found a position at the front. Zhang Can’er quickly found them.
After sitting down, Ke Yajun looked at the atmosphere between the two of them and felt that something was wrong.
She leaned into Zhuang Jiayuan’s ear and whispered, “What’s wrong with Sister Can and Sister Feng? Is Sister Feng’s cold aura trying to freeze us to death?”
Zhuang Jiayuan shook her head. “Maybe something happened.”
Zhang Can’er didn’t care about the two of them opposite her. She gently stroked Wan Feng’s hand and whispered, “Sister Feng? Don’t be angry, okay?”
“I’m not angry,” Wan Feng said with a frown, her tone much better than before.
She was just too worried about Zhang Can’er. If something happened to Zhang Can’er, she didn’t know what she would become. She might panic and not know what to do, or she might turn into a killing machine.
In short, she was very confused now. She had thought that the open test would take a long time, but she hadn’t expected that Li Yitian would be so incompetent. Sooner or later, she would have to kill him. Anyway, he was not a good person.
As Wan Feng was thinking, she blamed all the faults on Li Yitian. In her heart, she had killed him hundreds of times.
Zhang Can’er felt the cold aura emanating from her and didn’t believe her words at all. “You call this not being angry? Are you trying to freeze us to death?”
Wan Feng came back to her senses. Hearing Zhang Can’er’s words, she restrained her cold aura. When she looked at Zhang Can’er, she didn’t know how to explain.
Seeing Wan Feng move her mouth but not say anything, Zhang Can’er didn’t ask much. She waited until the review was passed and the money was in hand before the four of them returned to their residence.
They had gone out early in the morning and only returned in the afternoon. The group was a little tired.
Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng took a bath, then lay on the bed. The two of them entered the Spirit Field.
The Hardened Vines had almost all grown. They could all be delivered tomorrow.
Zhang Can’er made some food in the kitchen. The two of them ate a little. After they finished, Ru Xi suddenly appeared behind them.
Zhang Can’er was used to it, but Wan Feng was not. She subconsciously counterattacked. Ru Xi easily dodged, stopped in the air, and sneered, “What? Are you starting to want to kill me?”
“Don’t make your own wicked sense of humor sound so innocent,” Wan Feng said to her coldly.
“Heh, you’re more fun than little Can Can.”
Wan Feng squinted her eyes and also flew up, with the intention of fighting her for three hundred rounds.
“Who allowed you to call her that!”
Ru Xi feigned ignorance and chuckled softly. “What? Are you jealous that I didn’t call you that? Little Feng Feng~”
Zhang Can’er was a little speechless. She looked up at the two people in the air and said loudly, “Both of you, come down!”
Ru Xi reluctantly went down, and Wan Feng also followed.
“So protective of your wife. What’s wrong with me teasing her a little? It’s my first time having such a fun person. Much more fun than that silent gourd in the Spirit Field.”
“If you’re too idle, then help me farm. Save you from just sleeping all day.”
Zhang Can’er rolled her eyes at her and stood in front of Wan Feng.
“Tsk, the sour smell of love. I’m here to remind you that the poultry can hatch eggs now. It’s time to expand their space.”
Zhang Can’er raised her eyebrows, walked to the outside of the poultry enclosure, and looked at the nest of eggs that had been laid at some point. She was a little surprised. “Are they so uniform? Were those three nests of eggs all laid at the same time?”
“Mhm. After all, it’s the Spirit Field Space. If we can save trouble, we save trouble. Oh right, let me take you to see the fish pond.”
Ru Xi led the two of them to the back mountain. The mountain was not high, and it was only a ten-minute walk. On the way, Wan Feng asked with some confusion, “Why are those chickens, ducks, and geese not making any sound? Generally speaking, they are quite noisy.”
Zhang Can’er smiled and explained, “I asked before. Ru Xi said she found them noisy, so she muted their sounds.”
Ru Xi’s cheeky voice also came over. “When we get back, I’ll let you hear the power of them together.”
Zhang Can’er shook her head. “Please don’t. The chickens are fine, but the geese are really noisy, and the ducks too.”
After passing the mountain, Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng saw neat rows of fish ponds. Ru Xi also briefly introduced the fish species in each pond.
“There are signs on them. You can take a look. Almost all of them are river fish. Only one or two are sea fish. The fish here are different from the common fish you see.”
“For example, the Moonlight Fish. The adult size of this fish can reach ten to twenty catties. Its scales will show a rainbow color under the moonlight, which is very beautiful. And the meat is very tender, with almost no small bones, only large ones. It’s very suitable for steaming.”
Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng observed by the side of the fish pond while listening to Ru Xi’s explanation. By the time they had almost finished their tour, it was already dawn outside without them realizing.
One could imagine how large this fish pond was, almost to the point where one couldn’t see the end. And the fish in each pond were different. The strange fish and Ru Xi’s explanation mesmerized the two of them, and they were unknowingly drawn along.
The main reason was probably the novelty. Zhang Can’er’s mood was excited, because she could control so many fish. Of course, she was also in charge of the feed.
The feed was only divided into two major categories: grass and meat. The meat was much more expensive, but Zhang Can’er could exchange for it with crops, so she was not very worried.
“Sister Feng, how about we eat this Fire Rock Fish? Ru Xi said it’s delicious when braised.”
