Thus, Liao Xuexue quickly covered her mouth and nodded.

Seeing that, Ye Chen could not help but feel confused.

The girl before him looked sweet and was indeed a beauty, but why did she not like to talk?

Fortunately, the work that Ye Chen had assigned to her was not very laborious.

Liao Xuexue put on her fisherman’s hat, put on sunblock, and sat obediently next to Ye Chen.

After that, she kept doing the repetitive motion of throwing the bait out into the water using the steel ladles.

The scene dumbfounded the few fishing pros in the distance who were not familiar with Ye Chen’s fishing group.

It was common for guys to have their girlfriend or wife nag at them for being overly invested into a hobby, such as fishing.

There were even some hot-tempered women who would run to the river and break their husband’s fishing rod, and some of the fishing pros around had had such experiences.

In particular, a middle-aged man in a mask and sunglasses in the distance was completely dumbfounded when he saw the scene.

The reason why he was fully disguised was due to his wife’s discontent with his fishing hobby. His wife would always complain that he barely brought back any income and did not take care of their children, and refused to let him go fishing.

But as a fishing pro, the man obviously did not yield and immediately picked up his fishing gear and went fishing.

The man’s tiger-like wife at home didn’t back down and chased him directly to the river. Not only did she destroy his fishing rod, but she also gave him a beating. Now, his face was full of scratch marks, and even his eyes were swollen.

The man had no choice but to put on a mask and sunglasses to cover the wounds on his face whenever he went out.

After resting for a few days, the man really couldn’t help but want to go fishing. That day, he couldn’t help but secretly borrow fishing gear from a fishing friend behind his wife’s back and go to Seyves Reservoir to have a fun time fishing. The whole time, the man had to be on tenterhooks while fishing.

However, the guy in the distance not only had a beautiful girlfriend, but his girlfriend didn’t mind him fishing. She even helped him make a bait container.

The fully disguised middle-aged man sighed and mumbled, “Aish! How infuriating to compare myself with him!”

As for the fishing pros who often appeared by the river bank of Jiang City, they knew the backstory of such a scene.

The group of fishermen covered their mouths and laughed while secretly observing Mr. Liao’s expression, which looked like he was ready to stab someone.

At the same time, they were also curious about what Mr. Liao was mumbling while staring at Ye Chen.

What else could Mr. Liao be mumbling about? He constantly muttered, “F*ck! I’m getting dizzy…”

It was indeed dizzying.

All this while, Mr. Liao couldn’t bear to have his precious granddaughter come to the river to help him make a bait container. Meanwhile, that brat actually treated his granddaughter like a servant and ordered her around.

“Why’s Xuexue so obediently following his orders like a real employee? Sheesh,” Mr. Liao thought.

However, Liao Xuexue was not to blame for acting so subservient as she didn’t know the real story.

After all, Liao Xuexue felt that since she was getting a salary from Ye Chen, she should do her job well.

Moreover, it was her grandfather who had recommended her for the job.

Liao Xuexue flashed a sweet smile at her grandfather, signaling to him him not to worry about her.

Mr. Liao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood at the thought that this situation would continue for another week.

In the future, no matter what, Mr. Liao was determined not to make a bet with Ye Chen again. He only ended up with a huge loss this time.

As time passed, the number of viewers in the live stream room crossed 100,000.

The viewers burst into an uproar at the appearance of a sweet-looking girl on screen, although only her side profile was captured.

Unlike Ye Chen’s old fans, the new viewers did not know that the sweet-looking girl was Mr. Liao’s granddaughter.

They simply considered Ye Chen to be going overboard for making such a beautiful girl make a bait container for him.

What was even more surprising was that the sweet and beautiful girl actually cooperated with Ye Chen.

For awhile, the comments section was filled with comments such as “beast”, “devil”, “jealous”, and so on.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had finished adjusting his fishing float and tied fishing line to the fishing hook.

After hanging bait on the hook, Ye Chen shouted, “Let’s get it!”

Then, the line drew a beautiful arc and landed steadily at the spot where Liao Xuexue had made a bait container

Liao Xuexue’s eyes were sparkling as she thought, “As expected of a fishing expert. That fishing rod swing was simply too cool.”

However, just as the hook fell into the water, before the fishing float could stabilize on the surface of the water, a scene that shocked everyone occured.

The fishing float sank into the water and disappeared!

Ye Chen would not miss such a rare opportunity.

In an instant, Ye Chen lifted the fishing rod in his hand.

With a whoosh sound, the fishing rod bent into an unbelievable arc, and the hook was not lifted out of the water.

It was as if the hook had been bitten by something underwater.

There was only one possibility – a fish had bitten the hook!

Whether it was the fishing pros at the side who was familiar with Ye Chen or the group of unacquainted fishing pros in the distance, they all stared at the water in front of Ye Chen in disbelief.

Even Liao Xuexue, who was sitting beside Ye Chen, was shocked. She thought, “He just threw my fishing rod and the fish immediately took the bait? This is outrageously unbelievable.”

It was actually very common for fishing pros to get a bite as soon as they cast their rod into the water, but that was provided they had already been fishing in the area for some time.

The principle was very simple. The bait used for fishing would emit a smell after it was soaked in water. That way, the schools of fish would be gathered together over time.

That was also the reason why all the fishing pros would swing their rods in the same direction.

However, Ye Chen got a bite on his first swing, which was extremely rare.

Aside from having done ample preparations beforehand, such as blessing his rod and doing a ritual, Ye Chen had just fished up a corpse the day before.

At that moment, everyone in Seyves Reservoir had their eyes on him.

The surrounding fishing pros no longer cared about their own fishing floats. One by one, they stood up and looked in Ye Chen’s direction.

As for the live stream room, it was even more lively.

Countless viewers started to exclaim in the comments.

Liao Xuexue, who was at the side, also stopped her robotic actions and looked at the water in the distance with a stunned expression.

However, no one was more excited than Ye Chen.

What he had done just now was to use the system skill “Evil Warder”, which could only be used once a day.

As for the so-called incantation, it was completely made up by him.

In any case, didn’t fishing depend on luck? But even so, Ye Chen didn’t expect there to be a bite so quickly. After all, the system hadn’t given him a clear prompt yet.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen was certain of one thing.

The fish he caught this time was definitely not some rotten fish, nor was it a corpse, much less any other insignificant thing.
