Chapter 226: Fishing at Sea, Arriving at Sea God Island
Arriving in Vast Sea City again. Ever since the Spirit Hall discovered the effects of whale jelly, it had become one of the cities most tightly controlled by the Spirit Hall.
The fishing industry was also incredibly prosperous.
This wasn't Bibi Dong's first time here, but each time she came, she felt like she'd stepped into another world — everything was completely different from the inland.
The streets were awash in blue light.
Led by Qian Daoliu, the group boarded the Spirit Hall's massive ship and slowly sailed toward the deep sea.
Although everyone could fly, having a place to stay was still a plus.
Well, it was simply because the Qian family father and son, along with a few attendants, rarely got out. It would be a shame to rush in and out.
Now that they were out, they had to enjoy themselves. Soul hunting and the like were just side activities.
With Jin Crocodile and the others in charge of Spirit City, there was no need to worry about any trouble.
"Junior Brother, come on, let's see who catches the most fish."
Bibi Dong, having somehow managed to get two fishing rods, ran over looking incredibly excited.
Gu Han took the rod from her hands, his eyes flickering slightly as he asked, "Senior Sister, where did you get that rod?"
"I got it from Master. Oh, they're over there."
Bibi Dong gestured toward the bow, where Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji, and Qingluan sat in a row, fishing with rods in hand.
Gu Han's expression turned strange. What on earth was going on?
He turned to the excited Bibi Dong, gathered his words, and lowered his voice.
"Senior Sister, we're out at sea, the waves are huge, and this boat's moving fast. How can a fishing rod possibly catch anything? If you really want to catch fish, let's use a net."
"Oh, Junior Brother, you don't understand. This makes it more difficult — otherwise, it's so boring."
Bibi Dong gave him a look of mock confusion and pushed him toward the stern, away from Qian Daoliu and the others.
The group sitting in a row made her feel a little silly, so she decided to move elsewhere.
Gu Han sighed and followed. He looked at the fishing rod in his hand, then at the excited Bibi Dong sitting by the edge of the boat waving at him.
Never mind. No bait, no problem. He wasn't planning on catching anything anyway — just passing the time.
"Junior Brother, come on, come on! I think I caught something!"
Gu Han looked up, startled. "Caught something?"
"Come on, come on, let me see what it is!"
Bibi Dong was thrilled. The force from the line was immense, but for her, already at level 90, it was nothing.
With a powerful tug, Bibi Dong's line snapped.
"..."
She blinked, a little stunned.
"Haha, Senior Sister, you can't force a fish."
Gu Han chuckled. But a fish that could snap her line? It was likely quite large — maybe even a sea spirit beast.
"Hmph! I'm going to catch it!"
Bibi Dong pouted in determination, placing one foot on the boat's edge, her fighting spirit ignited.
Gu Han shrugged, sitting calmly as he swung his rod again. No bait, no problem — the ocean was vast.
"Father, why do we have to go to Sea God Island? Can't our current lineup take down a mere 990,000-year-old soul beast?"
Qian Xunji frowned. They could have gone straight to the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's waters, but his father insisted on visiting Sea God Island to find a capable helper.
With one Ultimate Douluo, three Super Douluos, and Xiaohan and Dong'er — both nearly Super Douluo level — it was six against one. Why bother with outsiders?
Besides, soul beasts over 100,000 years guaranteed soul bones. If that "helper" got greedy, it would just cause trouble.
Qingluan pricked up his ears. He'd wanted to ask that question but hadn't dared.
Qian Xunji's words spared him the trouble.
Qian Daoliu calmly reeled in his line — a fish half a man's height dangled on the hook. It struggled fiercely, but he channeled soul power into the line, making it unbreakable.
After pulling it up, he tapped its head, and it instantly went still.
His golden eyes glowed faintly as he glanced at his son.
"Don't ask any more questions. I have my own plans."
"Okay."
Qian Xunji knew that look well. Every time his father showed it, talking back had ended badly for him — even now. He wisely fell silent.
Qingluan scoffed. "I've already asked — why don't you push him a little more? It's just a beating. You've survived before."
"Hm? It's hooked!"
At that moment, Qingluan felt a powerful surge from his rod. He immediately channeled his soul power and tugged — but it didn't budge.
"What force! It's a big one!"
At the stern, Bibi Dong also felt the immense pull of her line. Excited, she reinforced her rod and line with soul power.
A tremendous force hit back, making her stumble. She strengthened her grip. Even with her soul power enhanced, she still felt the strain.
"Junior Brother, help me! This fish is incredibly strong!"
Gu Han quickly stepped over, grabbing the rod. Feeling the immense strength through it, he was amazed.
"Hehe, it's quite strong. Could it be a ten-thousand-year soul beast?"
Meanwhile, Qingluan also struggled at the bow, his brows furrowed.
"Looks like Qingluan caught something big. You're a level 98 — don't get pulled in by a fish," Qian Xunji mocked.
"Hmph, I don't need your help."
Qingluan gritted his teeth, soul power surging.
Then, suddenly, the ship lurched and began bobbing violently.
"What's going on?"
Lingyuan came out from the cabin, frowning. "Did we get attacked by a soul beast?"
"Nothing serious," Qian Xunji waved. "Qingluan just caught a big one."
"What kind of fish is that strong?" Lingyuan frowned. With Qingluan's strength, even a ten-thousand-year soul beast shouldn't be this hard to reel in.
"Ah!"
Qingluan was suddenly yanked overboard.
"Oh no!"
The others hurried to the railing.
"Haha, caught it!"
Bibi Dong's delighted voice rang out from the stern.
But when they looked closer, they froze — she had hooked Qingluan.
"Uncle Qingluan!"
Qingluan broke the surface, drenched but unharmed, holding his rod. When he realized what had happened, his face twitched.
It turned out their fishing lines had tangled, and the pull from both ends had flung him into the sea.
Landing lightly back on deck, he sighed.
"Uncle Qingluan, are you okay?" Bibi Dong asked timidly.
"Uncle Qingluan, I'm sorry. My sister and I didn't know it was you."
Gu Han stepped forward to apologize as well. He should've sensed it with his spirit power, but since there was no danger, he hadn't bothered — leading to this awkward mess.
"Haha, it's fine. I didn't expect it to be you two."
Qingluan smiled and waved it off. Thanks to his spirit power, he hadn't even gotten wet.
Qian Daoliu and the others arrived, taking in the tangled lines and understanding immediately.
"Haha, Qingluan, so you're the fish!" Qian Xunji laughed.
"Shut up!" Qingluan snapped, glaring at him.
Lingyuan covered her mouth, chuckling softly.
Qian Daoliu stayed calm — he had sensed the whole thing but let it play out for his own amusement.
Seeing the mood shift, Lingyuan glanced at the big fish Qian Daoliu had caught and quickly changed the subject.
"Well, Father just caught a big fish. Let me take care of it."
"Okay, okay! Master's wife, I want some grilled fish!"
Bibi Dong chimed in quickly, lightening the atmosphere.
The fish, nearly half a man's height and weighing sixty to seventy kilograms, was soon cooked. Its flesh wasn't delicate, but it was hearty and delicious — satisfying in a way small fish weren't.
The ship continued steadily forward. After a week, a massive island appeared on the horizon.
"We're here," Qian Daoliu said, gazing at the approaching Sea God Island.
The image of Bo Saixi's beauty surfaced in his mind — her strength, her elegance, her dignified grace — all unforgettable. The thought of meeting her again stirred something deep within him.
"This is Sea God Island! It's huge!" Bibi Dong exclaimed in awe.
"I hear there are many powerful sea spirit masters there," Qingluan said calmly, wondering what kind of being could stand equal to his elder brother.
"Father, let's go ashore," Qian Xunji said as the giant ship neared the coast.
"Yes, let's go."
Qian Daoliu nodded, spreading his wings and flying toward the beach. The rest followed closely.
"Stop! Who are you, trespassing on Sea God Island?"
A dozen Sea Spirit Masters appeared, spears raised, surrounding the group.
Although Qian Daoliu had been here before as a distinguished guest, these guards weren't high-ranking and hadn't seen him during the previous visit.
So it was only natural they didn't recognize him.
