I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

A gentle breeze blows along the Huangpu River as night falls.

Ye An and Jiang Xiaotian set up their fishing gear on the shore. The surroundings were quiet, completely different from the bloody atmosphere of the martial arts arena during the day.

Jiang Xiaotian had just entered the Celestial Realm and was full of energy, radiating a newfound vitality and high spirits.

Not long after, Jiang Xiaotian's fishing rod suddenly sank downwards.

He laughed loudly, flicked his wrist, and skillfully lifted the rod and played the fish in one smooth motion.

Soon, he easily lifted a plump, lively river fish out of the water and tossed it into the fish basket next to him.

"Haha! A great start!" Jiang Xiaotian's laughter carried far into the night.

On the other hand, Ye An's fishing line hung straight down in the water, floating motionless on the surface, as if his small area of ​​water was stagnant, without even a ripple.

"It's happening again!"

Jiang Xiaotian kept casting his line, and soon there were four or five big fish in his fish basket.

He glanced at Ye An's empty fish basket, and the slight awe he felt for Ye An was somewhat diminished by the newcomer's heroic spirit.

He couldn't help but chuckle, and spoke with a tone of someone who had been through it all:

"Master Ye, fishing isn't about catching fish, it's about cultivating your mind. As the saying goes, still waters run deep; you have to be able to endure loneliness to wait for the big fish to bite."

Subconsciously, he still wanted to regain some face as an elder in some way, to prove that Master Ye was not omnipotent.

Upon hearing this, Ye An lifted his eyelids and glanced at him.

He saw the undisguised smugness on Jiang Xiaotian's face, but said nothing, only coldly snorted.

The next second, Ye An closed his eyes and his vast divine sense quietly began to operate.

An invisible wave emanated from him, like an unseen net, instantly covering the river surface for miles around.

The fish swimming underwater, the texture of the rocks on the bottom, the swaying of the aquatic plants—everything was clearly imprinted in his mind.

"Gurgle gurgle..."

The once calm river surface, right in front of Ye An's fishing hook, suddenly erupted with a series of dense bubbles, just like boiling water.

Hundreds and thousands of fish of varying sizes seemed to have heard some kind of summons and gathered from all directions like madmen, forming a dark, dense mass that looked rather frightening.

"Um……?"

Jiang Xiaotian was about to share some of his insights when his eyes widened.

Suddenly, Ye An's fishing rod, which had been motionless, bent into an exaggerated bow shape, almost being pulled into the water.

Ye An simply lifted it up casually.

A large bluefish, about half a meter long, actually leaped out of the water, drawing a perfect arc in the air, and then, precisely... jumped into the fish basket at Ye An's feet.

With a "bang," water splashed everywhere.

Jiang Xiaotian's smile froze, and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He rubbed his eyes hard, staring at the large, still-wriggling fish in the fish basket, and muttered to himself, "This...this...is this some kind of divine bait, where those who are willing take the bait?"

"What kind of supernatural power does Master Ye possess?"

But this is just the beginning.

Next, Jiang Xiaotian witnessed a scene he would never forget in his life.

As soon as Ye An's fishing hook hit the water, fish rushed to bite it, even pushing and shoving each other to grab the hook, making the water murky.

Some fish, impatient with the queue, simply imitated the grass carp from before, performing a "carp leaping over the dragon gate" and jumping into Ye An's fish basket in groups.

"thump!"

"thump!"

"thump!"

The sound made Jiang Xiaotian feel uneasy.

Looking at his own fishing rod, the float stood alone on the water. Forget about big fish, there wasn't even a small fry coming to touch it.

The waters around him were empty and eerily quiet.

He stared blankly at his empty fishing hook, then at Ye An's fish basket, which was almost overflowing, and finally a bitter smile appeared on his face.

I know you, Master Ye, are incredibly powerful, but using your abilities for phishing and cheating is a bit too frustrating...

This sense of frustration was even more unbearable than being confronted by Jiang Tianhai during the day.

Ye An seemed to have had enough fun. He slowly put away his fishing rod, looked at the dumbfounded Jiang Xiaotian, and commented in a serious tone:

"You're right, patience is very important."

"Look, I waited patiently for a while, and then all the big fish came."

"Master Ye is right..." Jiang Xiaotian's lips twitched twice, but he couldn't utter a single word.

All he wanted to do now was pack up and end this night fishing trip, which felt like a game-changer for him.

Just then, the relaxed expression on Ye An's face suddenly disappeared.

He stopped all movement, his gaze sharp, fixed on the dark opposite bank of the river.

"They've finally arrived?"

Ye An's voice was soft, carried on the cool river breeze, yet it made Jiang Xiaotian, who was standing next to her, stiffen.

Having just entered the Celestial Realm, his heart, filled with boundless pride, was suddenly stirred again.

The celestial aura that had just subsided within him began to circulate uncontrollably, warily scanning the pitch-black surroundings.

But he didn't feel anything.

Jiang Xiaotian looked at Ye An and asked in a low voice, "Master, who is this?"

No sooner had he finished asking than a strange, unpredictable gust of wind swept across the river, causing the reeds on the bank to sway wildly.

The camping light placed at their feet flickered twice and then went out.

The world was plunged into even deeper darkness.

Just then, Jiang Xiaotian's pupils contracted.

A dark figure appeared on the opposite bank of the river, which was tens of meters wide.

The dark figure seemed to be walking on an invisible whirlwind, treading on the water's surface step by step.

He wasn't fast, but he completely ignored the buoyancy of the water, his body as steady as if he were walking on a flat road.

He stopped silently a hundred meters away, his entire body blending into the night, leaving only a blurry outline visible.

Jiang Xiaotian's heart sank.

What kind of skill is this? Walking on water without leaving a trace?

No, that's not right. This is completely different from martial arts and lightness skills.

Before he could figure it out, seven more figures emerged from the surrounding darkness.

Some emerged from the shadows of the woods, some appeared from behind huge rocks, and one even materialized from the river water, his body dripping with water, and stepped ashore from the river.

Eight people, from eight directions, completely surrounded this small riverbank.

Everyone exuded an aura that made Jiang Xiaotian extremely uncomfortable.

It wasn't the Hua Jin or Zhen Qi of the martial arts he was familiar with.

He had lived for ninety years and had never seen anyone like this before.

"Snap!"

One of the white-haired women raised her hand and pointed in the direction where the two of them were standing.

With a crisp sound, the sand beneath their feet instantly froze into a sheet of stark white ice.

Immediately afterwards, countless sharp icicles, each half a foot long, burst forth from beneath the ice without warning, densely piercing the soles of the two men's feet.

Jiang Xiaotian was shocked; he had never seen such a bizarre attack method before.

This is not martial arts at all!

On the other side, a man with an unusually muscular build let out a sinister laugh.

All the fishing gear that Jiang Xiaotian had just packed up—the specially made metal fishing rod, the iron box for bait, and the knife for gutting fish—came to life on its own at that moment.

They twisted and deformed in mid-air, transforming into deadly metal arrows that emitted piercing shrieks as they hurtled towards the two men.

The moment they made their move, it was a decisive blow.

The attack came too fast and was perfectly coordinated.

Just as Jiang Xiaotian was about to use his inner energy to shatter the ice spikes beneath his feet, the metal arrows were already upon him.

He lamented inwardly, "Having just entered the realm of celestial beings, am I going to die here?"

Just then, Ye An made a move.

He simply lifted his foot casually, as if to stomp off the mud from his shoe.

"Bang."

A soft sound.

An invisible force emanated from his feet.

Those icicles that rose from the ground were instantly reduced to dust.

The flying metal arrows suddenly paused in mid-air before falling to the ground in unison, turning back into twisted metal parts.

Throughout the entire process, Ye An didn't even glance back.

He just stared at the leading dark figure a hundred meters away, feeling somewhat bored.

Is that all the tricks you have?

Jiang Xiaotian was stunned as he watched the deadly situation being resolved so effortlessly.

He knew Ye Anqiang, but he didn't expect him to be this strong.

Wang Zhengkun's Bajiquan at least had some basic martial arts techniques, which could be anticipated, but these people's methods were unpredictable and impossible to defend against.

He didn't even see how Ye An made his move.

Is this the method of cultivators?

At this moment, Jiang Xiaotian's pride in being a newly ascended Celestial Being was shattered.

He finally understood that the difference between himself and Master Ye was not the difference between a martial artist and a cultivator, but the difference between a human and a god.

The leading figure in black seemed unsurprised that Ye An was able to block the attack.

His voice, enveloped by the airflow, sounded somewhat erratic, carrying a sense of indifference as if it were none of his business.

"Ye An, the 'Destiny' organization has come to take your life."

"To have eight top officials come out at once, you... have reason to be proud."
