The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

The sheer volume of events left him feeling overwhelmed and physically and mentally exhausted.

"Everything is a new beginning."

Worried about disturbing Jiang Wan's rest, Ning Feng didn't lie back down on the bed. Instead, he sat on the chair by the window and leaned back.

He fiddled with a coin in his hand, its two sides black and white, stroking the patterns on it.

On the black side, there is a longsword protected by six wings.

Ning Feng slowly closed his eyes and whispered to himself.

Just like every time, Ariana whispered words in his ear.

"Ning Feng, you still need to become stronger."

We can no longer passively let fate push us along like this.

Wanting to control one's own destiny...

Second-order is far from enough.

Chapter 135 Fishing Has Risks (Please subscribe, vote, comment, and recommend!)

"It's been more than half a month, so there's definitely no problem!"

"Fishing is a piece of cake, it's a piece of cake, no effort at all."

"You'll all be eating fish until you're sick of it!"

On the quiet, deserted lakeside, Roda, wearing a large straw hat, sat on a fishing platform, casting bait into the lake again and again.

There were three fishing rods in front of him. He was casting bait with one hand while casually trying to gulp down a mouthful of wine.

Arm sleeves, parasol, and baggy shorts.

Fish basket, artificial bait, beer bottle.

With all his equipment in place, and a full array of fishing gear displayed behind him, he exuded the aura of a professional angler.

If some people saw this, wouldn't they call him a "fishing master"?

Unfortunately.

Despite the impressive display, the fish basket remained completely still and calm, with no movement whatsoever.

"Not recovering well? It's been half a month already."

"Just kidding, haha. Back in the day, I was a man who could fight dozens of succubi hand-to-hand. How could my recovery ability be bad?"

"……boast!?"

"How could I be bragging? I've told you so many times before! How could it be false!"

"Huh? You mean I said how many last time? Then you must have remembered wrong, what!?"

"You all? You must all be mistaken... Oh, there's a recording?"

"Ahem! Ahem... Speaking of which, what has Brother Ning been up to lately?"

cough cough cough.

After coughing heavily, Luo Da turned around and said earnestly to Lu Qing, who was constantly turning the skewers:

"Xiao Lu, what do you think Ning is after by not asking to switch teams?"

"He was already at the second tier of strength, and he also made contributions in that incident. Logically speaking, many teams should have extended offers to him, right?"

His expression was full of doubt, as if this matter had become the biggest puzzle in Rhoda's mind at the moment, and he couldn't catch any fish if he didn't figure it out.

Shaking his head, the kind-hearted Lu Qing didn't expose Luo Da's abrupt change of topic at this moment. While brushing the chicken wings with sauce, he said:

"He must have his own ideas, right? He doesn't seem like someone without his own opinions, and Mr. Yan must have explained the specific meaning to him."

"Besides, even if a team invites him, he probably won't agree, right? After all, he seems to have some connection with a Tier 3 team."

Ning Feng and Jiang Wan's relationship was common knowledge in Bincheng; there was no need to hide it, nor could it be hidden at all.

They didn't seem to have any intention of avoiding suspicion and traveled together openly.

Let others think what they want; it's none of our business.

Moreover, this isn't some kind of embarrassing relationship.

It's just that my best friend graduated...

Make a fuss.

Their actions, after attracting a few glances, ended there, and everyone felt a sense of relief.

It feels like my child has finally grown up.

Nodding in agreement, Luo Da recalled seeing Ning Feng and Jiang Wan visiting other wards together, and clicked his tongue in agreement:

"Childhood sweethearts? How wonderful! Why didn't I have anyone like that around me when I was young?"

"Moreover, I seem to have heard of that Tier 3 team before; their strength must be quite impressive."

"However, their team leader seems to have been seriously injured in this mission, which may affect his future career."

"I wonder if Brother Ning is waiting for the other side to make a decision before giving us a clear answer..."

hiss……

and many more.

If that's the case, then isn't Ning Feng using us as a backup plan?

Ah, I'm so unwilling to accept this.

But Rhoda was disheartened to discover that even if the other party treated her as a backup option, she should still be happy.

Like every sycophant, he yearns for an impossible future.

For no other reason than Ning Feng is just too irresistible right now!

Just being able to be his backup is already much better than being on other teams, so he should be secretly happy.

"Forget it, let's just let things take their course. All we can do now is enjoy this vacation."

Muttering to himself, Rhoda slowly turned his head, intending to change the subject.

Unfortunately, Lu Qingxin was kind-hearted and wouldn't reopen his wounds, but Chai Ya wouldn't tolerate Luo Da.

While fanning the unconscious child, Chai Ya, dressed in a white dress, said:

"If you were even half as good at fishing as you brag about, you wouldn't have gone three hours without catching a single fish."

Her gaze swept over the trash can they had brought, and Chai Ya chuckled as she spoke, unable to suppress a laugh:

"If you think these slippers, shorts, and tattered towels can be considered your catch, then never mind."

As the saying goes, fishermen are a group of magical creatures.

They can catch anything except fish.

"Hmph! I'm just not serious yet. I'm just fishing casually for fun. It'll be different when I get serious."

Rhoda raised his head, stiffened his neck, and stubbornly said:

"Who would put in so much effort during their vacation? Aren't you tired?"

"Oops, cough cough cough, sorry, sorry, I choked on the smoke."

At this moment, Lu Qing coughed awkwardly, his face flushed as he apologized to Luo Da.

Looking sadly at the burly apron-clad man who was bowing his head to grill skewers again, but whose shoulders were trembling slightly, Luo Dasheng sighed with despair.

The world has lost its morals. Even a cute child like Xiao Lu can turn into this after falling into the clutches of an old woman.

Indeed, it's best to avoid getting involved with women.

Snapped.

Just as Rhoda awkwardly tried to maintain her persona, the fish at the bottom of the lake seemed to seize the opportunity and suddenly exerted their strength.

The fishing rod, which had been placed there, suddenly trembled after a few movements, the fishing line taut instantly, and the rod quickly swung towards the lake!

"Hey!"

At the critical moment, Rhoda demonstrated his astonishing reaction speed and balance as a melee-type awakened being.

With a powerful leap, he flipped off the stool and stretched out his arm, narrowly managing to grab the fishing rod that was about to escape.

"Come back here!"

Standing in a contorted position, Rhoda smugly gripped the fishing rod, casting a provocative glance at the two people behind him.

"Look! This is the effect when I get serious!"

"They've taken the bait! Let's see who still calls me an old air force pilot! Look... Holy crap!?"

Rhoda strained to get up when he jumped, and now, karma is coming back to bite him.

The already unstable fishing platform began to tilt towards the lake and was about to be submerged.

He can easily return to the ground by simply letting go of the fishing rod, without even getting his trousers wet.

However, at this moment, Rhoda chose not to abandon or give up; he slowly sank into the water along with the fishing platform.

That fearless, selfless figure, determined to succeed even if it meant falling into the water, actually struck Lu Qing as somewhat tragic.

He scratched his head and spoke somewhat uncertainly:

"How about you come back, Captain Luo? Um..."

My pants got wet in a little while.

"Ignore him."

Chai Ya came to Lu Qing's side, picked up a skewer of grilled chicken wings and took a bite, chuckling as she watched Luo Da's funny back.

"I don't believe that a second-tier awakened person like him could drown while fishing. He'll let go on his own when things get really bad. You can't persuade him now."

Halflings are a very interesting race.

They always have some strange pursuits and persistence in some small things.
