Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi and his group led Ye Jun and his companions to a place a few miles away. He planned to let Ye Jun and the others recuperate first, as their injuries were not serious and they could recover quickly with the help of healing pills.

As for Ji Xiaolan, she needs to spend some time resting, because she has not only exhausted her Yuan energy, but also overdrawn her energy. Ji Daoyi has no other good solutions for this.

Two days later,

Ji Xiaolan has gradually recovered considerably, and Ye Jun and the others have basically returned to normal. During this time, Ji Daoyi also killed the spider monster for Ji Feiyu.

Ji Dao gathered everyone together because they were about to head to Koi Lake.

Ji Daoyi spoke to Ye Jun, "Ye Jun, do you plan to come with us or continue exploring on your own?"

"Dao Yi, you're not...?"

Before Ji Zihan could finish speaking, Ji Daoyi waved his hand, signaling her to be quiet.

Ye Jun and the others exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of Ji Daoyi's intentions.

Ji Daoyi spoke again: "I promised Sister Zihan that you could join us, but I still need to ask for your own consent. After all, following us will mean you'll get far fewer opportunities, and it might even be more dangerous. Furthermore, your actions will be restricted by me, since a team can't have two opposing opinions. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ji Zihan then realized why Ji Daoyi had brought this up. She knew she had oversimplified things, believing that people from the same family should help each other, but she forgot that they had entered this secret realm to gain more opportunities.

Now that Ji Daoyi has made things clear and let them make their own choices, even if they end up with nothing, Ye Jun and the others won't complain.

They were all at a loss for words when they heard this. Ji Xiaolan spoke first without much thought: "Young Master, I am willing to follow you. If it weren't for your rescue, I would be dead by now. I am already very satisfied to be able to leave this secret realm alive. I don't expect to gain more opportunities later."

"Me too. We only realized how dangerous this secret realm is after this incident. We not only have to face the monsters inside, but also be wary of the people who came in with us."

With Ji Xiaolan's example, the others also agreed to follow Ji Daoyi and the others, and to absolutely obey their orders.

Ji Daoyi nodded. If these people didn't want to follow them, he wouldn't force them. He saved them because they all belonged to the Ji family, but as for letting them join his group, that was not something he could force.

Even if he is the young master of the family, he cannot be so arrogant as to think that others will be willing to follow him, the so-called young master of the family, just because they are also members of the Ji family.

Humans are emotional beings; the easier something is to obtain, the less they cherish it, even if it is a rare treasure.

Therefore, it is best to let them make their own choices. Only in this way can they be of one mind and not back down halfway.

Ji Daoyi smiled and said to them, "Welcome to join us. Although I can't guarantee what you'll gain in the future, at least your safety is guaranteed."

"Now, I announce: Let's go, Koi Lake!"

Upon hearing Ji Daoyi mention setting off, Ji Xiaohu was naturally the happiest, followed by Sun Puyue. Of course, a few others were bewildered, wondering why Ji Xiaohu was so excited about the departure.

Because of the delay caused by Ye Jun and the others, Ji Daoyi decided to speed up his journey and reach his destination as soon as possible.

one day later,

Ji Daoyi led them to Jinli Lake. A gentle breeze blew, and the lake surface rippled like fine lines on silk, smooth and tender green. The distant mountains and trees were reflected on the lake surface like a beautiful painting.

"Brother Dao, this is Koi Lake. It's so beautiful, I don't want to go anywhere else."

When Ji Dao saw Ji Xiaohu galloping forward like a wild horse, he grinned mischievously and said, "Then we'll leave you here to help us fish, and we'll go explore other places first!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaohu immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around and ran to Ji Daoyi, pleading, "No, Dao-ge! How can you bear to leave me here alone? What if we encounter a wild beast here? You'll never see such an obedient and adorable brother like me again."

When Ji Dao heard his affected, coquettish words, he got goosebumps all over. The others couldn't bear to look at him and turned their heads away.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ji Daoyi kicked him into the Koi Lake, then said to the others, "Alright, let's find a suitable place to rest first. Then we'll make another batch of fishing rods, and we'll start fishing tomorrow."

Once ashore, Ji Xiaohu complained, "Brother Dao, you're too harsh on me!"

"Who told you not to speak properly? Look how disgusted you are, you've given us goosebumps. If I were Dao Yi, I would gag you so you can't speak." Sun Puyue looked at Ji Xiaohu, who was soaking wet, and delivered another blow to him.

Ye Jun and the others almost suffered internal injuries from holding back their laughter. They didn't have the same good relationship as Sun Puyue and Ji Xiaohu, so they could tease him freely.

The next morning arrived quickly, and Ji Daoyi, along with a few others who had volunteered, began fishing by the lake.

After all, fishing doesn't require too many people to go. The surrounding environment still needs someone to keep watch, otherwise they'll become a laughing stock if they get attacked by humans or monsters.

As soon as Ji Zihan sat down, she asked Ji Daoyi, who was sitting next to her, "Daoyi, do you think we can catch a dragonfish today?"

Ji Daoyi also said uncertainly, "I don't know either. It's possible that we won't catch any today, or it's possible that we'll catch a lot."

Sun Puyue comforted her from the side, "Zihan, you are the best fisherman here. If even you can't catch anything, how can we?"

"Puyu, you're right. I'm a fishing expert, how can I get discouraged before I've even started? I'm determined to catch this dragonfish today!" Ji Zihan said, constantly encouraging herself.

Ji Daoyi thought to himself that catching dragonfish is all about luck, and you can't catch dragonfish if you're unlucky, but in order not to spoil the fun, he didn't say anything more!

After three minutes,

"Wow, a fish has taken the bait! This fish is so strong, it must be an arowana. I really am a fishing expert!!" Ji Zihan stood up happily and kept playing the fish.

"Sister Zihan is amazing! She caught the fish before we even started."

"Yeah, this fish is so strong. If I could get a fish this big later, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Seeing Ji Zihan catch a fish, they cheered, because with this good start, they were sure they would be able to catch a big fish like this today.

Fifteen minutes later, the big fish finally got tired of being lured around, and Ji Zihan took the opportunity to pull it to the shore.

The crowd gathered around, eager to see what kind of fish she had caught.
